Chapter 1048 Raven: This is true radiance!
To Barbara and the others' astonishment, the speedboat sped through the shadows, and the view ahead suddenly opened up.

Not far in front of them, on top of the overturned container ship, stood a burly figure.

Heya wore a black cloak and had a golden lightning bolt emblem on his forehead.

At this moment, his dignified face was filled with disbelief and astonishment.

He looked down at his hands, which had just unleashed lightning, then suddenly looked up at the figure shrouded in a purple cloak at the bow of the ship, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The lightning he unleashed with the power of Shazam contained the power of the six gods, enough to destroy everything, yet it was so easily swallowed up by Riven's magic circle.

Raven seemed oblivious to Black Adam's astonishment.

She didn't retract her outstretched hand, but continued reciting ancient magic from the world of Hogwarts.

With a brief whisper, Raven's outstretched hand suddenly opened its five fingers.

"Boom!!!"

Around the Black Adam atop the cargo ship, space suddenly distorted, and countless purple chains appeared out of thin air.

These chains disregarded physical distance and instantly wrapped around Black Adam's limbs, neck, and waist.

"Damn it!"

Black Adam roared, his body erupting with dazzling golden lightning as he tried to break free of the chains.

A terrifying force erupted, twisting and deforming the surrounding containers, and causing the steel cargo ship beneath their feet to emit a piercing groan.

However, the purple chains remained motionless.

They seemed to be rooted in space itself, ignoring the impact of Black Adam's power. As Black Adam unleashed his golden divine power, the chains became even more solid.

"No! This is impossible!"

Black Adam struggled desperately, but no matter what he did, he could not budge the seemingly slender purple chains.

His divine power, which he was so proud of, was like a nemesis in the face of the chains, and was constantly suppressed.

Raven stood at the bow of the ship, her face obscured by her hood.

She simply maintained the open-finger position calmly, as if she were manipulating a marionette.

Under Black Canary's subconscious control, the speedboat gradually slowed down and came to a stop on the water not far from the cargo ship.

Barbara was still in a state of extreme shock, staring blankly at the scene before her that defied all expectations.

One of Gotham's most powerful vampire guardians—Black Adam, who possesses the power of the gods—was so easily imprisoned by Raven?
Raven tilted her head slightly, then her gaze returned to Black Adam, who was struggling violently but whose chains were becoming tighter and tighter.

She slowly closed her outstretched fingers.

As she moved, the chains binding Black Adam tightened suddenly, making a teeth-grinding "creaking" sound.

"Well--!"

Black Adam's struggle abruptly stopped, and his face revealed undisguised pain.

He felt that his divine power, which he was so proud of, was being forcibly taken away by some older and more tyrannical force.

His body and his soul seemed to be about to be devoured by these eerie chains.

As Black Adam struggled, Raven narrowed her eyes.

Then, to the astonishment of Black Canary, Barbara, Harley Quinn, Boo, Vi, and Ceressa, her body transformed into a black shadow and entered Black Adam's body.

Seeing Black Adam's eyes turn purple in an instant as he struggled, Bao Bao immediately realized that Raven's soul had taken over Black Adam's body.

"This...what is this?"

Barbara asked in a dry voice as she stood up, her voice filled with disbelief and horror, her gaze fixed on the eerie purple eyes in the air.

Bao Bao let out a long breath and explained to Barbara, "This is Raven's ability."

"She can get inside other people's bodies, like...like switching cockpits, I've heard my dad say that before."

She shrugged. "When she was just a little kid, she was able to control Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, and forcefully abduct her from the Underworld to the farm to be my dad's cook."

Just as Bao Bao was explaining to everyone, "Black Adam's" body slowly landed on the open ground not far in front of them.

The other person's heavy feet landed with a dull thud, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Raven raised a hand covered in golden arm armor and pointed to the ominous Tower of Wayne in the distance.

“I can sense the most evil aura there, so I suspect that’s the vampire’s lair. I’m now in Black Adam’s body, so I should be able to get in.”

Her purple eyes swept over the crowd again, and she said to them, "Boom, you guys better create some chaos outside and attract attention so that I can better infiltrate and confront the Vampire King."

She wanted to overcome all obstacles and defeat the vampire king in a one-on-one duel.

She wouldn't even consider Nightwing, whom she'd never heard of, a threat.

Although she was a little frustrated because of losing Loki, Tom, and Mark, Raven has now fully recovered.

All she wants to do now is take revenge and then rescue Loki.

After exchanging a few words with Barbara and the others, Raven didn't linger any longer.

She manipulated Heya's body, her knees slightly bent, and the ground beneath her feet instantly shattered like a spiderweb.

Golden lightning flashed again, and with a deafening roar, a sonic boom cloud exploded behind him.

Raven's figure vanished into the darkness in an instant.

After Raven disappeared, Barbara took a deep breath.

She looked around and said to the remaining women, "Let's go, we need to get to work."

A few minutes later, led by Barbara, who was familiar with the terrain, the group arrived at their destination—the rooftop of the Gotham Police Department.

The wind was even more biting here, making it almost impossible for people to stand.

Below lay the city, like a gaping maw of abyss, while in the distance, the crimson outline of the Tower of Venn exuded a chilling sense of oppression in the night.

"That's it!"

Barbara looked toward the center of the rooftop, where a huge metal structure, half-covered by a tarpaulin, stood silently—the Bat Lamp.

The glass lampshade of the bat lamp is shattered, and the outer shell is covered with dents and rust.

Without hesitation, Barbara ripped off the tattered waterproof cloth, revealing the battered lamp body underneath.

Having already prepared, she crouched down and deftly opened the toolbox she carried with her.

Barbara then pried open the metal cover at the back of the lamp, revealing tangled wiring and old electronic components inside.

She took out several specially made light tubes from her tactical backpack and quickly replaced the original core light source inside the lamp.

What kind of light bulb is this?

The black canary asked, while cautiously scanning the street below.

"Ultraviolet lamp tube".

Barbara said without looking up.

Next, she quickly removed the metal filter with the bat logo from the lampshade, then took out a can of quick-drying spray paint from her backpack and sprayed a "Batwoman" logo onto the lampshade.

After finishing everything, she pressed the light switch hard.

"Buzz!"

A deep hum instantly swept across the rooftop.

The bat lamp emitted a pure white light, like a highly condensed pillar of energy with substantial weight.

Like the spear of judgment piercing chaos in mythology, it tore through the night sky above Gotham with an unstoppable and resolute momentum, becoming the most dazzling beacon in this dark land.

Gotham, a city mired in darkness, was utterly awakened at this moment.

Whether it was a survivor huddled in some corner, barely clinging to life, or a vampire waiting to prey, whether numb or bloodthirsty, all beings instinctively and involuntarily raised their heads.

Their gazes were firmly drawn to the beam of light with its halo.

At the same time, the moment the bat lights were projected, it was as if they had ignited a chain reaction.

In several other corners of Gotham City, as if in response, pillars of light suddenly pierced the sky.

The first one comes from the top of an abandoned gantry crane in the port area.

The moment the beam of light illuminated, a lithe figure flashed past its edge.

He raised his hand and fired a signal flare with a bright light towards the densely packed container shadows of the port below, instantly detonating a group of low-level vampires hiding within, who turned to ashes amidst shrill screams.

Gotham's teenage superhero, Duke Thomas, the "Beacon," lit the first lamp.

Immediately afterwards, a second beam of light shot into the sky from the rooftop of a skyscraper in the Diamond District. As the beam illuminated, several precise bursts of gunfire rang out, and several flying vampires attempting to rush towards the light source plummeted to the ground like birds shot down.

A figure wearing a tactical vest and carrying a compound bow appeared and disappeared beside the beam of light—Roy William Harper Jr., the "Arsenal".

A third ray of light tore through the shadow of a church steeple on the Upper West Side.

As the beam of light illuminated, a gleaming arrow silently pierced the head of a vampire sentinel lurking in a nearby clock tower, its body falling with a dull thud.

The figure of the huntress Helena stood like a ghost atop the church cross.

The fourth beam of light erupted at the top of the tallest tower of Arkham Asylum on Naihe Island.

The beam of light swept across the distorted buildings of the asylum below, illuminating the crazed vampires howling and banging against the iron bars behind the windows.

A figure carrying a massive jetpack hovered beside the beam of light, its shoulder-mounted weapon platform automatically locking onto the monsters surging forth below—the Batwing Lucas Fox.

The final beam of light illuminated the top of an inconspicuous water tower near Crime Alley.

There were no sounds of fierce fighting, only a slender black figure standing quietly in the center of the pillar of light.

Cassandra Cain, the girl who will become Batgirl in the future, wears Batman gear and guards the lit Bat-Light.

These five superheroes who lit the Bat-Lanterns are all future Bruce Wayne's assistants.

At this point, the five men had not yet joined Bruce as his right-hand men, but upon seeing the first Bat-Signal light illuminate, they still turned it on despite the danger.

Five enormous beams of light, like five swords piercing the heart of Gotham, rose up from different parts of the city, instantly tearing the night sky above Gotham to shreds.

Barbara, standing at the Gotham Police Department, was instantly stunned by what she saw.

Are there still people in this city like me who haven't given up hope?
"Wow, look at this spectacle! It's even more exciting than the grand finale fireworks at a circus!"

Harley Quinn's shrill laughter rang out as she dramatically waved her baseball bat. "Dear audience, the show is about to begin! Vampire friends in the front row, please prepare your urns!"

A smirk spread across her scarlet lips, her eyes gleaming with the glee of about to violently lash out at the vampire.

As Harley Quinn spoke, countless vampires roared and flew toward the Bat-Lamp.

"Very good, I'm already incredibly thirsty!"

Bao Bao saw the vampire flying over and clapped his fist hard.

Like a swarm of piranhas driven mad by the smell of blood, countless twisted shadows emerged from the dark corners of Gotham.

The sky was filled with dense, flapping shadows, and sharp screeching could almost pierce eardrums.

The vampires stared greedily at the center of the beam of light, like moths drawn to a flame.

Black Canary was already poised to pounce. She took a deep breath, her chest expanding like a resonating chamber, and the concentrated sonic energy compressed in her throat.

The next second, a golden shockwave, visible to the naked eye, erupted from her mouth.

The sound wave, carrying substantial energy with high-frequency vibrations, slammed head-on into the group of a dozen or so vampires who had first rushed to the edge of the rooftop.

"Puff puff!"

The first few vampires to be hit burst open in mid-air, their bodies like balloons detonated from within.

The sound waves cleared a fan-shaped area of ​​airspace in an instant.

However, the number of vampires was simply too great, like an endless black tide.

More monsters, fearless of death, leaped over the shattered remains of their companions, shrieking as they swooped down towards the people on the rooftop.

"It's time for my little darlings to take the stage!"

With a loud scream, she instantly pulled out oddly shaped grenades from her waist and hurled them at the densely packed area of ​​vampires.

Blue arc grenades exploded in mid-air in an area.

The raging blue current instantly wove together into an electric grid covering several meters.

Several vampires at the forefront crashed in, then, as if struck by high voltage, their bodies convulsed and stiffened violently, falling straight down with a burnt smell, landing on their companions below and causing chaos.

Vi, using her boxing gloves, delivered a powerful, unrestrained uppercut that tore through the air from below, slamming it into the chin of a diving vampire.

"Crack!"

The vampire's head snapped back at an eerie angle, its cervical vertebrae snapping instantly.

The immense impact sent its entire body flying backward at an even faster speed than it had come from, knocking over four or five other vampires behind it.

Seresa then summoned "Little Shiba Inu" and unleashed the monsters to slaughter the vampires.

The vampires were smashed by the "Little Shiba Inu" monster, suffering broken bones and bleeding heads.

More vampires flew toward the light pillars of the bat lights.

As a result, it was burned to ashes under the intense ultraviolet light.

The air was thick with an overwhelming stench of blood, and the rooftop of the Gotham Police Department had become a bloody inferno.

Barbara wasn't idle either. Seeing that the number of vampires above her was decreasing, she immediately started working on the bat lamp.

Gritting her teeth, she projected the Bat-Lamp onto Wayne Tower.

Raven believes that this is the vampire's lair, and that they have already infiltrated it. She needs to give Raven some help.

As Barbara turned the beam of light toward Wayne Tower, a few seconds later, the other five beams of light, with astonishing coordination, abruptly changed direction.

Five enormous spears of light tore through the air, emitting a deafening roar, and converged from five different directions with a resolute momentum to destroy all darkness at one point—the Tower of Venn.

Under the focused bombardment of these six beams of judgment light, the glass dome of the Tower of Venn first developed a white-hot core, and then countless spiderweb-like radial cracks spread wildly in all directions at an alarming speed.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

It lasted less than three seconds before the glass dome shattered under the focused bombardment of the six beams of light, sending countless shards of glass crashing down.

On the other side, in the Wayne Tower.

"Black Adam," or rather, the body possessed by Raven's soul, is flying upwards along a spiral staircase entirely made of dark red.

Noticing something, she looked up and was shocked to see a blinding light coming from above the passageway.

The guards closest to the dome didn't even have time to scream before thick white smoke billowed from their bodies, and their skin charred at a visible speed.

Raven stared in shock at the light that brought her a sense of warmth.

It was as if the light before my eyes was not only pure light, but also light that brought me hope.

Encouraged, Raven was filled with energy and continued to move forward.

Using her identity as "Black Adam" as cover, Raven made her way through unimpeded routes and eventually arrived at the deepest corridor of the Tower of Wayne.

At the end of the passage, a metal door, seemingly forged from the solidified darkness itself, stood silently ahead.

This should be the final barrier to the core territory of the Vampire King.

Raven (Black Adam) stopped in front of the door.

She raised her hand, which was covered in golden arm armor, and placed her palm firmly in the center of the doorway, which seemed to absorb all light.

"In the name of the Rock of Eternity, Adam, son of Shazam, requests an audience."

A deep voice sounded as "Black Adam" spoke to the metal door.

At the same time, a golden divine power belonging to Black Adam's origin flowed gently from her palm into the energy channels on the door.

A few seconds later, the door, which seemed to weigh tens of thousands of tons, slid open silently, revealing the darkness inside.

Raven's heart suddenly raced.

She took a deep breath, suppressing all the turbulent emotions within her, and manipulated Black Adam's body, stepping into the darkness.

The door closed silently behind her, shutting out the light from the passageway outside.

Raven's gaze pierced through the darkness, locking onto the shadowy figure deep within the hall.

The opponent was completely shrouded in unfathomable darkness, emanating a terrifying pressure.

That must be the King of Vampires!

Raven forced herself to calm down.

If you want to ambush and kill your opponent with a single, fatal blow, what you need most right now is to stay calm.

Raven gave herself these words of encouragement as she manipulated Black Adam's arm to rise, preparing to unleash her modified Killing Curse.

However, just as she was about to launch her attack, a voice rang out without warning.

"Sister Raven, you're finally here."
