Bang!
The members of the Devil's Gang who were still in New York were gathered together. In front of them were a few big shots with serious expressions. They had just returned to New York from Gotham through the Magicians' Portal. They had received Seiber's summons, and they had responded to his summons.
Seiber, who was sitting on a chair, kicked open a box. Green bundles of US dollars rolled out and scattered all over the place. He looked at the dozens of people in front of him and observed their expressions. Finally, he said loudly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Seiber.
"Those of you who are well-informed should already know that the New York City government is evacuating the citizens. You may not know why, but let me tell you!"
He stood up from the chair and stood on the steps of the mansion.
"Soon, a war will break out … You are all core members who participated in the previous extermination of those disgusting Evil Spirits. You can be considered as the true pillars of The Devil Gang. You are one of the rare few who have seen the real world. I don't want to lie to you. The previous battle was just a small skirmish. The real challenge is coming …"
"Those beings in the sky and under the ground, those bastards, are coming back. They are going to start a massacre in this city and turn it into their heaven or hell. Of course, you know me …"
Saber pointed at his chest.
"I'm not an idiot who will lead you to fight the Evil Spirits to the death while shouting for love and justice. No one will do that, but I still want to stay here because it's only a five-day journey from New York to Gotham. If New York falls, Gotham will be next. Are you willing to fight the Evil Spirits in front of your house and make a mess of your precious little home?"
He spread out his hands and said helplessly.
"I don't want to. Cleaning is super boring!"
This sudden witty remark calmed everyone's nervous mood. Some of them even laughed out loud. Saber also had a smile on his face. He raised his voice.
"I have family in Gotham, you all know that. The reason I'm staying here is because someone hired me, and the other reason is that I can't stand by and watch those b * stards rush into the modern world and scare my family. Tell me … brothers! If someone bullies your child or your wife, what will you do? "
"Beat him up!"
"Kill him!"
"Break his legs!"
The group of thugs below shouted a bunch of ridiculous slogans. Seiber snorted, raised his left fist, and punched the air fiercely.
"So, I will do the same!"
"I now hire you, brothers. I, Saber Hawk, hire you to fight for me until the end of this godforsaken war. During this period, you must charge forward bravely. You must be undefeated. In exchange, I will pay you sufficient rewards …"
He pointed behind him. The black boxes that were piled up like a small mountain were very conspicuous.
"A sum of money that is enough for your family to use for three lifetimes! And it will be paid immediately … If the lucky ones among you can live to see the end of the war, I will give you a block! Whether it is in Gotham or New York, I will let you guys have a taste of being a boss! "
Saber stood on his chair so that everyone could see him. He raised a finger and waved it in front of everyone.
"You all know that the rule of The Devil Gang is to make the best use of everything. I am never afraid of you being outstanding because I can give you what you want, whether it is power, wealth, or status! I can give you all of them. The only question now is … Can you take them away from me? "
"Are you a ruthless person or a coward? Prove it to me now!"
"We men speak with our fists!"
He shrugged and his gaze became calm.
"Some people say that we are villains … That's right, we are! I have never denied that! "
"But is there a contradiction between being a villain and protecting your family? Is there a contradiction between being a villain and having courage? Is there a contradiction between being a villain and resisting evil? "
"Think about it carefully. I am done talking. The war will start tonight …"
He waved his hand without looking back.
"Cowards, take the money and get lost. I am going to the battlefield with a real warrior."
Kamar-Taj's sorcerers were waiting in the hall. The summoning circle was ready, and now they were waiting for people to go in and sign the contract. Those who could stay here were those who had been appraised by Sim last time, so Saber was not worried about the result of the contract. In fact, he did not need more people because Kamar-Taj had not only found him, but it was almost a replica of the last mirror battle in New York. All the factions that could come were here.
But this time was different from the last time. Each faction was only responsible for a city, and The Devil Gang was in Brooklyn. These warriors only needed to ensure that nothing bad happened in the area. Their opponents were mainly the Evil Spirits and Holy Spirits who took advantage of the chaos. The real difficult opponents were naturally dealt with by people like Hogness, Saber, and Professor Charles.
But what made Saber feel a little strange was that until now, the New York Sanctum had not been able to contact Professor Charles, and the Xavier Academy was empty. It was as if that guy had escaped with his students overnight … But Saber knew that this was impossible.
It was impossible for a saintly person like the Professor to leave the civilians behind and escape alone. This unusual move made Saber feel that something was wrong, but in this situation, he had no way to find those strange people. The most important thing was that SHIELD and the city government had started the emergency evacuation of civilians throughout the city since this afternoon. Now the streets were overcrowded. If the government had not dispatched the army in advance to maintain order, I am afraid that this sudden evacuation would have caused unimaginable chaos.
"Still can't find them?"
Strange's figure appeared beside Saber. He looked at the sorcerer, who shook his head with an ugly expression. "They hid too well … There was no trace of them at all. Also, the teleportation circle to Kamar-Taj was cut off. In fact, New York has been blocked in a special way. Ordinary people can still leave, but teleportation magic can no longer be used."
Saber was stunned.
"What about Ancient One? Such a big thing happened, didn't she react? "
"This is what I'm going to say next …"
Strange looked to the northeast.
"The European Congress of Magic's clean-up operation has failed. Although Johnny arrived in time, the counterattack of the hybrids almost destroyed the seals of the two mysterious realms in Northern Europe and Ireland at the same time. The descendants of the Frost Giants and the dragons came out in full force. The Romanian Vampire Church and the Siberian Werewolf Secret Society also joined in. The worst thing is that the positioning circle of the Bifrost Bridge once again appeared in Norway. The Asgard Celestial Palace chose the best time. Europe is now in chaos. The Congress of Magic and the three major magic academies worked together to set up a defense line in Northern France and Eastern Poland.
Strange's voice revealed a touch of helplessness.
"There are only 30 million people here, and there are nearly 1 billion there …"
"So, we have to rely on ourselves? F * ck! "
Saber cursed with a face full of bad luck. "What has she been doing for the past 1000 years? If it were me, I could drive the gods out of this world and clean up the whole world in less than 10 days … Look at the mess she left behind. "
"But you are different from her! Saber! "
Strange took a deep breath. "She's a leader. She can't just do whatever she wants. You, on the other hand, are a warrior. You can kill whoever you don't like. Alright, let's not talk about these depressing things. Have you contacted Tony?"
Saber nodded.
"Tony is with a group of generals in the Department of Defense. He said that he was hired by SHIELD to protect the safety of those big shots. He has no time to help us, but he left us enough weapons and ammunition and a batch of holy water that was made in a hurry."
"Fortunately, you have just cleaned up New York. If it was the previous number of hybrids, coupled with the current situation, there would be no need to fight this war."
"Oh, right!"
Saber thought of something. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "The Heavenly Sword Bureau …"
"Them?"
Strange smiled bitterly. "They're probably the most relaxed group of people. What we're doing now, they've already done it ten years ago. That country is probably the safest place in the world now. They even have the spare energy to help disperse the werewolf tide in Siberia. No god would be arrogant enough to set their sights on that place first. What an enviable strength."
But soon, Strange breathed a sigh of relief.
"But we're not the worst off … Japan has already fallen. I guess you don't know about it yet … The consequence of the people worshipping more gods is that only one-third of the eight million gods and buddhas jumped out in the form of hybrids. Two-thirds of that country has already fallen in less than two days. It's really pitiful when you think about it."
"Hehe, this is probably the only good news in the past two days."
Saber laughed out loud, and the gloominess from before was swept away. "Let's go to the Sanctum … Prepare for battle!"
Just as the preparations were surging, on the other side, in a place that no one would pay attention to, in the basement of Hailmer Mental Hospital in the East Side of New York, a few people were quickly and busily cleaning up the scene by the pool that had become ominous because of the death of a person.
This was the hospital where Isabella had been sent to. In fact, Isabella, who had grown up in New York, had visited almost all the mental hospitals in New York in the first 21 years of her life, and Hailmer Hospital was the place where she had spent the longest time. It was also the place where she had left this world.
This was the sad place of the two Miss Dawsons.
A group of people wearing strange clothes, under the command of a strange person, walked over with Isabella's body on a black pine board. The body was obviously dressed up. She was wearing a female hunting outfit that was popular more than 100 years ago, and her face was also painted with makeup that was not very exquisite. At the place where she fell from the roof into the water, at the bottom of the blue pool, a dark red summoning circle was ready.
"Son of Darkness, we sincerely summon you!"
The slightly shabby summoning ceremony was also a last resort. The Son of Darkness had a lot of believers in New York before, and almost one-third of his subordinates were sent to this city in the form of possession to be the first batch of vanguards after his arrival. Unfortunately, those people were all killed by Saber, and only a few of them were left.
However, with the help of another powerful being, they still completed the mission given by the Son of Darkness. Now, their days of living like rats had come to an end. The best hope for the future, the best hope for these evil lunatics, was right in front of them. Everything would go smoothly once the Son of Darkness arrived.
In this basement that was blocked by a giant concealment circle, the omnipresent darkness surged even more violently the moment Isabella's body sank into the water. In the darkest corner, a familiar figure leaned against the wall. His face was full of struggle and madness. He looked haggard, desolate, and even more decadent. Even his back was bent.
Upon closer look, the guy had a cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth, and he was holding the tip of a dark golden dagger in his hand … Constantine. He had finally returned to the place where everything began.
Of course, if nothing unexpected happened, this would also be the place where everything would end.
