American comics: Today’s big news Chapter 136

“The final battle has begun…”

Connors was multitasking, using the “Straw Man” that Pandora carried with her to monitor Lex Luthor’s movements, while his own actions didn’t falter in the slightest.

Madame Xanadu was also multitasking, enduring the storm-like onslaught while using her precognitive abilities to foresee the scene there.

——She could foresee the future, and the most accurate method was through contact with people to foresee a clearer future.

And now she was indeed in contact with Connors.

“That Pandora’s Box… they are so crazy, but the more the box is controlled, the easier it is to release the evil within.”

“It’s, it’s like water about to boil, as long as, hiss, please speed up—as long as you heat it up a little…”

Madame Xanadu was comforted into incoherence by Connors, who was good at comforting others.

…

Inside the prison, as seen by both Madame Xanadu and Connors through their respective means.

The three-eyed “Wonder Woman,” holding the Pandora’s Box, thrust her long sword at “Hawkman.”

“Hawkman” was startled. Not to mention the seemingly mind-controlled, murderous “Wonder Woman,” even in her normal state, “Hawkman” wouldn’t dare to take her sword with his flesh.

So he subconsciously jumped back, away from “Wonder Woman,” while “Aquaman” next to him used his trident to block the long sword.

“Heh heh, looks like we have to rely on us, Atlantean! But you have to be careful…”

“Frankenstein” tried to step forward to help “Aquaman,” while saying.

But “Wonder Woman’s” flying kick sent “Frankenstein’s” chin flying up, and the rest of his words got stuck in his throat.

“Back off!”

“Hawkman” roared, and after taking a step back, he flapped his wings, and the giant axe in his hand shone brightly, raising it high above his shoulder and swinging it at “Wonder Woman.”

With “Hawkman” holding her back, the Dark Justice League’s “Black Orchid” transformed her hands into tentacles, quickly wrapping around the Pandora’s Box.

“No, Black Orchid, don’t touch that Pandora’s Box!” “Stargirl” shouted a reminder.

But in the almost less than a second that the two of them were delayed, “Wonder Woman” had already knocked “Hawkman” away with an elbow strike, and forced “Aquaman” back with her guarding bracelets.

“Stop!” Pandora shouted anxiously.

She almost subconsciously reached into her pocket to take out the scarecrow given to her by Connors—the “Straw Man.”

Pandora knew that Connors could use the “Straw Man” to display part of his main body’s strength, and she had witnessed it with her own eyes.

When “Monster Thompson” was wreaking havoc on the world, Connors had used dozens of “Straw Man” clones to cooperate with his main body to unleash a punch.

Pandora couldn’t estimate the exact power of that punch, but she knew that the aftermath alone caused violent earthquakes and tsunamis.

Pandora felt that if the “Straw Man” unleashed that level of attack, it would be enough to stop the riot in front of her and take the Pandora’s Box back into her hands.

So she took out the “Straw Man,” muttering to herself:

“Connors, I know you can hear my voice, please help me…”

But before the “Straw Man” could respond, a bolt of magic lightning fell from the sky, blasting a large hole in the prison where Lex Luthor was held.

In the blue and white lightning, “Shazam,” wearing a red battle suit and a white cloak, descended from the sky.

“Shazam? You came just in time!—No, you shouldn’t be here!” Aquaman’s words took several turns.

“That bastard Constantine wanted to play me, steal my power, but I had the help of the ‘Outsider,’ so that kid didn’t succeed.”

Shazam’s body crackled with blue and white lightning, and he slowly landed on the ground, saying:

“Zatanna said, the more Constantine doesn’t want you to do something, the more you should do it… he doesn’t want me to interfere, but I insist on joining the game, and you seem to need me very much.”

“Wonder Woman” was still holding the Pandora’s Box in one hand and the Sword of Hephaestus in the other, and she looked at Shazam with murderous intent:

“Don’t make it sound so good, Shazam, I know the real reason you’re back! You’re here to steal this power, you want to take it for yourself!”

Shazam rushed towards Wonder Woman, his fists, which were as big as Wonder Woman’s head, clenched tightly.

“Be careful, Shazam, that thing has done something to her.” Hawkman kindly reminded him.

“Tch, I’m not afraid of her.” Shazam dismissed Hawkman’s reminder.

Zatanna and Pandora stood together, looking at Shazam with some fear:

“This isn’t right… if Shazam touches the Pandora’s Box, who else can deal with it?”

Pandora almost instantly took out Connors’ “Straw Man.”

Zatanna also took one out in response.

The two women looked at each other:

“How do you have this too?”

The next second, the two of them were blown away by the aftermath of the battle between “Shazam” and “Wonder Woman.”

One held the Pandora’s Box, with scarlet lightning-like energy blooming around her, and the other carried blue and white magic lightning.

The two people’s fists and feet collided, and the strong wind swept everything around them, completely shattering Lex Luthor’s transparent prison.

“Superman should have killed you in Kahndaq!”

The “Wonder Woman” corrupted by the Pandora’s Box showed no mercy in her words or actions, and every move was aimed at taking the other’s life.

Shazam ignored all of this, and he recklessly clashed head-on with “Wonder Woman,” stomping his feet on the ground, creating an impact that made “Wonder Woman” unsteady, while sending a punch over.

“Wonder Woman” was knocked away, and the Pandora’s Box she was holding fell to the ground.

“Shazam” reached out and caught the Pandora’s Box, and the blue and white lightning on his body was instantly replaced by scarlet, and the corners of his mouth gradually widened:

“…It’s mine now.”

“Shazam—!”

He raised the Pandora’s Box high, shouting a magic spell, but this was not to undo the transformation, but to turn the scarlet battle suit on his body black.

Scarlet light bloomed all over the world, with power far exceeding when the Pandora’s Box was in “Wonder Woman’s” hands.

Deadman, Doctor Fate, Swamp Thing, Zatanna, Constantine…

The magic-side superheroes of this world almost simultaneously held their heads in their hands, with scarlet light shining in their eyes.

Even Madame Xanadu, who was using her verbal skills to try to disarm Connors, showed the same state.

“…Small Trick + Precise Manipulation + Amplification + Grandmaster Locksmith + Healing Magic!”

Connors was startled, and a series of abilities were used before he could even think.

“Atom-Girl,” who was sitting on Connors’ shoulder, was also startled, and her already small body immediately became smaller than a grain of sand, hugging her head and running away.

“Ugh—”

Madame Xanadu, poked by the sudden swelling and inelastic foreign object in her mouth, gagged, and the scarlet light covering her eyes cleared up a bit.
