37. Dimensional collapse
"Goo-goo-goo"
The sound of a giant beast swallowing water sounded in the deep darkness, and if you listened closely, it looked like some kind of viscous liquid rolling, and it didn't sound like a good thing.
This is the Abyss, a place that all creatures in the realms who know the meaning of the name avoid it.
In fact, if these creatures were given a choice, either to Hell or to the Abyss, it is estimated that 100% of the beings would choose to go to Hell for a walk, where at least there would be no danger of easy death, and once you step into the Abyss, your life will not be your own.
It's up to Lady Luck to favor you or not.
Even when the world was once ruled by powerful gods, the abyss was a place that those supernatural creatures could not avoid, not because of how powerful the creatures were, but because of the weirdness and madness of the abyss itself.
In the oldest legends of the oldest gods, the abyss, this is a living being with a self-will, the nightmare is its breathing, the madness is his dream, the poisonous mist escaping from the air is its restlessness, the omnipresent chaos is the blood that drips from his body, in short, in every sense of the word, this is not a good place.
Anyone who steps into the abyss has reasons and reasons why they have to do it, in other words, they are forced by fate to move forward, and they are also a bunch of poor people.
What, you ask me, has anyone ever stepped into here?
How is that possible? Would anyone in their right mind want to go into this terrible place?
"Buzz"
Somewhere in the abyss, in the deepest darkness, a shadow squeezed out of the viscous oil-like space with difficulty, and the moment it landed, the seemingly harmless purple flower at his feet, which was a man tall, suddenly cracked a bloody mouth from the most beautiful stamen, and bit down on the unprepared figure.
"Goo-goo-goo"
It had a big mouth and a flower with sharp teeth that made the scalp tingle and chewed frantically, but soon, it sensed that something was wrong, and there was no substance in its mouth at all!
"Bang"
The whole weird flower completely exploded in the next moment, disgusting viscous blood spilled everywhere, the figure came out of the wreckage of the explosion, he raised his head, there was a trace of disgust on his tired face, he looked left and right, discerned the direction, and walked towards the very center of this eternal dark forest.
If you look closely, your feet are always less than 20 centimeters away from the ground, and his figure is a little fluttery, wearing clothes that were fashionable decades ago, and he still carries a cane in his hand, like an old immortal who has come out of time.
Uh, no, he's dead, it's just a ghost.
Walking in the abyss, time is meaningless, there is no clear concept of time in this space itself, 1 second here is the same as 1000 years of perception, the concept of time will be deprived of your consciousness, so you are not aware of the problem of the flow of time at all.
This is the abyss, the weird and amazing place.
Soon... Well, or maybe he's been trekking for dozens of days, but he's finally made it to the center of the Dark Forest, where he's died at least a hundred times along the way, but each time he dies he's quickly reborn, as if there's some higher power in the middle of this soul that doesn't dissipate because of death.
In the center of the dark forest, a hollowed-out mountain, like a palace and more like a cemetery, the ghost stood at the unobstructed entrance, he stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes, the expression on his face became solemn, and strode into it.
A mountain was hollowed out, and in it lay a large number of stone chairs, and on the chair in the forefront, a spar was placed, which looked like glass burned by flames, full of scorch marks, but emitted a special light, gentle, calm, dead silence.
He walked up to the chair and got down on one knee.
"Father... I am back. ”
He raised his head and looked at the spar, the ghost's eyes were full of memories, although most of the memories were not good, when the owner of the spar in front of him was still alive, the father-son relationship between them was not harmonious, but some things, only after they were lost, would they know how precious they were... In other words, under the erosion of loneliness, he is already about to be driven crazy.
"I found him... The one who sacrificed to save us remnants, I also see a glimmer of hope, Father, I can't resurrect you, but I swore revenge for you, the one who ruined everything we have, she's still so strong, so strong that it's desperate, but... I see hope!"
"The contracts of the realms are beginning to crumble, the dimensions are merging, an era of chaos is coming, I have to start a plan, I can't kill her..."
A hideous smile appeared on the ghost's face,
"But I can destroy everything she cherishes the most, just like she did to us back then!"
"There is no point in ruling the world, is it? kingship is not eternal... So, if you can still hear it, wish all the best for my revenge, which will be the last time I appear before you in this humble form, my father. ”
"That final moment of destruction is not too far away, I can feel it, not too far away. ”
He stood up and stepped into the chairs behind him, and on each chair lay a scorched hedron, his gaze at which was at times warm, sometimes disdainful, sometimes disgusted, sometimes frenzied, until at last he reached the last of the twelve chairs in the third row, the vacant one, on which he sat as if this was his seat.
He looked left and right, and there were only scorched hedrons on the chairs around him, but in his eyes, he was back in the Olympus, which was still standing in the sky... Around him, there are also his brothers with different personalities.
"Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite... Soon... Soon, not too far. ”
He closed his eyes, as if he had actually gone home, and put his hands on the sides of his chair,
"But before I can do that, I'll have to find the damn paradise island, the last time, the closest I came to success was when it was destroyed by their disgusting traitors, not this time... I will get rid of all the unstable factors, and then bring the scourge and endless war to this world!"
"I swear!"
"With me... In the name of Ares!"
Compared to the strange and dangerous abyss of madness, the changes in this world are incomprehensible and difficult to accept.
In the blink of an eye, 3 days have passed since the battle in the New York Sanctuary, the threat of Dormammu has been completely expelled, the world has passed by the clutches of the dark space lord, and the ordinary people living here will never know how close they are to death, they are still happily living their lives, and regard them as the most important things in life.
And those who witnessed this battle don't go out and talk nonsense, so everyone is actually living their own lives, and that hasn't changed.
Seber sat helplessly in the living room of Villa Christian in Gotham, and across from him, a little girl with her shoulders and legs crossed sat on another sofa with a domineering face, wearing a white T-shirt with a dark red logo spelling out the phrase: "Slaughter is the best medicine".
She stared viciously at Cyber and the people behind him, but anyone who was swept by this gaze couldn't help but bow their heads.
"So, you guys go to New York and fight somebody else! Leave me alone in Gotham to deal with this mess!"
Catherine screamed, "You bastards! bastards, I'm not your babysitter, you're sneaking out behind my back!
"Hey, be quiet, girl. ”
Cyber took a bottle of wine from Santals, twisted the cap, and took a sip, "Isn't there Emma and them with you? What's more, don't think I don't know, the affairs of the Devils Gang are handled by Robin now, and you just play crazy with those kids in the bar every day! We're going to fight hard, how can I let you go to war? The men of the Devils Gang aren't dead yet." ”
These words made Catherine's originally domineering momentum weaken suddenly, she snorted arrogantly, turned her head, and stopped talking to Seber, and then saw a group of young people leaning on the railing on the second floor to watch a good show, and immediately found the object of venting her anger,
"You guys, come down, are you looking at my jokes?"
Ellor Sass rolled her eyes and said to Aranak beside her, "Oh no, the little princess's hatred has shifted. ”
The black man scratched his head, "Shall we go down then?"
Sass shrugged his shoulders, turned over and jumped from the second floor, opened the bat's wings behind him in the air, and retracted when he landed, and then he felt Cyber's cold gaze, and the smug Sass turned pale, and he forgot Cyber's advice.
Don't let Catherine know about their contract with the devil...
"It's over!"
A drop of cold sweat fell from Sas's face, but Catherine completely forgot the angry emotions just now, she ran to Sass and rummaged behind him,
"What's that? What is that? I see your wings! When did you get wings? You bastard! Let me see! Quick!"
Sass looked demonized again, his body was covered with purple-black scales, dark green bat wings appeared behind him, there were demonic horns on the top of his head, and even his legs became recurved, and the chaotic and crazy aura set off a small storm in the living room, especially when the bat wings were opened, in the chaos and hideousness, there was also a trace of the most primitive violent beauty.
This scene seemed to startle Catherine, and the little girl took two steps back, her eyes widening and her mouth open, as if she could not accept the scene, but after a moment she let out a scream of joy, like a girl who had found a new toy.
"REAL COOOOL!! MAN, WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?
"Smack"
Cyberson slapped his hand on the face without love, and what he feared most had happened... But he couldn't refuse Catherine's bizarre requests, and it seemed that Konstantin was going to be busy for a while.
This may be spoiling, but after all, it is his relatives, and letting them get everything they want is what he should do and must do, isn't it?
But the next moment, Lewis, with a gloomy face, rushed into the hall and whispered in Cyber's ear,
"Boss, Konstantin ran away!"
"Bang"
The wine bottle in Cyber's hand was directly crushed, glass slag splashed everywhere, and he turned his head to look at Lewis,
"What's going on?"
"He knocked out his eight brothers who were guarding him in a strange way, and escaped overnight last night, taking the book with him. ”
Bearing the murderous aura of Cyber, Lewis said with difficulty, "I have sent the best killer to chase him, and I will definitely bring him back!"
"Get them back!"
Cyber snorted and took a deep breath, "I'll go myself! It seems that this time I have to put a dog leash on him, didn't that Chandler run?"
Lewis shook his head,
"No, that guy is very honest, he is working as a driver for Sergey, and I don't know if it's my delusion... He seemed to be enjoying it. ”
Cyber shook his head for a moment, then shook his head,
"Okay, you don't have to worry about this, arrange the latest things, I'll go to New York, I'll bring that bastard back, Kevin's ceremony... You have to be careful!"
"Well, I'll take care of it! Boss, don't worry!"
