Chapter 425: Sleep or Sleep with You, Choose!
What was this?
Burning the bridge after crossing the river?
Constantine looked at Su Sheng, who was acting completely natural, and felt an inexpressible depressed. "I asked you to help protect Liv, not to sleep with Liv!"
"Old friend, don't blame me. I couldn't stop Su Sheng. If you have the ability, go bother him yourself." Constantine lit a cigarette, watched Su Sheng lead Livinto the apartment, said helplessly, and then turned and drove away. As for whether he really couldn't stop him? Heh heh, he didn't try to stop him at all. He was only protecting Liv's safety; as long as she was alive, that was enough.
He wasn't confident he could protect Liv. If she died, she'd have nothing. Compared to that, being slept with by Su Sheng wasn't really anything, at least that's what Constantine thought. Who made him such a scoundrel? His one-night stands were countless!
At the apartment door.
Liv took out her key, opened the door, and entered, looking somewhat timidly at Su Sheng, who was looking around.
"Bang!" Su Sheng casually closed the door and smiled. "The rent isn't cheap, is it?"
"Mm." Liv responded, then hesitated, saying, "I… I'm very grateful you helped me just now, so I didn't call the police. But… you can't… you can't do this."
"Do what?" Su Sheng walked in front of Liv, hooked his arm around her waist, and with his other hand, directly tore open her work shirt.
A ripping sound echoed, and several buttons fell to the floor.
"If you do this, I… I'm really going to call the police."
"You came back in my car, and you opened the door and invited me in. Call the police? Accuse me of what?" Su Sheng smirked, his hands moving up and down. In an instant, little Liv was completely undressed by Su Sheng. He watched her huddle on the sofa, then took out her phone from her bag and threw it to her.
"I'm going to take a shower. If you haven't called the police when I come out, you'll sleep with me. I didn't sleep well last night. Also…" Su Sheng paused and smiled. "I meant it when I said you're in trouble. Think about what just happened."
With that, Su Sheng went to the bathroom.
Listening to the sound of running water, Liv held the phone, hesitating for a long time, unsure whether to call or not. If she didn't call? What would happen next was obvious. Liv didn't want to sleep with a stranger so haphazardly. But if she did call? It might be hard to explain to the police. She couldn't explain how she got in his car and then opened the door to let him in. Moreover, she had just called the police, and when they arrived, she hadn't mentioned Su Sheng, even thanking him for saving her. And then… then call the police again to say he was going to violate her? Would the police believe her?
Recalling what happened at the company just now, the inexplicably out-of-control car, the resurrected corpse, and those eyes staring at her, all made Liv inexplicably terrified. "Is it coming for me? He also said I'm in trouble, but why? I… I'm just an ordinary person, how could I be in trouble? And this kind of trouble?"
Hesitation, struggle.
Liv held the phone, so caught up in her dilemma that she forgot the time. It wasn't until Su Sheng finished his shower and came out that she suddenly realized she had been thinking for so long.
"Didn't call? Then let's sleep." Su Sheng walked over, glanced at her, and directly pulled Liv into the bedroom.
Bang!
Liv was somewhat roughly thrown onto the bed and instinctively wanted to struggle to get up, but Su Shengdirectly lay down and hugged her. "Either sleep, or I sleep with you, which do you choose?"
Liv was so scared she instantly quieted down.
"Looks like you chose to sleep." Su Sheng chuckled, then just hugged Liv, preparing to sleep.
Although he hadn't driven last night, and the car was big and comfortable enough, it certainly wasn't as comfortable as lying in bed, hugging someone. And, little Liv wasn't bad either. When she sprayed the pepper spray earlier, Su Sheng had Copied her ability!
Yes, she had an ability.
She wasn't just Constantine's old friend's daughter, nor was she just a girl who needed protection and was targeted by the demons below.
Her ability was similar to a spiritual perception; simply put, she could see ghosts and the situation in the so-called underworld. This might be inherited from her father? After all, someone who could be Constantine's friend and constantly mingle with ghosts and demons certainly wasn't an ordinary person. However, Liv didn't know this and hadn't trained, so even though she had the ability, she didn't know it herself, nor did she have the opportunity to activate it.
Sleep?
Liv couldn't sleep.
Not to mention she had just woken up and was preparing for work, simply lying naked with a stranger like this, she couldn't sleep. As a young woman living independently, working hard to repay student loans, dating? Finding a man? These things didn't exist for her!
Nervous, stiff.
Liv, hugged from behind by Su Sheng, couldn't even move, let alone breathe loudly. His hands were in front of her, and they were pressed close together, slightly warm, even a bit too much! Unable to move and unable to sleep, Liv listened to the slightly warm, steady breathing behind her and gradually started to overthink.
Mainly, she was thinking about what kind of trouble she would have and why she would have trouble.
And this person, she still didn't seem to know his name? At first, he said he was going to violate her, but then he helped her block the car that crashed in. He didn't seem very panicked when he saw the bizarre situation of the dead coming back to life, as if he had known it would happen. The whole thing was inexplicably strange!
Su Sheng slept very comfortably. Indeed, sleeping while hugging a pillow and smelling the fragrance of a young girl made him sleep more soundly. He didn't know how long he slept, but when Su Sheng woke up, he found that little Liv in his arms had also fallen asleep. He raised his wrist to check the time; it was past twelve noon, he had slept for a whole morning!
"Slap!"
Su Sheng raised his hand and slapped Liv's little bottom. The sound was incredibly crisp. Liv, in her sleep, grunted in pain and instantly woke up.
"I'm hungry, go get me something to eat!" Su Shengsaid.
"Why should I!" Liv subconsciously retorted. She had just woken up, so she probably had a bit of morning grumpiness?
Su Sheng chuckled, his fingers gently plucking a string. "Why? Are you sure you want to ask that?"
"Uh-huh." Liv shivered slightly, seemingly waking up. "I… I'll go get you something to eat."
With that, Liv hurriedly got up and left the bedroom. In the living room, she found her usual casual clothes, put them on, opened the refrigerator, and started making food!
Chapter 426: Ghost Eye and Policewoman Angela
After Su Sheng and Liv ate what could be considered either breakfast or lunch, Constantine arrived.
Accompanying him was a very burly middle-aged man.
"This is Chas." Constantine introduced him.
Chas didn't seem to talk much. After exchanging greetings, he quietly stayed to the side, almost unnoticeable.
"Have you encountered any trouble?" Constantine asked Su Sheng.
Su Sheng shook his head.
Constantine said in a deep voice, "I've already found out who the guy is. It's a demon from below called the Leopard Chameleon, capable of controlling lightning and storms. Pack up; I'm taking you somewhere."
"Where… where are we going?" Liv subconsciously asked.
Constantine thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm good friends with your father. I was entrusted by him to protect you. Uh… Su Sheng is someone I specifically asked to protect you. With him, you don't need to worry. I'll take you to one of your father's old secret safe houses. Once I deal with the Leopard Chameleon, you'll be safe."
"My father died when I was little." Liv said in a low voice.
The implication was, how could you be friends with him? And have him ask you to protect me so many years later? Impossible!
"No, in fact, your father only died last year." Constantineshook his head and briefly explained the situation, including Liv's father's identity, abilities, and cause of death.
Liv had actually guessed that things were unusual. It wasn't until Constantine finished speaking that she realized there really were ghosts and demons in this world? And her father was actually a sorcerer or exorcist? Liv fell silent. Although it was somewhat absurd, she had experienced a dead body sitting up, so it wasn't entirely impossible to accept. It was just… what she couldn't accept was that if her father had only died last year, why had he never visited her, never shown himself before? Her mother had even lied to her, saying her father had died long ago.
"I… I want to go out for a bit." Liv looked at Su Sheng.
Go ask your mother?" Su Sheng asked.
Liv paused, then nodded.
"Alright, I'll take you." Su Sheng turned to Constantineand said, "Tell me the location, and… give me the thing."
Constantine looked at him blankly for a moment before reacting, then looked at Su Sheng in surprise and took a small cloth bag from his pocket. "Inside is a pendant, a relic your father left for you."
Liv took it without opening it and said thank you.
Splitting into two groups, Constantine and Chasreturned to the safe house first, while Su Sheng took Livto her mother's house.
After arriving, Liv got out of the car. Su Sheng didn't follow her in. About twenty minutes later, Liv came out looking flustered.
Bang!
After getting in the car, her chest heaved, and she looked at the pendant in her hand, appearing still shaken. A moment later, she looked up at Su Sheng. "Constantine said that Leopard Chameleon, if he's dealt with, will I be safe?"
"Theoretically, yes," Su Sheng said.
"Theoretically?"
"In this world, no one is truly safe. There will always be different accidents, different situations. If you want true safety, I can arrange a place for you to live a completely different new life," Su Sheng said with a smile.
"Where?"
"The Back Garden." Su Sheng smiled and started the car, heading to the safe house. Liv remained silent and didn't press the matter.
Upon arriving at the Mystery House, they took a quick tour. It was quite special; though it looked small, it actually contained a hidden dimension. Constantine had already figured out a way to deal with the Leopard Chameleon and asked Su Sheng to temporarily look after Liv here. Su Sheng didn't mind, but Liv insisted on going with them. In helplessness, Constantine could only agree.
It was already evening when they returned to the city. Constantine found a rooftop to draw a magic circle as a trap, using Liv as bait. At the same time, he had Chasfind a way to get into the power station to cut the power at the crucial moment to weaken the Leopard Chameleon's abilities. As for Su Sheng? He was waiting in the alley downstairs from the rooftop.
He had no interest in dealing with a minor demon like the Leopard Chameleon. His interest was in angels, ghost hosts, and incidentally, ensuring Liv's safety.
Although he was far away, he could arrive in the blink of an eye, so there was nothing to worry about.
In the dim alley, Su Sheng leaned against the car and used Liv's ability. Normally, it would be difficult to cast without a magical artifact, but Su Sheng, with his abilities multiplied several times, naturally released it. In an instant, the world around him seemed to change, gaining a layer of gloomy aura. A few people were flowing not far away, their faces pale and their bodies light.
"Ghosts?" Su Sheng curled his lips into a slight smile. This was what it meant to see ghosts, right?
Although Su Sheng was already quite familiar with Death, this was his first time seeing the underworld and ghosts, which felt quite novel. "Oh? This one looks good. The figure is decent, and the appearance is quite proper, and there's no ghostly feeling. Did she just die?"
Su Sheng chuckled, but the other party had already arrived in front of him.
She reached for her waist, pulled out a gun, and raised it.
"Don't move, I need to check your ID!" Angela said sternly, holding up her gun.
Su Sheng was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "Looks like I was mistaken. This is a person, and a police officer at that."
"May I ask why you want to see my ID?" Su Shengasked with a smile, not at all bothered by the gun in the other party's hand.
Angela showed the badge clipped to her waist and again said sternly, "Show me your ID, your driver's license, vehicle registration…"
Su Sheng looked at the Hummer beside him and laughed wryly, "I get it. You wouldn't happen to think I'm stealing a car, would you? Is there something wrong with my attire? Why do you think I can't afford a Hummer? Or, do you think I'm Asian, so you're discriminating against me?"
"I'm not discriminating against you or anyone. I need your ID, otherwise I…"
Before Angela could finish speaking, she heard a loud crack. A bright bolt of lightning descended from the sky and disappeared on the rooftop.
"They're here," Su Sheng said, looking up.
…
PS: The plot of the TV series Constantine and the movie Hellblazer are mixed together. In the movie, the search for the Spear of Destiny happens to align with the main plot of Legends of Tomorrow Season 2.
Chapter 427: Kill an Angel, Become an Angel!
Angela was startled by the sudden lightning, her shoulders shrinking sharply as she turned to look. Under the dim night sky, thunder and lightning flickered on the rooftop, lingering.
"What's going on?" Angela asked Su Sheng sternly.
Su Sheng smiled, just about to speak, when he suddenly turned sharply to look at the opposite rooftop. Under the moonlight, a somewhat blurry shadow faintly appeared. A special force field seemed to blur his figure, only vaguely showing the shadow of a pair of large wings behind him.
"An angel!"
Such obvious wing shapes clearly indicated an angel. If he remembered correctly, Constantine did know angels. In the TV series, he knew a black angel named Manny, whose stance was very mysterious; on one hand, he helped Constantine, but on the other, he was the leader of the Lich Group, Constantine's opponent. However, he was indeed a genuine angel. And in the movie, Constantine was even more impressive, knowing even the Archangel Gabriel.
Speaking of the movie, Su Sheng suddenly looked down at the female police officer in front of him.
"What's your name?" he suddenly asked.
Angela subconsciously replied, "Angela. You still haven't answered my question. What's happening up there?"
As she spoke, Angela raised her gun again.
"Angela, it really is her." Su Sheng smiled. "Want to know about your sister?"
"What do you mean? What do you know?!" Angelainstantly pressed the gun to Su Sheng's forehead, demanding excitedly.
Su Sheng looked at the dark muzzle, then at the agitated Angela, and suddenly smiled. Black Speed Force flickered in his eyes, and the entire world seemed to stand still. The next moment, Su Sheng suddenly darted to the adjacent rooftop and charged towards the angel. The angel was originally observing Constantine's situation, but he sensed Su Sheng when he charged over. Turning, a hint of surprise seemed to appear on his dark face, as if astonished that Su Sheng could see him and was even charging at him.
"Heh."
The angel Manny chuckled lightly, and his thought moved slightly.
World stopped!
It wasn't that the Speed Force was so fast that it felt like the world stopped, but that it truly brought the world to a halt.
Su Sheng was motionless, having just arrived on the rooftop.
The angel Manny leisurely and elegantly walked towards Su Sheng, arriving in front of him, and chuckled softly at the motionless Su Sheng. "I know you. Constantine was right to seek your help; among humans, you're quite good. However, it's best not to get involved in things you shouldn't know." As he finished speaking, the angel Manny directly activated his ability, intending to erase Su Sheng's memory.
"Huh?"
Just as the thought was activated, the angel Mannysuddenly discovered that Su Sheng's eyes actually moved, and his lips even slowly curled into a mocking smile.
How was this possible?
Unless an angel wanted the other party to know, no one should be able to escape the influence of this world-stopping ability, and… the angel Manny also felt that his attempt to erase his memory had failed, as if a similar energy was blocking him.
"Bang!"
Before the angel Manny could react, he was hit hard in the face.
He got hit?
He actually got hit?
The Angel Manny steadied his body in astonishment, spread his wings, and looked furiously at Su Sheng. He, a dignified Angel, had actually been struck by a human? This anger instantly brought him before Su Sheng, and a powerful surge of telekinesis roared out, pressing down on Su Sheng.
An Angel, after all.
His fighting style naturally wasn't ordinary fist and foot techniques; as the telekinesis surged, Su Sheng's lips curled into a slight smile.
"I can do that too!"
The Angel Manny's ability had already been Copied. The next moment, Su Sheng directly doubled it and struck back. The collision of the two invisible forces instantly made the Angel Manny stumble back several steps.
"You, you're an Angel too?" The Angel Manny was greatly alarmed, but Su Sheng zipped in front of him and gently tapped his finger on Manny's head.
"Bang!"
"Game over!"
At that instant, the Angel Manny suddenly felt the invasion of Death. Death? Angels almost had no concept of Death, but now he truly felt it; it was an irresistible Death.
"What did you do, no... no..."
The Angel Manny only managed to shout a few times before his body exploded with a bang.
The explosion didn't produce any impact but vanished into thin air at that moment. The Angel Manny also disappeared, completely and utterly gone from this world.
The Black Death Emperor is one of the laws of Death; the ability to cause instant Death upon contact seemed to have hardly been used, but it turned out to be so effective on an Angel.
Dead.
The Angel Manny died so inexplicably. If Manny could still know, he would definitely not understand why this happened? Why would he, a dignified Angel, a supreme existence, die upon a mere touch, dying such an unjust Death!
Whoosh!
Su Sheng turned and came before Angela below. Seeing Angela still frozen, Su Sheng placed his head against the muzzle of the gun, restoring the world to normal.
"Speak, how do you know about my sister, you..." Angela's words were cut short when she saw Su Shengsmile faintly, then his shoulders suddenly vibrated. In an instant... a pair of pure white wings appeared behind him, and at the same time, a radiant glow from Su Sheng illuminated the originally dim alley, making it exceptionally bright.
Clatter!
The gun in Angela's hand dropped to the ground. She subconsciously took a few steps back, looking at Su Sheng in disbelief, especially the wings behind him.
"An, an Angel?"
"You're an Angel!"
"This is impossible, I don't believe it, I don't believe any of this, it's not scientific, Angels cannot exist in this world. If, if there really are Angels, why is there still so much suffering in the human world?" Angela was clearly frightened, or rather, shocked, by the fact that Su Sheng was an Angel. As an atheist, she didn't believe in Angels, God, or similar things.
But, she had seen it with her own eyes.
The conflict of two beliefs made Angela somewhat lose control.
"Boom!"
Just as Angela was still struggling to accept it, another loud bang sounded. The next moment, all the surrounding lights simultaneously went out. Darkness suddenly descended, as if devouring the entire city.
... ...
PS: This Angel Manny is the black Angel who was with Constantine in the first season.
Chapter 428: Angel Su Sheng!
The sudden darkness startled Angela, and she subconsciously moved closer to Su Sheng. Although she hadn't yet accepted the existence of Angels in this world, her subconscious still drew her closer to Su Sheng, who had spread his wings and was emitting a holy glow. Seeing her action, Su Sheng chuckled inwardly, then his gaze penetrated the obstruction and saw the situation on the rooftop!
On the rooftop, Liv stood nervously behind Constantine.
On the ground in front, there was a slowly burning Solomon magic circle. This magic circle was improved by Constantine himself, and the effect seemed quite good. At this moment, a person who looked exactly like Constantine was showing a pained expression within the Solomon magic circle. This was the Leopard Chameleon, a type of demon from hell.
He could transform into others to deceive them.
"Give Nigel a message for me, tell him I'll come find him. Now, get back to your hell!" Constantine shouted, reciting a spell. As he chanted those incomprehensible incantations, the slowly burning Solomon magic circle on the ground lit up with dazzling light. Amidst the Leopard Chameleon's painful and unwilling roars, the light instantly dimmed, the flames extinguished, and the Leopard Chameleon also disappeared.
Constantine took a deep breath, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. Soon after, the entire city's power was restored, and it lit up again.
"Done!"
Constantine and Liv walked down from the rooftop to the alley to meet Su Sheng. Constantine greeted Su Sheng, then looked at the Humvee with a strange expression.
A woman.
A woman who looked somewhat shaken was sitting in the passenger seat.
Constantine looked at Liv and quietly gave Su Sheng a thumbs-up.
"The trouble has been resolved. Thank you for your help this time," Constantine said.
So far, the only one causing trouble for Liv was this Leopard Chameleon. Now that he had been driven back to hell, he shouldn't cause trouble again in the short term. Furthermore, Constantine didn't think Su Shengwould protect Liv indefinitely, so he basically felt that this matter should come to an end. Liv wanted to say something but hesitated, clearly having seen Angela in the car.
Angela didn't know who the people outside were or what was happening. She had gotten into the car in a daze after hearing Su Sheng tell her to, as she was still bewildered.
"Liv, come with me. I have something to deal with here. I'll come find you when I'm free!" Su Sheng said to Constantine, motioning for Liv to get in the car first, then he got in himself and drove out of the alley.
Su Sheng and Angela sat in the front.
Liv sat quietly and obediently in the back.
The car was very quiet, no one spoke. It wasn't until after driving for about ten minutes that the car stopped, and Angela said something similar to what Liv had said initially.
"This, this is my house? How did you know I live here?" Angela asked in surprise.
Su Sheng just shrugged his shoulders, and she understood; he was an Angel!
Taking out the key, she opened the door. After the three entered, Angela first went to pour them some water, then sat down with them.
"About my sister, she..." Angela hesitated. "Did she really commit suicide?"
"You don't believe it, do you?" Su Sheng smiled.
Angela nodded and said, "Yes, my sister's mental state was indeed problematic, so she had been receiving treatment in a psychiatric hospital. But recently, she... she actually got much better, she was very normal. When I went to see her, she... she was still acting very normal, and then not long after, she jumped off a building and committed suicide."
"I don't believe she would do that, there's absolutely no reason."
"So you want to find out the real cause of her Death, right?" Su Sheng asked.
"Yes!"
Angela nodded heavily. "You, if you really are an Angel, you must have a way, right?"
"Angel?"
Liv looked at Su Sheng in a daze. Su Sheng didn't explain but stood up and said, "Let's talk about this tomorrow? Which is your room?"
Angela paused, then pointed.
Su Sheng pulled Liv up and said, "The room is mine. Good night."
"Ah?"
Angela was stunned, watching Su Sheng pull Liv into his bedroom, and then the door slammed shut.
"He, is he really an angel? Do angels... do angels also... find women?" Angela always felt a bit strange. Even if she wasn't an atheist, she had never heard of angels, such holy and sacred beings, finding human women, and having human desires?
Inside the room.
Su Sheng looked at Liv and said, "You have two choices. One, after sleeping with me, I'll send you to a safe place to start a new life. Two, after sleeping with me, I'll find someone to cultivate your magic and develop your talent."
"..."
What kind of choice is this? No matter what I choose, you're going to sleep with me!
"Are you... an angel? I mean, a real angel?" Liv asked.
Su Sheng didn't speak, he just shrugged his shoulders, and in an instant, wings appeared.
To be honest, these wings were really cool. They didn't change his physical condition, but would appear out of thin air when needed. Although they had no practical combat value, they were really good for showing off. Didn't Angela quiet down when she saw the wings before? Angels, God—this whole concept has a big market for Westerners, after all, religious belief is popular over there, and many are the kind who believe unconditionally.
"You, you..."
The moment Liv saw the wings, she immediately knelt down and worshipped.
Su Sheng's thought moved, and the wings slightly bent, hooking Liv's chin. "How do you choose?"
"I will follow your command," Liv whispered.
"Mm." Su Sheng nodded, retracted his wings, and pulled Liv up.
After that, Su Sheng naturally didn't hold back.
...
...
"Bang bang bang!"
The knocking on the door woke Angela, who was asleep on the living room sofa. She groggily opened her eyes, looked at the door, and got up to open it.
"Who is it!"
She stood at the door and called out.
"I'm looking for Su Sheng." Outside the door was a woman's magnetic voice.
Su Sheng? Angel?
Angela suddenly woke up and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was a blonde woman, wearing a white uniform, her chest tightly bound, giving a sense of being about to burst forth.
"You're Angela, right? My name is Sarah, and I'm here to see Su Sheng."
The blonde woman in white clothes smiled and spoke to Angela.
"Are you also an angel?"
Angela subconsciously asked.
...
PS: The picture is Angela.
Chapter 429: Sarah's Request and the spear of destiny
Being able to accurately find this place and call out his name, Angela thought this Sarah was also an angel?
"Also an angel?" Sarah was stunned for a moment and said, "You're not saying Su Sheng is an angel, are you?"
Angela nodded.
Sarah pursed her lips and patted Angela's shoulder. "Believe me, even if all angels were dead, he wouldn't become an angel. He's a devil, or perhaps a fallen angel? He'd be good friends with Lucifer!"
Angela was a bit confused. What did she mean? Was he an angel or a devil after all? While she was stunned and bewildered, Sarah had already walked in, looked around, and went directly to the bedroom, pushing open the door.
"I knew this would happen!"
Looking at Su Sheng and Liv sleeping on the bed, Sarahfelt no embarrassment or shyness, just a sense of helplessness.
"What are you doing here?"
Su Sheng opened his eyes and looked at Sarah at the door, somewhat surprised. He turned over and directly reached out to pull Sarah over through the air. Sarahwas involuntarily pulled to the side of the bed, only to see Su Sheng sitting up casually, not caring that he was completely naked. Sarah looked at Su Sheng angrily, her eyes inadvertently sneaking a few glances at 453.
"You have desire!" Su Sheng suddenly looked at Sarah.
Sarah was stunned and said, "What did you say? Desire? How is that possible!"
Su Sheng laughed heartily and said, "So indecisive? I can already feel your greed. There are several kinds of greed, and I could feel the greed that arose in you for that instant. Don't be embarrassed, your sister actually likes it a lot!"
"Pfft!"
Sarah snorted and said, "Get dressed. I have something very important to tell you!"
"spear of destiny?" Su Sheng looked at Sarah and suddenly spoke.
Sarah angrily slapped her own head: "Can't you stop doing that? I came here to tell you, why do you have to probe my memories? It makes me feel very uncomfortable, I feel violated."
"Mm." Su Sheng smiled, got up, put on his clothes, and squeezed her large airport, laughing, "Now this is what you call being violated."
"You..."
"Do you still want to save the world and find the spear of destiny?" Su Sheng said casually.
Sarah could only remain silent.
The spear of destiny is also known as the spear of destiny or the Lance of Longinus. This is a spear that once pierced Jesus Christ. Because it was stained with the blood of Jesus Christ, it possesses supreme and powerful abilities, capable of changing reality, and breaking the boundaries between darkness and light, the human world and hell. Sarah's sudden visit to Su Sheng was related to the spear of destiny. The Legend Team is currently facing enemies from the Doomsday Legion, composed of several villains: Reverse-Flash, Black Arrow Merlin, Damian Dark, and Captain Coldfrom other timelines. They are currently searching for the spear of destiny, hoping to change reality.
Reverse-Flash got his chance from the Flashpoint World. Strictly speaking, he is just a time remnant now, and he wants to change all of this. Captain Cold, even more so, is already dead, so an earlier version of him, knowing his fate, naturally wants to change it. He doesn't have the experience of being with the Legend Team, so he's not the hero who was whitewashed. As for Black Arrow Merlin, he's missing an arm, which is probably Green Arrow's masterpiece. Damian Dark, well, he's not from the current timeline either, and should also know the future, so he wants destiny.
The four villains hit it off and sought the spear of destiny. The Legend Team naturally couldn't ignore it. Now, the Doomsday Legion has already obtained some fragments of the spear of destiny, and there are two more. If the other side finds them, the situation will be troublesome. According to Gideon's calculations, one of the fragments is very likely to appear here and is related to Su Sheng. This is also why Sarah appeared here.
"Ah..." Liv's scream suddenly rang out. Having just woken up, she was obviously startled to see a stranger in the room.
"You're awake? Good, I'll send you to another world first. Someone there will tell you the details, and you can decide whether to stay or come back." Su Sheng said, then casually released a Shockwave Wormhole, sending her directly to the Doomsday Wasteland Worldin the Disciple's collection room.
Tsk, tsk, if you've slept with someone, put it away. That's what you call greed!
Sarah snorted.
Su Sheng shrugged indifferently, turned, and came out of the bedroom, glancing at Angela.
"I'll help you with your matter later. Do you want to follow me now, or wait for me to return?"
"When will you be back?" Angela asked eagerly.
"Not sure, but it shouldn't be too long."
"Then forget it. I have a friend from the police force who's being transferred to the Los Angeles police department. I... I'll go see her," Angela said.
"Alright."
Su Sheng nodded, turned, and went to the bathroom to wash up. After coming out, he left with Sarah.
"Your team didn't come?"
"They are tracking the Doomsday Legion. They left after dropping me off. Anyway, you can also travel through time. After you get the spear of destiny, you can send me back, or... have them pick me up," Sarah explained.
Su Sheng nodded, shrunk his Hummer, and put it away. Then, under Sarah's astonished gaze, he put his arm around her and directly activated the Speed Force.
Whoosh!
A time wormhole appeared moments later, and Su Sheng took Sarah directly into it.
The next moment.
When they emerged, the surrounding environment had undergone drastic changes. The concrete jungle and tall buildings had completely vanished, replaced by an extremely primitive deep forest.
"What era is this?" Sarah looked around suspiciously and asked.
"What are we doing here? Gideon's investigation of the spear of destiny fragment is related to you, but it shouldn't be this era, this location!"
"You're not on the Waverider now, but I guarantee you might very well be in bed!" Su Sheng glanced at her and said indifferently.
Sarah closed her mouth in annoyance.
Su Sheng identified the direction and slowly walked forward, with Sarah silently following.
This was Great Britain.
This was the era of King Arthur and Merlin the Sorcerer, a very distant, ancient era.
Su Sheng brought Sarah here to find one of the fragments of the spear of destiny, and this fragment was in the hands of the great sorcerer Merlin!
However, this Merlin was not quite the same as the Merlin of legend; the change was so great that one could even say it wasn't Merlin at all!
Chapter 430: Star Girl
Speaking of the spear of destiny, one must mention the Legend Team, and speaking of the Legend Team, one must mention the Justice Society, the predecessor of the Justice League.
Vixen originated from the Justice Society.
In addition to her, there were several others: Hourman, Commander Steel, Obsidian, Star Girl, and Dr. Mid-Nite. Hourman had only been with the Legend Team for a short time before he was written out. Commander Steel was the grandfather of Steel Citizen, the guy who could turn his whole body into steel, from the Legend Team's second lineup.
Not long after Vixen boarded the Waverider and joined the Legend Team to avenge Hourman, she once returned to the era of the Justice Society. Unfortunately, apart from the aging Obsidian, the others were said to have disappeared after a certain mission and were eventually presumed deceased, leading to the disbandment of the Justice Society.
But in fact, they were on a very special mission.
That was to guard the spear of destiny.
The original captain, Rip Hunter, divided the spear of destiny into several sections and entrusted them to their care, sending them to different points in time. To protect the information about the spear of destiny, Rip Huntereven erased his own related memories.
One of the spear of destiny fragments was in this era, kept by the great sorcerer Merlin.
But this Merlin was not the legendary great sorcerer who created the demon Etrigan, but a member of the Justice Society, Star Girl!
Star Girl herself had no superpowers, but she possessed a Cosmic Staff that allowed her to fly, manipulate cosmic energy, create force fields, and more. She was one of the main combat forces in the Justice Society.
To protect the fragment of the spear of destiny, she used her abilities to transform into the great sorcerer Merlin.
"Hey, where exactly are we going? Even if you want me to follow your lead, you have to tell me the specific situation, right?" After walking silently for a long time, Sarah finally couldn't help but grab Su Sheng and ask.
"Are you afraid I'll sell you?" Su Sheng glanced at her and said.
"Even if you're going to sell me, you should at least tell me how much you sold me for!" Sarah said irritably.
Su Sheng pointed into the distance.
"See it? That palace."
Sarah looked in that direction and indeed saw a palace. Its architectural style looked quite ancient.
"What is that place?"
"This is the era of King Arthur, and that palace is the palace of King Arthur's Round Table," Su Sheng said.
"Could the spear of destiny fragment be in King Arthur's palace?" Sarah asked in surprise.
"But, it shouldn't be easy to get in, right?"
Su Sheng smiled: "The fragment is indeed here, but it's not that easy to find where it's hidden. To find the fragment, you first need to find someone."
"Who?"
"Merlin!" Su Sheng said.
"How about we split up?"
"What are you going to do?" Sarah looked at Su Shengsuspiciously. With his abilities, even a legendary great sorcerer shouldn't be hard to find, right? Moreover, even if this was King Arthur's palace, it wouldn't affect him; there was no need to split up at all. Sarah's first reaction was that Su Sheng had ulterior motives.
"I have a pretty good candidate for a pillow," Su Shengsaid with a smile.
"..."
"I knew it!" Sarah rolled her eyes irritably and looked at the sky, saying, "It's getting dark. Let's meet here before dawn?"
"Alright!"
Knowing the era and location, Sarah really didn't mind acting alone. At least for her, it was more comfortable and adaptable this way. After a simple orientation, Sarah quickly disappeared from Su Sheng's sight, and Su Sheng also vanished instantly.
The abilities of an angel were many and complex.
Teleportation was certainly one of them. In the blink of an eye, he had appeared in a luxurious room in the palace.
As soon as he appeared, Su Sheng sensed a surge of energy whistling towards him from behind.
World Stasis!
In an instant, the entire world came to a halt, and the energy stopped abruptly in mid-air.
Su Sheng leisurely turned around and, following the energy, saw the person who attacked him.
A woman dressed in a sorcerer's robe, holding a golden staff slightly taller than herself, with a hook-like tip.
She was the fake great sorcerer Merlin, also the Star Girl of the Justice Society, and... also the pretty good pillow candidate Su Sheng spoke of.
Su Sheng raised his hand, absorbed the energy completely, and then slowly walked towards the motionless Star Girl. He pried open her fingers, took the Cosmic Staff, and then, after swinging it a few times in a practiced manner, he snapped his fingers.
Snap!
The world returned to normal. Star Girl stared blankly at the vanished energy, then looked at her own hand, seeing the other party holding the Cosmic Staff.
The Cosmic Staff, was it taken?
When did he take it?
Star Girl was stunned.
"Who are you?" she asked in a cautious, deep voice.
"Snap!" Su Sheng didn't speak, but snapped his fingers again.
The next moment, Star Girl's sorcerer's robe suddenly disappeared, replaced by a one-piece suit. The dark blue suit had white star symbols on the chest and arms, a red belt around the waist, and the bottom half was like shorts with white trim.
This was her uniform as Star Girl; her identity had already been discovered by the other party.
He…
Is he here for the spear of destiny fragments?
Star Girl couldn't think of any other reason besides that. After all, from his attire, he was clearly not from this era, and he knew her true identity, and he had such abilities… His target could only be the spear of destinyfragments!
Thinking of this, Star Girl turned and ran towards the door, shouting loudly for the guards outside.
She opened her mouth.
She found that she couldn't make a sound.
She turned around.
She found that her feet couldn't move forward. She screamed in horror, her face turning red from the strain, but still no sound came out. She struggled, tensing every muscle in her body, but her feet seemed rooted to the ground, unmoving.
Su Sheng raised the Cosmic Staff and hooked it around Star Girl's neck, pulling her down towards him.
Thud!
Her knees hit the ground hard, and she landed on all fours.
"You are as helpless as an ant before me, yet you still want to call the guards outside for help? Are you planning to get them killed?" Su Sheng was about to squat down, but then he thought it might not be cool enough. After a moment's thought, he casually leveled the Cosmic Staff.
The Cosmic Staff floated in mid-air, and Su Shengslowly sat down, then chuckled as he continued, "I already know where the spear of destiny fragments are, so the problem now… is just about you!"
Chapter 431: Blackened Star Girl
"Do you still want to stay in this backward era? Rip Hunter sent you all to different times in the past and future to protect the spear of destiny fragments. Protect the spear of destiny? Heh heh, it sounds like a great mission, but the Justice Society has already disbanded, and your teammates didn't fare too well either. Did he… ever tell you when this mission would end? Did he ever tell you how you would be arranged after it ended?"
Looking at Star Girl, who was kneeling on the ground with her head tilted up, Su Sheng chuckled to himself. "I guess he definitely said that if the mission ended, he would send you back to your original era, right? Do you believe that? Under normal circumstances, they can't cross the same time point twice in a row; it's very easy to cause temporal collapse and influence. Of course, sometimes they might be forced to do so, but given Rip Hunter's personality, even if you complete the mission, you won't be able to return to your original era."
"Moreover, Rip Hunter deleted the memories about the spear of destiny to ensure the secrecy of the information. In other words, unless something unexpected happens, he will never come to find you and tell you that the mission is complete. So, you probably only have two outcomes."
"Either you guard the spear of destiny fragments until you die, or someone discovers the spear of destiny, steals it, and you are killed!"
"Simply put, this is a mission that only ends with death."
Star Girl's body trembled slightly, her eyes changing from anger and fear to doubt, then from doubt to gloom, and finally back to anger, before her expression involuntarily dimmed.
Su Sheng stood up, and the Cosmic Staff suddenly flew above Star Girl's head. Star Girl's body slowly rose uncontrollably, bending down to grasp the Cosmic Staff with both hands. She hurriedly tried to control the Cosmic Staff, but found that it didn't react in the slightest, and she could only remain bent over, holding the Cosmic Staff, unable to move.
Su Sheng's body swayed slightly, appearing to be just a normal shrug of the shoulders, but Star Girl's eyes widened in horror.
Su Sheng's hand held something.
It was one of the fragments of the spear of destiny.
"The mission to protect the spear of destiny is over." Su Sheng casually placed the spear of destiny fragment on a nearby table, within Star Girl's sight, then came up behind her.
His hand.
He placed it on her raised backside and gently stroked it. Star Girl trembled slightly.
She trembled with anger!
Rip!
Her uniform split in two at the waist. Su Sheng leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "If Rip Hunter hadn't given you this mission, perhaps you would have continued to stay with the Justice Society, carrying out missions like the aging Obsidian, or perhaps you would have joined the Legend Team like Vixen, experiencing different exciting eras every day. But now… you can only be forgotten here, protecting a metal fragment that will only bring you harm and no benefit, and you have to accept my… invasion?"
"Whose fault is all this?"
Yes?
Whose fault is it?
Star Girl subconsciously followed the train of thought. Rip Hunter! It was Rip Hunter's fault. If it weren't for his appearance, the Justice Society wouldn't have had so many problems, and the members wouldn't have been sent to other places to live lonely lives away from their own eras. Rip Hunter, and even the Legend Team, constantly claimed to protect the timeline, but they were also the ones who broke the rules.
It was him.
It was them who harmed her, who harmed the Justice Society!
"Ah…" Just as Star Girl's eyes brightened with anger, a sudden sharp pain came, making her let out an involuntary cry, but… no sound emerged.
She!
A member of the Justice Society, now she could only hold her Cosmic Staff, posing, letting the other party violate her from behind. Anger, grievance, and a mix of emotions made her tears flow unconsciously. Her anger made her gradually think of one person in her mind.
Rip Hunter.
It was his fault she had become like this, enduring all of this!
Even though Su Sheng was clearly doing bad things, he could clearly feel that Star Girl's anger and resentment were directed at Rip Hunter, which Su Sheng found particularly interesting. With just a few words, he had manipulated Star Girl, turning the person she should trust and adhere to into an object of resentment and anger.
This feeling of manipulating people's hearts was truly interesting. Su Sheng could feel that the worse he treated her, the stronger her hatred for Rip Hunterwould become…
Speaking of which, Rip Hunter was indeed not a good guy. At first, he betrayed the Time Masters to save his wife and children and formed the Legend Team. The process itself is not worth mentioning, but the final result was that Captain Cold died, and Hawkman also died once. And he could save his wife and children and change history, but others couldn't? His double standards were very serious. In the second season, he directly screwed over the Justice Society, and then what? After a series of events, he actually formed a new Time Masters-like council organization and became its leader, then started to dislike the Legend Team and even wanted to disband them.
This is ungratefulness, burning bridges after crossing them.
And then what? Then this guy was thrown under the bus by the organization he founded? What to do, he came running back to the Legend Team again.
Although Su Sheng felt that the Legend Team was a trash heap team, he truly felt that Rip Hunter was the trash among trash. He tried to blacken Star Girl and didn't expect such good results. If Star Girl could kill Rip Hunter, that would be great!
Time passes especially quickly when you are focused on doing something. When Su Sheng left Star Girl and snapped his fingers to restore her freedom, the sky outside had already turned completely dark. Su Shengwalked over, poured a glass of water, took the spear of destiny fragment, and sat down on the bed to study it.
Star Girl silently huddled on the ground, clutching her Cosmic Staff tightly with both hands.
No crying, no screaming.
After an unknown amount of time, Star Girl put down the Cosmic Staff, got up, and limped to a nearby wardrobe, took out a wizard's robe, put it on, and walked out the door.
Su Sheng did not stop her.
There were no shouts, no guards rushing in. About an hour passed like this, and Star Girl returned.
She must have gone to take a bath just now!
…
PS: Throughout the three seasons of Legends of Tomorrow, for me personally, the character I disliked the most was probably Rip Hunter. Even when he self-destructed and died at the end of the third season, my opinion didn't change much. Instead, Sarah becoming the captain later felt much better to me.
Chapter 432: Doomsday Legion: Reverse-Flash and Black Arrow Who Cower on Sight (First Update)
"Who are you?"
Star Girl stood by the bed, asking Su Shengexpressionlessly.
"Su Sheng." Su Sheng put down the spear of destinyfragment and said casually.
Star Girl took a look. "You're collecting the spear of destiny?"
"No? I'm not very interested in that thing. Its biggest use is to change reality, but that's not difficult for me. The Legend Team asked me to find the fragments of the spear of destiny. The Doomsday Legion has already obtained the others. Most of the Legend Team is fighting the Doomsday Legion, and Sarah came to bother me."
"White Canary Sarah? What's your relationship with her?" Star Girl asked again.
Su Sheng thought for a moment. "The sister-in-law I've beaten several times? I just slept with her sister not long ago."
Star Girl was silent for a moment, then said, "How are you going to deal with me?"
"Do you hate me?" Su Sheng asked with a smile.
"Hate!" Star Girl said in a deep voice. "But I want to get revenge on Rip Hunter even more."
"Let me think, Rip Hunter should be with the Doomsday Legion now, right? He seems to have been brainwashed, but I think he'd be like that whether he was brainwashed or not. If you want revenge, I can give you a chance." Su Sheng thought for a moment and said, "In exchange, you'll be my person from now on."
"Okay." Star Girl agreed very readily. After taking off her wizard's robe, she directly climbed onto Su Sheng's lap and lay in his arms.
Su Sheng smiled faintly. He didn't really care if it was genuine, feigned, or if she was self-destructing due to hatred. There's an interesting saying: 'You can have my body but not my heart.' Su Sheng actually scoffed at that. Not to mention the possibility of love developing over time, once you have the body, it's done. Who has the patience to also get your heart? So, he didn't care what Star Girl was thinking. As long as she did her job as a Pillow . And to be honest, Su Sheng didn't plan on wanting her heart either.
He had countless Pillow , and there would be even more in the future. If he saw someone pretty or interesting, he'd just get them to use for a while. Talk about feelings with her? That would be a bit demeaning and not much fun.
The night passed without a word. The next day, after Star Girl got up, she went out and gave an order, and soon someone brought food.
The Archmage Merlin alias was still very useful here. After eating and drinking, they had another round. When they had rested enough, Su Sheng and Star Girlleft the palace and arrived at the meeting point they had agreed upon with Sarah yesterday.
After waiting for about half an hour, a figure emerged from the woods—Sarah, disguised in a long robe. Taking off the robe, Sarah saw Star Girl and was immediately stunned.
"Star Girl? How are you here?" Sarah said, very surprised. "Could it be, could it be that you were protecting the fragments of the spear of destiny?"
"Mm." Star Girl responded very calmly and indifferently. This reaction surprised Sarah a bit. After all, they had become acquainted through battle, and her relationship with the members of the Justice Society was quite good. Why was her reaction so cold?
Sarah subconsciously looked at Su Sheng. "What did you do to her?"
Su Sheng shrugged noncommittally.
Sarah couldn't help but say angrily, "You, how could you? She's from the Justice Society, she's one of us, a friend, you..."
"I didn't know her before? Besides, she's your friend, not mine. You're not qualified to tell me what I can do, are you? Moreover, if you hadn't come to me for help, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet her." Su Shengpouted and said.
This logic made it difficult for Sarah to refute. She had no idea Star Girl would be here! She looked apologetically at Star Girl, but found that Star Girl's expression was even colder than before. Sarah sighed helplessly and asked, "Have the fragments been found?"
Su Sheng looked at Star Girl; he had put the fragments with Star Girl.
"That's good. Let's go back. Try not to let the Doomsday Legion find the others..." Sarah's words were cut short when suddenly, hoofbeats came from a distance. In an instant, fully armored knights on horseback charged over and surrounded them.
Sarah was about to speak, wondering if she could explain or bluff her way out, but then she noticed that these knights were a bit off. They seemed to be wearing glowing devices on their heads that definitely didn't belong in this era. Immediately after, several people emerged from behind the cavalry.
Before they even arrived, a somewhat arrogant voice rang out.
"Sarah, I should thank you for leading the way for us. Now... hand over the fragments of the spear of destiny..." Damian Dark said as he walked, but before he could finish, he was simultaneously pulled back by Reverse-Flash in a yellow uniform and Black Arrow Merlin.
Damian Dark almost fell.
"It's you!"
"Su Sheng!"
Black Arrow Merlin and Reverse-Flash spoke at the same time, their expressions serious.
Damian Dark was stunned. "Who is Su Sheng? Why are you suddenly so cowardly?"
Who is Su Sheng?
For Black Arrow, Su Sheng was the culprit who bullied his daughter, caused him to expose his identity and duel Green Arrow, and ultimately led to his hand being severed.
As for Reverse-Flash?
He was taken by Barry to the Flashpoint World and imprisoned when he tried to assassinate Barry's mother. After being released, he understood his situation and realized he was just a time remnant. Of course, he also learned about some things that were supposed to happen but he hadn't experienced yet.
For example, dying at Su Sheng's hands, and that Su Sheng was also a speedster, and even faster than him.
So, it was normal for them to react this way. As for Damian Dark? He had no contact with Su Sheng. His opponent was Green Arrow, so he didn't really understand Su Sheng's situation. And because of that, he couldn't understand why they suddenly became so cowardly, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy, even a little afraid?
Black Arrow Merlin was one thing, but Reverse-Flash, that speedster, was very strong. At least, even if he and Black Arrow Merlin teamed up, they were no match for Reverse-Flash. Why was he also so scared?
Damian Dark wasn't stupid!
He wouldn't be foolish enough to jump out and cause trouble with an opponent who could make Reverse-Flash so wary. So, after asking, without waiting for their answer, Damian Dark quietly retreated a little.
Chapter 433: Why not kill them and keep them for Chinese New Year?
"Why are you here?!" Reverse-Flash frowned and looked at Su Sheng.
"Do I have to tell you where I am? I dare to tell you, but the question is... do you dare to listen?" Su Shengimpolitely beckoned Reverse-Flash to come over.
Reverse-Flash hesitated.
Although he acted tough in front of Black Arrow Merlinand Damian Dark, he genuinely felt intimidated when facing Su Sheng. Even though his memory contained no experience of fighting Su Sheng, he knew he had died at Su Sheng's hands and knew how fast Su Sheng was.
"Say what you want, I can hear you." Reverse-Flashshook his head, not planning to go over.
Su Sheng frowned slightly and suddenly moved. In an instant, Reverse-Flash's neck was gripped by Su Sheng, who lifted him up.
"So fast!"
Reverse-Flash was greatly alarmed. Even though he knew Su Sheng was fast, he never expected him to be this fast.
He couldn't react at all.
Gasping for breath, Reverse-Flash looked at Su Sheng, who was flickering with black Speed Force lightning. He grabbed Su Sheng's wrists, trying to make his breathing easier. Beside them, Black Arrow Merlin and Damian Dark, with a tacit understanding, simultaneously moved to distance themselves from Su Sheng.
"Are you afraid of Death?" Su Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Reverse-Flash.
Reverse-Flash nodded frantically.
Su Sheng raised his hand and slapped him. "If you're afraid of Death, why are you acting tough? When I tell you to come, you come. And you can hear? Can you hear Death calling you?"
That slap made Reverse-Flash dizzy. Embarrassed? Humiliated? While Reverse-Flash couldn't stoop to the level of letting spit dry on his face, he understood the difference in importance between life and dignity, so Reverse-Flash conceded. But Black Arrow Merlin, Damian Dark, including Sarah and Star Girl, all had varied expressions.
Especially Sarah, who had fought the Doomsday Legionseveral times and knew how difficult Reverse-Flashwas to deal with, and also knew how strong Su Shengwas. But for Su Sheng to scold Reverse-Flash like he was scolding his grandson still shocked her. As for Star Girl, her thoughts were relatively simpler; she gained a clearer understanding of Su Sheng.
"Hand over the other fragments of the spear of destiny." Sarah stepped forward, seizing the opportunity to speak.
"I don't want the fragments of the spear of destiny." Su Sheng followed up.
Reverse-Flash's expression instantly changed. Sarahwas about to speak when she saw Su Sheng turn his head and say, "If you have the ability, you can demand it yourself. Anyway, with one piece in my hand, they won't be able to gather them all."
Sarah stopped talking.
Where is Rip Hunter?" Su Sheng turned back to Reverse-Flash again.
Reverse-Flash looked far away, past the knights, and immediately saw Rip Hunter sitting on his horse, wearing the controller for these knights on his head.
"Star Girl," Su Sheng called out, and Star Girl behind him charged directly at Rip Hunter.
When Sarah saw Rip Hunter, she also intended to go over. Although Rip Hunter's current situation was not normal, she still felt that she could save him. After a few steps, Sarah suddenly realized that something was wrong. Star Girl had indeed rushed over, but the Cosmic Staff in her hand also lit up.
"Star Girl, what are you doing?!" Sarah was shocked, not expecting Star Girl to attack Rip Hunter. She quickly pulled out a throwing knife and threw it, wanting to force Star Girl to stop.
But!
"Pfft." The throwing knife grazed Star Girl's arm and flew past. Star Girl grunted but did not stop.
The light from the Cosmic Staff instantly hit Rip Hunter, who was trying to escape when he saw the situation was bad, knocking him off his horse and sending him sprawling to the ground. His entire body instantly turned black as if burned by flames, and his chest was completely charred. Sarah rushed over, pushed Star Girlaway, and came to Rip Hunter's side to check, her expression instantly turning to shock and confusion.
"De…Dead…" Sarah stared blankly at Rip Hunter, her expression indescribably complex.
Although Rip Hunter had been changed and even became an enemy, he was still the original captain and companion. Even though Sarah was an Assassin Alliance assassin, she hadn't given up on trying to save her companion. Although she didn't know if there was any hope, she never expected him to die like this, and at the hands of Star Girl.
"I need your explanation." Sarah looked coldly at Star Girl.
Star Girl looked at her wound and snorted, "How about you explain the Justice Society first? If it weren't for him, the Justice Society wouldn't have disbanded, I wouldn't be here, and I wouldn't have experienced all of this. He said he would send us back after the mission, but he erased our memories of it. Did he want us to live out our lives alone in this strange era and then wait to be discovered and killed one day? Even if the mission ended, could we really return to our original era?"
Sarah gritted her teeth and said nothing.
Because she really couldn't explain. She looked up at Su Sheng, who had already released Reverse-Flash in the distance. Sarah knew clearly that Su Sheng must have said something to Star Girl, but now… it was too late to say anything.
A roar suddenly came from the sky in the distance, and the Waverider suddenly appeared and landed not far away.
After landing, the Legend Team members quickly appeared.
"What happened?"
"What happened to Rip Hunter?"
"Star Girl?"
The reactions of the few people were different. Vixenlooked at Star Girl with pleasant surprise and rushed over, while the cold and darkened Star Girl was not so indifferent to Vixen.
"Can we go now?" Reverse-Flash rubbed his neck and asked.
"Get lost," Su Sheng said.
Reverse-Flash reluctantly took Black Arrow Merlin and Damian Dark and left.
The Legend Team members now roughly understood what had happened. Sarah sought Su Sheng's help to find the spear of destiny fragments, Su Sheng found the fragments and also found Star Girl of the Justice Society, then the Doomsday Legion appeared, and Star Girl killed Rip Hunter. This… this was too dramatic, wasn't it?
But Star Girl gave a very sufficient reason. After all, it sounded like Rip Hunter had indeed tricked Star Girland the Justice Society. It was just, this was to protect the spear of destiny! Although Rip Hunter might have had some deceptive elements back then, it was understandable to have resentment and anger, but it wasn't enough to kill him!
"If there's resentment and anger, why not kill? Keep it for New Year's?" Su Sheng chuckled at the Legend Team's words and patted Star Girl's shoulder. "Don't be afraid. If any of them are unconvinced and want revenge, I'll help you. If one comes, I'll kill one."
After speaking, Su Sheng looked at the Legend Teamwith a bit of anticipation.
Chapter 434: Either Loyalty, or Death!
Although the Legend Team members were somewhat indignant, not a single person met Su Sheng's gaze, and even Sarah had to avert her eyes.
No choice.
Who knew what Su Sheng would do? Even killing them all was something Su Sheng could do, and it wouldn't seem strange at all. They dared to be dissatisfied with Star Girl, but they dared not show anything in front of Su Sheng. This had nothing to do with persistence or position; they didn't have heads hard enough to withstand Su Sheng's methods! Moreover, not everyone was unable to accept it. After all, the previous Rip Hunter had been brainwashed by the Doomsday Legion, and it was uncertain if he could be re-brainwashed. Furthermore, before this, they had also had conflicts with Rip Hunter; he was not at all merciless.
So, there was nothing more to say. Rip Hunter was dead, and Star Girl couldn't be blamed. The most important thing was that the mission for the spear of destiny was also completed. No matter how much the Doomsday Legion got, as long as one piece was still with Su Sheng, the spear of destiny could not succeed, and the Doomsday Legion could not modify reality.
Would the Doomsday Legion dare to go after the piece in Su Sheng's hand?
From their performance just now, it was clear that they didn't dare!
"Let's go."
Sarah took a deep breath, had Rip Hunter's body taken back to the Waverider, and then walked in front of Su Sheng. "I really don't know what to say about this outcome."
"You should say thank you!" Su Sheng said indifferently. "Do you know what would have happened if Rip Hunterhadn't died? You would have tried to restore him to normal, and then he would have taken the opportunity to control Gideon. Don't think you're the captain now; Rip Hunter always had the highest control over the Waverider. And then what? Do I need to say it?"
"You know what? Sometimes your character of skipping the process and only stating the result is really annoying." Sarah believed Su Sheng's words, because Su Sheng knew a lot, and she also believed that Su Sheng would not lie to her. However, results are results, and processes are processes. In this unknown situation, being directly told the result is indeed emotionally and psychologically difficult, especially when you believe the result is correct, it becomes even more tangled.
"I don't need you to like me," Su Sheng said indifferently.
Sarah sighed and shook her head, calling out to Vixen, who was chatting with Star Girl, preparing to leave. Vixen looked at Su Sheng with a complicated expression, nodded slightly, and followed Sarah away.
Soon after, the Waverider activated, traveled through time, and departed.
Star Girl turned and, as Merlin, dismissed the now-sane knights, then silently waited for Su Sheng's instructions.
"How does it feel to have taken revenge?" Su Shengsmiled.
"Not good!" Star Girl shook her head and said. In the moment of revenge, there was indeed a feeling of having vented her anger, but now, only confusion about the future remained.
The Justice Society had disbanded, and there was no longer a need to guard the spear of destiny. Rip Hunterhad also been killed by her. She was very confused about what to do and what her future held.
"I'm going to form a small team and gather teams from different timelines," Su Sheng said.
"You want to go against the Legend Team?"
"No, the Legend Team is not at a level that requires me to specially gather a team to deal with. After a while, I plan to invade other worlds for fun. I need a special team that can be ruthless and unconditionally obey my commands. Heroes or villains? Good guys or criminals, it doesn't matter, there are only two conditions."
"One, they must be female, occasionally serving as a pillow. I don't like not having a usable pillow when I rest. Two, they must be obedient, or loyal. I can give you everything, including immortality or Death, but I demand loyalty. I want you to obey any of my commands!"
"Remember, you are not Star Girl of the Justice Societynow, you are my person. So, if you feel there are some things you cannot do in the future, I can free you now…" The Orange Lantern ring light suddenly flared, materializing a long sword, and Su Sheng looked at Star Girl simultaneously.
It was as if he would kill her now if she couldn't do it. As for why it was orange light? Because after being killed by the Orange Light of Greed, one can materialize as an Orange Light Specter and continue fighting.
"I can do it," Star Girl said in a deep voice.
"I hope so," Su Sheng said faintly, retracting the ring light, grabbing Star Girl's shoulder, and leaving through time.
They returned to their original timeline, back to Angela's house.
It was an hour after they had left.
Angela wasn't home; she must have gone to see her friend who was being transferred to the Los Angeles Police Department. Su Sheng told Star Girl to make herself at home and sat down on the sofa, pondering how to handle this matter. Besides Star Girl, Su Shengplanned to include Firestorm, Black Siren, Bombshell Betty, and Golden Glider Lisa, as well as Silk Soul Laura, so they wouldn't have nothing to do every day. As for a ship, the Disciple couldn't be used, after all, the Disciple was considered his 'home.' So the best way was to get another time-traveling spaceship. If he remembered correctly, weren't there time pirates before? Getting one should be no problem.
The Marvel World's forces are so vast; it would indeed feel a bit less imposing without some subordinates.
As for where to get a time-traveling spaceship?
That was simple. He wasn't interested in running around aimlessly through time; wasn't there still the Legend Team? Although they had just parted ways, he figured they would surely be willing to help with this. Su Sheng locked onto Vixen's temporal location and then directly stood up and left through time.
Whoosh!
On the Waverider, everyone was still immersed in the fact that Rip Hunter had died, so Su Sheng's sudden appearance really startled them.
"What's wrong?"
Su Sheng had returned, so Sarah, as the captain, naturally had to ask for clarification.
"I need a time-traveling spaceship, preferably a large one. Once you get it, send it to my villa in Central City," Su Sheng said bluntly.
"Ah? Where are we supposed to get that?"
"And why should we?"
Several people couldn't help but speak up.
Su Sheng glared at them. "If you don't have one, then the Waverider will do."
"We have one!"
"Give us some time," Sarah said without hesitation.
"I'll wait for your good news."
After Su Sheng finished speaking, he instantly vanished and returned, then notified Firestorm and the others to return to the Central City villa, while he took Star Girlthere himself.
