"Look at him, he's so much like me!"
Old Carter sat in his newly bought villa, hugging his youngest son with a blissful look on his face. He was so satisfied that it was as if he was hugging heaven. His wife was busy preparing lunch for the family in the kitchen. Of course, she also had to prepare a portion for an uninvited guest.
Saber sat opposite Carter. Looking at Old Carter, who was like a salted fish, he said softly,
"So, you plan to spend the rest of your life in Gotham like this?"
"Then, what do you plan to do with these old bones of mine?"
Old Carter rolled his eyes. "I don't have any power left. Other than Gotham's little hell, where do you want me to go to find a place where I can live forever? I still want to watch my son grow up, and watch my grandson grow up. "
"First, I want to correct a wrong view of yours!"
Saber smiled and stretched out a finger, waving it in front of Carter's eyes. "Gotham's little hell won't guarantee you eternal life. It will only allow you to live a few decades longer than an ordinary person. That's all. Also, you're different from the others. As long as you're willing, I can immediately give you another Ghost Rider contract. You can continue to enjoy that kind of fast life."
He leaned back on the sofa leisurely and took out a cigar. However, when he saw the sleeping child, he put the cigar back. He coughed softly.
"That bastard Mephisto left me some legacies. I just found them in the ruins of Old Hell. Those vengeful spirits have completely gone mad, and I can't wake them up. However, it's not a problem to guarantee the legacy of Ghost Rider. How about it? Do you want a shot? "
"Ah! You'd better spare me! "
Old Carter snorted. "Who would want to come into contact with that thing? Get it as far away from me as possible! Alright, alright, let's get down to business. "
The old man placed his son in a carefully made cradle at the side and went to the balcony with Saber. The two old smokers smoked happily and talked about the important matters.
"There is no doubt that the Cybertans can accept demonization!"
Carter Slay took a deep breath of smoke and exhaled it all out in a carefree manner. He said in a deep voice, "When I left, that truck robot even invited me to join the Botan faction. He said that Ghost Rider would become the best comrade-in-arms of the Cybertron warriors, but I declined. I recommended Johnny and Robbie to them. I wonder how their interactions went."
"Johnny refused."
Saber replied, "His and his little cutie's first daughter is about to be born. That guy doesn't have the time to go to other planets to fight for his life. To be honest, Johnny is resisting that power more and more. He wants to live a normal life, so in a few years, I might take back his Knight rights."
He looked up at Old Carter.
"The Cybertans are an important combat force for the Earth Federation in the future. We can't let them escape our control. Therefore, I want to use Ghost Rider's demonization ability to tie them to the Earth Federation's war chariot. But to do this, we need at least the same number of Ghost Riders as them. It's best if we have one Cybertron and one Knight."
"I have a job for you, Old Carter … Help me find humans who have the potential to be Knights and who agree with Earth's civilization. The rule that there can only be one Knight per era has long been outdated. I need many Knights now. I need a Knight Order … Do you understand what I mean?"
"Hiss …"
Old Carter gasped in shock at Saber's words. He smoked in silence for a while before saying, "It's not impossible.
"Theoretically, it's not impossible. But to be honest, you're a complete knight now. You know how painful it is to have your Soul Fire burning your flesh. This kind of person is destined to be rare. We have to prepare for a long time. But look, I'm already old. I'm almost 300 years old this year. I don't have much time left."
"Swoosh."
A green Demon Stone was thrown into Carter's hand. Saber's figure had already disappeared from the spot.
"Crush it, and you can live for another 100 years. I'll give you an extra piece for every one I find. But you have to think carefully, Carter. Eternal life is torture, especially when you still have a happy family!"
"Hehehe …"
Old Carter held the Demon Stone in satisfaction. He walked into the living room and looked at his sleeping son. He broke off a small piece of the stone in his hand. With the help of his wife, he ground it into powder and mixed it into his son's mouth.
"Who said I'm going to use it for myself? Look, an important mission that can be passed down for a thousand years. From now on, every generation of the Carter family will live an unusually long life and enjoy all the riches in the world. I don't think this is a curse … "
"By the way, I remember meeting a unique girl at Gotham Harbor a few days ago … What's her name again? Right! "
"Aliandra Jones! She'll be a good Knight … Tsk tsk, another 100 years. What a win-win business! "

"So, you called me here because you're fully prepared?"
The white-haired Doctor Strange approached Saber's villa. His appearance was still young and handsome. His white hair did not diminish his charm. Instead, it gave him a special temperament. Coupled with the tranquil senses brought about by his hard work in magic, it was said that Mr. Strange had now become the most popular handsome man in Kamar-Taj, which made his wife, Dr. Kristen, very distressed.
She received letters from admirers from all over the world almost every day. There were also flowers and some weird magic stuff. Fortunately, the original playboy had now become a devoted man. The couple was now in a good relationship. It was said that their first child might be born in the next three years.
Well, this was the result of Strange's prophecy that could see through time.
Facing Strange's question, Saber shook his head. The black and white light in his hand calmly surged. He said softly, "The Ancient One is different from the others.
"Ancient One's situation is not the same as others. She used her future to forcibly drive the Reality Gem. It can be said that in the future timeline, she shouldn't exist. If I forcibly resurrect her, it will be tantamount to breaking the balance … Not only myself, but even the world will be affected.
"But you must have a way, right?"
Doctor Strange sat opposite Saber and took out two bottles of quaint wine from the space. "1723 pure cultivator red wine, would you like a glass?"
"Yes."
Seiber nodded and allowed Strange to fill his glass. After the two of them drank a glass of wine, Seiber continued, "I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not.
"Without affecting the balance, we can only use a trick to resurrect the Ancient One."
"Since she doesn't exist in the future, we will cut a part of the past and form a closed circle on the timeline!"
Saber's finger drew a circle in the air. "One second she exists, the next she will disappear, but at the same time she will reappear … Do you understand what I mean?"
"Of course I understand."
Strange closed his eyes and said, "The flow of the river of time, but this is risky. Once there is a problem, the timeline will collapse."
"Balance! The focus is on balance! My friend. "
Saber patted Strange on the shoulder and whispered, "The Time Gem can perfectly make up for the missing fragment of time. I will use the Balance of All Things to fill her future. As long as we can grasp the balance, this matter is actually very simple … But just as the resurrection of others has a price, the resurrected Ancient One will no longer be the powerful Sorcerer Supreme. She will just be an ordinary person …"
"That's enough!"
Doctor Strange opened his eyes. His eyes were full of gentleness. "She has given too much to this world. It's time for her to rest for a while."
"That's what I want to say too."
Saber snapped his fingers. "Then, I'll leave the matter of intercepting the time fragment to you. Be patient and don't take risks. We have enough time and must do it perfectly!"
"Well, okay, I will act with Little Barry … With his ability to travel through the timeline, this work will be much easier."
Strange agreed. The plan had been perfected, and the pressure in the hearts of the two people was reduced a lot. After drinking two bottles of wine from the past, Strange suddenly said.
"Saber, when I had nothing to do, I tried to see your future. I have to say that you may face a strange thing next. I can't say more about the specific news, but you'd better be prepared to fight in another timeline for a long time. Also … If you have time, let Catherine and Barry get in touch more. Believe me, you will need her help in the future."
As soon as Doctor Strange's voice fell, the smiling Saber in front of him suddenly disappeared. This scene made Strange laugh. He shook his head and said to the empty air.
"Look, what I said came …"
"Hula!"
A second ago, he was still drinking, and the next second, he fell directly from the dark sky. Saber subconsciously summoned his power and hovered in the dark sky. He turned his head and looked around. There was nothing in the surrounding air, just like an empty world.
He suddenly thought of something and hurriedly took out something from his storage fan. It was the black medal that represented the King of Gladiators. At this time, it was already scorching hot. Obviously, the bet between Gao Tianzun and Babatos had begun.
"Hey! My Gladiator King, I heard that you just killed Thanos? Well done! I knew you could do it … but now we're not talking about that. You should already know that the bet has begun. Babatos caught me off guard, so I can only tell you something by leaving a message. "
"Next, listen to me carefully!"
"This is another timeline that we created specifically for the bet. Remember, you don't exist in this timeline. Everything will develop according to the established rules. Here, your friends will not be your friends, and your enemies will not be your enemies. Those who have died are still alive, and those who are still alive might have died. In short, don't let your thoughts affect your judgment …"
"Your strength is definitely enough to deal with whatever happens next, but some things can't be solved by relying on strength. Just like a maze, you have to rely on yourself to solve it. This is the kind of bet I hate the most, but there's no other way. Babatos is good at this."
"As for the winning rules of the bet … I can't say too much at the moment, but I believe that as time goes on, you will definitely find some clues. Remember, protect those important characters and don't let the story develop according to Babatos's design. Use your intelligence and strength to break it! Disrupt the development of things! Let us turn from passive to active! "
"Lastly, this is a bet with great rewards. Since you've reached a single universe, you're qualified to be on the gambling table. I bet that you'll win, but just like what we've said, if you lose … you'll be trapped in this timeline forever … Of course, I'll save you! Trust me! "
"Treat it as a game, Saber. No matter how difficult the situation is, don't forget the true meaning of the bet. We're doing this for the joy of winning, not for the victory!"
"Also, if there's a chance … Help me beat up Babatos. Kick his butt hard!"
"That's it … Game, start!"
Boom!
The scene before Saber's eyes suddenly separated, and he was thrown from the stars into this familiar yet unfamiliar Earth by a huge force. Passing through the clouds, he drew a beautiful trail in the darkness. Saber's body didn't need wings and could fly slowly in the air. He wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he observed his landing spot.
Unexpectedly, he landed in a place he was very familiar with … the place where his story began.
The place that was forever shrouded in darkness … Gotham!
Boom!
Saber's figure landed on the dilapidated pier of Gotham. He strolled through the night and walked into the familiar streets. At the location of the Old Gun Bar, he raised his head and saw a vulgar nightclub. Drunkards were lying in a mess outside the door, obviously high on drugs. There were also some slutty dancers getting close to the customers as if no one else was around.
Outside the nightclub, there were some traces of the Old Gun Bar. It seemed like a long time had passed.
Bang!
One of the hooligans was lifted into the air by Seiber's neck. Seiber stared at him coldly. Just the murderous aura around Seiber was enough to make the hooligan tremble in fear.
"Where did Christian Teach go?"
"Ah! Don't kill me … I'll tell you, I'll tell you. Old Teach is dead. He died two years ago. He died in an assassination planned by Jamie's gang. That old man was a good man, but he wasn't willing to submit to Jamie. The police couldn't save him … "
Bang!
In the next moment, the ground of Gotham shook. The most luxurious nightclub in the pier area was completely destroyed by the Heavenly Fire that fell from the sky. Every single person, every single trace of evil, every single spot of darkness was crushed into powder by a huge force in an instant. It represented the endless anger from another timeline.
Death and destruction came so suddenly and with such explosive force!
In the wreckage of the Heavenly Fire, Saber casually threw away the hooligan's bones that had been burned to the ground. He walked into the ruins and found the familiar Old Springfield. Those dregs took it as a trophy of war. How evil …
Swoosh!
A dark figure silently appeared behind Saber in the darkness illuminated by the Heavenly Fire of Destruction. He turned around and looked at the familiar bat coat and the familiar yet unfamiliar Batman.
Amidst the raging flames, he picked up Old Haruta, who had been burned beyond recognition, with his left hand as if he was holding a treasure. He carried Old Haruta on his shoulder, and a sinister smile appeared on his face as he said softly:
"Bruce Wayne … You! You let down this city! "
