Gotham is free—physically, practically, and irrefutable and ineffective by anyone.

But one can imagine how much chaos it would bring about for a megacity on the East Coast of the United States to disappear into thin air.

If you change the city, the chaos will definitely happen more inside the city, although the people outside are busy and anxious, but it is useless, but after all, this is Gotham, and the Gotham people are not in a hurry at all.

While many of the ordinary citizens of Gotham who didn't vote were a little surprised that they were flying into the sky with the sun side by side, after the initial shock, the first thing they did was open Google Maps and laugh at their slow map updates.

Compared to the tragedy staged in such a dark city, there is nothing unacceptable about the whole city flying into the sky, even if they are going to fall to their death in the next second, at least they can be busy and happy for a second because of this absurd fact and imagining others.

It's not that there will be less chaos when they live on the ground, at least this time there will be a large group of people who will be with them to have a headache for chaos, and with that, the Gotham people will dream and laugh tonight.

So Gotham's biggest victim isn't Gotham, or even the federal government, and God knows how long those politicians thought about making the city, which had driven up the nation's crime rate, disappear.

Gotham people can have the status of the coolest city in the world, the federal government no longer has to worry about the fact that the crime rate in the United States still has room to rise, and Gotham's neighbors no longer have to worry about crazy people rushing out of the city or being polluted by Gotham's outrageous climate.

In that case, it's a good thing that Gotham is physically independent, but the biggest victim of this is the Owl Court.

And to talk about the Owl Court in detail, we have to mention the famous metal event in DC Comics and its antecedents, that is, how the Batknights of the Dark Multiverse came to the main universe.

The main culprit of this is the Owl Court, or rather, the Barbatos of Judah, who are behind the control of the Owl Court.

DC Comics spent a long time paving the way for the big metal event, and the prospect was too complicated, but anyway, Batman in the main universe learned about the existence of metal for various reasons, and then began to investigate, but in fact, all this is a conspiracy of the Owl Court, in order to lure Batman to the base of the Owl Court, and then use his blood to open the door to the dark multiverse to complete Barbatos' plan to invade the multiverse.

In another comic, Batman is also lured to the Owl Base, trapped in a huge maze from which he cannot escape.

The point of this story is that the Owl Court spent a long time making a huge labyrinth under Gotham, which can even make Batman lose himself to a certain extent, which shows the amount of work and the grandeur of the construction results.

Of course, in order to make Batman capsize in the gutter, it must be hidden enough, and in fact, the way to maximize the concealment effect of an underground maze is to build it as deep as possible.

Due to the fact that it was not only the physical forces that were used to unravel this labyrinth, but also the occult elements, the base of the Owl Court was built very deep underground, and it was quite strong, and after so many generations of resources invested, this labyrinth can be called impregnable and impregnable.

As a result, the entire city of Gotham didn't take it with them, because it was a bit too deep and heavy for the maniacs' activation circle to pull it in.

But Gotham took the ceiling of the labyrinth away.

It was taken away in a physical sense, and the take-off Gotham directly lifted the skull of the huge labyrinth that the owl had worked so hard to work on, and the upper part of the ceiling was all lifted into the air with Gotham, and the ravines and ravines below were all left.

As a result, the Owl Court is now facing a very awkward situation: the vast majority of the members of the Owl Court, the old Gotham aristocracy, are active in the city when Gotham takes off.

The Council of Owls, the believers of Judah, and some of the owl sacrifices were all left in the labyrinth underground.

When the news of Gotham's disappearance spread around the world, the federal government and the FBI privately wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate each other's departure, but the face project still had to be done.

Faced with such a major event as the sudden disappearance of a city, of course, the FBI, the Guard, the Navy, the Army, and the Air Force all came into battle, and it didn't take long to enclose Gotham's original land.

If, at this moment, an open-air underground labyrinth suddenly appeared in a place where there should have been nothing, and there was a group of sneaky, thief-eyed, and incapable people who couldn't do anything good at first sight indulging in their shock and couldn't move, who else could the federal government put on the pot?

Anyway, they are just trying to give the people an explanation to calm the panic of public opinion, since those people below look so much like a cult, then he is not a cult and a cult, it must be that they have turned the city into nothing, and it is definitely right to arrest and block the muzzle of the reporter.

And because the owls in the underground were completely immersed in the shock of the huge city disappearing over their heads, in the face of the capture of the federal government, they reacted too slowly, plus the federal government sent enough people this time, the army was fully armed, and the dozen or so claws left in the ground couldn't make waves at all.

After a lot of fighting, dozens of them were caught alive, and the others either died or ran away.

After all, the term "open-air underground labyrinth" sounds ridiculous, and now if you want to find out the situation in Gotham, you don't even need a plane, standing on the ground with the street sign intact at the entrance of Gotham City, you can directly see the structure of the entire labyrinth clearly, just like the kind of transparent ruler with a maze and small metal steel balls inside, even if a fool comes, he can use exhaustive methods to understand.

When Batman comes to take a look, hey, a fully transparent maze, you will use this to test your genius?

Therefore, the remaining Jews who have some skills know that they can't do anything, so they can only flee and hide first, so as to prevent them from being arrested by the federal government and falling into the hands of Amanda's stupid woman.

But the members of the Owl Court who remained in the city were not lucky enough.

Of course, they recognize that the dark forces that sent Gotham to the sky and now keep the city running are from the metal they have planted for generations, but there is a problem, the wires and electricity are in the sky, but the main control room and the batteries are left on the ground, so what if there is no power?

The madmen of Gotham have taken a giant city up to the sky on a whim, with their genius and guts enough, and they don't think about how long this energy will last and what to do if it falls if it runs out, or they don't care if it falls or not, and it's cool to die this way, isn't it?

But the members of the Owl Court are different from them, as I said before, most of the members of the Owl Court are either rich or noble in Gotham, some are extremely successful businessmen, some are celebrities who have been in Gotham for many years, and their wealth, power, family, and themselves are all in the city.

If Gotham falls like this, everything they have and their own lives will be wiped out, and they won't be afraid to hell with it.

People who have nothing are not afraid of death, and will try to find themselves as much fun as possible between life and death, but the more they have, the more scruples they have, and take 10,000 steps back and say, now that the plan of the dark god cannot succeed, the eternal life and power promised to them by the believers of Judah will not be gone?

The vast majority of owls except the believers of Judah have no devotion to the dark gods, and the court of owls was born only because the believers of Barbatos promised many benefits to this group of celebrities.

But they also know very well that if Gotham falls now, everything they build in the city will be shattered, all their existing descendants will die, and the family will disappear forever, and they don't want Gotham to fall more than those crazy people.

And so, the absurd, but unusually plausible, situation happened - the members of the Owl Court approached the group of lunatics and demanded that the facilities they maintain the liftoff be maintained immediately, and that they should find more strength to ensure that Gotham does not fall.

Their worries are not unreasonable, although the madmen of Gotham are all evil geniuses, but after all, the time is too short, and the number cannot be compared with all the genius scientists on the Marvel Universe Earth, and the way they took to make Gotham lift into the air is not so subtle, it is completely powerful.

In short, the principle is similar to that of a small device made by the Red Hood, using a portion of the energy from the wizard Felix to create a core pulse machine, and then using the pulses to continuously activate the dark forces in Gotham metal.

It's not that this method can't be used, but the efficiency of the use of dark energy in the metal is too low, just like a toy remote control car that can run through a whole industrial battery, and more than 80% of the energy is wasted in the process of excitation.

The Owl Court saw that it was only a matter of time before Gotham fell headlong if it was wasted like this, even if it was out of the earth's gravity, once the protective shield disappeared, the cosmic environment would be enough to kill them.

At first, they wanted to contact the surface to provide enough energy for Gotham to fly smoothly and land smoothly, but it was clear that the owl priests in the main control room of the underground labyrinth had already died and escaped, and no one could respond to their request.

As a result, the members of the Owl Court had to work overtime to study how to maximize the use of this dark energy so that Gotham could land smoothly before the energy bottomed out.

In the end, the members of the Owl Court, exhausted by their sleepless work, waited in their office not for a savior, but for a green-haired, pale, bloody-mouthed smile.
