351. I’m Laying Down the Law.

351. I’m Laying Down the Law.

The voice belonged, naturally, to Alex, who was facing Darkseid in another universe.

"Stop rushing me. I just crossed timelines to get back here! You should know that the energy of that Time Stone fragment is limited, and it's already a miracle it got all of us back." Constantine silently lit a cigarette.

'Is that the sound of a lighter?'

Through Miss Minutes's control over the Timepad, Alex could briefly communicate across universes, though it wasn't easy. This small act was dangerous, as Darkseid might notice at any moment. But luckily, Alex was well-hidden, and the Timepad's tech was on a multiversal scale. Even Darkseid hadn't detected anything.

"Puff—ah!"

Constantine nodded slowly.

"Yeah, you heard right."

Alex: ???

'Constantine, listen to me—I—!'

Before he could finish, Alex's voice was abruptly cut off, followed by a painful cry and the deafening sound of an explosion.

"...I'm listening."

Constantine grinned.

Although it was somewhat amusing to hear Alex getting beaten up, Constantine didn't stop his own work. He knew what his task was and understood this was the critical moment.

Alex trusted him, which was why he handed such an important mission to him.

By the original plan, Alex was supposed to handle this mission himself, as he was more familiar with the Wasteland Universe, while Constantine had experience dealing with Darkseid.

But neither of them was the type to rely on others, so for the success of both universes' plans, Alex and Constantine had entrusted each other with their most crucial tasks.

At this moment, the fates of two universes, which would otherwise never have crossed, were entirely in the hands of Alex and Constantine.

"Constantine, what are you doing?" Logan noticed Constantine acting oddly and couldn't help but ask.

In response, Constantine just smiled and shrugged.

"Sorry, mate, I've got an appointment to keep. Gotta go."

"What? What kind of appoi—"

Before Logan could finish, and before anyone else could react, Constantine shuffled a deck of cards in his hands and, in an instant, disappeared in a flash of golden light.

After Constantine's departure, a brief silence fell over the time sled. Everyone, including Mister Fantastic who was adjusting the machine's course, stood there in a daze.

"What does he mean by that? Where did he go?" Susan couldn't help but ask.

"You're asking me?" Logan was equally bewildered. In truth, he knew very little about Constantine or these heroes from other worlds; after all, he was just a retired farmer.

"We need to know where he went! That Brit took the Ultimate Eraser!"

Suddenly realizing something, Mister Fantastic shouted.

"No, not only that! All the weapons of mass destruction we've stored are in his hands! Hurry, Logan, tell me where he went!"

"I really don't know!"

Logan's face showed his worry, and after a moment of thought, he added, "Wait, the Baxter Building! Go to the Baxter Building!"

"Hi."

Greeting her with a calm smile, Constantine slipped a finely crafted dagger from his sleeve.

The cursed Astova Dagger!

Raven's eyes widened as she recognized what Constantine was holding.

"What are you planning to do?!"

But they were already too close. By the time she reacted, it was too late.

Constantine struck swiftly, plunging the blade into the blood-red crystal on Raven's forehead. No one present had expected Constantine to suddenly attack Raven. After all, in their minds, Constantine was a member of the Justice League, a hero.

"What did you just do?!"

Without a second thought, Barbara threw a Batarang his way. She didn't understand what was happening, but she couldn't just stand by while Constantine attacked Raven.

The Batarang barely came within a meter of Constantine before an invisible force deflected it in mid-air.

At the same time, the crystal on Raven's forehead shattered instantly. A black mist poured out, accompanied by a terrifying, ancient voice.

"It's been a while, daughter."

Hearing the nightmarish voice, Raven was overwhelmed with pain. Gripping her head, she let out a series of anguished cries.

"No... no! Aaargh..."

"I told you, I would return someday."

Trigon's voice echoed in everyone's ears, so powerful that even those on the surface, like Star-Lord and the others, heard it and felt a chill. Meanwhile, hidden nearby, Constantine, having completed his task, showed no excess emotion.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Constantine reached out, and within a golden magic circle, the Ultimate Eraser appeared in his hand like a lighter.

'Now for the crucial part.'

He raised his hand, feeling the strange energy emanating from the Ultimate Eraser. Even though he'd prepared meticulously, Constantine couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.

According to Alex, the Ultimate Eraser's power depended on the strength of the wielder's will. If the user's will was strong enough, they could theoretically erase any timeline at will.

This was Constantine's first time holding such a terrifying artifact, and he wasn't sure if he had the willpower to alter a timeline.

He'd never even considered erasing a timeline before.

'Is it ready yet?'

Alex's voice returned, and Constantine finally broke into a smile.

"All set. It all comes down to this."

The only thing Constantine planned to erase was the cosmic barrier between the two timelines!

At the same time, Alex let out a sigh of relief.

'Great, give me three seconds. I'm going to rile up Darkseid!'
