Where is the magic virus?

The New York superheroes live in dire straits.

...Natheri and Strange, who are far away in the Arabian Peninsula, have nothing to do with this situation.

At this moment, they are slowly walking towards the legendary Lazarus Pool under the leadership of Lars.

(Tony: Call Nathalie back! Fuck you sea kings, don’t come here! Natasha close the door! Quarantine these sea kings for me! That sea king over there is not allowed to fly... What? Are you Falcon? No no no you are now Aquaman too!)

Under the dusty night in the desert, Lars breathed out the cold wind and gravel in his hoarse and deep voice. While walking towards the depths of the cave in Lazarus Pool, he told Strange and Nathalie about the story that made him... He regretted his mistake.

The accident two years ago was originally led by Lars.

In order to achieve some of his goals, he asked the clown to create some troubles to distract Batman and Robin—he swore that at that time he really just asked the clown to distract the attention of the guardians of Gotham.

But the Joker unexpectedly kidnapped the second-generation Robin, as if to challenge the limit of Batman's endurance, he killed Robin.

Things got out of hand.

By the time Lars reacted, the deceased had already passed away, and the loss caused was immeasurable.The clown succeeded, but was imprisoned in the Arkham Asylum, and Lars could only take his responsibility amidst the guilt.

"So, I stole the kid's body from Batman and soaked it in the Lazarus Pool," Lars walked through layers of maze-like caves, and finally led the two of them to a sealed-off place. Live in front of the cave gate.

"As I expected, the child was resurrected... However, his spirit was also irreparably damaged, and then... some kind of mutation appeared in him."

The second-generation Robin who was murdered by the clown came back to life. Before Lars could be happy, he saw the bandaged young man let out a heart-piercing scream, and then had some kind of spiritual shock. Variety.

Lars clearly remembered the scene two years ago: the thin and handsome young man fell to the ground, twitching non-stop, his eyes were bloodshot, and his muscles were tense, showing that he was suffering from extreme pain. big pain.His hands didn't even have the strength to support himself, and on the exposed skin, the veins protruded, which looked extremely terrifying.

The green Lazarus pool water exudes strange energy fluctuations, like magic, and also like some kind of divine power. This kind of thing gushes out of the spring water and rushes to the young man on the ground. His hoarse and deep howl is almost It was squeezed out of the lung cavity, like the whimper of a devil in hell, and like a threat from a beast standing at the top of the food chain.

This terrifying sound—even made Lars wonder, is this really a sound that humans can make?

Even her own daughter Thalia showed a shocked expression, she tried to get close to the young man to stop him from going mad.

Immediately afterwards, beside the screaming, twitching, and struggling young man, some strange shadows suddenly appeared vaguely. Amidst such inhuman roars, those shadows with teeth and claws seemed to come from a different space. The general was released from inside, and gradually turned into an entity, turning into a huge winged lion, directly forcing Talia back.

Under the terrified gazes of the crowd, those strange black lions with flapping wings roared like a young man, and then rushed towards Lars' servants.

……

"...So, this is the origin of the Seraph Black Flame Lion in Modu's hand."

After the other party explained to this extent, Strange finally understood.

"Yes, at that time, because of these shadow creatures, the Assassin Alliance suffered a great loss," Lars replied, raising his right hand and rubbing the door of the cave, "At that time, I judged that these losses were meaningless, so I Trying to attack Robin who has come back from the dead, and completely put an end to the invasion of these monsters."

"...At that time, you entrusted Modu."

"Exactly. We found that Robin's mental state is closely related to these things. When he is unconscious or asleep, these shadows will only follow him, alerting the surrounding intruders, but when Robin wakes up Sometimes, when his mind keeps losing control, these shadows will only appear more and more around him, and show strong aggressiveness. So we first controlled Robin and re-immersed him in the Lazarus Pool , Mordo has been studying these shadow creatures."

"Unfortunately, he has studied for two years, and it seems that there is no significant result."

Strange sneered when he remembered that Modu had finally controlled a black flame lion and dared to go to Kama Taj to play wild.

"I have to say that Modu and I have always had different views on this aspect. I just want to solve or correct the mistakes I made, while he seems to be more inclined to control and use the child."

Lars didn't seem to have any intention of defending Mordo, he just cast his eyes on Nathali who was silent and seemed to be thinking about something, and asked a little sarcastically and a little tiredly:

"Ms. Uta, since you claim that the Seraph Black Flame Lion once belonged to the Vikya Empire, and after knowing this, what are you going to do?"

If the so-called Seraphim Black Flame Lion is just the extremely unstable spiritual product of a human youth, not a real creature, but this creature belongs to the planet Vicoa, what should you do?

What's more, the thick-skinned Seraphim Black Flame Lion is extremely immune to magic. Apart from opening doors and transforming the mirror space, Strange's magic has no way to play more effects—otherwise Mordo would not be able to do anything. It won't take two years of hard research to successfully transform a black flame lion.

So... Ms. Alien Knight Commander, in the face of this constant threat, what choice should she make?

Lars twitched the corners of his mouth, and gave Strange a mocking smile.

However, in the next half a second, Nathali easily broke Lars' mask.

The beautiful knight commander showed a very puzzled expression, and replied as a matter of course:

"Aside from waking him up and curing him, there seems to be no other way, right?"

Lars: "..."

He restrained his smile, and for the first time seriously looked at the beautiful-looking, sexy female knight commander, and opened his mouth, wanting to say something to Natherie.

He wanted to say that these shadow-like creatures were very difficult to deal with, and he paid a lot for it, which was a loss-making business.

He wanted to say that if he hadn't always had the purpose of redemption, and Modu had always had the mentality of using the child, in fact, the easiest and quickest way was to kill the resurrected Robin.

He wanted to say that the child had been sober for a moment, then voluntarily sank into the Lazarus Pool, and fell into a long lethargy.

After truly seeing through Natherie's essence, he suddenly didn't want to say anything anymore.

He sighed, put his hand on the switch of the cave door, and raised his hand to Natherie and Strange:

"Please?"

……

Lars may know a lot of things, but obviously, he doesn't know anything about the force value of the alien knight commander Nathalie Uta.

Unlike Modu, who was hugged by the princess and almost vomited blood, he didn't know at all that the imitation Black Flame Lion, which he said was "very deadly", was killed by Nassari in just one face-to-face effort.

So now, he could only keep a blank face, watching Natherie turn her head and tell Strange to stand in a safe place obediently, and then go in after she killed those shadow-like creatures. (Spiritual products are not counted as earthlings)

Nathali, sincerely caring: "Sir, the black flame lion is indeed the nemesis of mages. You should stay outside first, and then come in after I get rid of all the shadow-shaped black flame lions. This is safer."

Strange could only "..."

I always feel that since the modification of Natherie's magic contract, this girl's desire to protect is a bit overblown?

Nathali turned to Lars again: "Mr. Al Ghul, you should stay outside first, if you get hurt, it will be bad."

Lars also "..."

Who do you look down on with your caring for the weak, respecting the old and loving the young, girl? ?

In the end, at Natherie's insistence, Strange reluctantly gave her a quarter of an hour. If Natherie couldn't deal with the monsters within a quarter of an hour, he would use his own means to forcibly Enter the cave in Lazarus Pool and bring Nathali back.

"A quarter of an hour is enough."

As if she was finally relieved, Nathali tried her best to pull up the corners of her mouth, showed a very stiff smile to Strange, and walked into the cave through the space door that Strange opened.

At the moment when the space door was closed, there was a strange roar of the Black Flame Lion and the vibration of the rock pillars in the cave.

……

Lars and Strange stood silently outside the cave entrance, and heard the black flame lion's wailing and the sound of rock pillars breaking and stones rolling gradually coming from inside the cave.

About 2 minutes later, the aggrieved wailing of these black flame lions completely disappeared, and the sound of rolling stones also decreased.

After another 5 minutes or so, there was a blunt muffled sound in the cave, a bit like the sound of a rock pillar collapsing.

And within a few minutes after this strange sound suddenly sounded, the Lazarus Cave suddenly became extremely quiet.

And Nathali, from the beginning to the end, never made any sound.

Strange frowned.

He felt that his current standing posture must be as stupid as a middle-aged man who stood outside the delivery room waiting for his wife to give birth but found that there was no sound at all in the delivery room, and his mood suddenly became bad, especially at this time Lars actually He also glanced in his direction meaningfully, no matter how he looked at that look, he felt that he was mocking him.

It's very possible, the old guy might be thinking in his heart, as the Supreme Mage, Strange just let a girl go in and take risks alone, it's really unmannered.

Strange: "..."

Although he himself was too lazy to explain to Lars first, he was still very angry!

In fact, the reason why Strange agreed with Natherie to go in and take risks alone was because he knew better than anyone else that, as the knight commander of Vicoa, Natherie's sense of responsibility and mission was definitely not weaker than anyone else's. Earth superhero.

When she first arrived on Earth, she was able to start the idea of ​​opening a temporary clinic and paying for all medical equipment because of a bald head, because she felt that these bad conditions were caused by the virus that Vicoa lost. Knight Commander, you must shoulder this responsibility.

She came here and insisted on going in alone to deal with all the dangers because she felt that these shadow-like creatures were closely related to the Seraph Black Flame Lion of Planet Vicoa, and she was the only knight who tamed the genuine Black Flame Lion. , and it is only her responsibility, and has nothing to do with others.

After discovering these similarities, Strange suddenly realized that he should also respect Natherie's responsibility and mission a little bit.Even if he did this, Strange didn't care if he, as the supreme mage, was regarded by Lars as a coward who "fears the black flame lion and makes girls charge forward".

He just wanted to give the knight commander the respect and affirmation he deserved, instead of pushing the beautiful and delicate Nassari behind him like protecting the weak.

Although Strange thought so, but when the time actually reached a quarter of an hour, and Natherie in the cave still had no response, a certain supreme mage who respected his friend opened it faster than anyone else. The space door stepped directly into the space door like a rabbit hopping, and rushed into the Lazarus pool.

Lars followed closely behind.

In the cave, when two men who had been waiting outside the delivery room for a quarter of an hour rushed in, it was a mess.

All the Black Flame Lions disappeared without a trace, the water in the Lhasa Road Pool was calm, and there were many scattered stones on the entire rock wall and ground, and the huge rock pillars on the edge of the Lhasa Road Pool disappeared for no reason...

Robin was wrapped in bandages all over his body, with only half of his face exposed, leaning against the rock wall of the cave. He didn't know whether he had passed out or died. About three meters away from him, the alien knight with blond hair and purple eyes had a long expression on his face. Pale and kneeling on the ground, he stared at the second-generation Robin without blinking.

"Natherie!"

Strange walked over quickly, trying to pull the Knight Commander up from the ground to check her mental and physical condition.Lars followed closely behind, walking towards Robin without looking at Natherie.

"Mr. Strange..."

Nathalie, who was forcibly pulled up, had never looked as ugly as she does now. Her eyes were foggy, her lips were tightly pressed, and her whole body seemed to have no strength at all. Her eyes never left Robin.

After a while, when Lars squatted down to check Robin's physical condition, she turned her head with difficulty, looked at Strange, and said in a whisper:

"Sir, I seem to... have committed a crime."

Strange: "...What did you say? Did you kill someone? It's impossible. If you violated the magic contract, you would have been ejected from the earth long ago."

"No, I didn't kill anyone."

The usually calm alien knight commander blushed, shook his head desperately, then stammered for a long time, and finally replied:

"I, I courted Robin in Lazarus Pool, and said, I want, I want to mate with him."

"…………"

Strange: "????"

Lars: "??????"

……………I never thought you were this kind of knight commander? ? ?
