Chapter 4618: Aftermath (Part 3)

But facing Batman, he naturally couldn't say that. Although he felt Batman would understand his forging of artifacts, in order to be able to continuously obtain the protection of the Justice League, he naturally showed his own value.

And Batman told him that this clue was said by Schiller. And Schiller also participated in the artifact manufacturing, maybe he mixed in some private goods. So Dr. Hall hurriedly came to the Serpent of Phryne and began to study it.

On the surface, nothing could be studied. Dr. Hall let Batman use the scanner, but nothing was scanned. But looking at Batman's certainty, Dr. Hall thought for a while and said: "It's possible it's not the artifact itself, but what happened during this period."

"What happened during this period?"

"In the eyes of later generations, Tutankhamun was a pharaoh with very mystical colors. However, because his reign was too short, his contribution to ancient Egyptian civilization was limited. But I have indeed heard a legend from the Tutankhamun period."

"What legend?"

"This is a secret of the ancient Egyptian court; I'm not sure if it's true either. In short, it was in the desert during the Tutankhamun period; there was a mysterious city of glass. People there lived in palaces as brilliant as crystal. The queen of that city was called Nada. But one day, she fell in love with a traveler called 'Dream'. But the love between them was destined to be just a beautiful dream. After Nada followed Dream's footsteps to his kingdom, the city of glass was destroyed by a fireball falling from the sky, and since then it has disappeared."

Main Universe Batman immediately realized that this so-called "traveler of dreams" was very likely the Sandman. Queen Nada had once spent a night with him. But this was thousands of years ago; Queen Nada was probably long dead, how could she know the Sandman's whereabouts?

"Wait a minute," Main Universe Batman discovered the most critical point in this story—"The queen had been to the Dream Kingdom?"

"Yes, in the legend, she went through all kinds of hardships and came to the Dream Kingdom. Finally, in a palace, she saw the lover she had been thinking about day and night. But after they spent a night together, the city of glass was destroyed. The queen realized this might be caused by her union with Dream, so she returned to Egypt and jumped off a cliff to commit suicide."

"Palace..." Main Universe Batman repeated this word lightly, "The queen should have gone directly to the Sandman's home. This means she, like Lucifer and Constantine, knew the Sandman's specific address."

"Did she leave anything behind?" Main Universe Batman asked, "Like murals or text or something..."

Hall thought for a while and said: "There aren't many places with cliffs in Egypt; most are by the sea. Maybe she left something there before she died..."

"Hurghada," Wonder Woman slapped her forehead, "I'll make a call to Deathstroke. By the way, the price I offered him isn't low..."

Batman gave her an "I'm super rich" look, and Wonder Woman went to arrange the mission with peace of mind. After waiting for a while, Deathstroke gave a reply. He said: "There is indeed a cliff on the coast north of Hurghada; although it's not big, it can also kill people. I looked around and didn't find any remains of the corpse. But there is a reef area by the sea nearby, and I saw some strokes on it, not sure if they are text..."

Deathstroke took many photos. Hall picked up the photos and looked at them, nodded, and said: "It is indeed ancient Egyptian text, just that the shapes were broken apart. Let me see... oh, this is a love poem... 'We are in a graveyard filled with flowers... a dream with fairies and elves, bees dancing, filled with the scent of citrus and rosemary...'"

"What?" Main Universe Batman's reaction was very straightforward.

"I know this is very abstract. But it's not asking you to use these clues to find it." Hall took off an amulet from his neck and said, "When in love with Dream, Nada must have left something in the palace. She was an ancient Egyptian, and this is the ancient Egyptian holy object, the scarab amulet. If you follow the aura of the amulet, you should be able to find the Dream God's palace."

"Thank you," Main Universe Batman said sincerely, "You've been a huge help."

Then he turned to Wonder Woman and said: "Double Deathstroke's salary, let him protect Dr. Hall well. We'll be back soon."

Soon they returned to the Gao Ta. This time Batman went out in person, took Charles, and used the ancient Egyptian holy object to find the Dream God's palace. This wasn't easy, but it was much better than bumping around like a headless fly before.

When Batman returned, Schiller knew the method worked. In fact, this wasn't something he had arranged early on, but this entire love story was the plot in "The Sandman" comics.

Nada was the Sandman Morpheus's lover, and also the fuse for his bad relationship with Lucifer. After Nada died, she didn't go to Heaven but was imprisoned in Hell. When Morpheus returned to his family and talked to existences like Destiny and Death, he was mocked for "sending his lover to Hell." Morpheus was very angry, but also felt he had done wrong and shouldn't have let Nada go back to commit suicide. So he went to Hell and fought Lucifer, making Lucifer release Nada.

However, Lucifer obviously pitted Morpheus. It looked like he lost the fight, but in fact, he deliberately emptied Hell and handed the key to Hell to Morpheus, just to watch him be overwhelmed by those existences competing for Hell.

After Nada saw Morpheus, she slapped him. The two completely broke up, and Nada was unwilling to go back with him at all. Morpheus could only send her to reincarnate. The two broke up very thoroughly, and Nada never appeared again since then.

Schiller believed that Morpheus's unwillingness to be the Dream God later might also be related to this not-so-wonderful emotional experience. And it was also because of this that he and Lucifer couldn't coexist peacefully at all.

"The Sandman is awake," Batman's voice came vaguely, "But he asked us to do one thing for him. Otherwise, he won't help us clean up the Dream Kingdom."

"I really don't understand, isn't the Dream Kingdom his home?" Strange said somewhat irritably, "He just watches his home being messed up?"

"Obviously he is in a bad mood," Charles said.

"I think no matter who is woken up by such violent means, their mood won't be good," Superman said, "I said long ago, our side is different from your side. You insisted on going up and giving him a punch..."

"Just tell me if he's awake or not!" Strange said irritably, "The temper of the demons on your side is also too big. Didn't my punch not do anything to him?"

"What exactly does he want to do?" Wonder Woman asked, "Don't tell me he wants us to go into an Egyptian pharaoh's tomb to find something again?"

"You really guessed it," Batman said, "But it's not to go into the tomb, but to find a living person—his former lover, the resurrected Nada."

"Are there too many people coming back from the dead recently?" Adventure Batman couldn't help but say, "Who can send me a background story?"

Main Universe Batman looked up at Schiller. Greed snapped his fingers, and a ball of light flew out of the memory bank, and then flew into everyone's mental body. Soon they ate the melon of the Dream God.

"God," Adventure Batman said after reading, "He has the nerve to ask us to find someone? Are there any normal people in the world?"

"That fireball couldn't have been made by him, could it?" Wonder Woman was obviously more vigilant, "Deliberately destroying his lover's country, and then he could keep her by his side..."

"You really watch a lot," Superman looked at her in disbelief.

"I don't think so," Batman said, "When Nada expressed she wanted to go back, Morpheus still let her go. If Morpheus did it, he wouldn't have needed to let Nada go back at all."

"What is Lucifer doing again!" Wonder Woman couldn't help but say, "Why did he trap Nada in Hell? Is he crazy?"

"He shouldn't have done it on purpose," Schiller spoke, "Hell was a mess at that time."

"Then I ask you," Batman looked up at him, "Why was Hell a mess?"

"Don't worry about that," Schiller avoided this topic, "In short, are you going to find someone?"

"Find my ass!" Strange cursed, "These demons are also idle to death every day. Can we stop talking?!"

They had a discussion. Finally, they decided they still had to find Lucifer. After all, he could be considered the culprit of this matter. However, Lucifer was still blocking the hole there, obviously unable to find the Sandman.

The Batmen had a discussion. Finally, they found a perfect solution—get Lucifer down and hang Bruce up.

Both of them were Archangels. Although Bruce wasn't as strong as Lucifer, he was still an angel at any rate; blocking a hole was still fine. He was idle anyway; rather than letting him endanger the multiverse, it was better to let him pay the price for his actions.

Bruce wanted to run. But this time his behavior obviously offended the public, and the "get off work league" didn't stand on his side either. So he was unfortunately arrested and successfully hung on the Source Wall, blocking the loophole in the wall. As for when he would come down, it could only depend on when Batman found a way to completely block the hole.

Arrogance learned of this news in the Gao Ta. Somewhat unexpectedly, this time he finally didn't intend to save his broken student. It wasn't that he couldn't, but that he knew he was in the wrong.

To say that driving the Earth to the Apokolips realm before and provoking Darkseid and Nekron to attack each other could still be considered a normal protest. But taking everyone to crash into the Source Wall together was truly a bit outrageous.

Especially, Anatoly, Lucifer, and Batman were all there. This was equivalent to, if a student scores 58 points, you can save him. But at the graduation defense, the principal, the department head, and the big shots of the same major were all present; the premise of the mentor debating with scholars was that the person standing above had to be a human—a husky wouldn't do.

Lucifer, who was called over, didn't want to talk either. He and Morpheus just didn't get along. But unfortunately, Anatoly was beside him, and Nada happened to be one of the dark histories of his messing up Hell back then. Lucifer really didn't want to have old accounts settled, so he reluctantly went.

I don't know how the two of them talked. Anyway, Morpheus also reluctantly went out and cleaned up the Dream Kingdom. Although there was a lot of Nekron's power left here, it wasn't Morpheus's opponent. The Dream Kingdom soon returned to peace.

Just like that, the aftermath finally subsided. Although it seemed to be a multiverse-level disaster caused by Nekron, in fact, Deathstroke and Joseph, Lucifer and Anatoly, Morpheus and Nada—"It was just a large-scale 8 o'clock family ethics drama." The Agent said so. ===== CHAPTER 4619 =====
