In Zero Hour Crisis, Hal obtained a total of two kinds of energy, one is the power to control time obtained by devouring the Time Trap, and the other is the power to restart the river of time by devouring the Mother River of Time through the rift of entropy.
The latter has been all used up, except for Harry who took the opportunity to upgrade the mother river defense expertise from early level eight to level nine, and the rest was used to restart the river of time.
Therefore, even if the Zero Hour Crisis is over and Hal turns around, he will still be a "Time Demon".
The power possessed by the Time Demon has not diminished at all.
The Time Demon can stand at the end of the river of time and see a person's past, present and future at will.
Moreover, because of the incident with the Sun-Eating Beast, Hal has been "keeping an eye on" the Earth.
He is the last line of defense arranged by Harley to protect the earth.
Even if Gunther secretly sneaked into the earth with a projection, he was still vaguely aware of it. Then he looked through the lives of Gunther and Kyle Rayner and learned about Gunther's prophecy of "using Hal's sacrifice to exchange for true peace in the universe."
"What you saw in the Book of Oa, I also saw." Hal looked at Kyle who looked uneasy and said, "Maybe Gunther is right, at the moment we accepted the green light ring
, our destiny is firmly bound to emotional energy.
"The Book of Oa", as a reflection of will and emotion, can really guide us in the direction of the future."
Facing Hal's deep gaze, Kyle felt a little embarrassed, "We are in a good situation now. The Sun-Eating Beast has left. There is no need to do anything else, and there is no need to sacrifice anyone. Right, Harley."
"That's right." Harley nodded, "We have at least two choices next, either stay on Earth and just wait for others to ask for help. If anyone sends a message to us, we will save their star.
I guess that within a few months the Sun-Eating Beast and the Nightmare Crisis will naturally disappear from the physical universe.
Or, we actively prepare for war, running around non-stop with Dusk to defend against the Sun-Eating Beast in advance.
During this period, we have spent time and energy, but Hecate continues to lose blood. For the sake of the civilization of the universe, I am willing to spend ten years fighting her. Anyway, I am getting stronger with more wear and tear, and she cannot resist me."
Da Chao thought for a while and said: "It's too passive to wait for others to ask for help, and the sun-eating beast has an insatiable appetite. It has already devoured thousands of stars. Who knows how many civilizations it will destroy and how many people will be killed in the future?
Let's set off now and take Dusk with us to find it.
Even if it takes ten years, it doesn’t matter. Every day we spend, we save billions more people, which is so worth it.”
Bateman frowned and looked at Harley, "You did not choose to hide the truth about the Sun-Eating Beast and take Twilight away directly. Instead, you told us the secrets of Hecate and the cost magic. Is this 'mutual consumption' plan flawed?
"
Harley glanced at him, nodded and said: "There are two very big problems in the mutual consumption plan of using our energy and time to exchange Hecate's life.
First, Mu Du is emotionally unstable.
When she was beaten by the metropolitan mob, she cursed, 'You deserve to die in the winter night, you don't deserve hope.'"
Dachao immediately defended Bo Mu: "She was just in a rage. Who doesn't say anything unscrupulously?"
Harry shook his head and said, "I didn't criticize her or say she was bad or wrong. If it were me, the scene would have been covered with blood. What's the point of cursing?"
If it were you, those mobs wouldn't dare to riot at all.
On that day, they were dissatisfied with your request to sentence alien criminals to lynching, and they did not dare to oppose you openly. They could only go to the door of the White House and confront Mr. President.
Many heroes complained in their hearts.
While complaining, I also felt very uncomfortable.
There are so many weird people in the United States. Even if the law "allows opponents to demonstrate and demonstrate," there are still opponents who demonstrate and demonstrate.
Even if you become a city representative, city guardian, or superhero, you still have a lot of negative fans.
Not the "superhero fandom" kind of super criminal.
They are just ordinary people, holding up signs opposing heroes and ralliing and marching in the city.
Only Harley didn't.
It's not that she doesn't have anti-fans, even God has anti-fans.
There are also ordinary people who dislike her, but the story of her using black magic to sacrifice opponents and troublemakers to the demons of hell has spread from Gotham to the world.
They are afraid.
She even openly admitted that she knew black magic. Louise's "The Biography of Queen" records the process of her practicing black magic.
The unruly people are afraid of authority but not virtuous.
Harley continued: "The mob is a minority after all, and when she was beaten by a mere mob, she began to curse people all over the world.
Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, what will she do if she sees more evil in human nature?
Do something even more damning?
Isn't this just getting closer to Dark Hecate?
According to the progress of Bo Mu's 'fall', I'm afraid we can outlast Hecate in terms of energy, but we won't be able to let Bo Mu persist until then."
Bateman said: "We will keep an eye on Huo Mu and not let her have contact with the outside world.
In addition, starting from today, when we warn alien civilizations, we will not use her name, but yours.
Create the character of "Galaxy Admiral, omnipotent".
You warned, you fought fiercely with the sun-eating beast, you drove it away, you summoned angels to repair the stars, their attitude towards you must be completely different from that towards Dusk.
People will be angry at a prophet who can only predict crises but cannot save them, but they will worship the person who predicts crises and solves them as a god."
"It makes sense, you can try it." More than half of the hero giants' eyes lit up and they nodded in agreement.
There are also giants who are hesitant: Will this raise Harley Quinn's status too much? Why not create a "Justice League, omnipotent"? Well, it should be a setting of "Earth's heroes, omnipotent"?
"You said there is a second problem with the mutual consumption plan?" Wonder Woman asked.
"Well, dusk is the first problem, and the second problem is debt transfer."
Harley said somewhat depressedly: "The Sun-Eating Beast is the prelude to the Twilight of the Gods. To put it bluntly, this crisis is actually the disaster of the gods.
Now the gods have made no move, but we mortals who have nothing to do with the debt have shouldered their responsibilities.
If we can kill Hecate, heaven will probably set off fireworks for a hundred years to celebrate this event.
But they will never be grateful to us.
Those selfish and greedy bastards must not be jealous of our ability to deal with Hecate, compete with them, and threaten their supremacy.
After losing the burden of debt, they are more likely to return their sights to the earth, their birthplace and their former kingdom."
"Is this possible?" Da Chao frowned.
"That would be too bad." Neptune struggled.
"The gods aren't that bad, are they?" Wonder Woman hesitated.
Harley looked around, the hero was doubtful.
She sighed: “Although they are all called ‘god’, you must not confuse the gods with God.
What God wants is often not what we care about; what the gods want is mostly something we cannot let go of.
It's like a dog encountering a steaming pile of fresh cakes. It will turn its head and look around, worried that other dogs will come to snatch it, but it will not care about the people next to it.
It cannot be said that people are not greedy and do not need to grab food.
But if people don’t eat daddy, they have no competition with dogs who eat shit.
To us, the gods are just strong dogs, not human beings."
This statement is very vivid, and you can understand it as soon as you hear it, but it actually has a strong taste, which makes many heroes feel uncomfortable.
"This can only be regarded as a side effect. What does it have to do with 'debt transfer'?" Bateman asked.
"Oh, this side effect is only for you. To me, the gods are just strong dogs, but I am a human being with a stick in my hand. I am not afraid of eating shit. It doesn't matter whether I will be targeted by them. Don't they want to do it now?
Kill me?"
The heroes felt more and more unhappy because they dared not take themselves into consideration when she compared people to shit-eating dogs.
But her words are generally irrefutable. The gods have indeed hated her to their core.
First, a large number of clones of the God King and Demon King were trapped on the Origin Wall, and then in the process of restarting the universe during the Crisis on Infinite Earths, they swept through all the gods through "The Legend of the God of War".
During the zero-hour crisis some time ago, she not only did not turn back, but took the opportunity to correct the history of the "Martial God King". Instead, she strengthened the historical facts and kept the current timeline unchanged.
If there was a chance to kill her, the gods would have done it long ago.
Harley continued: "If the gods turn their attention to the human world, they will definitely change your destiny, but it will not affect me. They have long pinned their eyes full of hatred and malice to me.
If I kill Hecate, it doesn't mean the magic debt is completely over.
There is someone behind her, or if Hecate is not completely dead, she and the person behind her will hate me to the core.
In this way, the 'person Hecate hates the most' and the 'greatest enemy of the source of magic' were all replaced by me from the gods.
Doesn’t this mean that the debt crisis is passed on to me?
If the gods knew about this, it wouldn't be surprising if they continued to set off fireworks in the sky to celebrate for ten thousand years.
They will die of joy."
"This" everyone was dumbfounded. Her worries were likely to happen. If it did happen, it would be really frustrating.
"So, we wait for the alien civilization to ask for help, and watch the sun-devouring beast disappear on its own initiative in the material universe, instead of taking the initiative to attack with Dusk?
In the future, when Hecate breaks through the seal, she will seek out the gods as soon as possible.
Only after defeating the gods can she target us.
After the Stranger's enlightenment, I wonder if Hecate will no longer regard the human world and us as targets of revenge." Bateman said slowly.
The heroes had complicated expressions on their faces, but no one spoke up to object.
Doing so will doom many civilizations whose names they don't even know to disappear into the winter night.
But they and the Earth will be safest.
Harley herself won't become Hecate's archenemy.
Hal's expression changed several times, and just as he was about to speak, Harry waved his hand and said, "You have misunderstood, I can accept both options, the key is up to you.
I'm not afraid of being targeted by Hecate.
Adding up all my enemies, at least seven or eight Darkseids are as strong as each other. Adding one more Darkseid will only increase the "power factor of Harley's enemies" by about ten percentage points, just a drizzle!"
The heroes were speechless.
Neptune couldn't help it anymore, "You are so arrogant, be careful your enemies can't help it anymore and join forces to deal with you."
"What are you afraid of? You can't run away if you can't beat me? Going to Silver City to kill me is as difficult as rushing to the spring to grab someone's head in the game 'Injustice.'" Harley said with a proud smile.
"Injustice" was made into a 5V5 battle game in Dota mode by her a few years ago.
"Not to mention, I often use 'Superman' to activate the 'Man of Steel' skill and chase the opponent's heroes to the depths of the spring." Dachao said seriously.
The Flash also said: "If you activate the 'Flash's' 'Speed' skill, you can also enter the spring to grab people's heads."
Bateman said: "Batman's batarangs also have a chance."
Wonder Woman said: "Wonder Woman's lasso can pull the hero out from the spring."
Martian Manhunter said slowly: "'Martian Manhunter' can use 'Phase State' and 'Charm' to deal with the enemy heroes by the spring."
Harley sneered: "That's because there is no Harley Quinn character in 'Injustice', otherwise it would be too buggy and no one would be able to play it!"
