American comics: Today’s big news Chapter 061

“We have new threats. They wear different costumes, but they possess the same astonishing power.”

“Just like our enemy, the Justice Society.”

At a rectangular table, members of the Injustice Society sat on either side, with Connors casually taking the head seat.

Upon learning that Connors had declared war on the Justice Society, they accepted the reality after a half-day of uproar and told Connors:

“In that case, you should join our Injustice Society.”

They had just desperately tried to stop Connors, thinking he was an undercover agent, but upon learning there were ten enemies outside, they immediately recruited him.

At this moment, Music Meister stood up and eloquently analyzed:

“If they only come in pairs, instead of swarming in, with our wisdom and strength, we can definitely take down this Justice Society.”

“But today you gained nothing and were played by the Justice Society like this basketball.” The Athlete said, spinning a basketball on his fingertip.

“It was clearly me who easily escaped from the Justice Society; they had no way to stop me!” Music Meister seemed a bit anxious.

Slap!

The basketball in the Athlete’s hand was shot by an ice arrow, and one of the Injustice Society members, Doctor Blizzard, stood up:

“Don’t provoke, Athlete. You should be thinking about your crime method now.”

“Do you want to try, Doctor Blizzard?” The Athlete threw away the shriveled basketball in his hand and, with a flick of his wrist, pulled out a boomerang from behind his butt.

As soon as the boomerang was pulled out, it turned into a bouquet of flowers. The Athlete held the flowers, looking stunned, and Sir Swami, sitting next to him, retracted his staff:

“Stop arguing.”

After speaking, Sir Swami stood up, a head shorter than everyone else:

“If they are dispersed, then we should thank Connors for this opportunity. This will be a good time for us to defeat the Justice Society.”

“I suggest a competition, how about it? Let’s see who can come up with the most bizarre crime in the development of the five ancient elements: ‘metal, plant, water, fire, earth’.”

“The ultimate winner can receive the honor of destroying the Justice Society and become the leader of our Injustice Society.”

Connors had no objection to this, only casually mentioning:

“By the way, the crime locations have also been set for you: east, west, north, south, and center of Coast City. Also, the water element crime will be handled by me.”

These words made the Injustice Society, which had just quieted down, erupt again:

“Why did you arrange everything?”

“Are you going to say next that you even arranged our crime methods?”

“Still saying you’re not an undercover agent for the Justice Society?”

“Why should we follow your plan?”

Connors was indifferent:

“Whatever you want, anyway, that’s what the declaration of war says. If you go back on your word, I definitely won’t laugh at you.”

Injustice Society: “…”

They had always prided themselves as master criminals, always playing the Justice Society for fools. They never expected someone to suddenly pop up and arrange everything for them so clearly.

Watching the four members of the Injustice Society deflate, Connors said with a chuckle:

“Don’t worry, your crime plans are yours to execute. I’m not that kind-hearted.”

“This guy is definitely not a member of the Justice Society, even if he is, he must have been expelled.” Sir Swami said weakly.

“More than that, you should quickly prepare your crime plans. The Justice Society is probably already on their way.”

Connors was referring to the five directions he had arranged in advance, but the Injustice Society members clearly misunderstood:

“Still saying you didn’t lead the Justice Society here?!”

…

“I once studied this knowledge. These five elements are called the Five Phases, and the corresponding five directions are East for Wood, South for Fire, Center for Earth, West for Metal, and North for Water.”

“Clearly, the Five Phases are just clues. They wouldn’t personally steal fire like Prometheus, and this isn’t Olympus anyway.”

“Analyzing the Injustice League’s crime plans specifically based on the directions and corresponding elements—that task is up to you, since you’re more familiar with Coast City.”

Batman hadn’t spoken much since arriving in Coast City. He had been observing the environment, observing the Justice Society.

But now, facing the villains’ provocation, he wouldn’t sit idly by, fully utilizing his brain to analyze.

“I know about the fire in the South. There’s the Coast City Museum there, and its most prized possession is called the ‘Flame of Kraspoton,’ a priceless ruby.”

“Velocity” was very familiar with Coast City and quickly came up with the answer after thinking.

“I’ll go with you,” Barry said.

“Great, it’s a good chance for us to compete too. Let’s see whose speed is faster?”

The two “Speedsters” immediately used the Speed Force and raced towards the south of Coast City.

When they arrived, Sir Swami happened to be walking out of the museum with the ruby necklace.

“I can let him run ten thousand meters first,” Velocity said to Barry.

“I can let him run for a while first,” Barry said meaningfully.

In the west of Coast City, at the entrance of the Coast City Bank.

The burly man Tom Turbine and Superman Clark stood there, like two guardian deities.

Inside the door, Doctor Blizzard froze the entire vault, then created an ice path on the ground, sliding all the way out.

But as soon as he stepped out, the sun above his head was obscured. Two powerfully built men flew in the air, electricity and heat vision shooting down.

In the east of Coast City, there was a whole protected forest of rare trees.

Batman and Catman drove their respective vehicles. In front of them, Music Meister’s flute-shaped car hood stretched and transformed, attempting to rush into the forest.

But the Batmobile’s grappling hook rendered Music Meister’s vehicle immobile, and Catman even blew up all its tires, tying it to the sidecar of his motorcycle.

In the center of Coast City, Green Guardian and Green Lantern were rapidly disarming bombs. The crime extended from the earth element: The Athlete intended to blow up all the buildings located here, causing them to collapse into the soil.

Green Guardian’s constructs leaned more towards creating various strange and unique tools. For instance, at this moment, he had created anti-blast barrels, encasing the bombs inside.

And Green Lantern Hal, meanwhile, conjured energy shields, choosing to protect the civilians of Coast City.

However, as he used more energy, Hal’s spirit grew increasingly weak. Then, clutching his head, he roared and fell from the sky.

In a daze, he saw a violent explosion engulf the city, turning the entire urban area into ruins, not even a single blade of grass remaining.

In the north of Coast City, in a private swimming pool.

The villa belonging to this pool was empty, and Connors unceremoniously occupied it, waiting for “Catwoman” Selina and the blonde beauty “Black Siren.”

“There are many types of crime: arson, destruction, murder, robbery… and I don’t belong to any of them.”

“Welcome to the crime of water. By the way, the water I’m talking about isn’t the water in the swimming pool.”
