Augustus, who had been chased all over the world by the 'Death Ray', now had a hideous expression, gritted his teeth, his temples fluttered, and his muscles were already popping out.

Now he knows he's been fooled.

was pitted very badly by Azu.

That's right.

Azu did trap him once.

After summoning a large number of undead, the entire Kandaq City was basically under Azu's surveillance, so every move of Black Adam and the others was watched by Azu.

Through the Black Adam line, Azu finally found his competitor Augustus. Hodge, however, he had scanned Augustus' apartment and found no 'Crown of Shabak' there.

So Azu guessed that Augustus was fighting psychological warfare with him, and this guy must have hidden the 'Crown of Shabak' elsewhere, and as for where that place was, Azu really couldn't guess.

It doesn't matter if you can't guess, Augustus can hide the 'Crown of Shabak', and Azu can naturally fish it out.

How to fish, of course, is to use 'Transfiguration' to turn any item into a 'Crown of Shabak', and then deliberately fly under the nose of Augustus.

With the importance of the 'Crown of Shabak', Azu was sure that Augustus would not be able to resist checking the crown.

As he predicted, Augustus couldn't help but check the crown, and in this way, he was undoubtedly showing Azu the way.

When Azu discovers that the 'Crown of Shabak' is hidden in the head of the defender's statue, he immediately attacks, and his attack is a divine skill.

But not 'sanctions of destruction', but 'rays of death'.

He used Natas's 'authority of death', and from the very beginning, he used this authority, thus giving Augustus the illusion that his authority was related to 'death'.

In this way, in the next confrontation, at the critical moment, when all of Augustus's tactics are aimed at the 'death' authority, Azu will be able to get the effect of surprise if he takes out the 'destruction' authority.

Using the 'Death Vision', under the influence of the talent's 'Absolute Hit', those two pale fire streams containing the breath of death weave a complex trajectory in the night sky at this moment.

They were like tactical missiles locked onto their targets, chasing Augustus, forcing him to be unable to move the 'crown of Shabak'.

At this time, Azu's replica cut open the head of the defender statue, exposing the 'Crown of Shabak', and at the same time, Augustus also activated his parasites, so that all the parasites with the genes of the 'fatherland' were rushed.

"Stop him!"

"Gotta stop him!"

Augustus roared, he categorically could not accept this result, God knows how much effort he had to spend in order to win this confrontation.

In the end, he was easily cut off by Azu, where could he accept such an ending.

Even if Ismail wins the crown and succeeds in turning into the demon Shabak, he may not be able to win against Black Adam.

But that would be too much of a variable, and killing Ismail, or making it impossible for the other party to get the crown, would be the best way to win this confrontation.

Right now.

This optimal solution is already in tatters, but there is still a chance to remedy it.

"Are you thinking about grabbing the crown with crowd tactics?"

Azu's voice rang out.

While dodging the 'Death Ray', Augustus looked towards Azu.

saw the latter smile and said: "It's a pity that my side is also a crowd tactic." ”

"Oh."

"Wrong."

"It's supposed to be the 'Sea of the Dead'."

Augustus's face changed, and then he felt a chill in his back, and behind him, a pale figure appeared.

It was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in clothes of unknown era, pale and dark around her eyes, lying on Augustus's back.

Not only Augustus, but at this time, in the entire city of Kandak, the undead who were summoned by Azu with the [Dark Divine Book] before all appeared.

A large number of undead spirits flew in the night sky, these dead men, women and children, large and small.

Some of them are dressed in modern clothes, while others are dressed in ancient cloth robes.

Undead spirits from different eras, they let out silent cries and are under the control of the Dark Divine Book, subject to the domination of Azu.

They flew into Augustus' parasite, clinging to it, slowing the parasite's movements.

Or they burrowed into the bodies of the parasites and forcibly took over them, leaving some of them out of Augustus' grasp, pounced on their companions, and killed each other.

Suddenly.

Augustus' parasitic army was in disarray and unable to effectively intercept Azu's clones, giving them the chance to take the 'Crown of Shabak'.

"No!"

"No!"

Augustus watched as the clone took the crown and was injured, ignoring Azu's 'death ray' and rushing towards the clone with all his might.

But at this time, between Augustus and the clone, there was suddenly an illusory huge face.

The face looked to be that of a middle-aged man, pale and rotten in some places, and the gums inside could be seen.

As soon as it appeared, the stench of dead fish wafted through the air.

When it opened its mouth, a cyan tongue rolled out and spread out in the air like a cyan carpet.

Looking through its mouth, Augustus saw not the esophagus of a living being, but the light and shadow of another world.

It was a pale world, a world of death.

Augustus had a faint glimpse of huge sinkholes, all sorts of white strange buildings, and the spirits of the undead flying all over the sky.

It's as if the back of that mouth leads straight to the netherworld!

This is the 'Springboard to the Underworld', a skill that can use the dimension of the 'Underworld' as a springboard to instantly transfer to other places.

Now Azu is using this skill to block Augustus, if he insists on going forward, he will plunge into the underworld, and at that time, Azu doesn't mind closing the passage and letting his 'brother' stay in the underworld forever.

Obviously, Augustus did not want to 'die young', he stopped in time in front of the giant face, and then walked around it.

As he moved, the two dead fish eyes on the pale, rotting face followed him, but thankfully they didn't make any other moves.

But when Augustus bypassed the giant face, he saw a hovering car of the International Gang moving away at high speed, and from time to time using the power of 'Eternal Metal' to move at super high speed.

So Augustus had only had time to look at it, and the car was out of sight.

Augustus wanted to chase after him, but when the 'Death Ray' arrived, he could only turn around, his eyes glowing with a golden light, and then two beams of light burst out of his pupils, frozen in mid-air with the pale stream of fire.

His rays had been upgraded, but they were never divine skills, so at the touch of a button, two golden rays of light started from the front end, dyed gray, disintegrated by the 'death ray', and quickly collapsed 'dead'.

In the next second, the 'death ray' hit Augustus, and his whole body burned with pale 'flames', but in the fire of death, Augustus's eyes suddenly lost their brilliance, and then his back cracked, and another Augustus broke away from his previous body like a 'golden cicada out of its shell'.

Soon, the previous 'Augustus' was attacked by the power of 'death' and died in the blink of an eye.

Azu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at this newborn 'Augustus', unable to figure out how the other party did it.

However, it is certain that his brother has not developed the 'Absolute Realm', otherwise, the 'Death Ray' would not be so easy to achieve.

Azu guessed correctly, Augustus just upgraded the 'radium ray' to the 'heat ray' and developed the 'biological force field', and didn't go any further.

He instead invested his resources in the spore talent he later acquired, and successfully harvested the 'breeding' authority, thus combining divine skills such as 'Parasitic Spore' and 'Replica Spore' with his spore talent, as well as derivative skills.

Just now.

His 'Golden Cicada Shelling' is also an authority derivative skill, using 'breeding' to instantly create a stand-in for himself, and use this stand-in to replace himself with various injuries or curses, so as to get a chance to 'rebirth'.

After the rebirth, Augustus didn't plan to entangle with Azu at all, and turned around to leave, but suddenly his body shook.

It turned around and found that at some point, a series of towering and continuous bone walls had risen around Kandak City.

The huge and tall wall was actually made of countless skeletons, and even the skeletons that made up the wall were still moving from time to time.

Such a scene is almost as if the underworld has entered reality.

Augustus tried to scan what was behind the bone wall, only to find that his vision could not penetrate it.

Wall of Sighs!

A derivative of Death Authority, which, when raised, is difficult to break through from the inside and isolates the inner and outer spaces, making it impossible for opponents to use teleported abilities or items.

"Looks like you're going to have to stay here and play with me a little longer."

Azu's subtext is: Just play with me until Ismail succeeds in becoming the demon Shabak.

Outside of Kandak, the base of the International Gang Mine.

Ismail stood in the parking lot, anxious.

"Mr. John told me to wait here for good news, and I don't know if he got the crown."

"If I get the crown, I can gain the power of the demon Shabak."

"At that point, I'll be invincible."

He rubbed his hands together excitedly: "My grandfather once told me that death is the way to life. ”

"It's the opposite of the inscription on the 'Crown of Shabak'."

"And how many people know that if you want to gain the power of demons, you need to give your life first."

"A lot of people have probably forgotten by now that in the mythology of Kandak, cursed souls are sent to the Finishing Stone."

"Wearing the crown of Shabak and dying, my soul will be cursed to go to the deepest depths of hell."

"I will gain the power to rule reality there!"

Just then, Ismail heard a soft cry, and when he looked up, he saw a hovering car falling to the ground.

The rider on the speeding car held a box and quickly ran in front of Ismail.

"Sir, this is what Mr. John asked me to get back."

Ismail couldn't wait to take it, opened the box, and saw a crown lying inside.

Crown of Shabak!

Bang.

A bolt of lightning struck from the dark sky, reflecting Ismail's slender figure.

"Finally."

"Finally."

"After all these years, the Crown of Shabak is back in the hands of my family!"

Ismail held the crown high and laughed.

A moment later.

He picked up the crown, put it on his head, and walked briskly to his office.

"Don't let anyone in."

After giving this command to a few super soldiers, Ismail walked into the office, sat down at his desk, and took out a pistol from a drawer.

Ismail picked up the pistol with a solemn expression: "I did it." ”

"Now it's just one last step."

"Give my life, death is the beginning of a new life, and I will gain the power of Shabak to rule the world and fulfill the wish of King Adunk!"

"Ismail, there's nothing to hesitate about."

"That's right."

"Just do it!"

He took a deep breath and pressed his pistol to his chin, his fingers pressing down the trigger.

Outside the office door, several super soldiers suddenly heard the sound of gunshots and couldn't help but look at each other.

A big man tries to walk into the office, but is stopped by Rena.

"Have you forgotten what Mr. Ismail said?"

The big man stopped, and went back to where he was.

Kandak City.

Doctor Fate, who was fighting with his own replica, suddenly shook his whole body and fell into a state similar to a hallucination.

He saw the city of Kandak at dusk, the raging flames that suddenly erupted from the ruins of the palace, the whole city in flames, and countless infernal spirits crawling out of the scorched earth.

He sees Hawkman confronting a demon and is eventually killed by that demon.

Doctor Destiny shuddered again, and the hallucinations vanished.

Noticing his old friend's anomaly, Hawkman forced his clone back and shouted, "Kent, are you alright?" ”

"I'm fine"

"But, I foresee a bad future." Doctor Fate looked at Hawkman.

Hawkman seemed to sense something, and said in a deep voice, "How bad. ”

"It's bad, the world will be burned by fire, and the dead of hell will return from the scorched earth."

"And you"

"You"

Hawkman laughed, "Am I going to die?" ”

Doctor Fate nodded heavily.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of death."

Hawkman uses a mace to knock back his replica once again.

Doctor Fate also used magic to control the clone's clone, and then said.

"Nope."

"The world needs the Justice Society, and the Justice Society needs you."

"We've got to find a way to circumvent that future, and we can do it."

At this time, Hawkman looked into the distance, at the towering wall of bones that blocked Kandak: "Do you really think that we will have a way?" ”

"My friend, promise me that if I can't change it, don't force it to change my fate."

Hawkman looked at Doctor Fate, "If anyone is injured or even killed because of me." ”

"In that case, even if I survive, I won't be happy."

With that, he rushed to his clone.

Doctor Fate said softly, "Carter, it doesn't matter if we're happy or not, what matters is that the Justice Society needs you." ”

"Whirlwind, Atom Smasher, these young men need your direction."

"Even if you're unhappy, or even resentful, I've got to let you survive no matter what."

"Only if you live, the Justice Society will have a future."

"Only then will someone practice our 'justice'!" (End of chapter)
