Chapter 478 The Mark of the Dragon King: Pay first, reap later!
"I thought you would take the opportunity to propose your superhero alliance plan to them."
Gabriel shook the goblet, and the scarlet liquid reflected a coquettish light under the light, which was very different from her angelic and holy aura.
Hong Fei stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, put his hands in his pockets, stared into the night, and shook his head gently: "It's not time yet."
Gabriel's eyes turned: "Is it because of the bat and the alien?"
"Well, Clark is okay, he is really a kind person. But when the Kryptonians invaded before, their fighting movements were too big and the impact was too wide, which caused a lot of casualties and property losses. And their
The battle cut the Wayne Tower in half, and many Wayne Group employees were killed or injured. Bruce was very good to his employees, and he has always been a grudge-holder."
"But isn't that necessary? I was also paying attention to this matter at that time. If he had not appeared, those Kryptonians would have fought to find him. Human technology could not do anything to those Kryptonians and their spaceships.
Damage, well, maybe a nuclear bomb can do it, but whether it can hit it is another matter."
"It would be great if that bat could think through these things. He believes that Clark should never have appeared on the earth from the beginning to the end. This in itself is a challenge and destruction to the civilized order of human society."
Gabriel smiled, opened his arms, and said helplessly but actually proudly: "Look, these are human beings. On the one hand, they enjoy the help of the Kryptonians, but on the other hand, they are wary of and even hate the changes brought about by the Kryptonians.
I really don’t understand why they always get that person’s favor and preferential treatment.”
Hong Fei said without looking back: "I am also a human being."
Gabriel chuckled and immediately changed the subject: "Batman and Superman must have a battle. If you want to form an alliance, do you have to stop them?"
"No, it is indeed possible to simply stop me, but it will only make the grudge between them deeper and deeper. When it finally breaks out, it will cause more serious consequences, so they must fight."
Gabriel didn't know Hong Fei's plot and plan between Batman and Superman, and he didn't know that the witch had previously bewitched and pushed Lex Luthor to launch his plan to sow discord in advance.
It's not that Hong Fei doesn't trust Gabriel enough, but because before something like this succeeds, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
Gabriel shrugged: "Then, that bat seems to be dead."
The corner of Hong Fei's mouth raised: "That's not necessarily the case."
"Anthracene?" Gabriel looked at Hong Fei: "I know you gave him the steel armor. His equipment has indeed been greatly improved this time, but it is not enough to pose a threat to the Kryptonians. That Superman
His strength is indeed very strong, and his physical strength has surpassed all materials on the earth."
Hong Fei turned around, walked slowly, rolled up his sleeves, and said slowly: "You see, this is the little problem you have left over from being an angel. You always habitually make some absolute inferences.
, but forget that everything in this world always has its two sides, pertinence and transformation. Simply put, when people are injured by poisons in the wild, they can usually find the right antidote nearby."
"What's the meaning?"
"The Kryptonians are indeed very powerful. Their bodies, abilities, and various performances are worthy of the title of 'Superman' given by humans. However, in this universe, even on the earth, there is still something that can be found against them. If
Batman has mastered this item, and with his now greatly improved suit technology and his always astonishing intelligence...who do you think will win?"
Gabriel frowned and thought for a while. She drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, put down the glass and said decisively: "I still think Superman will win. Even if there is something in this world that can target Kryptonians, the essence is
The gap is enough to make up for such a weakness. Even if Batman has more means and wisdom, Superman can kill him instantly without even breaking out!"
Hearing this, the smile on Hong Fei's face became even brighter.
"Your thoughts are very normal, and many people even agree with you, including me before."
Gabriel was puzzled: "Then why have you changed your mind now?"
"Because I found that I had not seen enough before. We have all seen Superman's power, because his strength is so prominent that we always inadvertently ignore his weaknesses."
"weakness?"
"Yes." Hong Fei nodded, and then said quietly: "He is a kind person."
His tone made Gabriel fall into deep thought for a moment.
Meila sat obediently to the side with her legs together, lowering her breathing as the conversation between the two progressed, with a little panic in her eyes: Did I hear something I shouldn't have heard?
After a while, Gabriel frowned: "I seem to understand what you mean."
Hong Fei stood behind the bar and nodded. He squeezed three times fresh orange juice, added some ice cubes, and pushed two of the glasses to the edge of the bar.
"Come."
Gabriel stood up and walked over. Mela hesitated for a moment before slowly standing up.
The three of them clinked their glasses together, and the crisp sound echoed briefly.
Hong Fei took a big sip and said to Gabriel, "It's time for you to go back and take care of your children."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mela almost spit out all the orange juice in her mouth. Her eyes looked back and forth between Hong Fei and Gabriel in astonishment.
Gabriel curled his lips reluctantly at first, then turned his head and glanced at Meila with a deep smile.
"Well, it would be nice if that child was yours."
"I don't dare to let you take care of my child."
Gabriel suddenly said angrily: "Open the door!"
Hong Fei turned around and opened the portal. At the other end, Miranda, who was holding her child, looked over with vigilance and curiosity.
Gabriel walked through the portal with orange juice in his hand and waved his hands with his back to the two of them.
After closing the portal, Hong Fei looked at Meila, who had still not recovered her senses: "It's time for you to go home, mermaid."
Mela turned her head: "I'm not a mermaid! The people of the fish-man country are more in line with human beings' fantasy of mermaids, but their upper bodies are also full of fish characteristics. And... the fish-men can't turn the fish's tail into legs.
!”
"Ha, what's the use of explaining this to me? Do you think I will care about it?"
"Of course, human beings always have some sweet dreams, imagining that they will be with mermaids, or even... even have that kind of relationship!" Mela's face turned red: "But I can tell you, that is impossible! It's not just about the body.
Due to structural differences, they have never allowed intermarriage with foreign races!"
"Understood, I've learned a lesson!" Hong Fei nodded seriously, then changed the subject, his eyes fell on Meila's face: "So, does your Kingdom of Xebel accept intermarriage?"
Meila was stunned, her cheeks suddenly turned as red as fire, almost catching up with her bright red hair.
She lowered her head deeply, making her chest look even more hollow. She held orange juice in both hands and intertwined her fingers restlessly.
Hong Fei was really afraid that she would burst the cup in the next second.
"It seems you don't know yet, then you can help me ask when you go back."
Mela snorted softly from her nose.
"I'll take you back."
"good."
The portal opened behind Mela, and at the other end was the sea area of the Kingdom of Zebel.
She stepped through the portal and suddenly turned back, her eyes full of reluctance.
Hong Fei waved his hand and said with a smile: "Actually, I like the Queen more. How about you try harder?"
Mei La was stunned, and just as she was about to get angry, the portal quickly closed.
…
The next day.
Bane, Deadshot and Bloodsport came to meet him.
"Gotham has been cleaned up." Bain said angrily as he sat opposite Hong Fei. His sturdy body looked very oppressive. At this time, his whole temperament was completely different from when he first met in Arkham.
.
The aura of the villain can no longer be suppressed.
Hong Fei crossed his legs, leaned back, and spread his arms on the sofa.
Harley stood behind with a smile and massaged him from left to right.
"Be careful these days, don't let me go to the Batcave to fish for you."
Bain nodded: "I will pay attention. But I have prepared a gift for him. Maybe, I can break his neck this time."
"You are so cruel." But I like it.
Hong Fei shook his head gently: "This time we are doing our own thing, which does not conflict much with his goals. Although he has never killed people, he will not mind us cleaning up the dregs of society where he cannot see it.
, even, maybe he will be grateful to us?"
Bain asked with a straight face and without a smile: "How far should we go next?"
"Well, I heard that in the Gotham City Police Department, nine out of ten police officers have connections with gangs."
Bain shook his head: "No. The relationship between the Gotham City Police Department and the gangs is complicated. Even if some people have no direct connection with the gangs, they are still involved in corruption and bribery. If you want to escape from these two things in that place,
It is almost impossible to be a policeman for a long time. If James Gordon had not had the help of Bruce Wayne, he might have died in some unknown stinking ditch."
Hong Fei couldn't help but gasped: "Tsk, tsk, it's really dark! In comparison, New York should be sunny now, right?"
"Yes." Bain looked at Hong Fei: "Everything you did in New York, although the methods were drastic, the results did make it better."
"Oh, I don't think I did anything special. The reason why you think it has gotten better is just because its previous shortcomings were too obvious."
"Then what else do you want to do next?"
"I won't do it anymore. It's boring. It's good now." Hong Fei waved his hand and refused.
In fact, it was because there was a big gap between the gains from changing the gang state in New York and his expectations.
Maybe it's because he is so strong now that it becomes very difficult to do this.
Or maybe it's because the changes to New York haven't gone far enough.
But no matter what, Hong Fei already knows that this is a thankless thing, so he has no reason to continue doing it. It is enough to stabilize the current situation.
He went on to say: "Moreover, we should all move to Gotham soon. You collect all the criminal evidence of the police officers, select some serious crimes to kill Ji Qi, and then let those who sit in key positions in the police station
People in positions should move their seats. When I come back, we will officially take over Gotham."
Bain nodded to express his understanding.
Harley took the opportunity to lean over Hong Fei's ear and said, "Dear, I want to go to Gotham."
"Um?"
Harley pointed to Bane: "I want to join them!"
Hong Fei raised his eyebrows: "There will be danger."
When Harry heard this, not only was he not embarrassed, but he was a little excited: "I'm not afraid!"
"It's not that you're not afraid, you just like taking risks, right?"
"Hehe, yes, let me go!"
Harley hugged his neck and acted coquettishly.
Hong Fei helplessly reached out and rubbed her hair: "Okay, then you go with them."
Harry immediately stood up and jumped up and down excitedly.
Hong Fei turned around and said, "Take her with you."
Bain looked at Harley and said, "I will send someone to protect her."
Harry was about to speak after hearing this, but Hong Fei was the first to refute: "No, you don't need to be distracted. If there is a task, you can just let her do it without too many additional considerations. I will ensure her safety, no matter what.
If something goes wrong, I won't let you take responsibility."
Bain frowned, and Deadshot and Bloodsport looked at each other.
It was Harley, who turned her hips and landed on the sofa, her long legs swaying across each other, and her body slipped directly into Hong Fei's arms.
She reached out and held Hong Fei's face, her eyes brimming with autumn water, and said softly: "Oh~ Hani, you are so kind!"
Hong Fei pinched her cheek.
He knows Harley's character very well. Even if she has been separated from the original plot line, after satisfying her emotional needs, her desire and love for adventure will not change.
Hong Fei didn't think he had to suppress Harley's need for adventure.
Even if they are in a romantic relationship, he and she are both independent individuals with their own spiritual pursuits.
Whether it is Helen Zhao, Xif, Mei or Harley, Hong Fei fully gives them the space and time to pursue their dreams, and even provides necessary help within the scope of their approval.
I, Hong, am definitely a rare good man!
After a while, Hong Fei left a golden-red dragon mark on the back of Harley's hand.
The Blessing of the Dragon King: Holders of the mark can borrow the power of Hong from Hong Fei through the mark, or they can independently borrow the power of the dragon, light energy, air, thunder, ocean and other abilities and a variety of special skills.
Abilities are the different energies that make up Hong's power, and special skills refer to the skill cards owned by Hong Fei.
This is the first blessing created by Hong Fei. As you can see from the description, its permissions are very open. There are no multiple obstacles to the connection between Hong Fei and Harley, which is very consistent with the nature of "blessing".
Moreover, although Hong Fei's method of creating blessings was modeled after Poseidon's "Poseidon's Blessing", he also adjusted or even modified many nodes and paths.
This move turns an ontological closed loop into a mark that first builds a channel between the two parties and then completes the closed loop.
also!
If you add some specific conditions to this thing, then the pure "blessing" will also become a "mark" with specific functions.
for example:
Mark of the Dragon King: Mark holders can use the mark to sacrifice items (including but not limited to various types of energy, mental power, physical strength, life, soul, materials, etc.) to the Dragon King in exchange for dragon power, light energy, air, thunder, ocean, etc.
Quantitative access rights to class abilities and various special skills.
