Chapter 611: Owl Is in Trouble Again (Part 2)
Of course, although this opening is like the classic lines of the last time the Gotham owls got into trouble, a clown in this world 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 certain wisdom, but no humanity. This is not a toy that any clown would like. The clown cat Schiller is just a formality.
After this 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 one of his homes 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: "Mulitz...Mulitz..."
From the perspective of the spiritual world, black flames began to burn on the statue, and the branch owl hovered above it, 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 would be good if two of the more than 100 owls could get 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 if thousands of owls 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 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.
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 about the miserable situation of the cats that he dived directly 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 cat uppercut combo in the sky. After Clark Cat accumulated a big move, he directly threw the earth. With a "bang", the owl disappeared without a trace.
The huge owl was scattered into several small owls. The priests in the real world saw that this was not going to work. They had already paid such a huge price. If they wanted to withdraw, they would lose a lot. Only by increasing investment and taking down the Dream of Thousand Cats could they possibly control this abnormal cat.
They began to use the dark statue to output energy at full power. In an instant, the number of owls in the dream increased to thousands. All the residents of the cat city were mobilized to fight against this darkness together, and the battle became tense.
After persisting for a long time, the dark owl priest also reacted. 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 destroyed. They were too anxious and lacked thinking. 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 loss is acceptable. It sounds like thousands or tens of thousands of owls are a lot, but after all, they are not large in size, and the energy lost is just that. If the loss is stopped in time, it will only take about a month to make up for the lost energy.
But Constantine and Hal, who had been waiting under the room for a long time, would not give them this opportunity.
Constantine hid under the room and arranged the magic circle on the ground of the room. The fundamental purpose was not to care about the hundreds or thousands of owls. They were just mosquito legs for him. The reward for working in Gotham was dozens or hundreds of times that.
His fundamental purpose was to observe how this sacrificial ceremony worked. It is said that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Constantine planned to figure out the principle of this sacrificial ceremony and then directly extract the energy from the statue.
At the moment when the owl sacrifice was about to stop, Constantine was sure that he had figured out the principle of how this energy was extracted and stored, so he called Hal directly and broke out of the ground.
When Constantine came, the devil flames fell to the ground. Obviously, in the past period of time, another old friend of his had been in trouble, but it must be admitted that this was indeed very handsome.
As the windbreaker fell, the flames rose up. Constantine waved his hands, shining with magic. The ground magic circle floated up, and several energy channels fluttered in the air like vines blown by the wind, forming ropes and attacking the Dark Owl Priest.
With so much energy on their backs, the Dark Owl Priest was naturally not afraid at all. They formed a formation, raised their staffs, chanted dark spells, and their robes moved without wind.
Then they were beaten to a pulp by Hal the Green Lantern, who also had plenty of energy, and Clark who woke up later.
To be honest, it was their supreme honor to have Hal the Ion and Clark the Superman serve this group of villains. In addition to Constantine who had just sacrificed his old friend, this combination, if they took a walk on Apocalypse, even Uncle Da would have to call them good tea.
As expected, the priests died on the spot. Superman doesn't kill people, but after the priests took off their robes, they no longer looked like humans. Owls wouldn't be happy to say they were owls.
Feathers grew on their faces, and their eyes and mouths were very similar to owls, but at the neck, they became human bodies, and at the hands, they became owl claws, and the same was true for the legs.
Although the rest of the torso was structured like a human body, many parts had been corroded and rotten by the dark energy. Obviously, they used their own bodies to purify this dark energy.
They were not the natural gods of Asgard who could smoothly digest energy like pebbles. The result of swallowing too many pebbles was that they would become neither human nor ghost.
Constantine picked up their staffs, one by one, and was knocking them to death one by one. Clark, who was still angry, pretended not to see anything and was busy opening the cages to rescue the cats that were not dead yet.
Schiller, who had just returned from the dream world, did the first thing to stop Constantine who was about to kill. He stretched out a hand and said, "Stop! Leave a way out for the future..."
Constantine, 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 hurried forward and tried to cover Constantine's mouth. As soon as Constantine said this, Hal and Clark looked at Schiller. Obviously, this operation was a bit horrifying.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, I didn't mean to do this!" Schiller immediately denied it. Hal snorted coldly, pretending not to hear it. Clark looked down at the cats who died miserably, took a deep breath, and convinced himself that he was overexerting himself and had tinnitus, so he didn't hear anything.
Constantine smiled, swung his staff vigorously, and with a "bang", he knocked the struggling Dark Owl Priest to death, saying: "You look down on me too much. After observing for so long, I have figured out what is 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 priests on the ground. 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, there are few who are as cunning as them. Are you sure you want to go to war with them?"
Schiller raised his head and looked at the huge owl statue, saying: "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."
