Chapter 3066: Mercury Chronicles (End)

Seeing the figure of Trigon, Raven was completely stunned.

This magic circle was actually for summoning Trigon?

Trigon also spoke: "If you wanted to summon me, you could have just called me directly. Why set up a sacrificial magic circle? You made it quite formal..."

Raven was still in a daze, but Dick had already reacted. He hurriedly nudged Raven with his elbow. Raven came back to her senses, cleared her throat, and said: "Of course, because this is a formal transaction. Aren't you looking to expand your transaction targets? Isn't this one right here?"

Trigon seemed very satisfied. He said: "Fine, which one of you wants to trade with me? The sacrifice is prepared quite well. Tell me your conditions..."

Others looked at each other. How would they know who wanted to trade? They were completely fooled by Shiler.

But just at this moment, Dick's phone rang suddenly. After he picked it up, it was Tim's voice on the other end.

"Help me turn on the speakerphone, Dick."

Dick pressed the speakerphone button, and Tim's voice came again: "Respected Demon Lord, it is I who wants to trade with you. I believe you have already seen the sacrifice. That is my sincerity. Next, let's talk about the specific details..."

Trigon was clearly more than satisfied with this sacrifice.

After all, what was currently in Shiler's body was one of the three phases of Hecate, the Maiden, as well as Circe, who possessed the Witchmark.

Don't forget, Hecate was betrayed by the ancient gods who obtained her power, and from then on, she no longer trusted anyone, feeling that they were all coveting her power. Thus, she divided most of her power into 5 parts, creating the Witchmark.

Now, although she had recovered, she hadn't recovered her power at all. Although she had some special abilities, her real strength was less than one-tenth of her peak period. Otherwise, the dignified Goddess of Magic wouldn't have to hide and act sneakily.

Circe was the owner of the Witchmark, which meant she had one-fifth of Hecate's power, which made her like a cockroach that couldn't be killed, tossing and turning without being completely eliminated.

However, although she was strong, she was naturally suppressed by the source of power, Hecate. So as soon as the Maiden came, she was suppressed and beaten, being tortured and forced to ask for the whereabouts of Mother.

At this time, in this body of Shiler, the Maiden created countless illusions just to force the witch Circe to tell the whereabouts of Mother. And these environments, how should I put it, the ten tortures were all child's play compared to them.

Mother indeed disappeared in the mental world of this body. The three sides sensing each other wouldn't be wrong. So at this time, Circe was unable to defend herself. If Mother wasn't made to disappear by you, could it be the original owner of this body—an ordinary human male?

Hecate cared too much about sunk costs, feeling that they couldn't lose one of the three sides. So the Maiden kept tossing Circe here, not noticing the changes in the outside world at all, nor noticing the arrival of Trigon.

Trigon was an expert. Although he didn't need human sacrifices, the power of the Goddess of Magic was special after all. Being able to create so many ancient gods was not something that any Tom, Dick, or Harry's power could rival. His daughter's business this time was really good, not wasting the power he gave her.

Trigon drove everyone else out and bargained with Tim himself. When he opened the door again, there was no aura of any soul in the room. The two women in Shiler's shell had already disappeared.

Trigon could be said to be radiant. With a wave of his big hand, he gave Raven a lot of power again, accompanied by a verbal commendation, asking her to make persistent efforts and create new heights.

"The performance for this quarter was actually completed just like this?" Raven said somewhat incredulously.

"Demons actually divide quarters when receiving sacrifices?" Aisha was even more surprised than her.

"Originally, they didn't divide them. Dick and the others insisted on saying something about quarters. He heard it, and he wanted to divide them too."

"You completed this quarter, then what about the next quarter?"

"Oh, a quarter for demons is 3000 years. I can take a vacation for the remaining 2998 years!" Raven stretched her arms, cheered, and said.

"Our mission should be completed, right?" Aisha said somewhat uncertainly, and then she suddenly remembered: "Wait a minute, the Angel Halo hasn't been used yet."

"I understand," Jason said: "If the one in Shiler's body is one of the three phases, according to Raven's description, it might be the Maiden, then there is still one side that hasn't appeared."

"The Crone?"

"That's right. Mother's whereabouts are unknown, suspected to be trapped by the Justice League. The Maiden was taken away by Trigon. Only the Crone, who is in charge of witchcraft, is left."

"She won't find her way here too, will she?" Raven said somewhat worriedly: "The power of witchcraft is very strong. Even if I have gained a lot of power, I am not sure I can defeat her."

"You don't need to defeat her. You only need to stall her for a moment, and then we can use the Angel Halo to trap her."

"So this is a chain trap," Dick said: "First sacrifice the Maiden, then use the Maiden to lure the Crone over. This solves two of the three sides, and the remaining one is not worth worrying about."

"Prepare quickly," Raven said somewhat anxiously: "The power of witchcraft is too bizarre. Even if it's just stalling for a moment, accidents might happen. You go out first, I will make a cage with magic here..."

Raven was busy inside for a long time. When Jason and Dick went in, they found that the room hadn't changed much, only some faint dark patterns appeared on the walls.

Suddenly, Raven screamed, "She's here!"

Accompanied by a shrill laugh, a few people saw a huge, aged female face appear in the darkness. Raven let out a roar, and purple light instantly enveloped the entire world.

However, several runes quickly broke through the blockade of the purple light and shot toward Raven's main body. Dick flew over and tackled Raven down. Raven raised her hand, and the dark patterns on the wall lit up, causing the Crone's second attack to stall for a moment.

"Good opportunity!" Jason released the halo.

*Bang! *

The halo with the power of God smashed directly onto that big head. The Crone was instantly stunned. Raven used magic to manifest a ribbon, rolled up the halo that had been bounced off, and threw it out like a hoop.

The halo gradually grew larger in the air, but as it slipped over the old woman's head, it suddenly shrank, tightening around her skull like a restrictive spell.

But the Crone only had one head and no hands at all. After being trapped, besides letting out continuous screams, she couldn't do anything.

Just at this moment, an unspeakable dark emotion surged into everyone's hearts, and a hoarse voice sounded above Jason's head.

"Give her... to me..."

Jason tried hard to suppress the panic in his heart, slowly raised his head to look up, and saw the pale, smooth skin, and the only big mouth split open on a round head.

"What the fuck is this..."

Jason couldn't help but curse.

"I am not... anything... I am... the Upside-Down Man..."

As the name fell, everyone shivered in unison. That terrible dark emotion was still devouring their hearts.

Jason took a deep breath and said with feigned calmness: "Give what to you? What do you want?"

"Her..."

The upside-down Upside-Down Man turned his head around. Although there were no eyes, everyone could feel his attention focused on the Crone controlled by the Angel Halo.

"O-okay, how do I give her to you?"

"Take off... that... halo..."

Jason swallowed his saliva and said: "If I take off the halo, she will resist..."

"Take off..."

The bizarre dark aura grew thicker and thicker. Jason knew he couldn't drag it out any longer. He slowly moved to the Crone's side, reached out to touch the halo, and lifted it upward with force.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Piercing evil screams resounded through the room, and the rich power of witchcraft was almost about to kill everyone in an instant.

The screaming stopped abruptly.

There was no fierce fighting, no collision of power. The Upside-Down Man's pale body wrapped around that big head, his mouth opened like a black hole, and he swallowed the Crone in one bite.

After the dark aura dissipated, a few people sat on the ground, panting and feeling the cold sweat behind them fade away. This monster was the most bizarre thing they had ever encountered.

In the fake Mercury prison, Bruce sat in a chair. He leaned back, slowly raised his head, and saw the dark aura constantly gathering and circling on the ceiling.

After a long while, the pale head slowly sank, and the upside-down thin figure appeared in front of Bruce.

"You got her," Bruce said affirmatively. "I said I wouldn't break my promise. Your revenge has been avenged. So now, do you want to join us?"

The Upside-Down Man's scarlet tongue stretched out to lick his fangs. He had no eyes, but when he noticed something, the bizarre dark aura would always be like a tarsal maggot, making people want to scream and run away.

"I promise you..." he said.

Bruce laughed. That smile looked cold and evil on his handsome face. He said in a relaxed tone: "Then welcome to the Dark Council. When our plan begins, I will call you."

"I need... the universe..."

"I already said, you have to wait until the plan begins. Don't forget, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to pass through Hecate's barrier."

"She is very careful. Even for the sake of revenge on the gods, the cracks chiseled out at the beginning could only let a tiny bit of your power flow over. Without me helping you deceive the world, you would never touch the edge of the Light Universe in your life."

"I know..."

The dark power dissipated, and the ceiling returned to its original state. Bruce's sitting posture seemed to have never changed, only Hal, who was working in the main seat, looked up at him, but lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"How long do we have to wait here?" Diana couldn't help but speak. She said very anxiously: "There are so many students on Mercury. What if someone sneaks in again..."

"I don't want anyone to question the security capabilities of the Green Lantern Corps, ma'am," Hal turned to look at Diana and said: "Let's wait a while longer, okay?"

Although his tone was very gentle, the green light floating around him showed that he was already a little impatient. Diana finally chose to shut up. After all, the Green Lantern energy that made up the planet around them was ridiculously much, and Hal could exhaust them to death using this energy.

Suddenly, Hal frowned, his figure disappeared instantly. After a while, Shiler's figure reappeared in the conference room, holding a bottle of wine in his hand.

He nodded to everyone and said: "There is a clue about the research on Mother's ability. Now let us all enter the dream world, and an authoritative psychological expert will diagnose and treat everyone."

After speaking, he didn't wait for any reaction from others, directly smashed the bottle of wine on the ground, and accompanied by the rich aroma of wine, everyone sank into the dream world.

And when they woke up again, what they saw was the bald old man standing beside Shiler, revealing a kind smile at them. ===== CHAPTER 3067 =====
