# Chapter 351: Sacrifice
At this moment, a figure leaped out, crossing her arms and using the armguards on her forearms to directly meet the fierce axe blow.
Steppenwolf looked at the woman before him, who was overestimating her own strength, and grinned. He couldn't help but put more force into it, wanting to cleave this Earth God in half.
"Clang!"
The battle axe in Steppenwolf's hand, forged from alien special alloy, struck squarely on Diana's crossed armguards.
The two armguards on Diana's forearms, transformed from the Guardian Silver Bracelets, sparked violently as Steppenwolf's axe struck them. Under the fierce impact, her right leg couldn't help but step back, which allowed her to parry Steppenwolf's powerful axe blow.
However, this axe blow from Steppenwolf activated the magic patterns within the Guardian Silver Bracelets. The Guardian Silver Bracelets worn by Diana were forged by Hephaestus, God of Fire from the Olympian Pantheon. The materials used were extremely luxurious, being fragments of Aegis, the divine shield of Zeus, King of Gods of Olympus. Not only could they automatically attract firepower and protect the wearer from incoming arrows and stray bullets, making them impervious to blades and guns.
At the same time, once the divine shield fragments in the Guardian Silver Bracelets withstood an excessively strong attack, they would absorb this attack and convert it into a more intense Shockwave to rebound it.
Steppenwolf had not expected the two armguards Diana wore to be such Divine Artifacts. Before he could react, the armguards on Wonder Woman's forearms flashed with Olympian divine script, faintly forming a phantom of an ancient shield.
A beam of Thunder flashed within the phantom, and Steppenwolf was directly sent flying dozens of meters by a powerful Shockwave.
"Bastard! You will pay for the blood debt you incurred on the Amazons!"
Diana looked at Steppenwolf, who had been knocked back and lay sprawled on the Ground. She drew the Godkiller Sword from her back and charged forward.
The Godkiller Sword was also a sharp sword forged by Hephaestus, God of Fire, incredibly sharp.
The reason it was named the Godkiller Sword was because legend said it could slay Gods, making it the supreme Treasure of the Amazon tribe.
Diana leaped into the air and arrived above Steppenwolf. Gripping the hilt of the Godkiller Sword with both hands, she aimed at Steppenwolf's Heart and thrust down.
Steppenwolf lay half-reclining on the Ground. Facing Diana's strike from the sky, he grunted, grabbed the battle axe beside him, and swung it towards the Godkiller Sword in Diana's hand.
Clang! The Godkiller Sword and Steppenwolf's battle axe clashed. Amidst the clang of Metal and Iron, another intense Shockwave swept outwards.
Green Arrow, who was Aiming his arrow at Steppenwolf nearby, was caught off guard by the residual impact of the clash and was directly thrown to the Ground by the Shockwave.
"Amazons, you mean those beautiful females? I invited them, but unfortunately, they were unwilling to join my Parademon Legion, so they can only turn into cosmic dust along with this Planet!"
"Not just them, you too!"
Steppenwolf parried Diana's strike. He stood up, shook his head, and scanned the Crowd present with a Gaze that seemed to look at dead people.
"There were many Planets that foolishly tried to Obstruct Lord Darkseid's steps. Unfortunately, without exception, they all failed!"
"If I remember correctly, Darkseid also tried to invade Earth a few thousand years ago, but he was severely beaten back by us Earthlings. What, have Darkseid's injuries healed now? If he has the guts, why doesn't he come to Earth himself!"
Batman looked at Steppenwolf, who was spouting nonsense, and retorted directly. "You're courting death!"
Steppenwolf looked at this frail Human and swung his battle axe, about to step forward and cleave him in half.
Diana, Victor, and Arthur leaped forward together, blocking him and surrounding him in a pincer formation.
"Trying to win by numbers!?"
Steppenwolf looked at them with a Cold Laugh, and beckoned with his hand. Following his gesture, thousands of Parademons immediately surged out from the Boom Tube, which had lost its guardians.
These Parademons instantly filled the already small Batcave.
Diana, Victor, Arthur, and the others were immediately surrounded by Parademons—
Facing these endless alien creatures, although they fought fiercely, they were separated by the Parademons.
Diana occasionally struck her arms together, using the Energy Shockwave from the Guardian Silver Bracelets to send the Parademons flying.
But in the blink of an eye, even more Parademons swooped down on her. And although these Parademons were not highly intelligent, they were adaptable in Combat.
Some Parademons, after witnessing the formidable Strength of Diana and Arthur in Close Combat, simply kept their distance and fired at them from afar.
After using the Parademon Legion to trap the most troublesome enemies, Steppenwolf walked towards Batman with his battle axe.
"Mortal! No one can insult Lord Darkseid!"
Batman, standing in front of the controls, remained calm and operated the Computer before him.
Under his control, the Batcave's defensive Firepower instantly went to maximum.
Bullets and Lasers rained down from overhead like a waterfall, piercing through Parademons.
Over a dozen alien Laser Gun ports shifted, Aiming at Steppenwolf. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, crimson laser rays converged in a focused attack on Steppenwolf.
Steppenwolf paid no mind to these Human Weapons. He didn't believe that the Weapons of such a primitive Civilization could harm him.
It wasn't until a Laser hit his Shoulder, piercing through his Armor, that the slight Pain made him turn his Gaze towards the dense Firing Points overhead.
Looking down at the finger-sized, white-smoking Hole in his silver Armor at his Shoulder.
Steppenwolf raised the battle axe in his hand and spoke the divine language of Apokolips, the New Gods: "Tear them down!"
The black mass of the Parademon Army instantly surged towards the top of the Batcave as if injected with adrenaline.
The scorching Ammunition Belts fired from the Machine Guns didn't need precise Aiming amidst such a dense Parademon Army. The Blood of the Parademons splattered in mid-air, and shattered bodies exploded onto their own kind.
At the Firing Ports of the Laser Guns, each Laser could pierce through dozens of Parademons, but it still couldn't stop these cold Bio-weapons from approaching.
Some Parademons lunged at these Firing Ports, grabbing the Machine Guns and Laser Emitters with both hands, and forcefully bent them, pulling them out by the roots from the Firing Ports.
With no more Obstacles! Steppenwolf strode forward, continuing towards Batman.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
The wind whistled. Steppenwolf raised his hand and caught several Arrows shot at him.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" After flashing a few brief Red Lights, the Explosive Arrows exploded directly in Steppenwolf's hand.
Hit! Green Arrow looked hopefully at the Smoke after the Explosion. As the Smoke cleared, Steppenwolf casually threw the crushed Arrow Shafts onto the Ground, not even bothering to look at Green Arrow.
Oliver Queen was about to nock another arrow, but when he reached into the Quiver behind him, he found it empty.
Without a certain transportation Captain, his Arrows had unknowingly already run out.
Oliver Queen vaguely felt like he had missed something. Before he could recall carefully, several Parademons had Targeted him.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Facing the dense Energy Beams, Oliver Queen rolled and leaped awkwardly through the Batcave, using various Obstacles to dodge the Parademons' pursuit. "Mr. Queen, Mr. Wayne!"
Barry Allen anxiously looked at Bruce Wayne, who was being pressed closer by Steppenwolf, then at Oliver Queen, who was fleeing in disarray.
He wished he could run over to help immediately, but he looked at the mysterious Man beside him, and the courage he had finally mustered drained away.
Tang Song paid no attention to Barry Allen, who was like an ant on a hot pan beside him. A blood ball the size of his little finger floated before him.
This blood ball was extracted from Steppenwolf after he was injured, using Water Control Technique.
Tang Song used Magic Arts to peel away layers of this Blood ball. Feeling the vigorous Vitality within the Blood, his Eyebrow twitched.
Steppenwolf and Darkseid behind him were called the New Gods of this Universe. His Blood undoubtedly had great Research Value.
A complete Corpse of a half-Skyfather level being could provide at least six or seven A+ level research topics for the Biological Laboratory.
After studying the blood, this Corpse could also be Refined into an Armored Corpse or a Magic Treasure. Tang Song's Gaze fell upon Steppenwolf, and he began to calculate how to acquire this great Treasure before the Magic Power of this consciousness Clone was depleted.
Steppenwolf, who was approaching Batman, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He instinctively turned to look, but behind him was empty. Besides the resisters trapped by his Parademons, there wasn't a single Shadow.
Facing Steppenwolf's approach, Bruce Wayne entered a string of code into the main console. A Crack suddenly opened in the Ground beneath his feet.
From the Crack, a lift platform raised a pure black Mecha, about three meters tall, to the Ground.
The Mecha was modeled after Bruce Wayne himself. It had a pure black body with two two-meter-long Katana in sheaths plugged into its back.
Bruce Wayne threw a Flashbang at Steppenwolf. While Steppenwolf was disoriented, he flipped into the Driver's Cab of the Mecha.
Rip!
The Mecha reached back and drew a Katana that glowed with green Radiance from its back. Just from the color of this Katana, which had Kryptonite as its Blade, one could tell who this Mecha was built to counter.
Not only did this Mecha have a Kryptonite Katana, but it was also equipped with Kryptonite Shuriken, Kryptonite dust Spray, and special Firearms that fired Kryptonite Bullets... From these Weapons, it was clear how deeply Batman loved his good friend.
Unfortunately, Batman's Anti-Superman Mecha could only be used to deal with his good friend Clark Kent.
Steppenwolf was not a Kryptonian, and he did not fear these Kryptonite Weapons. Batman could only rely on the Mecha's hard shell to grapple with Steppenwolf.
Fortunately, when Bruce Wayne initially designed this Mecha, he had considered Clark's inhuman strength and heat vision capable of destroying everything. Therefore, for the Mecha's material selection, he used an extremely rare Special Alloy. The hardness of this Alloy was several times greater than space-grade materials of the same level.
Bruce Wayne controlled the Bat-Mecha, swinging the Katana, and relying on his excellent Skill to maneuver around the Enemy before him.
Relying on the durable Mecha, Batman temporarily withstood Steppenwolf's furious battle axe cleaves.
But only temporarily. After three axe swings, Steppenwolf had directly chopped off the Kryptonite Katana in the Bat-Mecha's hand.
Kryptonite wasn't particularly hard. Its only use, perhaps, was to Restrain Superman.
After chopping off the Katana in the Bat-Mecha's hand, Steppenwolf gathered strength for another axe blow. The sharp and heavy Great Axe directly severed one of the Bat-Mecha's Mechanical Arms,
Exposing sparking wires inside.
Having succeeded with one Strike, Steppenwolf flipped his Wrist, and the descending Axe Blade flipped with it. The axe swung upwards, another axe blow aimed upwards at the Bat-Mecha's Head.
"Boom!"
A Mechanical Energy Cannon struck fiercely from behind, causing Steppenwolf to stagger. The axe in his hand narrowly missed the Bat-Mecha's Head, slicing wide.
Click, click, click! Cyborg Victor raised his Mechanical Arm, the flattened Energy Cannon Port Aiming at Steppenwolf. As the Energy indicator lights on his Mechanical Arm lit up one by one, another Energy Cannon shot towards Steppenwolf.
Steppenwolf was enraged by the blast and was about to go after Victor with his axe. At this moment, inside the Bat-Mecha, Bruce Wayne seized the opportunity. Using the Mecha's left arm, he grabbed the other Katana from behind, quickly drew it from its sheath, and stabbed towards Steppenwolf's lower back.
This Katana in his hand was slightly different from the previous one. Between the glowing green Kryptonite, several grooves were faintly visible.
Inside these grooves were extremely thin Metal wires. As Batman stabbed with the blade, a High-Pressure Electric Current instantly surged along the blade tip towards Steppenwolf's lower back.
"Rip!" The High-Pressure Current Blade, specifically designed by Bruce Wayne to counter Kryptonian physiology, had such an Electric Current Intensity that even Steppenwolf, a New God, was instantly jolted and convulsed from such a sudden strike. With a thud, he fell to his knees on the Ground.
"Victor, Diana, Arthur!"
Bruce Wayne, having successfully performed a Sneak Attack, shouted the names of Cyborg, Wonder Woman, and the others. As the powerful Electric Current output from the Katana in his hand continued, the buried High-Pressure power cables throughout the Batcave, unable to withstand the strong Electric Current supply, began to Explode one after another.
Cyborg Victor was closest to Bruce Wayne. Seeing Steppenwolf twitching on the Ground, he raised his arm and rushed forward, firing a ball of orange-red High Temperature Electro-Fusion Cannon at Steppenwolf's Head.
Just as his Head was about to be blasted by this High Temperature Electro-Fusion Cannon, at the critical moment of Life and Death, Steppenwolf endured the Pain and numbness caused by the Electric Current corroding his Body. He suddenly rolled on the Ground, dodging the blast of the High Temperature Electro-Fusion Cannon overhead.
Boom! Victor's strike hit the Batcave Ground. Unlike a normal Energy Cannon Attack, this basketball-sized orange-red Energy ball instantly dissolved the Ground rock into a pool of Lava-like Liquid upon contact.
The Energy ball continued downwards until its Energy was exhausted. At this point, the Ground had been dissolved into a Large Pit two meters square and five to six meters deep, filled with Lava.
The Lava in the pit cooled little by little.
Steppenwolf looked at the Large Pit before him with some lingering fear, feeling the numbness that had not yet subsided in his Body, and seeing Cyborg, Batman, and the others closing in.
He swung his battle axe with both hands, making a move as if to charge at Batman. Cyborg and Diana, who had just arrived, quickly blocked his path.
Unexpectedly, Steppenwolf feinted. He held his battle axe and leaped towards the Direction of the Boom Tube.
"Careful! His Target is the Mother Box!"
Batman keenly sensed Steppenwolf's true Purpose, but it was already too late.
Aquaman Arthur, the only one blocking Steppenwolf's path, was sent flying by an axe blow. Then dozens of Parademons surrounded him recklessly.
Aquaman Arthur thrust his Trident with all his might, but there were simply too many Parademons around, and he couldn't kill them all in a short Time.
"Your Lives will turn into the most insignificant dust in the Universe, just like this Planet. I will watch the final scene of your Planet's Destruction from outside Earth, you pathetic Ants!" In the furious Gaze of the Crowd, Steppenwolf easily took the last Mother Box into his hand. After leaving a harsh remark, his Figure disappeared into the Boom Tube, surrounded by hundreds of Parademons.
"What do we do now?"
Inside the ruined Batcave, the members of the Justice League looked at each other.
Clang! Wonder Woman directly threw the Godkiller Sword onto the Ground and sat down dejectedly.
"When three Mother Boxes are gathered together, they can Devour the entire Earth's core energy. By then, Earth will become a Dead Star!"
Cyborg Victor was silent for a moment, then stated the consequence of Steppenwolf gathering the Mother Boxes.
"Prepare for Combat! We have no other choice. Since Steppenwolf could snatch the Mother Boxes from us, then we'll snatch them back!"
The cockpit of the Bat-Mecha opened, and Bruce Wayne stepped out of the Mecha. His Eyes behind the Mask showed a hint of fatigue, but they were still firm and powerful.
Hearing Bruce Wayne's words, everyone reluctantly lifted their spirits.
"Perhaps I have a Method!"
A Voice came from the Direction of the Batcave Entrance. Everyone looked towards the sound, and a figure appeared near the Batcave Entrance.
"John!" Bruce Wayne recognized the identity of the newcomer.
"Where did you go just now? I didn't see you at all!"
Through the gap in the damaged sealed Alloy Door from the residual Combat impact, the limping Figure of John Constantine walked into the Batcave.
"Hiss!"
By the light of the few remaining weak Lights in the Batcave, the group finally saw John Constantine's appearance clearly.
This sight was startling. Even the most outspoken Aquaman Arthur, who had originally intended to Mock John Constantine's act of desertion, when he saw John Constantine's miserable state, he couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.
His right arm hung limply, merely tied to his chest with a bandage. His face was bruised and swollen, his Eyes so swollen they were reduced to two slits.
He walked with a limp, dragging his left leg, which also appeared broken.
Seeing John Constantine in this state, they would believe him even if he said he had been ganged up on by a dozen Steppenwolves.
If it weren't for the familiar brown Trench Coat and his characteristic hair, they wouldn't have believed the man before them was Constantine.
"John! What happened to you?"
Just as John Constantine was about to speak, a sharp Pain shot through his mouth. He tried to reach into his Trench Coat for his Cigar Box to smoke and relieve the Pain, but his left hand fumbled for a long time without pulling out the Cigar Box.
Finally, Bruce Wayne stepped forward, took out the Cigar Box for him, extracted a Cigar from it, handed it to his mouth, and thoughtfully lit the Cigar for him.
John Constantine held the Cigar with his left hand and took a deep drag, easing the Pain from his broken Teeth.
That crazy woman Harley Quinn was truly ruthless. She had given him a full-body massage with a Baseball Bat.
If he hadn't been so tough, she would have beaten him to death with the Baseball Bat.
And that Evil God, as expected, had left something behind in him. What a load of crap about a Gift. That Sword was so malicious, those black flags definitely weren't good Things either.
"John, you said you have a Method to deal with Steppenwolf!?"
Looking at Constantine, who was puffing Smoke, Bruce Wayne couldn't help but ask.
"Let me finish this Cigar! Hiss!" As soon as John Constantine opened his mouth, a sharp Pain shot through it.
Bruce Wayne and the members of the Justice League exchanged glances and could only watch Constantine smoking his Cigar, waiting quietly for him to finish it...
Rewind to a short while ago.
Outside Penguin's Manor, in the Dense Forest below the Hillside, the wind and rain gradually stopped. The War between Harley Quinn and Constantine, the two fated individuals chosen by Boss Tang, was also nearing its end.
Harley Quinn leaned on her knees, panting heavily, somewhat disheveled. She had exhausted too much stamina dodging the attacks of those sticky Tentacles.
Two Skeleton Demons stood in front of her. Green Phosphorescent Fire flickered and shifted in their hollow White Bone Eye Sockets.
These were the only two Skeleton Demons Harley Quinn had left. The pink Tentacles of the Mind Flayer were already surrounding them from all sides.
"Is that all you've got? It seems that Evil God doesn't Value you very much!"
Facing Constantine's Mockery, Harley Quinn felt a hint of regret. If she hadn't squandered all the Contribution Points she had borrowed, if she had exchanged for just a few Treasures from that list, she wouldn't be in this situation now.
"Give up resisting. I don't want to hurt you. I'll find a way to help you erase the Magic Mark that Evil God placed on you and help you get rid of Him!"
Constantine's face became indistinct in the Smoke. The promise he made to Harley Quinn was half-Truth, half-false. He certainly wouldn't kill this Woman before him. On one hand, he needed a Material to help him Research the Curse Mark placed on him by that Evil God. On the other hand, he knew that killing a follower of an Evil God would inevitably cause Him to be Targeted.
He wasn't sure if the Dark Magic he possessed could deceive that mysterious existence.
Perhaps he could trick the First of the Fallen or Lucifer into killing this Woman. Constantine plotted a malicious scheme. It would be best if he could use the power of that Evil God to deal with his Creditors.
"Caw!"
The cry of a Raven suddenly sounded from the Treetop. Constantine looked in the Direction of the sound and saw the Raven on the Treetop transform into a ball of Black Mist drifting towards him.
Constantine looked at this bizarre scene and instinctively manipulated a Magic Talismanic Seal to protect himself.
"Hiss!" Just then, a sharp Pain suddenly came from his Heart. It felt as if someone had stabbed his Heart with a Sword.
Under the intense Pain, Constantine instantly fell to his knees on the Ground, clutching his Heart tightly with both hands.
But the piercing Pain did not subside at all because of his Actions.
"Ah!"
Constantine let out extremely mournful cries, and large drops of sweat dripped from his Forehead onto the Ground.
In the end, Constantine was in so much Pain that he kept rolling on the Ground.
"Taking Money but not doing the job, do you really think my Things are so easy to take!"
About ten minutes later, a pair of white Leather Shoes appeared before Constantine. Constantine, tear-streaked and snotty, raised his Head and looked at the Man before him, gritting his Teeth and closing his mouth.
"How does the pain of the Nine-Child Yin Soul Sword piercing the heart feel! Since you refuse a toast and prefer a forfeit, you disobedient donkey, I can only rein you in!"
"What do you want me to do?" Constantine looked at the Evil God who had suddenly appeared in Reality. His mind raced, thinking of ways to deal with him.
Suicide! As long as he died, the Demon Kings and Angels who had signed Contracts with him would surely sense it.
By then, they would definitely rush over and be able to drive away this Evil God from this Parallel Universe.
Constantine's hand quietly reached into his chest pocket. There, he always kept an injection of hydrogen chloride poison. As long as he drank it, he could summon a large group of Creditors.
"Are you looking for this?"
Constantine's hand found nothing in his chest pocket. Then, a hand held an injection and dangled it in front of him.
"Suicide! You plan to summon your Creditors to deal with me. To be honest, your Abilities are much more formidable than a certain Mr. Xu!
However, do you believe that before the First of the Fallen, Lucifer, and them arrive, I will have already taken your Soul back to my Universe!
Want to bet on who's faster, Lucifer and them or my Immortal Registry! Don't worry, I will light an oil lamp in the pavilion you saw, use your Soul as the wick, and let you enjoy the Pain of being constantly burned by Blazing Flames!"
"This Time will be stretched out long enough. I have plenty of ways to make your Soul burn for thousands of years!"
Gentle words, but they spoke of cruelty more vicious than the most cunning Devil. Constantine had seen too many Demons and Devils; he could distinguish between Truth and empty threats.
When that hand handed him the hydrogen chloride injection and told him to try committing suicide, Constantine hesitated.
He endured the Pain, his Voice almost squeezed out from between his Teeth: "Can I have one more chance!"
"Unfortunately, you don't have a chance anymore!"
"I know a Demiplane. It's the Territory of Monsters. I can develop them into your Followers, so you can have a stable foothold in this Material World!"
The truly heart-wrenching Pain made Constantine reveal a Trump Card he had reserved.
"Hmm? Go on!"
The pain in Constantine's Body, which felt like ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, seemed to disappear instantly. He lay on the Ground, gasping for breath.
"Los Angeles, behind the city of Los Angeles in the Federation, is a Monster Paradise. I can help you develop them into your Followers!"
Constantine felt no guilt whatsoever in directly selling out the City Spirit of Los Angeles, with whom he had a one-night stand. Or rather, guilt was something that simply wouldn't appear on Constantine. He had once performed Exorcism that caused an innocent little girl to fall into Hell forever, unable to be reborn! He had also hurt the feelings of his own niece for the sake of Exorcism, letting her be completely crushed in the end!
He could ruthlessly betray and Sacrifice his Teammates for Exorcism, and remained calm when facing their ghosts seeking revenge! "Congratulations, you have earned yourself a chance to live. Believe me, you should truly be grateful for your choice!"
"Now, I have something I need you to do. If you can complete it, I will exempt you from the pain of ten thousand swords piercing your heart brought by the Nine-Child Yin Soul Sword. It's okay if you can't complete it either, you will just enjoy a free massage of the Nine-Child Yin Soul Sword Qi piercing your heart every three months from now on!"
A hand pressed down on Constantine's Head. Then, many Pictures appeared in Constantine's mind. The first among them was a magnificent Magic Array diagram, and a very awkward, mysterious Spell.
Feeling the hand on his Head leave, Constantine looked at the white Leather Shoes that disappeared from his sight. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed onto the Ground.
"Clang!"
Just as Constantine lay on the grass, gasping for breath, a beautiful face appeared before him.
"Stop! We're on the same side! I'm also an Apostle of that great Lord!"
Constantine, whose limbs were sore and weak, was completely unable to exert any Strength at this moment. He could only try to talk his way out of it, hoping to persuade Harley Quinn.
But the crazy Joker Woman was unwilling to listen to his Explanation. She swung her Baseball Bat heavily towards Constantine's face.
If it weren't for the Nine-Child Yin Soul Sword Qi protecting him inside his Body, with this one swing from Harley Quinn, Constantine's brain matter would have been knocked out directly.
However, because of the protection of the Nine-Child Yin Soul Sword Qi, Constantine was beaten by Harley Quinn with the Baseball Bat for half an hour straight.
She only stopped when her hands and feet became weak.
"What is this Thing?"
After finishing his Cigar, Constantine asked Bruce Wayne to find a Computer.
Because almost all the Equipment in the Batcave was damaged, Bruce Wayne had someone move one specifically from the Manor to fulfill his request.
As a Wizard, Constantine possessed many miraculous Magic Arts, such as Spells, Curses, Witchcraft, Stealth, and Illusions, etc.
He could use Perception to find others, and had also used Magic Arts originating from ancient Judaism to drive Golems. Similarly, he was proficient in traditional European Dark Magic to summon Demons; skilled in using Magic Arrays and Talismanic Seals to Conceal his tracks. But this did not mean Constantine was a pedantic Wizard. His understanding of modern science was not bad.
He could even use Quantum Magic to find Information on the Network.
It only took him half an hour to draw a complex, bizarre Lotus-shaped pattern on the Computer.
The members of the Justice League looked at this pattern, none of them understanding what it meant.
"This is a Sacrifice Magic Array. Draw it on the Ground of the Parademons' Lair. As long as the Magic Array is activated, those Parademons and that Steppenwolf will directly become Sacrificial Offerings! Someone will naturally collect these Sacrificial Offerings."
"Sacrifice! What do you mean?"
When Constantine stated his suggestion, the members of the Justice League were somewhat bewildered.
Dealing with a powerful Alien, and suddenly bringing up Sacrifice and Magic, everyone felt a bit disoriented for a moment.
"Blood Sacrifice! You want to Sacrifice to an Evil God!"
Wonder Woman Diana was the first to react. She frowned at Constantine and shouted angrily.
"Oh, come on, my Goddess! Human society now is the Land of Faith of that Lord. Your Olympian Pantheon has been in decline for how long! If praying to Zeus is useful, I'll build him a Palace right away! But tell me, is praying to Zeus useful now?!"
The sharp-tongued Constantine didn't hold back against Diana this time and directly Mocked her.
