Chapter 2312: Gotham Music Festival (60)

Barbatos was awakened, not because he discovered that his power had decreased, but because he discovered that he had suddenly gained quite a bit of power.

He was the source of darkness in the universe. All the darkness in the universe was actually him himself, equivalent to a person's hands and feet or other parts of the skin.

Whether it was Bruce stealing electricity through various projects before, or Shiler taking this power and pouring it into Constantine's body to harvest, because the amount of each single unit was very small, a bit like scraping, Barbatos was busy and didn't have time to pay attention.

All these powers were stolen little by little. The amount of a single unit was really too small, a bit like a human losing a piece of dandruff and not being discovered. Barbatos almost felt nothing.

But if all the dandruff that had appeared in this life suddenly grew back on his body, the feeling would be different. Especially since this thing didn't appear on his head, but on his hand, equivalent to letting him grow an extra finger. It would be strange if this wasn't discovered.

Shiler and Bruce released all the electricity they had stolen at once. Barbatos immediately felt the anomaly. What's the situation? Where did this power come from? How come I don't remember investing so much power in this place?

A problem appeared. Barbatos naturally wanted to check it, but the problem was that he couldn't get out. The barrier Michael set for him was still there, and he had no way to leave the source of darkness at all.

But leaving didn't mean he couldn't investigate this matter. Barbatos immediately called his good big son Bruce, asking him to hurry over and check the situation.

Bruce immediately expressed to the other end of the phone that he guaranteed to complete the task. Could he not complete this? He was not only in the same universe as the incident location but had also been waiting on the ship for a long time.

Bruce knew that Barbatos, who was trapped, didn't have the ability to feel so accurately, so he simply played music on the ship for a while until Barbatos called again anxiously. Only then did Bruce say calmly that this was probably a demon's conspiracy.

Could Barbatos not know that there had always been demons from Hell circling his house? Although he didn't know why they were so concerned about himself, this bunch of goat hooves never held back any good farts.

Bruce sent a photo to Barbatos. On it was a pattern. In the complex pattern, runes were everywhere, and some could clearly see goat elements.

Although Barbatos didn't belong to the Heaven and Hell system, he could at least recognize that this was a kind of demon curse. It looked like some kind of beacon. Although it was hard to say what the specific function was, judging from the complexity of the curse and the level of power, it should be a demon prince who made the move.

Barbatos immediately became nervous. He originally didn't know how he had provoked Heaven. He was still squatting in jail, and if he provoked the princes of Hell again, it would be even harder to handle. Who didn't know that they were fighting on the surface but actually wearing the same pair of pants?

Barbatos immediately asked Bruce to stay away from there, but soon Bruce sent back new news: he felt rich dark power here. It looked like these demons stole Barbatos's power and were now using this power for something unknown.

Barbatos was anxious while also being blocked by the barrier, not knowing what was happening outside, and could only rely on Bruce's messages.

After a while, Bruce brought him a shocking piece of bad news—he felt the aura of angels nearby.

Could he not feel it? When Bruce walked back with 140 pairs of wings to play music, Tupac and Christopher both thought he was going to participate in a Victoria's Secret show.

Barbatos could also vaguely feel the surrounding environment through these released powers of his own. He indeed felt the aura of angels, although weak, but authentic.

Barbatos became even more anxious. Angels and demons, I was just a dragon squatting in the source of darkness for tens of thousands of years without going out. Did I commit a heavenly crime?

But Murphy's Law seemed to apply to any creature in the universe. The development of things had no worst, only worse.

After a while, Bruce called again. Lucifer had come.

Lucifer naturally came. It was windy and rainy on the sea, tornadoes raging, lightning roaring. At a glance, it wasn't normal weather. The tourists all ran out to take pictures, and the bar owner had nothing to do, so he followed out to watch the fun.

At first, it was all okay. Watching and watching, it was just Atlanteans fighting again. In his concept of time, Atlantis hadn't fallen for long. He only sighed, "The people of this kingdom really like to fight," and prepared to go back.

As a result, after a while, he found something wrong. How come there was dark power on the seabed?

At this time, Lucifer remembered that Shiler should still be on that gambling ship named Da Xizhou. Although he didn't know why he was seasick but still boarded the ship, this matter definitely had something to do with him.

Lucifer thought about it and decided to go over and take a look. Although he had long discovered that this was Shiler being pitted by someone, the wool he plucked carried a curse, which was why he was seasick, but it was only Atlan's power after all. Besides being uncomfortable, there was no other harm.

But Barbatos's dark power was different. This thing had something to do with Batman. Any power in the universe related to Batman was not very reasonable, and Lucifer couldn't guarantee that the location where such power appeared wouldn't have accidents at all.

If an accident really happened, and Shiler was still seasick, then things would be troublesome. So Lucifer still flew toward Da Xizhou.

After arriving and taking a look, Shiler was fine. Lucifer still wanted to ask what was going on, so he stood on the deck and chatted with Shiler.

Under the ship's cabin, Bruce was saying to Barbatos: "Yes, at least according to my observation, Lucifer is definitely not returning to Heaven sincerely. He didn't win the first war of falling from Heaven, so he couldn't possibly let it go..."

"Yes, I think so too. What if he has a brain cramp and wants to fight a second time? You say if angels and demons fight, which side do we help? It's troublesome to get involved."

"And as far as I know, Lucifer's goal has always been God. Who knows why his father and son... I think we should withdraw first. You should move your power back first. Otherwise, if they really fight, the dark power will be stirred in it, and if discovered by God, you won't be able to wash it off even if you jump into the Yellow River."

"What? You can't withdraw?" Bruce raised his tone and said: "Not all dark power is... well, it's really troublesome that you can't leave the source of darkness."

"In my opinion, the demons who stole your power released your power here, maybe they want to frame you. They want to pull a cushion even if they die. We must move the power away first. Even if we can't move it back to the source of darkness, we must stay away from this battlefield."

Barbatos muttered something.

"I really don't know what I can count on you for." Bruce sighed and said: "Didn't I tell you before, do everything early and make plans early? You squat in the source of darkness every day, besides sleeping, what else can you do? Now it's good, something happened."

"Fortunately, I thought there would be such a day. Your unscrupulous transport of power to the light universe will eventually have a day when it explodes, so I prepared some backup plans."

"What exactly is it? What else could it be? I'll find a way to take these powers through Heaven and send them back to the dark universe... Don't call me recently, annoying."

As soon as Hal and the others landed, they saw the originally crazily raging dark power calm down, but the speed of gathering toward one point didn't decrease. Suddenly, a figure appeared above the dark power.

140 pairs of wings of light unfolded, and endless light permeated the entire sea area, even filling the entire Mariana Trench. Even on the Gotham coastline very far from here, one could see the rising pillars of light.

Countless seawater, golden light, black power, and the three people standing on the side watching the fun were all wrapped in it.

The next second, the intense light flashed, and they found themselves sinking to the bottom of the lake, with a beautiful world emitting faint light overhead. Not far away came the sacred aria.

But this only lasted for a few seconds. The next second, they found themselves immersed in a dead water, everywhere filled with the aura of death. Although the dark power had dissipated, it was better to say that there was dark power everywhere here.

Four figures fell into the sea one after another. The one at the very bottom wasn't Batman, but Atlan, who was still flickering with faint light. Hal, who had withdrawn his power because he lost consciousness, immediately pulled Batman and Clark over with Green Lantern power, vigilantly looking at Atlan, who was gradually waking up.

Atlan was confused after waking up. He looked at the three people opposite, and anger quickly climbed onto his face.

"You bunch of damn land..."

"There are landers! There are landers!!!" A sharp shout came from the bottom of the ocean, interrupting Atlan's roar.

Atlan listened carefully. This was Atlantean language. Although it was different from the language of the era he was in, because the civilization hadn't broken, he could still understand it.

He just wanted to put on the king's airs here and reprimand them in Atlantean, but two steel forks were placed under his armpits, and two exceptionally strong Atlanteans grabbed him.

And Atlan felt incomparably weak. Besides being tossed enough by the dark power before, the seawater here didn't listen to his commands at all. Everywhere here was filled with power elements he couldn't control, violent, heavy, and incomparably dark.

The three people opposite clearly also realized this. Clark and Batman rushed out at a speed that was completely invisible, bringing up water currents that could be called water knives. If it weren't for Hal's Green Lantern energy protective light, the tail flow would have been enough to crush Batman into powder.

Hal and Clark turned their heads together to look at Batman in the middle.

What's the situation? Batman thought, could it be that Clark understood his signal?

Although he had this doubt, Batman didn't express it, just walked up silently to observe the Atlantean warriors, appearing to be in control.

Until Clark walked to his side, Batman asked as if unintentionally: "Did you see me sending a signal to you just now?"

"Actually, no."

Clark's answer made Batman breathe a sigh of relief. ===== CHAPTER 2313 =====

"Damn land-dwellers, you are going to be finished soon! The Queen has already led a great army toward the land, and Batwoman is no match for us either. Long live Atlantis! Long live the sea!"
