22. A woman

Many times, many things have their hidden truths beneath the surface. So many things don't seem as simple as they seem. So this tells us that whenever we look at anything, we have to learn to grasp the truth and see the essence from a higher level.

For example, while Cyber and Strange are fighting to save the London Sanctuary, in fact, in another part of London, there is also a secret battle going on.

The Port of London, which is almost one of the oldest ports in the world, is at noon, and it is the busiest time of the day, when at least 100 ships are carrying through this port every day, and people from all over the world gather here.

It's a very lively place, and it's full of vibrancy that no other part of London has, and it's not for nothing that some people say that the city is like a glamorous old woman, still basking in the splendor of the past.

"Hmm..."

A deep voice sounded in the deepest warehouse of the port, like the comfortable groan of a well-fed man, a middle-aged man with a naked body, standing in the dark warehouse, and under his feet, there was a circle of dark earth, or ashes... The bodies of the three men were burned to the tiniest of ashes.

He lowered his head and looked at the ashes, and his face showed a touch of disdain,

"Human... Weak presence. ”

He took a step, and the first step was to imprint a footprint on the ground that was more than ten centimeters deep, he scratched his head, and said to himself with an anxious face,

"Look at this weak world, I can't even withstand a thousandth of my strength, and I don't know what's good here. ”

He reined in his strength again, and took a few steps like an ordinary person, and the moment he stepped out of the black, complex rune under his feet, the entire summoning circle shone with a dark red light, and then suddenly disappeared.

Obviously, this is not an ordinary person, he is from an extraterritorial, and this warehouse itself is certainly not used to store goods like an ordinary warehouse, the Great Demon King Mephisto secretly built a "transgression" bar on the border between the world and hell, it is just a stronghold of these outsiders, and there are many more such strongholds.

As an existence of the same level as Mephisto, the appearance of this benevolent brother is too simple, but it only takes one soul to summon Mephisto, and it takes three for him to enter reality, and it seems that his strength is stronger than Mephisto.

However, the tragic experience of a big demon king is enough to make these big people vigilant, although Gu Yi is seriously injured, but in desperation, it is no problem to completely kill a demon king.

Seeing that victory was imminent, no one wanted to fall in the dawn before darkness, especially for their noble beings.

He walked to the edge of the warehouse, and there was a set of quaint clothes on the table, he picked it up, looked left and right, and nodded with satisfaction, the most popular style 50 years ago, and his favorite clothing, and most importantly, there are still people wearing it in this era, so it will not be too conspicuous to wear it.

After a while, the Great Demon King looked at his new image with satisfaction, and the servants of the human world also thoughtfully prepared a walking stick for him that was very suitable for his identity, the best wood, the best gems, carved into the image of an angel with gray wings, which made him very happy.

"Maybe we should give those guys some reward, for their good work. ”

He walked out of the warehouse with his cane, and the light in his eyes narrowed his eyes, but they quickly recovered, and to be honest, every time he basked in the sun reminded him of those times, not a good experience, but not a bad one.

He glanced back, in the direction of the London Sanctuary, the battle that took place in the mirror space could not hide from him, that was also the destination of his trip, as long as the London Sanctuary was destroyed, he and the others would be able to enter and exit this world in the open, it would be great.

He even whistled happily, which completely ruined his perfect demeanor, but he didn't care, even if the nobles were to be unbridled with their majesty, but just as he turned a corner with his cane, he saw an uninvited guest.

It was a lady in a black dress, with a perfect figure, black stockings wrapped around her graceful legs, and together with the high heels, it was simply pleasing to the eye, wearing an elegant jacket on the upper body, carrying a new Hermès bag in her hand, and a black lady's hat on top of her head, and the whole person looked like those office girls on the most luxurious streets in London.

But at this time, she was standing impatiently at the exit of the dock, holding a slender lady's cigarette in her hand, as if waiting for someone, and when the middle-aged man in the back, wearing an old-fashioned white suit, walked out of the warehouse with a cane, the lady turned around and threw the lady's cigarette in her hand aside.

She reached out and brushed her black hair back, her big beautiful eyes flashed, and her plump lips moved slightly.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lucifer, where are you going?"

Mr. Great Demon King... That is, Lucifer, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but as a person of status, he just nodded indifferently,

"Good afternoon, Diana, long time no see. ”

His fingers twined a few times on the Greywinger's cane, and he continued, "I'm going to take care of some personal matters, and a beautiful lady like you won't stop me, will you?"

The beautiful lady on the other side pouted,

"It's always a pleasure to reunite old people, so be it, Mr. Lucifer, why don't I treat you to a cup of coffee, I know there's a famous café around here, and when I come to London on business, I like to watch the view of London Harbour there, it's actually quite beautiful, isn't it?"

A hint of impatience flashed across Lucifer's face, but Diana's left hand moved slightly, and the phantom of a long sword appeared in her hand, and she placed the sword in reality and illusion horizontally in front of her body,

"The last one to fall under this sword was a true god, you won't be like the next one, will you?"

"Excalibur..."

Lucifer glanced at the sword with fear, and he took a deep breath,

"Did you really decide to do this?Diana, you have to understand that half of the blood flowing in your body does not belong to this mortal world, you were born to be one of us, if you forget, then I will remind you once again that your relatives died in the hands of the ancient people!"

"I've never seen them..."

The shadow of the sword in Diana's hand disappeared, as if she had changed back to the coquettish girl she had before, and she whispered,

"I was born at a time when Mount Olympus had fallen more than 700 years ago, and every time I read about what my ancestors did, I felt that the Supreme Master had done nothing wrong... They didn't die at her hands, and the fall of Mount Olympus didn't originate from the war..."

The beautiful lady took out a small mirror from her bag and touched up her make-up as she spoke, even if it was only faintly visible, but it made her look even more endearing.

"The so-called Greek gods are not even wiser than this mortal civilization, maybe you are right, Lucifer, in terms of blood, I should indeed be on your side, but unfortunately... I think it's good, it doesn't need you banished gods to come back. ”

"Smack"

Diana closed the small mirror in her hand, she breathed a sigh of relief, and folded her hands on her waist,

"Listen, Lucifer, I have no intention of interfering in your fight with the Ancient One, but I can't allow you to enter the battlefield of this world too soon, go back, at least not now!"

"Boom"

A muffled thunder rang out over the port of London, and two storms had already appeared in Lucifer's eyes, and two gray shadows appeared behind him, and he looked at Diana,

"So, you're still sure you're going to stop me, aren't you?"

"I knew... The virtue of you guys!"

Diana put the women's bag in her hand on the goods on the side, took off the gloves she was wearing in both hands, she waved her hand, and a headband engraved with starlight runes appeared in her hand, and she tossed it up and down,

"I should be asking you, Lucifer, are you sure you're going to fight me here? You know, in this world, you might... Not my opponent!"

The cold air almost condensed into substance, the light became dim, as if the outside world had been covered with a heavy layer of gauze, and the two men looked at each other until Diana stuck the headband in the hair on her forehead, spread her hands, and a silver-gray sword and a rope that shone orange appeared in the palm of her hand, Lucifer suddenly took a step back.

"You're good... Princess Diana of the Amazon, you have managed to get yourself into trouble, and I wonder what you and these mortals you are guarding will use against us on the day we truly step into this world... From the Nine Kingdoms to the Abyss of Hell, all the forces have been united... You're on the side of your doomed to lose!"

"This time, you've won!"

A large and complex dark red circle appeared at Lucifer's feet, and the cane in his hand tapped the ground, and his figure was slowly blown into the air like quicksand in the wind.

"Next time... It's not that easy. ”

After a few minutes, the place was bright again, as if it had returned to light from some place where hell and the present meet, Diana took off her headband and pulled her beloved bag back up, she glanced at the charred ground, shook her head, tugged at the brim of her hat, and turned away from the corner of the warehouse.

"It's... A bunch of old guys who don't know what to call them. ”

She walked down the streets of a bustling London Harbour, watching ordinary people live their lives in various ways, and the corners of her mouth also flashed a gentle smile,

"Behold, Trevor... I've protected your world once again..."

She leaned against the railing at the water's edge and stretched, "Ah, it's a bad day off to be in the soup like this, and tomorrow I have to go to work!"

Every move of this beautiful lady can attract the attention of the men around her, but she doesn't care, she was already used to this kind of treatment when she first stepped into the human world decades ago, and beautiful women can be treated preferentially anywhere, don't they?

But when she walked around a street corner, her nose twitched suddenly, her eyes quickly turned to the side, and then she saw a ragged guy sitting on a chair on the sidewalk opposite, he also had a delicate wooden box in his hand, it seemed to be waiting for someone, that guy looked very ordinary, nothing special, but... After confirming it again, a look of doubt suddenly flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"That smell just now... How does it smell like..."

After a few moments, Cyber's ears moved, and he heard the sound of high heels hitting the ground from far and near, and finally the sound stopped before his eyes, and a smell of perfume entered his nostrils, and he opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a beautiful black haired woman he had never seen standing in front of him with a bag, and those long legs wrapped in stockings would make any man think about it.

She held a lady's cigarette in one hand and looked at him condescendingly,

"Sir, is there a fire?"
