Chapter 239 37. How can Catwoman, who cannot mediate the conflicts in the Bat Family’s civil war, become Mother Wayne?
"The mad dogs from another world have begun to attack us! Fight back!!!"
In front of Crime Alley at night, the solemn war horn was blown by the notoriously brainless and impulsive Shazam. The divine lightning prepared for Mason in his hand turned and hit the wizards who were holding up the shield behind him. .
This kind of stress reaction cannot actually be blamed on Shazam's impulsiveness.
After all, in the recent internal publicity of the Magic Circle, since the last invasion, the ugly image of members of the Society of Stars like Mason has become almost as ugly as man-eating monsters and scourges.
Now I saw my people being gathered together, and I saw Mason full of confidence and no fear. In addition, a group of people in strange clothes suddenly appeared behind him and performed magic that looked incredible.
Anyone who comes under this situation will think that this is a despicable ambush!
Not to mention that although Shazam looks like an adult, he is just a teenage boy on the inside.
He is only three years older than Damian and does not have the tough ninja temperament developed by years of training. How much calm can you expect him to stay in this situation?
The divine lightning thrown out by him was fast and urgent, splitting in the air and hitting the flash behind like a shooting trident.
These heroes who control lightning are really cool and sassy. Just the action of throwing lightning has the temperament of a legendary figure. As the spokesperson of thunder, when launching an attack, it seems to change the surrounding weather, and the low and dull thunder is mixed. As dark clouds surrounded Gotham, they quickly created a low pressure that said "the war is coming".
But unfortunately, this cool attack did not result in any results.
The flash magic of transfiguration has always been a passive skill for high-level wizards at Hogwarts. The dozens of wizards who came from the Star Castle were very vigilant, and they were scattered as soon as the lightning struck them.
In a swishing flash, they had the numerical advantage and in less than a second, they surrounded the indigenous spellcasters in front of them who seemed to be intending to "ambush" them.
The wizards standing on the dark roof skillfully set up magic shields one by one.
They fully demonstrated their excellent learning abilities as pure-blood wizards. Not only did they use the blue fire and the traditional Avatar, the various magics were also mixed with "new tricks" they learned from other systems. ".
For example, the lightning release that Asgardian rune wizards are good at, and the extremely cold snowstorm that Jotunheim and the frost giants are best at.
The most outrageous thing is that the wizards of the lighthouse team took out their wands and guns during the rune protection hosted by the great wizard Igor himself!
Well, the fighting style of North American wizards is like this. In battles where every second counts, a well-prepared death curse is often not more convenient than the "American Iai" that has been passed down as a traditional art.
"It's really a trap!"
The captain of the lighthouse team, the great wizard Mr. Egilbert Fontana, sneered. He held a wand in one hand and a silver revolver in the other and shouted to Igor:
"Withdraw? Or fight?"
"The Philosopher's Stone is in their hands!"
The great wizard Igor held a unique crystal detector in his hand, which vibrated rapidly like a compass and finally locked onto the crowd in front of him.
Its target was clearly pointed at the jewelry box that Mason had just thrown out.
It will fall right under Xiao Zha's feet.
However, as a white wizard with a decent style, he has an excellent family education and a disgusting Zha Kang. Xiao Zha has always been at two extremes. Xiao Zha has never taken the initiative to reach out for these things of unknown origin. Take a few steps back cautiously.
However, a spirit body wearing red tights suspended next to her didn't see it that way.
Probably because he smelled the magic fragrance in the box, this ghost who was nicknamed "Dead Man" and maintained a good personal friendship with Constantine, or who had a similar smell, was reaching out to pick up the box.
This scene made the great wizard's eyes turn red.
Although he was ambushed in front of him, this was what everyone expected. What really excited him was that what they were looking for was actually right in front of them, which saved them a lot of searching.
It can be seen that such a precise landing point was specially prepared by Mr. Hunter.
Well, it seems that the gossip is wrong. The great mentor of exploration is obviously an enthusiastic person, and he does not have the legendary style of treating human life as trivial.
"Right there! Attack! Grab it! Everyone has a share in making the elixir!"
Igor, who was well versed in people's hearts, roared, waved his wand and threw a life-killing curse, causing green rays to explode in place. The dangerous soul attack alerted all the magicians present.
Needless to say, the two groups of people were fighting in the next moment.
Doctor Fate and Black Adam looked at each other in the chaos.
These two big guys with good brains immediately felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but now that the people from the Star Club had really appeared, and they were indeed "strong soldiers and horses", there was no room for them to think too much.
"Up!"
Doctor Fate crossed his hands, and a round of ancient Egyptian symbols representing order appeared in front of him.
In an instant, the environment of the three surrounding blocks was changed in a scene like a dreamy crystal peeling off. The large-scale reality-rewriting magic moved everyone's dangerous magic battle from the urban area that is extremely easy to cause accidental damage to Gotham in one second. suburb.
This boss, who was extremely tall from appearance to strength, still had time to throw out a collective confinement, trying to control these wizards in place.
The magic boss, who had a similar status to Dachao on the physical side, turned out to be extraordinary when he made a move, and the wizard immediately felt heavy pressure.
When the two great wizards saw half of the team members imprisoned, they knew they had encountered a tough situation. If the other party is allowed to continue doing this, the guy wearing the strange helmet alone will be enough to kill them all.
"Igor! Where's your fucking gift from the King of Gods!"
At the critical moment, even the great wizard uttered foul language. The great wizard Ai Gilbert waved his wand and released a large-scale dark blue fire spell. The magic flames like a fire dragon roared and rushed towards him. He raised his right hand and hit the air in an instant. Six bullets, a standard American Iaido shot, made the dead spirit scream in front of him.
In his roar, the gloomy great wizard Igor finally took out a sacred object obtained from the Asa God's Domain.
A small stone sculpture-like ornament was polished very smooth and shaped into the shape of a small stone gun. The old wizard stared at Dr. Fate who was still casting spells in the sky and muttered something. He sneered and raised the stone gun towards the sky. Throw it out.
Dr. Fate, who had already shouted at the audience, felt his hair stand on end at this moment.
The warning from Nabu, the god of order to whom he was loyal, made him give up his binding magic instantly and instead turned to defense. With the cloak flying behind his back, a huge symbol of order descended like a wall and shone on all sides to protect him.
But.
“You’ve been targeted by Gangnir and you still want to run away?”
The old wizard gave a gloomy and distressed laugh, and the stone spear he threw turned into a dazzling bolt of lightning and fell from the sky, accurately piercing Dr. Destiny's defense with a brazen gesture that was irresistible, evasive, and irreverent.
A ball of dazzling blood even shot out in the sky.
This scene made the local spellcasters in the melee stunned for a moment. They all knew how powerful Dr. Destiny was, but it was a bit unreal for their boss to be knocked down by just one blow, right?
"I'm fine, keep going!"
The next second, Dr. Destiny's voice of pain echoed on the battlefield.
This made the expressions of the two great wizards change, and they stopped talking about snatching the magic stone fragments and turned around and ran away.
People who can't be killed even with all their trump cards have been confirmed to be people they can't afford to offend at the moment, and if their experience in the Star Club has taught them anything, it must be that they must not hesitate when it's time to run.
They are pioneers and explorers. They are not soldiers and do not have the habit of soldiers to persist in fighting.
B-level members like them were all "blessed" from the Stars Association. Relying on the blessing of the mysterious god-like devil, the two great wizards could not be stopped when they wanted to leave.
They opened the eerie crimson gates of hell, like a giant hearthstone being activated.
Not only did he escape, but he also took away his team members. Even those who had been imprisoned or knocked unconscious by Doctor Destiny disappeared in the flash of red light.
The brief contact and battle ended with one side evacuating on their own initiative, but no one present felt happy.
It is true that the opponent's trump card is blocked by Dr. Fate, which can be exciting, but the problem is that not everyone is a big boss like Dr. Fate who can force the power of the God King.
With the strength of Gungnir's sure-hit shot just now, even masters like Black Adam and Shazam who are also good at lightning magic would be seriously injured if they were hit.
The terrible thing is that it can't be avoided!
No matter what kind of legend it is, the judgment from God King Odin is sure to hit.
"They haven't run far, they are in Gotham City, block it immediately!"
Dr. Destiny, who was holding his abdomen, was supported by Xiao Zha and directed to the companions in front of him:
"Summon more colleagues to come here, and immediately invite Madam Xanadu into the Mystery House to preside over the suppression barrier with Xuan Lan. We must not let them leave peacefully like this!"
"This thing. They came here for this."
The dead man, who had been shot six times and burned with fierce fire, was weak and took out the jewelry box in his hand and handed it to Dr. Fate, who took it in his hand and opened it for a look.
A blood-colored crystal placed among them made the eyes of everyone around him light up.
Although they may not know the usefulness of this thing, the sense of power and mystery exuded by the purified magic power is enough to seduce the mind.
"It's just a bait!"
Black Adam said sullenly:
"It's a hot potato handed to us by the cunning Mason Cooper. As long as this thing is in our hands, those difficult wizards will not give up."
"The relationship between the invaders and the defenders is originally a fight to the death!"
Shazam waved his fist and shouted:
"It's the same whether there are these beautiful little rocks. Do you want to continue wasting time here, or do you want to go over and beat them up? Those guys are so annoying to flash around, and their magic is also very strange. The weird spell just now made me My lung tubes are still hurting.”
"Wait! Did you guys overlook something?"
Xiao Zha, who had been silent, looked around at the wilderness destroyed by magic, and said in a strange tone:
"Did you forget what we came to do during the fight! Where is Mason? Where did Mason Cooper go? Who saw that guy? Isn't that the reinforcements he invited?
Did he retreat with them? ”
"No."
Dr. Fate gasped and said:
"He ran away as soon as the war started. The strange invisibility cloak made it difficult for us to catch his breath, and he had some kind of strange object in his hand that could affect the mind.
Zatanna, the other party is also a spell caster.
You wouldn’t think that the first choice of two groups of spellcasters who are known for their rationality would be to fight to the death, right? We were tricked by Mason, and he arranged it.
But the good news is that he's hiding in Gotham, which is the only thing I know for sure right now.
Don't worry, the barrier we improved will center on the Mystery House and suppress the strange operation of the world gate. He can't escape! ”
The boss said in a deep voice:
"The surveillance will always be in effect. As long as he tries to use a tool that can travel through the world, I will be able to capture him immediately. But now, Mason Cooper is no longer the number one threat, everyone.
Those wizards who are extremely aggressive and come across the border with purpose must be stopped! ”
"This is Batman's city, why not ask him for help?"
Shazam rubbed his head and whispered:
"That guy is omnipotent in my heart, and I know where his secret base is. I went there once when I worked with him last time, but I have to abide by the agreement with him and not bring anyone else there."
< br>
"You go ahead."
Black Adam snorted and said:
"Anyway, your brain is useless if you stay here. This is a confrontation between wizards and wizards. Strength is not the first priority. I'm afraid that you will be used by them to deal with us."
"Stop looking down on others!"
Shazam cursed:
"I think you, a guy who no one likes, are just jealous of my popularity. If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Zha, she will definitely be willing to let me stay here. Right? Xiao Zha?"
"Well, you'd better contact Batman. What Black Adam said makes sense. Facing a group of mysterious wizards inherited from ancient times, a child with an unsound mind can indeed be easily taken advantage of by them."
Zatanna said helplessly:
"Besides, don't call me Xiao Zha, I'm old enough to be your mother, you magical little kid!"
"Okay, okay."
Shazam was so shocked that he had no choice but to turn into lightning and fly towards the Batcave.
At the same time, in the Batcave that was being emptied in advance to avoid further losses, the members of Team K felt like they were in an uninhabited land. The two fully fueled Batfighters only needed to be equipped with space navigation modules to take off. They were busy here. At this critical juncture, the detection magic placed outside the manor by Zha Kang suddenly issued a warning.
He frowned and said:
"What the hell! Why is Shazam here?"
"Trouble?"
Ergong, who was bandaged in the cabin, immediately grabbed the Alice sword at hand, but Zha Kang shook his head and said:
"No, there's no trouble, it's just Shazam. I can fool him around with just a few words, but this time is too troublesome to waste on him."
"You go!"
Catwoman, who was sitting in Batman's chair and manicuring her nails leisurely with a file, brushed her hair and said:
"I'll stay here and deal with the kid. Mason says we don't have to worry about him, but it's too much to leave him alone against the entire Justice League.
He's going to need help. ”
"Ha, after all, you just can't let go of your little brother Mason, right?"
Zha Kang jumped into the Bat-fighter cowardly and said condescendingly to Catwoman:
"If he were twenty years older, or you were twenty years younger, what would happen to Batman? I think you are really plotting against the little girl, Selina."
"Shut up, you dirty guy fucking with Poseidon."
Catwoman snorted.
Glancing at Miss McGonagall who was lying there sleeping soundly and the jar placed further away, she said:
"I just don't want to see him and Batman become enemies. They shouldn't be enemies. Let me, a woman, mediate the conflict between the two men who are closest to me.
You go quickly, don't waste time. "(End of Chapter)
