Chapter 191 Pluto Escapes (4k)

After searching around the city to no avail, Clark had no choice but to return home.

"Clark, what's wrong with you?"

Martha looked at her slightly gray-faced son and reached out to help clean the splinters from his hair.

"It's okay, mother. I just met a wizard this morning and had a fight with a moving stone statue."

Speaking of this, Clark sat down a little depressed and prepared to eat the rest of breakfast.

While eating, he waited for news from Batman. Before going home, he sent a message to the alliance headquarters, asking for help in the investigation.

"Batman, this morning a man dressed as a wizard robbed the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the heart of the city. He was suspected of using magic to kill people. He was ecstatic and took away something protected by magic.

I'm afraid he has some conspiracy. Can you help me investigate his identity? "

Thinking of magic, he remembered that David seemed to have picked up a magician's diary. Clark looked at him and recounted what happened this morning.

"Do you have any impression of the magic he used and the stone pillars protected by magic?"

Clark looks to see if he can find any clues about David, but is destined to be disappointed.

"Uh...magic?"

David, who was reading the newspaper on the other side of the table, looked up after finishing his meal.

The magic diary at that time was just an excuse he made up casually to explain why he knew LS Luchi. He knew nothing about magic.

"The Rock of Eternity has the largest museum of magical history in the world."

But there were so many books there that he had no interest in flipping through them to answer Clark's little question.

"If that wizard really has some sweet dream of destroying the earth and ruling the world, he will jump out of it by then."

David's expression showed a bit of boredom, and the attitude he showed made Clark choke.

This is the truth, but how could he just ignore it? He shook his head.

"Waiting for him to jump out on his own initiative, then there may be a big problem. We need to nip the disaster in the bud."

"Good luck to you then."

"Felix Faust was once a moderately successful professor of archeology, but gradually he became interested in occultism and magic. He believed and pursued it too obsessively, and his university expelled him."

After a while, Batman sent a voice message in the alliance's internal chat channel. After receiving Superman's request for help, he and Cyborg immediately obtained the surveillance video of the incident.

With looks, Cyborg is good at it. As long as Mr. Wizard has left traces on the Internet, it will be impossible to hide it from Cyborg.

"He vowed to take revenge on those who mocked him. After a while, several people disappeared inexplicably, and he also disappeared from public view."

"Disappeared?"

At the dinner table, Clark raised his eyebrows, wondering if the clue would be cut off here.

"However, fortunately, this half-way monk does not like to hide in gloomy caves like the legendary old-school wizards. He still lives in the city."

On the other end of the communicator, Batman's fingers brushed against a row of books on the bookshelf, while Cyborg stood aside and looked at the things in the room.

This is a residence filled with ancient objects, a dazzling array of items.

"The Maya, Babylon... you can see almost all the mysterious artifacts of ancient civilizations in the world here."

Cyborg was amazed while comparing those items online.

He picked up a golden scepter with an ancient crystal on the top placed above the fireplace and wanted to test its weight to see if it was a guy.

A bolt of lightning accidentally sparked from the crystal and nearly penetrated the wall.

A few dozen centimeters away, Batman grabbed his cloak in time to block the debris flying like bullets, and looked at Cyborg with a faint look.

Cyborg looked embarrassed and quickly put down his scepter and raised his hands.

"I didn't expect this."

"Be careful, we are facing a wizard."

After Batman reminded him, he searched carefully on the bookshelf again.

"found it……"

His fingers stopped on a few very new classics, and then he glanced at the open books on the desk.

"Hell, Styx, Death..."

These books all deal with the mythical god of death, especially Greek mythology.

With each ominous word, Batman's expression changed and he told Clark what he had discovered.

"Hell, Death?"

Putting down the completely eaten plate, Clark was surprised. What was the wizard looking for related to hell?

"There is a layer of dust on the table. Faust has not been back to this room for a long time."

The pads of his fingers were smeared on the table and covered with a layer of dust. Batman frowned and looked around.

“I’m afraid most of the things in this room are magic items that he has painstakingly collected from all over the world.

What could possibly make him so excited that he would abandon his home and not come back for a long time? "

"What did Faust find? What was he looking for?"

The three of them were very confused.

Ding ding!

Suddenly a message alert sounded.

David, who was holding the newspaper, glanced at the light ring on his hand, the light flashing rapidly.

Someone contacted him urgently through the light ring.

"David, someone has invaded Paradise Island, and my mother sent a message for help."

Diana's voice sounded anxious, accompanied by the sound of sheathing her sword and shield.

"I'll rush to Paradise Island first to see what happens there."

"Paradise Island was invaded?"

When he heard that Paradise Island was attacked, David put down the newspaper in surprise.

Zeus once set up magic to protect Paradise Island from any prying eyes and discoveries, but as time passed, the magic effect weakened.

It wouldn't be surprising if someone found Paradise Island.

But it actually allowed the once proud Amazon Queen Hippolyta to send a distress signal.

"It seems that someone with extraordinary strength has discovered Paradise Island!"

David stood up, remembering what Clark had just said.

"I just mentioned you about Greek mythology, right?"

"Yes...yes, what's wrong? What happened?"

Clark also stood up in a daze.

Something extraordinary seemed to have happened.

"I remember that there is a door to hell underground on Paradise Island."

David narrowed his eyes.

I thought it was a little magician who appeared out of nowhere, but I didn't expect that he would be involved in Paradise Island in the end.

…

"Kill! Destroy the outsiders!"

The brave and skilled Amazon female warrior stood on the high steps of the palace, firing arrows at the invading enemies on the island.

"I admire your courage to not be afraid of death, but what's the use?"

In mid-air, a protective shield appeared around Faust to block the Amazon's arrows that could penetrate the steel plate. He made a strange handprint, and an ancient bronze medal hanging around his neck shone brightly.

The bronze medal depicts the image of a woman with snake hair and a roaring mouth.

All Amazon female warriors who were illuminated by the light froze their movements and turned into roaring stone statues.

Faust's lips were filled with pride.

After finding Paradise Island, he walked along the way, and countless Amazon female warriors turned into stone statues along the way.

This powerful treasure that his master guided him to find, coupled with his magic power comparable to the gods, even the Amazons, the legendary descendants of the gods, could not resist and easily fell at his feet.

"Queen, you finally show up.

It is not too late to put down the sword. "

The last female Amazon warrior retreated hastily, and a woman with an ugly face and a majestic face in battle armor walked out of the palace. It was Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons, Faust said with a smile.

"I know you are more than just the queen of the Amazons.

The master has specifically told you that when he gets out of trouble, he wants to see you as soon as possible. "

“Hades and your news are lagging behind.

I am no longer the king of the Amazon clan. "

Hippolyta sneered, grabbed the bow and arrow of the female warrior next to her, stretched the bow string like a full moon, and shot the arrow like a meteor, causing ripples on Faust's protective shield, but unfortunately it was still not broken.

"Even Ares, the God of War, was no match and was killed by the new king of the Amazons."

"Who did you pass the throne to?

Your daughter? The blood of the great Zeus? "

Thanks to his master, he knew many secrets, Faust sneered indifferently.

"It doesn't matter, no matter who it is, when he returns to Paradise Island, he will face my master, Hades, the Lord of the Underworld!"

After saying that, he quickly activated the treasure in his chest again.

"What does Ares, the God of War, mean?"

The last Amazons and Hippolyta were unable to resist the powerful magic and turned into stone statues.

Beyond the palace.

He walked towards the depths of Paradise Island.

At the end of the huge and cold cave, there is a tall and majestic thick stone door, carved with complicated and dizzying runes, exuding terrifying magic fluctuations that can make the gods tremble.

Faust pulls out three key components that he has found throughout the world.

The three keys are all protected by powerful magic, namely the stone giant, the abyss snake and an environment that can confuse the mind. However, with the power given by Hades, the king of Hades, he easily passed through and got the key.

He stretched out his hand and drew a circle to communicate with Hades on the other side of the door.

"Master, I will let you out right now."

"Hurry up, I have lost count of how many years I have been imprisoned in this prison called Hades."

Hades's roar came from the flames of hell.

Faced with the urging, Faust did not dare to neglect. Three key parts formed a huge stone key, and he inserted it into the magic door pile in front of the door.

Boom!

The runes on the door disappeared, and the door that had been sealed for tens of thousands of years was opened.

The earth rumbled and trembled, and vicious and terrifying tongues of hellfire spurted out from the door, turning everything into lava.

The tall man with a torn cloak and armor, with a cold face exuding a breathtaking domineering air, slowly walked out from the other side of the door. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He looked up to the sky and laughed. Thousands of undead souls were behind him. The shadow roared.

"In the human world, I, Hades, am back!"

The terrifying majesty of the god made Faust suffocate.

…

Just after investigating Faust's residence, Batman and Cyborg were about to return to the alliance headquarters. Cyborg suddenly stopped, his expression changed drastically, and he glanced at the red warning image shot from his wrist.

"There's a global catastrophe happening."

He has set up an early warning mechanism on the Internet, and will search for reminders whenever a disaster occurs.

"What's wrong?"

Batman frowned.

"Near the North Sea in the northeastern part of the Atlantic Ocean, countless dead soldiers suddenly emerged from the sea and marched through the water to kill the countries of Britain, Norway and Denmark. The offensive radiated around the world."

Cyborg panicked and released some images captured by satellites from various countries.

The densely packed dead soldiers, with red eyes and shriveled skin and muscles, looked like dried corpses crawling out of hell. They screamed and crawled out from under the sea. The gray-white sea of ​​people even covered up the original color of the sea, forming a terrifying wave that rushed in all directions. .

At the seaport of London, England, people fled in all directions. The police opened fire in panic. The bullets got stuck in the withered bodies of the dead soldiers, but did not cause much damage. Immediately afterwards, the army of the dead landed and wreaked havoc on the streets of the modern city.

"Faust!"

Batman instantly thought of the clue he had just found.

"Hell, Death..."

"Assemble the members of the alliance and we rush to the center of the disaster. If there is someone or a god who is causing trouble, it must be there!"

He ordered calmly and decisively.

"Let's resolve this matter before that group of dead people who shouldn't exist in this world cause more damage!"

…

"Are you saying that there is a door under the ground in Diana's hometown, and the other end of the door is Hades' Hades?"

Just after leaving the town and flying to Paradise Island, Clark looked shocked as he listened to David's story.

This was not the first time that he encountered something from mythology, such as the ancient demon before.

But Hades is different from other things after all. He is Pluto, the god of death in Greek mythology. He may now appear in the world, which makes people instinctively uneasy.

"A long time ago, the Greek gods had a protracted war with the Titans. During this period, Hades became a traitor and made an agreement with the Titans. As long as he betrayed Olympus, when the incident was completed, it would be full of flowers and houses. From now on, the world of all kinds of creatures will be under his control.”

David opened up and told how it all started.

"He opened the gates of Mount Olympus and let in the Titans, but the gods led by Zeus resisted desperately and won the war."

"Hades, who finally betrayed the gods, was knocked down from Mount Olympus by Zeus and thrown into the underworld. He was punished to guard the cold and dead underworld forever, and was not allowed to take a step. He also blocked the passage connecting the underworld to the human world, and The key was given to Diana’s mother Hippolyta for safekeeping.”

"That stone part that Faust is looking for is the key?"

Clark opened his eyes wide and thought for a moment, feeling everything connected.

"Part of the key, to be precise."

David corrected.

"The underworld is actually the prison where Hades is imprisoned. In order to prevent him from escaping, Zeus broke the key into three pieces and placed them around the world.

But... this is no longer important. "

As he spoke, he paused, his voice lowered, and he stared into the distance.

In the direction of Paradise Island, thousands of miles away on the sea, there is an endless army of the dead with teeth and claws, like weightless evil spirits stepping on the sea water, killing the world.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing David stop suddenly, Clark looked in the direction he was looking, and his expression changed drastically.

"That...that is!"

Millions or tens of millions? No, much more than that!

How many people have died in the world, and how many armies of the dead can be summoned by Pluto Hades? That is a death frenzy that is enough to drown the entire world!

"The passage between hell and the world has been opened, and Hades is out of trouble!"

Above the sky, David's eyes were dim.
