American comics start with Zha Kang’s apprentice

The rain gradually flooded the entire street, and Newcastle seemed to have completely disappeared into the darkness, but there were still some slanted buildings that vaguely revealed their trembling outlines in the dim light.

The whole city is in fear. They seem to feel the sound of death coming just like Andre, so they stay far away, hiding in the lies built by humans and the history that will eventually become dust.

But that's only temporary.

Andre tilted his head in the car and looked numbly at the dead city trapped by the frame of the car window through the fragmented miniature world composed of countless raindrops on the car window.

They will all decay, they will all come to an end. The gap opened by the dark clouds in the dark sky is like the door that swallows the world. On the other side of the door is the end of time.

"The Tempest," an old jazz tune by Billie Holiday, played softly and inappropriately.

The slightly hoarse voice and lazy and soft tone repeated a sad story over and over again, a story of gain and loss, a story of losing oneself, and a story of constant pursuit of desire.

The moment Andre blinked, just as Billie sang "Let me walk in the sunshine again," Andre saw a man in a hooded dress standing on a street full of swirling puddles and mud. The man in the bright red coat.

Is that a man? Or a woman?

At that moment Andre realized that he couldn't recognize it at all, but he could clearly see that otherworldly yet extremely confusing and enchanting beautiful face.

Both men and women will fall in love with him or her.

Yes, Andre was extremely sure of this, because he fell in love with that person almost at this moment. He turned his head like a man possessed, and he greedily searched for that person's figure.

But that person disappeared, as if he had never appeared.

Is that an illusion? Or is it true?

Oh, God……

Andre turned his head in despair. He slowly bent down and then lowered his head. He almost collapsed at this moment. He even saw a few tears falling on the pale skin of his clenched fists due to nervousness.

Andre didn't know why he was like this or why he was so sad. He seemed to have thought that he had lost something important.

Or... it's the inner restlessness that can never be satisfied.

"The pouring rain dampens every hope I have, and this crackle, this crackle, crackle, is driving me crazy..."

The sighing and sad singing and every note of the piano pierced Andre's heart, causing him endless pain.

But Andre had long since lost his heartbeat, his heart.

Andre suddenly looked up. He knew that he was just an empty shell now. What he wanted was to be reborn and to end everything.

Really?

Andre looked out the car window blankly again. He seemed to want to find the man in the red coat. That man seemed to be no longer important.

Andre was just looking at his own blurry face on the car window covered with raindrops. The face was pitch black and was even divided into countless parts. Only two eyes were complete and shining.

Andre's eyes suddenly widened, because he was horrified to find that those eyes did not belong to him. He had never had such cold and indifferent eyes.

But I have definitely seen those eyes before somewhere. They are an impressive pair of eyes, and they have a very special look.

Chen Yu!

The moment Andre thought of the name, he saw a sharp flash of light piercing through the clouds, and thunder exploded under the beautiful scene that seemed like daylight had fallen.

The thunder drowned out the jazz music in the car, burying all the sadness and loss, and also illuminated the silver body of the revolver held in Andre's left hand.

Andre turned his head. He no longer looked at the world outside the car window. He looked ahead. He looked at the swaying wipers and the convoy driving ahead.

At this time, the "Symphony of Destiny" played.

……

Raven knelt on the blood-red ground almost exhausted, her face was covered with scars and stains, and her cloak was in tatters.

In front of her, the seven blurry and terrifying giant faces still hadn't disappeared.

...you can't win...Raven...we are born with the first sin...we feed on souls...as long as there is life...we are immortal...Raven...so are you... ...you have the greatest blessing...but you choose to side with the weakest ants...they are just our food...before it's too late...raven...join us...become us...

"Never!" Raven slowly stood up again weakly but resolutely. She looked up and glared at her brothers fiercely, "I will never let you succeed! This is my spiritual realm! As long as I don't If you are destroyed, you will be trapped here forever! Without your help, the Three Palaces will not enter quickly..."

"You are so much like your mother. Raven...she is also so stubborn, but she is still a vulnerable mortal." A low and thick voice, like countless people chanting at the same time, came from behind Raven sudden appearance.

Raven felt her blood run cold at this moment, even though she was just a reflection of her own consciousness now.

Sannomiya.

This voice definitely belongs to Sannomiya! Because when the raven was still in the temple of Acharath, he often heard the voice of the three palaces behind the weak barrier.

That sound was a terrifying echo that you would never forget if you heard it once.

The raven slowly turned her head, and the fear and despair in her heart gradually rose again.

Flames shot out from the cracks in the broken earth, they were so joyful, it was like they were celebrating.

And a blood-red shadow slowly walked towards the raven holding a twisted wooden staff amid the dance of flames.

It was a man in a black suit. He was very handsome, but the cruelty that could not be concealed under that evil smile made him look extremely ugly and terrifying. The man's forehead was convex, as if a pair of horns could emerge at any time, and his bright scarlet eyes flashed with bloodthirsty and greedy light.

"Did your mother tell you, Raven? How did she fall in love with my skin? How did she voluntarily fall into my arms?" Sangong, disguised as a mortal, opened his hands and said with a cruel smile, "I never forced her, Raven. She fell in love with me, herself..."

"That's enough! You devil!" Raven clenched her fists, but she knew she couldn't win at all.

"We are a family, Raven." Sangong stood still in front of Raven. He looked at his daughter with interest, "I gave you power, I made you an immortal existence! And yours The soul is born in darkness, and the wizards of Acharath have been deceiving you, Raven. What you are bound to is your nature. That is not evil, that is the power that controls life and death! It can create , can be destroyed, you can even become the new creator, Raven! And my conquests are all to create a true paradise! You will witness the new future with me, my daughter! You will stand beside me Beside us, always looking at our eternal empire!”

Sangong stretched out his hand to the raven, "I will not lie to you, my daughter, you are a very special existence and will be my pride. There is no reason for you to stand next to those ants who are destined to be annihilated, because you can create them , you can receive all their souls!"

Raven ignored Sannomiya's hand. She shook her head and hissed, "No!"

Sannomiya's smile slowly disappeared, but he still did not attack the raven. He just turned his back and started walking again.

Raven suddenly found that his legs were moving uncontrollably.

this is too scary!

Raven didn't expect San Gong to be able to control her mind so easily, and she didn't know how far San Gong's invasion had gone.

"Come on, I will show you the future." Sannomiya said as he walked, "You will find that I am not your enemy, and it is not me who is about to destroy everything. I will be the hero who saves the multiverse. , Raven.”

"These are all lies!" Raven shouted exhausted.

"How are you sure that those mortals didn't deceive you? How are you sure that they are not using you?" Sangong looked sideways for a moment, and he said as if he was extremely serious, "The entire universe is made up of lies, and I am the one who is in the darkness. The truth. You will believe it, my daughter, and then make your choice. This is the privilege I give you. Either side with those ants or choose your family."

Raven fell silent with a frown.

She seemed to be shaken inside.
