Chapter 1717 Bruce Wayne and the Chamber of Secrets (End)
There were many participants in the semi-finals, but after two eliminations, only a few familiar faces of the students were left. Most of them were top students in their grades, and they had chosen the demon god from whom they borrowed power. The longer they worked with the demon god's power, the stronger their control over the power was. It can be said that none of them was easy to deal with.
But after all, there were not many people in this group. When drawing lots to select opponents, it was inevitable that familiar people would be matched together. Barry became the unlucky guy in the eyes of everyone because his opponent was Helen Stark.
Most students understood this campus attack as a power struggle within the Asgard royal family. Most students born and raised in Asia could better understand the dangers of the struggle within the royal family, and they were afraid to avoid it. Few people were willing to get involved.
This was indeed an extremely embarrassing situation. Everyone knew that Helen was of extraordinary origin, and her father taught in the school. If she won, it would be embarrassing, and if she lost, it would offend people. It could be said that it was not pleasing to both sides, so Barry's opponent must be decided, and everyone was relieved.
Doctor Strange in Barry's mind was somewhat dissatisfied. He snorted coldly and said in a mocking tone: "Why is it this little girl? She looks very weak. Don't you want to fight a stronger opponent to show your learning results?"
"I just want to end this quickly and go home to sleep." Barry's voice was full of fatigue. It was completely forced to ask him to fight. His words and actions clearly showed this attitude.
However, Doctor Strange did not give up. He believed that no one could maintain such a weak character after mastering powerful power. Soon, he would be able to obtain more and more powerful power in another grand world and countless universes.
One of the first two students in the battle did not perform well, so it ended hastily. The professors sitting in the stands seemed a little dissatisfied, and the demon in the air was also uninterested and felt that he was spoiled.
When Barry and Helen entered the arena, no one paid attention. Barry was not the kind of person who was competitive. When he was training in the martial arts arena, he would quietly hit the wooden stakes by himself and never challenged anyone. He had no reputation among the students. Helen was the source of the turmoil. What would be the result of a poor guy facing a second-generation god?
The two parties entered the arena, stood still, and saluted each other. Helen still used the power of lightning as the starting posture. Barry's index finger and middle finger clamped the magic wand, and the power projected by Doctor Strange in his soul surged to his arm.
With a "swish", a light curtain unfolded, and the electric arc came in an instant, but was blocked by the shield. Doctor Strange sneered contemptuously and said: "Asgardians? There is no need to bother with a group of poor people who are doomed to die, but you have to show her some power. Listen to me, space cutting!"
"No, no, that might hurt her." Barry said righteously: "She is just a little girl, we can't use offensive magic."
"But you are fighting now!"
"So what? I said I don't like fighting with people. I will defend against her moves as much as possible. If I can't defend, forget it. Anyway, I just want to take care of Bruce and Harley."
Doctor Strange took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and silently repeated in his heart ten thousand times "He is useful to me, he is still useful to me, this fool is useful", and then snorted and stopped talking.
It is not accurate to say that Barry hit the wooden stake in the martial arts arena. It should be said that he let the wooden stake hit him. He fully practiced the moves of defense and evasion. Just as Charles and Doctor Strange both believed, Barry has a strange talent in some aspects.
This is Marvel, so of course there is no speed force, but when Barry concentrates, he will feel that time slows down, a bit like the so-called bullet time, or the extreme reaction force makes him feel the flow of time differently from others, which makes his speed look very fast to ordinary people.
So far, this change is still very weak, far from the effect of infinite time in the speed force, but if he returns to the DC world and continues to practice, Barry is likely to touch the threshold of the speed force early.
Or it is inevitable. After all, the Barry who came back from the future was very young and looked like a college student, but he was very proficient in the use of the speed force, which means that he may have become the Flash at the age of fifteen or sixteen or earlier.
Barry kept calm and focused, staring at Helen's movements, and the moment he raised his hand, he quickly sidestepped to avoid the jumping arc, rushed forward, raised his wand, and a red arc of light with strange power flew towards Helen.
Loki narrowed his eyes suddenly. He was not worried about Helen, but mainly because the power used by Barry made Loki feel familiar.
Strange? ... No, that's not right. Strange is the Supreme Sorcerer, but he is still a human being. His way of existence means that he cannot lend power to humans like a demon.
If a wizard can directly pass on power to an apprentice, there is no need to create a wand. The human life form means that they cannot pass on energy in this way, so they need to use magic wands and other magic tools.
Suddenly, Loki thought of a strange thing that Loki had told about a parallel universe when he came to Asgard before - it was the death case of the Supreme Sorcerer in the entire universe that was passed down by word of mouth among the Lokis.
Helen was surprised that Barry could dodge her attack. She sighed and fell from the ground. Doctor Strange said proudly in Barry's mind: "See, I said this little girl has no tricks. Asgardians are getting stronger as they get older. He is so young, how many tricks can he have?"
The next second, there was a "whoosh" sound, and a black shadow rushed in front of him at a speed that Barry could not avoid.
Then, Helen's sandbag-sized fist appeared in the common vision of Barry and Doctor Strange.
"Bang!"
An uppercut, Barry was directly picked up and flew away, followed by an aerial whirlwind kick, an uppercut, and then a downward elbow. When the smoke and dust dissipated, Barry was just lying outside the field line.
Helen shook her fist and said, "This thing is still useful."
Loki in the stands shook his head and sat back in his seat. No matter how strange the demon Barry contracted was, after passing Helen's power, he still had to pass Helen's fist. Based on his long-term observation, Loki believed that the latter level was more than ten times more difficult than the previous level.
Helen knocked Barry down, but did not leave. She walked to Barry and half-knelt down, looking intently into the depths of Barry's eyes.
In an instant, the amazing dark talent and inspiration that Helen got from Harley made her see the thing that provided him with power in the depths of Barry's soul - a dark god book.
"Got you!"
Helen said this, but without any action, she stood up and left Barry. She squeezed into the crowd, jumped onto the viewing platform in a not-too-exaggerated manner, and whispered a few words in Loki's ear.
Loki raised his eyebrows and his expression became cold. He looked at Barry and said, "Are you sure? Do you smell the same crazy smell on him as those attackers?"
"Thanks to the keen sense of smell I got from a crazy girl recently." Helen also looked at Barry in front of her and said, "To be on the safe side, we should let the genuine one go over and smell it. Believe me, no one in this universe knows madness better than Harley."
Helen's expectation was soon realized, but the professors did not do anything to break the rules. It was just that the opponent Harley drew could not beat her, or the fighting spirit was not strong, because they had witnessed the crazy girl's fighting method of going up and slashing. Most people don't want to risk their intestines flowing out on the spot. When fighting, they are timid and focus on defense, so it is naturally difficult to win.
So, Harley met Barry in the finals. As soon as they entered the field, Harley shrugged her nose hard like a hound, raised her lips, and revealed two sharp canine teeth.
"It's you!" Harley stared at Barry's eyes, but she was not talking to her companions. Instead, she saw Doctor Strange in Harley's mind through those eyes.
"I smell that stink!" Harley raised her voice and said, "You controlled the students to attack others in the corridor, and used madness to cover up their crimes... You damn heretic!"
"She saw me, but she was powerless." Doctor Strange laughed in Barry's mind. He said, "I just threw a few baits at random, trying to fish out the Supreme Sorcerer of this universe, but I didn't expect that even if this ridiculous school was in chaos, he still didn't show up. It's enough to endure.
Strange, who was looking at the screen, stood up with a "swoosh". He couldn't hear what Doctor Strange said, but he could clearly see Harley's attitude. They stared at the screen together and said, "The mastermind behind the scenes is not Nyarlathotep, but the demon that Barry is contracting now? ! Who is so bold? "
The murderous intent in the last sentence has completely burst out, causing the temperature in the room to drop by several degrees. At this time, Constantine finally realized that the title of Supreme Sorcerer is by no means a false reputation. Even if Strange cannot use magic now, the aura on him makes everyone understand that he once stepped on the heads of countless powerful creatures to rule the universe.
"Who is that?" Strange's words rang in the room and in Schiller's heart at the same time.
Schiller was also guessing the other party's identity. There were not many who met the requirements, and it was more likely to be an outsider. Several names were circling in his mind, and perhaps one would jump out clearly in a few minutes.
"That book..."
Outside the field, a vague thought suddenly rang in Bruce's mind, which was particularly obvious in the dark knowledge that had recently filled his mind. He understood that this was a revelation given to him by Nyarlathotep.
"You came here for a book? "
"Our knowledge...should not be lost...destroy it..."
Harry rushed towards Barry with a knife in hand, her anger and madness completely released, and Barry was powerless to resist or dodge.
Just when Barry was stunned, red dyed his pupils, and another cold expression appeared on his face, with contempt and ridicule clearly visible.
The professors on the podium stood up in unison, and the Holy Sword Master shouted: "Forced control of the body is not allowed! Monster! Back off!"
The shadows of the demons in the air broke out into a fierce discussion. All the demons were discussing which idiot had violated the taboo. Many demons drooled because they knew that the membership gift would probably come soon.
Barry raised his hand, and powerful energy condensed in his hand. The shadow of a book gradually appeared. Strange and Schiller behind the screen shouted at the same time: "Dark God Book!"
And Schiller added another name in his mind - Crazy Doctor Strange, and his other name known to the public is "Black Strange".
The moment the book appeared, little Bruce showed a cold smile and said: "Want to drive me? Then pay the price first, the book is mine!"
A dagger engraved with runes cut little Bruce's wrist, blood gushed out, and a chanting voice that could not be understood by humans and made all the students present dizzy continued to sound from his mouth.
Wanda, who was far away in New York, suddenly felt a chill on her back. She heard a terrible ballad she had heard in a certain universe, and the crimson power bloomed like a poppy.
Harley, who was on the playground of Kamar-Taj School of Magic, felt a vibration of the power of chaos. Her power was being drained, and she could not allow this to happen.
"Give it back to me!"
"...Who are you?"
The next second, one of Harley's eyes, which were filled with ice-blue light, lit up crimson, and Wanda's shout rang in her mind: "What's going on? I feel the arrival of the stars!"
The ancient chanting became louder and louder. With Wanda's inspiration, Harley understood what little Bruce was chanting.
"The ruler of time and space and the one who unites all things, the gathering of inspiration of wizards, artists and thinkers, the keeper of the ultimate door, the key to the door, the past is in you, the present is in you, and the future is also in you.
With the door you know, let us travel through the past and present and the myriad worlds, and let us return to where we belong.
The knowledge I have gained is my power, the truth I understand gives me strength, my wisdom will knock on the door, let the door open to me--"
Instantly, the stars descended over Kamar-Taj.
One bubble-like vortex after another appeared and broke. It was the door in countless space-time continua. An ancient existence in the depths of the stars cast a glimpse at the amazing wisdom from another universe.
Finally, He recognized it, and a door opened for it.
The endless suction from the door attracted the few people pointed out by the little Bruce ritual into the air.
Just when they were about to be absorbed by the door, a heavy sigh came, and the unparalleled great existence in a certain world drove everything out.
When OAA's gaze fell on the gray vortex on the paper held by Harley, the condemnation conveyed was self-evident, but the gray mist that saw through his intention immediately condensed into a few large words.
"Don't throw them here! Go over there!"
The gray arrow pointed hard at one of the cosmic bubbles in another world.
The biggest difference between that cosmic bubble and other universes is that it is surrounded by a row of shining large words - "Schiller and other Schillers are not allowed to enter."
OAA: Are you annoying? Are you annoying? No! Annoying!
