"It's going to hurt a lot for the first time, so you have to be mentally prepared. Relax your body and mind as much as possible, don't think too much, and use your heart to appreciate what is about to pour into you...

It may be scorching hot, or it may be a spear as hard as steel piercing and tearing through your sense of touch.

You may bleed and scream.

But fear not.

This is all normal.

Once you get used to the strange thing in your body from another dimension, you will feel the pleasure of the power from your mind and body, and even enjoy and immerse yourself in it. ”

Zakang's voice reached Mason's ears, accompanied by a strangely smelling incense, causing Mason to frown as he sat in a freshly drawn six-pointed star circle.

He adjusted his breathing as Konstantin commanded, closed his eyes, and whispered again:

"Do you have to describe a mysterious ritual as so obscene? Don't think I don't know what you're hinting at, you filthy. ”

"Hahahaha"

The unscrupulous scumbag mage burst out laughing, and he said with a cigarette in his mouth:

"Yo, our little Mason still knows this? I magically determined that you were a chick when we first met, but you could understand my vulgar jokes.

Looks like you're not usually a good kid.

I'm just letting you relax a bit.

After all, we're dealing with the power of the evil gods, and if you're unlucky, the moment you feel that darkness, ten nearby blocks will be torn apart in an instant.

Tens of thousands of people will die because of one of your mistakes.

So, don't be under any psychological pressure. ”

As he sprinkled a cloud of yellow gritty powder on the circle beside Mason, he patted the young man on the shoulder and whispered to him:

"Even if you go to hell, tens of thousands of people will accompany you, and you can have a VIP supreme seat when you go down, and by the way, you will become a legendary figure in the nine-layer hell for hundreds of years.

I won't be lonely and there is so much pomp, I cry with envy. ”

"You'll have to review it."

Mason sneered while breathing steadily:

"Isn't it that when you should be working hard in bed, you talk a lot, and because your tongue is not flexible enough, Xiaozha swept you out of the house."

"This obscene complaint is good, give you nine points! Keep up the good work. But you can't have a lover in your life who is perfect in all aspects like Xiaozha, so you should be jealous of me.

I'll enjoy this sour envy. ”

Zakang snorted.

While sneering at each other, he took a step back and lit another silk card cigarette, this kind of enjoyment has obviously become a similar existence to a "spell casting medium" in Zakang's hands.

The moment he lit the cigarette, the khaki trench coat moved backwards without wind.

His hands were very twisted, not like a strange magic seal that a normal person could make, and when his hands touched, black flames ignited at the same time in six directions beside Mason.

Streams of crimson light burst out from the floor beneath the young man's seat, as if opening a spatial passage to another dimension.

And Mason, who was obviously sitting firmly on the ground, had a strange "sense of weightlessness", as if he was falling.

"Steady!"

Za Kang said sharply:

"The tattoo and curse on your arm are a location that allows you to sense the source of power in the multiverse, but don't approach it!

Don't even try to call it!

Otherwise this real world will be exposed to its eyes.

Now at my command, the first step is to raise your left hand and focus on the tattoo, which is a living creature that dwells on you, and it can feel your gaze and your emotions.

Tell it.

You need strength..."

The moment Mason followed Zakang's command and took the second step, his consciousness suddenly froze, and Zakang's voice was far away, as if it came from another world.

It felt like Mason's soul was frozen in a sea of stars with no concept of time.

He could see the stars shining in the sky and the darkness coexisting.

I can even see the magnificent nebula in the distance, as if the mysteries of the entire universe are presented in front of my eyes, but I regret that I am a scumbag and cannot taste these truths.

Mason didn't know if the scene in front of him represented some kind of manifestation of an alternate world and a multiverse, but he was sure it was definitely the source of the name "The Stars Society".

But after the first few seconds of shock, Mason's consciousness quickly surfaced with a hint of trepidation, and he wondered what if he couldn't go back. Do you want to wander forever in this unknown place?

Zakang's pit didn't tell himself that there would be this kind of process in the middle at first!

However, this panic came and went quickly, as if he sensed Mason's helplessness, and something familiar soon appeared in front of the young man's eyes.

A translucent curtain of light unfolded in his vision, and the familiar figure was listed by Caro.

Mason could even feel a "unhurried, light-hearted" temperament from the emergence of those words, as if the strange thing in front of him was nothing in front of his golden finger.

At this moment, the young man was also brought up with inexplicable confidence.

He didn't know who had put this miraculous thing into his soul, but he was sure that in the face of his own power, the evil gods that the Stars would believe in were nothing more than that!

"Detection of an external force access... The path of power is negative, the Hell Mythology System, the Devil Creature Branch, the highest level of the Fallen Godhead Derivative... The form of power access is: Grant/Strengthen.

The destructive power shift begins... New talents are generating.

The new talent on the mysterious side is unlocked as [Magic Fire].

Added skill [Craftsman: Fire Manipulation Lv0].

Added trait [Mystic: Can sense and manipulate magic and supernatural energy]. ”

This line of hints allowed Mason to quickly figure out the situation, and Zakon's spell was useful.

That scum is rarely reliable, but according to the hint of the character card, the power should be destructive, and it is his own ability that transforms it into a harmless enhancement mode.

So at the end of the day, Zakang is still an unreliable bastard.

At this time, Mason has no guilt at all for the fact that Lazakon joined the gang.

And a few seconds after the character card showed that the new talent had been unlocked, the young man clearly felt that the strange starry sky in front of him was beginning to reject him.

His consciousness was pushed back into his body.

At the same time, in some dimension of an unknown parallel world, a being felt a glimmer of his own power being invoked.

However, unlike the previous prayers, this time the power of one's own disappeared as soon as it left the body. It's as if swallowed by some invisible being, and he has lost control of that bit of power forever!

"Interesting..."

The being whispered, but only sent a message to his followers for them to check, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

It's just a glimmer of power, and if it's gone, it's gone.

Perhaps in the old days, this would have made you angry, but now is not the time to devote precious energy to such things.

At the same time, in a special plane between multiple parallel worlds, in a unique realm known as the "Star Castle".

Mr. Hunter, who had just finished the work at hand, uh, maybe Ms. Hunter was about to get up and move, when he suddenly felt a message from the soul level.

"A trace of the power of Your Excellency 'Destiny' has been stolen? Suspiciously through the 'curse' of the Stellar Society? It's a rare occurrence. ”

Miss Hunter's fingers moved, and then she addressed her two fellow swordsmen, "Swordsman" and "Warlock", in the Soul Link Newsletter:

"Let's go about our business, I'll investigate this incident."

With the consent of the other two Grand Instructors, Mr. Hunter returned to his "man" attire, wearing a mask and standing in front of the ornate old floor-to-ceiling window, her eyes shining with a suppressed light.

If the power of Lord Destiny can be stolen... Does that mean that you and your companions can also get rid of it completely...

No!

Can't think any further!

Mr. Hunter forced a halt to the thought with great willpower, and she let out a sigh of relief, flicking her fingers with the black hunter's gloves.

An old card jumps into your hand.

She stroked the man on the card who was long dead but forever alive in her heart.

There was a hidden symbol in the bottom corner of the card, just like the king at the bottom of the old King's Gwent card, except that Mr. Hunter's card had a black "Q" on the edge.

"Old K, you wretched wretched wretch, may you be in peace. Hunters who don't want to be hounds can't stop... It's time to start again. ”

A few minutes later, Gotham City's Crime Alley.

"Whew!"

Mason breathed like a rescued drowning man, and he felt like he was about to suffocate, gasping for breath while looking around blankly.

The slag kang in front of him stepped forward to monitor Mason's condition with a smile, and he said very irresponsibly:

"You're still alive, you're still conscious, and you've not been invaded by the evil god in reverse, cool! My spell actually succeeded, and the success rate was less than 15%, and rounding up was no different from suicide.

You're in luck, Mason. ”

", you unprofessional fellow, that's not some evil god! That's a devil! A devil with a godhead! ”

Mason angrily pushed Zakang away and scolded.

When he heard the word "Godhead", he was instantly struck by lightning, he shook his body and looked left and right, and then threw himself into Mason's counter and rummaged wildly.

The young man felt dazed and stood up.

Every breath he took seemed to be inhaling scorching smoke and making his throat very uncomfortable, he grabbed a glass of water and poured it down, and shouted at Zakang again.

"What are you crazy about?"

"Time machine! I'm looking for a time machine! Just like those hilarious Japanese anime, you must have a time machine in your cabinet that can travel back in time, right? ”

Zakang screamed:

"Hurry up and let me go back an hour ago, no, back three days! I'm going to kick that hellish succubus back into the toilet bowl and hold my little succubus for seven days and seven nights!

Damn it!

I shouldn't have come to Gotham!

You bastard, do you know what it means to be a devil with a godhead?

The entire Nine Layers of Hell plus the entire Heavenly Mountain, the godhead guy can't make up as much as one slap! How could you mess with such a terrible existence!

No, how could I, who have always been wise and self-protective, get into such trouble? ”

"Because I'm generous enough?"

Mason said coldly:

"Or is it because you're greedy enough?"

"I have no grievances with you! Mason, but your generosity is killing me! ”

Za Kang didn't even have the heart to say strange things.

He glared at Mason fiercely, waved his hand sadly, drew a portal with the cigarette butt, took his harvest, and jumped in with a whoosh like dodging the plague god, and disappeared.

Before the green portal disappeared, Zakang also stretched out his left hand and made an unseemly gesture towards Mason to say goodbye.

Bye bye.

Let's not see each other again in this life, okay?

Seeing Zakang leave, Mason didn't say anything to stay.

A friendship ended like this, but he can be sure that his "bad relationship" with Zakang has just begun.

However, he now felt that the heat in his body was becoming more and more obvious, and he was faintly uncontrollable, and he picked up the water cup and planned to take another sip, but the hot air from his nostrils directly ignited the paper cup in his hand.

No!

Not sparks erupting from nostrils, but fingers.

Mason's eyes widened and he raised his left hand, and a clump of suppressed flames was rising from between his fingers, looking terrible, but his skin was not scorched, but only felt slightly hot.

The young man panicked for a few seconds, constantly shaking his hand in an attempt to extinguish it.

But he soon discovered that he could manipulate the flames, and although he was not very skilled, he could do control the strength and shape of the flames burning in the palm of his hand.

"Is this the 'Demon Fire'?"

Mason let the flames drift around his five fingers as if he had found a new toy, and he stared at the flames, tilting his head and thinking:

"But what's the use? You can't launch it and pretend to be a high-ranking member of the 'Five Fireball Divine Sect', do you want to burn people with your palms?

Or is there some special usage that you haven't found? ”

With this in mind, the young man turned his head to look at it, and picked up a tailor's iron ruler placed on the counter and held it in his hand, and the flames were burning and quickly bent and even melted.

Mason raised an eyebrow, and he began to purposefully control the temperature and direction of the flames.

A minute later, under the surprised gaze of the young man, the thin iron ruler was successfully "reshaped" by him into a postmodern steel "work of art" that the ghost knew what it was.

"Hah! Sure enough, it's 'Craftsman Flame Manipulation'! ”

Mason laughed and raised his left hand, and he said:

"Now that even the forging furnace is saved, and the forging branch that has been a headache can finally be put on the agenda, and I know that this power of rebirth is destined for me to become a versatile craftsman!

Very good!

That's what you want, I don't like to fight and kill anyway.

It's too violent.

Not elegant at all. ”

---

Half an hour later, Mason, who was exhausted from playing with fire, returned to the balcony of Old K's magical apartment through the telescopic escalator that he had just packed in his suitcase.

When he landed on the ground and looked back, he saw Catwoman wearing a sunglasses, wearing Chanel's latest bikini this year, lying on the balcony "basking in the sun", and holding a fashion magazine in her hand.

When Mason fell, the big sister's left leg was raised and placed on top of her right leg, and she changed to a side-lying position to say hello.

Mason pouted, this eldest sister is really formalistic!

What are the conditions now?

Do you want to make a fool of yourself and make a beach resort?

He took out his bat phone and switched to photo mode, snuggled his chin at Catwoman, and said:

"Selena-sama, please have a Pose that will make a man's eyes shine!"

"Are you crazy?"

The big sister who was lying on the beach chair pushed her sunglasses down and said to Mason with squinted eyes:

"Or are you going to tease your sister? I said, I can give you a hand. ”

"No, I really just need a picture."

Holding up his phone, Mason explained:

"I'm going to invite a scumbag to our party tomorrow night, but the only way to get him to come over willingly without any suspicion is to show your supreme charm as a 'special attack on men'.

So, do you help? ”

"Oh, party, I like it. But do I have to make sure that the party you're going to have is one of those hot negative distance intimate parties with a lot of men and women?

After all, my sister is a person who has a boyfriend.

You have to understand, I can't play that crazy. ”

Catwoman blinked, shifted to a different position on the beach chair, leaned down and lifted her upper body, her legs interlaced like a black cat and glanced back, with a faint smile on her face.

That moment of charm made Mason subconsciously cough twice.

Damn it!

reacted...

This old aunt is really terrible.

It's no wonder that the cold and steely lord is fascinated by her, and everyone generally only uses two words to describe this kind of woman: goblin!

"That's it!"

Mason didn't even need to retouch the picture, just saved the photo and planned to fish with it tomorrow, and Catwoman was also lazy again in the next moment, she picked up the magazine in her hand and read it casually, while saying:

"So, when will I show my sister the world? Look, I'm almost sick. ”

"Didn't you say that?"

Mason coughed and said:

"Tomorrow night, eldest sister, of course this party is a ceremony to welcome newcomers to the team. Tomorrow night we'll leave the boring Gotham for a ride in the New World, and I'll promise it'll be a place for the runaway cats to play. ”
