American comics: Today’s big news Chapter 164

“What are you looking at me for? I only know how to pick locks, you guys are the main force.”

Besides “Black Adam” lying on the ground, Luther, Black Manta, and Captain Cold all looked at Connors.

They had all directly or indirectly received help from Connors, and had also witnessed Connors save the world once from “Monster Thompson”.

Even Luther thought that Connors was planning to personally lead them to crusade against the “Crime Syndicate”.

“Okay, the first thing to do now is to treat this guy’s injuries…” Lex Luther said.

He pointed to “Black Adam” lying on the ground, still spitting water from his mouth:

“We need to find a place to rest and then go to Wayne Enterprises headquarters in Gotham… Theoretically, can electricity cure this guy?”

Captain Cold had a different opinion:

“Don’t know, but I think the first thing is to find a place for me to make a cold gun that can freeze the ‘Crime Syndicate’s’ heads into ice cubes.”

“I heard that ‘Johnny Quick’ of the ‘Crime Syndicate’ is running around the world, I want to start killing him first,” Black Manta said.

The three standing people had three opinions, and “Black Adam” lying on the ground was not even conscious, so naturally he didn’t express any opinions.

“Let’s vote, Bizarro and I have two votes, let’s find a place to settle down first,” Lex Luther said.

Captain Cold and Black Manta looked at each other, unless they could wake up “Black Adam” on the spot, otherwise the two of them together would have the same number of votes as Luther.

“Since you have no objections, then do as I say,” Lex Luther easily gained the right to speak in this “Injustice League”.

“Two things can be done simultaneously, find a place with a lot of electrical appliances, you treat Black Adam, and I will make a cold gun,” Captain Cold compromised.

About an hour later, they were standing in a hidden repair station in the southwestern suburbs of Metropolis.

Black Adam was lying on a platform, and since the whole world was out of power, Lex Luther had to use his armor to continuously discharge electricity to heal “Black Adam”.

The sound of electric current kept ringing, and blue and white electric current also emerged from Black Adam’s eyes and mouth.

Black Manta stood aside with his arms crossed, watching Lex Luther, while Connors curiously touched Black Manta’s armor:

“What were you thinking, making such a big head?”

Black Manta’s armor had no major problems below the neck, but the helmet on his head was a large oval shape, with two equally oval eyes.

Plus the two pipes on top of the helmet connecting to a device behind him suspected of filtering oxygen from seawater, it looked like a red-headed fly.

Black Manta: “…”

Lex Luther was still continuously discharging electricity to “Black Adam”, and the crackling sound made Captain Cold irritable:

“Luther, can your electrotherapy stop for a while? It’s so noisy that my ears are about to explode, I have to concentrate!”

Lex Luther stopped his movements and looked at Captain Cold:

“Captain, you didn’t even graduate from high school, but you’re making cryogenic weapons here? Are you sure you’re not kidding?”

“Aww, aww, aww.” Bizarro quickly echoed.

“From the moment I first held the ice gun, I spent two months constantly disassembling and reassembling it until I could do it with my eyes closed,” Captain Cold said.

“This thing is useless to us,” Black Manta said.

Captain Cold retorted mercilessly in the face of Black Manta’s ridicule:

“There are ‘speedsters’ like the Flash in the Crime Syndicate… Based on my experience dealing with the Flash, my gun is more useful than you, Black Manta.”

He picked up the cold gun that he had finished assembling with the help of the repair station’s parts.

“Your gun will paralyze their sense of pain, I don’t like that,” Black Manta said.

“You’re out of your mind,” Captain Cold looked at Black Manta.

“Cough cough…” Black Adam’s voice sounded, and Lex Luther stopped the electric shock.

Luther removed his discharging palm from “Black Adam’s” chest:

“From the results of the Syndicate’s actions that I have observed so far, even the strongest ‘Ultraman’ has weaknesses.”

“He has been absorbing kryptonite to replenish energy and avoid direct sunlight, his weaknesses are easier to exploit than ‘Superman’.”

“Then exploit his weaknesses, cough cough, and screw him,” Black Adam said.

“So, Black Adam is in too?” Captain Cold inserted the cold gun into his waist, “It seems we can do something big, Luther.”

“No, the time is not yet ripe, we have to go to Gotham,” Luther said, “I have to install the last module on my armor.”

“Outsider, your black smoke cloak seems to be able to change shape, are you interested in turning into a flying carpet or something to send us to Gotham?”

Luther looked at Connors, he did not let go of any resources that could be used at the moment.

“Not interested, you can advance towards the city from the sewers outside Gotham, I’m here just to make sure you don’t start infighting before dealing with the Syndicate.”

Connors said, and then his body changed from a normal human appearance to a plant-like humanoid, and fell to the ground.

Captain Cold kicked the plant dummy with his foot and wondered:

“When did this guy turn into a dummy?… No, has the ‘Outsider’ who has been by our side always been fake?”

“I think so too,” Lex Luther said.

“This is a dummy. Atom Smasher is not on him,” Black Adam said.

The first thing he saw after waking up was Connors, and he immediately judged that this was a “plant person”.

“Never mind that now, since Black Adam is awake, I think we can leave immediately.”

“Target, Gotham Wayne headquarters.”

…

In front of Lex Luther, Connors used “Straw Man”, leaving the dummy in place to prevent them from fighting each other, and his real body flew to San Francisco.

Since the “Forever Evil” event in this world was promoted by himself, some people and some things cannot be completely advanced according to the plot of the comics.

For example, the “Teen Titans” team, which should have appeared when “Johnny Quick” left the Justice League Watchtower, did not appear.

Connors came to San Francisco to guide the “Teen Titans” to confront “Johnny Quick”, and send them all to the future with his own hands.

“According to normal circumstances, ‘Nightwing’, who is also a member of the ‘Teen Titans’, was captured, and the Teen Titans would go to rescue him no matter what…”

Connors muttered to himself in confusion, he couldn’t figure out why the Teen Titans hadn’t been dispatched until now.

He did not enter the “Teen Titans” base openly, but used the magic he learned from Madame Xanadu to turn his body into nothingness and walked in silently.

“I have observed that ‘Cyborg’ has arrived at the ‘Metal Men’ laboratory.”

“The Rogues are in Metropolis, fighting with the ‘Parasite’ sent by the ‘Syndicate’ to kill them, and there are also two Harleys on the scene.”

“Lex Luther hid twenty-six satellites in the asteroid belt, but this can’t hide from me, the ‘Injustice League’ composed of Luther, Black Adam, Black Manta, Captain Cold, and Superman’s clone is also in action.”

“We originally thought that the ‘Suicide Squad’ would be a good helper, but another Harley, who is completely different from the ‘Harley Quinn’ we know, has made a mess of the Rocky Mountains – and these two Harleys are already with the Rogues.”

“Although the ‘Suicide Squad’ is not familiar with us, ‘Power Girl’ is performing tasks with them, and ‘Deadshot’ and ‘Captain Boomerang’ will also be a great help to us.”

“Although my observation results cannot show it, all of the above actions are aimed at the ‘Outsider’.”

“If the ‘Crime Syndicate’ can even kill the Justice League, it’s useless for us to go with our current strength… We have to unite these guys who are still fighting against the Syndicate, and it’s best to directly contact the ‘Outsider’.”

“Red Robin” Tim Drake, the founder and captain of the “Teen Titans”, said to all the members of the Teen Titans present.

They have not taken action so far, not because they do not plan to rescue “Nightwing”.

On the contrary, after quickly observing the battle situation around the world, they decisively chose to stand still and unite the “Injustice League”, “Suicide Squad”, “Rogues”, and “Outsider” to wipe out the Syndicate.

“I said that the ‘Forever Evil’ in this world has not caused a butterfly effect due to some changes caused by me, which is a bit incredible…”

Connors’ illusory body slowly materialized, and he appeared in front of the “Teen Titans”:

“If I had come one step later, maybe you would have really contacted other people, and the butterfly effect would have taken advantage of the situation.”

“No need for you to find, the ‘Outsider’ has already come.”

Connors’ sudden appearance really startled these teenagers and girls, but “Red Robin” Tim asked anxiously:

“Outsider? Since you have also appeared, after we rescue ‘Nightwing’, we can fight the ‘Crime Syndicate’ to the last breath.”

“Your tone is really like Batman,” “Superboy”, one of the members of the Teen Titans, said to Red Robin.

“And you should have a Superman look, not just ‘Superboy’,” Red Robin said.

Next to them, “Wonder Girl”, wearing a bright red strapless battle suit and gold arm guards, saw Connors appear and her eyes lit up:

“They are the evil version of the Justice League, but if everyone unites, we will definitely be able to wipe out the Syndicate, Mr. Outsider.”

A girl named “Aura”, whose whole body was like a black starry sky, said:

“Please give the order, Outsider.”

The girl “Raven” also stepped forward:

“You should have heard our analysis of the world’s battle situation just now, as Robin said, we need your guidance, Outsider.”

What’s with the extraordinary respect for me… Connors looked at the “Teen Titans” composed of Red Robin, Superboy, Wonder Girl, Impulse, Aura, and Raven.

“Are you missing someone? Besides ‘Nightwing’,” Connors asked.

“Yes, ‘Power Girl’ is out performing Amanda’s mission, and we are already contacting her to return here,” Red Robin replied.

That’s right, there is a little fan girl of his own like “Power Girl” in the “Teen Titans”, and it seems that she has infected others as well.

“Red Robin” is okay, after all, he is Batman’s person, but the other teenagers and girls obviously have not experienced Gotham’s baptism, and their eyes are extremely enthusiastic about Connors’ arrival.

They are “superheroes” themselves, but obviously in their hearts, they regard “Outsider” Connors as a hero among heroes.

“I was originally planning to send you to the future,” Connors said truthfully, “But your eyes… Alas, I’m soft-hearted.”

“Your plan is not perfect, how can the ‘Injustice League’, ‘Suicide Squad’, and ‘Rogues’ be enough?”

“Let’s make it more lively.”

Connors said, raising his right hand, the “Justice Society” ring is still on his hand.

“But one thing to note, the Injustice League is enough to deal with just a ‘Crime Syndicate’, villains vs. villains is the biggest highlight of this event.”

“The Justice League’s opponents have all been released from prison, and their destruction to cities and ordinary people is no less than that of the ‘Crime Syndicate’.”

“Your opponent is the ‘Secret Society of Super Villains’.”

Connors learned about the “Teen Titans’” plan, and looking at these people except for “Red Robin” who was a bit unruly, and the others who had more or less admiration for him, he also changed his plan.

Anyway, they are all eating melons, the more superheroes participate, the stronger the strength, the better the melon-eating rewards, there is no need to follow the previous misunderstanding of “must follow the plot of the comics” and forcibly promote the plot.

As long as the general direction of “villains vs. villains” is guaranteed to be correct, other places can be fully utilized.

He even felt that there were not enough people… mainly because there were not enough people with real strength, and he decided to shake some more people over.

So he used “Magnify” and “Dream Relics” in front of the “Teen Titans”.

…

“If we died once to save this city, then we can die again.”

“You may not know, but in Coast City… there is a price to pay for crime.”

“Let justice prevail!”

In the dreamlike memory, Connors once again saw the scene in Coast City, where the “Justice Society” decided to sacrifice themselves and rushed forward.

Cat-Man, Black Siren, Johnny Quick, Tom Turbine, and Green Lantern appeared one after another in the “Teen Titans’” base.

“Thompson! It must be you who resurrected us again!” Green Lantern’s ring quickly bloomed with light, protecting everyone present.

“Protect these kids!” Johnny Quick flashed in front of the “Teen Titans”.

“Whether it is in Coast City or not, there is a price to pay for crime, Thompson… huh? Connors?!” Tom Turbine said halfway, and his squinting eyes widened instantly when he saw Connors.

Green Lantern also found that these teenagers and girls did not seem to need protection, and there was no danger around for the time being, so he removed the protective shield.

Johnny Quick stood next to “Impulse”, he looked at the other person in a daze:

“Flash? How did you become a kid?”

“He is Impulse… Monster Thompson has disappeared, and a new threat has appeared this time,” Connors said with a smile, “Johnny Quick, Cat-Man, Black Siren, and everyone, long time no see.”

Black Siren was still dressed in a black strapless battle suit and a conjoined black silk, and she saw the “J.S” ring on Connors’ raised right hand was exceptionally eye-catching:

“Long time no see.”
