Chapter 4600
Professor X let out a sharp explosion. Clearly, it was because Robert Reynolds didn't know when he came out of the controller, and had been out of touch for a long time, and might not know where he exploded.
You know, the Void in his body has the power of a million stars and is very unstable. If this explodes, wouldn't it blow up half the universe? Professor X hurriedly mobilized the mutants to find someone.
However, Schiller didn't go to Marvel to find someone, because he knew that if Anatoly went to take the power of a million stars, it was also used to make cannonballs. But having cannonballs is useless; he must have the cannon that fires the cannonballs. And that cannon is in Apollo's house.
So, he took Constantine directly to the Mount Olympus in the universe where he is to find Apollo, and saw that cannon in the solar domain again.
Constantine saw this thing for the first time and showed great curiosity about it. After walking around it a few times, he said: "What is this thing built to hit?"
"That's none of your business," Schiller said, "I estimate he will want to fire another shot, directly blowing those stuck on the Source Wall down."
"This won't work, right?" Constantine expressed surprise, "Not to mention whether that wall can withstand it, people can't withstand it either, right?"
"This is not very clear," Schiller thought about it and said, "If he thinks it's possible, then after precise calculation, maybe it can really shake people down while not causing damage."
"Isn't that pretty good?"
"Of course it's pretty good," Schiller said in his heart, "If it can be done, it can be considered a happy ending, but the problem is, there is a group of people in the high tower who are keen on watching the fun, and it won't count until Anatoly goes to find Lucifer."
How could the agent not know, this mission is called watching the fun, but it is actually creating fun. To put it bluntly, it is to give the doctor trouble, as long as all other roads are blocked, Anatoly can be forced to find Lucifer.
However, Schiller doing this is not purely watching the fun. The key is why Anatoly didn't tell Lucifer he was back. He must have his own intentions for doing so. Must figure out why he didn't let Lucifer know, and what would happen if Lucifer knew. Otherwise, there might be very serious consequences.
To put it bluntly, Lucifer, Anatoly, Schiller, and Bruce are all birds of a feather. Stubborn people will only meet stubborn people. But if one of them is understanding, they can't compete with each other for so many years. And it is precisely because they have been competing for so many years that they know best how stubborn the other party is. Don't pull him when he just starts to exert force, and nine cows won't be able to pull him back later.
"This plan is too dangerous," Schiller said, "If it goes wrong, it will be the annihilation of the multiverse Batman. Do you think the Justice League will agree?"
Constantine shook his head, he thought carefully and said: "It doesn't seem very reliable. Then are you going to take this thing away?"
"No, we can't go against him, because we can't beat him at all. Even if we move this thing away, he can grab it back at any time."
"Then what to do? Break it?"
"No, this thing was built by him, he can fix it at any time." Schiller shook his head and said, "We have to go the opposite way. Not only don't break it, but make it better."
"Make it better?"
Ten minutes later, Hephaestus looked at the cannon in front of his furnace, then looked at Schiller, and then looked at the cannon again.
"You mean, you want me to make this cannon more powerful? May I ask what you are going to hit with it?"
"Definitely not Zeus." Schiller said.
He paused and took out his revolver, then said: "I know you have this technology. You can make an ordinary Colt Python look like a tank main gun. You must be very good at strengthening weapons..."
"This is indeed my specialty," Hephaestus didn't deny it either, he said, "But this cannon is already strong enough. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as there is a suitable cannonball, Zeus can't take a shot."
"But I need it to be stronger." Schiller looked at him and said.
"You are not its owner." Hephaestus said.
"I am not, its owner is already dead, and I am the legal heir of his legacy. If you don't believe it, go ask Diana and Apollo..."
Hephaestus saw him say it so firmly, and was a bit hesitant. He said: "For Diana's sake, I can help you. But if you hit and break something..."
"I strengthened it just to prevent some people from using it. I promise you, it won't break anything."
Hephaestus finally agreed. But clearly not because of Schiller's guarantee. It was because this cannon was indeed very powerful, and could be said to be the best he had ever seen. No craftsman could refuse to study and strengthen it.
Actually, it was Hephaestus who was close to the water and got the moon first, because it was relatively close and easy to move, so he handed it to him. Otherwise, handing it to Stark or Reed would be the same. They would definitely do it with great interest.
Hephaestus's technology is actually not bad, and he is better at using magic to strengthen it, and this cannon itself has certain magic attributes. After his strengthening, anyway, from the surface, if the stars can return, they will have to suffer a lot later.
Putting the cannon back, Schiller didn't dare to stay there. The two returned to Gotham in the main universe together. Sure enough, not long after, the door was knocked. Anatoly's roar came from outside the door:
"Schiller! Why did you move my fusion cannon?!"
Schiller opened the door, Anatoly shouted at him: "I've said it many times, don't move my things! You messed up everything, how can I use it!"
Schiller dug his ears: "If you don't want me to touch something, you should put it in a safe place, instead of throwing it around. You don't put it away yourself, so you can't blame me for fiddling with it."
Anatoly was suddenly discouraged. Schiller looked at him calmly. He realized that Anatoly entered the solar domain without Apollo's permission. He should have sneaked in. Otherwise, he should have learned from Apollo that he had just strengthened the cannon.
But listening to his words, he thought he had broken the cannon long ago, and didn't realize he was deliberately making trouble for him. This proved that he didn't go to see Apollo at all, and didn't even go to see any god on Mount Olympus.
To say it's a Cold War with Lucifer, not wanting to bow his head to him, so it's not convenient to meet. Then what about Apollo?
Being able to let Apollo keep such weapons for him, their relationship couldn't be bad. The last time he entered the solar domain, Apollo's attitude was also quite good. They were likely friends and hadn't had any conflicts. Then why didn't Anatoly show up?
More and more suspicious. Schiller now even agrees with the trouble-making plan of other traits. He suspects the doctor is going to do something big again.
"What are you going to use that cannon for?" Schiller asked.
"I want to blow that pile of things on the Source Wall down." Anatoly still said truthfully, "After my calculation, as long as the Source Wall is shaken a little, it should be able to shake the things on it down..."
"You are really crazy," Schiller said, "That is the Source Wall. If it is broken, how many things will run in?"
"Let you learn more math, but you insist on reading comics." Anatoly snorted coldly, "Universe structure is a rigorous science. The results obtained from calculations cannot be wrong."
"Then I ask you, who did you learn your universe structure from?"
Anatoly stopped talking.
Schiller looked back at Constantine, then pushed Anatoly out the door, closed the door, and took the necklace out of his pocket.
Anatoly was stunned for a moment, then took the necklace and said with some shock: "Why is it broken?"
Schiller was also stunned, as if he understood something. He said: "Gift for you."
Then regardless of what expression Anatoly had, he walked into the room and closed the door. After a long time, no one knocked on the door, and when he opened the door again, Anatoly had already left.
Schiller looked back and asked Constantine: "Where did that necklace come from?"
"Are you sure you want to know?" Constantine was slightly hesitant, "I'm not sure if Satan will let me say it."
"At worst, he'll change your lungs again, what are you afraid of?"
"That's true." Constantine sat on the sofa, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, resting his hands on the armrests, "That day he came to me for a drink..."
"Wait, why would he come to you for a drink?"
"Probably because I'm the only Constantine who won't try to get him into bed when he's drunk." Constantine shrugged.
Schiller was speechless. This reason was indeed as expected. However, he still asked: "Then why would he look for Constantine for a drink?"
"It might be very unexpected to you, but Satan doesn't have many friends." Constantine shook his head, "It can even be said that he is a very withdrawn person, and even acquaintances are few."
"Why?"
"Even if you don't read religious classics, you should have heard that Lucifer represents arrogance. He won't have any communication with people he doesn't look up to. Coincidentally, Constantine can be considered someone he appreciates more."
Schiller didn't know how to evaluate Lucifer's aesthetics. However, he could probably understand it. Constantine played almost all angels and demons, including Satan. In a sense, he defeated Lucifer. Don't care how he won, he won anyway. It's normal for Lucifer to appreciate him.
But then again, because most Constantines are really a bit indescribable, Lucifer can only pick a slightly normal one, which is the Constantine of the movie universe.
"And then?" Schiller continued to ask.
"We both drank a lot that day." Constantine fell into memory, "I feel like I drank a whole bottle, and he was about the same. Then we both got drunk."
If it were other Constantines saying this, Schiller would definitely not listen. However, this Constantine is relatively normal, so it's still worth listening to.
"He used his own cup when drinking," Constantine said, "That cup was quite beautiful, it was a short-footed crystal cup about this high, with a circle of golden patterns on the mouth. I asked him where the cup came from, and he didn't tell me."
"Then..."
"He accidentally broke it, and suddenly became very manic, even spreading his wings, scaring all the half-angels and half-demons in the bar away. Suddenly he disappeared. I wanted to pick up the fragments of the cup, but the fragments of the cup also disappeared together. However, a small fragment fell into the gap of the bar, and I picked it up."
"For some reason, this fragment seems to be stained with Satan's anger. General angels will go around when they feel it. So I made it into a necklace to drive away annoying angels."
"What does the wine glass look like? Can you draw it?"
Constantine nodded. He changed out a piece of paper from nowhere, took a charcoal stick, and drew a few strokes, mainly outlining the golden patterns on the mouth of the cup.
Schiller took a look, and then covered his forehead.
"Very unique, right?" Constantine said, "It doesn't look like a product of Hell."
"Worse than that." Schiller sighed and said, "This looks like it was taken from the tea room of the Kremlin."
