Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

Alone, under the watchful eyes of the Duke, Mary beats up Batman and Superman (plus hapless Hal).

Of course, there is no lack of acting elements in the middle, but it basically does not prevent the angry blonde woman in mid-air from venting all the depression and irritability before.

She was really good at fighting, and Bruce very much suspected that she was deliberately destroying the Duke's castle.

Facing the roaring iron fist that could push the entire earth in mid-air, Mary, who could dodge it, didn't even twitch her brows, and didn't even have the thought of dodging, but also rushed towards Superman head-on.

The moment the two collided, there was a sharp sound wave that could make everyone's ears ring from above the entire territory, and the huge aftermath shattered all the glass in the castle below into powder in an instant.

In such a terrible critical collision, Clark and Mary, who were at the core, were unscathed.

The scorching light of the hot eyes pierced through the smoke, and Mary turned her head to avoid it. In the blink of an eye, Clark followed with a punch, and the two of them fought back into a ball again, fighting each other from above the castle to the mountain range.

Same supersonic.

The same great strength.

The same invincibility.

With several loud bangs in succession, Mary and Clark almost flattened the entire mountain. Amidst the huge dust and ash, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and hit Mary directly.

The huge current and power of the lightning washed away all the dust and mud, and when the bright yellow current dissipated, Mary's figure reappeared in the pothole.

Unscathed.

"Huh, sorry...?"

A crisp voice sounded from behind.

The woman whose clothes all over her body started to burn and gave off a burnt smell raised her head, glanced lightly at Shazam behind her, stretched her hand to her waist, and took out an object that had been destroyed by lightning from her waist. The metal objects that fell off were easily crushed.

Immediately afterwards, she smiled at Shazam, raised her hand and summoned a giant tornado connecting the sky and the earth!

The entire sky turned into pitch black in an instant, and under the billowing dark clouds, a whirlwind stronger than a real hurricane swept in, crossed the river, and a huge stream of water rose into the sky.

Amidst the unbearable noise, Mary's figure reappeared in front of Bruce.

In the cover of the earth crashing, howling wind and water, she said a word to Bruce in a barely audible voice:

"ring."

Before being blown away by the hurricane, Bruce finally understood the true message Mary wanted to convey.

The most critical evidence left in the parking lot... is not a clown card, let alone a trace of magic left behind.

It was Jason who was knocked out by Mary and left before the Zhenglian personnel arrived.

……

Mary Theron.

27 years old, French, born in Marseille, with living parents, one brother and two younger sisters.

Her schooling experience is nothing special, she has always been a school girl in middle school, and she has dated a few boyfriends, a very ordinary girl.

In Mary's life, the only unusual time was when she met a strange netizen in an online forum when she was 15 years old.

This girl who was two years younger than her, who was only 13 years old at the time, was Vanessa De Capellorin.

The two of them met on the Internet for three years. Mary graduated from high school that year. For some reason, she chose the University of Washington in the United States. Vera Senna.

The above is all the information about Mary that Bruce Wayne and Cyborg have investigated before.

At that time, they didn't pay too much attention to Mary, but focused on Vera who ran away from home at the age of 16, was penniless and a criminal, and was so daring enough to elope with netizens and fled to the United States.

——To a certain extent, Vera did not deceive Barry and Jason at the time: she did run away from home, she did never use the money and identity of the Capellolins, and she did not regard the Duke as a relative .

She has been alone and alone since she left the Capellolins at the age of 16.

As a result, Mary, who showed her abilities today, slapped everyone in Zhenglian on the face.

All information about Mary Theron is false.

Her entire identity was all forged by the Capellorin family. With the Duke's influence in France, it is not difficult to fabricate such a background identity that is absolutely impossible to find out.

Judging from all the clues in the past, Vera really didn't know Mary's identity, and she always regarded Mary as the most trustworthy young lady she knew when she was 13 years old.

However, Mary is just the guardian arranged by the duke beside the daughter who has run away from home, and she is a dark chess piece in the duke's hands.

"In that case...do you still think she really intends to help us?"

On the airship, Hal said "ss" while touching the wound on his face.

He had a big bruise on his face, swollen from Mary's beating.

"...that woman is really ruthless."

After all, Green Lantern and Shazam are just fishes that got hurt. The ones who were beaten the most by Mary were Clark and Bruce. At least Bruce would never say that he was beaten badly too. Instead, Clark said calmly:

"If not, why did she keep her hand?"

Having actually fought Mary head-to-head, Clark knew that the opponent's strength and speed were comparable to her own. She thought it would be easy to kill Batman, but not only did she fail to kill Batman, but she seemed to be afraid of killing him Same, even throwing the spinning top into the water.

On the contrary, Mary really didn't hold back against Superman, and she was a blow to Clark.

"If she really gave her allegiance to the Duke, it would be impossible for Vera to return to the United States."

Bruce tapped the keyboard, "It's even more impossible to use this method to remind us."

She has always been wearing monitoring equipment, and she was able to tell the truth after being struck by Shazam's lightning.

As for such a powerful Mary, why did she take orders from Duke Capellorin...

Bruce thought for a while, and turned his attention to Jason, who had been dumbfounded since hearing the news.

He asked, "How much do you know about the ring in your hand?"

Jason shook his head with a complicated expression.

He stretched out his hand, and the ancient ring with mottled color was strangely stuck on his thumb, and he couldn't take it off at all.

"I do not know."

Recalling that gentle Christmas four months ago, the child felt a little dazed. He stroked the ring in his hand and murmured, "She just said, this is a Christmas present."

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Bruce was silent for a while, and stood in front of Jason, as if he had investigated it a long time ago, raised his hand and pressed the ring in the child's hand, and flipped a certain checkpoint familiarly.

As he fiddled, this seemingly strange ring made a "click" sound of gear movement, the hub was activated, and the deck began to rotate continuously. A small metal relief.

"...!"

Looking at the relief in the shape of a crown on the shield, Jason's eyes widened.

"It's not a Christmas present, Jason."

Bruce sighed, "This is a family seal that represents the Capellorin family."

What he didn't say was: According to the conservative rules of an ancient family like Capellolin, this seal might represent the direct inheritance right of the family, and Jason, who holds this seal, is the sole heir of the family .

What Vera gave Jason was not a "little" Christmas present.

But the wealth and power of a whole world.

Even though Bruce didn't say it clearly, Jason still sensed something.

The boy trembled all over his body, the water in his eyes flashed, and then disappeared quickly. When he raised his head again, his expression had become resolute and forbearing.

"Mary was talking about this ring?"

Jason pursed his lips, with a hint of hope, "With this ring, can I get Vera back?"

He didn't care about these things at all, he didn't care about the family, he didn't care about the inheritance rights, let alone the power and wealth, he just wanted to get Vera back.

Unfortunately, even this little hope disappeared under Bruce's shaking of the head.

"It's not that simple."

Everyone studied this ring made of special metal over and over again. It took a lot of effort and half a night to find a way to see the structure of the ring. In the relief of the shield and crown, they Found a small circular magic pattern.

"...This seems to be the activation hub of some kind of magic."

Shazam, who possesses the wisdom of Solomon, recognized it at a glance. He scratched his head, "But... it seems that it is not related to our magic."

"But it coincides with the fluctuations in the territory of the Capellolin family."

Diana continued, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Bruce, "We have to take Jason back again."

On the fourth day after losing Vera, the heroine's dark and deep blue eyes involuntarily looked towards the direction of the Capello Forest territory, like a sharp knife gleaming with cold light.

Four days, this was already the limit of her patience.

It was three o'clock in the morning on the fifth day.

Under the plan that had been arranged long ago, the crowd broke into Capellorin's territory again with almost no effort. This time, they did not alarm anyone.

Cyborg and Dick stayed on the airship for support, and the remaining five people led Jason to the castle quietly.

Under the dim moonlight, a familiar blond figure quietly stood on the top of the city wall in the interior of the castle that looked more and more gloomy at night.

In the darkness, Mary stood condescendingly, her eyes staring at Zhenglian.

When she saw Jason, who was guarded by Hal and Bruce, the cold-eyed woman softened her brows and eyes, and jumped off the city wall like a cheetah.

Even knowing that Mary would be waiting here, the superheroes still took precautions against this woman, even Jason himself.

Mary didn't care, she waited all night just for this moment.

Because she knew that Zhenglian people didn't trust her, and because time didn't allow her to explain more, Mary simply led everyone to a completely different path from yesterday.

"You have also seen the magic circle in the ring?"

Seeing that everyone's faces were the same, Mary breathed a sigh of relief. She led the crowd all the way from the city wall to the top of the castle, and whispered as she walked:

"Jason, the ring in your hand is indeed the family seal of the Capellolin family - this seal, the Capellolin family has only two. It is divided into a child ring and a mother ring, and you are wearing it in your hand." The child's ring, and the mother's ring is on the Duke's hand."

Ignoring Jason's sudden stiffness, Mary continued:

"The son's ring symbolizes the right of inheritance, and the mother's ring symbolizes the right to rule-these two rings together constitute the entire Capellorin family.

In addition, the more important point is that these two rings are inlaid with the magic passed down from generation to generation by the Capellolins. These magics protect the continuation of the blood of the Capellolins who are ordinary people. "

This ring is the hub of space magic, it can protect the castle, it is also the medium of all magic commands, it can protect the holder from the interference of certain magic elements and spiritual abilities, and it can even start some magic contracts with people, it can be called a card The final trump card of the Perolin family.

In the darkness, Batman's voice came in a low voice:

"And Vera has no idea that there is magic in this ring."

"……Correct."

Mary closed her eyes, and her voice became bitter: "She left with me before the Duke officially passed on this ring."

If Vera really accepts this ring, she will be able to put an end to all mental and magical attacks.

Even so, when she is carrying this ring, she can also resist Phoenix Girl's mental attack to a certain extent.

"So, you knew who she was from the beginning to the end, and it was the Duke's order that you took her away."

Hal paused every word, "But now you are going to rebel against the Duke for Vera—what do you want to do?"

"...Magic contract, 80 years ago, my husband and I encountered some fatal attacks. In order to avoid those people, I reached a cooperation with the Capellorin family. He protected my husband, and I took action to repay him. "

The woman didn't seem to want to answer the last question, she lightly landed on a certain spire center of the castle.

"I have reached a magic contract with the child's grandfather. I must bless the Capellorin family, and within a hundred years, protect and obey the arrangement of the ring holder."

So she would obey the Duke's orders, and after Vera gave the ring to Jason, she had to stun Jason in the parking lot in the name of protection, firstly to conceal the secret of the ring from the Duke, and secondly to prevent The child gave orders indiscriminately under agitation.

And after returning to the Capellolin family, because Vera didn't have a ring, she had to completely obey the Duke, and there was nothing she could do about the disaster Vera was facing.

"Wait - 80 years ago, what about you now?"

"I'm over 3000 years old, boy."

Pressing a certain mechanism in the center of the spire, Mary gave Hal a warning look, and waved at Jason, "Come here, I'll tell you how to use the ring."

Hal: "..."

Under the vigilance of everyone, Jason stepped forward without hesitation. Under Mary's guidance, he fastened the seal in his hand to the hub at the top of the tower.

The mysterious and complicated French incantations were slowly uttered from the boy's mouth, echoing clearly on the top of the tower.

Accompanied by his voice, the entire ring shone brightly, and blood-red lines flew across the sky from the top of the tower. With the top of the tower as the center, layers of lines continued to weave and condense, and finally formed a huge magic circle that could cover the entire castle. .

Under the guidance of the magic circle, even the moon above the head turned into a blood-red color, and the light continued to spread. The originally elegant and beautiful Capello Forest Territory has finally undergone tremendous changes.

"...!"

It was like a projection performance visible to the naked eye, a completely different world unfolded in front of Zhenglian and Jason.

Under the blood moon, the peaceful and fertile grasslands turned into a hideous and barren cemetery, the leisurely and peaceful mountains turned into hideous and terrifying devil sculptures, and the dignified and classical castles turned into a huge dark and dead prison.

Those magnificent rooms, those extravagant and beautiful decorations have become completely different.

The real Capellolin family is constantly being exposed to everyone.

Clark looked up, and the art hall that he and Bruce had stepped through during the day had turned into a huge information database, and countless computers were running continuously, circulating information and data from the entire world.

The small living room where they used to stay has turned into a cold laboratory, where countless green petri dishes are cultivating flesh and blood organs. From the computer in the laboratory, he can even clearly see the flickering lights on the screen. Previously, there was DNA information about Vera.

He clenched his fists.

Even more terrifying changes are yet to come.

With the further addition of the spell, another space hidden behind this territory finally fully unfolded to the Justice League.

Overhead, dark clouds quickly gathered.

Underfoot, the cattle, sheep and herdsmen who used to run leisurely on the grassland turned into monsters with hideous faces and dark bodies all over. Countless wailing ghosts appeared in the beautiful and fragrant flower garden. This terrifying scene is almost like hell. There is no difference.

——This is the real Capellorin family.

This is the only aristocratic bloodline that has been passed down for thousands of years and can be passed down to this day. It began to study a special magic system as early as a thousand years ago.

Although he is an ordinary human being, he can still touch the inside story of the magic side through such a long period of research and huge investment of funds.

"This fucking—"

"What, what, ghost??"

Seeing helplessly the heaven on earth turned into hell on earth, Hal and Barry spoke out in unison.

It is impossible to say that it is not shocking. Apart from Shazam and Wonder Woman, who have sensed the magic and have been mentally prepared, even Bruce, who has been guarding Jason all the time, frowned in discomfort.

Without waiting for everyone to express any opinions on this place, the moment they completely entered this world, a deafening siren screamed suddenly from the inside of the castle!

Accompanied by the scream, the blood moon above everyone's heads suddenly burst into a huge bright red light, shining directly on every monster that was entrenched outside the castle.

In the bloody light, these monsters who had been sleeping silently seemed to be awakened by something, and opened their eyes. Thousands of pairs of cold and heartless eyes emitted a cold light in the darkness.

They're looking at the Justice League.

"Come on!"

Mary picked up Jason first, and rushed straight into the castle, "The Duke found out!"

This escaping movement was like a fired gun, one after another roared from the darkness, and countless monsters and ghosts moved one after another, rushing towards the Justice League members.

"—Hey! You didn't say there was this one!"

The figure of Flash appeared beside Mary in an instant.

"I want to know, right? Of course the son's ring is not as good as the mother's ring."

Mary was unmoved, she took Jason to a certain central point quickly, and left without looking back:

"A reminder, if you are torn apart by monsters here, you are really dead."

As soon as the words fell, her figure disappeared on the top of the tower.

Barry:! ? ?

Countless monsters attacked Zhenglian people overwhelmingly. Shazam and Diana looked at each other and rushed towards the army at the same time.

Under the lightning, Clark and Bruce broke through the encirclement first, and rushed towards the direction where Mary disappeared at the same time as Barry. They rushed into the gloomy castle, passed through countless traps and magic circles, and finally caught up with Mary.

The blond woman had no pressure to deal with magical creatures. She held Jason in one hand and easily crushed a monster's head with the other.

Dirty blood spurted out, splashing Jason's face while running at high speed.

A strong vomit surged up from his stomach, and Jason, whose face turned blue from being bumped, could only hear countless explosions and roars, as well as the conversation between Mary, Bruce, Clark and others:

"Where is she?"

"She was imprisoned by the Duke at the central point of the castle, just below - it's useless to tell you, there is another magic!"

"……what?!"

Mary's growling voice suddenly became louder than a monster, and she growled:

"Vera was imprisoned in the magic by the duke, that damned, bastard, extremely disgusting shit magic needs a ring to open - Jason!"

Before he finished speaking, Jason felt that he was flying in a certain direction uncontrollably. The next moment, the ring on his finger suddenly felt hot.

Countless red lines spread out again, and in the blood-red dim light, he seemed to have passed through a thin layer of water and landed on the soft carpet.

The roar of the monster, the dialogue between Zhenglian and Mary, the scream of the ghost, and the muffled noise when the building was destroyed, all disappeared.

This is a very quiet room.

The six-year-old boy rolled nimbly on the ground, looked around, and soon noticed the movement on the other side of the room.

In the darkness, the rustling sound approached slowly.

Under Jason's vigilant gaze, the figure at the other end of the room finally appeared in front of him.

This is a little girl about Jason's height.

Under the dim candlelight, the girl's vague figure gradually became clear:

She has long light wheat-colored hair, snow-white skin, bright red lips, and she is as delicate as a little doll.

The girl in a lace nightgown walked up to Jason with bare feet and stood still. Her back was straight and her chin was slightly lowered. She stared at Jason's suddenly frozen face, and her lake green eyes were slightly lowered. , asked softly in French:

"I'm Vanessa De Capellolin."

"who are you?"
