Volume 4: The Last Day Chapter 37 How can Catwoman, who is unable to mediate the civil war within the Bat Family, become Wayne’s mistress?
"The mad dogs from another world are starting to attack us! Fight back!!!"
In front of Crime Alley at night, the solemn war horn was blown by Shazam, who was notoriously brainless and impulsive. The divine lightning in his hand prepared for Mason turned around and hit the wizards who were holding up shields behind him.
This kind of stress reaction can’t actually be blamed on Shazam’s impulsiveness.
After all, in the recent internal propaganda of the magic circle, since the last invasion, the ugly image of members of the Star Society like Mason has become almost the same as cannibalistic monsters and scourges.
Now he saw his people being gathered together, and Mason was full of confidence and fearless. In addition, a group of people in strange costumes suddenly appeared behind him and performed magic that looked incredible.
Anyone who comes here in 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 at heart.
He is only three years older than Damian and doesn't have the tough ninja mentality that Damian has developed through years of training. How calm can you expect him to remain in a situation like this?
The divine lightning he threw out was fast and sharp, splitting in the air like a trident and smashing hard at the flash behind him.
These heroes who manipulate lightning are so cool and majestic. The action of throwing lightning alone has the temperament of legendary figures. As the spokespersons of thunder, they also seem to change the surrounding weather when launching attacks. Low muffled thunder mixed with dark clouds surrounds Gotham, quickly outlining a low pressure of "the war is coming".
But unfortunately, this cool attack did not produce any results.
Flash magic such as Disapparate has always been a passive skill of high-level wizards in Hogwarts. The dozens of wizards coming from the Star Castle were already very vigilant, and they scattered like birds and beasts the moment they saw the lightning coming.
With their superior numbers, they quickly surrounded the indigenous spellcasters who seemed to be planning to "ambush" them in less than a second.
The wizards standing on the dark rooftops skillfully set up magic shields.
They fully demonstrated their excellent learning ability as pure-blood wizards. Not only were the blue Fiendfyre and traditional Avatar the Great Melon thrown out, but the various magics were also mixed with "new tricks" they learned from other systems.
For example, the lightning release that the Asgard Rune Wizards are good at, and the extreme cold blizzards that the Jotunheim and Frost Giants are best at.
The most outrageous thing is that the wizards of the Lighthouse Team drew out their wands and...guns under the rune protection presided over by the great wizard Igor himself!
Well, that's the fighting style of North American wizards. In a battle where every second counts, a carefully prepared killing curse is often no more convenient than the "American Iai" passed down as a traditional art.
"It's really a trap!"
The captain of the Lighthouse Squad, the great wizard Mr. Agilbert Fontana sneered, holding a magic wand in one hand and a silver revolver in the other, and shouted to Igor:
"Retreat? Or fight?"
"They have the Philosopher's Stone!"
Great Wizard Igor held a unique crystal detector in his hand, which was shaking rapidly like a compass and finally locked onto the crowd in front of him.
Its target was the jewelry box that Mason had just thrown out in the chaos.
It now fell right under Xiaozha's feet.
However, as a decent white wizard with excellent family heritage and the disliked scumbag Kang, Zack has always been at two extremes. He never takes the initiative to take these things of unknown origin. Instead, he takes a few steps back with a look of vigilance.
However, a spirit in a red leotard floating next to her didn't see it that way.
Perhaps smelling the magical fragrance in the box, this ghost nicknamed "Dead Man" who maintained a fairly good personal friendship with Constantine, or who shared similar interests, reached out to pick up the box.
This scene made the great wizard's eyes red.
Although they were ambushed, this was something everyone had expected. What really excited him was that the thing they were looking for was right in front of them, which saved them the trouble of searching for it.
Such a precise landing point was obviously specially prepared by Mr. Hunter.
Well, it seems that the rumor is wrong. The great exploration mentor is obviously a kind-hearted person. He does not regard human life as worthless at all as the legend says.
"It's right there! Attack! Grab it! The elixir of immortality is good for everyone!"
Igor, who knew human nature well, roared, waved his wand and cast a killing curse, causing green rays to explode on the spot. The dangerous soul attack made all the magic experts present alert.
There was almost no need to say more, and the next moment the two groups were fighting each other.
In the confusion, Doctor Fate and Black Adam looked at each other.
The two smart bosses immediately felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but now that the people from the Star Society had really appeared and were indeed "strong in both men and horses", they did not have time to think too much.
"superior!"
Doctor Fate crossed his hands, and a round of ancient Egyptian symbol representing order appeared in front of him.
In an instant, the environment of the three surrounding blocks was transformed in a dreamy scene like the peeling of crystals. The ultra-large-scale reality-rewriting magic allowed the dangerous magic battle to be transferred from the urban area where accidental injuries were extremely easy to occur to the suburbs of Gotham in a second.
This big man, who was extremely tall in both appearance and style, even had time to cast a collective restraint, trying to control these wizards in place.
The magic boss, who has a similar status to Superman in the physical field, was indeed extraordinary when he made a move, and the wizards immediately felt the heavy pressure.
The two great wizards knew they had encountered a tough opponent when they saw half of their team members imprisoned. If they allowed the opponent to continue like this, the guy wearing the strange helmet alone would be enough to kill them all.
"Igor! Where's your damn gift from the God King!"
At the critical moment, even the great wizard cursed. The great wizard Agilbert waved his wand and released a large-scale phantom blue fire spell. The magical flame roared like a fire dragon and pounced in front of him. He raised his right hand and emptied six bullets in an instant. The standard American Iai shot made the dead spirits in front of him scream.
As he roared, the gloomy Great Wizard Igor finally took out a holy object he got from the Aesir Realm.
A small stone sculpture-like ornament, polished very smoothly and shaped into the shape of a small stone spear. The old wizard stared at Doctor Fate who was still casting a spell in the sky, muttering to himself, then sneered and raised the stone spear and threw it into the sky.
Doctor Fate, who had already roared at the whole audience, now felt his hair stand on end.
The warning from Nabu, the God of Order to whom he served, made him instantly abandon the binding magic and turn to defense. With his cloak fluttering behind him, a huge symbol of order descended like a wall, shining on all sides to protect him.
but……
"You're being targeted by Gungnir and you still want to run?"
The old wizard laughed grimly and painfully, and the stone spear he threw turned into a dazzling lightning that fell from the sky, accurately piercing through Doctor Fate's defense with an irresistible, unavoidable and undeniable attitude.
There was even a dazzling burst of blood light in the sky.
This scene made the local spellcasters in the melee stunned for a moment. They all knew how powerful Doctor Fate was, but it was a bit too unreal that their boss was knocked down by just one blow.
"I'm fine, keep going!"
The next second, Doctor Fate's voice, enduring the pain, rang out on the battlefield.
This made the two great wizards' faces change. They turned around and ran away without talking about snatching the fragments of the Philosopher's Stone.
The person who couldn't be defeated even with all their trump cards has been confirmed to be someone they can't afford to offend at the moment, and if there is anything they learned from their experience in the Star Club, it is that they must never hesitate when it is time to run.
They were pioneers and explorers, not soldiers and they did not have the soldiers' habit of persisting in combat.
B-level members like them were all "blessed" by the Star Society. Relying on the gift from the mysterious godhead devil, the two great wizards could not be stopped if they wanted to leave.
They opened a strange crimson gate to hell, like a large Hearthstone being activated.
Not only did he escape, but he also took his teammates with him. Even those who had been imprisoned or knocked unconscious by Doctor Fate disappeared on the spot in the shining red light.
The brief contact and battle ended with one side's voluntary withdrawal, but no one present felt relieved.
Admittedly, it is exciting to see the opponent's trump card blocked by Doctor Fate, but the problem is that not everyone is a big shot like Doctor Fate who can confront the power of the God King.
Judging from the power of Gungnir's Sure-Hit Lance 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 you can’t avoid that thing!
No matter which legend it is, the judgment from the God-King Odin is always successful.
"They didn't get far, they're in Gotham City, block it immediately!"
Doctor Fate, who was holding his abdomen, was supported by Xiao Zha and gave instructions to his companions:
"Call more colleagues here, and immediately invite Madam Shangdu to enter the mysterious house and preside over the suppression barrier with Xuanlan. We must not let them leave peacefully like this!"
"This thing... they came here for this."
The dead man, who had just been weakened by being shot six times and burned by the fierce fire, took out the jewelry box in his hand and handed it to Doctor Fate, who took it, opened it and took a look.
A blood-colored crystal placed in it made the eyes of everyone around light up.
Even though they may not know the use of this thing, the sense of power and mystery emanating from the purified magic power is enough to attract people's attention.
"It's just a bait!"
Black Adam said gloomily:
"It's a hot potato that the cunning Mason Cooper handed to us. As long as we have it in our hands, those difficult wizards will not give it up."
"It's originally a relationship between invaders and defenders, it's a fight to the death!"
Shazam waved his fist and shouted:
"It doesn't matter whether you have this beautiful little stone or not. Do you want to keep wasting time here, or go over and beat them up? Those guys are so annoying the way they dart around, and their magic is weird too. My lungs are still hurting from that weird spell just now."
"Wait! Are you guys overlooking something?!"
Xiao Zha, who had been silent the whole time, looked around at the wilderness destroyed by magic. She said in a strange tone:
"You guys were so caught up in the fight that you forgot what we were doing here! Where's Mason? Where did Mason Cooper go? Has anyone seen that guy? Aren't those the reinforcements he called in?
He retreated with them?"
"No."
Doctor Fate gasped:
“He ran away as soon as the battle started. The strange invisibility cloak made it difficult for us to detect his presence, and he had some strange object in his hand that could affect the mind.
Zatanna, the other party is also a spellcaster.
You wouldn't think that the first choice of two groups of spellcasters known for their rationality would be to fight to the death? We were tricked by Mason. This was arranged by him.
But the good news is that he's hiding in Gotham, and that's the only thing I know for sure right now.
Don't worry, the barrier we have improved will be centered around the mysterious house and will suppress the operation of that strange world gate. He can't run away!"
The big man said in a deep voice:
"The monitoring will always be effective. As long as he tries to use tools 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 extremely aggressive wizards who cross the border with a 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 mind, 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."
"You go ahead."
Black Adam snorted and said:
"Anyway, it's useless for you to stay here with your brain. This is a battle between wizards. Strength is not the first priority. I'm afraid that you will be used by them to turn against us."
"Stop looking down on others!"
Shazam cursed:
"I think you, a guy 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 should contact Batman. What Black Adam said makes sense. Facing a group of mysterious wizards with ancient heritage, a mentally challenged child can be easily exploited by them."
Zatanna said helplessly:
"Also, don't call me Xiao Zha, I'm old enough to be your mother, you magical brat!"
"Okay, okay."
Shazam was devastated and had no choice but to transform into lightning and fly towards the Batcave.
At the same time, in the Bat Cave which had been cleared in advance to avoid further losses, the members of Team K moved freely. The two fully fueled Batfighters only needed to install the space navigation module before they could take off. At this critical juncture, the detection magic placed by Zha Kang outside the manor suddenly gave an alarm.
He frowned and said:
"Damn it! Why is Shazam here?"
"Are you in trouble?"
Ertong, who was bandaged in the cabin, immediately grabbed the Alice sword at hand, but Zha Kang shook his head and said:
"No, it's no trouble. It's just Shazam. I can fool him with just a few words. But it's too much trouble to waste time on him."
"You go!"
Catwoman, who was sitting on Batman's chair and doing her nails with a file, smoothed her hair and said:
"I'll stay here and deal with the kid. Mason said we don't have to worry about him, but leaving him alone against the entire Justice League is still too much.
He’s going to need help.”
"Ha, so in the end you just can't bear to part with your little brother Mason, right?"
The scumbag Kang jumped into the Batplane and said to Catwoman condescendingly:
"If he were twenty years older, or if you were twenty years younger, there would be no Batman. I think you really have bad intentions towards young men, Selina."
"Shut up, you filthy fellow who fucked with the Poseidon."
Catwoman snorted.
Glancing at Miss Magg, who was sleeping soundly beside her, and at the jar further away, she said:
"I just don't want to see him and Batman become enemies. They shouldn't be enemies. The conflict between the two men closest to me should be mediated by a woman like me.
Go quickly and don't waste time."
