Chapter 119: A Great Performance, but a Bit Useless

"Thank you all so much for coming, I'm a stage magician."

Zatanna stood on the stage, facing the audience with a smile and said.

"Tonight, I will not only be a performer, but also a guide for your dreams to come true. As long as you keep a curious and open heart, miracles will happen between us."

As she spoke, she bowed slightly to everyone and took off her hat.

"Wow!"

The moment the hat was taken off, countless pigeons flew out.

Amidst the applause of the audience, Zatanna picked up the hat and said, "Thank you very much for your applause. Next, I will make a rabbit for everyone in the hat."

As she spoke, she sat down on a chair and put her fingers into her hat.

Clark and Azu in the audience watched Zatanna's movements with rapt attention, wanting to see exactly how the other party did it.

Zatanna on the stage, silently chanting "The Rabbit Reveals the Lined Hat".

As she recited the ironic magic spell, a white rabbit quietly appeared in the hat.

Zatanna grabbed the rabbit's ears and pulled the rabbit out of the hat.

As a result, when she looked at the rabbit in her hand, she was stunned for a moment.

What he was holding in his hand was actually a rabbit with bleeding from all its orifices!

The rabbit's eyes were wide open, as if he had suffered great pain before death, and blood dripped down his hind legs and fell on the stage.

"Oh me.!"

Zatanna looked at the dead rabbit in her hand in shock, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.

She didn't know what happened to her magic.

The audience in the audience thought this was a performance effect, and they all applauded enthusiastically. The applause was also mixed with some whistles to stir up the atmosphere.

The startled Zatanna lowered her head and looked into the hat, and what she saw was a purple and dangerous magical energy condensing inside.

"No!!"

As she screamed in horror, black, sticky tentacles with sarcoma on the surface gushed out from the hat.

The densely packed tentacles were like a tide, waving in all directions.

The audience in the audience thought that this was also part of the stage performance. Looking at the extremely grand "magic show" in front of them, the applause became even more enthusiastic.

They can guarantee that they have never seen magic with such a strong visual impact.

Zatanna, who was brought back to her senses by the applause and cheers, shouted to the crowd in the audience: "This is not part of the performance, get out of here!"

Before the audience could react, a thick tentacle grabbed a male audience member and pulled him towards the stage.

"Boom" sound.

The unlucky guy who was caught hit the stage hard.

He groaned, and his body was instantly wrapped by more and more tentacles.

The sudden change made the audience stunned for a few seconds.

At this moment, everyone realized that the tentacles in front of them were not some magic show.

As a piercing scream came from the crowd, everyone at the scene immediately left their seats and fled around.

The originally peaceful auditorium suddenly became chaotic.

Frightened screams and shouts kept echoing in the auditorium.

When Peter saw the tentacles dragging people onto the stage, he immediately stood up and his expression became serious.

Azu looked at the tentacles waving on the stage in surprise, and asked Peter in disbelief: "Dad, what is that?"

Star-Lord also found it incredible, "What kind of magic is this? Not only can you make a rabbit out of a hat, but also tentacles?"

"This thing is not like an ordinary magic show."

Peter looked at the tentacles waving on the stage, exuding a strange aura.

"Godfather, I think we should help her."

Clark looked towards the stage and said anxiously.

Although he didn't know the girl on the stage, judging from the expression on the girl's face, these tentacles should be uncontrollable.

Peter glanced at the tentacles waving on the stage and said to Azu: "John, take Clark and Star-Lord out of here."

He asked Azu to take Clark and Star-Lord out of here.

Although Clark was a little reluctant, he knew that the godfather must have his own ideas, and finally left the auditorium with Azu.

"Oh my God!"

The unlucky spectators who were entangled by the tentacles grabbed the floor with all their strength, and their fingers covered the wooden stage and drew blood marks.

"No! No!"

He made a sound of pain and struggled hard, but was still pulled towards the magic hat.

Zatanna stared at the terrifying things in front of her in shock, her heart already in chaos.

"Oh my god! I. I don't know what to do!"

She was a little at a loss.

As a minor, she had never encountered such an unexpected situation.

Looking at the chaotic stage, she wanted to do something, but found that her head was a ball of mush and she couldn't think of any method.

At this moment, there was a "boom".

A ball of white energy rushed over from the audience, instantly melting away the tentacles holding the audience.

The unlucky spectators who were saved were thrown to the floor, making a dull "bang" sound, and then passed out directly.

Zatanna looked towards the audience with shocked eyes.

Is this man...?

Peter slowly put his hand down, and after seeing other tentacles on the stage swinging this way, he directly used the power of the gods in his body to condense energy.

"Buzz~!"

Along with the strange buzzing sound of energy, his hands were covered by a wave of energy.

There was a "puff" sound.

After cutting off the incoming tentacle, Peter moved to the stage at lightning speed.

Zatanna looked at Peter in shock.

How could the other party effortlessly cut off these tentacles filled with evil magic?

Regardless of the powerful mysterious figure who suddenly jumped out, Zatanna calmed down.

She took out a lighter, gritted her teeth, and pointed it at the clawing tentacles.

"Come on, you bastard!"

As she chanted the irony magic, the flame of the lighter turned into a fire dragon and swept towards the tentacles.

The tentacles were instantly ignited by the fire dragon.

The smell of roasted meat immediately filled the air.

The next second, a sudden change occurred, and a tentacle burning in the flames drew Zatanna's arm as fast as lightning.

Holding back the severe pain in her body, Zatanna covered her arms and knelt on the ground, gasping for air.

After an unknown amount of time, she saw a pair of leather shoes appearing in front of her.

He raised his head and saw that the powerful mysterious man who had just dealt with the tentacles was standing in front of him.

Peter's thoughts moved slightly, and the power of the gods covered by his hands disappeared into his body.

He glanced down at the somewhat embarrassed magical girl and shook his head in disappointment.

He also expected the other party to perform a magic trick of pretending to cut a person in two and then splice them back together.

"How are you?"

Peter asked her.

During the announcement just now, he heard the other party's name was Zatanna. Although the last name was different, he quickly connected the other party with the great magician in the DC world.

Zatanna was stunned for a moment, looked up at the tentacles that had turned into ashes, then looked at Peter with a calm expression, and slowly stood up from the ground.

"I'm fine, thank you. Thank you."

Zatanna looked at the empty auditorium and let out a sigh of relief.

She wanted to ask Peter how he did it just now, but she thought it would be too presumptuous.

"Your magic show was good. You almost killed an entire theater."

Zatanna's face instantly turned red when she heard Peter's teasing words.

"I'm sorry, I. I don't know what happened, but that wasn't my intention."

She explained to Peter: "I've never done these magic tricks, I mean magic tricks, like this before."

She suspected that someone had tampered with her props, most likely someone close to her.

But there should be no other magicians in the entire circus, and it is impossible for them to know that they are magicians.

"Hmm, both magic and magic are dangerous and difficult to control. It seems that your performance is not mature enough."

After Peter said a few meaningful words, he turned and left.

Zatanna watched Peter's leaving figure and couldn't help but want to ask him his name.

She always felt that the mysterious and powerful gentleman in front of her seemed to have seen all her secrets.

But looking at the mess on the ground and the rebellious audience on the stage who were knocked unconscious by the tentacles, she finally did not call out to Peter, but instead covered her aching arm.

Now that she's in so much trouble, I'm afraid she won't be able to stay in the circus.

The most important thing now is to think about the rest of your life.

Padraic Farm at night.

Star-Lord was not very interested because he had not seen the magic show.

"Honestly, I don't quite understand why tentacles that attack people emerge from the hat."

Star-Lord asked Peter in confusion: "Dad, how did the magician named Zatanna do it?"

"Maybe there was something wrong with her magic."

Peter casually said to Star-Lord: "There are many cases of magicians failing on stage."

"but."

Star-Lord felt that what Peter said was not quite right, "No matter how much you fail, it's impossible to create tentacles, right? Unless..."

Before he finished speaking, Azu next to him added: "Unless she is not a magician, but a female magician, just like the teacher Katie that dad met before."

"Witches are incredible, but they always exist. Maybe she is a witch."

Azu is relatively calm about this kind of thing. After experiencing the "Lucifer" incident and the "Teacher Katie's witch possession incident" some time ago, he has enough ability to accept these things.

Not to mention the witch, even if God appeared in front of him tomorrow, he wouldn't be too surprised.

"dad."

Star-Lord blinked and looked at Peter expectantly, "Can you make tentacles from the hat?"

"No, I can't."

Peter shook his head and said, "I don't think any normal magician can do it."

"well!"

Star-Lord sighed and said with some frustration: "I think this routine is quite cool, and I want to learn from her."
