About that...
Later, they decided to head towards the planets that talked so much, they said some priests, that something happened for some planets to be isolated.
One thing was that they didn't deduce, it was that the barrier would not interfere with the explosion tube with barrier force, but not just one of the planets, but several planets were attacked by the beasts .
Making them in various pieces of these puzzle pieces fell on several planets, and were isolated, nothing left, nothing entered.
Tanaghar, Oa, was attacked on every planet with the exception of Apokolips and the planets of Zariel's priests, who were not attacked.
They didn't need much, other than despair and escape, and fear, widespread, it seemed that the parademons could not get through after all, and the land would be isolated, and Darkseid and Bruce would need an alternative way to get through.
The word armação, was in the face.
There was a huge creature emerging from portals, around the world, the heroes were facing them, Bruce appeared next to Darkseid, in another world, both being taken to the other side of the universe.
Darkseid learned from the trip, they stopped by passing on a planet of Zariel's religion and took the staff, and the sword of drops of blood and Bruce took it.
Tears of the Blood. - It was a raging sword , by Zariel, who liked to be used and was one of Zariel's weapons and personal treasures.
Originally a kind of WE-As, forged in previous ages, to the gods , with a life of its own, and a lot of its own personality.
The problem with the sword in question, which besides showing the darkest secrets, which the mind hid, had its effect, the sword was alive, it was wild, irritating, it cursed, it was a dirty mouth and it didn't care about anything.
Besides, she wanted to manipulate, could take shape or show a crystalline reflection of a small, simian-looking man with blue hair and red eyes.
He made sour comments and spoke the secret and hidden truth, in the reflection of the sword he showed events that were kept inside anyone.
Showing a red water barrier, in addition to the control of the element of nature, grass, earth, water, in all its forms, to which it generated the reflection of that of truths.
It was extremely sharp, at the end of its scabbard it had a red cord with a small globe, an oval stone with several diamond beads and chains, it had healing and wave properties, but it could only be used by its chosen master.
The sword that kills gods and monsters, its cut cannot be healed, if it is quoted with it, the severed limb cannot be regenerated.
It was a two-sheathed sword, red in color, it can kill and cut the other side of the sheath it can heal and bring from the dead, wounding with both parts is death to the living and life to the dead.
It reflects visions, events, moments and situations under the surface of the water if the steel of the sword is placed under it.
Those who have died can return under the control of the sword, and those who have not been cut with it, and being on the brink of death can be healed, and with it, they can be resurrected.
They were great happy zombies, or even alive.
It can also possess those who carry it if they are mentally weak
It can be used to show the true face, to reveal the stored emotions, which they do not want to reveal, just a hole, or the brightness of the emanation of the biting wind.
The ability to reveal her fears and showing the illusions of her greatest fears and desires, she loved to confuse her victims, and was able to possess whoever tried to possess her, could occupy the form and element that most inflicted harm on anyone who tried to use it and own.
She was capable of burning with fire or magic or even both at the same time, whomever had weakness with fire, water that had weakness with water, flames of magic, and heavy as a purple of a thousand pounds or more.
In addition to the secrets that did not want to be shown, he chose his master, who was Bruce, but he did not stop commenting and insulting anyone, and talking about his weaknesses .
Even though unlike the lasso of truth, could not hurt me your s tre, the sword could become intangible , or shrink to the size of a dagger, or take the form of a brooch.
In general, besides a sword, she was a motherfucker, and it was a tremendous insult to whores.
Bruce used to cut the blade a lot of his skill during the trip, in addition to a sword that cuts dimensions and realities, it could open portals and fissures .
Being there, interfering with radio waves that should be driving it in one direction only with its vibration, which did well, when they interfered with the explosion tube portal, it redirected it.
Facing some beasts from planet to planet, explosion tubes were canceled, they could not reach or leave.
Leaving marks of the symbol of the Omega Samson, in each part that was being attacked, the king was taking his troops in a straight line, to the land, and supposedly saving some inhabitants, but thousands were dying in their way.
So, they went to investigate themselves, following the tracks that that fearful asshole Bruce captured instead of eating him.
- That is a trap. - Said Darkseid.
- You were taken too far. - Said the sword.
- I believe you should follow these portals. - Said the sword.
"What do you think, are we going to let him lead us into the trap?" Bruce asked.
- Why not? - Countered Darkseid.
- I am not in a hurry. - Said Darkseid. - It's not like you say. - Said Darkseid. - Since you like to walk. - Said the new god.
"Well," said Bruce. - Walking has always been good. - He said.
- Tell her to be quiet. - Said Darkseid.
- I will not stop. - Said the sword.
- Use me and I'll stop. - Said the sword. - Besides that. - Said.
- I guide them through the memories. - Said the sword.
Bruce smiled and let himself be led through the portals.
- She never heard me. - Bruce said smiling
The sword laughed and Darkseid growled.
- You don't know how to give orders. - Said Darkseid.
- That is not true, he is my father. - Said the sword.
- Wonderful father, you didn't know how to raise or educate him . - Said Darkseid.
They were in the middle of a forest, they were taken towards a gorge, a planet out of the direction of the earth.
"Well," said Darkseid. - It's a trap. - He said.
- Yes. - Bruce said. - We were isolated.
- Don't cut them too much, kill them fast. - Bruce said.
- Why? - I wanted to know Darkseid.
- I want to resurrect them. - Bruce said.
- Who would be stupid enough to plot against us? Bruce asked.
- Crazy, imbeciles with desperate plans. - Said Darkseid.
- What do you want to bring them back to? - I wanted to know Darkseid.
- I want to get them out of control and interrogate them. - Bruce said.
- They don't speak, they are beasts. - Said Darkseid.
- I understand them, and they cannot control their actions. - Bruce said.
- I understand. - Said Darkseid, casting omega samson and wounding them in the middle of the foreheads.
- The former opponent of Zariel. - Said Darkseid.
- So you know each other? Bruce asked.
Beast monsters and monstrous and navy blue wolves came from old claws and red eyes to attack them.
- Yes. - Said Darkseid throwing omega samson towards the beasts and cutting them in half. - We have crossed paths, he is a thorn. - He said.
- I'm sure he has a death wish. - Bruce said jumping between somersaults and striking these creatures with his staff, changing their shape in a red sword and striking, cutting and wounding, there were many around, but easily slaughtered.
- How does he control them? Bruce asked.
- I believe it is for the staff. - Said Darkseid slaughtering more of these creatures, forming a mountain of corpses around them.
- Is he crazy? Bruce asked.
"No." said Darkseid. - He's envious. - Said Darkseid.
- This only serves to delay us. - Bruce said.
- I perceived. - Said Darkseid.
- Desperate, I would say. - Said Darkseid.
In the midst of his battle on the isolated planet.
The resistance of the 12 kingdoms.
Planet Dur.
Several soldiers and ships attacked from both sides, there were massacres and successive shots towards each other.
There were in another part of the galaxy, the rebels who did not accept the coronation of the new queen, and formed a resistance.
It did not take long to gather forces on both sides, there were the large floating screens that showed like a great brainwashing scheme in all regions, the attacked planets and the king blaming the usurper and Darkseid, amid the ancient fortresses, between the stone forests.
The Queen's allies were brought together to fight resistance among the inhabitants, and those who hired some mercenaries, space pirates and other survivors, alleging the fault of an imposter
They were assembled, being chosen to fight what they called the queen's mercenaries and usurpers.
There were soldiers from the palace, choosing frontline volunteers.
Amongst them was Parva Évora and Yoko, who were next to Cyborg Dragon, in disguise.
- You ... - He pointed. - You are you. - Said a soldier.
- What are you choosing us for? Asked Parva.
- Because we need soldiers, volunteers against resistance, and that we need people on the front lines.
In other words, some people would be used on the front lines as shields.
- So if the queen was chosen, why are we fighting? - He asked.
- Because they don't accept it. - They said.
- If you do not believe it, look at the screens, they show the beasts being kept away by the power of the queen. - Said.
- And the priest of Um-Mu, Jouyei was here, he is a representative that the new chosen one of Zariel's power, is an imposter. - Said.
- He would never be chosen among humans. - He said.
Everyone saw the attacks of the monsters.
- The example of the power of Zariel, as his avatar and with him comes the rains to life, and the beasts are meek. - Said.
- Do you see it raining somewhere? - Questioned the man.
- But our lands continue to die and the beasts continue to attack us.
Everyone vibrated and saw the beasts attacking worlds after worlds.
There was the new queen at the top of the palace, the priests of the kingdom were dispersed, they went into exile outside the borders, aided by the regents and rulers.
Along the borders in neighboring kingdoms, rebels and resistance were united.
This made it a great conspiracy between kingdoms.
Amid the attack of the land.
It was stopped momentarily ...
Superman and Wonder Woman flew towards the fissur and , when they were surprised, by barriers around them, an albino woman came out of a circle.
All the heroes and villains were fighting, amid a great flood of monsters around them, being slaughtered.
When they were going to destroy a tower.
- You will be well used. - Said
The creature appeared in front of them, coming out of a portal.
- What? - They said.
They were taken by waves of blue spectral energy that entered their bodies, controlling them and then attacking everyone around them, allies of monsters that appeared scattered around the earth.
Beasts and monsters came after the beast, and the spiked tower formed in the sky.
About that...
In space, on another planet.
Bruce and Darkseid managed to get out of the portal when they opened a passage in the land.
They were jumping towards an insect world, it was devastated and arid, to what they saw, they were attacked again.
- Damn ... - Said Darkseid. - He is not smart. - Said Darkseid.
- They are interfering with the coordinates of the explosion tube. - Said Darkseid.
- I'm driving while driving us. - Said the sword.
- Well, that's fun. - Bruce said. - Look on the bright side. - Bruce said being accompanied by the resurrected wolves.
- What's the bright side? - Asked Darkseid.
- We can gather allies, and heal the land, that your enemy created. - Bruce said.
- You made a good rain back there. - Said Darkseid.
- Why do you think that? Bruce asked.
- Well, it helps, doesn't it. - Said Darkseid.
- Didn't you notice something? Bruce asked.
- Besides being recorded and followed? - Asked Darkseid.
- We are an attraction and we are being filmed and conducted in different worlds, that he interfered and prevented me from negotiating the rivers of blood. - Said Darkseid.
Beyond the skies, portals opened, they looked like explosion tubes, and besides the wolves, monsters appeared, gigantic and winged birds, they were beasts, who descended with all their enormous wings and attacked them.
- Curse. - Said Darkseid. - It doesn't work that way, if I can't kill them. - Said Darkseid.
- You kill them, I resurrect them. - Bruce said.
Flying and throwing them towards the ground and hitting them.
- We can negotiate now. - Bruce said, striking his sword towards a huge gigantic and humanoid beetle.
The wolves followed them towards a sand dune, an immense and scorching sun.
- Well, thought, darling. - Said Darkseid.
They appeared flying towards both armored and giant beetle-like monsters.
Bruce jumped and delivered the blow after blows dividing them in half.
- Where were you, don't hurt him too much? - Questioned Darkseid dividing a creature in half with omega samson.
- Got behind. - Bruce said doing a pirouette and somersault and falling over another monster.
Beasts appeared around them and attacked, and they sliced them up, aided by the wolves that leapt and bit, and fought at their side.
The two opened their way, fighting, slicing and knocking ...
The wolves were fighting alongside them, biting the enemies of their benefactors.
In the end, they were close to a clay hollow village, when they were greeted by inhabitants who were being protected on the way.
They were a side effect.
- We won't kill them right away. - Bruce said.
- Let's do the recon. - Said Darkseid,
- I was going to say the same. - Bruce said.
Both left those village people, passing through a narrow walled passage towards a protected fortress.
During previous ages between the attacks and the exile and disappearance of Zariel.
The current king, tried to usurp power and steal the twin crystals, he ordered his generals and soldiers to attack those who opposed him, they say he went crazy, he simply had a taste for power.
He attacked planets after planets, he faced, subdued and killed anyone who opposed him, deceived and usurped the gems.
He kept gems and crystals in his possession, and killed thousands of inhabitants of the twelve kingdoms.
Some places, not even the palaces, the temples, were left and the orbs were taken, the twelve kingdoms were exiled, and they removed their contact with the rest of the universe.
The priests who came out of the twelve kingdoms were attacked and killed, at least those who opposed him.
- Why would he do all that? - Asked Darkseid.
- If he wanted to rule, he would not need to kill all the inhabitants of the twelve kingdoms. - Said Darkseid.
- He went crazy with the power of the crystals. - Said the new god . - I wanted to stop him. - Deducting.
- I believe it was because of the power of immortality. - Said the woman.
Again beasts appeared and attacked them all around, making everyone around them run for their lives.
Amid being helped by the inhabitants, and being led towards the village chief.
She was a small, elderly lady of brown color and long ears.
They were in a rocky temple in the midst of ruins, and monsters everywhere.
Bruce used the power of the flow to prevent them from attacking and bending it, amplifying it with his staff, but he never prevented it from coming to meet them.
There were ancient monster trees, long dead, with only their dead and twisted branches left.
Nothing that a rain of blood would not solve.
- Why don't we fly? - Asked Darkseid. - It would be faster. - Said Darkseid.
Walking through destroyed buildings and ruins, passing through a swamp with skeletons of animals.
- And stop knowing this world, or walk. - Bruce said. - We can recognize the terrains. - Bruce said.
- Know what the lands are like. - Bruce said. - And meet more allies. - Bruce said.
- I will never understand, because he likes to walk so much. - Said Darkseid.
- You know we can exercise. - Bruce said.
- And just now you said you wanted to. - Bruce said. - I am your agent of happiness, I am fulfilling your wishes. - Bruce said.
- Apparently if I wanted a cake, you would make me eat a mountain of cake until the end. - Said Darkseid.
- Do not be dramatic. - Bruce said.
- At least we can find out more. - Said Bruc and.
- Walking is cool. - Bruce said.
- You don't get tired, neither do I. - Bruce said.
Darkseid sighed and continued walking, some places were bleak.
- You know if we flew, we wouldn't know, that one day, all these skeletons were alive, there was a lot of life here. - Bruce said.
They were taken towards another temple, where in mountains the immense birds that appeared from the sky appeared, when, they freed the world from them, they were taken by a portal.
- Again, it is not. - Bruce said.
- But which direction are we in? Bruce asked.
- Somewhere between the twelve kingdoms. - Said Darkseid.
- You are, in Housou. - Said a man of red color and fox ears, wearing a suit with armor of metallic general.
Jumping and delivering a sword stroke to a huge gorilla-like beast with spider claws jumping from above by crooked branches among rocks, followed by others of its kind attacking them.
In the end, they realized that they were surrounded and fighting side by side in a circle.
Using a sword, he had an eagle-like wing, fighting around.
- Housou. - He repeated. - The land of foxes. - Said Darkseid.
Sword blows, which delivered towards the creatures they attacked, more of them jumping from the top.
- I am the son of an exile from Kinzou. - Said.
- The planet, how are you? Bruce asked.
- Falling down. - He said. - I am one of the resistance soldiers. - Said.
- What's going on with the twelve kingdoms? - Asked Darkseid.
- The beasts are attacking us. - He said.
- They are not to blame. - Bruce said,
- We can't kill them. - Bruce said,
- Tell that to them. - Said. - By the way. - Continued. - My name and Jin-Kin. - He said
They eliminated the beasts, Bruce bent down and healed the monsters.
- You are crazy? - He asked. - He will attack us. - Said.
- Will not. - Bruce said.
They got up one by one and started to speak, it was an ancient language of the beast.
- Hour, hour. - Bruce said. - Now I know more about the secrets who wants us dead.
- What they talked? - Questioned Darkseid and his new ally.
- You can't even imagine. - Bruce said.
- What happened here? Bruce asked.
They walked through gorges, while Bruce reported, apparently, that world was made up of a region, mountainous ridges, cliffs and floating mountains, were high with gorges, and steep passages.
To which there were carcasses of ships and automobiles, and an old mountain towards the other side of another mountain through long caves, long and winding passages.
- Technology has not worked here for over 6 thousand years, we need to get to the top of the atmosphere so that we can get around, or portals, but nothing works.
The oldest say that it happened, during a great war, to cemeteries of ships and carcasses.
It happened during previous ages, and during, ages ago, we learned to use magic, it seemed that the place existed due to a big interference that sometimes looks like an EMP.
- Can you take us to the resistance leader? - Asked Darkseid.
Strange trees and mountains on vines, icy mountains, and caves with inscriptions and words inlaid on the walls.
- Yes. - Said the alien. - With pleasure.
They were going through desolate lands after desolate lands, famine and plague, that world would be dead, like others, they were worlds that in some time will fall.
In a world of Housei.
They were on a planet similar to feudal Japan, if they say it would be something similar to the Edo era.
There was its ruler a yellow woman with monkey ears and clothes similar to the ceremonial kimonos of that period lost on earth.
It would be possible to offer resources if they stood beside them, it would be a hand in the wheel, they were masters in magic, but they could not go very long, they were organized, there was in one of the temples, a priest who was guarding several globes.
It was covered with ages, snow and dust and was made in the mountains.
Some resistance leaders were reporting that the site was isolated from other worlds, they maintained the lost knowledge of maps and the globes of prophecy.
During what would be an old war, one of the crystals was stolen, and before sending messages to the former regents, they were isolated.
Just over 4,500 years ago, they got some contact with the outside world, they got some resistance allies and they managed to send some messages, but nature and with them the beasts of the trees started to get out of control.
When the spears stopped bearing fruit and mad monsters attacked, some died and the lowlands lost their fertility and became a desert, until everything dried up.
They were his warriors and generals, they were loyal, and they had good food, he was prosperous and whose nature and beast men were seen as one of the soldiers and priests, guardians of the scriptures and the weapon rooms.
Natures died, with them, some who were not graced with immortality died one by one, leaving the oldest ones before the previous 6 thousand years.
The three planets of the ape men, the fox men, and the eagle men, plus some cat beasts, and feline beasts and the wolves' lands, during the split, and the great war.
The woman was explaining, they had saved the kingdom from monster attacks and set them free.
In all kingdoms, there were men beasts, earlier was what was left of the trees of the monsters that were born from the old trees.
During the dictatorship of the current king during the revolt, the king, exiled beast men were subjugated and forced into slavery, and treated less than other beings, were subjugated, mistreated and discriminated against in all kingdoms.
Here is the planet of Keizon, of the Galaxy of Han, it was no different until the revolt arose, and the rumor of the return of the avatar of Zariel, brought hope, they are the beast men, half men half beasts, metamorphic by nature.
Some younger men and women warriors, and the old ones, were cursed and transformed by the curse to lose their reason and forget that they once were a rational being, and even reason.
The suffering people had no food, other than plague and hunger, slavery, beast men, and discrimination, the beasts who were enslaved and, as they said, they were controlled by an impostor who claimed to be a false avatar of Zariel.
Each kingdom is made up of 3 to 4 planets formed by a central galaxy called the Goz-Adam Galaxy.
The Goz galaxy is made up of five central planets, touted by 12 surrounding galaxies and each galaxy is made up of 3 to 4 smaller planets, they form a circle of galaxies.
Forming the twelve kingdoms, which are surrounding galaxies.
Each of them, in previous ages, were ancient kingdoms, being legendary and each formed by 5 moons and 3 are each of the planets.
They were prosperous, an abundant region and with countless natural sources. And they had a lot of riches.
They were governed by the rulers chosen by the priests of the deity called Zariel, he self-exiled.
The stories tell that the previous ages, Zariel, granted the life of the land and the trees of life, together with the great rain of blood, and the beasts of the trees.
And the beast men were born from the trees and spears that were extinguished, they were their greatest warriors and allies,
The priests, some of them, were exiled to other planets in distant galaxies, when several of Zariel's allies turned against her, a few ages before her exile, and the planet was kept away and without communication.
They were guardians of ancient scriptures, in golden times they were spas and geysers of ancient temples and libraries.
They all lost their lives, their kingdoms ended in ruin, and few planets managed to survive.
One by one, they died, until only their descendants and only one of them remained.
- If she was so powerful, why did they turn against her? - Asked Darkseid.
- Ignorance. - Said the woman.
On all the planets, there was what they called the red crust plague.
Blood disease crystallized the blood, became blood crystals, which boiled and hardened.
Some who participated in the previous battles, were cursed in life in the last struggles of more than 3 previous years, by the priests of Zariel.
In addition to being immortal, they could not eat, drink, wield a weapon, forbidden to fight.
The same thing happened to those who did not die of hunger, died of the plague.
It spread across all Han Galaxies.
They were dead with their molten organs and their bodies scabbed with dry, hard blood.
In the midst of the plot in Radamani s kingdom , he was controlling a Kryptonian and an Amazon.
- What you want? - Asked Superman.
- I have a mission for you. - Said. - I know that was the power I so desired. - Said. - And the opportunity to kill those who so desired.
Waves of light consumed both of them, there spread with wires of energy around each of them.
Somewhere else.
There was an old tale, passed down from generation to generation.
Previous eras, in an attempt to usurp the power of the ruling kings, they lost everything, the kingdom fell into ruins, and the lands lost their green, and were dying.
Before his exile, Zariel came to each of the kingdoms and granted the renewing power of the rivers of blood, and later proposed that they be his priests, and that they could maintain the forge.
In earlier ages, she gave each of them eternal life, and youth, as long as they could keep the orbs, the twin crystals they could keep in each of the temples, and revere them.
A small group revolted when Zariel entered a war with other kingdoms, at a time after his exile, and they were divided , out of greed and envy.
As far as they knew, Zariel went into exile and left them to rule, but not everyone liked the arrangements, few of them betrayed the others and deceived them, one by one they split, taken by greed, they betrayed each other.
On another desolate planet, they passed through dry land, passing through a hot and muggy sun, the portal took you directly to a dry, lifeless desert with dry roots, passing by people who were traversing what would be horribly than what was a farm.
- Who makes a farm here? - Bruce asked in the direction of no one in particular.
- I wonder what would grow here? - Asked Darkseid observing what was once a fertile land.
Dry branches everywhere.
A gray humanoid with pointed ears, was walking through the desert, he bent down next to them.
- Nothing would grow. - He said, he wore what looked like peasant clothes, dirty and tattered.
- There is no water, it is useless. - He said.
- So, why create a farm here? - Asked Darkseid.
The man laughing, he was on the verge of hysterical laughter, when he stopped.
- I didn't, one doing it thinking there would be a desert. - Said.
- I thought if I tried hard it would be different. - Said.
- I didn't think it would be so much, that the king would help me.
- That I was not punished by the great beast at the end. - He said.
- King? - Darkseid repeated.
- Punished by the beast of the end? Bruce asked.
- Everything is the same, where did you come from? - Questioned the man.
"It's worse back there," said Darkseid.
- I knew it would happen, but I just didn't believe it. - Said. - And that's when it happened. - Said.
- Droughts, pests, plagues, hunger and finally without water began. - Said.
- And all this is the king's fault. - Said.
- How did all this happen? - Asked Darkseid.
- Wasn't it always like this? Bruce asked.
- He knows. - He said.
- You don't seem to be from here. - Said. - They are young and from far away. - Said.
- We came from Goz. - Said Darkseid.
He sighed.
- If they're here. - Said. - Then it's worse. - He said.
- Where is the palace of the last monarch? - Asked Darkseid.
- I became one of the refugees just over 2000 thousand years from planet to planet. - Said.
- My last hope and outside the galaxy. - Said. - Everything is the same. - Said. - I can only leave when the planet explodes. - Said.
- One day I was one of the army generals of the former priest and the regent king. - Said. - Before. - He said. - I know I was a fool to side with the current king. - Said.
- One of the cult priests? - Asked Darkseid.
- I thought he lied so I wouldn't kill him. - He said.
- When I realized I wasn't lying, that was when, the first time the young priestess tried to kill me. - Said. - Failed. - Said.
- In this case, when they killed my family in front of me. - Said. - That's when, I tried to commit suicide. - Said
- I spent a thousand years in the dungeons. - Said.
- Why are you loose, then? - Asked Darkseid.
- My former palace jailer. - Said. - I saw no need for me to be stuck. - Said. - Let go and not be able to get out of Han's galaxy by the curse, it's already a prison. - Said.
- He's a resistance priest. - Said. - He guards the temple of the damaged crystal, and the globes of Zariel.
- If you want, I'll take you to him. - Said.
- He doesn't do anything? - Asked Darkseid.
- He said he'll wait for my return. - Said. - He knew he read something on a globe. - Said. - E le was in the temple. - Said.
- I killed the regent, who was my master. - Said.
- He was one of the representatives. - Said. - One of the cult priests. - Said. - Since then. - Said. - I was cursed. - Said.
- I have 3,000 years of pilgrimage, seeing the desolate lands. - Said.
- Previous eras. - He said low. - When the curse fell on us. - Said. - The current king lives with twin crystals taken from the temples. - Said.
- The curse of divinity, which left us alone. - Said. - The king who wanted to rule, and killed each of the priests who will oppose him, the council was exiled. - He said.
- How do you know that? - Asked Darkseid.
- Everyone knows it. - He said. - What's the point of being immortal if you live in a dry land. - Said.
- Atone for sins and what was once the land you cultivated. - He said.
- And go hungry. - He said. - And not being able to eat. - Said. - I'm not hungry. - Said.
- I did not forget that one day Zariel came to me. - Said. - In my youth. - Said. - He came to all of us and offered the life of the land.
- And what did you turn against? - Asked Darkseid.
- Ignorance. - Said. - We were seduced by the king who always said that Zariel when he left all his life would be taken together. - Said.
- The earth holds me to it. - He said. - I can not go out. - Said. - The power of the current propels me from a cursed planet to a cursed planet, flying from period to period. - Said.
- If she left, we thought there would be no curse. - Said.
- Wouldn't you? Asked Darkseid.
- The curse stayed and the land lost life. - Said.
- And the king took all of us. - Said.
- Each of the twin crystals would maintain life and the trees of the monsters would keep protected, they would have electricity and all life, until Zariel, returned. - Said.
- In the end, when we allied with the war, we discovered too late that without the crystals, we were gradually without contact, without life, and the curse of the brand kept us alive, but not around, the green was destroyed. - Said.
- And the crystals keep the king immortal. - Said. - It was then, that we discovered too late to be on the wrong side. - Said.
- So, if you want. - Said. - I will take you to the ruins of the temples of prophecy. - Said. - But it's useless. - Said
- Why? - Asked Darkseid.
- The globes are sealed, the rooms are collapsing, and nothing is alive. - Said. - Only one opened. - He said.
- One of the floating crystals is losing its brightness and soon the life of this galaxy will fade away. - Said.
- If you were to ally yourself again. - Said Darkseid. - Would you turn against it? - He asked.
- I am no longer young, nor ignorant. - Said. - I know what awaits me. - Said. - And in case I ally myself with Zariel again. - Said.
- I know the worst awaits me if I cheat on you. - Said. - Being immortal has no advantage if you die of hunger and have no one on earth. - Said.
They looked at the old ruins, it looked like it was perched.
There sat a priest with green crystal skin. - Said.
- I waited so long. - Said the priest. - My name is Kei. - He said.
- Can we make them a deal? - Asked Darkseid.
- Why would you do business with them? - Questioned the man.
- Because he is the avatar of Zariel. - Said rising with the globe and opening it showing the image of the future that is now.
The man fell hard to the floor.
In another desolate realm.
They were on a planet formed by mountains and temples, they were one of the monuments.
A general and an adviser who were guiding through the passages in the rock.
We learned through inscriptions, and on the rocks, revealing on the rocks, that their leader of the traitors, prevented the ancient rulers from alerting Zariel, and exiled part of the twelve kingdoms that were allied with Zariel, preventing them from warning the deity.
Then, stealing one of the twin crystals from each of them that kept them young and eternal, and that caused each of the kingdoms to fall into ruin, and we were cursed by Zariel, and the earth lost strength.
- I understand. - Said Darkseid.
- Greed and envy. - Said Darkseid.
- With Zariel's return, if we went to the twelve kingdoms and knew about it ...?
- His scheme would be lost. - Said Darkseid.
- I'm smart. - Said the sword.
Interfering with explosion tubes to send us to kingdoms falling apart and being attacked frequently is not proof of intelligence. - Said Darkseid.
They went on to another trip.
As soon as they arrived, they were attacked, desolate worlds after desolate worlds.
They were facing this world, fighting and running among all the immense beetles over 2 meters high, they were strong and robust exoskeletons, purple in color, they were insects, communicating.
There were homeless people, people were running away, in the middle of it, they were long, red-skinned human beings, running to what they would be in the middle of an earthquake.
Being devoured by the creatures that emerged from the portals, ships and shipbuilding debris, exploding when attacked by the monsters.
There were thousands of buildings destroyed, and dry sources, homeless and refugees, despair, panic and hysteria.
Apparently, they were sent towards a planet about to be consumed destroyed by monsters.
Corpses were everywhere, being eaten by gigantic beasts.
Destroyed buildings, ruins everywhere, it looked like they saw that they starved, and that once was a great civilization.
They attacked a humanoid creature whose trunk was a junction between an insect and a woman ...
- Kill them all. - Said an insect woman, her body was black and purple with scales and breastplates, and her legs were as thin as an insect.
- Why do I listen, you? - growled Darkseid prepared to launch omega samson towards the insect creature.
- We didn't come here to fight. - Bruce said.
- You speak my language? - She stopped her movement.
- Do you understand her? - Asked Darkseid.
- I'm as surprised as you are. - Bruce said towards Darkseid.
- Can you take me to your leader? Bruce asked.
- For what? - She asked. - Kill them? - She did, they were surrounded.
- You attacked us first. - Bruce said. - If we wanted we would have killed them all. - Bruce said.
The insect creature, stopped, they were approaching, she raised her hand, they stopped, and spoke next.
- Follow us. - Said. - I will introduce you to our queen. - Said the insect creature.
That arid environment of dunes and buildings in ruins in the middle of the sand of an inhospitable environment, of dead and twisted trees.
That place did not seem to have natural resources, there were not many sources of food or plantations.
- Looks like they're about to die. - Said Darkseid.
- I realized that too. - Bruce said.
In the center of a ruined palace, there was an immense purple-colored oval stone floating around five other stones with humanoid features.
Purple crystals encrusted in every purple one on the planet, in all the sand, and that Bruce picked up on the way, were similar to diamonds.
