Was I such an idiot in the past?

As dawn broke, Delta was slightly taken aback by Rosalia's actions.

"What kind of magical ritual will we need to perform to reach the Rock of Eternity?"

After thinking it over, the detective, who was planning to betray her boss, said this.

"That's not necessary, just taking a car is fine."

At this moment, Lilia, who was next to Rosalia, offered an explanation, which left Delta somewhat stunned.

Sit, take a car?

Heading towards the Rock of Eternity... Is it really that simple and unadorned?

A few minutes later, following Rosalia and Lilia, they randomly chose a subway station and entered a special carriage that normal people could not reach. With a sway and darkness, the carriage stopped on the now quite extraordinary Eternal Rock, which had been improved by Qi Mo.

Looking at this magical holy land that connects many dimensions, Delta, whose magical level is not weak, can naturally see the various defensive magics hidden beneath the seemingly ordinary Eternal Rock.

"Welcome, Rosalia from a parallel universe."

Looking at Delta, Qi Mo, who had just used the Night Owl disguise a few hours ago, spoke casually.

“I have already discerned your purpose in coming here.”

Eclipse... Spirit of Wrath, helping you break your contract with him is not difficult for me. Even the being behind him before his fall, as one of the three great demons, I am not afraid at all.

"Hmm... How about helping Rosalia and Lilia with their homework? That's the price I'll pay for helping you break this contract."

Looking at the figure before him, Qi Mo said this.

"Hmm... I hope it's not one of those complicated questions."

Upon hearing this, Rosalia's face instantly turned sour. Although some of the magic in the teacher's assignments was interesting, there were also some that she simply didn't want to understand.

"This time it's an extracurricular practical assignment, and I need you to fetch something for me."

Qi Mo casually mentioned it, and Rosalia's eyes lit up instantly: "Extracurricular practice! Rosalia likes this! So what do you want to retrieve?"

Don't worry, Rosalia, I'm a professional deliveryman.

Honkai Impact 4th Year: Chapter 1708: Metropolis and coastal cities are too dangerous; I can only make do in Gotham.

"Thank you for helping my other self. It is my duty."

But the Dark Book... what is that?

Looking at the figure in front of him, Delta asked with some curiosity.

Although Delta had magical knowledge taught by Eclipse, she herself had never heard of the Dark Book.

Upon hearing this, Qi Mo wasn't surprised and was about to explain, "Do you know about the existence of the Old Gods?"

"Of course, but... what is the connection between the Dark Book and the Old Gods?"

Delta asked with some curiosity, and Qi Mo continued, "It is a magical tome created by the god of the underworld among the ancient gods with a rather special origin. It records all sorts of mysterious mysteries that lean towards black magic."

"special?"

Upon hearing this, Delta caught the key words, and Qi Mo nodded and continued:

"The Old Gods is a broad category; in fact, there are many different systems of powerful beings who bear the title of Old Gods."

The god of the underworld, Sithon, originated from a divine being who once visited Earth through the spirit of existence. That being was known as the Great Craftsman Demug, a manifestation of creative power.

Within that Old God system, Sithon and three other beings were known as the Four Great Old Gods, and were among the few survivors originating from that fleetingly powerful omnipotent being.

Upon hearing this, Rosalia nodded and silently noted the information down.

As for the great creator Demigo, the universe is vast and boundless, so it's not surprising that an all-powerful being would emerge from that corner.

"I understand. The mission this time is to get that book?"

"Hmph, this dark power is only valuable if Rosalia wields it!"

Meanwhile, Rosalia covered her left eye with one hand and spoke in a deliberately profound tone.

Has this kid been hanging out too much with Fischl, who's always up to his senses lately?

Okay, it has nothing to do with Fischl. Rosalia herself seems to have become a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) after learning magic.

Looking at his disciples on the mystical side, Qi Mo continued:

"That's right. I know of three copies of that book: one original and two copies."

As far as I know, the first instance was controlled by a family, and for a thousand years, no one has been found qualified to learn the magic within it.

The second copy, along with Kevin's modified Book of Vishanti, was originally stored in a place called the Library of the Exiled on the Imaginary Tree, so there's no need to worry about its safety.

What I want you to find is the original text of that Dark Book. If you can decipher that book, advancing to Omnipotence will not be difficult.

Looking at the figure in front of him, Qi Mo revealed his purpose for the visit.

"Then, where is the original text of that book?"

Delta thought for a moment and said, "Well, compared to the other me in this world and Lilia, I am a mature adult, so naturally I have more to worry about."

"The original text has been lost for a long time, and even the original world cannot find any trace of it."

According to my intelligence... the reason he had been missing was that a traitorous knowledge collector under the command of the Demonic Marshal had taken him to another world.

I need you to travel to other worlds and bring that book back to our origin.

Looking at the three people in front of him, Qi Mo said this.

As for the Dark Book

Well, I actually created a book that automatically reads relevant knowledge upon arriving in the target world. Although there are some pre-made magic records, it will probably have to wait until DC starts reading them to be fully filled in.

"Another world? Rosalia is a professional, so leave it to me."

Upon hearing this, Rosalia nodded and waved her hand without hesitation.

Having accepted the mission, the magic trio prepared to set off.

Meanwhile, in the DC universe, the Dark Book that Qi Mo threw over was beginning to absorb the magical knowledge of this world in the alley.

With a thunderous roar, the dark book in the alley was illuminated, along with a somewhat haggard-looking man at the alley's entrance.

"That's... a book?"

He could vaguely see the extraordinary cover through the lightning, and the man subconsciously walked into the alley.

The rain poured down relentlessly from the sky, and Gotham was especially cold tonight. Rain boots pounded on the uneven pavement of the alley, and raindrops splashed out of the puddles with each step.

"This cover is nice, but I don't know who put it here."

The man muttered to himself, shook the rain off his hair, picked up the Dark Book, and continued walking towards his rented apartment.

The extraordinary magical manual was carelessly tossed on the coffee table. Exhausted, the man washed his face and then lay down on the sofa without a care for his appearance.

This era is truly getting crazier and crazier.

"However, Gotham is still the better fit."

Feeling the unique darkness and coldness of Gotham, the man muttered to himself.

He was born in Gotham and had traveled to other cities for safety reasons when he was young.

Unfortunately, he was taught a harsh lesson.

Close your eyes, and the scene of Lex Luthor battling various masters during his initial move to Metropolis, nearly killing himself in the aftershocks, seems to appear before your eyes.

Then, I moved to the seaside city, but a few days later, the house I bought in the seaside city was completely gone along with the city itself. If I hadn't been on a business trip in another city at the time, I probably would have died in that disaster.

The two experiences taught me that it's best not to stay in the same city as superpowered freaks. The third time, I deliberately found a small town with beautiful seaside scenery. But not long after, Atlantis invaded, and Aquaman seemed to be fighting a big battle with the Atlanteans.

If I hadn't escaped so quickly, I probably would have died too.

Other cities are too dangerous; indeed, if we're looking for safety, Gotham is the place to be.

Although the crime rate is not low, at least the opponent is a human being, and even if you are attacked, you can fight back, unlike some cities where there are a bunch of gods.

A city with superpowered freaks as heroes is too dangerous; I will absolutely, positively never go there again.

As for those who don't have money, they're currently broke and can only muddle through life in Gotham for now.

"Those superpowered freaks should all die. How can such things exist in the world? Now I, the zero-yuan shop owner, have to worry about the heroes fighting the villains around me instead of the victims."

After opening a can of beer, the man couldn't help but speak his mind.

He picked up the expensive book from the table, wanting to see what was inside.

"I think what I said just now was a bit too extreme. Superpowers are still necessary."

The moment he held the book in his hands, the man's expression changed, and he said this.

Honkai Impact 4th Year: Chapter 1709: Is Lex Luthor someone a human could fight? If you're going to steal an identity, you should definitely choose Bruce!

I was speaking a little too loudly just now.

A superpowered freak?

No, how could I say that? He is the one destined by Heaven.

Looking at the books in front of him, the man's expression was one of intense excitement.

The moment he came into contact with the book, he felt the message it conveyed.

The Dark Book—that's the name of this book. Sealed within it is supreme magic from the ancient god of the underworld, Sithon.

What? I've never heard of the name Sithon before?

Never mind, it's not a big problem. There are so many mythologies in the world, who knows which pantheon it belongs to.

Now that such divine books have fallen into my hands, I will certainly not let them be buried!

"Besides studying diligently... is it possible to infuse magic to automatically release spells that meet the requirements?"

Hahahaha, this, this... I'd like to see who dares to act recklessly in my Gotham from now on!

His trembling body couldn't contain his excitement; he fantasized about awakening superpowers and achieving instant success—something even men have experienced.

"Since things have come to this, let's make some money first."

Taking a deep breath, the man decided to use the Dark Book to make some money.

Realizing gold? Tampering with the balance?

Without sufficient status, even if you create something yourself, you can't protect it. I was born in Gotham and know the darkness of this city all too well.

Since that's the case... then I'll replace someone of extraordinary status.

Taking a deep breath, the man began to think about the names of various wealthy people.

Should we replace Lex Luthor?

hiss.

I don't want to die.

Very decisively, the man abandoned the idea immediately.

Just kidding, who would dare to covet Lex Luthor's wealth?

If I dare to become Lex Luthor today, I'll have to fight Darkseid tomorrow.

Superman knows the gods he faces every day; he can't afford to be reckless.

Excluding Lex Luthor

Bruce Wayne, Oliver Quinn

The names of wealthy people flashed through his mind, and at that moment, he made his decision.

"Dark Book, draw my magic within safe limits and grant me the identity of Bruce Wayne!"

From this day forward, I... will become the new owner of Wayne Enterprises, and yes, the name Bruce is mine now.

Feeling a little uneasy, hoping that what he was seeing was not just his imagination, the new Bruce Wayne said.

Upon receiving the command, the Dark Book immediately accessed all sorts of data within itself.

"Insufficient magic power."

The Dark Book gave the man a decisive answer in the next instant.

Bruce Wayne, that being's desire to replace someone is not as simple as replacing an ordinary martial artist; how could the magic of an ordinary person possibly take his place?
