Amanda was very surprised. Who could have imagined that a holy place renowned in the monotheistic world could be a nation of vampires?
She couldn't help but ask, "I remember this country's area is only 0.44 square kilometers, and its permanent population is only over people?"
The pale, young-looking vampire smiled softly, "Indeed, but those six hundred people are just a facade. The true elites of our race have been hiding in the underground world of that city. Beneath the city, there is a society far larger and more prosperous than the one above ground."
"That city is merely our headquarters, equivalent to your human capital and administrative center. Our reach extends further than you can imagine. Italy will act according to our will when necessary."
Amanda's expression turned serious. This was serious. If Italy really obeyed their call as they said, then the meaning of this group of vampires would be completely different.
Italy is a regional power. Now that Great Britain has been destroyed, its international status is also rising. If it accepts the allegiance of this vampire, does it mean that Italy will completely put the interests of the United States first?
"Of course no problem." The young vampire nodded immediately.
Originally, Italy was a fence-sitter, and the vampires were best at currying favor, relying on money and good social skills to pave the way. They even lived a comfortable life during the world war. The war not only did not affect the lives of this group of vampires, but instead made their tribe grow a lot stronger.
No one in power can resist the temptation of eternal life. This tribe of vampires will carefully select outstanding humans, and then make deals with them when they are dying, granting them the curse of eternal life.
This is of course a curse. Becoming a vampire can indeed make people live forever, but it also means that they can no longer taste the delicacies of the world. Except for blood, any human food will become like rotten soil in their mouths, and even wine must be mixed with blood before it can be swallowed.
In addition, vampires are insulated from sunlight. Once exposed to sunlight, their whole body will burn and their body will be as cold as a corpse. They can be restrained by artifacts.
Since the position of God is vacant in the current timeline, the church's holy objects and holy water are ineffective against vampires, but the divine power of other pantheons basically has a huge inhibitory effect on vampires.
The above-mentioned shortcomings may be important to normal humans, but in the eyes of dying people in power, they are far less tempting than eternal life.
Therefore, with the efforts of generations of vampires, the country of Italy has long been infiltrated by the power of vampires. If they were not afraid of the power of human messengers like Doctor Fate, they would have launched an operation to conquer the world long ago.
But now is the time of great strife, and if vampires want to get a share of the upcoming world, they cannot be afraid of taking risks. Although vampires are stronger than humans, their status in the magical world is not high.
While being hunted down by white magicians, they are also regarded as magical materials by black wizards. Their role positioning is not worthy of their achievements in the human world. The entire vampire community really wants to change this situation.
Now there is an opportunity before them. If vampires can have a vampire god of their own, they will have the opportunity to correct the defects hidden in their genes and become a truly perfect race...
This was the common long-cherished wish of all the tribesmen. Therefore, when the most powerful country in the world that had already captured God extended an olive branch, they seized it without hesitation, and their attitude was respectful and even a little flattering.
The young vampire said seductively, "Although we vampires have many flaws, once you become one of us, your lifespan will no longer be an obstacle to achieving your dreams."
Amanda's heart moved. She naturally understood what the other party meant, but she was in the prime of her life and had no need to extend her life.
Besides, she had heard Jason talk about the shortcomings of vampires, and that was a price she was really unwilling to bear.
So Amanda flatly refused: "No, I'm very proud of my human identity and don't want to change."
The young vampires didn't take it seriously. Every human who accepted their invitation said so at the beginning, but when their lives were about to come to an end, those who had rejected them would remember them again.
He didn't want an immediate response, but just wanted to take this opportunity to plant a seed in the other person's heart. He firmly believed that this seed would take root and sprout in the future.
"In that case, it's such a pity..."
With this, the Sky Eye Society, following Jason, once again brought a major force in the magical world under its control, and this time the gains were huge.
The vampire race can not only help them in magic, but they can also play a big role in the human world.
With Italy as a traitor, the United States' hand reaching out to the European continent will be tougher and more powerful.
And it was at this time that Jason finally found Doctor Fate who was living in seclusion in a sparsely populated coastal area in Northern Europe.
"I guess I should call you Kent now, right?"
The old man with white hair and beard smiled gently. "Long time no see, Jason. Haven't you found a way to get rid of Etrigan yet?"
Upon hearing this, Etrigan in Jason's body felt a vague urge to break out of his body, but Merlin's magic was very strong and he couldn't break free at all.
Jason smiled back at the old man, "It's the same for you, isn't it? Doctor Fate is much stronger than Etrigan, and you probably haven't gotten rid of him either, have you?"
Chapter 595: "Friends" from Another World
Kent brought Jason into his home. They were old acquaintances. When they first met on the battlefield, Doctor Fate almost mistook him for a demon in disguise and destroyed him.
Thanks to Kent for realizing that something was wrong and stopping Nabu in time, otherwise Jason could have ended his symbiotic life with the devil early.
"Kent, I believe you should know my intentions."
Jason looked much younger than Kent, but their ages were actually reversed.
Kent nodded when he heard this. "I foresaw our meeting today. You're here to persuade me to join the Sky Eye Society, right?"
"Yes, but I just came to say hello. The person you're really talking to is someone else."
"Amanda Waller." Kent shook his head. "I've heard a little bit about her style."
"It seems that your seclusion is not successful. You can still pay attention to these things." Jason smiled.
"I don't want to, but the Helmet of Destiny tells me things about me through precognitive dreams. In truth, I've been deceiving myself all along," Kent lamented. "Now that I've been trapped in fate, how can I escape its web? From the day I put on the helmet, nothing is decided by me..."
Jason didn't want to hear this because it made him think of himself.
He is the one who refuses to succumb to fate and always struggles hard.
"If fate really exists in this world, I hope to die gloriously as a knight."
Kent looked at his old friend gently. "No one has ever denied that, Jason. You have always been an excellent knight."
"You don't understand. I should have died with honor following King Arthur." Jason said expressionlessly, "Instead of being entangled with a demon for thousands of years. I've had enough of this life."
He didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, so he started to bring the topic back to the main topic.
"So, what are your thoughts on joining the Sky Eye?"
Kent thought for a moment before answering, "I agree in principle." Seeing Jason seemed a little surprised, he smiled and explained, "Neb and I have discussed this matter and have reached an agreement."
"That really surprises me. Is your relationship already so good?"
"We are different from you. Naboo has always done the right thing..."
"But you're not asking for anything, are you?"
Kent nodded. "My prophetic dream tells me that this time our enemy isn't one of those obvious forces, but one that's hidden deeper... an enemy that even with Nabu and I, it's difficult to defeat."
"Wonder Woman doesn't seem as scary as you said." Jason said curiously.
"She is what I call an obvious force. The Amazon has never been a major threat to world security. Although their ideas are a bit extreme, they do not want to destroy the world."
"Only the gods, those gods who have long since disappeared into ancient legends, are our greatest enemies."
But Kent still had reservations, because in his prophetic dream, there was an ultimate enemy behind the backs of the gods. However, even the power of the God of Destiny could not see through the fog shrouding that enemy.
But no matter what, the other party is also a god, this identity is certain, so treat all gods as enemies, and the other party will reveal his tracks sooner or later.
What Doctor Fate needs to do is to join the battle and find the enemy.
"For this, I found an ally, a woman from another world."
This was said to ease Jason's vigilance. In fact, the real situation was that the other party came to him on his own initiative. Nabu used his ability to test the other party's sincerity and was able to achieve a certain degree of trust.
This result was beyond Jason's expectations. He originally thought that the biggest achievement would be Kent's joining, but he didn't expect that he could get a "buy one get one free" deal.
"who is it?"
Kent closed his eyes and thought for a second before saying, "She should be back soon. Can you wait a moment?"
"I don't have anything important to do recently."
Then the two old men began to reminisce about the past. After living in seclusion here for many years, Kent's already few friends became even fewer, but he still cherished the opportunity to spend time with his friends.
Not long after, the "ally" Kent mentioned came to Kent's cabin.
Jason was surprised to find that the other party was actually a woman! And this woman was very special.
She has silver-gray skin and a curvy figure, with an Amazonian-like physique.
The woman had black hair and regular, even beautiful, features, but her eyes were blood red, as if lava was burning inside, which made Jason think of some evil creature.
This is also the reason why Kent needed to take precautions beforehand. This ally doesn't look like a good person.
"Jason, let me introduce you. This is Greer. She's an Amazon."
"Amazon?" Jason was surprised.
"I understand your confusion. My mother is indeed an Amazon, but my father is a god from another planet. I inherited my skin color and these eyes from him."
Greer is the demigod, half-Amazon who appeared on the battlefield where Dane fought Darkseid, and is also the daughter of Darkseid.
After the Battle of Apokolips, Grey'er began to wander in that universe. She had been planning to capture the Flash so that she could travel through time and space again.
But on Earth, there is the tough guy Dane and the Justice League whose combat power has been significantly enhanced, so Grey'er dared not get close.
Therefore, she can only lurk near the solar system and wait for an opportunity to act.
As mentioned earlier, when it comes to studying the Speed Force, Grey'er may be even more proficient than the Flash himself.
Magic can bypass normal physical rules and directly affect the speed force. In order to fulfill the plan in her mind, Greer has specially studied this kind of witchcraft.
When the Flash used the Speed Force to reverse time, Greer had already noticed the change in the space-time continuum.
She once captured the Flash and used the Speed Force to travel to other parallel universes many times, so she has a strong perception in this regard.
When Barry Allen in another world abused the speed force and caused the time bowl to shatter, Grey took advantage of this parallel time and space disaster to break through 540 in her current world and travel to the current universe.
The Star Skateboard is indeed a divine artifact made by Metron (the guy sitting on the Mobius chair), and it successfully leads Greer through the dangerous turbulence of time and space to the current world.
Shortly after arriving in this world, Greer encountered Doctor Fate. In the past, Greer might have started killing him long ago.
But after experiencing the battle of Apocalypse, she became much calmer and chose to integrate into this world in a more gentle way.
Her pride was shattered when she faced Darkseid.
With her understanding of Doctor Fate, Grey quickly gained his trust.
There was no absolute conflict of interest between her and Naboo. The power of destiny was not something that Greer could get his hands on. Greer, who had specialized in magic, knew this very well, so the friendliness she showed in front of Kent was more genuine.
Jason's powerful mental power could sense the huge positive energy contained in Grey's body, so he believed Kent's words.
This was a pleasant surprise. The power of the stars performed the same as white magic, but at a higher energy level. It was a divine power on the light side.
Greer hid her expertise in black magic and the Omega effect within the power of the stars, successfully misleading Jason and Kent.
"Grayle, let me introduce you. This is Jason, a knight from the fifth century, one of the heroes under King Arthur."
"Nice to meet you."
Chapter 596 The Guidance of Destiny
Jason left. He and Grey'er didn't have much friendship. After confirming the cooperation matters with Kent, he set off to return.
And Greer finally learned some basic information about this world from Jason.
"World War, the war between Amazon and Atlantis, and the war between Atlantis and humans, how interesting." Grayle thought to herself, this is another world where she has no idea about the direction of history.
Jason also brought information about the magical world with him, letting Greer know about the "God's Descent", which made her mind active.
As early as in her previous time travel, she began to plunder divine power. This is the tradition of the new gods of Apocalypse. Starting from Yuga Khan, the new gods on Apocalypse have used plundering the divine power of other gods to enhance their own strength as the main way.
The master of this plundering method is Yuga Khan, a ruthless man who is qualified to be on the Wall of Origin. It can be seen that the road of "plundering" is a smooth road for the new gods of Apocalypse.
Grey'er reflected on her failure. She believed that she had almost no ability to fight back against Darkseid because the power she plundered was mixed with too much low-level power. As descendants of the New God, only divine power was their best tonic.
If she had absorbed divine power in the first place, would Darkseid still be able to take away her energy so easily?
Kent noticed Greer's fluctuating mood. Although he was not necessarily older than Greer, he already had eyes that could see through the world. Even without the help of the Helmet of Destiny, he could see some things clearly.
"You seem to have some ideas?"
Gray was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it, she chose not to hide it.
"Yes, divine power, this is what I desire."
"There are probably very few people in this world who would remain indifferent to such power." Kent expressed his understanding and then asked, "Then why didn't you take action when you first saw me?"
"Because I know that power doesn't belong to you at all." And I may not be able to defeat you, Greer thought.
Doctor Fate is very powerful when he performs normally, and he is definitely not the useless Doctor in the movie who can only create a few clones.
Kent smiled and said no more. Although he is old now, he is still at his peak when he switches to Doctor Fate mode.
"Don't worry, I won't say anything more about your hunting..."
"Why?" Greer was a little curious. She knew that their relationship was not that good yet.
"Because this is what I hope for..." Kent's eyes were empty, and his sight seemed to penetrate the void and fall on an invisible shadow.
No one knew that Doctor Fate had foreseen the future before he went into seclusion, and he knew what was happening in the current world.
He knew about the Flashpoint event created by Barry Allen, the war between the Amazons and Atlantis, and he even knew that this war would eventually lead to the destruction of the world.
