Still Got Set Up

"Lucifer, it looked like it would be a while before I came back for you." After agreeing to Constantine's request, Zhang Tianran turned to Lucifer and said.

At that moment, Lucifer was trying to seduce Mia. He paid no attention whatsoever to Zhang Tianran's decision; to Lucifer, this sort of thing was merely entertainment anyway.

Lucifer took out a card leading to Hell and handed it to Constantine.

"John, we're even." Having settled Constantine's favor, Lucifer turned around and resumed his party.

Constantine was very satisfied with this outcome. The Antimatter Wave was indeed dangerous to other parallel worlds, but in this world, which had God, it would not be affected by the Antimatter Wave.

However, it would not be so easy to come here next time. They would probably have to pass through Hell again...

"Let's go, Dr. Zhang! I hope you're strong enough now. Otherwise, your life could be in danger." Constantine sounded as though he were kindly warning him, but he was actually mocking Zhang Tianran in secret.

"Seriously, I'm actually a little curious now. What exactly did future me do to offend you so badly that you stayed angry for so long?" Zhang Tianran asked, a trace of curiosity in his eyes.

Constantine cautiously kept his mouth shut and even warned those beside him not to reveal anything about the future.

Then Constantine used Lucifer's card, and the group successfully arrived on Purgatory Island.

Of course, this place was actually Hell. Everyone in Hell occupied a different place, and this was the Hell that belonged exclusively to Green Arrow.

"So this is Hell? It doesn't feel all that different. What a disappointment." Zhang Tianran shook his head, having toured the entirety of Purgatory Island in an instant.

The Spectre from his memories was nowhere to be found, so he probably had not appeared here yet. Instead, he saw Oliver Queen, living in this place like a beast.

"Don't run around. If the time comes and I still haven't found you, you'll have to figure out how to escape Hell on your own." Noticing Zhang Tianran's actions just now, Constantine immediately warned him.

The next second, he was subdued by the suddenly appearing Oliver Queen.

Constantine was actually quite skilled in hand-to-hand combat, but he still fell a little short compared to Oliver Queen, especially since he had been ambushed.

Zhang Tianran stood quietly to the side and watched without intervening. There was no need for him to act. Though it was rather boring, this group soon managed to awaken Oliver Queen through conversation.

Just as Constantine was about to take Oliver Queen away, the person Zhang Tianran had been waiting for finally appeared.

Seeing this, Zhang Tianran directly pulled the newly appeared Spectre into Speed Mode.

"Sorry, there's something I want to discuss with you. But these people can only remain in Hell for a limited time, so we can only talk in this state." Zhang Tianran spoke calmly.

"The Speed Force... You're a Speedster? What do you want from me? The current crisis is the most important thing. I hope you won't interfere." The Spectre recognized Zhang Tianran's identity as a Speedster and issued a warning.

The Spectre, God's Spirit of Vengeance, judged sins and punished sinners in God's stead. He possessed many superpowers, including the ability to control time. He was one of the strongest forces in the universe...

"I want to know, if the Anti-Monitor is killed, then his remaining power..." Zhang Tianran considered it for a moment and decided to set his sights on the Anti-Monitor first.

Wait, why did he want to go after the Anti-Monitor?

"You will obtain what you want, but not now. Still, even if you gain nothing, are you willing to help? With you, our chances of winning will be greater." The Spectre suddenly spoke, disrupting Zhang Tianran's train of thought.

Just then, Zhang Tianran suddenly remembered that this matter seemed very dangerous. Why had he targeted the Anti-Monitor so quickly?

Too early.

Why had he suddenly decided to... Constantine, you really screwed me over! I'll remember this grudge... He had always acted with great caution, yet he had still fallen victim to Constantine's magic. When exactly had that guy...

Sigh, I was still too careless! It seemed he needed to quickly find a way to make up for this weakness. He could not keep going like this.

At last, Zhang Tianran realized that he had been affected by Constantine's magic.

"If I say I want to leave now, is it a little too late?" Zhang Tianran shot Constantine an irritated look and said with a bitter smile.

"If you want to leave, you can do so at any time. You do not belong to this universe, so you can leave." The Spectre spoke unhurriedly.

Because of Zhang Tianran's Speed Force, the Spectre no longer needed to hurry. Though he could control time as well, most of his power was currently occupied with maintaining the multiverse.

"Forget it. Since I'm here, I might as well do something. But don't expect too much. If things become impossible, I'll run." Zhang Tianran said helplessly.

Once some things had been joined, it was not possible to simply leave whenever one wanted. Time had to form a closed loop, or the consequences would be extremely serious.

No longer interested in talking with the Spectre, Zhang Tianran canceled Speed Mode and returned to Constantine's side.

"John, no matter your reason, remember this! You brought this on yourself..." After saying that, Zhang Tianran directly gave Constantine a round of electrotherapy.

As Constantine convulsed all over, he understood everything. Though his body was in agony, a smile appeared on his face.

The timeline could indeed be altered by unforeseen changes, but since that incident had happened, it proved that there was still a future!

"Time's almost up. We should leave." Constantine understood why Zhang Tianran had suddenly done this. Ignoring everything else, he used his trembling left hand to pull out the card Lucifer had given him.

The pattern on it was already almost completely gone.

While Zhang Tianran was teaching Constantine a lesson, the Spectre had already stopped Oliver Queen and briefly explained everything to him.

In the end, Oliver Queen chose to stay. Mia was extremely unwilling to accept it, but before she could do anything, Constantine pulled everyone out of Hell.

After Constantine led everyone out of Hell, Zhang Tianran gave him another round of electrotherapy before he could even steady himself.

"You bastard... You hold a grudge too well!" Constantine barely pulled a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth. At that moment, he did not even have the strength to light it.

"Since you're no longer useful anyway, this is only the appetizer. To thank you for dragging me into this, I have plenty of time to think of ways to punish you." Zhang Tianran smiled faintly and did not waste any more time on Constantine.

The Speed Force flowed rapidly through his body, and Zhang Tianran easily entered the time stream. This point in time was a little too late; he needed to go a little further back.

Since he had gotten involved, he might as well put in some effort.
