Me and countless me.

Chapter 639 Book of Death
While it's not uncommon for Li Ke to gain favor from powerful figures across the multiverse right from the start, like the one in Marvel, this is truly the first time Li Ke has been so quickly exposed.

So Li Ke spoke up somewhat nervously.

"Um, by the way, why do you like me? And how did you find out about me?"

Li Ke really wanted to figure out if this was caused by the fate of that damned Yin Emperor, which is why she asked the question so seriously.

The gothic girl took a step back, somewhat disappointed that Li Ke didn't intend to sleep with her right now. After all, she had a feeling that if she could be with Li Ke, she would get something she had longed for.

However, because of her fondness for Li Ke, she still answered Li Ke's question.

"Well, to be honest, you are a very special person, and the comics you draw are very interesting, and they have attracted some death power. But I feel that you attracted death power because of your constitution. No matter how much other people understand death, they would never be able to do such a thing."

Li Ke: "…………"

Is it really because of the power of death triggered by the power of the Underworld Emperor?

"So, if I don't create the Book of the Dead, you won't be able to see me?"

At this point, Death revealed a charming smile.

“Strictly speaking, yes, but I can sense you whenever you cause death, like the billions of deaths you caused last night with that woman named Selena…”

Li Ke quickly covered the other person's mouth to prevent them from saying anything more terrible.

After all, there was Zatanna before, and the killings she caused were even greater.

Death's eyes were full of mischief; it even kissed Li Ke's fingers and bit Li Ke's little finger, making a coquettish gesture.

"So, do you believe I'm dead now? Want to try it? I really like you, and I don't think having other women makes a difference, since they can't be like me..."

The moment he spoke, death embraced Li Ke.

Li Ke instantly tasted the flavor of death, but it wasn't the softness of the girl before him, but rather the profound feeling of death itself.

Everything returns to nothingness, everything is a feeling of annihilation, that is the taste of death, the feeling of death. Death wants to make Li Ke its own. If Li Ke accepts, then the concept of death will no longer exist for him in this material world. He will exist until the universe is annihilated, until the next universe opens, and he will reappear in the new world along with death.

But at that time, he will be completely bound to the DC multiverse and will never be able to leave it again.

But at that moment, a glimmer of light appeared in the darkness, and then everything regained its color, allowing Li Ke to stand in death, no, or rather, in nothingness.

The light emanating from him illuminated the darkness, revealing the death of the gothic girl, and behind her, the image of a scythe-wielding grim reaper appeared.

However, it was still that gothic girl who spoke, the true embodiment of death. At this moment, the other person's face showed astonishment, staring at the man before her in disbelief.

"You actually possess the qualities of a creator?"

Death found this hard to believe; even she only possessed the ability to create life when the world was destroyed, and she did not have this ability under normal circumstances.

But now, Li Ke, a mere mortal, an existence whose power is insignificant in the multiverse, actually possesses the status and spirituality of a creator, and in such a way...

weak.

It wasn't that she looked down on Li Ke, but rather that in this multiverse, the power Li Ke currently possessed was truly insufficient. There were many people capable of destroying a universe single-handedly, and Li Ke's current power was simply not worthy of this authority and status.

"It seems I have to protect you properly."

Death's finger gently touched Li Ke's chest, transferring a portion of its power to him.

"I grant you the power to protect others. In this universe, those you care about will no longer die or become disabled, nor will they become frail due to old age. So hurry up and increase the power around you."

As the words of death were spoken, a strange fluctuation flashed through the world, and in an instant, Li Ke sensed it—

Batman, Bruce Wayne, has received his blessing!
Then came Selena and Zatanna.

die:"…………"

She stared at Li Ke in astonishment, her eyes involuntarily twitching upwards in a mischievous smile, before speaking softly.

"If you like men, I can actually become a man too..."

Her expression clearly indicated that she thought Li Ke was a strange man, but it was impossible for someone of her level of strength not to know why Li Ke cared so much about Batman.

Li Ke: "…………"

Li Ke casually dispelled the protection he had given Bruce, since the latter didn't need it at all and it would only hinder his growth. He then looked seriously at the death before him.

"So, what is the price?"

Everything comes at a price. Although death, as a powerful being, can act arbitrarily, Li Ke doesn't think he won't pay the price for it.

"The price is that many people will come looking for you, such as the Sangu Demon, who will start searching for you and trying to figure out why I favor you. Moreover, because of my favor towards you, the world will also tilt towards you. To put it simply, you will have no shortage of trouble in the future."

Death chuckled and shrugged, then kissed Li Ke's lips, his gaze fixed intently on her.

"So now we don't need to say those useless things anymore, right?"

Li Ke simply shrugged.

"It seems so." So, Li Ke began discussing a multi-billion dollar deal with Death, while things were changing in Gotham.

"What is this? The Book of the Dead? Whose prank is this?"

Under the influence of unseen rules, a man named Falcone obtained the notebook. He had never heard of the recently popular Book of the Dead, after all, he never believed in such supernatural things, and besides, he had more important things to do recently.

Fill in the blanks.

He wanted to seize all the businesses of those who had lost the protection of the owls, and even replace some of the dead members of the Court of Owls, so he was eager to eliminate many people at this moment.

Therefore, he has no free time at all, let alone time to read anything relaxing, especially comics. If a comic could be adapted into an opera, he, who is respectfully called a Roman, might still read it, but right now he has no idea.

Just then, his son walked over and saw the Book of the Dead in Falcone's hand, and his eyes lit up.

"Father, are you planning to acquire the company of that man named Li Ke?"

Alberto has always wanted to be involved in Falcone's work, and therefore he is eager to get involved in underworld affairs.

But like most other underworld families, even someone as powerful as Falcone, who essentially controlled half of Gotham's underworld, did not want his son to follow in his footsteps.

His rival Romani was the same way; the two leaders of Gotham's biggest gangs tacitly kept their underworld feuds confined to their own generation and showed no intention of spreading them.

Therefore, upon seeing Alberto ask that question, Falcone disdainfully threw away the Book of the Dead in his hand, then coldly stared at his son, before looking at the words on the Book of the Dead and letting out a disdainful sneer.

“I’ve told you so many times, Alberto, don’t meddle in family matters. How many times has this happened? Do you think that whoever I write in this notebook called the Book of the Dead will die? How many times have you tried to use this method to get my permission to work for the family? I’ve said it so many times, my child Alberto isn’t some low-level assassin! Now take your toys and get out!”

After Falcone finished speaking, he raised his hand and threw the Book of the Dead into Alberto's hands. His son was very aggrieved. Falcone knew that doing this would hurt his son's feelings, but his son was really disappointing, so he could only do this.

But just as Alberto instinctively grabbed the Book of the Dead, he froze for a moment and instinctively cried out.

"Father! This..."

"There's nothing more to say! Get out!"

Falcone waved his hand impatiently. He was at a critical moment. The Venta had fallen, the Court of Owls was finished, and everything now proved one thing.

The God of Gotham is bleeding!
Falcone now strongly suspects that the guy called Batman is Bruce Wayne's doing. Otherwise, why would there suddenly be a non-killing Batman after an extreme Batman and those Court of Owls died together?

Isn't this just a new king taking the throne, purging out those ministers who pose a threat to him, and then facing the remaining ministers who pose no threat with a gentle face?

However, this also precisely exposed the weakness of the Wayne Group!
Because if killing those Court of Owls doesn't harm Wayne Enterprises at all, then the gentle Batman won't appear, and the crazy Batman will continue to appear!

Instead of seizing this opportunity while Gotham's God is bleeding and healing his wounds, he's developing himself to the point where he can threaten Gotham's God. Why wait until the new king takes the throne and wipes him out? He doesn't think that the little boy king whose parents died in front of him because of a robbery would have any goodwill towards the underworld!
Therefore, he didn't look at his son at all, his eyes filled with excitement and the joy of wanting to make him proud after he succeeded!

Alberto quickly grabbed the Book of the Dead and left his father's room. He didn't know where his father had gotten it, but he felt it was intentional! His father deliberately gave it to him without knowing what was inside!
My father wanted to cultivate me, which is why he gave this to me!

Stroking the cover of the Book of the Dead, Alberto trembled with excitement, and then opened the Book of the Dead in his room.

The moment it was opened again, the same information appeared in Alberto's mind as before.

'The person whose name is written will be killed; if the method of death is written, it will be done in that manner if possible. However, the deceased's appearance or identity must be known, otherwise it will be invalid.'

Those who commit murder must be prepared to be killed themselves.

'Your fate will take unpredictable turns, and every person you kill may bring terrible consequences.'

'Attempting to kill innocent and kind people will have incalculable consequences.'

'Those who also possess the Book of the Dead can interfere with the manner of death described in the Book of the Dead.'

'Once you kill someone using the Book of the Dead, you can never get rid of it unless it leaves you on its own!'

Upon hearing the final piece of news, Alberto spoke excitedly.

"Who would want to lose this!"

Alberto excitedly took out his pen, intending without hesitation to write his name on the cover of the Book of the Dead. However, he stopped just as he was about to write, and instead opened the Book of the Dead and wrote a name in the notebook.

Sal Maroni.

Falcone's greatest enemy, and a backup plan prepared by Gotham's elite to counterbalance Alberto, is why he desperately wants to kill this guy in his father's place, so that his father can completely control everything in Gotham's underworld!
Alberto chose to kill him by falling from a building in full view of everyone!

The scratching of his pen was followed by a sudden wave of irritation as he pondered in his office how to sharpen his claws in front of Wayne while defeating Alberto.

Maroney stood up, somewhat agitated. He couldn't understand why his gang members and henchmen were so foolish as to want to kill Bruce Wayne, then Falcone, so that their family could become the sole rulers of Gotham.

He simply couldn't understand the stupidity of these people, so he couldn't help but sigh and ordered his men to prepare a car. He was going to a nearby hotel to get some fresh air, have a few drinks, and flirt with some beautiful women to relieve his stress.

However, at that moment, a black mist appeared in front of Batman and then drifted towards Maroney's location!
However, only Batman could see and perceive this black fog!

He watched as the black mist landed on Maroni's car in the surveillance footage, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

"The Book of the Dead is in Maroney's hands? This is troublesome."
