Chapter 238 He grinned maliciously: The darkest night is irreversible!
Seaside city.
Hande Funeral Home.
William Hand, dressed in black, stood quietly behind a couple who were observing a moment of silence.
The sign next to him read:
Time for condolences:
3:30pm-5:30pm.
He glanced at the watch on his wrist.
"It's time, you two. We're closing."
He helped his parents, who were still sobbing softly, out of the morgue, and then turned back.
The empty room was completely deserted.
The sky outside the window had darkened, covered with heavy clouds. Tonight would likely be a moonless night, a...
The darkest night.
That night was as silent and profound as death.
William stood by the window, his back to the coffin, gazing at the deep midnight. He stared intently into the darkness, mesmerized.
"No, I can't do that." He shook his head sharply. "That's not something a good Christian would do."
As he spoke, he felt a certain power surging through his veins.
Snapped!
He slapped himself hard across the face, then groaned nervously.
"Oh my god, please, please stop!"
But his innate connection with darkness continued to drive him, seizing the last vestiges of his conscience. His eyes gradually turned red, and his reason was stripped away like wisps of smoke.
"Ah...ah...ah..."
He groaned and trembled.
Then I heard a voice in my ear.
"William Hand?"
!!!
The sound instantly brought William back to reality.
He turned his head sharply and saw a bald middle-aged man standing at the entrance of the morgue.
One of his eyes seemed to have been struck by lightning, flickering with a faint light that shone into the dimly lit room.
"Who are you?"
William leaned against the coffin: "I clearly locked the door... how did you get in?"
"Is this the one Athositas was looking for?"
He heard the bald middle-aged man talking to someone, but there was no one else around except the two of them.
"The divination magic shows it's him. We haven't made a mistake, Shivana."
However, William heard another voice. It was deep, hoarse, and sent chills down his spine, like a venomous worm whispering in his ear.
"But why would Athositas seek out this unremarkable person?"
Dr. Sivana looked William Hand up and down as if he were an animal:
"No matter how you look at it, he's just an ordinary person, nothing special about him."
"I don't know," the hoarse whisper replied. "I am a mite, not an omniscient god. Divination magic can only confirm that he is Atositas's target, but it cannot divine the detailed causes and consequences of why the other party would do such a thing."
Meditation Mite said, "But we don't need to know."
“That’s right,” Dr. Sivana said. “All we need to do is capture him, and we can make Atositas work for us.”
"As for why Athocitas wanted to capture him... that's none of our business."
"Who are you? Who is the person you're talking to? What do you want to do to me?" William Hand felt increasingly uneasy, a profound sense of fear creeping into his heart: "Get away from me!"
Even at this moment, he took one last, reluctant look at his favorite corpse, then turned and ran desperately toward the window.
"Huh, this guy can hear you, Meditation Mite," Dr. Sivana said. "Just an ordinary person? There's definitely something strange about him. No wonder Atositas wanted him."
"Yes, yes, but we don't need to worry about that," he said, then calmly snapped his fingers and uttered in a convoluted tone, "Hocus Pocus!" (Trick!)
With just a simple, low-level trick, William Hand fell to the ground with a thud, as if his entire body was bound by invisible ropes.
"This is not a spell you can cast," said the Mite hidden in Dr. Sivana's cochlea. "Let me do it."
Dr. Sivana walked up to William Hand, who was gagged, unable to speak, and struggling desperately.
As the incantation of the meditation mite rang, William Hand's eyelids drooped, and he silently drifted into a baby-like sleep.
Then the insect chanted, "Void portal... open quickly!"
It was as if a transparent door had opened in the air. Dr. Sivana beckoned with his finger, and William Hand flew up and fell in with a thud.
The room fell silent again.
"And then... it's just a matter of waiting for Athocitas to come knocking on our door."
Dr. Sivana suddenly disappeared.
More than 30 minutes later.
Whoosh!
Roaring, Athositas smashed through glass and brick walls, rushed into the morgue, overturned the coffins there, and flowers and the little girl's corpse spun in the air before crashing to the ground.
"Roar—William Hand—"
"Within your heart lies a gateway to pure darkness—"
Atositas roared for a while, then stopped his meaningless howling.
"William Hand?"
?
Where are they?
Where are they?!
Athositas went on a rampage, destroying everything around him and desperately searching for William Hand's whereabouts, but found only a wisp of air.
He clutched his head, feeling slightly dizzy.
Between his fingers, he saw fate whispering mockery, laughing madly:
The darkest night is irreversible!
It can only be safely passed through, not cut off prematurely!
however……
I do not believe!
Athositas gritted his teeth, making his already ferocious face even more terrifying.
……
……
……
"...I now know the secret of life..."
"To understand the gravity of my mission, one must first know about the greatest tragedy that has ever befallen this universe, a crime so horrifying and incomprehensible that it has become a legend..."
"...The massacre in sector 666..."
"...Athositus attempted to use that darkness for his own purposes, to fight against us..."
"The prophecy says that power will be discovered on Earth. I know you don't believe these prophecies, Sinestro, and neither do the Guardians. But I beg you, for the sake of our friendship, believe me. You must stop them from unleashing this darkness, or it will destroy the entire universe..."
After Abin Sue's image finished speaking and disappeared into the air, the three people present fell silent.
Chen Tao cursed inwardly.
Hey!
The Spectral War! The Darkest Night!
It's been sent. Darkseid hasn't been resolved, and a new crisis is already brewing. This is never going to end. Let it all be destroyed. I'm tired.
My retirement life is awful!
He was inwardly wailing, but outwardly he maintained a bat-like calm.

Aba aba aba aba aba aba...
But neither Sinestro nor Hal noticed, nor even he himself felt, what kind of flame was burning in his eyes.
"Abin Sue looks very worried..."
Hal Jordan said.
He uttered half a sentence and then didn't know what to say next. Whether it was the dark history of the 666 sector massacre or what Abin Su called "a night devoid of life," all of this was too much of a shock for the rookie Hal.
"Did you see another body while you were talking to Abin Su?"
"Senesto asked."
"What?"
"The other body, Jordan."
Hal Jordan's eyes widened as he realized what Sinestro was saying.
"All I saw in the spaceship was Abinsu, but his body was severely torn apart. I thought it was caused when the spaceship crashed. I didn't expect that someone had hurt him."
"Someone did indeed injure him; Atorcitus is still alive!"
Sinestro grabbed Hal's shoulder: "We have to find him!"
"I'll go with you," Chen Tao said.
"No……"
"Um?"
Chen Tao then pulled out the yellow crowbar.
Seneca remained silent.
"We don't have time to fight Batman again," Hal said. "There are priorities. Batman is the protector of this planet. We need to be flexible, Sinestro. I don't know if the Space Police have any kind of 'police-citizen relationship' or anything like that—"
"You can come with us," Sinestro said, "but you have to..."
"As if you could refuse."
"..."
Seneca remained silent.
So he stopped talking and took the lead, raising the green light ring:
"The ring, search for Atositas across the entire planet."
"Searching for: Athositas. Vital data uploaded, comparing... Location confirmed. Initiating navigation..."
The ring emitted a mechanical sound, and the three of them, flashing green light, flew towards their target location.
……
……
……
Who are you?
Athositas, holding the Cosmic Wand, aimed it at Dr. Sivana.
"Have you thought about the consequences of blocking my way?"
The cosmic wand is an oval-shaped, tube-like short stick. It was a wand Athositas made for himself to use in casting blood magic—
Although he was muscular and over two meters tall, he was still a mage who used blood magic.
Isn't it perfectly normal for a mage to use a staff?
"Relax, big guy, I'm not here to fight you."
Then Athositas heard a voice that was clearly not coming from the human being standing before him, which made him realize that there was no human standing in front of him.
"What do you want to tell me?"
"I know where William Hand is."
"What do you know?" Atositas launched a direct attack on Mite and Dr. Sivana, a stream of red energy shooting out from one end of the Cosmic Wand.
However, the hasty attack was dodged by the prepared opponent. Dr. Sivana's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and the energy flow that could destroy metal and jade only created a large hole in the place where he had just stood.
"I warn you again, I am not your enemy."
"Listen to me, Athositas..."
Atositas heard the other party say sincerely, "The land you are standing on now is Earth. Long ago, when mankind was born, magic flowed freely throughout the world. At that time, there were seven magical continents that were interconnected."
"A council of wizards from all over the world built a magical castle, led by the wizard Shazam. Relying on their power, they claimed to be committed to peace and prosperity. The Rock of Eternity became a holy site for all wizards and the central hub of the seven continents."
"But a human named Black Adam betrayed the Rock of Eternity, and the Wizard Council became fearful of those they considered more powerful than themselves."
They turned their attention to the gods, such as Solomon, Heracles, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and the unnamed seventh… and so the wizards devised a plan.”
The mites of meditation weave lies into facts with great care.
"So the wizards devised a plan. They stole the power of the gods and sealed the gates to other magical continents. They hid the Rock of Eternity away from the world so that they could keep all the magic for themselves."
"Get to the point, don't ramble on."
"Okay, I mean. Whatever you're chasing, Athositas."
The mite carefully considered its choice of words.
"The Wizarding Council discovered him a long time ago. They hid him in several other magical continents that they had sealed off. On Earth... at least on the Earth sealed by the Wizarding Council, you have no chance of finding William Hand."
Atocitas remained silent.
"Only by lifting the Wizard Council's seal on the magical continent and reconnecting the seven magical continents can you reach the other magical continents through the mysterious station at Eternal Rock, the central hub of the seven magical continents, and find William Hand there."
Athositas remained silent.
The mites remained silent.
After a brief standoff, Athocitas spoke up: "So I need...?"
"Form an alliance with us, Athositas. Green Lantern and the lackeys of the Wizarding Council on this planet have already joined forces. Billy Batson, the magic guardian who wields the power of the wizard Shazam, Batman, they have formed an alliance. You alone cannot shake them."
Meditation Mite said, "But those lackeys also have enemies like us, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"You help us break the Wizarding Council's seal on the seven magical continents, we'll help you find William Hand through the transit point, then you go about your business, and we'll enjoy our reclaimed magic... Deal?"
Athositus remained expressionless. His silent standoff with the Mist Mite hadn't been a mere dummy; he had quickly used blood magic to perform another divination.
He can no longer find William Hand on Earth.
But his previous divination was correct; as long as he came to Earth, he would be able to find William Hand.
"I'm joining."
So he said.
Fate... played a trick on Athositus at a crucial moment.
But just then, a voice came from not far away.
"Atocitas, you're under arrest!"
Part of it was deleted, but it's finally been released.
I went to find P again, but it was wrong!
This is San Gu Zi's new book.
