- So... - Thalis said.
- And now ? - Thalis asked.
- You know. - Trigon said there is more to the bet than we actually said. - Said Trigon.
- Come with us. - Said Trigon.
- Why...? - He questioned.
- Come on, come with us, we have a surprise. - Said Nekron.
Bruce accompanied them, he didn't seem to be there to argue.
Before the bets.
A few days ago, in a bar...
He spent that night at the bar, he simply wanted to forget, in a hidden corner of the night bar, with a huge cover, and hiding from view, he thought that a cover would cover who he was, foolishly, in the middle of his fourth bottle, someone sat down your front.
When at last, touching the table, he raised his face from the bottle, and it was...
- Trigon...?
- How?
- Well... well... - Said the devil...
- What you want? - He asked.
In the end, the bar darkened, and people did not go out, they observed, but not before he was oppressed by the presence of the demon.
- I want to bet with you. - He said.
- Why...? - He thought of escape routes, but there were more around him, they were Trigon, Lucifer, Mamon, Michael, Rafael, Azazel, Neron, Spectro, Nekron and Phantom Stranger, all sat around the table.
- What do you all do here...?
- We came to bet. - Said Trigon as his spokesman.
- Bet what? Thalis asked.
- Wouldn't you be interested? - Questioned Spectro.
- So, what are you going to bet? Thalis asked, apparently without a way out.
- The bet is as follows. - Said Lucifer.
- At least 2 heroes from each city in America will kill. - Said. – An innocent. - Said Lucifer.
- And who said that a hero will kill for each one of you? Thalis asked.
- Let's just stick to the question. – Neron said.
- For money. - Said Lucifer.
- What? Thalis asked.
- And what do you want with that? – Thalis asked, he felt a headache, anger and resentment, besides that he knew it was not a hangover.
- For money. - Said Azazel.
- A lot of money. - Said Neron.
- Apparently, I would be rich only in killing. - Thalis said.
- That, in addition to greed. - Said Azazel.
- Prove that even the bravest of heroes succumb to the sins of gluttony and ambition. - Said Neron.
- They won't. - Bruce said.
- So, if you believe that so much, Thalis, bet with us. - Said Azazel.
- And what would I take with that? Thalis asked.
- The fact that you saved innocents and that you prevented people from dying. - Said Spectro.
- You are perfect for us. - Said Spectro.
- You will be the judge and the mediator of the bets. - Said Trigon. – What are we doing? - Said Trigon.
- And why do you think I would help you in anything, or just participate in your schemes? - Thalis disputed.
- Because if you don't accept. - Said Azazel.
- We will go after another after another until we succeed, and he or she will be part of our bet. - Said Trigon.
– And they won't have a choice in the end. – Said the fallen angel, Michael.
- Do you think it will be easy, like this? Bruce asked.
- In the absence of your opinion, others will emerge. - Said Nekron.
- It will happen whether you want to or not. - Said Trigon.
- You are just one of the chosen ones. - Said Neron.
- So, what are the bets? Thalis asked.
- You will bet, or you can prevent. – Neron said.
- What's the bet on you? Bruce asked.
- The bet is as follows. - Said Rafael.
- The rules of the bet. - Said Trigon.
- Two heroes from each city after two weeks. - Said Trigon.
- Two sinless heroes from each city, he being pure and innocent, if he kills a person of his own free will he should kill an innocent person without sin, after two weeks if they kill, they will receive 700 billion dollars. - Said Azazel.
- They may or may not kill. - Said Trigon. - They are free to do it or not. - Said Trigon.
- They will each receive 700 billion dollars and 30 gold bars, for the first hero, if they kill seven innocents after three days. - Said Trigon.
- What if they don't kill? Thalis asked.
- They won't get anything. - Said Azazel.
- That simple? Thalis asked.
- That simple. - Said Azazel.
- What if I prevent it? Thalis asked. - What do I get out of it? Thalis asked.
- Besides the fact that you prevented someone from being killed? Asked Trigon.
- Will you save souls that may or may not go to my realms? Asked Trigon. - The glory of saving innocents.
- Three days? Thalis asked.
- Yes, that's enough to bring it to the fore.
- All right. - Thalis said. - Anything else I need to do? Thalis asked.
- Observe each of the heroes who may come to kill. - Said Trigon. - You will be the judge. - Said Trigon.
- When are you going to do that? Thalis asked.
- Now. - They said.
- What...? - But there was a smoke and everyone disappeared.
In the next second, he heard a crash, and all the televisions began to drizzle, the ground shook, the weather was overtaken by a red haze, all around him, voices were heard.
Thalis left everything there, and when accompanied by all the people who left and heard and saw Nekron himself and other heroes and across all heroic cities, above the city skies.
