Chapter 144 Understanding Magic
Standing on the plains of Kandak, Connors lit a cigarette with a melancholy look in his eyes.
He overlooked one problem: after Shazam brought Black Adam's ashes, the urn was broken and scattered everywhere during the superheroes' battle.
He didn't seem to have the ability to collect ashes from the sandy plains.
The wind seemed to be against Connors; he couldn't light the lighter no matter how long he tried. Harley walked over and opened her coat to shield Connors from the wind.
"I won't eat for now, I have a headache," Connors said, looking at Harley Quinn's snowy mountain.
"What do you mean you won't eat? Fine, I didn't expect this, but now I have no choice but to eat."
Harley Quinn grabbed Connors with an unquestionable tone.
Since the ashes couldn't be collected anytime soon, Connors turned the "Mystery House" into a grain of sand and entered it with Harley Quinn.
Harley Quinn's skin is more elastic than before, with a beautiful blue-gray hue that complements Ivy's blue and green tones perfectly.
At this moment, the two female villains from Earth 3 were sitting on either side of Connors.
The snow-capped mountains collided and pressed together, resembling four flat-topped mountains.
Putting aside the slippery texture, the stunning visual effect alone was enough to feast Connors' eyes.
"Atomic Girl" was still sitting on Connors' shoulders, considering whether she should use the belt to make herself bigger so she could sit on him directly.
Connors admired the snow-capped mountains while rapidly pondering the problem:
"Green of All Things" is not very good; it cannot separate cremated remains from the sand.
The super vision and super speed brought by "photosynthesis" could support him to collect the ashes little by little, but that would be too stupid.
Even "small tricks" are not easy to handle, let alone "lock picking," "driving," or "surfing."
After much thought, Connors still couldn't find a quick enough method, so he had no choice but to wait until midnight.
We already have enough physical and mechanical methods, so shouldn't the gossip system at least give us a magic-based reward?
Avalanches have already occurred on the four flat-topped snow-capped mountains, and they are moving at a moderate pace. Connors is leisurely thinking, touching one side of his head with one hand.
Lady Shangdu was originally sitting in the hall of the Mysterious House, looking through tarot cards.
When she saw Harley Quinn drag Connors out and then return shortly after, this time with "Poison Ivy" Ivy by her side,
She already knew what was going to happen next.
So she covered her face again and went back to her room, closing the door tightly.
"He must have been under immense pressure to personally push the world's superheroes into the abyss; he must have been carrying a huge burden in his heart."
"I can see the future, and I know that everything he is doing now is to increase his strength in order to deal with a more threatening existence."
I have to help him—
Lady Shangdu tried to understand Connors' actions from her own perspective and successfully convinced herself.
So she slowly got up, pushed open her bedroom door, and went into the hall where Connors was. With a touch of shyness, she said:
"Me too—I'll join."
Connors' eyes lit up when he saw Lady Shangdu:
"Madam, you've come at the perfect time."
He realized that Lady Shangdu not only had the ability to foresee the future, but also possessed magical powers.
Zatanna is currently trapped inside the "Firestorm Matrix," but Lady Shangdu's magic might be able to help him as well.
Lady Shangdu misunderstood Connors' meaning. Blushing, she walked over to Connors, who was sitting on an armless single sofa, and obediently squatted down.
"Hey, we've been working so hard, and you're just here to enjoy the spoils?" Harley said, disgruntled.
Lady Shangdu's mouth was only half open when she heard this and she froze in place, embarrassed. She felt that what Harley said made a lot of sense.
Just then, Connors was eager to leave the Mysterious House with Lady Shangdu and use magic to collect Black Adam's ashes.
He did not persist and decisively chose to surrender.
Harley Quinn is venting her frustrations on Lady Santiago, while Poison Ivy watches from the sidelines, and Atom sits silently on her shoulder.
Lady Shangdu's face was positioned directly above Connors's staff.
So the bullets covered her face.
"Aaaaaah!" Harley Quinn let out a sharp, explosive cry.
Poison Ivy stood frozen in place.
Lady Shangdu licked her lips, her already rosy cheeks burning even hotter, and looked at Connors for help.
"She's just an old witch over a thousand years old. Could her charm possibly surpass that of the two of us?"
Harley Quinn stands with her arms crossed next to Ivy, who plays Poison Ivy.
She looked at the backs of Connors and Lady Shangdu standing in front of her and said unhappily.
"Perhaps her abilities are more useful to Connors," Ivy said.
Standing in front of them, Connors, who was beside Lady Shangdu, turned around upon hearing this and corrected Harley's statement:
"She's not old; she's just always maintained her youthful beauty. I just met her too late."
Atomic Girl, perched on Connors' shoulders, praised:
"That sounds nice. But besides being able to foresee the future, what else can Lady Shangdu do?"
Connors gave a mysterious smile:
"The lady has mastered the magic, and I have mastered the lady."
Lady Shangdu smelled the lingering scent on her hair, and her ears turned bright red.
She only had time to use magic to clean the filth off her face before Connors pulled her outside the Mystery House.
"Madam, I need your magic," Connors said to Lady Shangdu. "There are scattered ashes on this land; can you use magic to collect them for me?"
"Yes," Lady Shangdu said in a weak voice.
"Then—please." Connors bowed slightly, gesturing with one hand to indicate "please."
Lady Shangdu didn't say much, raising her hands at her sides with palms facing up.
Before long, a gentle breeze stirred up the flat ground, and a wisp of dust in Lady Shangdu's palm went from being barely visible to gradually gathering into a large ball.
"This is what you wanted, Black Adam's ashes."
This magic was relatively simple for Lady Shangdu, she said to Connors with ease.
"Madam is wonderful," Connors casually complimented, taking a jar from the Mystery House.
Lady Shangdu, enveloped in a gentle breeze, had her ash, gathered into a ball, scattered into the jar. Harley hobbled over from behind.
"Little Pa, you're not really going to mix it with rice and feed it to Superba, are you?"
Connors smiled and said to Harley:
"What nonsense are you talking about? I was just joking with you then."
"I will use Black Adam's ashes to perform the resurrection ritual and bring Black Adam back to life."
As he spoke, Connors placed the urn on the ground, preparing to chant the incantation.
Poison Ivy quickly pulled him back:
"Wait, the person you're trying to resurrect must be very strong, right? I think you need to improve your strength a bit more."
Lady Shangdu nodded in agreement. Black Adam was extremely powerful and was a dictator who sought to destroy the magical world.
Even if Connors resurrects him, the other party might not be grateful and there's a high chance they'll fight.
She felt that Connors really needed to improve his strength and be fully prepared before resurrecting Black Adam.
"Ivy, you're using this trick again. Last time you sent everyone else away and befriended Little Pa—"
Harley Quinn didn't have as many thoughts as Lady of the Upper City; she saw through the tricks used by "Poison Ivy" Ivy at a glance.
Ivy said these words before the "White Martian Invasion" incident began, when she sent the "Birds of Prey" away.
Lady Shangdu blinked, seemingly understanding what "Poison Ivy" Ivy meant by increasing strength.
