“I have to keep the bones I have left whole. - Said Tsuki Miki.

- I want to enjoy my old age that is coming. - Said Tsuki Miki.

“I don't want to fight anymore, at least for now. - Said Tsuki Miki.

– I will leave the new generation. - Said Tsuki Miki.

- So, a year without you, dragon. Hal said.

- One year. - Said Tsuki Miki. - I'm going away at the end of the month. - Said Tsuki Miki.

So they got out of there.

Tsuki was heading towards a bar, hidden from human eyes, in addition to gossips, paparazzi and reporters on duty.

At that time, when disguising himself, Tsuki thought that he would not be recognized by anyone, so he would not be approached or cornered, however, he was wrong.

As far as he knew they were projected, like holograms, and seen by all the televisions, only the backs of their bodies were seen.

The Presence appeared above them, accompanied by others, like Lucifer and Neron and the others who appeared beside him at the bar, which Tsuki Miki drank, he looked around.

His images appeared like mirrors of water, above the clouds and buildings of Gotham City, Golden Valley, Central City, Star City and all other super hero cities.

Astro-Star loomed above the skies and buildings of Golden Valle and tried unsuccessfully to punch The Presence's faces, but passed right through him.

- We didn't come here to fight. – Said Lucifer. – But to propose a deal. - Said the angel of the morning.

- We are couriers and gamblers. Trigon said.

- Damn, I already told you, no. Tsuki said.

- Hear us out, at least. - Lucifer said.

- Your union with the king of darkness may be beneficial. - Lucifer said.

- Beneficial as, moreover, I know that they did not come just for that. Tsuki said.

- We are here to announce to all heroes, a way to earn money. that will be worth gold. - Said The Presence. – You bet with us, so we try to convince you of the relationship. – Each one of them said.

- We propose to all heroes, they are not obliged to do it if they don't want to. Trigon said.

- What do you think we would do that? - Asked Astro-Star. – Do you think we will do something for you? - Questioned the man of steel.

- They will not be obliged, but if they do. Trigon said. – You will receive 700 billion dollars and 30 gold bars.

- You know, we won't leave you alone. – So he heard them say.

- When two innocent heroes of sin from each of the cities, without being obliged to do so, must if you want to kill in two weeks, 7 innocent people. Trigon said.

– Villains are not worth it, you can or cannot kill voluntarily. Trigon said. – Without being obligated. Trigon said.

A sky of gold appeared above the clouds, and an immense pointed tower floating at its tip a box of dollars, opening them, and revealing to all, appearing in front of all the heroes the bars of gold and the dollars, and then returning to Cashier.

- You kill if you want. Trigon said. – They are not required. - Said the demon.

- Within two weeks, you must decide whether to kill or not. Trigon said.

- The tower is protected, and you won't be able to get out of there in less than two weeks, those who try will regret it. - Said another creature.

- While the other heroes are busy thinking about their shitty lives, we keep them distracted, you better think about how to accept the relationship with the dark king. - Lucifer said.

- There's no real choice there. Tsuki said.

Then when demons and gods started to manipulate the population.

It was announced, on the news, and it went around the internet, broadcast on all the television networks, and nothing else was talked about, beyond that, during the two days straight until the end of the week.

Everyone saw and heard the story, everyone there, felt the pressure and the power...

Yes, they said only the heroes that could kill.

Astro-Star looked towards the sky, and saw there around him the black tower with the gold in its tip at the top of it.

- It can not be. - Said Astro-Star.

- Who would kill for money, a hero would not do that. - One of them said.

Astro-Star called a meeting at the watchtower later that same afternoon.

The heroes gathered at the watchtower, if that was enough, Luthor set up a march and a press conference, about the danger of Astro-Star, that not even the scout could ignore a sum of money with that.

Astro-Star saw Tsuki Miki's chair being occupied by another Dark-Dragon.

- What would he gain giving money for us to kill? - Another questioned.

- See how low we've fallen? Raven gave it a try.

- He could see us corrupt and with that, he would have innocent souls being led to the abyss of fear. - Said Raven.

The Dark-Dragon looked towards everyone and said. – Corrupt. - Said. - At best.

- Why didn't he choose a villain? Zatana asked.

- Do you really think we're going to make money if we kill an innocent person? Constantine asked.

– If they said that anyone could kill, then in the first hour there would have been a kill. Zatana said.

- It is much better to see a hero corrupting himself and killing than a villain, he has already been corrupted, and they kill for money, anyone would see, that there would be no fun in not having rules. - Said Dark-Dragon.

- Then. - Said Green Arrow. – The cool thing is to see who thirsts first. - He said.

Astro-Star flew towards the bat's cave, Tsuki Miki had already returned to the mansion, he was feeling weak, the drink and the pressure didn't go down well, if he had trouble containing Astro-Star at his best, falling into the weak cave floor, it didn't seem to be a good situation.

Damn it, how could they pressure him into having a relationship with a dark god, the vampire king of space?

Tsuki Miki ignored the Warriors' calls, he turned off the computers, the cell phones, everything, he was in the dark, thinking of a backup plan, in case they would literally want to kill, but he was thinking of Astro-Star.

He alternated with eavesdropping and tracking each of his allies, Tsuki Miki supposedly passed the time drinking, he actually grabbed a laptop and followed the footsteps with cameras dotted around towns, following the footsteps of every hero in every town.
