After the invasion of the frost giants and the dark elves, the earth, which was already in chaos, suddenly seemed to usher in a period of tranquility, a full 4 months, except for the actions of the Heavenly Sword Bureau against the gods and demons of Dongying, the whole world seemed to have suddenly returned to its original trajectory, there was no alien invasion, no transgressors, no bastards who were engaged in wind and rain, and even those claws hiding in the darkness seemed to be well restrained by their masters.

For a while, Cyber was a little bored.

"Daddy, we're coming to see you again. ”

Catherine, who was wearing a long white dress, leaned down and placed a bouquet of flowers in front of her father's grave, she stretched out her hand and wiped the cold tombstone, her eyes completed an arc:

"Robin can't come this year, he's training in a sacred place, and it's estimated that he won't be back until 8 years later, but don't worry, he's always taking care of himself, and Cyber is also in Gotham, but he's going to be busy today, you know, he doesn't like to talk too much, and there are some mysterious things to do, but I know, he misses you too, and I know that he often comes here alone at night to talk to you, and there are a lot of things that he probably will only say to you. ”

The eldest lady of the Devil's Gang gently slid her finger on the tombstone, as if caressing Daddy's face, even though several years had passed, the face of the old man who would always defend her in front of Cyber's eyes had never changed, and she still remembered the gentle smile Daddy showed to her when she was taken back to the Old Gun Bar by Cyber.

Lying here, she is always her dearest person, even if he has left the world, he is still giving hope and confidence to the living.

"Kevin is back, Daddy, though he doesn't remember you anymore. ”

Catherine was a little bitter, but she didn't see that Kevin, who was standing behind her and was gnawing on an apple, at this moment, a trace of dazedness and helplessness flashed on his face that was always smiling, and there seemed to be a faint emotion surging in his broken soul, wanting him to say something.

"It's... Who is this? Catherine..."

Kevin asked in a low voice, and Catherine turned her head to him and smiled, "This is Daddy, one of your relatives." ”

"Who killed him?"

The apple in Kevin's hand was thrown aside, and the imperfect man clenched his fists under a special emotion, and said seriously, "I'll go and avenge him." ”

"Nobody killed Daddy. ”

Catherine's mood was a little lost, she shook her head, stood up, helped Kevin wipe the crumbs from the corners of his mouth, and whispered, "Daddy left this world peacefully, he slept here, so we have to protect this city, understand?"

"Well, protect Gotham, I see. ”

Kevin obediently let Catherine take his hand, and the little girl turned around and waved at the tombstone under her eyes:

"Daddy, I'll see you next month. ”

And just as they turned around, they met another man who had come to visit an old friend, and Catherine, who was far away, waved her hand at the middle-aged man who was a little rickety:

"Gordon, long time no see. ”

"Oh, it's you, little girl, Barbara called yesterday and asked about you. ”

Director Gordon saw Catherine, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he patted Catherine on the shoulder, and then stuffed a piece of candy into Kevin's hand: "If Christian is still here, he will definitely be happy to see Kevin return safely." ”

"Uh-huh. ”

Catherine answered, and when Gordon had placed the bouquets at the graves of his father and his dead wife, they walked out of the cemetery together, and the three of them talked along the way, looking more like a family.

"That's right, Catherine. ”

When they parted, Director Gordon, who was already covered with gray hair, casually asked, "I heard before that the Devils have a way to resurrect the dead? Is it true or false?"

"Well, why are you asking this? Gordon, do you want to join the Devils too?"

Catherine asked with a wicked smile, Director Gordon shook his head, and pushed his glasses seriously: "No, I'm just worried that this method will leak out and be used by some well-intentioned people, speaking of which, you really have, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

Gordon was an old friend of the Christian family, so Catherine didn't think about hiding it, she whispered:

"But the conditions are very harsh, you need to preserve the soul of the deceased, as well as the body that has not yet decayed, and the taboo of life and death is not so easy to cross, even if you are resurrected, your body functions will be damaged, and you can basically only live like a weak and sick person, but this period of time the ritual has gone wrong, and it may not be able to continue to run until a long time later. ”

After speaking, Catherine also patted her chest and promised:

"It's not going to leak out, Gordon, and no one but Cyber can find the celebrant of that ceremony. ”

"Well, that's good, I'm still relieved to do things for Cyber. ”

Gordon nodded in satisfaction, pushed his glasses, and waved goodbye to Catherine, but the moment he looked back, a deep disappointment flashed in Director Gordon's eyes.

"The soul... I don't, body... Without... How can I save you..."

On the other side, in the cave at the bottom of the sea, Cyber is carrying out his monthly monitoring mission, the seal left by the ancient one is very stable, there have been no problems in the first three months, Cyber naturally thinks that there will be no problems this time, but when he entered the cave, he accidentally found that the seal runes on the stone have been silently extinguished 13.

Although 13 runes were nothing for the seal with tens of thousands of runes, this situation still made Cyber serious at the first time.

But just as he felt out the rune stone and was about to contact the ancient one, a hoarse voice sounded in his head, very suddenly, as if Professor Charles had invaded his spirit with his psychic power.

"You... Yes, it's you, I command you, break this seal and release Hela, the great goddess of death!"

"Huh?!"

Cyber turned his head and looked at the seal stone behind him, he suddenly became interested, put down the golden rune stone in his hand, he approached the seal, in the glow of the flames, he could faintly see the surge of that dark aura.

"Who are you? Hela? Wait, I remember that mythology book said, you're Loki's daughter?"

"Who is Loki? I don't know!"

The hoarse voice was a little impatient, but she seemed to have to be patient, as if she were in a situation where she had to tell a lot of secrets to a very unsightly fellow, and she said in a deep voice:

"Free me and I'll give you everything you want!"

"Wow, that's a big breath. ”

Cyber pursed his lips, he thought for a moment and said to the voice that claimed to be the goddess of death, "I want world peace. ”

"Easy!"

There seemed to be a hint of madness in that voice, and after Seber had made a request, she agreed:

"If you kill them all, there will be no wars and strife, listen, the silence of death is where the real peace lies, let me out, I will help you kill all the people on this planet! It's very simple, it's very simple!"

"Uh... This method is simple and crude enough. ”

Cybermore rubbed his chin, his expression was strange, in this sealing stone, I'm afraid there is a neurotic seal, right?

A few seconds later, he asked tentatively:

"You're being locked up here by Odin, and what is your relationship with Odin?"

"Odin! Yes! Odin!!I remember the name, he is the enemy! He is an opponent who must be killed, I will kill him, I will kill him, and then rule Asgard, I will take my legion to the end of the stars, and engrave my name on the brightest stars... I'm going to kill him! Have you seen Odin? Is he still alive?"

The voice seemed to be stimulated, and roared wildly, and she seemed eager to know the news about Odin, and Seber wanted to tell her directly, but his eyes rolled, and he spoke:

"Do you know what this place is? You should be an Asgardian, so you will call this place Midgard, the people of Asgard left Midgard 1000 years ago, and the distance from here to Asgard is almost impossible for mortals to cross, my sources are very expensive, equivalent exchange, you understand?"

"Ah, greedy fellow!"

Hela scolded disdainfully, but soon she couldn't hold back her curiosity, a guy who has been locked up for 1300 years is miserable enough, she desperately wants to know about the outside world, she desperately wants to lure the person in front of her to release her, so she quickly changed her attitude.

"But I don't hate the greedy, it only takes a little bit of effort to drive you to do a lot of things... So what do you want? etc... I feel it, you have a demonic aura in you, you make a deal with the devil?What a bold mortal, in my time, a guy like you would have your compatriots tied to a pillar and burned, hahahaha. ”

"Is it funny that I make a deal with a demon?"

Cyber's expression froze, and he made a gesture to pick up the golden runestone, and sure enough, Hela's voice became urgent:

"Hell, put that thing down! I'm just saying, I know what I'm going to trade with you, the demons' quest for souls is endless, and I... I have a lot of souls in my hands... There are so many heroic souls that you dare not imagine, come on, come and make a deal, one soul, one answer!"

"Well, that sounds good. ”

Hammering his chin, he spoke, "I want the best! Don't deceive me with defective products, you must understand that in your situation, a mortal who is willing and able to trade with you is very rare. ”

"Of course, I'll give you the best!"

Hela said in a deep voice, "I'll give you the soul of the Valkyrie! Have you heard of it?, Odin's most powerful armed handmaiden, I've got 12 of them here!, but these cuties are expensive, if you want them... 10 questions for one!Also, don't try to deceive me with lies, just you... I can't hide death!"

"Ahem, 5 for one, you ask. ”

Cyber's fingers twitched, his bargain was not rejected by Hela, it seemed that she really didn't care about the outflow of these powerful souls, and after a moment, Hela's questions were quickly reflected in his spiritual world.

"How's Odin and Asgard doing?"

"Half a year ago, in the Sleep of God, he nearly died in the rebellion of his second son Loki, Asgard was invaded by the dark elves and frost giants, and was nearly swallowed by eternal darkness, then reversed by the Supreme Mage, and now has restored order, at least on the surface. ”

Cyber replied truthfully, of course, he did not forget to add: "Also, these are 2 questions!"

"It doesn't matter! Only if he lives can I kill him with my own hands, and I can feel the vengeance of the long sword piercing his heart... Ah, it's so wonderful, it makes people tremble just thinking about it!ah... The third question!"

Hela groaned like a sick madman, and she quickly asked a third question:

"Do the people of Asgard remember me? Do they remember the undefeated commander, Hela, the goddess of death?"

Cyber recalls what he saw and heard in Asgard, and he shakes his head:

"No, no one knows your name, and I haven't seen any murals about you, you know, there are a lot of murals in Asgard, and almost every famous person has his own mural. ”

"Ahh

Hela roared wildly, the spiritual power with a dark aura made Cyber's mental space a little unstable, just from this, you can see Hela's strength, but this crazy woman doesn't seem to have lost her mind:

"What the hell are you going to do to let me out?"

"I'm not going to let you out!

Cyber shook his head and vetoed the proposal, at least while the Ancient One was still around, he would never take this risk, but this answer seemed to be expected by Hela, and she went from madness to wisdom at this moment, and she said in a deep voice:

"You need souls, I can feel your thirst, but how can mortal souls compare to the gods of Asgard... My last question, or rather, last request... Don't tell that powerful mage the truth about what I can talk to you about, hide it..."

"You're so sure I'll say yes?"

Cyber narrowed his eyes playfully, and he played with the soul that Hela threw out of the 13 extinguished runes, "You're so sure I'm going to make some kind of deal with you eventually?"

"Hehe, believe me, I've seen a lot of people like you when I'm fighting the stars... Your name is Cyber, right? People in the name of the sword, people like you will not be willing to be subservient to others for the rest of their lives, you have needs, I can help you, and with me now, it is already the limit to do this step, you see, you can call that mage at any time to reseal me, and the initiative has always been in your hands. ”

"If so, what are you afraid of? A deal between you and me will always be beneficial to you! If it's a good thing, why don't you do it?"

"Well said!"

Cyber stood up and stretched, "But I refuse! I've never been in the habit of being friends with a poisonous snake that hides in the dark. ”

He shook the sleeping soul in his hand: "Look, such a dangerous deal, just do it once, do you really think I'm one of those crazy people who are desperate for power?"

"Bang"

The rune stone was crushed, but the moment before he crushed the rune stone, the figure of the ancient one walked out of the space next to him, she glanced at Cyber, and then looked at the soul in Cyber's hand, the Supreme Mage waved his hand, and the 13 extinguished runes were instantly re-lit, and there was a layer of heavier magical power wrapped around the surface of the sealing stone, trapping it deadly in it.

"This is only one time, not the next one!"
