Chapter 933: Darkseid’s children, the devil’s daughter!
After walking out of the murderous mansion, Constantine left Gotham.
He used the portal to enter Boston and walked quickly forward in the slightly cold night.
Most of the demons in Boston have been killed by Diana, and sporadic demon invasions are no longer a threat.
A curfew has been imposed on the streets, and peacekeeping troops driving tanks are moving through the streets.
But this tense atmosphere is much better than that in Gotham and Metropolis.
After passing through several winding alleys, Constantine stopped in front of an old brick house.
The doorplate was rusted, but a faint candlelight shone through the crack in the door, and the scent of lavender and myrrh floated in the air.
Taking a deep breath, he raised his hand and knocked on the door, his knuckles making a dull sound on the wooden board.
The door opened silently.
"John Constantine."
A soft but unmistakable female voice came from the shadows, "I knew you would come."
Madam Xanadu stood inside the door, a dark purple dress outlining her elegant figure, her long silver hair falling like moonlight.
Her eyes, the eyes that could see through the past and the future, were looking at Constantine quietly, with a kind of compassion and understanding.
"I'm sorry to bother you at this hour, Lady Xanadu."
Constantine curled his lips and walked straight into the house, his windbreaker bringing in a gust of cold wind.
"But you and I both know that I never come to see you for no reason. If I come to see you, it must be something important. You know I'm not here for tea."
As he spoke, he looked at the furnishings in the surrounding rooms.
The furnishings in the room were ancient and exquisite, with tarot cards scattered on the velvet tablecloth and the crystal ball emitting a faint blue light under the candlelight.
Madame Xanadu waved gently, and the door closed silently behind him.
"You came here about a woman's death, didn't you?"
She said directly, as if she had already seen through his intentions.
Constantine's brows frowned slightly.
He hated being seen through, especially by her.
"Who did it?" he asked in a low voice.
Mrs. Xanadu did not answer immediately.
She walked toward the crystal ball, touched her fingertips to the surface, and rippling images emerged within it—distorted shadows, whispering demons.
"I knew you would come, John."
Mrs. Xanadu's voice seemed to come from far away, "But this time, the answer you want may scare even you."
Constantine grinned, pulled out the carved chair and sat down, his windbreaker bringing in a gust of cold wind wrapped in raindrops.
"Honestly, there aren't many things that scare me. I'm the one being chased by a demon to collect a debt."
He fished out a crumpled cigarette case. "What else can scare me?"
"Now those overwhelming demons outside don't scare me. I don't think there is anything more terrifying than that."
Seeing Constantine's nonchalant expression, Mrs. Xanadu asked him, "Why do you want to investigate this matter? Even if the earth is conquered by demons, there are still people from the Padrick family to hold it off. You are not someone who is willing to save the world."
"I'm not interested in saving the world, but I owe someone a favor."
Constantine shrugged. "Zatanna is now working under Peter Padrick, fighting against the demon army. In order to prevent her from sacrificing for no reason, I have to work harder. She thinks that farmhand is her father, and she might do something like taking a bullet for her 'father'."
He was very unhappy about the fact that Zatanna treated Peter as her father and came to the farm every few days.
Mrs. Xanadu nodded and continued to ask Constantine: "Do you think the death of that woman in Gotham is related to the demon-like army outside?"
"Yes, there must be some connection here that we don't know about."
"I've noticed, John, that you always drag those around you into danger."
Madame Xanadu complained and walked towards the crystal ball.
Sitting down at the table, she took a deep breath and placed her hand on the crystal ball.
White mist gradually appeared on the surface of the crystal ball.
Madam Shangdu's fingertips hovered over it, and the three obsidian dice automatically arranged themselves into a triangle on the velvet cloth.
As her nails scratched the dice, Constantine saw a flash of red light in her pupils that made his heart palpitate.
“It’s not humans who are killing people.”
Madame Xanadu suddenly grabbed his wrist with surprising force, "The deaths of those girls are... proofreading."
“Proofreading?”
“Like a gardener pruning away the unwanted branches.”
Her nails dug into Constantine's skin, stinging him painfully.
"Someone is erasing all Myrina Blacks - because the real Myrina will bring about the end."
With a "boom", the crystal ball suddenly exploded.
Countless fragments were suspended in the air, reflecting images that shocked Constantine.
In the fleeting fragments, he saw an Amazon warrior in painful childbirth on Paradise Island.
With a scream of pain, a baby girl was born.
Two Amazon warriors near the woman giving birth took one look at the baby and shouted in panic.
Because the baby girl on the ground had a cold gray skin with a stone-like texture.
This is obviously not a normal human baby, it is the child of the devil!
"Pah!" Constantine's cigarette fell to the ground. "What is this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Madam Shangdu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
She trembled as she pulled out the "Tower" and "Death" cards and stacked them together. The cards began to spontaneously combust.
"Let's go!"
Madame Xanadu immediately tore off the burning tarot card and slapped it on his chest. "They have already smelled it--!"
The roof collapsed.
Three demon-like creatures tore through space and descended, and the smell of sulfur instantly filled the room.
"Hold!"
Constantine immediately threw out the holy water dagger hidden in his sleeve, and the liquid splashed onto the demon's face, making a hissing sound like a branding iron.
"Nimue! Passage!"
Madam Shangdu bit her finger and drew a bloody symbol in the air.
The antique mirror behind her suddenly turned into a whirlpool leading to a dark alley.
"Damn it! Let's go!"
With a "swish", the demonic bone spur pierced through her shoulder.
Madam Xanadu groaned in pain.
Constantine cursed and threw the burning Tarot card.
The flames suddenly expanded and rushed towards the demon's face.
After temporarily forcing the demon back, he took the opportunity to grab Madam Xanadu and jump into the mirror.
"Oh!"
A few seconds later, Constantine supported Mrs. Xanadu and walked quickly towards a nearby church.
With a bang, he kicked open the church door and placed the injured Lady Shangdu on the bench in the church.
"That's strange, John. I thought you were going to sell me out and run away."
Covering her injured shoulder, Madam Shangdu spoke to him while panting slightly.
"Don't make me sound so mean. Most of the time I just have to do it when I have no choice."
After simply stopping Mrs. Xanadu's bleeding, Constantine took out a cigarette and lit it.
After exhaling a puff of smoke, he asked Madam Shangdu: "What was the scene I just saw? Why did I see an Amazon woman?"
Madam Shangdu fell silent when she thought of the scene she had just seen during divination.
After a while, she said to Constantine: "The Amazon woman you saw should be the real Myrina Black."
"The real Myrina Black?!"
"Yes, Myrina Blake is an Amazon assassin chosen by the gods from Paradise Island. The sacred mission given to her by the Greek gods is to kill the new god Darkseid, which is a nearly impossible task."
"And Myrina did something unexpected in order to complete the mission. She chose to get pregnant and give birth to Darkseid's daughter!"
Madame Xanadu said something that left Constantine dumbfounded.
He asked Madam Shangdu in disbelief, "You said that the master of the devil, Darkseid, had a baby girl with an earthling?"
"It's not impossible. Darkseid once invaded the Earth, but at that time the gods and heroes of the Earth fought together. The God of War Ares chopped him up, and he eventually failed and left the Earth."
Madame Xanadu reveals a secret that Constantine does not know.
"On the day Wonder Woman was born, Myrina Blake's daughter was also born. The prophet who helped deliver the baby on the island predicted the destruction she would bring after seeing her. There would be a war between the anti-gods and the new gods, and even the universe would perish in this war. Such a dark future made the warrior who helped deliver the baby feel threatened, and she planned to kill the child to prevent future troubles."
Mrs. Xanadu paused and continued, "But after hearing the prophecy, Myrina became more determined to protect the child. This was the only way she could kill Darkseid. So he killed the witnesses and fled Paradise Island by boat overnight."
"What is the name of Darkseid's daughter?"
Stuffing out his cigarette against the church wall, Constantine asked her with a serious expression.
"Grey's."
After hearing the name and repeating it, his expression became serious.
There is no doubt that this woman named "Grey" is a crucial figure in resisting Darkseid's army.
"I have to inform Zatanna."
Constantine had a serious look on his face and spoke to Mrs. Xanadu in a low voice.
at the same time.
Near the Metropolis Pier, Peter brought Clark, Kara, Mark and Raven to the place, ready to enter the tower to check if Azu was still inside.
Just as they arrived at the scene, a wormhole opened in the space with a "swish" and A-Zu rushed out holding Bruce.
When Peter saw A-Zu appear, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
This kid actually escaped safely and rescued Bruce as well!
With a "bang", A Zu fell heavily in front of Peter, looking at him in surprise while panting.
"father!"
Peter came over and put his hand on his wrist, "Good job, John."
Raven walked up and asked the two confusedly: "John, Bruce, what happened? Where did Darkseid take you?"
A Zu was explaining to everyone what happened on Apocalypse Star, but unexpectedly something strange happened!
