"Are you here to deliver food? Or are you the food?"
"This, this...please wait a moment——!"
The strange white-robed man retreated continuously, hit the train carriage, and suddenly turned into a burst of golden light and sped towards other trains parked in the sky.
"Huh? That's strange. What's the profound meaning of Xiaojing's words just now?"
"Although he sounded like he wanted to eat people, there was no unnecessary threat. How could he believe it?"
Ye Ke and Lin Xinping, who had just been completely ignored by the man in white robe, began to chatter.
"I don't know," Jin Jing looked at the scene outside the window: "I just read it according to the prompts given by 'Solomon', without even matching the expression."
After the golden light returned to the "Owl Train" array, it seemed to cause a commotion, and most of the trains moved some distance away.
"Is this what it means to gain divine power? Is there a god who is guiding you remotely? But that boy Billy seems to be so cute all the time."
"Didn't he say that the 'Wizard Shazam' died after giving him his powers? Then no one would be able to provide off-site support?"
"Let's not mention that, what is our situation now? The earth is blocked after we come back from a trip?"
"One day in heaven and one year on earth. This is normal."
"This is a world with a Western background. You might as well say that time goes back faster than the speed of light."
At the same time, the two roommates also began to make speculations about the current situation, but they sounded unreliable.
Jin Jing focused her attention on the train closest to her, and as expected, the available options were displayed.
【observe.】
【Check status.】
【View power.(Solomon)】
【Destroy.(Atlas)】
【do nothing.】
The first two should be the abilities of "Shazam" itself, and analyzing the faction it belongs to requires the wisdom of Solomon. As for destroying this... is Atlas such a cruel god?
Jin Jing chose "Observation" and then found that her "perspective" was suddenly zoomed in. She was observing the train like a satellite. If she wanted to, she could adjust the angle and focal length by herself.
She tried adjusting it a few times, and successfully saw the scene inside the carriage. It was an "Owl Court Train" filled with passengers. Everyone inside was wearing a white hooded cloak with golden owl patterns.
Look, they should all be human beings. As for men and women... I can't tell.
At this time, the man in white robe who had come to his carriage was standing at the front of the car, shouting something loudly to the other men in cloaks.
If you can hear it...
Before Jin Jing's idea could be fully formed, the man's angry voice came from the screen.
"You idiots!" he roared: "That's not some 'talon' who takes advantage of the opportunity! That's a powerful 'owl priest'!"
Sharp claws... Jin Jing recalled those mindless murlocs. Are they smart enough to reap benefits? And what about the "Owl Priest"?
"Hmph, I'm stupid for listening to your instigation to extort benefits or establish a leadership position, but the priest said she was 'hungry', I think you know what this means."
Following the man's words, there was an uneasy commotion among the men in white robes. Someone seemed to be responding to something, but Jin Jing couldn't hear it clearly.
"Don't give me nonsense. If I can't beat the priest, why can't I beat you?" The man in white robe crossed his arms: "If you don't have anything to satisfy the priest's appetite, I will send you to her to eat!"
I will not eat!
Although Jin Jing is now in the "Shazam" state, he does not have the ability to transmit sounds with his mind. After the men in white robes made a fuss for a while, they really started to take out things and hand them to the men in white robes, but what they found was a bit strange.
The only thing that is relatively uniform is that these things are basically painted with a dark bat logo.
Even if Jin Jing didn't know much about American comics and Batman, he could still tell that something was wrong with that superhero. Was he cut into parts?
The most outrageous thing is that these things are actually considered "things to satisfy appetite"?
She shook her head, looked away, and then chose "Check Power" without hesitation. Although she was almost invincible now, with her two roommates unreliable, she had to know what was going on in the world.
【Court of Owls】
[A mysterious organization established when Gotham City was founded, using the 'Bacchus Factor' to create 'Claws', and bringing the development of Gotham under its own control. 】
[Only Gotham locals are eligible to be invited to join the organization, but because of this, the members of the Court of Owls who came from gangs and did not know how to run a city eventually developed Gotham into the largest crime capital in the United States. 】
This seemed to be consistent with the results of the investigation by himself, the Wayne family, the Cobot family, and the Falcone family. Jin Jing nodded silently and continued reading.
[But the Court of Owls is just a branch of a larger organization called the Parliament of Owls.]
[Unlike the Court of Owls, which only focuses on Gotham, the Parliament of Owls is committed to secretly controlling all cities in the world. The development level of the 'Court of Owls' in other cities is not uniform. Some of them are doing better than Gotham, and some are worse.
, some have been uprooted by superheroes, and even discovered the existence of the Owl Council by following the clues.】
[But no matter what the fate of the 'Owl Council' is, it means nothing to its founder and true core - the 'Owl Priest'. 】
Oh...so the man mistook her for the owl priest when he saw her?
[The vast majority of members of the Owl Council are wealthy people from all over the world. They may have supernatural powers and have obtained some supernatural companions, but the 'Owl Priests' are completely different. Their power comes from the 'Eating Evil of the World' Mobiu
Mobius.]
[The purpose of establishing the 'Owl Council' by the 'Owl Priests' in each world is to attract superheroes and provide 'food' to Mobius. Ordinary superheroes are desserts, while powerful superheroes are the main course.
If a world is so barren that it doesn’t have any superheroes, then there’s nothing wrong with eating it like a tasteless staple food.]
[Some of the Owl Council tried to resist after discovering this, but this kind of 'saving the world' resistance turned their identities into 'superheroes' instantly, and Mobius ate them up without ceremony.
And by the way, they let their world wait for the birth of new superheroes - as far as the results are concerned, they are really heroes.】
[Most members of the Owl Council neither want to be beaten by superheroes nor wait to be eaten. The final choice is to take the 'Owl Train' to other worlds to 'restock'. In this fiercely competitive situation, it is easy for each other to have conflicts.
Conflict, but if a world is in crisis enough for its 'Owl Priests' to take action personally, then they are still willing to save face.】
[Solomon’s additional explanation: Mobius’s taste is not fixed, but she prefers to eat bats recently.]
"..."
Jin Jing deeply realized that knowing too much is not a good thing.
This kind of information should wait until she destroys the Court of Owls, makes many superhero friends, overthrows the Owl Council, experiences several major events, and has an organization composed of like-minded superheroes.
And the Batman of this world hasn’t been born yet!

By the way...does anyone know anything about Crisis on Infinite Earths, Blackest Night and Metal?
