[Comprehensive] The Great Devil

Sera stayed in that world for nearly a hundred years, gradually seized the ruling power of Niord, led the Vanir Protoss to slowly erode the entire Nine Realms, and successfully used the intimidating power of her identity as a word spirit, as well as her powerful witchcraft and divine power , allowing many races to surrender without a fight.In all regions, the atrium, which is often said to be the weakest, is the one that lasts the longest, where capable people emerge in large numbers. The so-called "rich people rely on technology, and poor people rely on mutation" This truth has been interpreted to the extreme on the earth .It took her a lot of effort to slowly settle the place, and finally heard the familiar beep, and after the despair value was reset to zero again, she withdrew and returned to the void space without hesitation.

The snake, who had tried to keep quiet since Middle-earth, finally spoke, with some meaningful tones.

【Did you know, dear...Compared with before, you have such a small change~】

Sierra, [Oh? 】

The snake pondered for a while, then commented in that thin voice, 【Well, you have become... quieter, more tired, and more indifferent—to use a metaphor, you are like an excellent climber, but gradually lose your strength. Lost interest in climbing, and can't get excited about anything~ Even if you still successfully complete the task, you are still different from before——]

Sera smiled lightly, but didn't answer, as if she was thinking.

【You also found out~】The snake hissed, 【Everything started after that person died...】

Sera asked it back with a smile, 【So what?Your job is to help me to be born again, nothing else.What does my change matter? 】

【You can't let one person affect your fighting spirit, dear Sera,】The snake's voice sounded vaguely cold,【As long as you still have a weakness...your enemies, past enemies, present, and future enemies ...they will take advantage of this without hesitation]

【Who is my enemy? 】 Serra asked, 【You? 】

【Oh Sierra, dear Sierra, you know, I will always be by your side~】

Sierra, [prove it to me]

The snake pondered for a moment, 【Look, dear, we all know that your promise and compensation are the most valuable and eternal treasures in this world】

Sera raised his eyebrows, [Really? 】

The snake continued, [A long time ago, there was a human being who obtained your precious protection because of your promise... and his race was the only one that remained unscathed after that incident— —]

[I know, you promised to give that person an incomparably precious thing... But you also need to know that love is not the only emotion in this world, I think you should try to discover some other things... and For this reason, the desire to keep fighting]

Sera sneered, 【Otherwise, what do you think I was doing before?Do you really think that they are the only ones who attract me and make me spend so much time on it? 】

But it's all for fun.

Snake narrowed his eyes, 【Oh dear, I don’t know a lot, but what I know is that... your war will become more and more difficult in the future, and you need to maintain enthusiasm and never slack off to win— —]

Sera looked at him indifferently, and said a fact that was almost confirmed without thinking much, 【I'm not a real human, am I? 】

The snake stuck out its tongue, neither admitting nor denying it.It probably involves its related permissions, and it can only make some introductory answers.

She was silent for a long time, and finally, she smiled.

[Got it] She said, [Then... let me have something that keeps me fighting—the last two worlds made me feel bored]

The snake couldn't help but slyly smiled, 【Oh Sierra...this is my Sierra】

【Believe me... the next world, even for you, will be an extremely difficult challenge】

……

……

Before Sera opened her eyes, she smelled an extremely familiar smell.

Rich, fishy sweet, like rusty metal, sticky and salty.

This smell is like her good friend. In every world, she will often get in touch with it.

Countless streams of information flashed through her mind, and memories went back one by one, and she gradually figured out what kind of situation she was in now——

Sierra Moritti, whose birth parents are both Italian, 11 years ago, that is, the year she was born, because her grandfather was more or less at odds with the local mafia-party, after the birth of a new family member, they The family immigrated to Gotham, New Jersey, on the east coast of the United States, where she was protected by her uncle's local gangster power.While neither of her parents wanted any ties to the gang, as long as she bleeds "Morritty" blood, she still has the potential to be the heir to a Gotham mafia power.

The family lived in a garden villa on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. Even though some unfriendly men and women occasionally came in and out of the house, her parents still protected her very well.They want Sera to have a happy and peaceful childhood like other people of the same age. Even though she has the blood of the Moritti family, she is a pure Italian, they still don't want her to inherit the family in the future and live a life of knife-edge. Blood never had a peaceful life.So they moved away from the weird and sharp Gothic buildings in downtown Gotham to live in a more remote and quiet suburb.

Eleven years ago, Serra Moritti had always been a passionate and bright girl, with the hotness and wildness of the Mediterranean flowing in her bones.Her mother was a well-known beauty in the local area, and she naturally became the most beautiful girl in the neighborhood.Naturally thick and slightly curly black hair, gray-blue narrow and deep eyes, and a healthier and sunnier complexion than Americans, she has been the most dazzling and outstanding girl among her peers since she was a child, and is loved by everyone, even her who is a bit too mean The unkind uncle will show a trace of warmth in his eyes when facing her smiling face.Eleven years ago, Serra Moritti was pretty much the happiest kid.

Until that day... that night like a nightmare came.

That night, the three of them snuggled up on the sofa and were watching a famous CBS soap opera "Guiding Light" to pass the time. Suddenly, they heard the sound of police in the distance. In the deep suburbs of Gotham City, it is said that a comprehensive The hospital area is constantly flashing with red and green lights.Soon, they were surprised to find that several helicopters appeared in the sky nearby, and the words "GCPD" marked on the fuselage could be vaguely seen, and the Gotham City Police Department was handling the case.They flew over the houses in a flash, and soon disappeared into the distant night sky.

The Sierra family is not surprised by this—Gotham has always been a city with simple folk customs, and the citizens’ psychology has long been trained to be invincible. There are always pistols in the drawers at home, fruit knives hidden under the pillow, and even toilets and toilets. All kinds of murder weapons can also be found under the cover of the door. If a robber with insufficient rank dares to break in without permission, he may be the one who is sent to the hospital.

However, out of caution, they each went to check whether the doors and windows upstairs and downstairs were locked.Sierra was alone on the sofa wearing pink plush and yawning sleepily. She heard her parents laughing and flirting as they went upstairs. He is a well-known pet doctor in Gotham City. He is beautiful, tall and has a friendly personality. He is praised by all the neighbors. Although his father, Fernando, is a rich second generation, he is very gentle and patient. He runs a publishing house by himself and is still very popular. Children's cartoonist.Her parents are both high-level intellectuals, they have the same views on life, and they were married out of free love, and their love remains the same after more than ten years.Sierra has long been used to facing all kinds of dog food every day when she opens her eyes. She is glad that she has such parents and a peaceful and prosperous life.

Until a long time later, the parents who went upstairs did not come down again. She was bored for a while, and finally began to feel that something was wrong. In the late autumn weather, she wrapped herself in a fluffy blanket and rubbed her slippers like a little lazy cat. Eyes walked slowly up the second floor and shouted, "Mom? Dad? Where have you been?"

"No!—Selah—no! Run—"

A shrill female voice that did not resemble her mother's usual gentle voice came from the hall on the second floor, but it was too late, Selah had already stepped on the last step, and the bright and dazzling light shone directly on her face, It also made her see everything in front of her very clearly——

The window was opened, and the cool breeze blew in unscrupulously.Both her father and mother were tightly bound with silk scarves and fixed on the back chair.Her father seemed to have fought with someone and was obviously the loser, with several scratches on his face, his head drooping weakly, and there were faint bloodshots at the corners of his mouth.Her mother was being subdued and her hands and feet were bound and pressed to the floor. Even though she struggled desperately, she couldn't resist the opponent's strength and was bound firmly.And when Sera saw all this with wide-eyed eyes, the person who had finished all this easily straightened up and met Sera's horrified eyes——

"Aha, look what I found—" The tall, thin man with green hair, pale face, and silver steel teeth, like heavy makeup, tattoos, and a purple suit, said with a viscous The slippery and crazy voice spoke, and he looked as if he had found a cute and innocent kitten, with his head tilted, his eyes flickering with crazy excitement.

"A...a fish that slipped through the net?"

Sierra Mority was stunned and didn't react at all. It was the first time she encountered such a strange and terrifying figure, and she couldn't even think of running away.Until she was lying on the floor, the mother who had been struggling was sobbing desperately, calling her name, telling her to get out of here, run!

But her eyes moved to her father who was dying from the beating, her lips trembled slightly, and she stared blankly at the generous and patient man on weekdays who hung his head and remained motionless as if he was out of breath.And the instigator stood aside happily, slowly took out a delicate knife from his pocket, and played it with his fingertips skillfully and flexibly. The cold blade touched her father's neck, and he was a little awake from the cold. come over—

"Well, well, well~" The pale-skinned man stared at her unblinkingly with terrifying gleams in his eyes, but put his hand on her father's neck and raised his head ruthlessly, the knife almost Trapped into the flesh of his neck, his voice became more and more eerie and smooth in the night, something she had never seen before, similar to frenzy and gloom, full of extreme desire for crime——

"You see, I was just passing through here, I came out of that place, just wanted to take a little walk in this beautiful weather, catch up with some old friends - I didn't intend to do it at all... It's a pity , I'm lost, uh... Indeed, Gotham is a big city, isn't it? Many people get lost in it, especially if there is no one to pick you up - I got lost and accidentally walked through your garden , and then accidentally saw the lights in this beautiful house, and accidentally heard you calling a name—"

He grinned, the corners of his scarlet mouth seemed to be smeared with blood, and he pulled it to an almost nightmarish angle, trying to learn her father's tone and voice vividly, but he learned nothing like it, his voice was shrill and exaggerated ——

"Jenny—Jenny—"

It's her mother's name.In Sera's impression, this name has always represented beauty and warmth, but when it appeared in this guy's mouth, there was only darkness and madness like a clown's ventriloquist.

Her mother looked up at her weak husband in despair, trembling with fear.

Sera stared wide-eyed, watching in horror the guy with a frenzied face, slowly moving the knife in the flesh, pulling out streaks of blood, he seemed a little puzzled, tilting his head and staring at the man standing at the stairs The girl, babbling but sincerely, said to her, "I don't like this name...not at all, it reminds me of things—you see, memories are dangerous, and I Finding my past full of troubles and anxieties--those dark and cold places, full of shadowy ghosts wishing to forget...Memory can become a loathsome little brute."

She couldn't understand what he was talking about at all, she just looked at everything in front of her in a daze, she wanted to save her parents, but she was still young, she had never experienced this, she didn't know what to do How to do it.

The man was still talking in a whispering voice, "I haven't remembered the original thing for a long time... Aha~ What a coincidence that I heard such a name on the first day I was discharged from the hospital. Guess what I said How can I repay you, dear Jenny?"

He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, he couldn't help licking his lips, and suggested excitedly and uneasily, "How about this?... I think you guys like being together very much? But why would you Like to do it? Wouldn't it be better to be alone? - You see, to me, everything is a joke - I love jokes by the way... All people value what they strive for , is actually a prank of a deformed fever disorder, so..."

The smile on his blood red lips deepened, and the tone of his voice became deeper and smoother, and she could even faintly hear the crazy and eager cooing in his throat, "—so...why don't you watch See the funny side of it? Why don't you smile, dear Jenny?"

As he said this, the knife slashed slowly but firmly across his neck. Amidst his mother's shrill and desperate screams, large streams of thick and viscous blood spurted out, instantly staining the flannel bed on his father's body red. robe.Sera watched his father twitch with his own eyes, and his throat let out a sound like a blowing bellows. An extremely painful and hideous emotion appeared in his eyes, but this expression did not last long, and soon the light in his eyes It became dim, and the convulsions stopped, only the blood gushed out from the sharply cut throat, and fell to the ground, forming a thick and sticky pool.

Jenny screamed, tears streaming from her eyes, and writhed on the floor, trying to get closer to her cooling body.But a pair of leather shoes blocked her way, she slowly raised her head——

"Oh Jenny, lovely Jenny," said the man, with his back to the light, pale green hair, no face to be seen, only a pair of scarlet lips curled up ferociously, he squatted down, and used the knife that cut her husband's throat It entered her mouth, and the strong fishy smell and coldness rushed to the bottom of her tongue——

"Don't be so hysterical, you look so pretty when you smile, you see, I like people to be more lively, I like people to smile at me, so..."

His cold and pale fingers grabbed her chin, forcing her desperate and numb eyes to meet his. He couldn't help but licked his lips, as if he was full of interest and anticipation for the moment to come—

"Let's put a smile on this face, shall we?"

The author has something to say: PS: It is said (in the comic version I read) that the name of the Joker’s dead wife is Jenny, which happens to have the same name as Sera’s mother.

Are you satisfied with the way my ugly man appeared? [Joker's nightmarish grin]
