American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

You let me take that thing and you're not going to fight me!

Oops~

Dane touched his chin and fell into deep thought. This plot seemed to be from "Sandman".

In the prequel, the "Lord of Dreams", also known as Morpheus, exhausted all his power to launch the Thousand Cats Dream to restart the universe in order to save the universe from the brink of destruction.

As a result, he lost all his powers and was then summoned to Earth by magic cast by a crappy cult on Earth, and was imprisoned by them for seventy years.

However, this cult still had some peculiar methods. They used a magic circle to trap Morpheus and prohibited him from contacting dreams, causing him to be unable to consume dreams for a long time and unable to recover his strength.

Morpheus almost outlasted the second-generation patriarch before he found a chance to escape, but at this time he was extremely weak because he had not eaten or dreamed for a long time.

The three artifacts that carried his power were also stolen by the cult and scattered across the world.

The story of "Sandman" begins with Morpheus's search for his three artifacts.

This gave Dane a lot of information. First, Morpheus was currently very weak, and Dane should be able to control him now.

Secondly, his artifacts are now scattered around and have no owner. Most importantly, Dane knows their whereabouts!

Dane looked at Lucifer thoughtfully: "You actually knew that the Sandman was trapped in the human world a long time ago, right?"

Lucifer looked at him in surprise. He knew all this?

Could it be that Death told him?

He calmly lit a cigarette for himself and shrugged.

He said nothing, but that was an answer of sorts.

In fact, the other members of the Endless Family should also be aware that the Sleeping Demon is trapped in a human magic circle, but no one comes to rescue him.

Maybe he felt that it was unnecessary because humans could not hurt him in any way, and this matter would probably only embarrass him.

It can be seen that this guy is not very popular in the Endless Family.

He asked Lucifer: "Is the artifact you mentioned in Constantine's possession?"

Seeing that he knew so much, Lucifer couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get all this information?"

Death couldn't possibly show him the entire Book of Destiny!

So this is real? Dane thought in surprise.

My goodness, Considine is sitting on a treasure trove without even realizing it!

He probably didn't know the relationship between that artifact and the Sandman.

Even he may not know the identity of the Sandman.

After all, the Endless Family does not require faith like other gods, they exist forever.

But the Lucifer in front of him obviously had no good intentions. He deliberately didn't mention this matter before, and it was obvious that he wanted to see him and the Sandman fight.

Now the Sandman is basically powerless to resist Dane's power, and there is even a possibility that he will be killed by him.

The concept represented by the Endless Family will never truly die, but the body that carries this concept will.

After their body dies, a new body will be reborn, completely inheriting the memory and power of the previous generation.

In fact, it is just a reskin and rebirth, similar to Doctor Who, but there will be no amnesia.

But Dane remembered that after Morpheus died, he did not choose to be reborn in 410, but let others inherit his power.

Is Dane tempted by this power?

He was definitely tempted, but he didn't want to be bound by the rules.

Having inherited the power of "dreams", one must abide by the rules of "dreams" and fulfill one's responsibilities.

There is nothing wrong with performing your duties, but killing whoever you want to kill is not okay.

For example, what if you are unhappy with God one day and want to mess with him?

If he didn't have a "dream", he might still have a chance, but if he had a "dream", it would be impossible for him to do so for the rest of his life.

Besides, Morpheus is Death's younger brother after all, so he killed him and took away his power.

Later, when he arrived at the Land of No Light (the realm of "Death"), how could he meet "Death"? This relationship would not develop any further...

So he could only settle for the second best, not killing Morpheus, but finding a way to steal all his artifacts.

This made it impossible for him to recover his full strength and enhance his own strength at the same time.

Dane calculated with his fingers and estimated that the new Green Light Energy Source would be completed in a few days.

When the time comes, he will first strengthen himself to get unlimited energy, and then collect the dream artifact.

Then he would wait for Morpheus to come to negotiate with him, and he would tell him to get out of here, feeling happy.

So he had no choice but to take Lucifer's bait, but was he the kind of person who would suffer a loss?

"I think I understand what you're planning. I personally don't mind it, but those artifacts are just spoils of war, not your reward."

Lucifer raised an eyebrow: "What do you want?"

Dane sat up straight, a business smile on his face: "I want..."

"Your key to Hell!".

Chapter 121 Kneel down and kiss my toes

The air suddenly froze, and Lucifer was no longer as gentle as before.

The energy of winter snow spread throughout the bar, and Angeles could even feel his body temperature draining away.

She couldn't help but shiver. This situation was originally impossible to happen to the City Spirit.

Because if she wanted to, she should be immune to cold and heat.

But Lucifer redefined reality, making the senses of everyone in the hotel subject to his will.

However, he found that Dane's expression did not change at all. He thought about it and felt that Shazam's power should not be able to withstand him.

Was it death that gave him this ability?

He guessed correctly that the gift of life that Dane had acquired could not only control the souls of others, but also his own soul.

But generally no one would dare to do this, because if you are not careful, your hands may shake and you may turn yourself into a psychopath.

Seeing that such intimidation was ineffective, Lucifer could only disperse his magic power.

"You should know that to this day, there is only one key to Hell left."

"Those who possess it not only have the ability to freely enter and exit hell and reality, but are also destined to be the lord of hell."

Dane nodded calmly, "I know."

"Then you still dare to mention this to me? I may not be able to kill you, but there are many ways to make someone suffer. Do you want to try it?"

But Dane was not afraid. He was confident: "The reason I made this request is because I know you are tired of Hell, right, Lord Lucifer?"

This is not something he made up. In the comics, Lucifer was tired of the day-to-day intrigue and the unchanging desert scenes in hell, so he didn't want to be the lord of hell anymore a long time ago.

To put it bluntly, he led the team to rebel against God because he foresaw that he would take over hell in the future, and he was not satisfied with this future, so he fell out with God.

This process is replaced by a down-to-earth version:

I left my son an estate. This estate was very profitable and lucrative, but it was also dirty and tiring, and it didn't feel very decent.

The son didn't want to do it, and his father didn't allow him to do anything else, so the son started arguing with his father.

I said this is the inheritance I left for you, it’s for your own good.

The son said, "I don't want it, that's all I want," and then the father and son started fighting.

In the end, the old man was still the wisest. The son lost and could only inherit the property left to him by his father with a bruised face.

After working for a few years, my son still wasn't satisfied and wanted to skip work and go out to play. The world is so big, he wanted to explore.

So Lucifer came to the human world and opened a shabby bar here that was unable to make ends meet.

Even so, I still feel that life is enjoyable and much better than the Eight Hells.

I don't care even if my wings are broken.

Then he can just pack up and leave. The position of the Lord of Hell can’t remain vacant forever!

We need to find someone of sufficient status to replace him, even if it's just temporarily.

In the original book, the substitute he chose was Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams. As the third son of the Endless Family, he had enough ability and prestige to be the Lord of Hell.

But that would have to be after he recovered his strength, otherwise he wouldn't be able to suppress the tens of thousands of demons in hell.

This is also the reason why Lucifer wanted to get the Dream Sand before. With this thing, he can threaten Morpheus to force him to become the lord of hell.

Then he can relax and fish in peace.

But in Dane's opinion, most of Morpheus' power will be plundered by him in the future, so why bother?

Wouldn't it be better to just give him the key to hell?

Anyway, in the original book, Morpheus gave the key to hell to someone else in the end, so why bother?

After hearing Dane's explanation, Lucifer was suddenly speechless.

It’s true that he has this idea in his mind, but he hasn’t started planning yet!

There is a feeling that your plan has been calculated by others before it even starts.

But he still shook his head, and then nodded.

"If you want to be the Lord of Hell, I have no objection. It's not impossible for me to give you the key."

"But I hope you can at least get a dream artifact first, otherwise the demons will not obey you."

"This isn't the worst of it. The Hell dimension is closely connected to other dimensions. Once the Hell Key is handed over, many gods may come to you to ask for it..."

Oh? Is there such a good thing?

Unexpectedly, Dane was not surprised but happy when he heard this. He had been thinking about how to enhance the richness of Shazam's power.

But most of the gods have entered another dimension. The Eastern Heaven, Mount Olympus of the Greek gods, Asgard of the Aesir, the past lives of the Egyptian gods, etc. are all in that dimension.

Dane tried all the portals in the Rock of Eternity, and none of them led to that dimension.

There is only a small divine realm that imprisons three silly goddesses, and it is gradually declining due to the seal of the scepter.

But the hell dimension is connected to the god dimension, so can't he come into contact with many gods and wait for an opportunity to seize their divine power?

He felt that there was still room for improvement in Shazam's power.

Lucifer looked at him with a surprised expression and was a little confused about his train of thought.

Lucifer's power is completely natural, he has never experienced a weak stage.

Naturally, he couldn't imagine that someone like Dane, who was destined to achieve multiple successes in the future, would now have to rely on plundering other people's divine power to increase his strength.

Dane made up his mind and said to Lucifer, "I accept your terms. There's no need to sign the contract. This is a gentleman's agreement between us."

In fact, even if the agreement was signed, it would be easy for Lucifer to go back on his word. He might as well not do this useless work and still leave a good impression.

Lucifer nodded. As a stylish god, he would not go back on the promise he made with his own mouth.

After everything was discussed, Dane took Angeles out of Lux Bar.

As soon as he walked out of the bar, Angeles couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed.

Facing the ultimate boss like Lucifer, she always felt terrified even if she didn't face him directly.

She couldn't help but look around. Has this man always been so fearless?

He was able to chat and laugh with the Lord of Hell. It turned out that his decision to keep a good relationship with him was right.

"Tell me Gabriel's exact address."

Angeles came to his senses and quickly told Dane what he knew.

"I think you don't have to go this time. Be careful that woman Gabriel might hold a grudge against you."

Dane smiled and disappeared into thin air.

Angeles remained silent for a moment before turning and leaving.

When Dane reappeared, he arrived at the front door of a somewhat dilapidated church.
