"Uh, I might have dialed the wrong number." Red Robin says somewhat awkwardly, "I modified the summoning magic circle slightly, changing all those useless redundant runes to reinforcement, so... sorry, sorry to bother you, I'll hang up first."

"Wait." A trace of interest is mixed in the female voice's tone.

"This is the first time a human has been able to contact me. Let me see the pattern you drew... interesting."

The smile in Lilith's tone makes Red Robin feel his ears are very uncomfortable. He scratches his ears hard with his hand and says, "Can you stop blowing into my ear? I'm a bit itchy."

"It's not your ears that are itchy, but your heart."

Suddenly, a dark wind blows from the top of Red Robin's head. The room is pitch black, and he seems to be in a dark forest, facing a huge pine tree.

Red Robin instinctively looks up. He sees an incomparably thick pitch-black snake tail. When he looks up further, a beautiful woman with red hair and green eyes is staring at him from between the pine branches.

She is as pure as a young girl, but her eyes and voice have a temptation that makes people unable to refuse. The pitch-black snake tail moves, and in the blink of an eye, a demon with a human body and a snake tail appears in front of Red Robin.

"A delicious little lamb." Lilith laughs low, deliberately flicks the tip of her tail, and leans down. Her red hair falls on Red Robin's shoulder.

Red Robin looks at her intoxicated for a while, but soon, some kind of thought makes him break free from this temptation. He even stares fearlessly at Lilith's intoxicatingly tempting pupils and asks.

"Why did the magic circle I modified contact you?"

"Perhaps it is fate that lets us..."

"Is it the thirteen reinforcement runes I added? Or is there a problem with the limited range of the 'mother of so-and-so' rune? Or should the tatu affix not have been deleted?"

Lilith straightens up again. She laughs low and then says, "You are really interesting, little lamb. Do you know who I am?"

"You said your name is Lilith."

"That's right, but they usually call me the Mother of Storms and Disasters, the Mistress of Darkness, the Ancestor of Succubi and Death—Lilitu."

When Lilith says her true name, Red Robin seems to have thought of something. He widens his eyes and says, "You are that Lilith? Adam's first wife in the Garden of Eden, the ancestor of vampires?"

"That's right, I am Lilith."

"I really summoned something incredible." Red Robin sighs, but has no fear, then he looks into Lilith's eyes, spreads his hands, and says, "Since you're here... do you need a Pope?"

"Compared to this..." Lilith swings her snake tail behind Red Robin and puts her head to his ear, saying, "Do you know what else I am in charge of?"

"What?"

"Desire." Lilith laughs lightly. She blows a breath into Red Robin's ear and says, "How do you feel now?"

"I'm a bit cold."

"Not hot?"

"Of course not, your snake tail is cold as death." Red Robin turns his head and sees that Lilith's snake tail has wrapped around his calf.

He sighs and continues, "Can we talk about business now?"

The snake tail flicks, and Lilith "whooshes" back to her original position. Her snake tail taps the ground lightly. She frowns at Red Robin, looks him up and down again, and says, "Strange... what do you intend to talk to me about?"

"Do you need a Pope?"

Lilith is silent for a while. She looks at Red Robin's face and says, "I never deal with humans because they are dirty and fragile. Those human males who dream of me will tremble and be drowned by their desires."

Lilith uses some complex ancient grammar, but Red Robin can still hear that she is hinting at something. He remembers that in European folklore, Lilith and her daughters sneak into the dreams of males and make them have wet dreams.

"But you are different from them." Lilith swings her snake tail around Red Robin again and says, "An interesting human boy, do you need my power?"

"I need your knowledge more."

"What do you want to know?"

"About vampires." Red Robin thinks of the matter of them tracking Kazi, so he asks, "A human Grand Mage was taken away by vampires, which might cause a war between the magical world and the blood-kin. We want to know his whereabouts. Can you help me?"

Lilith brushes her fingertips over the back of her hand, sniffs lightly, and says, "I smell it... it's the good work of my nephew. They are in the basement of a hut at the Plymouth South Harbor pier. I'm afraid you have to go quickly. The scent of blood has gradually dissipated."

Lilith seems to want to say something else, but Red Robin immediately switches to a completely rational way of thinking. The hallucination disappears in an instant. He steps out of the magic circle and says to Constantine and Boston, who are still waiting.

"Basement of a hut at the Plymouth South Harbor pier. Kazi might be dying soon, we have to hurry!"

Gotham, in the lobby of the Wayne Hotel, Diana waves at Nightwing and says, "Here! I'm here! You're here to help Bruce get something, right?"

"Yes, Wonder Wom... I mean, Ms. Diana." Nightwing withdraws the title he chanted halfway. He is still not used to Diana's image without a uniform, so he didn't find her in the crowd immediately.

"Just call me Diana. Are you Bruce's friend?" Diana looks Nightwing up and down and says, "You look a bit like him. I mean in terms of uniform taste."

Nightwing scratches his head. He looks around and decides to take off his mask, saying, "Bruce might not have explained it to you, but I am Dick Grayson, a member of the Bat-family from another universe. Hello."

Diana widens her eyes in surprise. She reaches out to shake hands with Nightwing and then jokes, "I didn't expect you to be quite handsome when you grew up, Dick."

Nightwing turns his head away in embarrassment. Diana pats him on the shoulder and says, "Follow me, let's find a place where no one is around to open a portal. The things Bruce wants are still with my brother."

Nightwing says nothing, just nods and follows behind Diana. They come to the underground parking lot of the hotel. Diana's hands light up with a burst of light. When the light covers the bodies of the two, with a "whoosh," the two disappear.

After the white light in front of his eyes disappears, Nightwing discovers that he has come to a lush forest. Diana tidies her hair and says, "I can't take you directly to the jurisdiction of Olympus, so let's come to the Amazon first, and then let Hermes pick us up."

Nightwing looks around curiously. Diana looks at his expression and says with a smile, "What's wrong, very curious?"

"A bit. The Amazon forbids males from entering. I've only seen the scenery here in travel advertisements."

"Usually yes, but it's not that absolute." Diana leads Nightwing through the jungle. Nightwing sees a gorgeously decorated cave appear in front of him. After walking in, it is built into a hut. Diana explains to him, "This is my secret base. If I want to bring my male friends here, I will let them stay here. As long as they don't appear in front of others, it's no problem."

Suddenly a slightly energetic male voice echoes in the cave: "Diana, do you intend to go directly to Mount Etna to see your brother?"

"Yes, thanks, Hermes."

Another pillar of light falls from top to bottom. After a burst of dazzling light, Nightwing's first feeling is heat.

Diana walks forward along the volcanic rock and sees the sweat on Nightwing's forehead. She frowns and says, "Doesn't the uniform prepared for you by Bruce in that universe have a temperature regulation function?"

"I'm not that delicate." Nightwing frowns and says.

"It seems you don't deal with the God Clan much." Diana shakes her head, waves her hand, and a cool breeze surrounds Nightwing. Then she says, "This is not a question of whether you can endure it. The temperature at the crater is thousands of degrees. But it doesn't matter, this will do."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"It's okay, tell me about Bruce in your universe."

Diana takes Nightwing and walks up all the way. Nightwing hears Diana's address to Batman, frowns, and says.

"You have to call him Batman, otherwise he will be angry."

"Anyway, it's separated by a universe, he can't hear it... alright, Batman, tell me about Batman in your universe. Is he okay?"

"He... is not bad." Nightwing frowns again and says, "But recently he might not be doing well. He encountered some trouble and had to send us to this universe to take refuge."

Diana's expression also becomes serious. She turns and asks, "What trouble did he encounter? Could it be with his professor..."

"I heard it seems to be Darkseid, but I don't know much about it. That's the Justice League's business. Batman doesn't let us intervene."

Diana lets out a breath. She mutters in a low voice, "I hope this isn't some new title of that professor..."

Soon, she seems to have remembered something, repeats the name Nightwing said, and then says in a somewhat urgent tone, "He is up against a New God? Can he beat him?"

Nightwing looks at Diana somewhat surprisedly. He says, "Of course, he is Batman."

"What about Batman, you don't know..."

Diana speeds up her pace, turns to beckon to Nightwing, and says, "Walk quickly, maybe we can persuade Hephaestus to open the warehouse and get you something useful!"

Nightwing is very confused by her attitude. Diana doesn't explain much, but this is not her being mysterious, but her understanding of Batman is completely different from Nightwing's.

Diana first met Bruce at the Kent farm in Kansas. At that time, Bruce was injured and appeared very weak, and Clark said he had mental problems and was very likely an unclassified autistic patient. Diana couldn't help but have a little pity for him.

Later, she witnessed the power of Bruce and Schiller tormenting each other, so she was even more convinced that he was mentally abnormal.

Simply put, Diana thinks Bruce has no normal behavioral ability at all and needs someone to take care of and help him, but at the same time, she also admits that Bruce's brain is a treasure of the entire Earth, thinking his wisdom is a rare wealth.

And at this time, Nightwing said that Batman in their universe was going to face a strong enemy. Diana naturally felt that this was a mentally ill person working hard to overcome his symptoms and using his wisdom to make contributions to Earth's safety.

Although this is correct to some extent, when the Justice League of that universe met Batman, he appeared with an extremely powerful, calculating image, and performed the same way afterward. Over time, most people regarded him as a god, including Diana and Superman of that universe.

But when Diana in this universe met Bruce, he was an injured person, and also a mentally ill person. She didn't think Bruce could deal with such a strong enemy by himself at all, even participating in it had a great risk.

Thinking that Bruce in another universe took such a big risk for Earth's safety, the righteous Wonder Woman of course wanted to provide help.

Thus, the Amazon female warrior shook off Nightwing, rushed to the front of the temple in a hurry, kicked open the door, and roared at the inside.

"Hephaestus, give me the key to the warehouse, I want to get something! Quick!!"
