Chapter 4533
On the gloomy horizon, a low dragon chant suddenly came. The figure of a huge gray dragon appeared and disappeared between the clouds. The ring on Shiler's finger emitted a faint dark light. And under everyone's gaze, the giant dragon slammed into the ground.
The crowd screamed subconsciously and ran into nearby buildings to hide. However, that huge figure didn't stop on the surface, but went straight through. The gray mist pierced into the center of the earth like a needle. At that moment, the whole earth jumped on its orbit. Some ancient and mysterious existences finally woke up.
People were surprised to find dots of white light on their feet, just like a rain falling from the ground to the sky. And the power belonging to the Black Hand that had broken away from the blood tide and was preparing to withdraw from the universe was also entangled by the vines formed by the white light spots. Obviously, this moment of delay made him lose the best opportunity to leave.
In order to get rid of the entanglement of white light, the Black Hand used all his strength. All the power invested in this universe can be discarded, but he can never bring the power of life back into his consciousness, otherwise it is equivalent to suicide. Therefore, he had to start extracting the power of the living corpses around him.
Those living corpses that were brought over by Brainiac and had been caught by him fell one after another, including Nova. For some reason, the Black Hand didn't seem to be able to kill them completely again, and could only drain the power, letting them return to the corpse state.
Brainiac breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Shiler had another plan, otherwise clearing those powers of death would be really troublesome. However, what exactly is that thing hidden in the center of the earth? It actually entangled the Black Hand who was determined to leave?
And obviously it's not just that. Along with the white light emanating from the center of the earth becoming thicker, the surface began to tremble constantly. Many people were shaken down, but Brainiac felt nothing. He realized that this tremor only happened in the human soul, just like only they can see the total solar eclipse in the occult sense, while Brainiac cannot.
The good news is that buildings will not be destroyed, the bad news is that humans themselves fell to the ground. There were injuries everywhere. Brainiac could only hurriedly call an ambulance.
But this obviously also has benefits. Some kind of abundant life energy was injected into those empty bodies. The resurrected living corpses regained consciousness. They might have come back to life, just not quite adapted to their bodies.
Theoretically, the plan has succeeded, so all this should be over. But Shiler, who was leaning on the rooftop door, keenly noticed that the tremor that should have happened in the soul was emerging on the physical level—Shiler seemed to have thought of something, he opened the rooftop door, rushed downstairs quickly, and contacted Victor with Brainiac at the same time.
Fortunately, Victor was not far from here. He was also looking for Shiler. The two met next to Gordon's police car.
"God, what's going on?!" Victor shouted at him, "That spirit of existence shouldn't..."
"No!" Shiler replied, "Someone is doing something else! It is very likely the Justice League!"
"Damn it, I knew they hadn't shown up for so long, it must be..."
Before he finished speaking, there was another violent shake—this could not be a shake on the soul level, because the tsunami was visible to the naked eye on the coastline.
The tsunami subsided in an instant, but this also made Shiler and Victor more convinced of one thing—this must be done by the Justice League, because only Arthur has such water control ability.
Such scenes were staged on all coastlines of the world, and naturally were witnessed by Brainiac. He said to Shiler somewhat hurriedly: "I know what they are going to do, but I don't know what they are going to do. Do you think..."
"Do you think we are still in the solar system?"
"What?" Brainiac seemed surprised, "What did you say?!"
"Assume they have a crazy plan to hide it from all mankind. What would they do? It's not just the Black Hand who can use the sun."
"Yes, you can too," Victor looked at Shiler and said, "Didn't you also use the Great Old Ones..."
Speaking of this, he came back to his senses and said with some shock: "You used the Great Old Ones, and someone used you."
"That's right," Shiler said, "The total solar eclipse in the occult sense obscured the consciousness of all mankind. This means that no matter whether the sun is really shining or not, humans cannot see it. Without the sun as a reference, where we are now has no conclusion."
"But Brainiac can see..."
"He is the easiest to fool," Shiler said, "Electronic life has no real senses, everything is just the deduction of programs. Lex Luthor is in the machine room maintaining the system, and only a small modification to the program may lead to his cognitive confusion."
"God," Victor said, "But people on Krypton will always find that the earth is gone?!"
"Have you noticed that someone is missing."
"Who?"
"Mad Hatter. Hugo made such a big move on earth, but the Mad Hatter who should have returned with him disappeared silently. And he even possesses brainwashing abilities stronger and more direct than Hugo."
"They sent him to Krypton?!" Victor widened his eyes and said, "So they deceived everyone, making people there not notice that the earth was gone. But I still don't understand, how can they move the earth away?"
"How did Krypton come over?"
Victor was speechless. He thought for a moment, then said: "The planet propulsion system is a very precise thing..."
However, the previous librarian had warned me that after one o'clock at night, no matter what sound I heard, I shouldn't go out. He strictly followed this rule and lived until retirement. I was already considering studying abroad in Europe; there was no need to cause trouble at this time.
Victor grabbed his hair hard: "The key is how they installed this thing on the earth. How could Brainiac not find it?"
"There is another person who has disappeared for a long time."
"...... Barry Allen?"
"Exactly. Who is chasing him in the Speed Force? No one knows, because no one can enter the Speed Force. Naturally, it's whatever he says. The so-called infection of the power of death became the best excuse to cover up. Even if there are more parts, it's enough for him to move several times."
"Where did they install this thing?"
"Center of the earth," Shiler sighed and said, "Because this way when the spirit of existence wakes up, the power released can let them start the machine."
"Alright. I have to admit that using the Great Old One's cognitive obscuration to deceive everyone is a great idea. But the problem is, where are they going to send the earth?"
Shiler shook his head and said: "Someone must be in big trouble."
When he said this, the ground shook violently again. Victor quickly fired a shot, freezing him and Shiler on the ground, which allowed them not to fall. This earthquake was not strong and did not destroy buildings, but it still shook many people down.
No one knows what happened. The sky has always been dark. That white inverted rain is still falling, just like a moved beehive and a moved ant nest. Ordinary people have no way to judge what happened at all.
This weird plan sounds bizarre, but it actually uses a simple principle. Stars are landmarks in the universe, and the vast majority of civilizations need to rely on the position of stars to determine their position. And once the stars are obscured—to be precise, all celestial bodies that can replace the sun will not shine in human eyes—then humans have no way to determine where the earth is in the universe through their own senses.
If at this time, the earth quietly jumps, and can ensure that surface life is not affected, then humans have no way to judge whether they have changed their position.
The initial tremor is the horn of departure, and this time seems to be the closing song of this amazing magic. The surface of the earth stabilized, and the surging seawater fell back into the ocean. The tides changed quietly, obviously they threw away the sun, and the moon didn't know where it went.
Brainiac became silent, not knowing whether he had started a free fight with Lex Luthor. For ordinary people, it was just a minor earthquake. They soon adapted, and then went on with their business, without being affected.
Then Victor asked another question—how did they keep the earth warm?
The answer is actually very simple. It's like Victor used dense ice to build a shield, and other energies can also achieve similar effects. The energy they have the most is Green Lantern energy and dark power. Considering that dark power is polluting, it is mostly Green Lantern energy.
"Hal didn't stay idle either," Shiler got into the car and said, "His use of Green Lantern energy has reached a new height. Otherwise, it would be difficult to shape the earth shield silently."
"This is traceable," Victor said, "Just like you said, they can use Krypton's technology. When they designed the planetary propulsion device, they must have also studied related shield technology. This can be completely applied to the earth."
"Not just that. If it were just this, it wouldn't drag on for so long," Shiler frowned, thinking while saying, "I suspect they want to use this thing to break through some kind of restriction."
"Restriction?"
Before Shiler could answer, Brainiac restored communication, his tone already having a very obvious distortion. It is obvious that he did not gain the upper hand in the free fight with Lex Luthor, perhaps just barely getting rid of him.
"Do you know where we are?" Victor asked his most interested question.
"Good question," Brainiac said, "I don't know either."
"What's the use of you?" Victor couldn't help it, "The Justice League secretly installed the engine, you didn't know, pushed the earth away, you didn't know, pushed it to where, you didn't know. I think you are the real occult genius!"
"No, this just means our situation is unusual," Brainiac said, "This can't be normal space. I didn't find any familiar stars here, and the surrounding space is filled with unusual energy. I dare say that those lunatics brought us to a very dangerous place."
"The Black Hand shouldn't have let them work overtime," Shiler said, "This is the consequence."
"I don't think this is the end," Brainiac continued, "I even feel that some people should be in a more dangerous situation than us, but they don't know it yet."
The reaction of the spirit of existence began to become gradually weak. Obviously, he just woke up for a short time, and then will fall into slumber. As the white rain gradually stopped, the Black Hand finally could withdraw from this terrible universe, at least he thought so.
But just as he returned along the way, wanting to return to his old nest along the traces of death, he found that he couldn't move.
