Chapter 419 The Ancient One is Back

After the gathering, Hal did not delay and set off again to Oa to discuss the alliance with the Green Lantern Corps' highest leaders, the Guardians of the Universe, and told them that Darkseid had his eye on Earth.

Once Earth is taken over, the next target will be the Milky Way, and then the entire universe.

In short, if Earth is destroyed, the universe will be destroyed as well.

The guardians of the universe thought this was a bit of a load of nonsense.

Is the Earth really the center of the universe?

How could the existence or demise of a marginal planet possibly affect the operation of the entire universe?

However, the Green Lantern Corps' duty is to maintain cosmic order, and they cannot stand idly by while Darkseid acts recklessly. They stated that if Apokolips shows any signs of attacking Earth, the Green Lantern Corps will send support immediately.

With this, the Justice League has gained the support of Themyscira, Atlantis, and the Green Lantern Corps, giving them the confidence to confront the Apokolips army.

Before the arrival of the Apokolips army, the members of the Super Seven returned to their respective homes to continue grinding and leveling up.

Du Mu was teleported back to Gotham City Police Department, found Chief Gordon, applied to end his administrative leave early, resume his daily tasks, and requested that he could issue tasks remotely from now on, without having to come to the station every day to clock in.

Gordon had worked in the police department for half his life and had never heard of such an outrageous request.

Just as he was about to refuse outright, the phone on the table suddenly rang. He answered it and found it was his superior calling, saying that Officer Du Mu's requests should be obeyed.

Gordon: —□□—

Did I accidentally wander into the imperial palace?

After that, Du Mu simply handed over the daily tasks to Suicide Infantryman No. 1 and Suicide Infantryman No. 2, letting them handle them on their own.

The difficulty of these routine tasks was more than enough for those thugs.

Du Mu completely relinquished his responsibilities, and his days suddenly became leisurely.

He usually spends his time at home playing with his cat, but when he gets bored, he teleports to the Batcave to bother Bruce, which annoys Bruce so much that he wants to throw him out of the cave several times.

In addition, Du Mu will wander around and activate various map teleportation points along the way.

His only regret is that he still hasn't found the coordinates of Paradise Island.

After spending this time together, Diana had a good understanding of Du Mu's style, so she kept a close watch on him.

No matter how Du Mu tried to subtly probe her, she refused to reveal any information, making Du Mu lament where the trust between people had gone.

After a few days of this quiet time, Du Mu suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the yellow crystal that sealed the Parallax Monster.

He took it out and examined it closely. Several tiny cracks had appeared on the surface of the crystal at some point, faintly visible under the light.

Du Mu frowned, then immediately understood what was going on.

Just as Sinestro said before he left, Parallax's power did not disappear even though it was sealed away.

As long as there are creatures around it that experience fear, it can continuously absorb those fears to replenish itself.

Especially in Gotham City, there is a lack of everything except fear.

After all, every night there's a bat-like monster acting as an urban legend, spreading fear everywhere, even more diligently than the ghosts in horror movies.

Day after day, the parallax monster sealed inside the crystal continues to accumulate power, and sooner or later it will break out of the crystal again, just like it did when it broke free of Abinsu's seal.

Unless it is confined to a desolate star system devoid of any signs of life, the Parallax monster will naturally lose its means of replenishing its power.

But Du Mu did not do that.

Although he absorbed a lot of the power of fear using the energy-storing gem, it was ultimately limited; every bit used was a bit less.

Unlike other parallax monsters, it is the embodiment of fear itself, capable of continuously absorbing fear and transforming it into power.

In other words, it is a nuclear power plant of fear that will never run dry.

As far as Du Mu knew, the Green Lantern Corps' headquarters had a huge central battery whose energy came from the will of all things in the universe, providing power for all Green Lantern rings.

Parallax's energy comes from the fear of all things in the universe, so he can also use this as a reference to transform Parallax into a central battery that can continuously replenish the power of fear.

After making up his mind, Du Mu teleported to the Earth's core, the place where the Sacred Trident was originally located.

He found a beach and pulled out a scroll.

This scroll was the reward he received for completing a mission not long ago: a double four-element seal that can seal evil power into a designated vessel.

Of course, Du Mu wouldn't be foolish enough to use his own body as a sealing vessel.

Putting aside the risks involved, Parallax is a fearsome entity with its own consciousness, and he certainly didn't want someone watching the live stream while he was doing his daily quests with Emma.

However, the carrier cannot be too fragile. If it is accidentally destroyed in battle, the Parallax monster may take the opportunity to escape, which would be troublesome.

After much deliberation, Du Mu finally decided to seal the Parallax Monster onto the magic white robe.

The magical white robe has the property of never wearing out; it will not be damaged no matter what kind of attack it takes, making it perfect as a sealing vessel for the Parallax monster.

Du Mu immediately took out his magic white robe, placed the yellow crystal that sealed the parallax monster on it, and then unrolled the scroll with both hands.

The next moment, countless runes surged out of the scroll, carrying the yellow crystal, and rushed into the magic robe.

The golden sealing patterns spread rapidly, covering the entire white robe, and finally shrank into a fist-sized circular rune, deeply imprinted on the robe's surface.

Du Mu donned his magic white robe again, and as soon as his consciousness reconnected, he immediately sensed an extremely spacious area appearing before him.

He could clearly feel that he controlled every inch of this space, that the rules changed according to his will, and that his authority was maximized.

Deep within this sealed space, the enormous parallax monster is imprisoned behind a fence.

Although the gaps in the fence appeared wide, even in its black mist form, it was impossible for it to pass through them.

When Parallax saw Du Mu standing outside the prison, he immediately realized that the other party was behind it all.

It roared angrily, "Damn humans! Where have you locked me up?!"

Du Mu chuckled and said, "Parallelism Monster, I need you to help me become stronger. Hand over your power of fear."

"impossible!"

Parallax refused without hesitation.

It is the embodiment of fear; how could it possibly submit to a human?

Du Mu wasn't angry; he simply waved his arm casually.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A sudden clap of thunder followed, and several bolts of lightning struck down from above the sealed space, hitting the Parallax monster's body directly.

"Aaaaaah!"

Parallax let out a scream, its entire body trembling violently in the lightning.

When the lightning dissipated, it collapsed to the ground, its eyes filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible... I'm actually feeling pain?"

Du Mu chuckled and explained, "I am the master of this sealed space. I set the rules here. If I want you to feel pain, you will feel pain; if I want you to feel comfort, you will feel comfort."

"One last question: are you going to pay or not?"

The parallax monster roared, "Don't even think about it! You think this little bit of physical pain will make me submit?!"

"Good! You've got guts!"

Du Mu smiled slightly: "In that case, you can enjoy yourself here."

After saying that, he turned and left without any hesitation.

Suddenly, several larger Parallax monsters, covered in muscles, appeared beside Parallax. They removed their glasses and gave Parallax a friendly smile.

Muscle parallax monster: (5) つ—口—口 parallax: (\°A{°{°A{°)! ?

Don't come any closer!

The next moment, a mournful wail emanated from the consciousness space, so poignant that it brought tears to the eyes of all who heard it.

Du Mu ignored this.

He didn't expect the guy to give in easily; he had plenty of time and could just wear him down slowly.

Main server!

Du Mu left the DC Universe server and returned to the Marvel Universe, which he knew best.

As soon as he landed, he took a deep breath and felt much better.

Du Mu sighed, "It's much more comfortable here. DC is too dark. It feels like there's a dark filter on. If you stay there for too long, you'll get all irritated."

Upon returning to the main server, Du Mu immediately teleported to Kamar-Taj and headed straight for the Library.

Things are different now; his mental attribute has been raised to 120 points.

Those high-level magic books that were previously impossible to open can now mostly be unlocked and read. As for those lower-difficulty spells, the casting time is so short that it can be ignored.

Du Mu tried reading a high-level magic book and found that not only were there no restrictions on reading it, but the reading time was only one or two days, which was much better than before.

However, some spells still remain unreadable.

For example, the Shield of Seraphine, the Crimson Chains of Setorak, and the teleportation spell most commonly used by Kamar-Taj mages.

These spells are all derived from the primordial power of demon gods from different dimensions. Since Du Mu is a person without connections and has never established a contractual relationship with any dimensional demon god, he naturally has no way of learning these spells.

Unless he can directly obtain the power of those dimensional demons for free, like the Ancient One.

Du Mu stroked his chin: "Since I can get the beast power of the Black Void for free, it means I can also get the power of other dimensional demons for free. If I could get all the dimensional demons for free, wouldn't my strength be able to catch up with the Ancient One in an instant, or even surpass her?"

But after thinking about it, he gave up on this incredibly tempting idea.

During his time on the DC Universe server, he thoroughly reviewed all the relevant materials for the Marvel series and gained a relatively clear understanding of the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme.

The reason why the Ancient One has been able to obtain the power of various dimensional demons for free and has not been killed yet is partly due to her own superior strength, but more importantly, it is because Eternity stands behind her.

That guy is a top-tier big shot.

What dimensional demons are they? They're nothing but farts in front of Xiu.

No, it's not even as good as a fart.

With a powerful figure like Eternity backing her up, the Ancient One could naturally and unscrupulously exploit the power of other dimensional demons.

Which dimensional demon would dare to cause her trouble?

However, Du Mu didn't have any powerful backers. His success in getting Black Void's beast power for free was purely due to taking advantage of a loophole. In addition, the beast that Black Void's power source wasn't a top-tier demon god, and it didn't even dare to come to the real dimension, which is why he didn't attract any trouble.

If he dared to follow the Ancient One's example and freeload everywhere, setting his sights on a dimensional demon of Dormammu's caliber, it probably wouldn't be long before a group of dimensional demons would come knocking on his door to investigate.

Of course, this doesn't mean you can never touch it again.

Once his strength reaches another level, it wouldn't be out of the question if he picked some easy-to-bully dimensional demons to freeload off.

Du Mu composed himself and immediately immersed himself in a long period of study.

"Let's get this party started!"

Unlocking the chat group function gave him many more ways to pass the time outside of studying.

Between flipping through the book, messages would pop up in the group chat from time to time.

The members of the Super Seven usually protect their own cities. Although they don't see each other often, they have never stopped communicating in the group.

Barry and Hal chatted the most, spamming the group chat with messages every day, as if they had no life of their own.

Hal, that idiot, even developed his own "meme literature," turning various pictures of the members into memes and sending them to the group chat, including even a meme of Bruce.

[Batman's disapproving gaze]·jpg

Awesome!

Du Mu exclaimed that he had truly underestimated Hal.

In terms of the ability to court disaster, Hal is no less capable than Wade.

In addition to the Super Seven group chat, there is also a lot of private information.

For example, Emma would occasionally do live streams with Du Mu to share her outfit ideas and ask for his advice.

Du Mu would watch the videos carefully with a critical eye each time, saying that the video quality was not very clear and the details were not clear. He would save them for later when he would go there in person to observe them up close and then give his professional comments.

And so, time slipped by day by day amidst the sound of turning pages and the notification sounds of group chats.

About a week later, Du Mu closed the high-level magic book in his hand and was about to turn to the next book when he suddenly noticed a note that had appeared on the table.

I'm back. Come over here after you finish reading; I need to talk to you about something.

Du Mu was familiar with the handwriting; it was Gu Yi's handwriting.

Yeah, the one without hair.

Upon seeing the contents of the note, a smile slowly spread across his face, the curve gradually extending towards his ears.

"Ancient One, you're finally back, hehehe!"

Du Mu decisively put down the books and immediately rushed to the meditation hall of the Ancient One.

Upon reaching the door, he pushed it open and excitedly shouted, "Master Gu Yi, I'm here!"

The long-unseen Gu Yi sat calmly in the center of the hall, dressed in a plain robe, her expression serene.

When Du Mu barged in, a faint smile appeared on her face.

"You've finally arrived."

Just as Du Mu was about to say something in the form of small talk, his gaze swept downwards and he suddenly froze.

On the ground beneath Gu Yi, there was a pool of blood, and it looked quite a lot.

Du Mu's eyes widened immediately: "Master Gu Yi, you...you haven't gone through menopause yet!?"

Gu Yi: "6"
