Chapter 2280: Late Autumn in Golden City (Forty-Four)

Loki and Talia both felt the ground shaking. Talia's back was pressed tightly against the corner of the wall to stabilize her body, while Loki let out a low cry of pain because of the shaking of his wound.

"Uh..."

"Are you okay?"

As soon as Talia finished asking this question, she heard a bang and something at the end of the corridor collapsed. Talia immediately rushed to the railing and looked over there. She saw a thick vine stretched out from the ground and poked a hole in the ceiling above the cellar.

"We can go out." Talia said.

"It's dangerous outside." The tone was still angry.

"It's more dangerous to be trapped here." Talia lifted her skirt and walked to the railing to take a look at the lock. This kind of cellar lock is the most common large lock. Talia bent the wire of the earring and probed it in. She found that as long as she could hook the lock core, she could pry it open.

But this will take some time, so Talia said to Loki: "If something falls out, help me block it. I have to pry the lock open."

Talia started to work. Because she was very focused, she did not see the magic light flash in Loki's eyes. At this time, a space crack was opened somewhere.

Above the cellar, the guests showed their magical powers and dodged the vines that sprang out from the ground in their own way. Some flew directly, and some jumped into the air and stepped on the surface of the thick vines.

At this time, the Tree Council also showed its true form, and the phantoms of countless towering trees appeared above Gotham.

The tourists who were still dancing in the bar in the middle of the night all screamed and rushed to the streets. Those with mobile phones and cameras took out their photos, and those without them called their friends who were still in the hotel and asked them to come and see the large light show.

Yes, it looked like a light show, because before this, Roy often held various cool light shows at the central turntable to attract tourists.

The technology of the bat lamp is indeed advanced, and the projection it creates is not much different from the true form of the Tree Council at this time, so many people mistakenly think that this is just another large-scale light show.

Gordon, Roy and Falcone are also confirming with each other. They are not sure whether it is a show made by the other party. After confirming with each other, they find that this is really not a light show, but a prelude to the outbreak of a superpower war.

For the safety of tourists, Gordon immediately began to evacuate the crowd, but this was the most wrong decision he made, because the people of Gotham deeply understood that there was no valuable fun to watch before the official came forward to organize the evacuation.

On the other hand, can the fun that made James Gordon prepare to evacuate be small? Originally, only tourists liked to go to the light show to join in the fun. When they said that this was not a light show, but a real fight, the interest of the people of Gotham came up.

Tourists gathered together at most squeezed together and affected traffic. When the people of Gotham gathered together, it was really a city full of golden armor.

In just over ten minutes, the city lit up, and the lights on the windows lit up one after another, and soon this prosperous city became brightly lit.

Countless superheroes rushed to the towering trees in the air under the light. The shadows of the vines were like ghost claws under the night sky. When they landed, they seemed to be beating drums, blending with roars, screams and cheers, becoming the best prelude to the music festival.

As they fought, the Tree Council felt something was wrong. He always felt that he was a little powerless. It was not that this would make him fall into defeat, but he just felt uncomfortable everywhere.

At first, he thought it was because Gotham had almost no plant power, and there were too few green elements spread out in this city. There were not many plants from the ground to the underground, and he could absorb very little elemental power, so he felt a little weak.

But this feeling of weakness became more and more obvious, and the Tree Council immediately felt something was wrong. The alarm bells in his heart rang loudly, and countless small consciousnesses in the collective consciousness were roaring and roaring.

"No, no, stop, we are affected."

"Stop, something is wrong, this may be a trap, I feel like I am affected by something!"

"No, it has nothing to do with the guys in front of me, look for it, look for it, it is very dangerous!!!"

In the end, all the plants began to roar in pain, and the vines danced in the air like crazy. The Tree Council was in so much pain that they could hardly speak.

The people who were about to attack also found something wrong. To be honest, the battle had not yet entered the white-hot stage. Even Superman and Wonder Woman, who were flying very fast, had just approached the center of the giant tree. At most, they had just hit the vines that blocked the way. What was the other party running away from?

Could this guy be here to make trouble?

Everyone stopped with some doubts. Logically speaking, a guy with such a large body should not be so weak. Why did he scream before being beaten? ? ?

But as the pain became stronger and stronger, more giant vines appeared in the air, almost covering half of Gotham's sky.

Schiller, who was stitching Pamela's wound, sighed softly and said, "Don't move. You don't want to hear the price of another consultation."

Pamela lay on the ground in despair, and Batman was even more desperate than her, because he was still not wearing pants, and there were about 150 superheroes around him - now the whole world knew what the inside of the bat suit looked like.

The most outrageous thing was that Batman could almost feel more than 120 hot eyes on his butt, and there were only 67 women at the scene.

The most outrageous thing was that Gotham's reporters who wanted news at the cost of their lives had already arrived at the scene. If nothing unexpected happened, there would be about 30 million more people who knew what the inside of the bat suit looked like tomorrow, and about 300 million the day after tomorrow.

Batman didn't even dare to think how much tourism revenue this would bring to the city where Batman was standing guard.

"Don't look at me." Schiller looked back at Batman who was staring at him and said, "You don't want to know how much I billed the other Batman for medical expenses."

The situation above Rodriguez Manor became more and more tense. The Tree Council kept screaming, and the heroes looked at each other, not knowing whether to continue fighting or find a way to save him. After all, his screams were really too miserable.

"He's in trouble." A shout came, and everyone looked in this direction and saw Bruce Wayne jumping down along the vines.

Today Bruce wore the protective suit that Superman, Diana and Green Lantern had jointly built for him, so he had a certain ability to fight in the air, and he was not afraid of falling. He jumped down layer after layer of vines flexibly and came to the ground. Looking down from above, the ground, which was blocked by giant vines and all the light, was now dark.

Clark followed Bruce closely, as if he was afraid that he would be injured, but his movements when he came down were not so agile. It can't be said that he was flexibly avoiding obstacles, but it can only be said that he was rushing.

Because of his action, the vines above the small piece of ground where Bruce was were torn apart. When the bright light in the banquet hall shone on the ground, people saw black lines spreading on the ground.

This is definitely not a light and shadow effect, because this thing is so dense that it begins to swallow the light.

"This makes me feel bad." Clark frowned tightly. He rarely showed such a serious expression. He said: "The heat of the sun is preserved in everything, but not here. It swallowed the sun."

When Strange and Constantine, the two masters of mysticism, saw this situation, they knew it was their turn to appear. They jumped down from the left and right, standing in a place without black lines and staring at it cautiously.

"It's very wrong." Constantine said: "This thing is not formed naturally, it is almost close to the law."

Strange's eyes penetrated the soil layer sharply. He was too familiar with the means of these devil-like guys to make trouble.

"Underground." Strange said, "Someone poured this power into the ground, so the green big guy was poisoned when he drew his energy from the soil.

After this, everyone stopped standing there stupidly and started to dig down. They didn't dig very deep before they found traces of the building.

Batman had come over. He and Bruce walked over to take a look at the familiar blue wall with patterns. He sighed and said, "These nocturnal bird lovers are really everywhere."

Constantine's face gradually became serious. He said, "This dark power gives me a very strange feeling. It is not an evil energy, but the darkness that already exists in the universe. If this is true, then it will be a big trouble. "

Anyway, everyone had to open the building first. Stark finally let go of Pepper's hand. In fact, he didn't participate in the battle just now. He stayed in the lounge with Pepper.

His arm armor was armed and formed, and two small drones with blasting tools flew out. Because they were miniature bombs, the power of the explosion was much greater than everyone thought, and almost everyone nearby was blown to dust.

Fortunately, this mysterious building was opened. Batman chose to jump down, followed by Clark and Diana. Captain America and Natasha from Marvel chose to go down, and the rest of the people stayed above. After all, the Tree Council was still crazy, and they needed to limit his range of activities. So as not to hurt the residents around.

After coming down, Batman was familiar with the route. After all, when Sky Island Gotham flew into the sky, he directly opened the top of the owl underground maze.

Batman had studied the structure of the maze several times, and then came to a conclusion that the architectural level of this thing was a piece of shit, and the ability to confuse people was purely due to the metaphysical factors in it.

However, since he didn't know much about mysticism, Batman didn't delve into it further, but Constantine spoke at this time.

"This is a maze, but in essence it is not like other mazes that trap people with walls, or he built it into a maze shape just to make people feel that way."

"But in fact, this is a cage, there is no exit at all, and the way to trap people is to use the ubiquitous darkness here."

Constantine pointed to the darkness at the end and said, "You think it's just an optical phenomenon in physical form. Where there is light, there is shadow, but it's not. This kind of darkness is the darkness we often see, but it's not."

"What do you mean?" Diana asked.

"The darkness we often see is diluted by this thing. If I have to give it a name, I will call it the source of darkness. Although it looks the same as the darkness we often see with the naked eye, it is actually a law force that is controlled by people."

Batman frowned deeply. He could think that with his level of knowledge of mysticism, it would be difficult to understand this symbolic expression with philosophical meaning. If he were to drift into this maze, he would probably think that the wall was the only obstacle.

If you think this is a maze, then you will naturally want to find the exit, which will fall into a trap, because this has never been a maze, but a prison, the purpose of which is to trap people to death here.
