Chapter 129: Another World A-Zu's Lies

Seeing this, the witch queen's face became more and more ugly.

She found that Peter's glowing body actually blocked the detection and influence of her magic!

The witch queen could clearly feel that her transformation spell had a momentary delay.

On the other side, Peter clenched his fists, and after realizing that the opponent's magic was affected by the energy of the gods, he felt relieved.

It seems that the power of the gods seems to have some restraining effect on magic.

Although it is impossible to completely ignore magic, it is equivalent to adding magic resistance to oneself, so that the witch queen's magic will not be unbridled.

Enduring the restraint of space on the body, he slowly raised his head and saw that the Sphinx, who had left in the distance, suddenly returned.

After forcibly breaking free from the witch queen's magic space control, he instantly moved to Zatanna's side and pushed her out violently.

Zatanna, who was in pain, did not expect Peter to push her out.

Before she could react when she fell to the ground, her body was caught by a mouth.

The origami Sphinx held Zatanna in its mouth, left the scene at lightning speed, and jumped out of the window.

Watching Peter who pushed her out and stayed at the scene to fight alone, Zatanna's eyes were full of disbelief.

"Crash!"

The glass shattered, and the Sphinx held Zatanna in its mouth and jumped into the air.

Heavy rain fell from the sky in an instant, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

The Sphinx flew forward for a while, and its speed gradually slowed down, and finally stopped and lay on the ground.

"Child, I believe you will choose the right door and find the truth in the end."

The Sphinx said to her in a gradually decreasing voice.

"What door? Wait"

Zatanna got off the Sphinx and looked at the melting Sphinx in shock.

"You are disintegrating, Sphinx!"

Watching the paper-formed Sphinx gradually melt, Zatanna reached out sadly and wanted to catch it.

"Child, you look strong, but you're not. Everything is like this. Sometimes, a paper sphinx can't beat raindrops."

The Sphinx's voice became smaller and smaller, "Sometimes, a witch can't beat a little girl."

As the last sentence was said, the body of the Sphinx was completely dissolved by the rain.

Zatanna knelt on the ground, stretched out her hand, caught a piece of paper that fell from the Sphinx's body, and tears flowed instantly.

"No, no, Uncle Padrick is still fighting, and Burkes has to wait for me to rescue him. I can't cry here."

Zatanna immediately stood up and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"The Sphinx said I will open the right door, I have to keep going."

Although she was soaked by the rain and felt uncomfortable all over her body, she still tried to stand up and continued to move forward.

After walking for an unknown period of time, Zatanna suddenly came to a black door.

Thinking of the realm of the dead that Burkes had said, sometimes there are answers.

Zatanna hesitated, not knowing whether she should take this risk.

But when she thought of Peter's danger for her, she gritted her teeth, pushed open the door and stepped in.

Mr. Padrick was not afraid of death, so she should not be afraid either!

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open, and Zu hesitated and stood at the door.

After getting the address of Zatanna's house from the Dead Rabbit Gang, he immediately rushed here.

After pushing the door open, what he saw was the incredible layout of the room in front of him.

Countless stairs extended in all directions, leading to different doors.

After hesitating for a while, Zu, who didn't know the situation, decided to go into a room at random to see the situation.

Pushing the door open, he entered the room.

The inside of the room was dark, without any light.

"Click!"

Then there was a dazzling light.

Zu was shocked to find that a mirror appeared in front of him.

A picture was playing in the mirror.

Reporters pressed the shutter to take pictures of a blond man.

The other party wore the same uniform as him, his hair was combed back into a big back, and the corners of his mouth had a smile similar to his own.

Zu looked at the other party in shock.

Although the other person was much older than him, A Zu immediately recognized that it was himself!

No, this might be another self in the dream.

In the mirror, it seemed that an interview was going on.

The reporter said to the blond man, "First of all, Homelander, congratulations on being named Time Magazine's Superhero of the Year. How does it feel to receive such an honor?"

"Don't get me wrong, your magazine is great and I'm certainly honored, but honors like this are not what motivates me to get up in the morning. Think about it, if I don't save people, who will? Without me, the world will burn, literally, with blood and fire everywhere."

The reporter nodded and continued to ask, "As such an influential person, what do you hope people get from this honor? What do you hope to inspire from the depths of people's hearts?"

The smiling Homelander replied, "I just hope to get a little respect. You know, there has been a lot of hatred and discrimination against superheroes recently, and... unfounded legal charges. I hope this will make people stop and think about the sacrifices we have made for them, and maybe they will be inspired to become heroes with their own meager efforts."

"What do you like to do for fun? How does America's greatest superhero decompress? Does he have a day off?"

Azu replied: "No, terrorists and bank robbers don't rest, why should I? I like to stop by Coney Island on the way home to eat those incredible hot dogs - pure American flavor, and I also like the rich milkshakes."

The reporter continued to ask: "Tell me about your family, Homelander."

Homelander took a deep breath and said: "I love my family. You know, I grew up on a farm with my father. He only has me as a son. I had a great childhood. Do you know what my first birthday present was?"

Homelander said with a smile on his face: "It was a superhero uniform, It was exactly the same as what I'm wearing now, and my dad took me to the amusement park and museum. At that time, there was a high school band performing at the amusement park at 6pm, and there was also a band called "Happy Man Barber Shop", which left a deep impression on me. "

"We also went to the museum, which was filled with the collection of Old Mike, a local librarian and amateur historian, including restaurant menus from the 1890s, lumberjacks' bollards, axes and hooks from the 1980s, and toys from the 1920s. It was very cool!"

"I love my dad!"

Listening to the other self in the mirror, or the self in another world talking, Azu was shocked.

Isn't this his own experience?

This guy is definitely lying!

Azu immediately judged that the other person was lying through his facial micro-expressions.

But the other person's happy expression was definitely not fake.

Why did he know his experience?

Just when Azu was messy, the motherland in the mirror was still talking.

"But I don't like celebrating my birthday."

The reporter asked him, "Why?"

"Because it means my father is one year older. He said: Only when you grow up, you will find that every birthday is like a turnstile. It takes you further and further, deeper and deeper. Suddenly one day, birthdays become irrelevant and completely inevitable."

At this point, the interviewed native looked out the window with a complicated expression.

A Zu was shocked when he heard this.

He quickly thought of the dreams he often had.

He often dreamed of being tortured in the laboratory, surrounded by coldness and loneliness.

Could it be that those were not dreams, but what the other self in the mirror had experienced?

Since I can dream of him, will he also dream of me and know my experience?

A Zu took a step back because of this absurd and incredible idea.

What kind of existence is this room?

Why did it let me see these?

At this time, the interview in the mirror has come to an end.

Homelander said to the reporter in a daze: "Sometimes, I often dream of a black door in my dreams. As long as I open this door, I can see my father. Sometimes I feel close to him, and sometimes I feel that he is far away from me by a world."

"Squeak!"

On the other side, Zatanna finally mustered up the courage to push open the black door.

The room was dark and nothing could be seen.

The silence seemed to isolate everything in the world from the outside.

Zatanna felt the boundless darkness and suddenly remembered the song her father sang to her.

"~There is a house on a certain street, and there is a door in the house. We will eventually enter this door, but don't enter too early. What is waiting for what in the darkness? Loneliness? Cold? Ruthless darkness? No, what is waiting for that is."

In order to encourage herself, Zatanna sang the song her father taught her.

When she sang the last sentence, a light suddenly lit up.

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice continued her singing, ".Love!"

Then Zatanna's mother appeared in front of her with a smile in a white dress.

"Mother?!"

Zatanna looked at the other person in disbelief.

This was the glamorous woman on the poster, gradually overlapping with the mother in her memory.

Zatanna, whose eyes were instantly filled with tears, rushed over directly.

Hugging her mother, Zatanna burst into tears.

There was only one sofa in the room. After crying for a while, Zatanna wiped her tears and asked her mother: "Mom, am I dead?"

"No, you are not. Only the head of the secret house can step into this black door alive, Zatanna."

Zatanna asked in confusion: "But Burkes said that my father is the head of the secret house."

The mother explained to her: "The house will choose its own head. It chose you when you were very young. In order to protect you, we let everyone think that your father is the head, including Burkes."
