**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!"
