Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 149 The Giant Hand Reaching Down from the Sky

Facing the dark question, Lin You almost blurted out the answer. But just as he was about to speak, the divinity of Ophiuchus suddenly issued an inexplicable and obscure warning, just like what ordinary people call "a sudden impulse", making him subconsciously swallow the answer back.

"It is true that I defined your appearance and the meaning of your existence. But I cannot be the first to answer this question."

"Why?" The giant beast asked the second question; this question was only directed at Lin You, but everyone trapped in the center of darkness was listening attentively.

"Because no matter what my definition is, it must be mixed with my needs and my purpose. You should listen to more people's answers and find the one you agree with. The answers given by others and the ones you find yourself, even if they are the same, are of different natures."

The writer's incoherent answer actually moved the giant beast, and it turned around and began to question other people present.

Including the absolute protagonist Constantine, the heroine Zed, Constantine's assistant Chase, the friend-enemy Midnight Daddy, and the angel Manny who is the mastermind behind the scenes; as for the evil witch group that completed the summoning ceremony, they had already become cannon fodder and were killed by the protagonist group.

Even though Lucifer tried every means to disrupt the story, the story still developed to this point without the intervention of the writer. The final battle still took place between the most important characters.

Midnight Daddy was the first to answer the question: "You are darkness, evil, and the opposite of God."

This answer sounded very familiar to Lin You, because someone had given the same answer in the original comic. And it was normal to have the same answer, because this was the definition of a giant beast.

The response given by the giant beast is exactly the same as the original comic: "This is my destiny, but it is not the answer I want. I want to know why I should accept this destiny when I was born."

Angel Manny answered without losing any time: "Because the light will disappear, and it has already disappeared; and you are the natural replacement after the light disappears, the second master of the world."

This answer has never appeared in the original comics, but it is what Manny wants to achieve. This angel who betrayed heaven not only wants darkness to replace light, but also hopes to gain more glory and power in the darkness.

The four archangels disappeared long ago, and Manny has not received any instructions from the archangels for a long time; since the order of heaven no longer exists, why not seek greater benefits in the new order?
Unexpectedly, the giant beast just raised its head and glanced, its eyes instantly penetrating the endless void, and then said: "The light has not disappeared, it is just a little dim; and this world is originally built on light. Once the light disappears, the world will also perish. Your answer is useless."

Manny's face turned pale instantly.

At this time, Chase answered: "You are the curtain that blocks the light, the obstacle that prevents us from reaching the light."

This answer is very close to another answer in the original book. The wording is different, but the meaning is basically the same.

The result was naturally denied by the giant beast: "This answer taught me contempt. Contempt for everything that one does not understand and accept is a common bad habit of all intelligent creatures."

Constantine became furious. The Hell Detective, who had been exposed to a lot of black magic and was once possessed by the devil, couldn't help but expose his dark side completely when facing the pure darkness of the giant beast.

"I don't know the meaning of your existence, but I know that you are a disaster. Like the devil, you will only bring disaster to this world. You and that little devil over there are disgusting and despicable things..."

Just as the atmosphere on the scene became dangerous due to Constantine's outburst, no one noticed the unusual changes in Zed, the only woman present.

When she looked directly at the giant beast, she passively activated her clairvoyance ability at the first moment; Zed's clairvoyance was originally a low-grade prophetic ability, and he could also see through the deep parts of other people's memories through physical contact.

This time, Zed saw the intersection and fusion of extreme darkness and absolute light, but at the same time, her soul encountered the instinctive self-defense of the giant beast; so, she woke up with a scream. "Coexistence, darkness and light, are coexistence. Light and darkness are inseparable. Where there is light, there must be darkness. Only when you know the concept of darkness can you understand the meaning of light."

The giant beast was too powerful, and even if it was an instinctive self-defense, it also caused severe damage to Zed's soul; she struggled to give the answer before falling into a coma.

In fact, Zed not only fell into a coma, but died soon after; Lin You, holding the Lucifer Ring, watched the other's soul leave his body and go to hell in the next second.

The writer intervened to interrupt this process.

Since the Lord of Hell agreed to fulfill the bet, the souls belonging to Hell would naturally be available for the writer to retrieve; now that Zed was dying before his eyes, he could use him to test the power of the ring.

A holy white light flashed, and Zed's soul was forcibly sent back to her body; the interval was so short that even her companions did not notice that the woman's heart had stopped beating for a short while.

Everyone's attention - including the angels - was on the giant beast; after hearing Zed's answer, the giant beast fell into deep thought and did not speak for a long time, and even the darkness around it stopped expanding.

The anxious wait made time seem incomparably long; after an unknown amount of time, the giant beast finally spoke again: "Darkness and light must coexist; this is a rule that even God must follow. The foundation of the world is not only light, but also darkness. Together, we maintain the existence of the world."

Listening to the giant beast's words, it seemed that everything was getting better, and it would soon usher in an ending where everyone except the villain was happy; but the writer's heart kept sinking.

The darkness has awakened, and normally it should be time for the light to respond. But right now, the God of the DC world is still missing.

Then, the giant beast really said something that frightened the writer: "I am the darkness, but where is the light? Light and darkness must coexist, but where is the other pole that builds the world?"

The representative of extreme darkness once again looked up at the sky.

If God does not exist, the light will dim, and the two poles of light and darkness will inevitably be unbalanced; who can answer the giant beast's question?

This is not only a problem for the giant beast, but also a problem for this world. The will of the world is calling out through the giant beast, calling for the return of light.

Just as the writer was feeling anxious, the sky suddenly shone brightly; the golden light pierced through the haze, and an arm stretched out from the depths of the golden light and reached towards the giant beast.

The giant beast also stretched out its arm and held it tightly with the other party.

This is a sign of reconciliation between light and darkness, and a sign of the world regaining its balance. All those who worked hard to stop the giant beast from coming cheered, except for the angel Manny, who looked ashen.

But no one noticed that the writer also had a gloomy expression, looking at the two giant hands clasped in the sky without saying a word.

That's not the hand of DC God!
