They're strange ruins, discovered in a building of one of my labs. "He said, leading him toward the underground floor.
- I intend to show it to others. "Luthor said.
Luthor said with interest. " It will be a great tourist resort, a historical mystery.
- Why for me? You questioned Bruce.
- Wall something, like something you've seen. "Luthor said.
- I intended, to choose you as my partner, I wonder if you knew what you discovered in some caves. "Luthor said.
They walked down a narrow corridor, in its center there was a circular stone staircase, and in the center a long hole, which he saw a side entrance of corridors, and what would be a tip stalactites and stalatopmites.
There was on his right, an immense image, it was that of a dragon, or bat...
Inscriptions carved everywhere, drawings made of rock and stones.
There was a large dragon, with scaly wings, and several other sculptures, depicting a battle of monsters on a rock.
What was at its center, there was a man, and around there were several monsters, and the human image looked like...
- With you... - Luthor said.
Showing a transformation into carved stone, the various forms of monsters around.
- They worship a dragon. "Bruce said.
A man who turns into a dragon, besides coming out black smoke from the center of the dark black hole looked like an abyss.
It's good. "Bruce said. " Familiar.
- I've heard of some ancient religions. "Luthor said.
- Some ancients worshipped bats and dragons. "Luthor said. " The resemblance is striking. "Luthor said.
- You know, I've heard that you've been getting involved with some people that are not human and not even deadly.
Did you find out? You questioned Bruce.
- I also have some circles of unhuman friendships. "Luthor said.
What do you want, Luthor? You questioned Bruce.
- I'd like you to introduce me, and be my contact. "Luthor said.
- If you introduce me to your friendships...? You questioned Bruce.
All my pleasure. "Luthor said. "I present mine, you present yours. They spoke.
Then they both shook hands.
He looks like you. "Luthor said.
- This looks like an ancient religion, more precisely a cult. "Bruce said.
Let's go, let's go. "Luthor said pulling the man with him.
They went up again
I found an informant. " Said Lois, who received a message from one of the informants of the streets, with it came between the docks and the alleys of Gotham, to be kidnapped.
Bruce was following Lois, with hidden cameras between the streets, he took a camera in question, was beeping.
A few minutes earlier.
As always, Lois was ignoring the fact that Lois was in danger, she followed an informant, on the docks of Metropolis, when she entered an abandoned warehouse, being surprised and surrounded by Joker.
He cornered her, while the woman was surrounded by others of his henchmen.
What do you think you're doing? "Lois shouted.
- Causing chaos for the city. " One of the ones I get. " Said Joker kidnapping Lois Lane, she was knocked out.
The woman woke up realizing that she was in a room, knowing that it was possibly an abandoned factory, tied with leather ropes, on a bed next to her was Iris West and Lucius Fox, Steve Trevor.
You woke up. Joker said by his side, he wore a mask, and Punchline was by his side.
You can't do that. "Lois said.
Of course, I can. " Said Joker.
Imagine what Superman will do. " Said Joker. – Wonder Woman and the copy of Batman and Flash running drugged and killing one enemy behind the other are all innocent, with each of them imagining they are killing their enemies. " Said Joker.
" Just imagine that what they will do to the world until the effect of the drug passes.
"All this because of you. " Said Joker. "Because you couldn't stay home. I spoke.
You know the rules. " Said Lois, trying to get loose unsuccessfully from the leather rope.
Yes, i'm sorry. Joker said with a smile. But i don't care. I said. "Besides me making him kill you. I spoke.
"He will become a killing machine, and all around him will come with him.
"I have left clues for them to come and will kill each of you. " Said Joker. "Thinking it's me. "Said the clown smiling, until he formed a laugh.
No, i'm not. "Lois said. You can't. He cried.
Damn it. "Steve said. Imagine. "That I put a bomb in her breasts. " Said Joker.
When they arrived. "Said the clown.
They will kill you and the cities will be destroyed one by one. " Said Joker.
"And we will have many innocent people dead. " Said Joker.
- When he kills every one of you. " Said Joker. "I made sure not only him, mate. " Said Joker
- How are you going to get them to kill us one by one? " Asked Steve Trevor.
- Hallucinogens, and red kryptonite. " Said Joker. " Besides gas of fear. " Said Joker. "All in a gas prepared.
They got a message sent to all the papers; they saw that Lois was kidnapped.
There was the joker's message on the big screen.
- I'm counting the time, heroes. " Said Joker. "You have two hours to find me, and save your loves. " Said Joker, sending a kiss.
If not, the cities have bombs with time where I am, if they don't arrive on time, I blow up Metropolises, Star City, Central City and Gotham...
Damn it. – They saw the footage showing Steve Trevor, Lois Lane, Lucius Fox and Superman flew into the sky, stood still for several minutes listening to Lois' heart.
Wonder Woman was just behind Superman, almost in his direction.
I've got it. "Said Superman, he triggered the communicator from his ear. "I'm on my way, follow my coordinates. I spoke.
I'm almost after you, Superman. " Said Wonder Woman. Wait for me. She asked.
There's no time. "Superman said.
With super speed, he left a trail of blue and red, Wonder Woman was in his direction.
Superman came to a factory; he broke into the entrance.
- Damned, Joker. - You're not going to kill her. - He screamed, he was ready to run away, seeing the man of steel, being followed by Diana and Flash following soon after,
Lois was desperate, barely entered, he was knocked out by kryptonite, weakening, a gas appeared in front of him.
- No... - No... - Lois cried. Kal, get out of here.
Being late, Superman saw the Apocalypse in front of him.
- What you did to Lois. " Superman growled.
Apocalypse... - He was enraged. "I'm going to kill you, if you hurt Lois.
"It's going to blow up bombs in all five cities. " Said Joker coming out of the side of the wall, he was behind Superman with an oxygen mask.
Lois was crying.
Gases appeared and a red and green liquid dispersed through the air.
Diana arrived just behind, Damn joker, she untangled her sword, and headed towards everyone there, ready to strike a sword towards Steve, just behind Flash vine that was struck by the hallucinogen, all prepared to catch, or kill their tormentors.
What did you do to Iris, Twayne? " He questioned Barry, and soon after came Batman.
Not son. "Lucius said, they were all prepared, and Superman, ready to fly toward the sky.
Who cares about rules? " Said Joker. "May the world explode.
It all happened at once, amid tears, crying, and then the man threw, a green gas toward the ground, and then water and an electroshock wave.
All this, towards the ground, knocking everyone there, including Superman, a burst of green kryptonite, towards Superman throwing them across the factory wall, all falling to the ground, unconscious.
I do care. "Bruce said, he was standing there around them with a syringe.
How's that? – Tried Joker, immobilized, Bruce took an electroshock gun and struck him in the chest of the clown throwing him to the ground.
Bruce went towards Lois, and untied her, then he picked up a tweezers.
- He's got it in...
Silence, Lois, I know. " He said, using a scalpel, and sticking his chest, where there was a badly contained tape, he used anesthesia, on the woman, taking out the bomb, and then.
He went to a computer next door and disabled the bomb and the countdown, and the bomb.
Then he went towards each of them, who was conscious and disabled the timing, and taking them out of them.
That's good. "Bruce said.
How did you find me? " She questioned Lois, being untied.
- I put a tracker and a bug in you. "Bruce said.
But...
- You haven't changed your blouse in a week, honey. "Bruce said. Not even in a bra. I spoke.
- And how did you know he was making this specific drug.
- I put a tracker on Joker too, he didn't change his blouse. "Bruce said.
"He hasn't changed his prescription and raw material, nor his drug formula. "Well, I heard his whole plan. "
Why did you let them get here? You questioned Lois.
- I wanted to catch them at the same time, knock them out with my new gun. "Bruce said.
They were leaving, listening to the police sirens.
At what point was that? " You questioned Lucius.
" I called the metropolitan police. "Bruce said.
When did you call the police? You questioned Steve.
"Coming here, I calculated the time when they would come. "Bruce said.
They were walking down the street as Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Batman appeared.
Well. – Superman said, he was stunned, Joker, didn't move, but the clown got up unexpectedly, and threw a red gas at Superman, stunned staggering back.
He took Lois's hostage and ran, with everyone there on his tail, but in the middle of the street in the direction of his car, he drove, but was parked in the middle of the highway, they ended up a few feet toward the ruins discovered by Luthor.
Superman punched the engine of the car, sinking in front of the fissure, from the middle of the street, when he stopped, throwing the car.
While the clown did not surrender, he left using Lois as a shield, a gun toward the woman's back.
Come on, there Superman.
Everyone went towards the Joker, he was surrounded, laughing with blood, and a broken nose, around them, was Superman, Wonder Woman, and Flash.
You know, i don't know. "Said the clown, " - I know in a way that would be much better. "He said taking a bomb out of his pants. Come on heroes. He said. "I let Lois live and you kill Bruce, baby. He said.
Just imagine. " Said Joker. He sacrifices himself for Lois.
Superman at that time had no restrictions, even Wonder Woman would lack her inhibitors, still felt the effects of hallucinogens, but stood up.
- Let's heroes... – But what he had done, was muffled, Superman didn't care about anything, there were no restrictions, he pushed Lois, throwing her, he caught the clown in his hands, almost crushing them.
Lois trying to get up, she went towards Superman.
- Don't do that, you're going to regret it. "Tried Lois.
Get out of here, Lois. - Snarled Superman, without waiting for Bruce at the last moment.
He had a stick in his hands, he threw a kryptonite powder or gas, Superman sucked it, turning toward the gas, but he was not prepared for the baton, which electrocuted and bent him to the ground, increasing the voltage with a blinding light, causing Superman to bend and kneel.
Wonder Woman, they turned around. She's so much trouble. "Diana said, half dizzy.
His return arose, the other heroes, Green Arrow, J'onn the Martian, and Hal the Green Lantern.
They were making preparations, with a construct, he pulled the bomb toward the ground.
- Bruce, how long... - But he stopped in the middle of what he was going to say.
- You look so bad... - He felt stunned kneeling on the ground, he saw the star sapphire arrive.
Are you all right? "He questioned with his hands on his shoulders.
He turned towards you.
- You're a lot of work, and with a fist construct he punched unexpectedly towards Sapphire, she fell to the ground.
- I'm going to get rid of you, and I'm going to make a buck. He said. Starting a construct fight.
Superman was stunned, half hallucinating there was still the remnants of drugs in his system.
We're going to kill her, Kal. "Diana said. "She wouldn't be so much trouble if she died. "Diana said.
They all take so much trouble. "Said Flash coming right now. – They were arresting them, there was still a steam in the air, everyone was stunned, Bruce decided to put on the mask, he saw that there were vapors coming out of the Joker's car, he was apparently a drug that influenced, came out of the engine.
While the fumes took everyone around him, beginning to fight and war. – There would be carnage, if they didn't stop him, the two Martians fighting while they changed shape, Black Canary was fighting with the arrows of Green Arrow.
We're going to kill them all. "Batman said, that son of Lucius was strange.
The heroes brought all the cops and their loves, placed around there, fighting, and promising to kill them.
Kal. "Lois said. "Don't do that, you have to go back to normal. "You're no use Lois. "Superman said. " In addition to bringing problems.
"He slapped her on the face, one followed by the other, not hurting her too much with the back of his hand. "I just stay with you, to avoid trouble. "Superman said.
This gas should take away all their sanity and inhibitions, Bruce thought.
He threw her to the ground, the woman crawled backwards. Superman's eyes turned red, ready to incinerate it.
I don't need you, Steve. "Diana said. "I need a man, anyone will do. " Said Diana, she was ready to strike a blow from her sword toward Steve's head.
He tried to defend himself by pushing, but being so-headed, and with a sword near his neck, close to beheading him.
- I'm the fastest, living man, I can find any woman for me, Iris. "Barry said.
He headed to Joker who was laughing on the floor with his throat almost crumpled.
- What you did your damn.
- I took their inhibitions. " Said Joker. "They will do what they always wanted. "Said the clown. I just gave it a push. "Said the clown.
They were close to killing them, piercing their heads, with their fists, almost vibrating, Bruce ran toward a microphone, police, he picked up a baton and scratched him on the ground, drawing everyone's attention there, the sound of the scratch was deafening, he had another gun a bomb prepared.
They stopped half-stunned, he started saying.
Bruce, buddy. "Superman said with a drugged expression. What do you want? He asked.
Do you know what you're doing? Bruce questioned.
- You know what will happen if they kill. "Bruce said.
I'm about to be a widower. "Superman said.
What's next? You questioned Bruce.
We're going to keep the money. "Said Superman vulgarly swinging, looking drunk.
I'm going to stay, rich. "Barry said.
- I'm going to be a very rich princess. "Diana said.
We're going to split the money. "Hal said.
- Once on earth, I'il be happy. "J'onn said.
- Yes, you think so, is that it? You questioned Bruce.
- Their souls will be condemned. "Bruce said.
"You will remember this until the end of your lives. I spoke.
They're going to give us money. "Diana said.
"By the time I stayed with Steve, that's enough. "Diana said.
Think with me. "Bruce said. Trigon feeds on souls, his mission is to corrupt the souls around him. "Bruce said.
- That's the same thing as a politician's word on an election campaign. "Bruce said.
They can promise. "Superman said.
"They promise, yes, but they do not comply. "Bruce said.
- They want to corrupt them. "Bruce said.
"You will not give anything to any of you. "Bruce said.
- Every single one of them is a liar. "Bruce said.
Lucifer is the prince of lies. "Bruce said.
Who assures them that they will comply with your words? "Bruce said.
"You will kill him, and you have nothing but his blood and his death on his hands. "Bruce said.
- In addition to condemning themselves, they are condemning everyone who will be sacrificed to them. "Bruce said.
- You're not and you're never going to be free after that. "Bruce said.
- You will never forget these days on, and this day will be the true day, where you will never forget. "Bruce said.
- You're ignorant of thinking otherwise. "Bruce said.
Superman let Lois go, and punched the ground.
- Damn, be itthesedemons.
Right. "They said each of the heroes stopping, and releasing their opponents.
All right, i'm going to get you out "Bruce said.
They stood still, and there was a crack in the ground, following Bruce, the man dropped a smoke kryptonite bomb and an antidote toward everyone there, who coughed and recommade after a few minutes.
- Aren't you going to kill anyone else? - Asked Bruce.
They looked embarrassed, and looked toward the Joker, who was tied up and restrained and led toward an ambulance wait.
When the earth trembled more a crack, which increased with a crater that sank with everything, and with them, the first to fall, was Bruce.
Kal. "Bruce shouted. Falling off the cliff.
They all screamed then, but tried to retreat, when vehicles were driven toward craters that formed and swatheed, taking everything with him toward the cliff.
Bruce. " Superman screamed, his hands, but being raised toward his, but being carried away, Superman flew towards him to catch him, but a green glow appeared.
No, i'm not. "Said the man of steel, who lost his powers, each time, to fall upon Bruce.
Kryptonite. " Said Bruce, the first while drilling, from the shoulder to the stomach, Bruce gasped, to which he hit his head toward several ends, and a pointed rock at the end of the crack, and from the ends, he fell toward the ground, with a tassher to break the bones.
God, all superman's weight along two rocks, which pierced him horizontally, from a crooked perfection, entering from the stomach between the vertebrae and the spine, and another, almost ripping his lung piercing him and toward his shoulder almost torn from his arm.
He was bleeding, some part of him piercing Superman's shoulder, just the top, sticking, it wasn't a hole and an injury as extensive as Bruce's, both of which pierced his vertebra and spine.
Bruce had a blackout, he found himself among a light, and panting then and another blackout, he saw himself in a river of blood, spitting and seeing someone pullhim.
At that time, he was naked, there were flashof light, which led him towards that red river and his company, a beautiful white-haired androgen man, who came out and pulled him out of the river.
Bruce would come back to reality and see himself in a sea of pain, he tried to talk, but blood came out.
Is bruce with me? You questioned Superman.
- I saw such a beautiful light. "Bruce said.
"I trust you will do the right thing.
Bruce, stay with me. I said.
You're good. " Said Bruce
She's calling me. "Bruce said.
Bruce. "Superman said, he was stuck with Bruce, he wouldn't have the strength.
Don't go. "Superman said, he heard a gurging of blood, and his heart tassed, he lifted his hand that was not pierced and moved, he saw a person pulling him by the hand.
- Come with me... - That's all Bruce heard before his heart stopped.
I love you so much. "Superman said, but it was too late, his heart was no longer beating.
It was late, but the rescue, arrived, Wonder Woman, arrived helped by other paramedics and heroes, who had to use a chainsaw to pull the man from the other.
Then boot it without needing another job to disconnect superman's man.
Conventional technology could not save the man already dead, both heroes, did not give up.
His heart was still just over twenty minutes after the end of the rescue process.
They resuscitated him toward the defibrillator.
- I don't know what to do. "A paramedic said. They looked toward the dead man.
Diana. "Superman said. Will you help me? " He questioned the man of steel.
Anything at all. "Diana said.
- A copy of the purpura ray. "Superman said.
"We can bring him back. "Superman said.
Technology, and traditional science, could not do, nothing was beyond salvation, it needed to be sewn, but if he came back, he would be a vegetable.
They flew towards the Fortress of Solitude, and put him in a suspended resuscitation tank.
The computer and the robots have made their mission.
He might not wake up. "Your computer said.
No, i'm not. "Superman said, they took him to a Kryptonian resuscitation tank.
He's going to wake up. "Superman said.
They took the man in a cryogenic tank of Krypton, in the fortress of solitude, there would be no salvation, but Diana took that inert body toward the purpura rays, after reconnecting all the wires and reconstructing the damaged tissues, and connected the machines of the fortress of solitude.
There was an emergency message an alien attack, just at that time, forcing them to leave towards the fight.
It was exactly a week, until it was the end of the two-week cycle, Superman volunteered to stand next to Diana in the fortress of solitude, they were monitoring Bruce.
The man who was in a Kryptonian tank, with an oxygen hose, with a life support, still with much of his body being rebuilt and reconnected.
Bruce actually died, over several times, which made him have an encounter with each of them, elsewhere outside the realms of death and life.
He found himself at a round table, sitting around them.
Did I die? You questioned Bruce.
Yes, i'm sorry. " Trigon said. But you did well. " Trigon said.
- The serum you used helps prolong life. " Trigon said. You just spent a lifetime. " Trigon said.
- It went up in my concept. " Trigon said.
- Cool, but what's thepoint? You questioned Bruce.
You won. " Said Miguel.
I didn't kill anyone. "Bruce said.
- Yes, you prevented them from killing and their souls were not condemned to the abyss. "Neron said.
"That made him a champion, someone who without another form, did it because he believed that nothing good would come out of it. "Neron said.
He won. " Trigon said.
Do we agree? " Asked Lucifer.
We are. They all said.
- So, he managed to make sure they didn't kill. "Azazel said.
"I would say he is the great warrior who prevented them from killing. "Mamon said.
Well, congratulations. Lucifer said.
- You're going to get another chance now. "Said Azazel.
In the fortress of solitude exactly twenty minutes after Superman and Wonder Woman leave.
Without anyone knowing he'd be in a mystical meeting.
They went out and did exactly twenty minutes later and all the demons of the bet appeared in front of him, with the man unconscious, inside the tank.
Trigon appeared in front of the tank and with the touch of his demonic power opened the tank's floodgate and put him in that bed, each of them touched his body.
Bruce choked and screamed, waking up then fully recovering, jumping standing in a defensive position, but looking toward each of them.
- So... - Bruce said.
What'snext? Bruce questioned.
You know, i don't know. " Said Trigon there is more to the bet than we actually said. " Trigon said.
Come with us. " Trigon said.
Why...? He questioned.
Come on, come with us, we have a surprise. "Said Nekron.
Bruce accompanied them; he didn't seem to be there to argue.
A few days ago, in a bar...
Spent that night in the bar, simply wanted to forget, in a hidden corner of the night bar, with a huge cover, and hiding from sight, he thought that a cape would cover who he was, ledo deception, in the middle of his fourth bottle, someone sat in front of him.
When finally, touching the table, he lifted his face from the bottle, and it was...
- Trigon...?
- How?
Well, i'm going to... well... - Said the devil...
What do you want? You questioned him.
In the end, the bar darkened, and people did not leave, they observed, but not before he was overwhelmed by the presence of the devil.
I want to bet with you. He spoke.
Why...? " He thought of escape routes, but there were more around him, they were Trigon, Lucifer, Mamon, Miguel, Rafael, Azazel, Neron, Spectro, Nekron and Phantom Stranger, all sat around him at the table.
- What are you all doing here...?
We're here to bet. "Said Trigon as his spokesman.
Bet what? You questioned Bruce.
Wouldn't you be interested? - Asked Spectro.
So what are you going to bet? " He questioned Bruce seemingly with no way out.
Here's the bet. " Said Lucifer.
- At least 2 heroes from each of america's cities will kill. I said. An innocent man. " Said Lucifer.
And who says some hero will kill for each of you? Bruce questioned.
- Let's just get to the point. "Neron said.
For money. " Said Lucifer.
What's going on? You questioned Bruce.
And what do you want with that? " He questioned Bruce, he felt a headache, anger and resentment, and that he knew it was not a hangover.
For money. "Said Azazel.
A lot of money. "Neron said.
- Apparently, i'd be rich in killing. "Bruce said.
- Yes, besides greed. "Azazel said.
- Prove that even the most valuable of heroes succumb to the sins of gluttony and ambition. "Neron said.
They're not going to do that. "Bruce said.
So, if you believe that so much, Bruce, bet with us. "Said Azazel.
And what would I take with that? You questioned Bruce.
- The fact that you saved innocent people and that you stopped people from dying. "Spectro said.
You're perfect for us. "Spectro said.
- You're going to be the judge and the betting mediator. " Trigon said. "What are we doing. " Trigon said.
- And why do you think I would help you in anything, or just participate in your schemes? " Challenged Bruce.
Because if you don't take it. "Azazel said.
"We will go after another after another until we succeed, and he or she will be part of our bet. "Trigonsaid.
And they will have no choice in the end. "Said the fallen angel Michael.
- Do you think it's going to be easy like this? You questioned Bruce.
- In the absence of your opinion, others will arise. "Said Nekron.
- That's going to happen whether you want to or not. " Trigon said.
- You're just one of the chosen ones. "Neron said.
- So, what are the bets? You questioned Bruce.
- You're going to bet, or you can stop it. "Neron said.
What's the bet on you? You questioned Bruce.
Here's the bet. "Rafael said.
- The rules of the bet. " Trigon said.
Two heroes from each city at the end of two weeks. " Trigon said.
- Two sinless heroes of each city, being pure and innocent, if killing a person of their own free will must kill an innocent person without sin, after two weeks if they kill, will receive 700 billion dollars. "Azazel said.
"They may or may not kill. " Trigon said. "They are free to do so or not. " Trigon said.
–They will each receive 700 billion dollars and 30 gold bars for the first hero, if they kill seven innocent people at the end of three days. " Trigon said.
What if they don't? You questioned Bruce.
They won't get anything. "Azazel said.
Simple as that? " Asked Bruce.
It's as simple as that. "Azazel said.
What if I stop it? You questioned Bruce. "What do I get out of it? You questioned Bruce.
- Besides the fact that you stopped someone from getting killed? - You questioned Trigon.
- Will you save souls who may or may not go to my kingdoms? - You questioned Trigon. The glory of saving innocents.
Three days? You questioned Bruce.
- yes, that's enough to bring it all up.
It's all right. "Bruce said. "Anything else I need to do? You questioned Bruce.
- Observe each of the heroes who may come to kill. " Trigon said. You're going to be the judge. " Trigon said.
When are you going to do that? You questioned Bruce.
It's now. They spoke.
What's that? "But a smoke came and everyone there disappeared.
The next second, he heard a bang, and all the televisions began to drizzle, the ground trembled, the weather, was taken by a red snow, around him, heard voices.
Bruce left everything there, and when accompanied by all the people who came out of there and heard and saw Nekron himself and other heroes and all the heroic cities above the sky of the cities.
In those two weeks later, he was taken towards his mansion, he was there in that cave.
They sat down, Bruce realized he was naked, but it didn't matter.
- I was included in this bet. "Bruce said. What now? He questioned.
- You know we have a story to tell. "Mamon said.
There are eras we make bets. I said. "And we're going to tell you what it is," Mamon said.
There were ancient stories among the oldest, demons and gods, ancient entities.
To what they knew about a deity who was a great abet.
They knew he was a mediator and witness to big bets, and it was about a long-forgotten deity.
This deity who exiled himself from these worlds to other unknown worlds, and the ancient stories told that she was the greatest beter, but that her betting wheel was made in an ancient castle on the waters and mirrors of dimensions.
From time to time, during great twists and events she sent invitations between each of the kingdoms of each demon that when accepting the invitations should go to the site of the mythical waters that was between the borders, should be strictly the rules...
Yes there were rules, but it was established by the mirrors that had been in the way for a long time, an acceptance between the red and mirror nevus, there was the rule that could not be broken.
You were the ones who didn't see her hostess, who granted the bets from time to time.
She was famous for showing each of the mirrors that showed possible futures and worlds for each solution, between these worlds, they chose an avatar or mediator, would be their judge or judge.
The exact reasons for her self-exile were being the guardian of the spiritual world of the back door, so to speak, but even that did not prevent the stakes among the oldest, demons were his greatest fellow stakes.
There was the biggest bet since ancient times.
Obviously, Gotham City and Metropolis was the den of demon betting, they had fun at the expense of other humans.
There to see trigon, Lucifer, Mamon, Miguel, Rafael, Azazel, Neron, Spectro Nekron and Phantom Stranger who were sitting in what would be a room circulates between fog, white marble, pillars and white wells, which in the center of that table was a white puddle with a reflection of a person, between several mirrors.
They're gathered here because they accepted my invitation. "Said the crystalline voice in the midst of a river of several streams and cascades around what would be a world of snow.
- So, what's the bet? You questioned it.
- First let's get to the rules...
I will choose a mediator, who will be my representative, you will compel him to follow the established rules.
He will be a mortal man who has lost everything, and was a few months or years away from his death, he must be a warrior the strongest among mortals and cannot have powers.
We will choose two or more cities, we will send our avatars, and we will choose a representative, who will act for each of us. " Said the voice.
- In my case I choose the human, who lost everything, and who with that, lost the f in humanity, the one who fought for it a long time ago, and will have his life lost for it.
- I'm going to use it and you're going to use it. I spoke.
The rule is to induce gambling. I said. - Summon him to a place that is neutral and the one to have the rules.
- And if he wins, he prevents what we've done, the souls of all of them, will be mine, and I'm going to choose him as mine.
- You can choose who you want and influence everyone there, you can use your tricks, but she will not be able to use mine, only her own resources without powers.
You're going to bet with me the next thing by the book...
