Vol 15 Chapter 16 Doom (Quad)
Tony Stark looked down at the data projected by Jarvis. The outrageous and exaggerated numbers made him almost spill the gin in his hand on the floor.
“Are you sure she’s really human?” Tony couldn’t help asking, his expression as if he saw a mammoth elephant with a deformed head. Or maybe Captain Gorilla suddenly appeared in front of him.
They were standing in a lab that was huge—these words meant it was as big as Central Park. Originally it wasn’t so big, but He Shenyan made a trick to expand the space so that the subjects of the physical examination could exert all their strength.
Carla is running a number of tests at the other end of the lab. On the ground in front of her were many instruments that could be seen as ‘used’ at first glance, such as an iron platform that had been beaten in two, and some kind of fist-strength tester that was still smoking.
“I never said she was human.”
He Shenyan stood beside Tony with his hands behind his back, and when he heard his question, he answered without changing his face. At the same time, she smiled at Kara who looked over.
“So she’s an alien?”
Tony took a sip of gin to suppress his shock, but it didn’t have the desired effect. He drank the wine in one sip, the fragrant and attractive aroma still seemed to remain on the wall of the glass, and the fresh and refreshing wine lifted his spirits.
Slowly, he exhaled.
“I don’t even know if I should be surprised that you brought a very beautiful alien lady and asked me to do her a medical examination – I mean, what’s a good medical examination, huh?”
Tony pointed to the data and said, “Look at the data. I have no doubt that this lady can punch through a skyscraper with her bare hands, or lift my house and fall on me. Based on her strength and speed, conversely, to fight a blow Not to mention ability…Did you find a humanoid Hulk here?”
“It would be rude to her to say that, and the Hulk wouldn’t like you comparing him to others.”
He Shenyan shrugged: “Although Banner is basically in control of the body now, the Hulk still comes out sometimes. You don’t want to be thrown around like Loki, right?”
Tony scratched his cheek unnaturally, but was still stubborn: “I very much believe in the defensive ability of my armor and the ability to identify the truth. There is absolutely no way he could have smashed me like that.”
He was still talking, but He Shenyan beckoned to Kara who was not far away. The Kryptonian girl jumped over half the distance of Central Park and came to them. After doing those tests, there was not even a drop of sweat on her forehead.
Tony looked at her strangely, and that sight made Carla tilt her head in confusion: “What’s the matter, Mr. Stark?”
“…No, nothing.”
Iron Man spread his hands, then raised them high, turned and left like a French who abandoned the glorious tradition in World War II, the cup was held in his hands, and his mouth was still complaining: “He, you are simply in wasting my time.”
When he was far away, Kara asked, “Why does Mr. Stark say you’re wasting his time, Mr. Ho?”
“Don’t mind.”
He Shenyan said briefly, then made a gesture. The huge space began to shrink slowly, and the extended floor was gradually returning to its original appearance. The creaking sound was endless, and even the incandescent lamps above their heads were gradually returning to their original number.
Carla watched this scene with novelty, her eyes were full of brilliance, and she even took out her mobile phone to take a picture of her nostalgia. The mage burst into laughter, and simply slowed down so that she could take a video.
“Is this magic?!” she said excitedly. “It’s amazing!”
magic?
You came here out of nowhere, and it’s amazing that you don’t have any injuries on your body.
He Shenyan sighed: “Okay, Kara. Thank you for your willingness to cooperate with us for a physical examination. Your body is fine and very healthy.”
“By the way, although I don’t know what the metabolic rate of Kryptonians is, you should still gain weight, so if you don’t want to have a small belly, it’s best to eat less junk food and don’t sit all day. playing games…”
“Ah, now you speak in exactly the same tone as Clark.” Kara pursed her lips. “so……”
She asked cautiously: “Can I go back? I don’t think you are bad here! You are very good here, I also saw cars that can fly in the sky, and there are many, many video games that are much more fun than my time. , even the ps is out to 7, but I still want to go home…”
The blue eyes darkened for a moment: “…After all, that’s the only place I can call home now.”
He Shenyan wanted to tell her – tell her immediately.
Yes, I can take you back, and you can go back right away to be reunited with people you know well. A classmate you met at school, your cousin Clark Kent. You can live with them again…
But he can’t.
He couldn’t, because there was one more thing that wasn’t clear.
Carla Kent, Carla Zoelle, why are you here?
Mages don’t believe in coincidences.
Even if she is born, and she doesn’t know that she is a cross-border mage, she is a cross-border mage. Moreover, after getting up one day and feeling excited because she was about to be late, she “accidentally” turned on her cross-border talent.
More importantly, she was still in a coma during this dangerous process. She was in a coma all the way through the endless star sea to reach the world of the mage, and she was completely unconscious in the process. This is equivalent to an ordinary person who fell into the Pacific Ocean, fell asleep accidentally, and landed safely after falling asleep.
How can there be such a coincidence?
She couldn’t be a trans-boundary mage, she knew nothing about magic. He Shenyan could see this, as early as the first time they met, at the moment when she unsuspectingly shook hands with him. He Shenyan scanned her inside and out with his mental tentacles.
The conclusion is that she’s a standard Kryptonian, maybe even stronger than Superman after growing up in the sun for a while.
But she didn’t have any magic power in her body, not at all, and the results of the medical examination proved this more clearly.
Within a few seconds, He Shenyan’s mind was spinning like electricity. On the surface, he nodded with a peaceful smile: “Of course you can go home, Carla. But I have to deal with the little problem of too close the dimensions, I mean, I have to first After the problem is solved, we will be free to send you home.”
Hearing his words, the Kryptonian girl breathed a sigh of relief. The worry just now disappeared, and she returned to her full of vitality again.
“That’s good, Mr. He, I thought I couldn’t go back!”
“I’ll come to you when it’s settled, Kara. You’ll just have to play the game for a few more days and it’ll all work itself out.”
The mage smiled and opened a portal to Kama Taj, however, just after watching her leave, the smile disappeared in an instant.
“Interesting,” he said.
“Whoever has ears, let him hear.”
“I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, and on the ten horns were ten crowns, and on the seven heads was a blasphemous name.”
“The dragon they worshiped gave power to the beast, and they worshiped the beast again and said—”
Strange closed the heavy book and frowned: “—who can be stronger than this beast?”
“I never knew you were interested in the Bible. When did you become a Christian, Strange?”
He Shenyan’s voice echoed in the library of the Holy of Holies, followed by the sound of his footsteps. The mage walked between the bookshelves with his hands behind his back. Strange was floating above his head, with a distressed expression and a scarlet book in his hand.
Seeing the book, He Shenyan raised his eyebrows.
“Doom… how did you get this book out?” he asked.
“You actually know this is the Book of Destruction? I just read it from the thirteenth verse of Revelation in the Bible.”
Strange Shi Shiran returned to the ground and handed the scarlet book in his hand to He Shenyan. It let out a reluctant shriek, but when it was picked up, it was silent again.
“I’ve read every book in Kama Taj and even in the Sanctuary, Strange. I know it’s nothing unusual, and I’ve read it a dozen times.”
He Shenyan lowered his head and opened the Destruction Record, the book itself was resisting his reading. It wants the mage to let it go, but it can only think about it.
His hands opened it with unquestionable force, and a whimpering sound, mixed with the choking smell of sulphur, poured out from between the open pages. Strange frowned: “Can’t you show more respect for this ancient book?”
“It’s made of human skin, bound with human bones, and written in human blood. Strange, I respect it if I don’t burn this thing. But you, what did you take this thing out for? ”
He Shenyan asked casually while flipping through the Destruction Record, and the book screamed again, full of pain.
So he moved his hands to the edge of the page and made a look of tearing it in half, and the screams of Doomsday stopped immediately. The sulphurous smell was gone, too, and it sat quietly in his hands.
Strange rubbed his eyebrows, reached out and took a glass of ice water for himself from the air, and then drank it. He gritted his teeth and let out a breath of cold air before slowly opening his mouth.
However, He Shenyan stopped him.
He held up a finger, and Doom floated up, the pages turned.
It began to tremble, trembling frantically, and the pages kept turning like a gust of wind was blowing. The black smoke and the choking smell of sulfur filled the entire library again, and with the sound of some kind of heavy door being opened, the pages of the book were frozen on one page.
He Shenyan stared at that page.
reads above.
“Everything you love will die. The Lord will come, and then everything will end with you. Sinner, repent.”
The Spirit of the Holy of Holies floated silently down from the ceiling, watching him.
Then, a voice sounded in the book.
“You can’t escape, you can’t go, Mage. We’ve found you.”
He Shenyan narrowed his eyes.
There is a fact that is widely circulated among the Kama Taj wizards, which is one of the reasons why they are not interested in any belief. The Book of Destruction is an evil book that appeared in the eleventh century, with human skin as the base, human bones bound, and written in human blood.
In a long time, it caused countless disasters. Many people died because of it, and some even left traces in history. For example, the plague of the Black Death, which occurred from 1347 to 1353, claimed the lives of 25 million Europeans, which accounted for one-third of the European population at the time.
However, there are many more catastrophes that are too horrific to even survive in history. It will bewitch the mortals who pick it up, making them step by step the most depraved and terrifying creatures. However, their hearts were not half polluted.
Like the man who caused the plague to die thinking he was saving everyone from the devil, that they would go to heaven, and he was the one leading the way.
Did they go to heaven?
went.
Because the Book of Destruction was written by the angels. And if he remembered correctly, the angels in this world died a long time ago.
The sound continued.
“There’s nothing you can do, no one can help you, and no one can save you—”
“—Do you always have to say the same old sayings?”
He Shenyan laughed.
“It’s always like, um, I’m getting calluses in my ears.”
“‘Everyone you hold dear will die! Your world will be destroyed by us! And you can only watch from the sidelines!’, I don’t know who you are, but I can probably guess Until you’re one of those winged bastards, right?”
The voice roared angrily: “blasphemy! How dare you—”
“—I just dare, but you can’t do anything against me. If you have the means to deal with me, you can come directly at me, without needing to detour, and pick those people or things that I protect. And according to My experience, generally speaking, people who do this, or **** like you, are pathetic.”
He smiled happily: “I mean, you’re not just a bastard, you’re a weak poor bastard, do you understand?”
The voice made a roar of filial piety again angrily, however, before he had time to answer, He Shenyan closed the book.
The smile on his face did not disappear, but grew stronger and stronger. Strange looked up at the Spirit of the Sanctuary and said to her, “Okay, venerable guardian. It looks like we’re going to start a war.”
“War?” she asked suspiciously. “What war?”
“No, not this time, Strange.”
He Shenyan raised his hand to stop him: “I know, you probably think ‘Ah, he’s about to start again’ when you see my expression, but this time is different. There is no war this time.”
“……What do you want to do?”
“This is my business.” He Shenyan said calmly.
“They came for me – so it’s not a war, and if there were, I’d turn it into a slaughter. Keep track of that gypsy, Strange, let me know as soon as there’s progress, I There’s a hunch behind this and… no, nothing.”
He lowered his head and glanced at the Destruction Record in his hand, and weighed it thoughtfully.
After a long time, he said, “Strange, what do you think of world travel?”
