**Chapter 500: The Goddess of the Hunt and the Dark Council**
Catwoman cautiously observed her surroundings, waiting for "reinforcements" to arrive, while occasionally checking on her friend's movements.
The red-haired girl in a long green dress stood amidst the ruins of the park, her face full of tender affection as she soothed the many plants and vegetation injured in the explosion at her feet.
Her hands seemed to possess magic power; wherever her palm touched, broken plants and trees would sprout and grow anew, and severed trees would begin to grow new sprouts. These sprouts quickly grew into thick branches, and around her, there was greenery and flowers blooming.
The girl stood among the blooming flowers, her face radiant with a happy smile, like an angel descended upon the Mortal Realm! Selene looked at her friend with eyes full of pity, just like her friend looked at the plants and vegetation.
Her friend, Ivy, was once just a university student who loved plants. Later, she was kidnapped by a bastard botanist and used as an experiment subject. Her body was injected with large amounts of plant toxin. Though she miraculously survived, her body was filled with large amounts of chlorophyll!
Ivy thus gained the ability to control plants and human hormones. However, after this incident, Ivy suffered stress trauma. In her heart, the life of plants was far more precious than human life. Once she discovered someone harming plants, she would directly kill that person and use them as fertilizer.
After Ivy killed that bastard botanist, she also became a world-famous eco-terrorist due to a series of murders and was put on the FBI's wanted list.
The reason Ivy came to this World with her was simply because Ivy wanted to find a World without humanity, only plants and trees, a World without conflict, to live the life she had always dreamed of.
However, before that, Ivy needed enough contribution points to exchange for the authority to emigrate to that World.
"Very good ability! I like this girl. Since leaving Olympus, I haven't had any new nymphs around me for a long time!"
A voice suddenly sounded behind Catwoman. Like a startled cat, she shot up over two meters high, her body bristling. Sharp cat claws sprang from the gloves on her hands, and she tightly gripped an arm-thick branch above her head, turning back to look.
She saw that, at some unknown time, a woman in hunting attire had appeared behind her. The woman wore a short skirt cinched at the waist and a pair of deerskin hunting boots on her feet.
A high nose bridge, a fair face, golden hair piled up, and a longbow made of gold in her hand. Paired with her hunting attire, she looked incredibly heroic and spirited.
The woman seemed completely unaware of Catwoman's startled reaction, merely observing Poison Ivy not far away with interest.
"Are you also a Reincarnator who received Constantine's distress signal?"
Seeing that the woman before her seemed to have no malice, Catwoman Selene released the sharp cat claws that had dug into the tree trunk. She landed two or three meters away from the woman and asked cautiously.
"Reincarnator?" The woman looked back at Catwoman with some surprise: "What is that thing? A profession?"
"You're not a Reincarnator! Why are you here!" Catwoman immediately became tense again upon hearing the woman's words. The sharp cat claws that had retracted into the seams of her gloves slowly extended again.
The sharp blades gleamed with cold light in the Night Sky!
"Don't be tense, little human girl. I have no malice, I'm just here to find something!" The woman waved her hand. She put a finger to her lips, and with a loud whistle.
In the darkness, a large group of hunting dogs, as big as calves, ran out from all directions. Three droopy-headed dogs, two mottled dogs, one spotted dog, and seven very fast Sparta dogs. Without exception, these dogs were astonishingly large, as strong as small calves.
These dogs came to the tree where they stood and barked furiously at the huntress above! The woman seemed to understand what the dogs were saying. Amidst the barking of the many hunting dogs, a smile flashed across her face, which was as fair as milk: "Did you find it! As expected of my good puppies!"
The woman took out an antler whistle and blew it. To the astonished gaze of Selene and Poison Ivy, who looked over upon hearing the sound, a golden chariot pulled by two golden-horned deer appeared out of thin air in mid-air.
The woman stepped onto the hunting chariot. As she shook the reins, the two golden-horned deer pulling the chariot lifted their hooves and chased after the hunting dogs, disappearing into the pitch black. "Selene, who was that?"
Poison Ivy came to Selene's feet, over a dozen vines behind her stretching and swaying like green vipers.
Catwoman agilely leapt down from the tree, landing beside Poison Ivy. She looked up in the Direction the golden-horned deer chariot had departed, shook her head, and indicated that she didn't know either.
"I don't know her, but from what she said, she seemed to be tracking something?"
"She is Artemis, the Goddess of the Hunt from Greek Mythology! The Gods among the Olympian Gods most skilled in tracking and hunting!"
Catwoman was horrified and turned back sharply, only to see a woman with shoulder-length black hair and delicate, somewhat pale features standing beside her, holding a black cat, staring thoughtfully in the Direction Artemis had disappeared.
Behind her stood over a dozen tall shadows. Among these shadows were wolf-headed orcs, and Shamans wearing black cloaks and holding white bone staffs. Several tall, thin Middle-aged Men stood behind the woman. They wore medieval tuxedos, their complexions equally terrifyingly pale. The edges of their tuxedos were embroidered with gold thread, seemingly a symbol of identity.
Seeing these figures suspected of being non-human, Catwoman's pupil contracted sharply, and she felt a chill all over her body. After gaining extraordinary abilities, she was confident that her senses were as acute as a cat's, but today something was wrong. Repeatedly, people had approached within two or three meters behind her, and she hadn't heard a sound.
Whether it was the woman just now or this group of people before her, it seemed they could control her life and death as they wished! Poison Ivy, looking at this sudden group of strangers, immediately activated her superpower. Instantly, vines grew in this area, aiming at these uninvited guests like vipers.
Catwoman's gaze was fixed on the crowd before her. After Ivy activated her superpower, she didn't see any look of fear on the faces of this group of people. Especially the orcs, who were pointing and gesturing at the vines surrounding them, laughing and joking, completely disregarding them.
Looking at these orcs whose muscles were like blocks of steel, and those Cloaked Figures wrapped in black energy, Catwoman's acute five senses instinctively felt a fear of superiors from an inferior!
It was clear that any one person from this group before her could take her down, and it would definitely be an effortless instant kill!
Catwoman gripped her friend's restless hand beside her. She gave the leading woman a forced smile: "Are you here to find trouble with us?"
"Find trouble with you? Why would you think that?" The leading woman shook her head. Her right hand, as fair as beautiful jade, stroked the black cat in her arms as she said elegantly:
"You are Reincarnators, right! We are from the Dark Council. Our targets should be the same. We received the distress call from the Agent named Constantine. We happened to be nearby, so we came to take a look."
"Hmm, you are also his Agent, it's just that the strength on your body is a bit lacking! What's your name?"
The woman seemed to discover something. She walked to Catwoman's side and carefully examined her face: "Hmm, indeed a beauty! No wonder he chose you—"
Perhaps it was just a feeling, but Catwoman actually heard a hint of jealousy in this woman's words: "My name is Selene!"
"What's your name?" The woman's hand petting the cat paused. The black cat in her arms also raised its head curiously, its gem-like eyes staring intently at Catwoman.
From this woman's body, it actually smelled a scent of its own kind.
The surrounding orcs, Shamans, and those handsome men and beautiful women in luxurious tuxedos also cast strange looks upon hearing Catwoman's name.
"My name is Selene, Selina Kyle!" Catwoman didn't know why reporting her name caused such a big reaction from this group of people, but under their gaze, she could only say her name again, and also gave her full name.
"What a coincidence, my name is Selene too!" The woman smiled. That cold and glamorous, sexy face bloomed like a flower, gaining some warmth.
"Hmm, you also rushed over after receiving that Agent's distress signal? This place is too dangerous, it's not something you can interfere with. You should go back! I'll put in a good word for them; this mission will count towards your contribution points!"
The woman also named Selene was naturally Boss Tang's woman, the current Speaker (Dark Council) of the Dark Council, the Vampire Clan's only Queen! Upon hearing Catwoman's name was the same as hers, Selene was surprised but also smiled.
Catwoman's pupil contracted sharply after hearing this woman's words. She heard the subtext in this woman's words.
This woman before her could actually interfere with the operation of that mysterious Reincarnation Space. One must know, that was a Mysterious Organization that could cross the Multiverse. What exactly was the identity of this woman with the same name as her?
"But my friend was taken! We can't abandon her!" Just as Catwoman was secretly speculating in her heart, Poison Ivy interjected from the side.
"Your friend?"
Selene looked at Catwoman.
Catwoman nodded: "Her name is Harley Quinn, she's also that person's Agent!"
"Harley Quinn, Harley Quinn, you're Catwoman!" Selene looked at Catwoman's black tight suit, which could make a man's nose bleed just by looking at it, and the pair of black cat ears on her head, seeming to understand her identity.
Selene nodded understandingly. She had indeed heard Tang Song mention his DC Multiverse journey!
"Don't worry, that guy values his reputation the most. Since she's his Agent, nothing will happen to your friend!"
"Um, excuse me, who is the 'he' you mentioned?" Catwoman asked cautiously.
"A pervert!" Selene said grumpily.
As soon as she arrived in this World, she went to find that guy named Tang. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered, she saw that guy having a wild party with that group of goddesses—
That guy is really hungry, he'll eat anything! As Selene was speaking, another group of people walked out of the darkness. There were quite a few of them, at least several hundred, and each one was carrying boxes on their shoulders.
When these newly arrived Orc Big men placed the wooden weapon crates on the ground, they silently retreated to the side. A Werewolf Man following behind Selene casually stepped forward, prized open a wooden crate, and grabbed a high-tech shoulder-mounted energy cannon from inside. He aimed it at the Night Sky not far away and fired a shot.
A fist-sized blue energy beam shot out from the gun port. After leaving the muzzle, the beam instantly appeared on a cliff face hundreds of meters away.
However, the blue light did not pierce the cliff face, nor did it explode. Instead, it transformed into a door-sized blue energy talisman and floated on the cliff face. A moment later, dozens of blazing white lightning tore through the Night Sky and poured down towards that cliff face. Soon, the cliff face was struck into a pile of gravel by the dense thunder and lightning. The Werewolf cackled: "Heavenly Lightning Talisman plus a Condensation Cannon, the craftsmanship of those dwarfs from the Celestial Soldier Department is indeed good!"
At this time, other Dark Council Members also gathered around, opened the weapon boxes, and grabbed the magically modified weapons from Heavenly Soldier Valley, playing around with them.
Energy generators that can resist mental magic, laser cannons inscribed with tracking enchantments that can automatically lock onto targets and track them, capable of destroying a mountaintop with one shot!
Miniature Decepticons robot dogs with self-awareness, capable of freely hacking into networks, tracking IPs, and deleting various surveillance videos—
Watching the power of the weapons the Dark Council Members were experimenting with, Catwoman's complexion turned a bit green and pale.
Using these high-power weapons, what exactly are these people here for? The Dark Council, could this be the Organization behind the formation of the Reincarnation Space?! Well, thinking about the terrifying scene where that woman leveled the entire park with one palm strike, it is reasonable for them to use these weapons.
"Speaker (Dark Council)! The Police Officers from this World are here!"
"First, let the people in this City have a good sleep! We'll talk after we find what we're looking for!" Selene stroked the black cat in her arms and gave the order lightly.
Following Selene's order, Catwoman and Poison Ivy saw hundreds of handsome men and beautiful women wearing tuxedos fly out of the surrounding darkness. Led by several tall, handsome Middle-aged Men wearing black tuxedos of an extremely old style but undoubtedly luxurious fabric, they floated towards the sky.
With a long and drawn out spell, a black orb of light suddenly exploded, and a black mental wave spread rapidly in all directions. A hypnosis spell instantly enveloped an area of three hundred kilometers.
"Meow!" The black cat in Selene's arms extended its claws, licked its paw pad, and let out a lazy meow, waking up Catwoman and Poison Ivy, who had almost fallen to the ground.
Neither dared to breathe, watching with wide eyes as a black space gate was erected by several old Shamans working together. Strange creatures appeared one after another from within the black space gate.
Soldiers wearing fully enclosed exoskeleton battlegear, three meters tall, pitch black, and cold. The muzzles of the thick weapons they carried in their arms were as thick as her arm—
Aliens wearing strange masks, with small braids on their heads that seemed like hair and also seemed like tentacles—
Upon seeing these aliens appear, Poison Ivy quietly tugged on Catwoman's arm: "They're Predators, I've seen the film!"
Their whispering seemed to attract the attention of a tall Predator. He turned to look at the two. Under the Predator mask, his gaze was icy, as if he were sizing up prey, completely devoid of any warmth.
This tall Predator's gaze swept over the two. Upon noticing Selene beside them, the tall Predator nodded towards Selene, then turned and left.
Catwoman glared fiercely at Poison Ivy, signaling her not to talk too much.
After over twenty Predators walked out of the Space Gate, a group of tall Decepticons robots walked out from within the Space. The weapons on these big guys were no less inferior than Behemoth Armor, and in terms of agility and flexibility, these Decepticons far surpassed the soldiers wearing battlegear.
