Chapter 065: Conviction Announced

Not to Rhaegar's surprise, the scuffle that took place in the hidden basement of the Gotham Grand Theater ended in anticlimactic form. Although the mutants have the heart to fight to the death with the Assassin Alliance, Lei Xiaogu on the side of the Assassin Alliance has no intention of fighting with the mutants for their lives. With the strength of Lei Xiaogu, the Assassins retreated from the hidden basement with relative ease, and took the two corpses and injured colleagues with them along the way. The mutants were naturally unwilling to let Lei Xiaogu and them leave, chased them out and pestered them endlessly, but it seemed that the result was not very ideal.

In order to get the legendary resurrection pool water, Wolverine and they sacrificed enough, but unfortunately they didn't seem to be able to pass the level of Lei Xiaogu. Rhaegar was a little curious about this, since they were willing to pay such a big price, why didn't the more powerful ones among the mutants appear? Like Professor X and Magneto, like Phoenix and Cyclops...... With them, even if they can't beat the legendary Lei Xiaogu who has lived for hundreds of years, it will increase a lot of chances!

Honestly, mutants will appear in Gotham, a mystery that is shrouded in fog from the cause to the result. As for what the mystery is, Rhaegar doesn't have the time or mood to find out for the time being - he's being targeted by the death knell.

No, to be precise, it was his new identity as a 'vengeful spirit' that was targeted by the death knell.

At that time, he and Knell were fighting fiercely for hundreds of rounds, and the two sides were not very lively. As the second king of DC, Death Knell has no one to hang him this time, his strength is at a normal level, and for Death Knell, this is an encounter that has not been prepared in advance, but Rhaegar has been prepared for a long time, so it can be dealt with. Rhaegar also knew that he did not have an advantage in terms of skill and experience, so he simply fought with Death Knell in all his moves. Also, Coulson was on the scene. Whenever Death Knell uses the dual-wielding routine of 'left pistol and right hand knife', which Rhaegar is not good at, can force Rhaegar to be in danger, Coulson waits for an opportunity to shoot, which in turn forces Knell to give up the gun. Yes, just as Death Knell can't kill him in plain sight, he can't kill Death Knell directly. Under such a stalemate, Rhaegar, who was gradually exhausted, finally waited for the moment when Lei Xiaogu took the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield and the mutants chased him out.

Lei Xiaogu's departure means that Knell has made the mutants and the Assassin alliance fight for both sides, and in the end, his plan to reap the victory and obtain the legendary resurrection pool water from Lei Xiaogu has failed, and there is no need to continue to stay. For a few moments, Rhaegar felt the fury of the Death Knell. But Deathbell endured.

Probably because of the 'Vengeful Spirit' eyeing him, Deathstroke did not directly hold Coulson responsible for destroying his entire plan - at least not for the time being, but took the initiative to propose a strike to the 'Vengeful Spirit' Rhaegar and talked to Rhaegar about it. He asks Rhaegar questions about his background and purpose, and he is not annoyed when he gets Rhaegar to answer insincerely—at least not on the surface, and finally invites Rhaegar to join Hydra!

Rhaegar refused. When he answered the questions raised by Deathbell, he faked a backstory for himself about the uneven road and drawing a sword to help, such as just traveling to this side of the capital and feeling the smell of blood here, so he came to save people or something. In his lie, Ward was the one who needed him to save him, so he simply contacted the Gotham police who were already nearby, and then followed the feeling and chased the police in.

This is clearly not a logical story. Even if it's called the 'Spirit of Vengeance', it's actually righteous and courageous? Please, you have to use snacks to lie, okay! In fact, Rhaegar regretted it as soon as he said it. He had to rack his brains to find a way to remedy it, and Skye, Fitz, and Simmons on the other end of the communication also gave him ideas, but unfortunately there was no satisfactory result until ......

When Death Knell offered to call the war out, he confessed, "The person I wanted to save has been saved," and then turned away.

He didn't join up with his teammates because he was now the Vengeful Spirit, and Coulson told him through the communication system that Deathstroke had left after he left, and that it was likely that he was following him.

It's not possible, the death knell is indeed behind Rhaeggar. After leaving the Gotham Theater for some distance, Rhaegar stood in the same place and said "Come out, I know you're there" and "If you don't come out, you'll regret it", and then he really tricked the death knell out.

"You've finally come out." Looking at the death knell coming out of the shadows, Rhaegar took the initiative to speak, "I've been waiting for a long time. ”

"You're waiting for me? What's the matter, which one of you need your help this time? Deathbell was stunned for a moment, then said with a sneer.

Deathstroke admits that Rhaegar was a bit of a surprise to him. Originally, he was ready to tear off his face in front of the Gotham police and have a showdown with the 'Spirit of Vengeance'. Now that the other party is coming out like this, he wants to see the situation again.

Rhaegar chuckled, "I knew I wasn't going to fool you so easily, just as I knew you didn't use your full strength when you fought me before, and I knew you were going to come and show me down." I'm very sure of all of that. ”

Deathstroke raised his eyebrows without a trace, and then said lightly: "So you know everything, this is your superpower?" ”

"Of course, no. It's not my superpower, and I don't know everything. Rhaegar shook his head, "I know what I'm talking about, but I don't get into the details. I can only guess that if you wait for a showdown, let me join you Hydra again. But this time, instead of just talking, you're going to use more drastic tactics, such as letting go of your hands and feet and beating me down with all your might, forcing me to cooperate. By the way, I ask curiously, you don't chase the assassin leader but follow me, you are going to subdue me and let me help you deal with the assassin leader, and then you have to decide whether to kill me or not depending on the situation, right? ”

This time Knell's eyes, uh, one eye stared, and the gaze that shot at Rhaegar was sharper than ever.

"Looks like I'm right." Rhaegar smiled softly.

Now that Coulson is in place, as far as the brain tank is concerned, one can top the three of Skye, Fitz and Simmons. The above analysis, the words used to test the death knell, were made by Coulson and then processed by Rhaegar. More than that, Coulson, after meeting up with Skye and learning the whole story of Rhaeggar's appearance in front of Deathbell, quickly came up with a new, more plausible origin story for him, nay, the Vengeful Spirit.

"You can try it and see if you can convince me. Until then, though, I'm obligated to tell you the cause of your death shortly after. Rhaegar put on a confident look and said to Deathstroke, "You're right, I said before that I was wrong and pulled out my sword to help, but I did catch up with you when I smelled blood—not the Hydra agent in the basement who was badly injured by you earlier, but the one you killed earlier." So I now pronounce my sentence in the name of the Spirit of Vengeance, Knell, Slade Wilson, you are convicted of the murder of Regamalik, and you are hereby sentenced to death! ”
