American comics: Today’s big news Chapter 144

“Resurrect! My… uh, wrong incantation.”

“Shazam!!”

Connors roared to the sky, and a bolt of magical lightning descended from the sky, striking the urn of Black Adam’s ashes.

The ashes that had just been collected by Madame Xanadu were once again scattered.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, and the ashes, “Black Adam,” clad in a black battle suit, draped in a black cloak, with a large lightning symbol on his chest, was resurrected.

“Wow~ this guy can really be resurrected?” Harley said, clapping her hands with a look of excitement.

“Harley, you shouldn’t have exposed me just now,” Poison Ivy complained from the side.

She and Harley had been busy for so long, but they hadn’t tasted the fruits of their labor themselves, and she was feeling a little irritable.

“Don’t worry~ Ivy, we’ll find a chance to drag that Madame Xanadu to juicing,” Harley said with a grin.

“Atom-Eve”, who was sitting on Connors’ shoulder, was originally watching Black Adam, who had just been resurrected from the ashes with electric light flashing in his eyes, but upon hearing Harley’s words, she immediately shrank her head.

She turned her head cautiously, looking at Harley Quinn and Ivy and asked:

“What do you mean by juicing…?”

Her little brain had already begun to imagine the terrifying scenes in the slaughterhouse, and she couldn’t help but shudder.

Although “Atom-Eve” was also ruthless and cruel when she was in the “Crime Syndicate,” she had never done such a thing.

“Juicing those that Madame Xanadu ate just now,” Ivy explained expressionlessly.

Although “Poison Ivy” Ivy’s attitude was not good, “Atom-Eve” patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief:

“You scared me to death.”

Crack!

With a thunderous roar, “Atom-Eve”’s little heart, which had just calmed down, was frightened into a frantic thumping again.

Black Adam floated in the air, looking down at Connors:

“The guardian of Kahndaq has returned… What do you want to do to Kahndaq?”

He didn’t recognize Connors, but he knew at a glance that he was in Kahndaq.

“You ungrateful bastard,” Connors smiled at Black Adam, “I am the savior who resurrected you.”

Black Adam didn’t care whether Connors was the benefactor who resurrected him:

“No matter who you are, get out of Kahndaq immediately.”

Connors still greeted him with a smile:

“Say another word, and I’ll turn you back into ashes.”

So Black Adam swooped down, kicking towards Connors with a flying kick.

“See, you’re not listening, are you?” Connors didn’t even bother to look at him, and slightly adjusted his stance with “Precision Control.”

The “Mimicry” ability was instantly used, transforming his appearance into that of Black Adam.

“Shazam!”

The voice Connors shouted was exactly the same as Black Adam’s, and the sky instantly lit up like daylight, with magical lightning falling again.

Under Connors’ “Precision Control” stance, the magical lightning struck Black Adam without deviation.

“Ugh ah!”

Black Adam let out a scream, his body transformed from the “Black Adam” state into an ordinary person, and then quickly turned into ashes.

The scene of his battle with Shazam reappeared—this is also why Shazam brought Black Adam’s ashes to Kahndaq even though he doesn’t kill people.

“Shazam!”

Connors dispelled the “Mimicry” ability before the ashes landed, and shouted the magic keyword again.

Before the previous magical lightning had completely dissipated, a new magical lightning descended again.

Black Adam was resurrected again.

“I will kill—”

“Shazam!”

Black Adam turned into ashes again.

“Shazam!”

The re-resurrected Black Adam floated in the air, looking at Connors without moving, his eyes filled with ferocity and a hint of hidden fear.

He felt as if his life and death were completely controlled in Connors’ hands.

He felt…

“Shazam!”

“Shazam!”

…*N

Connors didn’t care what Black Adam was thinking, seeing that fierce look, he knew that this unlucky child was still not convinced, so he shouted a series of “Shazam.”

In order to cooperate with the use of magic spells, Connors also kept using “Mimicry,” switching his image back and forth between Black Adam and himself.

Black Adam died and lived, lived and died, and after repeating the failed resistance several times, he gradually became numb, and even yawned once after being resurrected.

Harley, Ivy, Atom-Eve, Madame Xanadu: “ರ_ರ…”

They had thought that after Black Adam was resurrected, he and Connors would erupt in conflict, and might even fight until the sky turned dark.

But the scene before them was really weird:

In order to ensure that every time Black Adam was resurrected, he could still make the magic lightning strike him, Connors had been using “Precision Control” to adjust his stance.

Black Adam had tried to fly away immediately after being resurrected, but Connors even used a bug, only uttering half a word when Black Adam had not fully resurrected, and only shouting “zam” after he was fully resurrected.

The magic lightning always struck Black Adam’s head accurately.

“If I changed into a Taoist robe now and held a horsetail whisk in my hand, I would be a proper Taoist using the Five Thunder Righteous Method…”

Connors thought to himself, entertaining himself, and the “Shazam” in his mouth didn’t stop.

The sky was surging with lightning and thunder, and the dark clouds piled up layer by layer, and it was even raining heavily at this time.

Black Adam couldn’t bear it anymore, and in the repeated deaths and resurrections, he managed to squeeze out a sentence using this extremely short gap:

“Enough! I! Know! Who! You! Are!”

Since he was always dispelled of his transformation by magic lightning as soon as he was resurrected, Black Adam could only squeeze out one word each time.

“Remember who I am?” Connors asked with a smile, greeting him kindly after resurrecting Black Adam again.

“Yes. You’re really a bastard,” Black Adam said, gritting his teeth.

“Shazam!”* 2

“Enough!” Black Adam was almost going crazy, “You’ve struck me to death so many times, can’t I even scold you?”

“No, Shazam!”

Black Adam turned into a pile of ashes again. When he was resurrected again, he seemed to be rushing towards Connors with the idea of perishing together, trying to make the magic lightning strike both of them at the same time.

But this time, Connors did not continue to play tricks and use the magic word “Shazam” to dispel Black Adam’s transformation.

“Enlarge” “Human Limit” punched out, colliding with Black Adam’s fist.

The force generated by the collision of the fists immediately blew Madame Xanadu away, but before she could really fly far, “Poison Ivy” extended vines and tied her up.

“Atom-Eve” hugged her head, covered her ears, and shrank into Connors’ collar, her head dizzy from the continuous sounds of magic lightning strikes.

Harley Quinn, on the other hand, regarded this as a fireworks show, groping around Connors, trying to take out her phone for a selfie.

But there were no electronic products on Connors’ body. Harley Quinn groped in vain, but instead faced the fist collision between Connors and Black Adam at close range.

Harley did not retreat. She stomped hard on the ground, and half of her body was already embedded in the soil, firmly fixing herself.

“Black Adam, can you calm down now?”

Connors’ punch sent Black Adam flying thousands of meters away, but he didn’t let Black Adam find a chance to leave, but stood in front of him like a shadow.

Half of Black Adam’s body was buried in sand and gravel. He raised his head and saw Connors looking down at him condescendingly.

“Kahndaq… will never submit to someone like you,” Black Adam said, gritting his teeth.

“…Who cares about your Kahndaq? Just protect it,” Connors said, “A bastard from another universe wants to occupy this planet, and I want to win over a group of people to stop him.”

“What about the Justice League?”

Black Adam had already died before the “Three-Body War,” so naturally he didn’t know the series of events that followed.

“They’re dead.”
