Chapter 146 Madam
"Black Adam, I want you to wait for 'Superman' downstairs at the Daily Planet in Metropolis, the guy who looks like Superman—and you have to lose to him."
Connors began assigning tasks to Black Adam.
"Like Superman? The same strength? I can defeat him," Black Adam said expressionlessly.
"If you beat him, I'll take nude photos of you and post them all over the streets of Kandak." Connors remained expressionless.
He said that just to scare Black Adam; he would never do something so extreme.
But Black Adam instinctively took a step back. In his mind, if "Outsider" Connors could shout "Shazam!" for almost half an hour, he might be capable of doing other outrageous things as well.
Black Adam was so angry he almost choked. He wanted to take it out on Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, but these two women were now incredibly powerful.
While he might not be able to defeat Connors in such a crushing way, he could certainly contend with him in the short term.
"Alright, I'll listen to you this time—I'll let it slide since you won't lay a hand on Kandak," Black Adam said, finding a way to back down. "But what happens after we defeat—defeat 'Superpower'?"
"Then just follow Luther," Connors said.
"What is a loser?"
"Don't be so pretentious. You don't know he fought with Superman?" Connors said speechlessly.
The Earth-0 timeline isn't like when the heroes first debuted. This world has already experienced the First Darkseid War, and Lex Luthor even collected Kryptonite to fight Superman—although he failed.
But Black Adam's claim of not knowing who Luther is is clearly an act of bragging.
"It's unbelievable that with my strength you would let me lose to 'Superpower' and then to an ordinary person—" Black Adam complained.
"Enough with the nonsense. You have 48 hours of free time. Before that, you can take care of things in Kandak."
"Connors said."
"What's wrong with Kandak?" Black Adam immediately asked, clearly more concerned about his homeland than "Superpower".
"The government here is practically a puppet; you have to free Kandak from oppression," Connors said.
Black Adam did not invite Connors to have a meal in Kandak before leaving. Upon hearing that the people of Kandak were suffering terribly, he immediately tore through the rain and flew away.
The wind whipped up by the opponent's takeoff sent rain-soaked dirt splattering everywhere. Connors quickly retreated, all the way back to where Black Adam had first resurrected, and said to "Poison Ivy" Ivy:
"Ivy, you can untie the lady now."
He and Black Adam just exchanged a punch, and the resulting gust of wind was enough to blow Lady Shangdu away, but "Poison Ivy" Ivy caught her.
"No," Ivy refused expressionlessly. "Where's your little house? Let it out now."
"?"
Connors' attention had been focused on Black Adam, and he was unaware of what was happening behind him.
But he did not refute it. He took the Mysterious House out of the "JS" ring and led the group inside.
Upon entering the Mysterious House, Connors knew what Ivy was about to do—"Poison Ivy" grabbed a corner of Lady Shangdu's skirt and tore it forcefully.
"Tear off a mouth. Madam, you've taken good care of yourself."
The well-maintained Lady Shangdu instinctively covered herself with her arms, one above the other, but the swirling vines on the ground quickly bound her.
This was the third time Lady Shangdu had been tied up. She seemed used to it, letting out a gasp before closing her eyes tightly, looking like she was ready to be taken advantage of.
Harley also flashed to Connors' side and, with her fingers like knives, cut Connors' trench coat in two.
Connors paused for a second to mourn the trench coat, then threw the Lady of Shangdu, who was bound by vines, into his arms.
"She stole the fruits of our labor, you have to make her give them back to us," Ivy said, her cheeks puffed out, clearly very angry.
You should know that "Poison Ivy" is a cool and aloof older sister type. There aren't many things that can make her puff out her cheeks and put her hands on her hips in anger.
Most of the time, Ivy is extremely elegant and exudes a powerful aura, so this is the first time Connors has seen her like this.
Connors then pressed down on Lady Shangdu's thin shoulders:
"Madam, open your mouth."
"Harley, Ivy, I need your help. Bring along 'Kusama-man,' and I can now use this thing to descend upon you at any time."
Lady Shangdu slumped on the sofa, staring blankly at the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
She is immortal, proficient in magic, and possesses unparalleled precognitive abilities—but her physical condition is not as good as the others present.
Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn possess physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people. Moreover, one of them absorbed the Green of All Things from Earth 3, and the other had undergone multiple enhancements with Connors.
One of them possessed the Ashes of the Withering, and also stole the Ashes of the Withering that belonged to Earth 3. In the Mysterious House, the concept of time was not important, and the four of them did not know how long they had been fighting.
But now, Connors, Harley Quinn, and "Poison Ivy" Ivy all look radiant and show no signs of fatigue.
As for "Atomic Girl"—this Thumbelina seems a bit afraid of Harley Quinn and Ivy, only daring to watch and not join in.
Connors handed the two refreshed women a "Kusama Man" and said to them.
"No need. I tried it on Earth 3. One punch can knock down a building." Harley waved her hand in refusal.
"You mean this Kusama can summon you to his side at any time?" Ivy's eyes lit up.
Harley Quinn understood immediately:
"That's great? Then I'll take it!"
Connors said seriously:
"Don't overthink it, you two. I'm not going to cheat on myself. This thing is just a straw—you two can treat it like a phone. Just tell it when you need me, and I'll be there in a few minutes."
Harley and Ivy took over "Kusama Man," but after Connors' explanation, they both lost interest.
Harley asked:
"You told us a long time ago that you needed our help here, so what's the next step?"
As if a certain keyword had been triggered, Lady Shangdu, who was sprawled on the sofa, raised her legs.
Connors calmly pressed Lady Shangdu's leg down and gave the order:
"Harley, go to the Suicide Squad, knock out Harley Quinn in this world, and then call me. You'll take her place for the next mission."
"Ivy, you join the 'Super Villain Secret Society,' knock out another version of yourself in this world, and then call me."
North Harley Quinn asked in confusion:
"You've been in this world for months, haven't you gone to see them at all?"
Connors also asked in confusion:
"Why should I look for them? They can't help me, only you can. I don't know them, but they should know me."
Connors was referring to the time he appeared during the "Monster Thompson" incident.
"Okay, shall we set off now?" Ivy asked thoughtfully.
"Let's go now. To ensure secrecy, I'll lead you there," Connors said.
But before he could even move, Connors stood still:
"Wait, time's up."
[Today's Gossip: The Three-Body Problem War (Ended)]
[Reward for watching the drama: Magic Affinity]
[Magical Affinity: Possesses an innate affinity and talent for magic, and can learn and use all forms of magic]
The reward for watching the Three-Body War arrived. The moment Connors saw "Magic Affinity", he looked at Lady Shangdu, whose eyes were lifeless and who had been thoroughly played with.
With Zatanna gone, I need to continue trying to understand Lady Shangdu.
