Chapter 2254: Late Autumn in Jincheng (Forty-four)
Both Loki and Thalia felt the ground shaking, Thalia's back pressed tightly against the wall to steady herself, while Loki let out a muffled cry of pain as his wounds were shaken.
"Uh……"
"Are you OK?"
As soon as Talia asked this question, she heard a loud bang and something at the end of the corridor collapsed. Talia immediately rushed to the railing and looked over there, only to see a thick vine stretching out from the ground, poking a hole in the ceiling above the cellar.
"We can go out now," Talia said.
"It's dangerous outside." His 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. The lock of this cellar is the most common big padlock. Talia straightened the wire of the earring and reached in, and found that as long as she could hook the lock core, she could pry it open.
But this would take some time, so Talia said to Loki, "If anything falls out, help me block it. I have to pry the lock open."
Talia started to get busy. Because she was so focused, she didn't see the flash of magic in Loki's eyes. At this time, a space crack opened somewhere.
Above the cellar, the guests showed off their magical powers and dodged the vines that sprang out from the ground in their own way. Some flew directly up, while others leaped into the air and stepped on the surface of the thick vines.
At this time, the Parliament of Trees also revealed its true form, and the shadows of countless towering trees appeared above Gotham.
The tourists who were still partying in the bar in the middle of the night all screamed and rushed to the streets. Those who had mobile phones and cameras took out to take pictures, and those who didn’t have any called their friends who were still in the hotel and asked them to come over to see the big light show.
Yes, it looks 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 lights is indeed advanced, and the projections they create are almost as good as the true form of the Tree Council revealed at this moment, so many people mistakenly believe that this is just another large-scale light show.
Gordon, Roy and Falcone were also confirming with each other. They were not sure whether it was a performance put on by the other party. After confirming with each other, they found that this was not a light show, but a prelude to the outbreak of a superpower war.
Out of consideration for the safety of tourists, Gordon immediately began to evacuate the crowd, but this was the worst decision he had ever made, because the people of Gotham knew very well that there would be nothing worthwhile to watch before the authorities organized the evacuation.
On the other hand, could the fun of James Gordon preparing to evacuate be reduced? Originally, only tourists liked to go to the light show to join in the fun, but when they heard that this was not a light show but a real fight, the people of Gotham became interested.
When tourists gather together, at most they will just be crowded and affect traffic, but when Gotham residents gather together, it will be like Curse of the Golden Flower.
In just over ten minutes, the city lit up, the lights in the windows lit up one after another, and soon this bustling city became brilliantly lit.
Countless superheroes rushed towards the towering trees in the air under the illumination of lights. The shadows of the vines were like ghost claws under the night sky, and they seemed to be beating drums when they landed, blending with roars, screams and cheers, becoming the best prelude to the music festival.
As the fight went on, the Tree Council felt that something was wrong. He always felt that he was powerless. It was not that this would lead to his complete defeat, but he just felt uncomfortable somewhere.
At first he thought it was because Gotham had almost no plant power. There were too few green elements in the city. There were not many plants from the ground to the underground, and the elemental power he could absorb was also very small, so he felt a little weak.
However, this feeling of weakness became more and more obvious, and the Tree Council immediately felt that something was wrong. Alarm bells rang in his heart, and countless small consciousnesses within the collective consciousness were roaring and growling.
"No, no, stop, we are affected."
"Stop, something is very wrong, this might be a trap, I feel like I'm being affected by something!"
"No, it has nothing to do with the guys in front of us. Look for them quickly, look for them quickly, this is very dangerous!!!"
In the end, all the plants began to roar in pain, and the vines danced in the air like crazy. The Council of Trees 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 reached its climax. 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 their way a few times. What on earth was the other party trying to escape from?
Could this guy be here to scam me?
Everyone stopped bewildered. Logically speaking, a guy this big shouldn't be so vulnerable. Why was he screaming before he even got hit? ? ?
But as the pain grew stronger, more giant vines appeared in the air, almost covering half of Gotham's sky.
Schiller, who was stitching up Pamela's wound, sighed softly and said, "Don't move. You don't want to hear the price of another consultation."
Pamela was lying on the ground in despair, and Batman was even more despairing than her because he was still not wearing pants, and there were about 150 superheroes around him - now the whole world knew what was inside the bat suit.
The most outrageous thing is that Batman can now feel more than 120 hot eyes on his ass, and there are only 67 ladies on the scene.
The most outrageous thing is that Gotham's main reporter, who is eager to get news at the cost of his life, has already arrived at the scene. If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow about 30 million more people will know what the inside of the bat costume looks like, and the day after tomorrow that number will be about 300 million.
Batman couldn't even imagine 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.
"Something's wrong with him." A shout was heard, and everyone looked in this direction and saw Bruce Wayne jumping down the vines.
Today Bruce wore the protective suit that Superman, Diana and Green Lantern had jointly made for him, so he had a certain ability to fight in the air and was not afraid of falling. He nimbly jumped down layer after layer of vines and came to the ground. Looking down from above, the ground was now pitch black, blocked by the giant vines.
Clark followed Bruce closely, as if he was afraid that he would get hurt, but his movements were not so agile. It could not be said that he was avoiding obstacles flexibly, but only that he was rushing forward recklessly.
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 one after another.
This is definitely not a light and shadow effect, because this thing is so dense that it begins to swallow up the light.
"This makes me feel bad." Clark frowned tightly. He rarely showed such a serious expression. He said: "Everything has the heat of the sun, but not here. It swallowed the sun."
When Strange and Constantine, the two masters of the mysticism, saw this situation, they knew it was their turn to appear. They jumped down from the left and right, stood in the place without black lines, and stared at it cautiously.
"This is very wrong," Constantine said. "This thing is not formed naturally. It is almost like a law."
Strange's eyes penetrated the soil sharply. He was very familiar with the methods used by these devil-like guys to cause trouble.
"Underground," Strange said. "Someone poured this power into the ground, and as the big green guy drew his energy from the soil, he was poisoned.
After these words were spoken, everyone stopped standing there stupidly and began to dig down using their respective abilities. They didn't dig very deep before they found traces of the existence of a building.
Batman had come over at this time. He and Bruce walked over to take a look at the familiar blue wall with patterns carved on it. He sighed and said, "These nocturnal bird lovers are really everywhere."
Constantine's expression gradually became serious. He said, "This dark force 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 we are in big trouble."
In any case, everyone had to open the building first. Stark finally let go of Pepper's hand. In fact, he didn't participate in the battle at all. He stayed in the lounge with Pepper.
His arm armor was fully armed, and two small drones carrying blasting tools flew out. Since they were miniature bombs, the power of the explosion was much greater than everyone imagined, and almost everyone nearby was blown to dust.
Fortunately, this mysterious building was opened. Batman chose to jump down, followed by Clark and Diana. On the Marvel side, Captain America and Natasha also chose to go down, and the rest of the people stayed above. After all, the Tree Council was still going crazy, and they needed to limit its range of activities to avoid hurting the surrounding residents.
After coming down, Batman was familiar with the route. After all, when Sky Island Gotham flew into the sky, he directly opened the roof of the Owl's underground maze.
Batman has studied the structure of the maze several times, and came to the conclusion that the architectural level of this thing is shit, and the only reason it can produce confusing effects is purely due to the metaphysical factors contained in it.
However, since Batman didn't know much about the occult, he didn't delve into it any further, but Constantine spoke at this time.
"This is a maze, but it's not essentially a maze like other mazes that trap people with walls, or he built it in the shape of a maze to make people feel that way."
"But in fact, this is a cage. There is no exit at all. The way to trap people is to take advantage of the ubiquitous darkness here."
Constantine pointed to the darkness at the end and said, "You think it is just an optical phenomenon in physical form. Where there is light, there is shadow, but it is not true. This kind of darkness is the darkness we are familiar with, but it is not."
"What do you mean?" Diana asked.
"The darkness we commonly see is diluted by this thing. If I must give it a name, I would call it the source of darkness. Although it looks the same as the darkness we commonly see with the naked eye, it is actually a law-based force that is controlled by humans."
Batman frowned deeply. He could imagine that with his level of knowledge of mysticism, it would be difficult for him to understand this symbolic expression with philosophical implications. If he were to be trapped in 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, and then you 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.
