The Judge and the Owl Priest
Chapter 28 The Judge and the Owl Priest
Sure enough, boys who smile a lot are usually lucky.
Allen wandered around aimlessly and actually found Bruce.
At this moment, Bruce lay weakly beside a spring, looking haggard and worn out, his spirits utterly dejected.
"Bat, you have to pull yourself together."
Allen stepped forward to comfort him, saying, "Come on, try your best. You have to strain when you poop. It's okay if you can't poop, at least you can fart."
Bruce slowly woke up, too weak to lift his eyelids, and said with difficulty, "It's dangerous here, let's go."
"You've rewarded yourself many times these past few days, to the point of being this weak."
Allen looked at him with disdain and advised, "Forced methods will only lead to ruin; you can't force these things."
"..."
Bruce rolled his eyes upward, thinking dejectedly, "I'd rather die a quick death."
"He rolls his eyes after just a couple of words," Allen grumbled. "Bat is such a temperamental kid."
Forehead…
Bruce fainted on the spot, probably wanting to die peacefully.
"Someone call an ambulance! Batman has died from overindulgence in sex."
Allen looked around, and seeing no one respond, he stood up, looked at the spring pool, and said while stroking his chin, "It seems that even drinking Amber Gold couldn't stop the major event from happening."
The next second, Allen's expression gradually blossomed into a bright smile.
"The thought of a female version of Batman drowning and vengeful is quite thrilling."
boom!
At that moment, an armored drilling vehicle broke through the wall.
Through the cockpit window, I could see Tim was driving, accompanied by Stephanie and Damian.
They roughly determined the location using tracking devices, and then brought in armored engineering vehicles to clear the way.
Clearly, the Court of Owls' lair was equipped with signal jamming devices, which made it quite difficult for them to find it.
"It's the Master and Allen!"
Damian and Stephanie opened the car door and helped Bruce up.
While waiting to board the vehicle, Tim immediately turned on the signal booster.
After all, Dick and Jason were nowhere to be seen.
Two moving red dots immediately appeared on the instrument panel, and the armored vehicle was quickly driven to provide support.
Less than fifteen minutes later, they encountered Dick and Jason, who were wandering around like headless flies.
"Evacuate."
The burrowing armored vehicle can break through walls and burrow through roads without needing to follow any routes.
"Being a superhero is really expensive."
Allen rolled down the car window and said to everyone, "I'm leaving first, don't wait for me to eat."
In an instant, Allen vanished into thin air.
The five main characters focused their attention on Bruce, while Allen couldn't control him.
……
In a secluded monitoring room in the Owl Court's lair.
A group of judges wearing owl masks watched as the surveillance footage showed the bat family safely evacuating.
Of course, there was no intention to stop them throughout the process; otherwise, if the Claw Legion had launched a collective attack, not a single person would have been able to escape.
"Now that the first step of the ceremony is complete, we must report our achievements to our great hosts."
Among those present was another group of people, or more precisely, another group of beings.
They were draped in black robes, and their hideous and terrifying faces were vaguely visible, resembling a humanoid race evolved from amphibians.
These are intelligent beings who live hidden deep underground, worshippers of the bat god, and call themselves Owl Priests.
"Leave the rest to us."
The first judge nodded slightly.
The first step is just the beginning; the next step will guide Bruce step by step to complete the predetermined ending.
The reason they didn't kill Bruce was because he was the key to the Dark Multiverse portal; if he died, all their efforts would be wasted, so they let the five young heroes rescue him.
Of course, this is all part of the plan.
"But a variable has emerged; can you control the course of events?"
The variable the Priestess Owl was referring to was Allen, a character never before conceived.
With so many superheroes in the world, it would be wishful thinking for the Court of Owls, which is based in Gotham City, to carry out their plan. Whenever Superman or Wonder Woman gets involved, it leads to different outcomes.
So the higher-level organization, the Council of Owls, has been covering for them, deliberately creating numerous events to keep the superheroes occupied.
The previous incident in Kenya was naturally their doing; they deliberately lured the Justice League away, thus giving Bruce time to drink Amber Gold.
"Are you referring to me as a variable?"
Unbeknownst to them, Allen was already in the monitoring room.
Suddenly, there was complete silence.
Can you play by the rules?
We villains are having a meeting, trying to create some mystery and hype up the plot, and you're just causing trouble?
The judges were dumbfounded.
The priests of the owl-shaped roc were equally bewildered.
"Don't let him escape, kill him immediately."
At a single command, hundreds of Claw Warriors charged forward in droves.
If we let the person go and the secret is leaked, then everything we've done will have been in vain.
"Sword and Blade Killing Formation, activate!"
In an instant, twelve sword shadows unfolded, blooming in all directions.
The sudden special attack caught the foremost Claw Warrior off guard, who watched helplessly as the sword shadow pierced through his body. One second his body was frozen, and the next it was torn into pieces.
"Slip away."
Looking at the hundreds of Claw Warriors still present, Allen decisively declared, "You have no martial ethics and prefer gang fights, huh? I'll call the Justice League and the Avengers to deal with you."
He vanished without a trace, disappearing into the shadows.
At this moment, the Claw Warriors gathered together to protect the Owl Judge and the Owl Priests, preventing them from turning back to launch a sneak attack.
The judges and priests were only flesh and blood, and had no ability to protect themselves.
"Even this didn't fool you."
Allen deactivated his invisibility, but he didn't actually leave. He couldn't help but sigh, "People aren't so easy to fool these days. The world is cold and heartless; people's hearts have changed."
"You've overlooked a crucial point," Allen said seriously. "This Commander Zuo is skilled in more than just wielding a sword."
Having said that, he flicked his cloak, and a dense barrage of darts shot out like a rain of pear blossoms.
Even with a human wall of clawed warriors, darts still managed to hit the judge and priest.
"Ah! My eyes!"
My mouth is injured.
"I'm missing a piece of flesh from my face."
……
The screams were mostly from minor injuries; many lay flat on their backs.
Goodbye, don't bother seeing me out.
This time, Allen disappeared as everyone huddled behind the Claw Warriors, slowly moving towards the door.
The judges, who had initially considered how to deal with this person, now realized that such a plan was not feasible.
This guy's thinking is unconventional; could he really fall into the trap they set?
The answer, much like quantum mechanics, exists in a superposition of jumping and non-jumping states.
It took them two whole hours to activate their emergency plan, move to a secret passage to escape, and even take away any supplies they could carry, resolutely abandoning their hideout base.
Don't try to challenge the bottom line of madmen; they have no bottom line at all.
Or he might be a madman who can turn invisible, perhaps lurking for a whole day and night just to set off firecrackers in the toilet to scare you when you go to the bathroom.
Actually, Allen had already run away and is now reunited with everyone in the Batcave.
