#390 - Constantine the Disgusted
After Zatanna spoke the man's name, all three adults present simultaneously displayed expressions of disgust. Constantine's infamous reputation was evident in his ability to elicit the same reaction from three people with such different personalities.
Truth be told, while this Hellblazer wasn't well-liked, his competence was undeniable. Constantine also possessed another ability that was directly proportional to his competence: the ability to sabotage.
Constantine was an unscrupulous man. His rotten life had given him his own set of principles. He had always regarded the elimination of demons as his duty. If one didn't consider his methods, anyone would think he was a heroic figure like Superman, but that wasn't the case.
He used any means necessary to perform exorcisms. To that end, he would even sacrifice the lives of friends, sacrifice innocent bystanders, and stabbing his companions in the back was commonplace.
If the Constantine who had just debuted became famous in the magic world because of his outstanding magical strength, then the current him was definitely famous for his way of doing things that screwed over everyone. Scumbag was the most suitable title for him.
"What's wrong?" Zatanna was curious about the trio's unanimous reaction.
"I've told you many times, Zatanna, you should stay away from Constantine," her father, Giovanni, said, holding his forehead. "He's not what you see."
"But isn't he a powerful magician?" Zatanna didn't seem to care. "Although I have heard bad rumors about Constantine, at least the Constantine I've seen isn't that bad."
"That's because he wants to get into your pants," Yang Le said for Giovanni, who couldn't bring himself to say it. As an Asgardian, he was more straightforward than usual, and he liked to speak directly.
"Constantine's life is filled with three things: exorcism, cigarettes, and lust. What do you think you can help him with?"
Yang Le's words were too direct, which caused Zatanna's dissatisfaction, so she spoke with an unkind tone.
"I'm recommending my friend to Wonder Woman to help her solve a problem, and who are you? If you can't help, you might as well use a 'mouth-sealing tape'."
Zatanna's last sentence used reverse-speaking magic, just to give Yang Le a small lesson. Don't think that Yang Le in the Asgardian state is big and thick, Zatanna is not afraid, body size does not play any role in front of a magician.
Unfortunately, he was destined to provoke the wrong person. Not to mention that ordinary magic has no effect on demigods, let alone Yang Le, who is a complete god, Yang Le also knows reverse-speaking magic.
Purple magical energy appeared beside Yang Le's head, that was the magic released by Zatanna, but the energy dissipated before it even touched Yang Le. This level of magic cannot affect gods.
Logically speaking, Yang Le is not an orthodox god of the DC universe. DC universe magic may be able to bypass the resistance of gods and affect him, but who made the Supreme God recognize Yang Le's orthodoxy in the DC universe.
This means that after transforming into the Asgardian form several times, Yang Le can not only obtain power from the war godhood of the Marvel universe, but is also slowly eroding the war godhood of the DC universe. I wonder if Ares, who has already had part of his godhood divided by Athena, will have a mental breakdown when he finds out.
"What?" Zatanna's small mouth opened slightly, looking a little cute.
The Zatanna of this universe is only 15 years old at this time. The inexperienced her has obviously not encountered opponents of the god type, so she naturally does not know the resistance of gods to magic, so she was very surprised when she saw that her magic had no effect.
"Don't be rude, Zatanna!" Giovanni hurriedly reprimanded, and at the same time took a step forward, seemingly to reprimand his daughter, but in fact to prevent Yang Le from getting angry and attacking because of Zatanna's prank.
Unlike the young Zatanna, Giovanni's vision was still very broad. When dealing with the Joker gang, he could see that the lightning released by Yang Le was definitely not ordinary lightning.
Although Giovanni is a member of the Justice League, he doesn't actually know much about Yang Le, a new member. As a magic measurer, he rarely takes the initiative to learn about things other than his job, but based on the lightning just now, Giovanni speculated that Yang Le is at least a demigod like Diana.
"Don't worry, Giovanni," Yang Le waved his hand. "I'm not going to argue with a little girl, especially since I was the one who spoke rudely first."
"Thank you for your understanding," Giovanni sighed. If Yang Le's words could keep Zatanna away from Constantine, then it wouldn't matter if they were a little more offensive. In Giovanni's opinion, there was no one more terrifying than Constantine.
After exchanging a few polite words, Yang Le looked at Wonder Woman aside and asked, "What do you say? Are we going to find Constantine, or think of another way?"
Wonder Woman had been in a battle between heaven and man since Yang Le and Zatanna had a small episode. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said.
"Let's go find Constantine. If I can get revenge, I can pay any price."
"Then let me be responsible for leading the way," Zatanna jumped out from behind her father nimbly. "I happen to have an appointment with Constantine to meet recently, and I think I'm the only one here who knows where he is."
"Zatanna!" Giovanni only felt his blood rushing up. "How come I didn't know you were in contact with that addict! Tell me how long has it been going on!"
Zatanna, who had slipped up, felt bad and hurriedly hid behind Wonder Woman, and gently tugged at the female hero's clothes, begging in a low voice.
"Help me, otherwise I may not be able to take you to find Constantine."
Wonder Woman had no choice but to stop Giovanni and said, "Please, Giovanni, let Zatanna take us there. Trust me, I will take good care of her. If Constantine dares to attack her, I will definitely chop off his outstretched hand."
Giovanni thought for a while and sighed, "Alright then, I believe you, Wonder Woman."
"Thank you so much, Giovanni," Wonder Woman said solemnly.
In fact, Giovanni had his own selfish motives. He wanted to take advantage of the time Zatanna was leading the two to check her room carefully, wanting to see how Constantine contacted his precious daughter without him noticing.
Giovanni vowed that once he found any magical traces, he would use the most vicious curse he knew to counterattack and let that pervert taste the suffering.
Thus, the few people with their own thoughts parted ways. Giovanni hurried home to rummage through boxes and cabinets, while Zatanna took Yang Le and the two to find her confidant Constantine.
"Are you sure Constantine will come here?" Yang Le looked up at the big sign, The Dead Rabbit.
