Since the Supreme and Powerful One is not from the other side of hell, then who is He?
New questions appeared in Harry's mind.
“Has Mammon found the murderer?” Harley asked.
Etrigan shook his head and told everything he knew.
“It’s impossible, why can’t you just use the strength of the Demon Lord...”
Harley frowned slightly, "My sister died" said it herself, Xanadu died by the highest level of means, and even broke through the death saving throw barrier.
Well, ‘My sister’s death’ has given Xanadu the blessing of being immune to the most fatal blow.
But there is no need for Etrigan to lie. Onema is only blind, and Mammon is fine.
Could it be that the supreme being pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger?
Unlike Mammon, although he was not dead or injured, he was not misled by a false future.
Mammon saw nothing.
Etrigen asked curiously: "How do you know these things?"
Harley hesitated for a moment and said frankly: "If other people ask, I will lie.
Said that I gave Midnight Dad fifty million dollars and a building in the bustling downtown area of Manhattan. That building is his hometown and has special meaning to him.
He promised to help me find out about hell, and also helped me deliver false news.
But you are my friend, and of course I will not lie to my friends. I did bribe Midnight, but I didn’t believe him at all, and I deliberately asked him to deliver the news that I wanted Mammon to know.
That’s the message I predicted about Operation Mammon.”
Etrigan nodded and said: "Midnight is just a grass on the wall. Hell and heaven fall on both sides. You are right not to trust him."
Then he frowned and said: "Even if a few fortune tellers die in Mammon, what impact will it have on him?
Once he knows that you are aware of his actions and has a strong ally, he will definitely prepare a stronger back-up force.
It seems that He will take action himself, and you will be even more in danger.
This result, no matter how you look at it, you will suffer a loss."
"Who said that the strong man is my ally?" Harry smiled bitterly and shook his head: "He is a supreme existence and almost killed Madam Xanadu who helped me with divination.
I was not sure of His identity and attitude, so I deliberately tested Mammon.”
“Well, he is actually a passerby watching the excitement.” Etrigan was stunned, “Isn’t your situation worse?
Not only do you not have strong allies, you also make Mammon think you have allies. The big killing move Mammon has prepared for it will eventually fall on you."
“In the whole hell, I only fear your boss Lucifer, not that I look down on other demon kings arrogantly.
With the Three Palace Demon as a formidable enemy, the other demon kings can only make matters worse.
As long as it is confirmed that no Supreme Being has joined Mammon's team, whether Mammon takes action personally or not has no fundamental impact on me." Harley said.
Etrigen said: "I think you should run away immediately whether Mammon takes action or not.
The Supreme Being will stab you to death with one finger.
Mammon will kill you with one slap.
The ‘Mammon Mercenary Group’ will beat you to death with three punches and five kicks.
The process is different, but the results are the same.”
"Running away is indeed the safest, but it doesn't suit my style." Harley said loudly: "Since my debut as Harley Quinn, I have overcome obstacles, braved wind and waves, and climbed mountains and seas. I have had setbacks and hardships, but I have never been a loser."
"Don't be a coward. If it were me, I would have to run. The difference in strength is too huge." Etrigan advised.
"I know it in my heart. If I really don't have a chance, I won't risk my life." Harley said.
“Okay, you can take care of yourself, I’m leaving.”
Etrigan sighed and prepared to leave.
"Wait!" Harley stopped him and asked curiously: "Why is Midnight so well-informed about news about hell?"
“He has a skull in his hand, did you know? He often calls it family.” Etrigan asked.
Harley thought for a while and said: "Voodoo sorcerers often use the skulls of family members as a medium to communicate with the undead in hell. Could it be that he relies on the souls of family members to get information?"
“That’s right, his ‘family’ is spread all over Hell, especially the upper demon’s family. Almost every demon noble has a sister of his.” Etrigan’s expression was a little unnatural.
“What do you mean?” Harley asked confused.
Etrigen said: “First, he killed his own sister and gave her soul to a great demon.
Not long after, he discovered that the sacrificed sister had far more benefits than just pleasing the devil and gaining dark magic power.
For example, help him collect news from hell.
Hundreds of years later, he sent countless sisters and brothers one after another.
As a result, he became the world’s biggest peddler of information about hell.”
“Fake, can this happen?” Harry was dumbfounded.
Then, she stared into his eyes again and asked strangely: "He also gave you a sister?"
Etrigen's tawny old face blushed and nodded slightly, "I am also a man, but don't worry, I won't reveal secrets at the bedside, because I fall asleep directly after finishing my work and don't like to chat."
Harry said sternly: "Are his sisters so worthy of being so rare? I remember there are succubi in hell."
“This is like the earth’s hot dry noodles. It’s delicious, but no one eats it every day or every meal.
Well, if a man is capable, he will never be able to guard only one woman." Etrigan said matter-of-factly.
“Well, I thought you were a good guy.” Harley sighed.
“I am a good man.”
“A good man focuses on strengthening his muscles and bones and doesn’t pay much attention to women’s sex. Any good man who commits the crime of losing his bone marrow will be ridiculed.” Harry said seriously.
"Nonsense! In hell, abstinence is the only way to be ridiculed, and demons should do whatever they want," Etrigan said.
…
The Prometheus galaxy at the end of the universe.
Above the ruins of Acharath.
“How do you feel and what did you learn?”
Harley jumped onto the meteorite island and asked Bruce who was meditating in front of the statue.
“I am using ancient yoga techniques to treat a back injury.”
“Have you only learned yoga?”
Bruce sighed: “Through Teacher Asal’s teachings, I understand the true meaning of martial arts.
Martial arts and magic are two different paths. Magicians believe in miracles, so they can master the power of miracles.
Martial arts masters do not pretend to be external things, but only believe in themselves, so they can condense their martial arts will, transform their bodies, and gain a body and spirit that surpass ordinary people.
Belief is the foundation of extraordinary power.
Each person can only adhere to one idea. Martial artists and magicians have opposite beliefs. One is strong internally and the other is external. You cannot have both."
“That’s nonsense, don’t I just practice magic and martial arts?” Harley said disapprovingly.
“Have you ever experienced a transformation?” Bruce asked.
"Of course, I have experienced it twice. The second change of greed lasted for seven or eight years and has not ended yet." Harley said.
“What about physical changes?” Bruce said.
“If the change in magic power causes the evolution of bloodline, is it considered a physical transformation?”
Bruce shook his head and said: "Two years ago, I completed the physical transformation under the snow-capped mountains. There was no magic power in my body, but my physical attributes such as strength, speed, reaction, etc. were more than doubled.
In addition, the spiritual sense has also entered the state of ‘harmony between man and nature’ as the martial arts masters of the Celestial Dynasty call it, and can perceive the nearby environment and approaching dangers in detail.”
“I already have what you said.”
Bruce said: "Everything you are working hard to get now, Superman already had it when he was born. How can this be compared?"
If an ordinary mage does not steal magic power to strengthen his bloodline, his physical strength will not change with the transformation of magic."
“Besides this theory, what else have you learned?” Harley asked.
“I have mastered the technique of using willpower to condense runes, such as the Escape Pattern.” Bruce smiled.
"Uh, you also want to steal magic power?" Harley had a strange expression, "Be careful, don't end up becoming someone else's slave."
“I suggest he steal your magic.”
The statue’s eyes flashed brightly, and Asal’s gentle voice reached the ears of the two of them.
"Stealing my magic power? I've always been the only one who steals from others..." Harley was startled, then shook her head and said, "How can I steal my magic power for him?"
"Sooner or later, I have great confidence in you. You have grown so fast in the past few years." Asal exclaimed.
“If you steal my magic power, won’t you become my slave?”
Being the owner of Bateman seems quite exciting when you think about it!
“Don’t worry, I won’t steal your magic power,” Bruce’s face darkened slightly, “I don’t regard the escape from the void pattern as my major goal.”
“Well, Bruce is more suitable for the invisible pattern.” Asal said.
Harley turned her head and looked towards the blurry end of the gray void.
“Teacher Asar, the speed at which the ruins of Acharas are approaching the Wall of Origin seems to be accelerating? Is there also gravitational acceleration around the Wall of Origin?”
“There is no gravity, but the ruins are my kingdom of God, which is equivalent to a part of me. The closer I am to it, the greater the pulling force, and the meteorite island begins to accelerate.
About twenty years later, this broken land will completely fall into the wall of origin and bury me." Goddess Asar said bitterly.
Harry's heart moved, and she changed her mental voice transmission: "Teacher, can I visit you at the Origin Wall?"
Asal said: "It's very dangerous. Although there is no gravity, the environment of the origin wall is complex and changeable. If you are not careful, you will hit it."
“Now, I just hope it’s as dangerous as possible...”
The raven mark that Rachel left on Harley's eyebrows has disappeared, but the effect of locating Acharath is still retained, and as Harley's strength grows, the positioning sensor becomes more detailed and accurate.
It’s just that there is still no magic power in her body, so she cannot directly activate the mark transmission.
In his early years, Asal also considered that Harley would need to enter Acharas every now and then, so he taught her a little trick: the blood formation.
Her blood contains power. If you use it to draw a formation and activate the magic in it, you can open the portal.
Afford, Bruce, and even the Archimedes airship filled with a cabin full of food and water came this way.
Now, Harley left Bruce to continue training on the Ruin Island, and took the Black Knight with him and drove the airship to the Origin Wall.
“Omaika, it is indeed the Wall of Origin, so spectacular!”
Harley felt that she was not walking in front of a wall, but falling from outer space to the ground of the planet. The origin wall was wider than the earth, and there were no boundaries visible in all directions.
The walls are not empty, some areas are crowded with huge statues of gods... The walls that remind Harley of "Attack on Titan" are made up of giants petrified hand in hand.
Of course, the origin wall is too vast, and the stone carvings are like the patterns on the dinner plate, which are just embellishments and not the main body.
“How could such a great creator create this wall?!”
"I'm here..." A weak mental wave came from the distance and passed into Harry's "Raven Seal".
She flew quickly following the wave, and saw a three-thousand-meter-tall goddess landing on the wall of origin with her butt and buttocks flailing wildly, her face still frozen with horror and confusion.
