Harley suspects that the Darkseid soul that Greer obtained is not complete.
She knew an example of using the soul to occupy little Luther's body to achieve perfect rebirth, Marnou during Crisis on Infinite Earths.
On that day, Marnov only hid a small part of his core consciousness in little Luther's body, and most of his souls were restarted in accordance with the laws of the multiverse, which later became the 51 Monitors.
Counting the part of consciousness in Little Luther's body, there are exactly 52 monitors, respectively supervising the new 52-node universe.
In other words, the soul belonging to the monitor in little Luther's body only accounts for 1/52 of Marno's total volume.
Since Marnoau can divide part of his consciousness and hide it in Little Luther's body when he dies, can Darkseid hide 51 parts of his soul in Little Luther's body and let the remaining one escape quietly without anyone noticing?
Harley witnessed Darkseid's death with her own eyes.
He was penetrated through the chest by the black runner Barry and took away his soul... Harley is a little different from him now. What Harley faced was only the black runner, but the one who killed Darkseid was the fusion
Black Runner's "Barry the Dead".
The one who killed Harley was the incarnation of death, a law that didn't need to pierce her guts.
Darkseid was killed by Barry, the God of Death, his body was destroyed and his soul was taken away.
The only difference is whether the physical body is destroyed or not, and the soul suffers the same fate.
Just when the black runner was about to take away a soul, Harley decided to try it herself to see if she could break free from the shackles of death without relying on defense expertise.
The adventure was almost risk-free for her.
If she really can't stand it anymore, she will definitely activate the death defense specialty (the power of the Black Death Emperor is activated).
...
The feeling of death coming is very strange. As the black runner brings her soul into the realm of death, Harley's thoughts are more active than ever. Not to mention that she can recall every bit of life in an instant, at least a hundred times faster than usual.
more than.
This is not the hallucination of the dying.
In Harley's state, even if she is in an undead state, she will not experience hallucinations.
What causes thoughts to run faster is the environment.
It was a world of brilliant light, where everything was shining and flowing in the same direction at the speed of light.
"Is this a speed tunnel? Why does the death process manifest itself in this form?" Harley asked.
"You're talking to me? No, how can you still talk?"
The black runner was conscious and emotionless, and he was so shocked that he didn't even show a shocked tone.
"Why can't I speak? Now that I'm in a spirit state, my words are as sharp as my thoughts are." Harley said.
"Death only occurs in an instant. It is impossible for the deceased to react at this moment." The black runner said.
No matter how short a moment is, it is a period of time.
As long as a period of time can be divided again, for a very fast person, each dividing point can say a hundred words and do a hundred things. For ordinary people, one moment is not enough for a thought.
Even if the reaction speed of the gods can keep up with the speed of the speedster, the perception will become a bit "chaotic" due to the transformation of the spirit body from life to death - too many memories and thoughts will appear in the mind in an instant.
By the time one reacts, one has already stepped into the soul of death, and there is no way back.
"Hey, why are you here?"
Harley was about to talk to the black runner when a familiar voice suddenly came to her ears, and then the scene in front of her was like a huge shift in the world, suddenly from the gleaming "Light Speed Death Passage" to a pure black static space.
Completely opposite to the scene just now, there is no light, it is completely black, time in the space stops, movement stops, and even thinking activities are almost stagnant.
This is a pure "death" realm, as if everything in the universe will eventually wither here!
"Second sister? Why did I meet you so soon? I haven't entered the realm of death yet?" Harley was surprised.
In the whole space, only the second sister has color, and it is just the paleness of her skin.
Her hair, chin, lips and clothes were all black, and even the rose in her hair was withered and gray.
"Every time the deceased steps into the realm of death, I will greet them at the gate in advance, just like when they entered reincarnation, I sent them out one by one.
One comes and goes, one goes and one comes, the reincarnation continues, this is my job." said the second sister.
Harley didn't hide anything and told what she was going through.
"...The Black Runner must kill people, I thought, I can take the opportunity to understand the whole process of Darkseid being brought into the realm of death by the Black Runner.
Of course I don’t want to die. Once I’m familiar with the situation, I’ll slap him and run away, then run back the same way I came.”
After finishing speaking, she added: "Second sister, I have no intention of provoking you. The black runner has his own consciousness. He is obviously the same as the Black Death Emperor. He belongs to you, but has nothing to do with you."
The second sister said calmly: "Theoretically, any act of escaping death is a provocation to me, whether the New God dies from the Black Runner or the Lantern dies from the Black Death Emperor, but this theory is limited to normal death.
Such attempts to control the law of death, the incarnation of death to create magical magic, and the escape and avoidance of such magic are not within my management authority, and I have no interest in managing them.
Just because I saw you, I was curious, so I came over to take a look."
Harley said in surprise: "I thought all death belonged to 'death', but I didn't expect there was such a difference. Well, if I think about it carefully, it seems to make sense."
New gods without godhead die from old age, sickness, and are killed, all of which are considered normal deaths. After death, their souls are taken away by the black runners.
If you control the black runner to kill people, it is equivalent to a living person violating the authority of "death".
You have already violated the authority of "death" through your actions, and you still expect "death" to ensure that death happens as usual. How frustrating it must be for "death"!
The second sister doesn't want to feel aggrieved, and no one can make her feel aggrieved.
"That guy Darkseid must have known this rarely known rule for a long time, right?"
Harley thought about Darkseid again.
Before, everyone, including her, believed that Darkseid's soul was brought into the realm of death by the gangster Barry, and that he was absolutely dead.
Now it seems that having one's soul taken away directly by a gangster does not seem to be a formal way of death.
I didn’t get the second sister’s “absolutely fatal” quality promise.
Even if the soul taken away by Heipao breaks away halfway, the second sister will turn a blind eye.
This is an obvious loophole in the rules, but most people have no chance to understand it.
A person can only die once in his life. Even those who are extremely smart and extremely lucky will not be able to escape the death caused by the "incarnation of death" if they discover this loophole during the death process.
Just like Harley, she dared to let Heipao take away her soul. One reason is that she absorbed the origin of the Black Death Emperor and opened up the death defense expertise; the other reason is that she completed the equation argument of "I am me".
The soul is already half-detached,
Without the guarantee of defense expertise, even she would not dare to try it easily.
Therefore, to discover this loophole, one must be at the top of the multiverse in terms of strength, opportunity, realm, wisdom, and experience.
"The road is ruthless and the rules are selfless. My answer to your question about Darkseid is equivalent to establishing a position between you and him."
The second sister’s tone was complex and somewhat meaningful, “I am different from Morpheus, I will not break the rules of the Endless Family for anyone.
Breaking family rules is tantamount to self-destruction.
For the people of the Endless Family, destroying themselves means destroying the rules they represent.
It is tantamount to destroying the multiverse.
I am different from others. When Morpheus dies, a new Sandman will be born, but I am death myself.
If ‘death’ is death, the resulting rule conflict will cause the final day to come earlier.”
The amount of information in the second sister's words is a bit large.
It seems that even Darkseid is not the focus, the focus is Sandman Morpheus who has already violated the commandment!
The Endless Family is the embodiment of the rules and the rules themselves.
"Rules" break the rules. If the rules are broken, the "rules" will also be broken.
"It's less than a year until the end of the final crisis." Harley seemed to be answering the question.
In order to warn her, Morpheus interfered with destiny (ps) as the incarnation of the rules, and the time was just before the fifth world was restarted.
——It’s been less than a year since the incident happened. The backlash shouldn’t come so soon. There’s still enough time to save Morpheus.
This is Harley's idea.
The second sister nodded lightly first, understanding that Harley was not completely ignorant of Morpheus's situation.
Then she shook her head slightly and said, "Even for us, one year is not too short."
——For fate to bite you, one year is neither too fast nor too slow. You don’t have much time left.
"I have actually been working hard recently and it has been very effective."
Harley felt a little helpless, but she didn't show it in her tone or expression.
Before, she only had a vague guess about Morpheus's situation.
Although Morpheus only reminded her at a critical moment, it changed her fate to a certain extent. And she was participating in major DC multiverse events such as "The Fifth World Restart", and her impact was so huge.
, which means that Morpheus has indirectly significantly interfered with the "great destiny of the multiverse".
He may suffer misfortune as a result.
She didn't go to him to verify it, but just made preparations silently - at level 140, she chose the power of destiny to activate the 14th defense specialty.
The power of destiny is mysterious, but the gods who understand the laws of destiny are very real.
Extracting the origin of the God of Destiny will definitely squeeze out some power of destiny to enable her to activate her expertise.
With the Destiny Defense expertise, you have the opportunity to rewrite the misfortune that Morpheus may suffer.
Before meeting the second sister, my guess was just a guess.
Now that the second sister had given such a hint, Harley understood it and immediately confirmed Morpheus's doom.
And the source is her, and the end is coming.
In the recent Darkseid War, two supreme beings, more than a thousand dark elites, tens of millions of new dark gods, countless billions of demons... Even if they were looted once in the final crisis, they can be recovered after restarting.
, the experience is also restored.
By the end of the war, her level was almost 140.
Coupled with the daily offerings from "Harleys" from the parallel universe, Harley is now 45% of level 140. If she doesn't activate the 14th specialty, the experience gained every day will be wasted.
But on Apokolips, a blind prophet who was suspected of being the new god of destiny was finally found on Apokolips. He was killed by Luther as soon as he showed up... If Luther had enough eyesight, he would not kill anyone but kidnap him and give it to Harley, even if
Darkseid is really resurrected, even if Greer dies and never looks back, she is willing to protect "Luthor" from falling.
"Second sister, I want to ask you something -"
"No need to ask, I can't answer." The second sister was very straightforward and didn't even wait for Harry to finish speaking.
Ha Liqi said: "I didn't even say anything, how do you know you can't answer?"
"At this moment, any of your problems are too involved. I am not you. I am unfettered and unscrupulous." The second sister sighed and said, "You can go. We will meet again next time. Maybe we can talk more about today."
What you can’t talk about.”
After saying this, without waiting for Harley's reaction, the scene shifted again. When Harley opened her eyes, she returned to the radiant "Light Speed Channel".
Her soul is still held by the black runner.
"Death only occurs in an instant. It is impossible for the deceased to react at this moment."
The black runner also repeated what he said "before".
Harley ignored it and just shouted in her heart, "Second sister, let's talk again. I have a question that has nothing to do with fate. I want to ask you."
She shouted several times, but the second sister ignored her.
Harley angrily turned around and responded to the black runner: "Didn't Darkseid react?"
The black runner remained silent, as if he didn't want to talk to her anymore.
"Hey, talk!"
The black runner continued to be silent, like a program without thought and memory.
Seeing this, Harley no longer wastes precious "moments".
She did have a question to ask her second sister, and it had nothing to do with Morpheus or fate.
She just thought about Darkseid's Omega effect through the loophole in the rules that "directly using the law of death to bring death to the living will not be recognized by the second sister".
Doesn’t the mortality characteristic of the Omega Effect have the same meaning as “bringing death directly to the target”?
The inevitable death caused by the Omega effect can be immune to the supreme, is it because this kind of death does not have the "warranty" of the second sister?
If the second sister really wants to "meet" someone, even the Creator cannot resist it.
The Creator will also die, and when he dies, he will definitely see his second sister in the realm of death.
Thinking about it on the other hand, if Harley can also add the attribute of "bringing the law of death in front of the enemy" to her moves, wouldn't her attacks also have the fatal characteristic?
If you can pull the enemy to the second sister, no one will be immune to this fatal trait.
That's what Harley wanted to ask.
As a result, before she could speak, the second sister had already drifted away, and there was no response no matter how she called.
She could only do her own research.
...
There is only "a moment" from living to the realm of death. Even if a person who learns speed can lengthen this moment tens of millions of times in terms of perception, time will eventually pass.
"Uh, heaven?"
The moment he entered the "realm of death", Harry's eyes lit up. The hazy holy white light replaced the radiant light, shining down from "above", accompanied by the sacred sounds of birds.
The smell was so familiar, Harry felt like he had returned home.
"I didn't expect that I would be promoted to heaven after death, hahaha!" Harley laughed and began to struggle.
If "death" is regarded as a verb, death is when the soul enters the realm of death from the state of life.
In the early years, Harley often engaged in "extreme rescue". As long as the soul was intercepted before it entered the realm of death, it was possible to save the person.
Once you step into the realm of death, you are truly dead.
Harley wants to personally try the process of Darkseid being killed by the gangster Barry, and of course her soul needs to step into the realm of death.
People of different faiths also enter different realms of death.
Those who believe in God go to hell or heaven, and those who believe in Zeus go to Hades or heaven.
The souls of non-believers or ordinary people who have given up their faith will naturally dissipate in Limbo. Entering Limbo is equivalent to entering the realm of death.
Black Runner Barry first took Darkseid's soul into the dead soul of the New God to complete the process of "death", and then returned to the human world and handed the soul to the Anti-Supervisor, who then gave it to Greer.
Greer finally reborn the undead into little Luther.
This is a cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
If you don't really die, you can't be reincarnated normally.
For example, a black magician takes out a living soul, plays with it for a while, and then puts it into another body.
First of all, a living person has not entered the realm of death and is not completely dead; secondly, even if it wakes up in another person's body, it is not a true reincarnation because it has not gone through reincarnation.
Darkseid died normally. If he escaped from his shell with a golden cicada, it would be after he set foot in the realm of death and received the label of "dead".
If Harley wants to imitate him, she has to step into the realm of death and then try to break free from it.
Now she is in heaven and is about to enter.
...
"Harley Quinn?"
Just when Harley was trying to shake off the black runner and escape from the realm of death, a suspicious voice came from above the white light.
"Why are you dead? Lord, Harley Quinn is actually dead, really dead!"
Before Harry could tell who was yelling, or respond, a second scream followed.
"What, Harley Quinn is dead, where is she, let me see... Oh my God, she is really dead and is being sent to heaven by the law of death."
"Let me see, ha-ha, why is Harley Quinn dead?" An angel was holding back a laugh.
"Hahahaha, Witch Harley is dead, God bless you!"
This voice was very familiar to Harry. It was an old friend, the ghost.
It has obviously changed its host, but now that it hears that Harley is unlucky, it still can't help itself.
"Ghost, shut up. Although Harley Quinn is a bastard, she is also the God of War in Heaven and the defender of Silver City...and she may not necessarily die."
This voice was also familiar to Harry. It was the Acting Lord Raphael, but his last sentence seemed to be regretful.
"She has stepped into the realm of death, why is she not dead yet?" Several voices sounded at the same time, all of them filled with unwillingness and loss.
"She took the initiative to let the black runner take away her soul. Although it was a gamble, with her character, the chance of losing her life was relatively low."
Raphael is in charge of the voice of heaven, and he can instantly understand the cause and effect, so naturally he will not be as happy as his companions.
"Alas!" A series of frustrated voices sounded.
And the archangel whispered, "Perhaps Witch Harley is really weak this time?"
"I hope so."
The voice became quieter.
If it hadn't been for the semi-transcendent spiritual awareness, which had already reached the realm of heaven, Harry almost wouldn't have heard it.
"Although the chance of Harley Quinn's complete death is low, just in case, the proper etiquette must not be broken." Raphael said suddenly.
"Etiquette... Oh, by the way, Harley Quinn's identity and status in the Silver City are almost as good as that of an archangel. When an archangel-level angel dies, the whole city must play mourning music.
All the angels stopped laughing and mourned for her together.
When the archangel’s heroic spirit returns to heaven, she must be welcomed with grand ceremony.”
The next moment, mournful trombones resounded throughout the Silver City. All angels, no matter what rank they were, received the news, put down their work, flew to the sky, or flew to the gate of heaven, lined up, bowed their hands and bowed their heads.
, singing in unison, "Welcome back, respected brave man, welcome you back, my sister..."
"Swish, swish, swish!" There were also bunches of energy fireworks shot down from "above", exploding in front of and around Harley, which was extremely gorgeous and the scenery was unparalleled.
——Huanghuang Silver City has become a place of filth and evil. Each of these archangels should fall into hell!
Harry cursed secretly in his heart, but he was highly concentrated, ignoring the magnificent scenery outside, and concentrated on studying ways to escape from the realm of death.
"Witch Harley is dead, Witch Harley is dead, Witch Harley is dead, hahahaha!"
The laughter that resounded through the sky suddenly came from "below" Harley, with a strong malice and a torrent of demonic flames.
Below heaven is naturally hell.
I don’t know whether it was because there was too much noise in heaven, which shocked the devil of hell, or whether the first descendants of hell happened to find out that "the dead ghost Harry ascended to heaven". In a short time, the whole hell was alarmed.
In other words, the First Fallen went out together and shook the whole hell.
They are demons from hell, even God curses them, so naturally they don't have to hold back like their angelic brothers.
"The Black Runner must send Witch Harley to the gate of heaven."
"Hurry, hurry, she's just a little bit closer to stepping into the gate of heaven. She can't turn back at all."
"Let's give it a blow."
"Huhu, Huhu~~~"
A group of hell demons, regardless of the majesty of the Demon King, raised their necks together and blew hard at Harley above.
Of course what they blow is not air, but magical breath.
Use the magical breath of hell to stimulate Harley's "holy soul" to float upward and enter the gate of heaven faster.
"What are the demon kings of hell doing? Why do they want to send the holy soul of the God of War back to the Holy City? According to the usual practice, shouldn't they do everything possible to stop it and curse it?"
Whether Harley has offended all the demons, she herself is not sure.
But she certainly didn't offend all the angels.
In fact, except for the archangels who had been disgraced by her, or who had suffered overt or covert losses at her hands, most ordinary angels were in awe of her.
They didn't know the details before. They just thought that Harley really wanted to return as a hero, so they made a grand ceremony according to tradition.
If the angel really dies in battle and the holy soul returns, this ceremony will definitely be a great honor.
Now, the reaction of the demons in hell as if they were having a big day, and the "breathing" behavior of all the demons, made some angels with more flexible minds feel that something was wrong.
Especially the Heavenly God of War who returned from "below", seems to be refusing to rest in peace, and is still struggling hard at this moment: Harley is like a 40-pound carp biting a fishhook, stretching the black runner into a twisted black line, and then goes
"Swim" to the left, "swim" to the right for a while, forward for a while, and backward for a while.
The "big carp" dragged the rope in all directions, but it just wouldn't go upstream.
"The God of War in heaven is unyielding and his heroic soul returns to the human world to slay the demons!" Suddenly, a very different voice came from the angel team.
It's Harry's little brother, Father Carlisle, who is currently the general manager of the Silver City Defense Mansion.
"The God of War in Heaven is unyielding even if he dies, and his heroic soul will surely return to the earth!"
Immediately, a large group of angel warriors from the garrison followed and shouted.
But whether it was the expectations of the archangels, the encouragement of Carlisle and others, or the carnival of the devil, or even the gloating of other gods of death and god kings who came after hearing the news, they did not have much impact on Harry.
She devoted herself to studying how to escape from the realm of death without using defensive expertise and a semi-transcendent soul.
At this moment she already had some clues.
...
Apokolips, Dark King City.
"Dead but not stiff, only instincts remain... isn't that a zombie?" Luther said strangely.
"Whatever you want to understand." Harry said nonchalantly.
Dachao asked in surprise: "According to legend, vampires don't have souls, but they can move and speak. If Harley doesn't come back, will you become a vampire ancestor like Cain?"
He was demolishing steel buildings and rescuing trapped humans before, but now that he saw Harley seeking her own death, he immediately flew over anxiously.
"Stop thinking nonsense, I will definitely come back."
The semi-transcendent soul has undergone qualitative changes, and even the subconscious mind remaining in the body is much more powerful than the soul of ordinary people.
Harley's true thoughts and purposes are clear to "Zombie Harley".
"How long will it take to come back?" Greer was also very curious about her strange state at this time.
"You can do it at any time, like now, but death runners are rare. The opportunity is too rare. I don't want to give up easily." Harley said.
"What are you giving up?" Several people at the scene, as well as the heroes connected to Martian Manhunter's telepathy, all had curious faces.
"Give up trying to find as many ways as possible to get out of the realm of death." Harley said calmly.
Everyone's expressions were distorted for a while, "As many as possible..."
——We are still worried that you cannot break the law of "you cannot come back if you set foot in the realm of death", but you think there are too few ways to return... If you are so good at pretending, you must be Harley, right?
Not only did they doubt it in their hearts, they also shouted it out.
"You are Harley, right? The black runner didn't take away your soul at all."
"Of course I am me. I have completed the perfect dream demonization. Even if my soul is really dead, I will be no different from the past, and my thoughts and will will not change." Harry remained calm.
say.
She has completed the argument of "I am me". Even if the soul dies and the body gives birth to a new consciousness, the new consciousness will not be any different from the previous one.
Moreover, she also has the defense expertise of Dr. Manhattan's connection power, and her life existence field is eternal.
If it weren't for the fact that using it to regain a new life would take too long, often in units of thousands or tens of thousands of years, she really wanted to take the opportunity to give it a try.
"Pretending again..."
Dachao actually vaguely believed her words.
But her calm expression and indifferent tone made her look like she was showing off.
"She's back!" Greer suddenly widened his eyes and looked above Harry's head.
Super, Luthor, Black Iris, as well as the heroes and the new human dark god who were paying attention to this place, all looked up at the sky.
Harley was slowly setting like a little sun emitting holy white light.
It is dazzling but not dazzling at all, and the movement is very slow, ensuring that everyone can see it clearly.
"Harley, is this your soul? Why is it so shining? Is the aura so strong?" Da Chao asked confused.
The holy white light radiating from Harley's body did no harm, but when it fell on them, it was like pressing down a huge weight. The strong pressure was revealed in front of them, making the souls of the new dark gods who had lost their godhood tremble.
"If you don't shine, how can you, with your mortal eyes, see the soul of the God King? If you don't release the pressure, you will wonder if this is a false projection.
Now that I have momentum and holy light, you can be 100% sure that I have returned as the king of the realm of death, right?"
As Harley said that, she was still hovering in the air, continuously improving and reducing the soul pressure emitted, causing the body of the new human god to tremble a few times.
Seeing the look of awe on their faces, and Greer's solemn expression, she smiled lightly and returned to her body with a "swish".
"How did you do it? Can you tell me?" Greer's tone was a little urgent and her voice was trembling.
"It starts with the authority of the God-King, and involves many mysteries of the universe. Even if I tell you, you won't understand."
Greer pursed her lips and said stubbornly: "Haven't you studied many ways to escape from the realm of death? There must be one that I can understand, right?"
Harry felt a little embarrassed.
As soon as she figured out the crudest way to escape from the realm of death, she immediately ran back.
Her method of escaping, like a big black fish with its thread cut off, attracted countless people from heaven and hell to watch and yell at her, but Darkseid would definitely not use it.
His methods must be more subtle, and he can do it quietly, making it difficult for even her and the anti-supervisor to detect.
But the purpose of Harley's trip was just to verify "whether being taken away by the death runner is equivalent to true death."
She has achieved her goal.
However, seeing Greer's expression, Harry suddenly realized something: this guy wanted to learn her method to save his mother.
"Do you want to save your mother back to the human world?" Harley shook her head and said, "Your mother has completely returned to Hades. My method is only for black runners and is useless for souls that have fallen into the Kingdom of Death."
"Hades..." Greer lowered his head, something strange flashed in his eyes.
"Do you know the purpose of letting the black runner take away my soul?"
Harley asked, but without waiting for her answer, she said to herself: "I want to verify an idea in my mind, why did Darkseid summon the Death God of the New Gods to kill the anti-supervisor?
Anti-monitoring is not a new god, and the effect of black runners may not be good.
And he clearly knows that anti-surveillance has an anti-life equation.
Can part of the soul taken away by the Death Runner escape halfway?"
"Darkseid also escaped part of his soul, and he is still living well in a corner of the universe?" Dachao said in shock.
"At least there is this possibility." Harley stared at Greer and said: "I have told you so much, but I don't expect you to be able to solve this problem.
Darkseid is very cunning. You can't defeat him. Only I am his opponent. If you encounter any abnormality in the process of raising baby Darkseid in the future, don't be shy and come to Earth to find me immediately!"
Greer hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it later."
