"Look at him, how much he looks like me!"

Carter Sr. sat in his newly bought villa, happily hugging his little son, as if he were embracing the whole heaven, while his little wife was busy in the kitchen preparing the family's lunch and, of course, preparing one for an uninvited guest.

Seber sat across from Carter, looking at old Carter like a salted fish, and he whispered:

"So, you're going to spend the rest of your life in Gotham?"

"And what are you going to do with my old bones?"

Carter Sr. rolled his eyes: "My strength is gone, except for the little hell of Gotham, where do you tell me to find a place where I can live forever? I still have to watch my son grow up, watch my grandson grow up." ”

"First of all, I'm going to correct one of your wrong views!"

Cyber smiled and stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Carter's eyes: "Gotham's little hell will not guarantee you immortality, it will only let you live for a few decades longer than ordinary people, that's all, besides, you are different from several other people, as long as you want, I can immediately give you another contract for Ghost Rider, and you can continue to enjoy that kind of speedy life." ”

He leaned back on the sofa and took out his cigar, but when he saw the sleeping child and put the cigar back down, he coughed lightly:

"Mephisto that bastard left me some legacy, I just recently found them in the ruins of the old hell, those vengeful spirits have gone completely crazy, and I can't wake them up, but it's still okay to ensure the legacy of the ghost rider, how about it?

"Ahh

Old Carter snorted, "The ghost is willing to touch that thing, let it get as far away from me as possible! ”

The old man put his son aside in an elaborate cradle, and went to the balcony with Cyber, where the two old smokers spat out the clouds and talked about what really mattered.

"Cybertrons can accept demonization, there's no doubt about it!"

Carter Slay took a sharp breath of smoke, spit them all out freely, and said in a deep voice, "When I was leaving, the big truck robot also invited me to join Bopai, and he said that Ghost Rider would be the best comrade of the Cybertron warriors, but I politely declined, I recommended Johnny and Robbie to them, and I don't know how they got in touch." ”

Johnny refused. ”

Cyber replied, "He and his little cutie's first daughter is about to be born, that guy hasn't had time to go to the alien world lately, to be honest, Johnny is becoming more and more resistant to that force now, he wants to live a normal life, so maybe in a few years, I will take back his knightly privileges." ”

He looked up at old Carter:

"Cybertrons are an important combat force of the future Earth Federation, and we can't let them get out of our control, so I'm going to use the demonic ability of the Ghost Riders to tie them to the chariots of the Earth Federation, but to do this, we need at least the same number of Evil Ghost Knights as them, and it's best that one Cybertron is paired with one knight. ”

"I've got a job for you, old Carter... Find a human being who has knightly qualifications and agrees with the civilization of the earth for me, the rule that there can only be one knight in an era has long been outdated, I need a lot of knights now, I need a knight order... Do you see what I mean?"

"Hiss"

Carter Sr. gasped at what Cyber said, and he smoked in silence for a while, before he said:

"It's not impossible in theory, but to be honest, you're also a complete knight now, you know how hard it is to burn flesh and blood with that kind of soul fire, this kind of person is destined to be very rare, we have to transform for a long time to prepare, but you see, I'm old, I'm almost 300 years old this year, and my time is running out. ”

"Huh"

A green demon stone was thrown into Carter's hand, and Cyber's figure had disappeared in place.

"Crush it, you can live for 100 more years, for every one I find, I'll give you one more, but you have to think about it carefully, Carter, eternal life is torture, especially if you still have a happy family!"

"Hey, hey, hey"

Old Carter held the demon stone with satisfaction, he walked to the living room, looked at his sleeping son, he reached out and broke off a small piece of the stone in his hand, and with the help of his wife, he ground it into powder, mixed it in ** and fed it to his son.

"Who said I'm going to use it for myself? Look, an important mission that can be passed down for thousands of years, from now on, every generation of the Carter family will live an extraordinary life, and will enjoy the riches of the world, I don't think it's a curse..."

"By the way, I remember meeting a unique girl in Gotham Harbor the other day... What's it called?

"Ariondra Jones! she's going to be a good knight... Tut-tut, another 100-year start, what a win-win business!"

————————

"So, you called me because you were ready?"

The white-haired Doctor Strange approached Cyber's villa, his appearance was still young and handsome, and the full gray hair did not diminish his charm, but gave him a special temperament, coupled with the serene sense of penance magic, it is said that Mr. Strange has now become the most popular beautiful man in Kama Taj, much to his wife, Dr. Christine.

She receives letters from admirers from all over the world almost every day, as well as flowers and some weird magic gadgets, but fortunately, the original playboy has now become a dedicated person, and the couple are now in a good relationship, and it is said that their first child may be born in the next 3 years.

Well, this is the result of Strange's prophecy that can see through time.

Faced with Strange's question, Cyber shook his head, the black and white light in his hand surging peacefully, and he whispered:

"The situation of the Ancient One Master is different from others, she uses her future to forcibly drive the Reality Gem, it can be said that in the future timeline, she should not exist, if I forcibly resurrect her, it will be tantamount to breaking the balance... Not only myself, but the world will be affected. ”

"But you must have a way, right?"

Doctor Strange sat across from Cyber and pulled out two bottles of quaint wine from the space: "Pure Monk Red Wine of 1723, would you like a glass?"

"Yes"

Cyber nodded, allowing Strange to fill his glass, and after the two of them had a glass of wine, Cyber continued:

"Without affecting the balance, we can only resurrect the Ancient One in a clever way. ”

"Since she doesn't exist in the future, let's take a piece from the past time and form a closed circle on the timeline!"

Cyber's finger drew a circle in the air: "One second she exists, the next she disappears, but at the same time she reappears... Do you see what I mean?"

"Of course I understand. ”

Strange closed his eyes and said, "The return of the long river of time, but this is risky, and once something goes wrong, the timeline collapses." ”

"Balance! ”

Cyber patted Strange on the shoulder and whispered, "The Time Stone can perfectly fill the gap in time, I will fill her future with the balance of everything, as long as we can grasp the balance, this matter is actually very simple... But just as the resurrection of other people has a price, the resurrected Ancient One will no longer be the powerful Supreme Mage, she will only be an ordinary person..."

"That's enough!"

Doctor Strange opened his eyes, his eyes full of tenderness: "She has given too much to this world, it's time for her to rest for a while." ”

"That's what I'm trying to say. ”

Cyber snapped his fingers: "Then, leave the matter of intercepting the time fragment to you, be patient, don't take risks, we have enough time, we must be perfect!"

"Well, okay, I'll act with Barry Jr... With his ability to travel through the timeline, this job is much easier. ”

Strange responded in one sip, the plan was perfected, the pressure in the hearts of both of them was reduced a lot, and after drinking two bottles of fine wine from the past, Strange suddenly spoke:

"Cyber, I've tried to see your future when I'm idle, and I have to say, next, you may face a strange thing, I can't say more about the specific news, but you'd better be prepared to fight for a long time in another timeline, besides... If you have time, let Catherine and Barry get in touch with each other, and trust me, you'll need her help in the future. ”

As soon as Doctor Strange finished speaking, the smiling Cyber in front of him suddenly disappeared, this scene made Strange laugh dumbly, he shook his head, and said to the empty air:

"Look, whatever you say, you can come..."

"Hula"

One second he was still drinking, and the next second he fell directly from the dark sky, Cyber subconsciously agitated his strength, hovering in the dark air, he turned his head to see that the air around him was empty, like an empty world.

He suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly pulled out something from the storage fan, the black medal representing the King of Gladiatorial Fights, which was already burning at this time, obviously, the gamble between Gao Tianzun and Barbatos began...

"Hey, my gladiator king, I heard you just killed Thanos? Well done! I knew you could... But now we're not going to say that, you should already know that the game is on, Barbatos took me by surprise, and I can only tell you something in the form of a message. ”

"Next, listen to me!"

"This is another timeline, we have opened up specifically for the game, remember, there is no presence in this timeline, everything moves forward according to the established law, here, your friends will not be friends, your enemies will not be enemies, those who have died are still alive well, those who are still alive may have hung up, in short, don't let your thinking affect your judgment..."

"Your strength is definitely enough to deal with anything that comes next, but there are some things that cannot be solved by strength, like a maze, you have to solve it on your own, this is the kind of gambling game I hate the most, but it can't be helped, Barbatos is good at it. ”

"As for the rules for winning the game... I can't say too much at the moment, but I'm sure you'll find some clues as time goes on, remember, protect the important characters, and don't let the story go the way Barbatos designed, use your ingenuity and powers to break it!

"In the end, it's a well-paid gamble, and now that you've reached the monolithic universe, you're also eligible to play at the table, and you'll win if I press it for you, but like we said, if you lose... You'll be trapped in this timeline forever... Of course, I'll get you out!

"Think of it as a game, Cyber, and no matter how tough it is, don't forget the true meaning of the game, we are here to have fun, not to win!"

"Also, if there is a chance... Beat me up and kick him in the ass!"

"That's it... Game, start !!"

"Boom"

The picture in front of Cyber's eyes suddenly separated, and he himself was thrown from the stars into this familiar and unfamiliar earth by a huge force, passing through the clouds and crossing a brilliant trajectory in the darkness, Cyber's body did not need wings, and he could fly slowly in the air, he was not in a hurry, but observed his landing point.

Unexpectedly, the landing was a place he knew very well... Where his story begins.

Forever shrouded in darkness... Gotham!

"Boom"

Seb's figure landed on the dilapidated docks of Gotham, and he wandered through the night, into a familiar neighborhood, where he looked up at the Old Gun Bar and saw a vulgar nightclub, with drunkards lying outside the door, apparently drugged, and some of the debauched dancers who were close to the drinkers as if no one was around.

And outside of this nightclub, there are still some traces of the old gun bar, and the time seems to have passed for a long, long time.

"Bang"

A thug was easily pinched by Cyber's neck and held up in the air, and the latter looked at him with a cold gaze, just the murderous aura surging around him was enough to make the thug's body tremble in fright.

"Where did Christian Titch go?"

"Ahh I said, I said, old Titch is dead, died two years ago, died in the assassination planned by the Jamie Gang, that old man was a good man, but he didn't want to give in to Jamie, and the police couldn't save him..."

"Bang"

The next moment, the earth of Gotham shook, and the most luxurious nightclub in the docklands ahead was completely extinguished by the heavenly fire that fell from the sky, and everyone in it, every trace of evil, every darkness, was crushed into dust in an instant, representing endless anger from another timeline.

Death and destruction came so suddenly, so explosively!

And in the wreckage of the heavenly fire, Cyber casually threw away the bones of the thugs who had been burned to white bones, he walked into it, and in the ruins, found the familiar old Chuntian, those scum took it as a trophy, it was really evil...

"Huh"

A dark figure silently appeared behind Cyber in the darkness illuminated by the fire of destruction, and he turned his head to look at the familiar bat coat, at the familiar and unfamiliar Batman.

In the burning flames, he picked up the burned old Chuntian with his left hand, as if holding a treasure, he carried it on his shoulder, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered:

"Bruce Wayne... You've failed the city!"
