Chapter 135 Comforting the Lady of Shangdu
"Outsider, I need your comfort."
Lady Shangdu, who was very good at comforting others, said while holding a small "Kusama Man" in her hand.
"Madam, do you need comfort or are you just lusting after me?" Connors asked suspiciously, doubting the motives of this lady from Shangdu.
She would open her mouth at the drop of a hat in the psychic hut, and even now, though she's been locked up in the underground temple of Hephaestus, she's still thinking about getting me to come over.
"Pfft, I bet she's craving a chicken after losing it at the psychic hut," Atomic Girl chuckled.
On the Sky Eye Society's side, Connors had just blown the entire medical center and the superheroes into the sky and was about to proceed with the next step in an orderly manner, but a sudden message from Lady Shangdu disrupted his plans.
"I have to go check it out, I'll be right back in a few minutes."
Connors said this to the "giant woman" who was using her huge breasts as a pillow.
"I hope that when you come back, you can borrow Atomic Girl's belt," Giant Woman said.
She wanted to try it out with Connors while in her gigantic state.
"I will try my best," Connors said, then took "Atomic Girl" and flew towards Lady Shangdu.
He was supposed to be at the medical center, next to Dr. Hikaru's body, disguised as a chair in the "Mystery House," but the giant woman from the "Super Villain Secret Society" wanted to see him.
Before she could even get used to the "Giant Woman," Lady Shangdu was already causing trouble for herself again.
Beneath the temple of Hephaestus, in the hole created by Connors using the "Green of All Things," Lady Ushnisha still sat in her chair.
Connors had already removed the vines that were covering her eyes, and her hands and feet were no longer bound.
But the lady was melancholy at the moment, with one hand supporting her cheek, looking pitiful.
"She seems to be seducing you," Atomic Girl said, perched on Connors' shoulders.
Lady Shangdu possessed a unique quality, similar to that of Zatanna.
Zatanna has the air of the great wizard Potter, while Lady Shangdu has the air of a somewhat frail yet mysterious "witch".
"I am not tempting him," said Lady Shangdu, her voice seemingly coming from the clouds, ethereal and uncertain.
"At first I didn't understand. Tarot readings involve so many superheroes, but why did you specifically target me? How much of a threat could a mere prophet pose to you?"
Lady Shangdu did not stand up when Connors arrived; she sat upright in the chair with her legs together.
"But now I understand. You didn't keep me out of it because you were afraid I would shake the world. You trapped me here because I can foresee everything."
"—I couldn't foresee information about you, but through our contact, I was able to see the future of this world and decided to cooperate with you."
"But I'm still confused."
Connors placed his hand on Lady Shangdu's hand and stroked her fair, lotus-root-like arm.
Lady Shangdu closed her eyes:
"I witnessed the fall of the strong, the destruction of the Justice League's base, and Superman and his team being swept into the eye of the storm of death."
Now they've been blown into the sky.
"Batman and his team ventured deep into Heaven in search of a secret that seemed within my grasp, and the Phantom Stranger was reduced to ashes in the process."
"Constantine, that fraudster, is incorrigible and wants to get the powerful Shazam out of the game so he can profit from it."
"Wonder Woman tries to find and destroy the Box, but she will ultimately be corrupted by it—"
"The truth they've been searching for is something I could just say, but because of your actions in altering the timeline, I have to keep everything a secret."
Although Lady Shangdu did not come into contact with anyone other than Connors and Atom Girl, the battle situation outside, divided into three teams, was clear at a glance.
"I don't know how much pain you're going through, but I still hope you can tell me how you managed to stay calm in the face of all this."
Lady Shangdu let Connors' fingers linger on her arm.
Connors:
".......
What inner torment, what bearing everything? Do I have such deep-seated grievances? How come I don't know?
But the expression on the little "Atomic Girl" on her shoulder gradually changed from laughter to shock, then to solemn respect, and finally to worship.
Lady Shangdu, sitting in her chair, also looked at Connors with a dreamy gaze, her beautiful eyes sparkling with desire.
In this situation, Connors had no choice but to cooperate with the other party:
"Indeed, I spend every day in agony, but I have a way to stay calm, which is the cure-all of ailments."
It took "Atomic Girl" a lot of effort to understand Connors's words, and she scratched her head in confusion.
She couldn't tell if Connors was joking or telling the truth.
Lady Shangdu, as a human who has lived on Earth since ancient times, is proficient in various languages. She knows the meaning of individual words, but she doesn't quite understand them when they are put together.
"Then you—" Lady Shangdu asked in confusion.
Without a word, Connors waved his hand and released the Mysterious House from the "JS" ring, replacing the underground space.
"Please wait a moment—"
Before Lady Shangdu could finish speaking, she felt a chill down her spine.
"This...this is Constantine's Mysterious House? You...you stole this thing?"
"Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?" Atomic Girl asked curiously.
Connors: "Rhonda Panida is right, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue? You know, the range from behind is quite large."
"Mmm 1"
The Sky Eye Medical Center, which was blown up by Connors.
A huge, hard metal ball tumbled to the ground, turning into a mud ball the instant it hit the ground, thus dissipating most of the impact.
A green fist burst through the soil from the inside out, and "Mars Manhunter" emerged from it.
Then, the brown soil contracted and gathered at an extremely fast speed, flowing back onto the "Elemental Woman".
Firestorm was covered in soot and dust from the explosion, and he shouted:
"What exactly happened?!"
Cyborg draped Superman's arm over his shoulder, his one eye rapidly scanning the surrounding signals, providing the answer:
"I read an enormous amount of energy from Dr. Light's body; I think he must have exploded."
After this was said, the superheroes looked at each other, and the seemingly dead Dr. Light exploded again?
"Then why weren't we blown to bits?"
"Green Arrow" asked, "Of all the people, he currently has the most wolfish appearance."
Cyborg is made of metal, Firestorm is covered in flames, Elementalist contains earth elements, and Martian Manhunter can change his form to avoid getting dusty.
Because Superman was already in a weakened state, Cyborg protected him exceptionally well.
Only "Green Arrow," though wearing a uniform, was just an ordinary person without a helmet to protect his entire head. He was currently bending down, shaking off the sand and dirt from his head.
"Elemental Girl" couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to separate the dust and dirt off the superheroes:
"I don't know what happened. I just tried my best to turn into the hardest metal and protect everyone the moment I sensed danger."
