Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 874 Dark Justice League
Kent knew this was abnormal, but he had no solution. He tried to contact the Greek and Norse pantheons, who were also absorbing the power of the cat god, but all he could hear was the sound of tides seeping from the folds of time, unlike any human sound, and he couldn't tell which direction it came from. Sometimes it sounded like bubbles rising from the seabed silt, and sometimes like whispers from beyond the stars. It was as if the entire universe was curled up inside his head, speaking of the darkness and chaos of the universe with a non-human tongue.

All that is heard and heard is meaningless. Trying to understand it only yields slippery emptiness. Trying to pursue it only drags you into a deeper vortex.

Even after he stopped this reckless behavior, the whispers still echoed in Kent's mind from time to time, not even when he was asleep. It was not a sound, but it could resonate in his mind; it was not a smell, but it brought a fishy smell of rust and dust; it was not a touch, but it was like countless transparent tentacles writing unintelligible symbols on his nerve endings.

Kent is now experiencing auditory and visual hallucinations, and often falls into hallucinations. He also unconsciously tries to utter the notes in his mind. Occasionally, he notices syllables that are not human coming out of his throat, and what his tongue tastes is not saliva, but a kind of rotten taste. He then knows that his time is running out.

Kent knew the source of everything, but he dared not go. It wasn't a matter of whether he was afraid of dying; he was afraid that if he died, no one would ever know about it again.

Fortunately, he knew Zatanna, so he gritted his teeth and found her, who had already formed the Dark Justice League.

“This is not the fault of the Cat God,” Zatanna explained, knowing Kent’s purpose.

“The Cat God is the guardian of the Gate of Truth. It used its divine power to plug the leaks and catch the escaped mice. But you not only extracted its divine power, but also sealed it away. Who can you blame for this?” Zatanna said resentfully.

“This was not my intention. Nabu was only affected by the Cat God’s influence on his future destiny,” Kent explained somewhat awkwardly, even though he had never heard of the Gate of Truth.

"Ha, if you hadn't extracted the Cat God's power, perhaps I would have believed you," Zatanna scoffed at Kent's statement.

"The problem is very serious. If all three pantheons are in trouble, Earth will be in danger," Kent said hurriedly, trying to make Zatanna understand the gravity of the situation.

“There’s no way around it. Unless the three pantheons are willing to break the seal and return the divine power to the Cat God, the power from the Gate of Truth will keep seeping in. In fact, the power you extracted the second time wasn’t the Cat God’s power at all, but rather an evil power seeping out from the Gate of Truth.” Zatanna told her the information her teacher had given her earlier.

Kent scratched his head vigorously, his full head of white hair becoming a bird's nest, his increasingly deep wrinkles filled with bitterness, because the current situation had reached a dead end.

The seal was set up by the three major pantheons, and it can only be broken by the combined efforts of all three pantheons; the seal cannot be broken if any one of them is missing.

Judging from the current situation of the three major pantheons, it's clear that they have no chance.

“Save the three pantheons first, then break the seal,” Kent said. However, what he didn’t say was that at least Naboo should be saved first to ensure that the Order pantheon would not have any problems.

"Let alone whether they can be saved, even if they could, it would be equivalent to relieving the gods of their worries. How could the gods possibly lift the seal then, let alone return the divine power?" Zatanna rolled her eyes and said.

Mages are greedy, but gods are even more greedy than mages. Even Kent couldn't argue with that, because it was an undeniable fact.

Based on his understanding of the gods, once freed, he would immediately reinforce the seal of the Cat God, adding seventy or eighty layers, then extract the power to study how to absorb it safely. Finally, he would definitely not let go of the Gate of Truth and would open it to see what was inside.

No matter how sternly the gods are warned, they will not listen, because they are gods.

This situation was a major headache not only for Kent but also for Zatanna; it was a dead end. The seal couldn't be broken without rescuing the gods, but rescuing the gods wouldn't break the seal either, and would only make things worse.

"Regardless, let's see what happened to the gods first," Zatanna said, rubbing her temples.

Kent glanced at the people Zatanna had recruited and couldn't help but frown.

Diana, the princess of Paradise Island, although she had a fake father incident before, her demigod bloodline cannot be faked. She also received the blessing of the Cat God and is one of the top tier of demigods. She is a double red stick of the Dark Justice League.

Lady Shangdu, an old fairy who lived longer than some gods, was a real weakling who couldn't beat anyone and lost her power many times. She survived only because of her good looks and lack of principles. However, she was one of the most skilled prophetic beings on Earth and was the eye of the Dark Justice League.

Constantine, although he initially sided with the gods, Kent still had to say that he was a scumbag. Rather than being Constantine's enemy, he was more of a teammate to worry about. But it was precisely his shamelessness that earned him the right to join.

"We don't have enough manpower," Kent couldn't help but say. What he really meant was that the team wasn't strong enough, with only Diana being a decent fighter.

This is not just needless worry. When it comes to gods, nothing is trivial, especially since this involves three entire pantheons. He wouldn't be surprised if a war between the gods broke out.

“The teacher has to guard the Cat Paradise and can’t come over, but she gave me coordinates and told me to go to the Eastern pantheon for help,” Zatanna said.

“The Japanese pantheon.” Kent frowned.

Pantheons vary in strength, and unfortunately, the Japanese pantheon is the weak one, even its creation myth is rather weak.

Moreover, compared to other pantheons that have both a God-King and a Chief God, the Japanese pantheon has no more than five beings who can reach the level of Chief God, and most fatally, it has no God-King.

Although Amaterasu, regarded as the God-King of the East, is famous and has the authority over the sun, she is not good at fighting and therefore finds it difficult to win over the people. After all, which of the other god-kings in the pantheon doesn't easily defeat the chief gods below them? If she hadn't made a scene with Susanoo and made the gods of the East realize the importance of her as the sun goddess, the situation would be even worse than it is now.

In any case, the label of Japan having the weakest pantheon can never be removed.

Considering the current situation, Kent had no choice at all, and besides, it was still a pantheon, which was better than nothing. So the group came to Japan to find the entrance to the Eastern God Realm.

Although Zatanna has the coordinates, she still needs to find the entrance to the divine realm first. It's like having a house number is useless if you can't even get into your own neighborhood.

In this way, the role of Lady Shangdu became apparent.

However, their gathering naturally attracted the attention of some people, who suspected that they had found some treasure. After all, Doctor Fate and Wonder Woman were not insignificant figures, and with the famous prophet Madame de Santiago, few people would believe that they were not searching for treasure or seeking personal gain.
