"Centuries ago, everyone could see and approach the Rock of Eternity!"
"It opened its doors to all who needed it!"
"Its hall was supervised by the Eternal Council. It was a secret group formed by seven wizards and mages. They swore to protect all magic until the day came … when the darkness controlled by the prophet came to fulfill its responsibility … to destroy the original magic and kill all those who knew the truth about magic."
"All the members of the council were killed. Only one survived."
"The last wizard chose to close the door to the Rock of Eternity …"
"As the rock escaped from the eyes of the secular world … so did magic. He had to shut up about the secret of magic, or else … that was his fate! "
Madame Shangdu raised her head. The pale green eyes on her beautiful face had turned into two black holes. Terrifying black holes. Zatanna almost screamed. She tried her best to control herself.
Madame Shangdu said calmly, "Do you still want to ask me about the secret of the Rock of Eternity?"
"This … What's going on?" Zatanna tugged at Superman's cloak. Her hands that were grabbing the red cloak turned white. Superman's expression was also serious. "Nimue, if you are willing, we will find that bastard for you and make him pay for what he did to you."
"This is the price …" Madame Shangdu's reaction was very strange. She sighed in relief. "This is the price of my eyes seeing too many things that they shouldn't have seen. All magic … has a price. Zatanna, you should know … prophecy is the same … "Madame Shangdu reached out her hand and fumbled on the table for a while before finding her tarot cards.
She said to Zatanna, "Do you still want me to prophesy? Then I need you to help me read the tarot cards … "
Zatanna covered her mouth and shook her head. "No need! Madame … He took away your eyes. I can't let him take away your tongue. "
She pulled Superman and prepared to leave Madame Shangdu's hut. As they were leaving, Madame Shangdu suddenly said, "There's no need to search. The answer will find itself!" As Zatanna and Superman left the hut, Madame Shangdu put on her blindfold. She had just taken it off for Zatanna and the others to see. A line of tears silently fell from the lavender blindfold.
After Zatanna and Superman left Madame Shangdu's cottage, they walked silently on the streets of London. The London Underground had a history of nearly a century and a half. Some people say that the changes in London over the past 100 years are all hidden in the subway. They walked along the street for about five or ten minutes before they came to an eye-catching sign — a large red ring with a sapphire blue rectangle in the middle.
This was the subway station. It was an old subway station. The ancient arches were built a hundred years ago.
Zatanna and Superman leaned against the wall and waited for the next train … Both of them could move faster, but why so quickly? Madam Shangdu said that we only need to wait …
Just as Zatanna was looking down at her phone, the train arrived at the station.
Zatanna looked up and wanted to board the subway, but she saw a figure on the opposite platform through the subway window. It was a figure wearing a golden Roman-style helmet and a golden scarf and armor cloak. It was a figure because there was no one under the golden helmet and gauntlets. It was as if the cloak was floating there.
Zatanna put down her phone, but did not get into the car.
In the blink of an eye, the subway rumbled slightly. Zatanna and Superman had already appeared on the opposite platform. Beside them was the golden helmet …
"Doctor Fate!" Zatanna stood beside the fluttering golden cloak. Now, she stood in the middle of the red and golden cloaks.
She felt like she had become a national flag … Just like the flag of Romania, with three vertical stripes of blue, yellow, and red. Unfortunately, she was missing Batman … His cloak was black and could form the flag of Belgium, with three vertical stripes of black, yellow, and red.
"Which generation's Doctor Fate are you?" Zatanna expressed that she was puzzled by this faceless hero's attire. Doctor Fate still had a face most of the time, okay?
"That's not important …" Doctor Fate said, "Because I now represent the will of God Neb."
Doctor Fate was the magic emissary chosen by God Neb, who was possessed by the golden Neb helmet. The Justice Alliance once thought that Doctor Fate was a superhero and wanted him to join the Justice Alliance, but Batman objected. He believed that Doctor Fate was not the will of those possessed, but the will of God Neb.
So, perhaps those mortals had good wills, but in the end, they were still controlled by Neb.
The superheroes all believed that there were a few generations of Doctors Fate who had a heart of justice, but God Neb had absolutely nothing to do with justice, so this matter was dropped.
When God Neb thought that a certain stripper had a good size and chose him as the ninth generation Doctor Fate, everyone had to admit that Battie was right.
"We don't believe Neb … Maybe there are a few Doctors Fate who can make us believe … But Neb … We won't," Zatanna said frankly. "So, either show your face, or …"
"I'm not here to make you believe me …" God Neb said. "Shazan is dead!"
"How do you know?" Superman asked doubtfully. "This should still be a secret." Zatanna also revealed a doubtful expression, but Doctor Fate, who was possessed by God Neb, did not want to explain. When the next subway arrived, he wrapped himself in his cloak and brought the three of them onto the subway. Strangely, there was not a single person on the subway even though it was the evening rush hour.
It was as if the people on the platform could not see the subway at all.
As the subway started moving, the tunnel around them became more and more ancient. The subway seemed to be traveling on a track from a hundred years ago. Blue lightning gradually appeared around the subway. Under the entanglement of the lightning, they arrived at an ancient subway station. A stone room appeared in the tunnel, and there were many ancient statues at the entrance of the stone room.
Ancient Greek goddesses, China's stone lions, Egypt's human-faced gods …
Ancient tools were piled up in the stone room. God Neb led them up the stairs and arrived at a hall with seven stone seats. Behind the seven stone seats was the lightning pattern on the chest of Shazan's uniform. The ceiling of the hall had stone carvings of clouds. Zatanna recognized the place the moment she saw it.
The Rock of Eternity!
The center of the universe, where the Eternal Council was located.
In the center of the seven stone seats was a figure. He was wearing a tattered red cloak, and his clothes were ragged. He was dark and skinny, like an ancient Greek shepherd. He was holding a golden lightning staff, and his head was lowered as he sat on the stone seat.
He was the target of Zatanna's trip — the only survivor of the Eternal Council, the wizard Shazan.
The hero called Shazan's real name was Billy. The wizard who gave him power was called Shazan.
So the meaning of the sentence "Shazan is dead!" was … Zatanna exclaimed in shock, "Wizard Shazan is also dead!" God Neb said strangely, "Who do you think I'm talking about? When he was alive, this stone room was filled with blue lightning … I couldn't enter this place at that time. "
"Who could kill wizard Shazan?" Zatanna said in horror, "He was the great wizard of the Eternal Council!"
Zatanna never thought that their target was already dead. The person who killed Captain Shazan also killed wizard Shazan. That way, no one would know who he was. In order to cover up the fact that he was the murderer, the murderer also killed the police chief …
"The creator of magic …" God Neb said slowly, but it was unknown if he was answering Zatanna's question.
The three of them stared at the dead Shazan sitting on the stone seat of the Eternal Council. They stared at him for a long time without saying anything … After a long time, a faint sigh echoed in the stone room, "In the end, he couldn't escape …"
After returning to the watchtower base, the Alliance of Justice and Order had different opinions on how to deal with Constantine. Some of the heroes insisted that Constantine should be locked up, while others thought that Constantine was innocent and should be allowed to participate in the investigation of the murderer, giving him a chance to prove his innocence.
Constantine also learned of the news from Zatanna.
Constantine told Batman that the only reason he could think of for wizard Shazan's death was that the mastermind wanted to stop Strange from returning to this universe … He told this thought to Batman.
However, the only chance to prove his innocence was gone.
Although most people thought that Constantine did not have the ability to kill wizard Shazan, there were also some who thought that Constantine had become someone's lackey. He worked for Hell or Heaven and killed Shazan for them. He was part of the murderer.
Constantine had to prove himself!
There was a mastermind behind all this … but it was definitely not Chen Ang. He was busy with his experiments and had no time to care about these small matters. He had done what he needed to do, and all that was left was to wait!
