Chapter 611: Owl Is in Trouble Again (Part 2)
Of course, this opening is like the classic line of the last time the Gotham owls got into trouble, but in this world, one clown will not copy another clown.
The clown Schiller became a clown cat and changed the way of playing. He made a real riddle. Of course, all the answers were "meow meow meow". In the city of cats, what other answers could there be?
This sounds absurd and weird, but this group of owl monsters disguised as cats are not human. They have a certain amount of wisdom, but no humanity. This is not a toy that any clown would like. The clown cat Schiller is just a formality.
After the group of owls was destroyed, the dark owl priest who was still confused about where all the energy he had accumulated went immediately realized that the dark owl priest who had just found out that his home was gone would naturally want to keep his other home, so they returned to the station in Metropolis.
After returning there, they did not find anything unusual. The owl statue was still there, the cats were still there, and there was no sign of anyone having been there. Obviously, Constantine and Hal did a very good job of post-processing, especially Hal, who could use the energy of the green light to shape objects, and even blocked the hole blown by Clark and the hole next to the room.
The group of dark owl priests did not find anything unusual, except that one of them found that a cat cage on the ground was opened and a cat was missing. However, they did not catch cats in person, so it was impossible for them to remember every cat. He just thought that the cage was not closed tightly and the cat ran away by itself, and he did not care.
The leader held up his staff. His hands were like the claws of an owl, covered with layers of circular patterns and sharp nails. He said in a sharp voice: "Someone destroyed our arrangements in the dream world. We must take back our position!"
As they took their positions and stood in a circle around the owl statue, everyone held up their staffs and began to chant the spell: "Murizi...Murizi..."
From the perspective of the spiritual world, black flames began to burn on the statue. The branch owl hovered above, making a sharp cry, then soared into the sky, swooped down, and entered the body of the cat in the cage on the ground.
After the owl swooped down, it did disappear into the cat's body, but no owl appeared in Gotham, or in other words, there were very few owls. It was good to have two of the more than 100 owls go in.
This group of priests had a special way to sense the situation in the dream. They thought that there was something wrong with their spells, so they adjusted their positions, chanted the spells again, and even moved the cat cages on the ground and marked them again, but none of them worked.
They had prepared this plan for a long time just to get the Dream of Thousand Cats. In their opinion, this plan could not fail, and the efforts made before must not be in vain.
Moreover, it was only a few cats who resisted their rule, not the owner of the Dream of Thousand Cats, or any other more powerful gods or demons. If we can't beat others, can we beat a few cats?
They thought. Even if a few of the 100 owls can get in, it only takes dozens of owls to deal with a few cats, so it's nothing for thousands of owls to smash in. They have been operating in the metropolis for so long and have accumulated a lot of energy. Thousands of owls are nothing to them.
At the beginning, the battle in Gotham was not fierce. The main combatants were local cat residents such as real Batcat, Banecat, Crocodilecat, and the clown cat played by Schiller. The white cat and Clarke cat transformed by Schiller did not move.
This made the owl priests misjudge the combat effectiveness of the Cat City rebels. When they found that the dozens of owls they put in could not deal with this group of cats, they had sunk costs.
Only two or three of the 100 owls can go in. If dozens of owls are put in, thousands of owls will be needed. After thousands of owls were paid, the battle situation did not improve. Therefore, the dark owl priests planned to invest a large wave of forces at one time to start a decisive battle and instantly destroy the enemy's living forces.
"One Step to Become an Immortal"
In the past, this tactic was useful, because there were only a few cats on the opposite side. Even if the other residents of the cat city dared to resist, they could not form combat power. So, they gritted their teeth and took out tens of thousands of owls at one time, so there were hundreds of owls thrown into the cat city at one time.
For the cat city Gotham, these hundreds of owls already have more energy than the previous giant owl, but the battle has just begun, because Clark the cat has been thrown into the battlefield.
Even if Superman restrains his power, he is not something that ordinary small fish and shrimp can shake. What's more, before entering, Clark was so angry because of the miserable situation of the cats that he swooped down directly, rushed to the feet of the giant owl, grabbed its claws, and carried him into the air.
Then, the owl became the blade of a three-speed rotating electric fan. First, it was dizzy and then thrown out. Then, it received a set of cat uppercuts in the sky. After Clark Cat accumulated a big move, he directly threw it on the earth. With a "bang", the owl disappeared without a trace.
The huge owl scattered into several small owls. Looking at the sacrifices in the real world, this is not possible at all. They have already paid such a big price. If they try to escape, they will suffer a big loss. The only way is to increase their investment and win the Dream of a Thousand Cats. , it is possible to cure this perverted cat.
They began to use the dark statues to output energy with all their strength. In an instant, the number of owls in the dream increased to thousands. All the residents of Cat City were mobilized to resist this darkness together, and the war situation began to become anxious.
After persisting for a long time, the dark owl priest also realized that most of the owls that disappeared inexplicably were not coincidences, but traps.
At first, they were just afraid that their arrangements in the dream would be ruined, and they were too anxious, so they lacked thinking. But when they reacted, they immediately planned to cut off the energy input, and then thoroughly check what was wrong with these cats. .
So far, the losses are acceptable. It sounds like tens of thousands of owls are a lot, but after all, they are not big, and the energy lost is only that much. If we stop the loss in time, it will only take about a month to lose the energy. You can make it up.
But Constantine and Hal, who had been waiting below this room for a long time, would not give them this chance.
The fundamental purpose of Constantine hiding under the room and arranging the magic circle on the floor of the room was not to care about the hundreds or thousands of owls. To him, they were just mosquito legs. This was the reward for working in Gotham. Dozens or hundreds of times.
His fundamental purpose is to observe how this sacrificial ceremony works? As the saying goes, teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish. Constantine planned to figure out the principle of this sacrificial ceremony, and then directly extract the energy from the statue.
Just when the owl priest was about to stop, Constantine was sure that he had figured out the principle of extracting and storing this energy, so he called Hal directly and broke out of the ground.
When Constantine arrived, demon flames filled the sky and fell to the ground. Obviously, just in the past period, another old friend of his had suffered great misfortune, but he had to admit that this was indeed handsome.
When the windbreaker fell, the flames rose up. Constantine waved his hands that were shining with magic, and the ground magic circle floated up. Several energy channels were like vines blown by the wind, dancing in the air into the shape of ropes, heading towards The dark owl priest attacked.
With so much energy behind them, the Dark Owl Priests were naturally not afraid at all. They formed a formation, held their staffs high, and chanted dark spells in low tones, and their robes moved automatically without wind.
Then he was beaten into a dog by Hal, the equally energetic Green Lantern, and Clark, who woke up later.
To be honest, it is their supreme honor to have the two big daddies of Ion Man Hal and Superman Clark serving their group of villains. Coupled with the fact that Constantine just sacrificed his old friend, this combination is a perfect match for the Apocalypse. After wandering around for a while, Uncle Da had to call for good tea.
Unsurprisingly, these priests died on the spot. Superman does not kill people. However, after these priests took off their robes, they no longer looked very human. Even the owls were not happy to say that they were owls.
Their faces grew feathers, and their eyes and beaks were very similar to those of owls, but when it came to their necks, they turned into human bodies, and when it came to their hands, they turned into owl talons, and the same goes for their legs.
Although the structure of the other parts of the torso is that of a human body, many places have been corroded and rotted by dark energy. Obviously, they use their own bodies to purify this dark energy.
They are not the natural gods in Asgard who can successfully digest energy like pebbles. The result of swallowing too many pebbles is to stretch themselves out and look like neither humans nor ghosts.
Constantine picked up their staffs, one with each staff, and was beating them to death one by one. Clark, who was still angry, didn't even notice, and was busy opening the cages to rescue the cats who were not dead.
As for Schiller, who had just returned from the dream world, the first thing he did was to quickly stop Don Standing, who was about to commit the murder. He stretched out a hand and said, "Stop! Leave a line in your life, so that you can be better in the future..."
Constantine, who was holding the staff, stood up, slammed the staff on the ground, and said, "Where are you going to lock them up? How are you going to make them obedient and help you get this energy?"
Schiller hurriedly stepped forward to cover Constantine's mouth. As soon as Constantine said this, both Hal and Clark looked at Schiller. Obviously, this operation was somewhat appalling.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, I didn't mean to do this!" Schiller immediately denied it. Hal snorted coldly. When he didn't hear it, Clark looked down at the miserable cats, took a deep breath, and convinced himself Excessive exertion leads to tinnitus and nothing is heard.
Constantine smiled, waved his staff vigorously, and with a bang, knocked the struggling dark owl priest next to him to death, and said: "You look down on me too much. After observing me for so long, I've figured out what's going on."
"They are indeed praying for energy from a mysterious existence, but to purify this energy, it is their bodies and souls that are consumed, which means..."
Schiller and Constantine lowered their heads together and looked at the corpses of the dark owl sacrifices there. Schiller continued: "...They are just consumables. There are still owls lurking in the deeper darkness."
Constantine took a deep breath, looked at Schiller and said: "Among the enemies I have dealt with, few are as cunning as them. Are you sure you want to go to war with them?"
Schiller raised his head, looked at the huge owl statue, and said: "You know what? What I am most afraid of is this kind of enemy with multiple forms."
"Because there are as many enemies as there are me."
