Chapter 651 Magic and Death

The results of this night's battle shocked even Batman himself.

He decided that his legend would no longer stop in Gotham, but anywhere, wherever Batman was needed.

He will become the nemesis of all criminals in the world. There will be no more crime alleys, no more murdered parents and lonely children, because with him watching over them, that will not happen.

However, he continued to reflect and summarize, and considered areas where the development and control of his abilities needed improvement.

He dealt with a hidden Apocalypse cult in Ginza, Tokyo, but afterwards realized his mastery of his current superpowers still needed improvement. He didn't have to crush them all; two of them could have died.

He swept through a human trafficking ring in Serbia and witnessed once again the sheer power of his heat vision ability. He also realized how hard Superman usually tries to suppress his power, and that there are no weapons on Earth that can counter it.

The sun caught up with him in Paris. He crouched on the edge of the building, his cloak billowing in the wind, the sunlight gilding his black armor as if adding gold to it.

For a moment, he felt he should go back to Gotham. Go back, get some sleep, and eat something.

But then he quickly realized that he didn't need any of that now. The more he thought about it, the more a conflict he felt he had never experienced before welled up inside him. He felt he couldn't stop now.

No matter when, there will always be half the earth shrouded in darkness, and he will always be needed.

So he made a decision quickly.

Let the sun keep chasing him.

He had to get back to work.

"Clark? Clark?"

Louise's voice brought Clark back to his senses. He shook his head, looked around blankly, and then realized that he was walking down the street, being linked arm-in-arm with his girlfriend.

"Sorry, I think I was a little distracted just now."

"Please, this is a rare opportunity, I'm giving you special permission to concentrate," Louise laughed. "Just this once, no more fire alarms, no cries for help, no Justice League pagers to interrupt us."

A real date, right? How long has it been since we had one like this?

"I don't know. But I guess you're right." Clark sighed, adjusted his glasses, and chuckled. "I guess I just need a little more time to adjust. I wonder how Kara is doing now."

Perhaps we should take her with us. I imagine she must be feeling lost and confused about losing her abilities right now.

"I don't think so."

Louise chuckled softly.

"In my opinion, that girl is much more adaptable than you."

At this very moment, at HISHE Cafe.

"There are people behind us."

"You guys hold back for now, I'll flank and unleash my ultimate."

"He died again! It's all your fault!"

"vegetable!"

"."

Kara, wearing headphones, typed furiously on the keyboard and clicked the mouse at lightning speed. Her actions were as fierce as a tiger's, but her score remained a dismal 0-5.

Finally, she threw her headphones down.

"Ah! Without superpowers, everyone's reactions seem so fast! It's impossible to play at all!"

Shen You glanced at her and said, "If this is your reason for wanting your superpowers back, it seems you don't really need them."

Kara pounced on him and hugged his arm: "When are you going to get my powers back? Without my super brain, I feel like I've become stupid!"

"It's not a big problem," Shen You said calmly. "Anyway, he didn't seem like he could be that strong to begin with."

"That's true. Wait, what do you mean?!"

Kara instantly became furious.

"I'll get angry if you say that! Besides, without a super brain, I can't help you with your research!"

"That's true."

Shen You pondered.

This is a pretty big problem.

"While Stryker can temporarily fill in for you, it's not a long-term solution."

Kara's tuft of hair on her forehead drooped down again. She still couldn't quite accept the idea of ​​a cat filling in for her.

"I've been wanting to ask this for a while now."

At this moment, Sai Shao, who was visiting the house, came out carrying a plate of unknown food, eating as he smacked his lips and said...

"Is this only happening here, or is it happening all over the world? Why does your cat look so powerful?"

Upon hearing this, Strickland, who was conducting scientific research in the back, suddenly leaped up, adjusted the glasses perched on his nose, and appeared somewhat mysterious and powerful under the reflection of the lenses.

"It said don't underestimate it, it's a cat with more than a dozen doctoral degrees now. By the way, where did you get your degrees? Did you award them yourself?" Shen You glanced at Stryker.

Dr. Stryker, hands on hips: "Meow meow meow!"

"Oh, self-taught? That's alright then."

"And this stuff is really delicious." Sai Shao was happily eating the plate of dark, unidentified food. "This is the first time I've ever encountered a world with food like this. Is this one of your local specialties?"

Both of them turned their gazes to the plate of indescribable food in his hand, and fell silent for a moment.

"That...could it be..." Kara hesitated, then stopped herself.

"Oh, it was your family's chef grandpa who insisted on giving it to me. He was so enthusiastic that I couldn't refuse, so I tried it, and it actually tasted pretty good."

Shen You x Kara: "."

Wait, how come there are actually people who like to eat the old wizard's terrible cooking?

At this moment, the old wizard wearing a brightly colored apron also appeared, and stretched out his arm to put his arm around Zero's shoulder in great affection: "I can tell at a glance that you have extraordinary talent, young man. You are one in ten thousand, no, one in a billion."

"Oh, grandpa, you know a lot!" Zero said, indicating that he would love to hear more of this.

"Of course. Because you're the only man so far who has approved of the new product I've developed." The old wizard was very pleased.

"Huh? Really?"

"."

"Speaking of which," the old wizard turned his head, "how's the search for that brooch coming along? Do you need any help?"

"Thanks, but it seems unnecessary this time. I already have a lead."

Shen You turned on the screen next to him.

"I have drawn a magic map. Although different magic systems work in different ways, and I don't understand how new systems I've never seen work, I can still track them based on the energy characteristics of specific frequencies."

I've marked several active zones with similar magical frequencies to those you encountered recently; Pal will be able to calculate them for me soon.

Um?"

A radar detected a response. He frowned slightly, swiped open another screen, and gave a strange look.

"strangeness."

"What happened? They couldn't find it?"

Kara and Zero flanked him from both sides, staring at the screen.

"No, it seems like we've found it. But...it's interesting."

He paused for a moment, then explained.

"This is another search program that I'm running simultaneously. It's about the emotional spectrum, specifically searching the spectrum of 'death'."

"Oh, it's the one we were looking for before," Zero said knowingly. "So you found it here first?"

"No, actually they were found together."

Shen You said, puzzled.

"The source of the death fluctuation and the magical features of the brooch overlap at the same coordinates."
