Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

Chapter 312 23. The clue that was almost missed

"So that's why you guys came to me?"

Seber drank his tea slowly, and turned to look at Angela and Father Hannessy who were sitting opposite him, "Because your sister may believe in a certain son of an evil god, or is her death related to this son of an evil god?"

His fingers danced on the table,

"Listen to me, Angela, this matter has nothing to do with me now, there is another organization that has taken over this responsibility, so you should go to them."

He looked at Angela,

"Also, if you say that you have found the mastermind behind the scenes but you can't get rid of it, then if I am in a good mood, I will help you. You say that you don't want to find it anymore and want to return to a mortal life, I will bless you, only I'm not interested in hearing these things, I'm not interested in being a detective, trying to figure things out... Listen girl, I'm a very simple person, I prefer to solve problems directly, you know what I mean ?”

Angela nodded. After personally killing Basazzo, the former police detective grew up at an astonishing speed. In just one night, he had a calmness beyond his years, coupled with superb Talent, this future will definitely be a very good fighter, but Saibo has no idea of ​​recruiting her.

He knew very well that at least until Isabella's matter was resolved, it was impossible for Angela to leave New York with him. Frankly speaking, Seber had no interest in this matter.

The relationship between him and Angela is not good enough to help her through life and death. Angela gave him the information he needed. He untied Angela's shackles and gave her a different future. It was cleared up, and it was even said that Saibo made a loss-making deal, and he paid obviously more.

"So where should we go for help?"

Father Hannessy, who was more stable, said, "Papa Midnight's bar has been destroyed. If he is still there, we can find him. Now...we have nowhere to go."

Hearing this, Saber shrugged, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes,

"There is always a way, it's just to see if you can find it... Go to Greenwich Village, if you are lucky, you will find someone who can help you, their strength is much stronger than mine."

Showing people the way is just a piece of cake, and Saibo doesn't mind giving them hope. After Angela and Father Hannessy left, he was lying on the roof of the villa, basking in the sun comfortably. It's the last day in New York, Sergey and the others have already returned to Gotham, and Seber will return to his hometown tomorrow.

The half-breeds were frightened by the massacre, and they all ran away. What Seber should have done has been done, and a beautiful time of peace has come. He doesn't mind experiencing the leisurely pace of life in the gap.

But just 2 hours later, a portal opened silently in the hall behind Seber. Strange, with a serious face, walked to the balcony, looked at Seber who had fallen asleep, and stretched out his hand in the hall. He patted on the shoulder, and the next moment he was hit by a huge force on his chest, and his whole body was pinned to the ground.

"boom"

There was a loud noise, and when Sable opened his eyes in a daze, he saw that he was stuck on Strange's neck. Doctor Strange was struggling frantically, but he couldn't break free from his restraint. Doctor Strange let go, and said lazily,

"It is very dangerous to approach a person with beast sense rashly... You should be glad that I don't have claws or other sharp things in my hands..."

To be honest, Strange was taken aback by the swift attack just now. It was hard to imagine that it was just an instinctive counterattack. He couldn't help touching his neck.

"Okay, I'll say hello in advance next time, I'm here to ask you something."

Seber took out a glass of juice with ice from the refrigerator, and looked at Strange while drinking, "What's the matter?"

"About this symbol!"

Strange took out a piece of paper from his arms, on which was a dark red emblem with a cross and a circle superimposed on it, and placed it in front of Saibo, "Did you see it when you expelled those mixed races?"

"Uh...no."

Saibo rubbed his forehead and lay down on the sofa, "At least I haven't seen it, what's the matter, is there anything wrong with this symbol?"

Doctor Strange put away the paper, turned around and took out a glass of juice for himself from the refrigerator,

"Well, it's not sure if this is a problem, but about an hour ago, the girl named Angela who was with you entered the sanctuary, and she claimed that her sister died of a demon-possessed During the accident, Mage Hognis took it very seriously, and later we discovered this symbol...the symbol of Mammon, judging by what this guy has done in the past 300 years..."

Strange sighed and said irritably,

"This is likely to be a sign of a long-planned cross-border incident. Hell, these things can't be dealt with, and I plan to travel to Europe with Palmer in a few days, and now it looks like I will be busy for a long time. "

"Crossing the line?"

Saibo's expression became weird, "It's similar to the witch heart demon incident? These bastards still want to enter the human world?"

"Well, almost."

Strange nodded, and then patiently explained,

"You already know that because of the existence of the supreme mage, those gods and demons can only enter the world as the carrier of the soul descending, that is, those hybrids. I probably know about the transgression you dealt with in Las Vegas, Wu Xin The demon obviously forcibly rushed into the present world from the border of hell...so its threat will be greater."

"But judging from this incident, Mammon, the Son of Darkness, planned an ordinary descent. Angela's sister, the girl named Isabella, should be the carrier he chose for himself. To be honest, this This kind of thing happens every day, but unlike other demons, Mammon is obviously more threatening."

"Oh? How to say?"

Sable was interested in these gossips, but he wanted to listen to stories more, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, looking at Strange, "Come on, tell me a story about this bastard."

Strange took out a quaint silver pocket watch from his pocket, looked at the time,

"Well, well, we still have 20 minutes, enough to finish."

After speaking, he cleared his throat,

"Mamen...calls himself the Son of Darkness. He is actually very similar to the Witch Heart Demon you killed last time. I mean the origin. The Witch Heart Demon is the child of Mephisto, and Mammon is... Lucifer's children, uh, are not born naturally, Lucifer is one of the rulers of hell, and mammon is born with his sin, more like an incarnation."

Doctor Strange's fingers drew an ugly devil image in the air, which looked like an ordinary walking corpse, except for the dark energy wrapped all over his body.

"Look, this is what it is, it's ugly, and this guy's own strength is not worth mentioning, but his ability is weird, Mamen crossed the line 7 times in history, and each time it was accompanied by large-scale riots and turmoil, he He can easily influence people's hearts, arouse desires, and distort people's inner moral and legal concepts, and the crime we know is his best weapon."

Strange sipped the juice, leaned on the sofa,

"This is still an extremely narcissistic conspirator. It is said that in the "Hell Bible" circulated in hell, he called himself "the king of the future and the present". He said that he would transcend the cowardice of the masters of hell and reopen the road to The gate of the present world, and then lead a group of demons to capture this world, a very arrogant guy."

Saber nodded knowingly,

"Uh... a disseminator of instability, no wonder the old man attaches so much importance to it, so what are you going to do? Just kill him?"

Strange scratched his hair,

"Uh, no! We plan to purify Isabella's body directly, and erase all uncertain factors before he descends on that poor girl... It's been an eventful time recently, and who knows that Mammon's transgression will happen at this time What kind of consequences will be caused when you are sensitive, so be careful."

"I came to you for this purpose."

Strange tapped his fingers on the table, "We have to make sure that Mammon has no other carriers besides Isabella."

"It should be gone."

Saibo rubbed his chin, "All the bastards have run away. By the way, is there anything special about this carrier that carries the souls of gods and demons? And that damn ritual."

"For ordinary demons and holy spirits, there are no restrictions, but for a special demon like Mammon, the steps for them to select a carrier are very complicated, otherwise it is impossible for them to descend only 7 times in 300 years."

Strange stood up, patted his clothes,

"I'm just doing my best. In fact, Master Hognis doesn't think that Mammon will be lucky enough to find two carriers that can carry his soul at the same time. Well, the matter is over. I should go back. You go back to Gotham tomorrow and I I won’t send you off, monitoring those magic and wonders recently made my head explode.”

"A strange thing? What is that?"

Seb sent Strange to the balcony and asked curiously, "Something weird?"

"To be precise, it's something that's not fun!"

Strange curled his lips, "Some items made by powerful mages, or items that come out of gods and demons, need to be monitored. Once they fall into the hands of talented mortals, it will cause a lot of trouble. In fact, There are many strange objects around the world, and most of Karma Taj's power is used to monitor the existence of these strange objects."

"for example?"

Seber asked a question, Strange stopped and pondered for a moment,

"For example, the alchemy stone of Nicholas Flamel... We generally call it the Philosopher's Stone. In folklore, it is said that this thing can make people live forever, but in fact its effect is more terrifying than longevity. The Philosopher's Stone is called It is used to suppress the secret realm where the descendants of the Nordic frost giants live, once it is stolen, the Nordics will be devastated in an instant."

"For example, Merlin's "Book of Beasts", the holy book of the Druid sect, is said to come from the extinct Celtic gods. It can give ordinary people the power to lead and incarnate beasts. It doesn't sound threatening, right? But think Thinking about it, if that guy drives the dragon hiding in the secret place of Ireland to attack the human world, or a fire-breathing dragon appears on the streets of Manhattan...that would be another disaster."

Strange rubbed his forehead,

"The thing was sealed in the sanctuary in London before, but now it is placed in New York, and Master Hognis personally guards it. In fact, the "Book of Solomon" can be regarded as a magical wonder, and it contains enough seals and knowledge. Orthodox mages learn, and there is also a magic circle that summons seventy-two pillars of gods and demons, but it is not as strong as it sounds, it is more of a symbol of knowledge."

"It sounds boring, just like a toy."

Saibo curled his lips, "Don't you have anything more powerful?"

"More powerful?"

Strange scratched his hair, "Does the Spear of Destiny count? The spear that stabbed Christ is said to be able to subdue all things within 120 feet. When held by a powerful psychic, it can still Open all the restrictions in this world, it can be called the most terrifying weapon in myths and legends... Wait!"

Doctor Strange's expression suddenly became strange. He seemed to remember something. He took a step back and sat on the chair that Seber had placed there. He was grabbing the hair on both sides of his forehead vigorously, looking more and more irritable. It's like suddenly thinking of something disturbing.

After a while, he suddenly turned to look at Saibo,

"You said, this thing has disappeared for decades, but it suddenly appeared at this time, coupled with its weird ability, wouldn't it be a bit too coincidental?"

"oh?"

Seber snorted, and patted Strange on the shoulder with a strange expression, "If you have to ask me, I'd say... there probably isn't a real coincidence in this kind of thing, it seems You guys are in big trouble, please allow me to make a sad face."
