Chapter 600

"I know you feel very confused." When Alfred the cat spoke, Batman felt his heart tighten; he had never heard his butler use such an aged and weak voice.

Immediately after, a trace of anger began to rise in Batman's heart, but he took a few deep breaths, suppressed this feeling of anger, and began to listen intently to the story Alfred was telling about the past.

"This is a cat city, and the residents are all cats, but what they don't know is that there is still another story here: the birds of Cat Getan did not all go extinct like they did in other parts of this world."

"After the cat race flourished, other races retreated one after another to other remote places in the world and then gradually went extinct, but only the birds in Cat Getan survived with the help of the special dark power here."

"They have been lurking in the underground of Cat Getan, plotting for a chance to counterattack the surface, until they found an opportunity to kill the Bat-Cat's parents, and immediately after, they also killed the Godfather Cat who had been ruling this city, as well as the most prestigious Priest Cat."

"I knew their target would be the Bat-Cat, so I secretly sent him away, and in the end, when they invaded the manor, I was imprisoned by them, but I knew that one day, the Bat-Cat would return."

Just after Alfred the cat finished saying these words, Batman suddenly felt that the moonlight had become dim; rain clouds blocked the moon, thunder roared in the distance, and suddenly, a heavy downpour began.

Only then did Batman realize that since he arrived in this city, it had not rained here once.

And when the rain fell, the Bat-Cat saw that the bright green color on the body of the green cat opposite him began to fade gradually; the dye was washed away by the rain, falling to the ground, revealing his original fur color, which was black—the same black as Batman's.

"In order to disguise my identity and accumulate strength, I have been active in the sewers of Cat Getan, and I dyed my fur extremely bright to cover up the black."

"To ensure the dye wouldn't wash off while I was active, I built a weather controller so that Cat Getan would no longer rain." The Joker Cat, or rather the real Bat-Cat, stood soaking wet in the rain; he was very thin, but his eyes were still bright.

Batman was stunned for a moment, then he looked down and said, "So, that rock party you threw back then..."

"Was just to cover up the sound of the weather controller," the real Bat-Cat replied.

Batman remembered that he had indeed heard a slightly different sound amidst the chaotic and noisy rock music at the time; he had even paused to listen closely, but unfortunately, the sound information captured by a feline's keen hearing did not match the common sense in his brain, so he only heard some noise and could not distinguish what it actually was.

Everything connected; in this world, the Bat-Cat's parents were killed by the owls lurking here, and the owls also killed the Godfather Cat and the Priest Cat, and imprisoned Alfred the cat.

The Bat-Cat, hidden away by Alfred the cat, was still young and lacked power; he could only hide until this group of owls changed their method of ruling Cat Getan, and only then did the Bat-Cat, disguised as the Joker Cat, finally begin to show himself.

Even without this group of outsiders, his final battle with the Court of Owls would have come, because as the Court of Owls continued to deepen their control over the city in this way, he would have nowhere left to hide, and the final battle was about to begin.

However, this group of outsiders provided the Bat-Cat with more opportunities, so when the Bat-Cat, disguised as the Joker Cat, first met Batman, he used that Joker-like crazy talk to subtly hint to Batman about the strangeness of this city, and took advantage of the chaos caused by these outsiders to attract the fake, going to rescue his butler, Alfred the cat.

It must be said that the plan of the Bat-Cat disguised as the Joker Cat coincided with Schiller's plan; the focus of both their plans was to utilize Batman.

Batman sighed and said, "Since that's the case, we have already dealt with this owl, then..."

Suddenly, Constantine let out a low growl, his eyes instantly lit up with the glow of magic, and a magic shield enveloped all the cats; just the moment the shield formed, an extremely surging dark power erupted from underground.

"This is far from over," the soaking wet Bat-Cat said. "There isn't just one owl; they have a group. They control the darkness beneath Cat Getan. Now that their plan is exposed, what we have to face is the attack of this group of dark owls."

As soon as he finished speaking, that dark power condensed into a giant owl; when its sharp claws struck the shield, Constantine's fur stood on end, and he let out a sharp cry.

"Hurry and leave here! My shield won't last long; I don't have that much power!" Constantine said through gritted teeth. "No wonder that useless magic circle lit up when I summoned demons before; that was them acting!"

"This power is exactly the same as the power that condensed into that demon cat before! The strange smell I smelled at that time was the smell of bird droppings!... Damn it, I can't summon demons; I can't block it for long with my own power!"

At this time, Clark, floating in mid-air, was directly grabbed by the dark power that had condensed into a solid form; he tried to break free, but that dark power kept invading his body, making him weak.

Superman's physical attack power is very high, but his magic resistance is not that high; however, he wouldn't be completely controlled by the dark owl, and just as he was about to break free, a surging black wave erupted, attacking his companions.

But the Bat-Cat did not have any expression of fear; he turned his head to look at Batman and said, "Find a way to stall him for a while."

"Where are you going?"

The Bat-Cat walked to the edge of the building in a few steps, looked back at Batman, and said, "Remember what I said? I'm going to give them a surprise rock party."

Just as Constantine was struggling to support the magic shield, he suddenly keenly captured the tremor of the ground; Batman ventured to jump out of the shield, stood at the edge of the building and looked down, and then he saw that the ground of the roundabout in the center of Cat Getan City suddenly split open, and a huge stage rose up.

Mechanical arms, no less impressive than the giant robot created by the fake Bat-Cat earlier, rose up, and countless musical instruments, unimaginably large for cats, were in position: microphones, bass, guitars, drum kits, keyboards...

Each instrument was as big as a building; countless mechanical light strips gradually lit up, circular mechanical arm control rooms flew above the instruments, and the light pillars of the spotlights at the edge of the stage shot straight into the clouds, lighting up the entire city.

The Bat-Cat stood in the lead singer's position in the middle; he shouted into the microphone, "Come on, join me! This is the first time the Bat-Cat has attended a party!"

Constantine's shield could no longer hold, and after it shattered, several cats fled in all directions.

Constantine was the first to jump over there; he said, "You were careless! Bat-Cat! You didn't notice at all what an excellent bass player is here! If any rock music festival didn't invite me, then their organizers should jump into the sea to feed the sharks!"

As he spoke, he took two steps in one, jumped along the drum kit platform into the mechanical arm control room, and manipulated two mechanical arms to pick up the huge bass. With a "Zheng" sound, the huge tremolo emitted by the electronic instrument made all the cats unable to help but lie on the ground, pulling their ears back.

And that giant owl made of black energy had its feathers explode instantly; Batman jumped to the side of the drum kit, his figure nimbly darting into the control room floating above the stool, and he said, "So, that's what you meant when you said the loud music would be their weakness."

The rain grew heavier and heavier; even without playing, the raindrops hitting those metal instruments made an annoying tremor. Clark arrived at the control room next to the giant guitar; he rubbed his paws and said, "Thanks to my multi-talented father, I hope I still remember the fingering he taught me."

"Hurry up! Only the keyboardist is left!" Constantine was more excited than the Bat-Cat; he said, "Come on, baby, music is my eternal lover; let's embrace psychedelic rock together!"

Finally, a figure that appeared incomparably bright in the dark, rainy night jumped over, climbed along the rack to the side of the keyboard, and darted into the circular control room; Gordon the cat pressed the button.

"Da! Da-da! Da! Da!" After the rhythmic tapping sound rang out, the "Boom-cha-cha" drum kit rhythm followed closely, the bass and guitar sounded at the same time, and the compact tremor cut through the sky.

This huge stage that occupied the entire city center of Cat Getan, after rising from the ground, had its stage backdrop happen to prop up Schiller's Tower of Thought, so various instruments played around the tower, and mechanical arms danced in the rain.

Those brightly colored vehicles, flying saucers, and neon-like billboards all became the audience for this concert.

Aiyue Book Fragrance

I don't know when, I don't know who sang the first line of lyrics:

"We were born for freedom—long live the cats!"

"Flick the cans onto the floor, smash the plates and tableware, scratch up the sofa and the carpet—are you angry?!"

"Hey! How about some more? Grab the gun! Pull the trigger! Long live the cats!"

"We were born for freedom! This is the cat, oh! Long live!"

Accompanied by the intense music, that dark owl began to go crazy; an owl's hearing is keener than a cat's, and with such intense music ringing out nearby, it could hardly control its power.

And when those dark powers swept across the city, they not only broke the buildings but also broke the locks of those steel cages; the cats rushed out of the cages, came to the balconies, and came to the streets. Although the huge music made them dizzy, they were still dancing along with the rhythm.

I don't know which cat started singing along, and the singing spread among the cats.

"Hey, we were born for freedom, this is the cat, long live the cats!"

"Mess up the yarn! Eat the snacks! Destroy everything that can be destroyed, we were born for fun! This is the cat! Long live the cats!"

"Oh! Oh! Hey! Are you angry?"

Constantine held his cat paw high, extended one claw pointing to the sky, and kept shaking his head; all the cats shook their heads along with the rhythm, the singing resounded throughout Cat Getan, the rhythm became faster and faster, the drum beats became stronger and stronger, the floating flying saucers began to rotate around the stage, and the traffic returned to prosperity.

This chaotic and confused scene revealed a trace of cuteness in the cat city; Cat Getan's chaos and the cat's freedom combined to complement each other.

Finally, the dark owl that could no longer endure it let out a scream; its body grew bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, until the shadow once again shrouded the stage.

Obviously, it didn't intend to keep the results of its construction anymore, but wanted to kill all these annoying cats.

The music reached a low point, and the cats in the revelry all looked up at the sky; Cat Getan's night rain fell on them, making every cat soaking wet, but once the crazy flame unique to Cat Getan was ignited, it could never be extinguished.

All the cats arched their bodies and extended their claws, but just at the moment when the massive darkness descended, a voice rang out from the tower behind the stage:

"Too noisy!"

Instantly, the rain clouds dispersed, the sky returned to brightness, and the darkness disappeared without a trace.
