The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 909 Intruder

"Echo? What echo?"

Dick knew that the words Zatanna said were different from what he understood. It was obvious that what she said was magical jargon.

"Emm..." Zatanna said after thinking for a moment.

"It's a kind of magic. Simply put, it uses magic to create a projection of yourself. It has many names in our industry, but we in the Zatara family like to call it 'echo'. It's a relatively advanced magic."

"Depending on the caster's magical proficiency, the clones created vary. For an average magician, creating an immobile projection is quite impressive, but with Mr. Kent's proficiency, the clone's intelligence is undoubtedly quite high."

While explaining, Zatanna led everyone along the carpet towards the interior of the Tower of Destiny. Wally suddenly discovered something: the tower did not look that big from the outside.

Wally had observed this cylindrical ancient tower when he was outside. It was estimated that less than ten people could hug it hand in hand. It was smaller than a small lighthouse and at most the size of a watchtower.

However, you have to know that Robin and Zatanna did not stop walking when they were chatting just now. These five minutes or so are enough for a normal person to walk up and down the first floor of the tower five or six times.

But since entering the Tower of Destiny, they have been walking in a straight line. Not to mention the end, they didn't even see the stairs leading to the second floor.

"How weird." Zatanna muttered. It turned out that Wally was not the only one who felt weird.

"Logically speaking, after we entered the Tower of Destiny, whether to defend against the enemy or to welcome guests, Mr. Kent's echo should have appeared. It's been five minutes, and there's still no movement."

"Isn't this a common situation?"

This time it was Hobbit who asked the question. He was also very curious about the knowledge he didn't know, and maybe he could find information about Mr. Kent based on this clue.

"Not often." Zatanna shook her head. "Generally speaking, there are only three situations in which this happens."

"First, the caster hasn't maintained the projection for a long time, causing errors in the magic."

"Secondly, the item bound to the projection was damaged, rendering all the magic bound to it ineffective."

"Third, the projection is doing something according to a pre-set program, which makes it unable to get away."

Robin pressed the issue, "Based on your experience, which one is more likely?"

"Let me think about it." Zatanna rested her chin on her right hand and pondered for a while before beginning to speculate.

"Let's start with the first scenario. Mr. Kent has been gone for less than three days, or 72 hours. Normally, magic of this level wouldn't lose its effect in such a short time, so let's rule that out for now."

As Zatanna spoke, she stretched out her left index finger and drew in the air. The next second, a purple energy lit up on her finger, and Zatanna actually started writing in the air.

"The second possibility is also unlikely. After all, Mr. Kent's projection is bound to the Tower of Destiny. This building is not comparable to ordinary magic props. Even the Lord of the Fallen cannot easily destroy it. Moreover, we are now in the tower. If the tower is really broken, we would have been in trouble long ago."

Zatanna raised her head, her eyes determined as she spoke. "In my opinion, the third possibility is more likely. The projection is clearly preoccupied with something, so she has no time to worry about us." "Based on the above, I speculate that there may be a powerful external enemy inside or outside the tower."

"What a brilliant deduction."

Just as Zatanna finished speaking, a shrill boy's voice suddenly entered everyone's ears. The children turned around and found that three people had appeared behind them at some point.

These three people are not strangers. Even the more lively Wally can call out all their names. Yes, they are the three witch children.

"Mr. Kent!" Zatanna saw the old man in shackles at first sight, and then noticed the wizard boy Korra and the future wizard Abra standing on both sides.

"It seems that all the answers are right in front of us." Robin quickly pulled out three bat darts, and a drop of cold sweat quietly slid down his forehead.

As the famous little encyclopedia in the team, if even Wally can call out each other's names, then how could Robin not know the detailed information of these two people?

What's more, there is a very scary enemy named Wu Tong.

As mentioned before, the reason why Doctor Fate is so powerful is that behind him stands the Lord of Order, God Nabu, who represents the order of the universe.

The powerful god Nabu represents order, so where there is order in the vast universe there will be chaos, and Wu Tong is the representative of the Lord of Chaos, and his strength is comparable to that of the god Nabu.

Wu Tong was an opponent that even the Justice League had to mobilize a large number of forces to deal with. Now it was no longer a question of whether it was difficult or not for them to deal with him.

Oh, there is also Abra. There is nothing special about him. He is just a time and space stowaway who sneaked from the future to the modern era. Although he often calls himself a magician, he actually doesn't understand magic at all.

Abra's magic all comes from the high-tech equipment he brought back from the future. In short, he is the kind of charlatan that Wally mentioned.

Of course, Robin was not just talking to himself about the above information. He transmitted the information to all members of the team through the harpy's mind connection, so that they could have a simple understanding of the enemy in front of them and not be completely clueless when dealing with them.

Others may not know, but this is very friendly to Hobbit. After all, there are too many parallel universes in the American comic world, and the same character in different universes has different settings. If he uses his own understanding to deal with these people, he is likely to suffer losses.

For example, Abra, in the comics he did not know magic at first, but later Abra sold his soul in the DC event "Unleashed" and exchanged it for real magic from the devil.

This exchange allowed Abra to leap from a second- or third-rate villain to a first-rate villain who could dominate major events. You can even find him in many major events.

For example, you can see his shadow in major events such as "Underworld" and "Lightning".

And Abra has another characteristic, that is, just like the Joker is obsessed with playing games with Batman, Abra also has his own obsession, and that person is the Flash.

Abra's obsession is not with the second-generation Flash Barry Allen, but with the third-generation Flash Wally West.
