Chapter 1022: In the Twinkling of an Eye, the World Becomes Wider (Middle)_2

"And if you're willing, after receiving this medal, to return it to Moscow, it proves that you are our comrade, capable of carrying on my legacy. That's why you naturally would get this message and uncover the truth."

"Perhaps, you've already discovered that the enormous power you wield is inert. Your magical talent or soul can't fully control it as you still need to find a key."

When the final part of the voice message finished playing, everything returned to silence, and the dream gradually faded away in front of Shiller.

Yet, as the contents of the dream became increasingly transparent, Shiller saw a familiar black figure across from him, accompanied by an even more familiar scent of liquor.

Shiller's eyes bulged, and in the crumbling moment of the dream, his roar echoed throughout the dream space.

"Batman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Shiller sat up abruptly in his bed. He was about to use the gray mist to leave this place and return to Rodriguez Manor to confront Batman when Petrov, who had just gone downstairs, entered. He said,

"Director, Andro, who brought you here, is actually a CIA agent embedded within the KGB. He planned to kidnap you on your way back to Moscow. Fortunately, we arrived just in time."

After speaking, Petrov saluted and said, "Director, all comrades of the eleventh bureau await your instructions."

Shiller felt his mind a jumble, so he simply waved his hand and said, "You all wait downstairs, and I'll call you when I need you."

What surprised Shiller was that Petrov saluted again, quietly leading his men out without asking any questions.

Shiller lay alone on the hotel bed, his eyes closed, the words of his predecessor echoing in his mind.

In simple terms, the original Shiller was an upgraded plus version of Constantine.

This era's Constantine wasn't too outrageous. Although he had offended Lucifer and had dealings with many demon lords of Hell, he had not yet made it onto the blacklists of all demons and angels.

However, judged by the action of the original Shiller, what he did was undoubtedly far more outrageous than Constantine.

Constantine was still robbing Peter to pay Paul, utilizing the mindset of demons not wanting him to fall into enemy hands to keep himself scathed but alive.

However, the original Shiller waged a lightning war against these mysterious beings, deceiving them into granting him enormous power, which he then used up immediately, leaving the bill unpaid.

Everything happened so fast, and nobody had ever done something like this before, so most of these mysterious creatures couldn't react in time.

Moreover, these mysterious beings couldn't comprehend the so-called 'ideal'. They couldn't believe that someone would obliterate his soul just to evade a debt because it didn't make any sense.

If the person is gone, the money can't be spent. So what's the point of the money?

They were also not worried that the debtor might accidentally destroy his soul. After all, he had such a huge amount of power, what else would he use it for if not to protect himself? And how could he accidentally destroy his soul now that he had such a powerful force? None of it made sense from any angle.

As was their usual manner, they unsuspectingly loaned out such considerable power. After all, no one could escape their clutches as long as they existed within the cosmos.

However, when they turned around to collect their debt, they discovered that the soul had vanished into thin air and the power was nowhere to be found. Thus, this enormous amount of power became an unsolved mystery that fell into the hands of the present Shiller.

And based on what the original Shiller described, his creditors are definitely not just a few simple demons or angels.

Having been to Hell, Shiller knew clearly that even if all the demon lords in Hell combined their utmost power, they still wouldn't be able to match this enormous power.

Shiller suspected that the original Shiller might have deceived beings of a level equal to or beyond All Things Green, and there was probably more than one such being.

Conversely, the original Shiller likely tricked beings of a level equal to All Things Green or similar, to amass such great power, enabling him to break through the constraints of space and time to bring him here.

The immediate problem that follows is that once these beings detect the power still within Shiller, he won't be able to make it in the DC Universe anymore.

Shiller thought that this might be a safety measure by the original Shiller. He pushed the current Shiller against all these mysterious entities. This implied that if the present Shiller wanted to ensure he wasn't liquidated, he must rely on this power.

But what the original Shiller failed to take into account was that Shiller didn't need the key. He didn't need to utilize this power but instead shatter and feed it to various personas.

Of course, the superego used this power to repair the High Tower and elevate the integrity of certain personas, but not much had been consumed. If he wished, he could use this power to enhance all the personas entirely. At that point, with all the Enhanced Shillers emerging simultaneously, they might not necessarily be at a disadvantage even if they battled against these mysterious beings.
