"What, the ghost is going to die? Hahaha" Harley laughed directly, "Of course I can't miss this kind of strangeness."
The Stranger stared at her for a while, then extended an invitation to Zatanna and the "original Green Lantern" Alan Scott.
"I'm not a magician." Old Green Lantern said doubtfully.
The heroes and villains who immigrated from the underworld to the "New Earth 0" can be divided into three categories: 1. The family remains the same, and the life is perfectly integrated into the new world; 2. The family is alone, but has an "illusory" new life in the new universe; 3.
, a miserable black man with no name, no family, no friends, and no new life.
After Bateman's investigation and analysis, he came to a very cruel conclusion: the more powerful and influential the hero is, the more perfect and complete his life will be in the new universe.
For example, the old Green Lantern, as the backbone of the Justice Society, belongs to the first category.
Not only has the home not changed, it is still in the same city, with the same house, and the son and daughter are still there, and they still remember what happened before.
For example, a beautiful girl named "Dolphin" is said to be a dolphin who became a spirit through cultivation.
Well, completely transformed from a dolphin into a girl.
She belongs to the second category. Although her family is gone and her friends are gone, in the new world, even Aquaman remembers that she has an extra "false" memory that exists on the timeline.
Another example is Helena Bruce, the "Huntress" who has no superpowers, and Robin Dick, a middle-aged man who also has no superpowers. They are the third type of people.
For a pure black household, the family is gone, the household registration is gone, the life is gone, and the relatives are gone.
No one remembers them except the heroes who went to the place where time originated together.
Old Superman is not among the three types of people. Although he is powerful and famous, this new universe is dominated by Earth 0, which already has Superman.
It is also because the old Green Lantern Alan Scott has a perfect family and a happy life. He looks good and has a good temper at the moment. When a stranger comes to save the "culprit" ghost, he is not ridiculed or full of anger like Harley.
His face was unhappy.
"You are actually a magician." The Stranger lowered his head and looked at the ring on his right hand, "Your green light energy is different from that of the Oa people."
"There is indeed something different. My lantern does not need to be charged." The old Green Lantern said.
Stranger glanced at the heroes with different expressions and said: "I will explain to you when we get to the Tower of Destiny."
During the Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Stranger spent most of his time on Earth 2 and became a member of the Justice Society. He was old friends with the old Green Lantern and the old Flash.
So Alan Scott didn't refuse.
The Stranger opened a portal, and Harley followed him in on Yibi, followed by Zatanna and Old Green Lantern.
They were teleported to the entrance of the Tower of Destiny and were taken to the dimensional room by Doctor Destiny: a huge stone cave inside, with a deep rock shaft in the center of the cave.
The ghost returned to its normal human body shape, half-suspended in the shaft, motionless, speechless, and not even breathing, like a dead corpse.
A circle of magic masters gathered around the wellhead. They raised their hands, and the magic power in their bodies spurted out from their hands, forming a colorful magic cloud above the wellhead.
"Hey, you are opening the river of time? It seems that you are planning to extract the magic power from it." Harry lowered his head again and carefully felt the ghost at the bottom of the well. His heart moved and he wondered: "Is it possible that the energy of the ghost remains in the river of time and cannot be returned?"
Coming? Hahaha”
At the end of the sentence, she couldn't help but laugh with gloating.
Dr. Destiny said in surprise: "Harry, you are so sharp. With just one glance, you can detect the breath of the river of time, and even sense that magic is being drawn out of the river."
His eyes gradually became thoughtful, "Last time on the expedition to the origin of time, you suddenly jumped out of the time bubble and entered the mother river of time. What is your ability?
By the way, you asked me to borrow a magic book related to the time flow earlier, so it seems that everything is not a coincidence."
"Haha, I made it very clear when I asked you to borrow the book that I need to develop the power of Manhattan in my body." Harley chuckled.
"Well" Dr. Destiny also recalled that she did say that at the time.
"What abilities have you developed?" he asked curiously.
Harley waved her hand, "Hey, forget it, I can barely survive in the river of time. It's too far behind Dr. Manhattan's 'across the river of time'."
Dr. Fate suspected that she was not telling the truth, but he did not press forward with questions.
His eyes swept over the faces of Harley, the old Green Lantern and Zatanna, and said solemnly: "At the end of the universe restart, a huge shock wave erupted from the hand of creation.
The explosion happened so suddenly that the essence of the ghost scattered on the river of time had no time to recover, so it joined us across the long river of time and returned to this earth and this point in time.
Losing power, the ghost falls unconscious.
We must summon back the "divine essence" He left behind in the river of time.
Because we need ghosts and his power to save the earth."
"Why are Harley and the Anti-Monitor okay? Harley is still holding the hand of creation." Zatanna asked doubtfully.
"This" Dr. Fate is a little embarrassed.
He wants to say that Harley has the power of Manhattan, but the Anti-Monitor is in the same situation as the Ghost and does not have the power of Manhattan.
He also wanted to say that the Anti-Monitor took the initiative, so he was not directly impacted by the power of the Hand of Creation, but Harley was more passive than the two of them, and even pointed his finger at him, holding hands with the Hand of Creation.
He also wanted to say that the ghost's power attributes were not suitable for that kind of environment, but he had the power of God, which was obviously more advanced than the power of Harley and the Anti-Monitor.
No matter if you compare it horizontally or vertically, or from any angle, you can only come to one conclusion: the ghost stretches the hips too much.
Or, the ghost has ulterior motives and is too purposeful, trying desperately to modify reality.
Because of all the efforts, all the power will be spread out, but the power to "call stop" is in Harley's hands. Just when his power is exhausted, she declares the end of the game.
"Maybe the ghost is worried about the world, exerting too much force and exerting all his energy"
"The energy in my body has also been drained." Harley laughed.
"Alas!" Dr. Destiny wanted to cover his face, "The ghost needs help anyway, are you willing to do your part, for him and for the sake of the earth?"
"I don't know magic." Old Green Lantern said.
The Stranger immediately explained: "Your portable lamp is different from Green Lantern's. It is made of a magic lamp pot."
"What lamp kettle?" Alan asked doubtfully.
The Stranger said: "A long time ago, the Guardians of the Universe tried to eradicate all magic in the material universe.
They succeeded and they failed.
They successfully collected and sealed all the magical power in the material world at a certain point in history into a sphere called the 'Star Heart'.
But we all know that the source of magic is in Limbo!
It's no use just cleaning up the magical elements in the material world.
The key is that the master of the magic power in the Star Heart is still there, and those magic powers begin to corrode the Star Heart.
In the end, the 'evil consciousness' was born in the heart of the star, turned into a ball of green flames that took away some of the energy characteristics of the green light, and flew away."
"Ah, you mean, there is a devil inside my portable lamp?" Old Green Lantern was startled, then shook his head and said, "It has never bewitched me."
"Alas, evil consciousness is just a name for a guardian. In fact, it is the master of the magic power who has plotted against him. He wants to steal the energy of the green light and create a thought clone from the magic power." Stranger sighed.
"I don't quite understand." Old Green Lantern said blankly.
Harry exclaimed: "The little blue people are really a group of top-notch people, they can even do such cerebral palsy things as 'destroy the magic of the universe'.
Is human nature twisted and too greedy? Or is human nature twisted and too arrogant and ignorant?"
The Stranger shook his head and said: "When the Guardian studied science, there was no magic in the world.
At least magic power has not yet appeared in the material world.
Once magic appears and flourishes, it is reasonable for them to want to study the ‘new power of the universe’.”
"Isn't it right? Do you need to collect all the magic power in the universe to do research?" Harley asked doubtfully.
The stranger hesitated and said: "Magic power is too similar to the green light energy. They are both miraculous powers created out of nothing."
Harley sneered: "In order to monopolize the power of miracles? It's like some unscrupulous multinational companies in the United States. After acquiring competitive national companies in other countries, they do not manage them well and deliberately abolish them to ensure that their own junk products have no competition.
opponent."
"You are too prejudiced against the Guardians and think the worst in everything. In fact, they are the same as heaven, belonging to the party of order and kindness, and have made great contributions to maintaining the peace of the universe." Stranger frowned.
"At least you told the truth, heaven is the same as them." Harley chuckled.
"Harry, you seem to have a deep prejudice against heaven!" The stranger said calmly.
"No, no, no!" Harley waved her hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "I love God, I love heaven. I have shed blood for Christianity and done meritorious service. Please don't slander me and let me build a project worth hundreds of millions."
The money was wasted."
The Stranger ignored her and asked the old Green Lantern: "Alan, do you understand now?"
"My lamp furnace evolved from the 'Star Heart', so it has magical properties?"
Old Green Lantern just lacks knowledge and is not stupid. After hearing this, he became vaguely aware.
The stranger said: "It's just a small fragment of the heart of the star. The sages of the Celestial Dynasty have a saying that is very good. There are fifty days in the Great Evolution, and nine out of forty of its uses, one of them can be escaped.
Your lantern is the "one" that has escaped. Without the master of magic power, the master of the green lantern has also been lost."
Having said this, he glanced at Madam Xanadu who was working hard to cast spells at the well, "If it hadn't been for my intervention, it would have been possessed by Madam Xanadu forever."
Xanadu reacted immediately, took the magic power back into his body, wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked over and asked, "When did it happen?"
"In the Yuan Dynasty, when you served as the 'Prophet of the Western Regions' for Emperor Kublai Khan." Stranger said.
Xanadu's emerald eyes suddenly shrank, "Could it be that green, magic pot? The magic pot is the embryo of the green lantern?"
The stranger nodded slightly.
"Ouch~" Shangdu was furious, yelled, and rushed over to scratch the stranger's face, "Let me just say, in the past ten years, I was like a fish in water in the Yuan Dynasty, everything went well, the emperor trusted me, and the ministers respected me
I can never stop enjoying my glory and wealth.
But as soon as you came over with that Marco Polo, something unexpected happened to me, and I had to flee thousands of miles away from His Majesty Kublai Khan, who trusted me, and from my comfortable and comfortable home in the East.
It turns out you arranged everything!"
Dr. Fate and Zatanna stepped forward to stop the fight, preventing the two mages from wrestling awkwardly.
Well, Harley stood on the side and didn't move, fully expecting Shangdu and the Stranger to fight.
"The magic pot came from an extraterrestrial meteorite. The people of the Song Dynasty picked up the meteorite and forged it into an emerald teapot, which then became the treasure of Emperor Kublai Khan.
But he favors you very much, often takes you into the treasure house, and even lets you see the magic pot.
At that time, you were abandoned by the gods and became a mortal who lost the power of miracles. You only touched the magic pot once to activate a small amount of magic power. You want it, right?"
"Just because I have seen it and you don't want it to fall into my hands, you are planning to trick me?" Madam Xanadu's eyes were red.
