Chapter 572 Asking for help
Khandak, a mine controlled by the International Gang.
It's called "The Mine", but it's actually a modern military fortress built around the entire mine. Amaterasu blew up the entire city of Kandak, but the International Gang was not wiped out because their base camp was here.
At this time, the International Gang's base camp was fully invaded. A group of black-clad ninjas armed with kunai and ninja swords easily climbed over the power grid wall and sneaked into the mine fortress at night. All kinds of escape techniques and ninja techniques were unleashed, setting off a bloody massacre.
Inside the mine, there were corpses everywhere.
"Find the man named 'Samir Acton'."
The middle-aged man Ito said as he walked:
"Remember, I want to live."
"Hiyi."
The black-clad ninja under his command suddenly agreed.
They spread out along various mine passages.
In the "Black Adam" movie, the leader of the International Gang is a descendant of the king of the ancient Kingdom of Kandak, which is inconsistent with the setting of the International Gang in the comics. This tyrant of a small country thousands of years ago forced the people of the country to mine eternal metals, used these eternal metals to create a crown, and signed a contract with the six demon gods in hell, using the crown as a medium to summon demonic power for his own use. This act of forced corvee eventually triggered a national slave riot, and the people united to resist the king's rule, leading to the birth of Black Adam.
The single mother archaeologist in the movie, Adriana, discovered this crown in an ancient tomb, and the International Gang mercenaries attacked them to snatch it. But all this was accomplished by the reincarnations of Amaterasu who knew the plot. Now the crown has been taken by Amaterasu, but they don't seem to be satisfied with it.
The modern weapons used by the International Gang mercenaries were mixed with trace amounts of eternal metal, so Black Adam was knocked unconscious with one shot. But strictly speaking, that's because Black Adam was careless and caught it with his bare hands, just like Superman can't dodge bullets - he can dodge, but it's not necessary. Once Black Adam gets serious, the International Gang mercenaries can't hit him at all.
But for the reincarnations of Amaterasu, it doesn't matter whether the warheads of modern weapons are doped with eternal metal or not - they won't pick bullets anyway. These ninjas are not good at frontal combat, but this kind of stealth assassination is their professional counterpart. The hidden weapons were silent and the ninjutsu was cunning and concealed, and they quickly slaughtered all the mercenaries in the entire mine.
Then, a man in a suit and ties with a hawk-nosed and deep-set eyes and a Middle Eastern appearance was dragged by several players to the middle-aged man Ito. This man is Samir Acton, the boss behind the International Gang. The player kicked him behind the knee, and the man knelt down on his knees with a "pop", crawling in front of the middle-aged man, looking miserable.
"Samir Acton."
The middle-aged man shook his head and said:
"We originally planned to deal with you last... Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes."
Amaterasu comes to Kandak, and snatching the Eternal Metal is only a secondary goal. Killing Black Adam and the four superheroes of the Justice Society is the main goal. This ending is the winning condition for the major event of the plot line. But now, although the main goal has been nearly achieved - Black Adam is missing and the four superheroes of the Justice Society are dead. However, Sugawara Mao was captured by the enemy. In order to rescue Sugawara Mao, the reincarnations of Amaterasu had to temporarily modify their plan.
"You...who are you?"
Samir Acton raised his face and asked hoarsely.
Suddenly he was dragged out of the room.
Samir Acton had no idea what was going on.
"You don't have to worry about it."
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said.
To look at him was like looking at a dead man.
"So much nonsense."
Each of the two ninjas punched him.
The man immediately became quiet and stopped talking.
The middle-aged man seemed to be waiting for something. He was pacing back and forth in the mine tunnel with his head lowered, his face showing visible irritability and uneasiness. A young subordinate next to him saw the middle-aged man walking around, thought for a moment and asked road:
"Ito-sama, I have a question."
The middle-aged man Ito stopped:
"you say."
"I still remember Master Zheno said before that the winning condition for our camp is to summon Sabak and kill Black Adam. Black Adam is now missing and his life and death are unknown. If we transfer Sabak's power again, I wonder if it will Will...will it lead to the final failure of the major plot line event?"
The subordinate asked, carefully choosing his words.
Ito took a deep breath and said:
"You want to say that since Sugawara Mao has been captured, we should simply give up on her and concentrate on advancing the plot. Following the plot in the movie, we summon the six demons to possess Samir Acton and make him become Shabak, try to win the ultimate victory in the big event of the plot line, right?”
"I……"
The subordinates were a little embarrassed after being told the truth.
But he gritted his teeth and finally admitted:
"Sir, you must also understand that a strong man cuts off his wrist. Since our current strength is not enough to rescue Lord Mao from that guy, why not stop the loss in time and give priority to ensuring the victory of the major event in the plot line?"
"Then let me tell you the truth."
Ito sighed and said:
"I don't know. I don't know if if we transfer Shabak's power to others, it will cause the major plot line event to fail. I only know that Sugawara Mao must not die. We must save her. "
Sugawara Mao must not die?
The young subordinate was stunned when he heard this:
"Mao-sama, doesn't he have reincarnation?"
The reason why he said "a strong man cuts off his wrist" was because Sugawara Mao, as a reincarnation person, can be resurrected after death. But Ito said "Sugawara Mao cannot die", so there is only one possibility. This reincarnation life is the last reincarnation life of Sugawara Mao.
However, Ito just shook his head and said:
"No, you don't understand."
"Mao Sugawara, she just can't die."
After speaking, Ito looked out the door and said nothing more.
Seeing that he didn't want to explain, his men shut up and stopped asking.
Finally, after waiting for a long time, a man and a woman wearing long robes, Shi Shiran, arrived at the fortress. The two men were dressed in distinctive styles. The man wore a brown hooded robe and held a staff, looking like a classic Western wizard. The woman is wearing a wide-sleeved robe with a folded collar and right hem. It looks very much like a Shinto shrine maiden robe with muscular undergarments, and is full of oriental charm.
The middle-aged man immediately greeted him:
"Hiiragi, you are here."
"Ito, long time no see."
The woman nodded at Ito.
"So, can you rewrite this devil's contract?"
Ito asked straight to the point.
"Ito, have you forgotten? I am a wizard. I am good at five elements of magic rather than demonology. But don't worry, I brought a friend of mine. He is a senior demon warlock from the fifth dimension and specializes in these studies. The contract signed with the devil, he may be able to achieve the results you want."
The woman named "Hiiragi" said.
"Hello, my name is Beren. I am a DND warlock and a demon warlock from WOW. I am not only proficient in the demonology of DND and WOW, but I also have a lot of experience in the demonology of the DC expanded universe."
The man in the robe introduced himself.
When I came up, I first showed my professionalism.
Then he talked about the price directly:
"Your request, Hiiragi Kyung, has been told to me. As I said before, I cannot guarantee that this ritual will be 100% successful, but no matter whether it is successful or not, you will have to pay me 10,000 assimilation points. Pay first and do the work later."
"Can."
The middle-aged man agreed without hesitation.
The two sides completed the points transaction very simply.
"So, are you sure?"
Ito couldn't help but ask.
"All I can say is, do your best."
The demon warlock shook his head.
"Then please do your best, please."
The middle-aged man said sincerely.
"Is this the person?"
The demon warlock asked, pointing to Samir Acton who was sitting on the floor. The latter looked confused the whole time.
"Yes."
The middle-aged man nodded.
Then he took out a plain crown.
This crown is in the shape of a "C", made of black metal, with a mottled and uneven surface. It has six raised peaks on the front and a line of small characters engraved on the inside. The shape is simple and has a sense of age, as if it had just been unearthed from an ancient tomb.
Samir Acton, who was pinned to the ground by two ninjas, his eyes widened when he saw the crown:
"Crown of Sabak!"
"So it's in your hands!"
Then he struggled violently:
"This is my crown! This is the treasure left by our family, bastard, let me go quickly, this is not your thing, give it to me, give it to me quickly!"
"It's so noisy, please be quiet!"
The two ninjas punched and kicked Samir Acton. They hit him very hard. After a few blows, the guy screamed and fell to the ground with a bruised nose and face.
The demon sorcerer ignored him at all and was busy making preparations before the ceremony began. Various bottles, jars, rune stone carvings, candles and spices were laid out.
This man and woman actually have a good background.
In fact, many Western fantasy IPs have Eastern elements, including DND, WOW and Cthulhu.
The woman named "Hiiragi Mirror" is a shaman, a classic oriental profession in the Dungeons and Dragons universe. The only difference between a witch and a mage is that the world in the eyes of a mage only has the four elements of water, fire, air, and earth, while the world in the eyes of a witch is composed of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Hiiragi Kagami was once a member of the Amaterasu Society. Later, the Amaterasu Society was destroyed and disbanded. This woman switched to the fifth dimension and became a member of the fifth dimension.
Sugawara Mao once said that in the process of the collapse of Amaterasu, the fifth dimension also played a lot of role, so there is actually quite a grudge between the two large societies. However, Hiiragi chose to join the fifth dimension after his own club was disbanded.
The fifth dimension is a gathering place for spellcasters. Almost all the famous and powerful magicians in the entire reincarnation world come from the fifth dimension. If someone could solve Amaterasu's current problems, the fifth dimension would be the first thing that comes to mind.
perhaps.
Surrender to the stronger.
It’s the national character of the Yamato clan.
Now, in order to save Sugawara Mao, Ito has completely lost his face and does not hesitate to seek help from Hiiragi Kyō, a former club member and "traitor of the club".
"Where is the new host?"
After finishing the arrangement, the demon warlock turned and asked.
"She is not here. She is captured. Her life or death is unknown."
Ito lowered his head and said in shame.
"That's a little troublesome."
The demon warlock thought for a while and said:
"Do you have any of her personal belongings or things that came off her body? Hair or nails would be fine."
"some."
Ito replied immediately.
He took out a mahogany box and opened it to find a strand of black hair tied with red thread.
The demon warlock took the lock of hair, his hands were like scales, one hand was holding the crown, and the other was pressing on Samir Acton's head, and he began to mutter something.
Everyone could not understand his words at all. These words were obscure and strange, and they also had a low and rumbling echo.
Then, a red dot lit up at the end of the demon warlock's index finger, as if it was ignited. He raised his hand and began to draw in the air, and soon outlined the shape of a five-pointed star. Everyone present suddenly smelled an inexplicable smell of sulfur, and then magic smoke billowed out in the air, and six vague figures of the devil emerged from the five-pointed star.
Satan.
Aym.
Belial.
Beelzebub.
Asmodeus.
Craeteis.
The first letters of the names of the six demon gods are connected together.
It's SABBAC.
Black Adam was originally the mortal enemy of the Shazam family in the comics, but the Black Adam of the DC expanded universe was whitewashed. Naturally, a new villain was needed to serve as the final BOSS. Therefore, Shabak, a third-tier villain under DC Comics, was used. , to serve as Black Adam's opponent.
"Who summoned us?"
One of the demon gods asked first.
Another demon looked at Samir Acton:
"Ah, he is a descendant of the Acton family. According to the contract stipulated a thousand years ago, he must die before he can obtain the power of Sabak. What does it mean to summon us now? Do you want to tear up the contract?"
"O great gods of hell."
The demon warlock first bowed and paid tribute:
"Thank you for responding to my request."
Then he patiently explained:
"Samir Acton, the only descendant of King Acton of the Kingdom of Khandak. As you can see, he is so weak and vulnerable. This waste is completely unqualified to inherit the power of hell. We provide you with There is a better candidate than Samir Acton, who is more suitable to inherit this power and carry out the will of hell."
The six demon gods looked at each other:
"Mortal, do you know that once a contract is established, it cannot be changed, and modifications must pay a corresponding price."
The demon warlock seemed to have expected this.
He smiled evilly and said:
"Of course, I want to use Samir Acton's soul as a sacrifice in exchange for modification of the contract content."
"Do you want to fight with nothing, mortal?"
Of course, this condition cannot satisfy the demon gods.
They are always hungry for more fresh souls.
"No such intention, great beings. Your humble servant just wants to remind you of the fact that Samir is the only descendant of King Acton. If Samir Acton dies, the contract will automatically be invalidated. You would rather Even if you lose the opportunity to enter the mortal world, you still refuse to change the contract?"
The Six Demon Gods of Hell fell silent upon hearing this.
The old demon warlock is confident.
The six demon gods looked at each other:
"We agree to this condition."
"You will never regret this decision."
The demon warlock said with a smile.
The strand of black hair in his hand suddenly burst into flames, and white smoke rose from the flames. There was a smell of sulfur in the white smoke. Then the demon warlock waved his staff, and Samir Acton, who was pinned to the ground, let out a heartbreaking scream. His soul was forcefully pulled out and sucked into the pentagram.
Done!
Ito almost jumped.

1. Why do I write so slowly and why do I have to revise it repeatedly? Because I also want to write as simple as possible, without too many names or characters. I also know how most readers read books... but there is no way. , the prerequisite for watching Infinite Streaming is that readers know the plot of the movie or comic mentioned in the novel by default. It is impossible for me to tell all the content of the movie and then write it again. That would be too watery, and I will not be satisfied every time I finish writing it.
