The rise of comics

Chapter 22: Shocking change

The scene in front of Bruce changed, and the extremely hot breath rolled over the pavement. His feet finally stepped on the solid ground again, but they just felt very hot.

Floyd and others were standing around him, and everyone was looking straight ahead.

"Batman? We thought you were transported to some other place."

Drawn back by the movement around them, the members of Team

Especially Floyd, he stared at Bruce. At the moment he was suddenly teleported here, what he saw was Bruce suddenly slashing at the giant stone statue with a knife, but he didn't know what happened after that. .

The strange earthquake just now and the sudden space teleportation made Freud even doubt whether Bruce was responsible for it, but he had no basis for it.

"It seems that this space teleportation will send everyone to this place?"

Constantine looked at the somewhat distorted air around him that was burned by the intense heat, with a faint expression of thought.

"But what is the trigger mechanism? First Killer Frost, then us, and finally Batman."

"I don't care what the trigger is. I just want to know how we get out of this damn place."

Captain Boomerang wiped the sweat from his head and took two steps back towards Caitlin Snow, who was lying on the ground behind him.

"We're going to be cooked like steaks at this rate."

"Harley doesn't want to be a steak"

Harley Quinn let out a whimpering cry. She suddenly showed a look of realization and a bright smile. She quickly took off her purple-green baseball-style jacket and threw it aside, but her brows suddenly raised. It seemed that it was not enough. After thinking for a second, he took off the T-shirt underneath. Mark next to him suddenly saw such a scene and subconsciously licked his lips, but he was looking forward to the underwear. The show was not staged, and what made people a little speechless was that Harley Quinn was wearing a pure white vest underneath.

"It should be much cooler this way."

Only a midriff-baring vest and the denim shorts she originally wore as bottoms were left, and Harley Quinn was grinning like a child who had grown up.

"What happened to her? Why did she pass out here?"

Bruce looked at Caitlin Snow lying on the ground.

"Probably because the hot environment here caused some stimulation to her, causing her subconscious to trigger self-defense and take over her body."

Constantine squatted down beside Caitlin, observed for a moment, and then turned his gaze to the hottest center of the cave, which was the lava well.

'We don't have much time. '

Floyd said solemnly.

"If this continues, we don't have to wait until we are cooked. I just tried to talk to the boss and found that the communication signal with the outside world has been completely cut off. In just half an hour, all of us will have brains."

"Damn it, we have to get out of this place right now."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several people changed, especially Captain Boomerang. Judging from his constipated expression, he could really be described as an 'ant on a hot pot'.

"Oh? I finally know why you had to force your way in here. It turns out there are bombs placed in your heads. You were sent to die."

Constantine was slightly startled, and then a look of gloating flashed across his face.

"Shut up, you fraudster!"

Captain Boomerang glared at him angrily.

"I don't know who is chirping Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai has been making noisy noise."

Constantine obviously doesn't take Captain Boomerang seriously at all.

"It's all because of you that we're in this situation."

Mark, the weather wizard, said with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"Your damn bug didn't lead us to the magic lamp, but it brought us into this hellish place. You must find a way to get us out of here."

"I'm not as capable as you guys. If you are dissatisfied with my gold-seeking bug, you don't need to listen to any of my opinions. I'm just looking for death myself, so don't implicate other people."

"Who's the guy tied to the chains?"

Bruce interrupted the sarcasm and quarrel between several people, took a step forward, and looked at the top of the lava cave 80 meters away. Dozens of huge, burned red chains were interspersed in mid-air, and just as they were crossing At the very center, a black-haired male humanoid seemed to be asleep, with his head pulled up and quietly tied up in chains that were wrapped around and around.

"That would be Cain, or Dracula."

Constantine glanced at Bruce and whispered.

"I can feel an extremely evil and huge aura sleeping from him. I'm afraid this should be the core of Gaia's seal. If my guess is correct, the lava well in front of me is the place where all the people in the past were. The source of power used by the gods to suppress Gaia. And look at these huge chains in this cave. They seem to be randomly interspersed in this cave, but they are all made of materials we have never seen before. They can It has withstood the terrible high temperature here for thousands of years. I think these iron chains should be a transmission tool for some kind of power, just like the patterns of the magic circle. The power of the gods flows in these iron chains and this The lava well resonates in the dark, and finally forms a perfect balance and cycle to ensure the long-lasting and effective operation of the seal formation. Thousands of years have passed since Gaia's seal, but the power here is still so full. Bubu, such a perfect and powerful sealing formation, as long as there is no interference from outside forces, it will still not change in any way even if it takes another 1 years."

"Mage, I just want to know how we get out of here."

Freud looked at Constantine with a solemn expression.

"Oh, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Constantine shrugged. His attitude towards Bruce was quite patient, but others were not treated so well.

"How long has it been and you are still here playing riddles?"

Captain Boomerang gritted his teeth and almost pulled out the weapon hanging from his waist and strangled Constantine's neck.

However, he seemed to feel that the words he just shouted were a bit too loud. He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the 'man' who was tied up in iron chains in mid-air. After staring for a second, he found that there was no movement. Subconsciously he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze back to Constantine.

No one present wanted to wake up the guy who was suspected to be Cain or Dracula. Not only Constantine could feel the great danger from the opponent, but the team members present were all elites from various combat fields. For Everyone has an instinct for danger that they have honed over time. The guy suspended in the air made everyone feel uneasy and alert, as if a wild beast was sleeping soundly aside. Even if they were usually very nervous, they would not be afraid of anything. Captain Boomerang, who was not afraid, couldn't help but feel a little frightened in his heart.

"The good news is that as I said just now, according to my observation, even if another 5000 years pass, this Gaia seal should still be able to maintain normal operation, and humans outside can sit back and relax. The bad news. This is the seal here It should be impossible to get out of the ground."

Constantine said slowly.

"What did you say?"

Floyd stepped forward suddenly and pulled him up by the collar.

"You mean, we all have to die here for no reason? Don't forget, you also planted a bomb in your head. If we can't leave here within 10 minutes and return to a place where we can receive external signals, you You also need to have a bright mind!"

Constantine remained unmoved and waved his hands to break away from Freud's grasp.

"The complexity of the restrictions here is beyond my ability to understand. On the other hand, if you have to come in and die regardless of the heights of the world, I have already advised you, but will anyone listen?"

He smiled coldly and continued.

"This is the seal of Gaia, the place where the consciousness of the earth is suppressed. No one has known about the risks hidden here for thousands of years. Do you think this is playing Tomb Raider? Or some other adventure. Game? You are looking for some kind of so-called wishing magic lamp. Now you don’t even see a lamp hair, but you have all been teleported here. Speaking of which, since we are all destined to die here, maybe you are trying to get me into trouble. You can do the math.”

Seeing that the atmosphere became tense, Bruce, who was watching all this from the side, couldn't help but frown.

"I don't believe in any bullshit seal prohibition. Isn't there an exit for such a big cave?"

Mark, the weather wizard, drank in a low voice with an annoyed look on his face.

He was originally an arrogant and domineering guy, but he became a lot more honest after being trained by Amanda Waller, but this does not mean that he has truly become an obedient dog that can be driven by others. The threat of being hit by a bomb has made him endure it until now, but when Constantine said the words "can't get out", he may have bottomed out, or he may have feared the entry of the "Sword of Damocles" hanging above his head. As he watched the countdown to his whereabouts, the anger in his heart also burst out along with the extremely hot cave.

Of course, what also exploded was his power.

A fierce storm suddenly blew up in the scorching cave.

Under everyone's somewhat stunned gaze, Mark lifted his feet off the ground following the storm and flew towards the dome of the cave.

"Mark, what do you want to do!"

The oncoming strong wind carried scalding heat. Floyd was somewhat unable to open his eyes due to the sudden crazy airflow. Fortunately, he was wearing an auxiliary aiming device on his left eye. Through infrared scanning, he could see clearly. Mark, who was surrounded by the gathering storm, raised his hands.

"Damn it, stop it! What you do will cause the backlash of the sealing formation!"

Constantine's expression changed, but it was too late for him to shout in the strong wind.

A small tornado rose from the ground and rushed away everyone. Before Mark could make the next more aggressive move, the huge chains interspersed in the cave seemed to be stimulated to react, and only a scoff was heard. There was a sharp scream, terrifying white light seeping out from countless chains, and the majestic divine power rumbling like a waterfall. It instantly turned into a terrifying shock ripple, easily shattering the tornado created by Mark. , the dissipated violent airflow, along with the remnant power of the shock wave, spread loudly in all directions, sending everyone present flying backwards.

"what!"

There was a scream in the air. Not only was his superpower broken, Mark himself seemed to have been hit in the head by a giant hammer. He fell straight and rapidly like a kite with a broken string, and smashed into the earth.

'finished'

This was the first thought that came to Constantine's head after hitting the rock wall.

Sure enough, the entire Yan Cave was like a wild beast awakening. Countless thick iron chains jingled and swayed in mid-air, sparks bursting out, and the torrent of divine power rushed across. It was as if there was a deep sigh under the earth that sounded directly from everyone's hearts. , in the center of the sunwell, the man bound by chains slowly opened his bright red eyes.

fear---

This is the emotion shared by everyone present at the next moment.

Emotions are a passive response to the environment. No one knows what kind of chaotic mind is hidden under her crazy and elusive appearance. But at this moment, it is quickly swallowed up by the sea of ​​fear. Full.

What kind of experience is this?It's as if there is an endless cold that freezes people's thinking in an instant. It is the fear that comes from the most instinctive and latent depth of a life's genes. It is like an inferior creature without intelligence encountering an innate fear. The natural enemy is the indestructible ice hitting the sun, the light feeling the deepest darkness, including the most fearless warriors like Deadshot Floyd and even Bruce Wayne, who are unable to withstand the extreme. Feeling evil, the two of them were stiff and unable to move, but they also had a faint realization.

It wasn't until this moment that they understood the origin of vampires, what kind of existence the 'True Ancestor' was.

Constantine did not lie, nor did he exaggerate at all. This is the ultimate 'weapon' created by the consciousness of the earth [Gaia] specifically to eliminate human beings. Human beings were born on this planet, and they can also be destroyed by this planet. The earth is targeted by nature. This awareness of natural enemies seems to be imprinted in human genes, just like cells and viruses. They are born to be hostile existences. Even if hundreds of millions of years have passed, the life-and-death war will never stop. Can not change.

"Uh ah ah!"

Also stimulated by this was Killer Frost Caitlin Snow, who was originally in a coma.

Originally, she was unable to control her body voluntarily. In such a high temperature environment, she was forced into a deep sleep, allowing her subconscious to take over her body and emitting enough ice power to ensure that she would not be harmed. .

But as soon as the man who was bound in the chain woke up, this terrifying territorial pressure directly caused her stimulation to exceed the critical point. She suddenly opened her eyes and howled in pain. In Caitlin Snow's eyes, Although it was filled with tearing pain, it no longer looked numb and confused.

She broke her mental shackles, and actually used this great fear to break free from the brainwashing suggestions set by Amanda Waller on her.
