Chapter 463 Death is not cruel, Zha Kang appears

Peter listened to his second sister's speech, looked at the cross on her chest, and fell into deep thought.

If he remembered correctly, the cross was the Ankh.

The Ankh, also known as the Ankh, is a letter of the Egyptian hieroglyphics, meaning life.

The Ankh symbolizes life and eternity. It is said that wearing this protective treasure can prevent disasters, diseases and the invasion of magic, and help the wearer win victory in love and war.

He remembered the death of the Endless family, and what he wore was the Ankh.

Moreover, the other person's appearance and dress were also similar to death.

Guessing that the person in front of him was the Death of the Endless Family, Peter's expression turned serious.

Although the woman, dressed in a black top and jeans, seemed harmless, Peter knew she was terrifying.

Legend has it that she is cheerful, down-to-earth, lively, and the embodiment of dreams.

But she was also the end of life and a friend.

Almost no one can escape death. She is the most powerful of the Endless family and the most iconic being in the universe. She is also one of the most powerful beings in the DC universe except for God Lucifer.

According to Lucifer, the authority of death even includes things outside of creation.

I now have her brother's weapon in my hand. If this woman wants to stand up for her brother, I guess I can't stop her now.

Perhaps noticing Peter's vigilance, the second sister smiled at him.

"Don't worry. I usually don't get involved in my brother's affairs, otherwise I would have shown up long ago. My job responsibilities are very important. Not only me, but everyone in our family is very busy, so we rarely interfere with other people's work."

"who are you?"

Riven asked her second sister curiously.

She could feel the power and mystery of the woman in front of her. It seemed to be the breath of magic, but it was not quite the same as the magic in the world she knew.

And it seems that the other party knows his father very well.

Ruiwen asked the other party seriously: "Are you a magician? What is your purpose in approaching here? Are these tentacles caused by you?"

She suspected that the disgusting tentacles that came out of Terrence's mouth were caused by the woman in front of her.

"No, I'm not a magician. As for the purpose of approaching here."

The second sister looked at the bodies on the ground, a hint of warmth flashed in her eyes, "I want to take some people away. When they leave alone, they will be sad, shocked and angry. They need people to accompany them."

When Ruiwen heard her say this, she was even more confused.

She had a hard time understanding what the woman was saying.

"Raven, come over here."

Before Raven could continue asking questions, Peter called his daughter to his side.

Looking at the seemingly harmless "Death" in front of him, Peter exhaled and asked her: "These tentacles, do you know what they are?"

"Know a little bit."

The second sister said to Peter, "I asked fate, and it said that life has not been peaceful recently. People who can do magic will encounter some big troubles. They will encounter an enemy they cannot face. These tentacles are warnings. However, you don't seem to be professional magicians, so you shouldn't be too sad."

She glanced at the tentacles on the ground, then looked towards the door.

Exhaling, she said to Peter, "Sorry, I have to go. I hope the next time we meet, the time interval won't be too close."

Waving to Peter and Raven, the second sister walked towards the door.

Riven looked at the other person leaving in surprise.

She seemed to vaguely see two figures standing on each side of each other, slowly following the strange woman towards the door.

"dad."

Watching the other person slowly leave, Raven asked Peter in confusion: "Who is she?!"

"I don't know, but I guess, maybe she is death."

Peter glanced at the two bodies on the ground. "She sent the souls of dead beings into the void and buried them outside the world. Now death has appeared here. She may have appeared for this reason and appeared in front of us."

When Raven heard Peter say that the other person was death, she was immediately stunned.

"But, but, why doesn't she have any of the harshness and heaviness of death?"

Raven thought of Hela, the goddess of death, who was placed in hell by Peter.

As the goddess of death, Hela exudes the smell of hell and death.

"She was very special, she was a lively and sunny person."

Peter said something that made Raven freeze.

"Lively? Sunny?"

Riven thought about it and felt that these two words had nothing to do with death anyway.

"Hmm, so death doesn't have to be horrible and sad, Raven."

Peter listened to the police car siren outside, walked over to Raven and touched her hair, "Death may be kind sometimes."

After leaving the concert, Peter drove Raven and others back home.

What happened at the concert made both Star-Lord and Mark silent.

They thought they could enjoy a concert, but they didn't expect to encounter something like this.

Seeing that Mark was in a bad mood, Peter comforted him with a few words.

After parking the car at the traffic light, Peter looked at the TV outside the shopping mall on the roadside. The TV was broadcasting news about a fire that happened last night.

"At 33 a.m. on Lookout Street, a fire broke out in an apartment building. Firefighters arrived at the scene and took minutes to put out the fire. Afterwards, they found that a man named Vincent Turner had died in the fire.

"The local police and fire department said they were investigating the cause of the fire. A fire department chief said that the house where Vincent lived was 87 years old and had no firefighting equipment installed. In addition, there were a lot of papers in the room."

A portrait appeared at the end of the news video.

The portrait that Vincent had painted, which had survived the fire intact, appeared on the television screen.

Peter was stunned when he saw the woman in the portrait holding the Ankh necklace in her hands, who looked exactly like the "Death" he had just seen.

When Peter heard the news anchor say that the deceased Vincent was a painter who had been frustrated for many years, and that the work he left behind was considered by experts to be a work of genius and would definitely cause a sensation in the art world, his expression became complicated.

After thinking about it, Peter called Bruce.

"Bruce?"

"It is I, sir."

Bruce is at the manor, dealing with the reconstruction of the company destroyed in the Battle of Metropolis.

He didn't expect Peter to call him.

"Will you do me a favor?"

"Of course, sir."

Peter started the car, changed the position of the phone, and said to Bruce: "I want a painting, maybe it will appear in the auction, can you help me buy it?"

Peter, who is interested in the portrait of "Death", wants to get the painting.

The first person he thought of was Bruce, who had the ability to make money.

Bruce didn't expect Peter to call about a painting.

He was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded in agreement.

"Of course, I'll arrange it right away."

night.

Gotham.

The city streets were shrouded in fog.

Zatanna walked to a secluded alley.

She was wearing a windbreaker and wrapped herself tightly to resist the cold wind.

She pulled the phone out of her windbreaker pocket, and the screen illuminated her frowning face.

"This morning, a violent explosion occurred at the Metropolitan Theater. Prior to this, the three nearest fire trucks were dispatched to the theater to put out the fire."

The text on her phone described a fire that broke out during a Met concert.

The strange tentacle incident that Peter experienced was described by the government as a fire.

"Police have found three bodies, one of which has been confirmed to be the famous singer and actor Terrence Mann, and the other two are concert attendees. Three audience members were sent to the Metropolitan Central Hospital for treatment for minor burns and smoke inhalation. It is reported that the cause of the explosion was that the organizers did not do a good job of on-site safety protection, and the fire was caused by a fault in the stage's exposure system, which caused leakage of poorly insulated equipment."

Looking at the pictures of the scene, Zatanna's brows furrowed even more.

This was not a fire at all, but an invasion of alien creatures caused by uncontrolled magic.

Putting away her phone, she thought about what she had experienced during the day.

During the day she was on stage, performing magic tricks of pulling rabbits out of hats for the audience.

She has performed this magic countless times.

However, as she chanted the irony magic, her own magic went out of control.

Magic gave way to fear, and billowing flames emerged from her hat.

If she hadn't handled the situation calmly, the theater where she performed the magic would probably have suffered the same fate as the Metropolitan Opera House.

Although she didn't know what happened, Zatanna could vaguely feel that the magic in this world seemed to have become a little different.

what happened?
She frowned and walked forward with a heavy heart.

"I heard you learned a new top hat trick, Zach."

A sudden voice came from behind her, accompanied by the light of car lights.

In the bright glare of the car lights, Zatanna turned around and looked at the man leaning against the car, smoking a cigarette.

The brown-haired man in a beige windbreaker looked at her with a smile, "Long time no see, Xiao Zha."

"Constantine?"

Seeing the man, Zatanna frowned and called out his name.

"Don't call me so familiarly. We're not that familiar with each other. Besides, only one person can call me 'Xiao Zha', and that's not you!"

Zatanna said to the man in front of her without any hesitation.

The person who appeared in front of her was John Constantine, who was described as a "scumbag" by Loki and Star-Lord.

Born in Liverpool, England, this gruff occult detective specializes in investigating and combating magical creatures, forces, and spirits.

At the same time, he is also called "Zha Kang" because he completely ignores the so-called superhero code of conduct, behaves eccentrically, acts according to his own preferences, and has no rules or goals.

There is no justice or morality in his world, only his own interests and survival are the most important.
