Chapter 125 Superhero Teams
"You'd better stop, Wonder Woman. Otherwise, we'll have to intervene."
Batman, standing at the head of the Justice League and the United States Justice League, spoke to Wonder Woman.
Shazam stood in the crowd, looking left and right for a long time, and finally saw Connors standing between the two groups, seemingly not taking sides.
He quickly pushed through the crowd, grinning foolishly as he put his arm around Connors' shoulder:
Do you have any sunflower seeds? Could you share some with me?
Connors grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from his pocket and started cracking them open with Shazam, looking on with amusement.
Wonder Woman glared at Batman, who stood menacingly opposite her:
"This is ridiculous! You're making no progress because you insist on doing things your own way, and Superman is dying! We have to find the Pandora's Box and figure out what it is!"
Before Batman could speak, the Phantom Stranger standing in the crowd spoke up:
"The Pandora's Box has absolutely nothing to do with Superman's actions!"
Connors distributed some of the spiced melon seeds to Shazam:
"Don't crack sunflower seeds between your teeth, you'll crack them big—oh, you got this body from transformation anyway, it doesn't matter."
Shazam cracked open some spiced melon seeds, his eyes lighting up, but his gaze remained fixed on the two opposing forces:
"I guessed someone was about to be in trouble." Sure enough, as soon as Shazam finished speaking, Wonder Woman took out the Lasso of Truth and, before anyone could react, put it around the neck of the Phantom Stranger, strangling him and pulling him in front of her.
This Earth-zero Wonder Woman, who loves to bring up people, has once again raised the Phantom Stranger:
"I've had enough! You say it wasn't the Pandora's Box that caused Superman's erratic behavior, then tell me, what was the real reason?!"
The Phantom Stranger's hat was flung to the ground, and this guy, who had made such a grand entrance, clutched the Lasso of Truth around his neck with both hands, looking extremely uncomfortable.
"I—I don't know."
"Haha!" Connors and Shazam high-fived each other.
Wonder Woman threw the Phantom Stranger to the ground, put her fists at her waist, and shouted to the superheroes behind Batman:
"Listen up, everyone! Batman believes this guy who claims to know everything, but he can't say a word? I'm going to find Pandora, so who wants to come with me?"
"I suggest we all go inside the cabin for a while, have some tea or something, and discuss this matter slowly," Constantine said.
As he spoke, he approached the mysterious house, discarded the "demolish" sign that Connors had stuck on it, and extended an invitation to the crowd outside who were discussing it.
"This cabin has been ordered to be demolished and is probably a dangerous building now. If we go in, it might collapse." Batman declined Constantine's invitation.
"Yes, the Mysterious House is no longer suitable to stay in New York; it's time to move it somewhere else," said "Dead Man" from the Dark Justice League.
Zatanna, who came with Batman, said:
"We have to do the opposite of Constantine. He wants us to enter the mystery house, but we can't go in."
So most people ignored Constantine.
"Haha, you just wrote a Chinese character on the door, does it mean demolition?" Shazam said with a hearty laugh.
Connors nodded. He had used a "little trick" on the mystery house, making it appear to everyone as just an ordinary, dilapidated building.
There's no need to go in.
When the method of luring everyone in didn't work, Constantine set his sights on Shazam, who was eating sunflower seeds with Connors.
While the group discussed in small groups whether to search for Pandora's Box, Constantine approached Shazam:
"Looks like everyone's quite concerned about the current situation, right, Big Red?"
Shazam is indeed larger than Constantine.
Shazam, who was spitting out sunflower seed shells and watching the commotion with amusement, instinctively frowned when he saw Constantine:
"What do you want, you jerk?"
"He's trying to steal your Shazam power," Connors said casually.
Constantine:
"..."
He did intend to do that, but Constantine was somewhat helpless as Connors saw through his little scheme.
Sometimes I really wish I could cast a spell to seal your mouth shut.
As Constantine finished speaking, the superheroes who were whispering and discussing their positions all turned to look at him.
"What are you going to do to him?" Wonder Woman immediately moved closer, seemingly about to lift Constantine up again.
"Although this guy has a lot of secrets, I can't let you do that to him." Batman also stood on Connors' other side.
When Connors saw that both sides' gazes were focused on him, he sensed that something was amiss:
"You guys continue discussing your matters, don't worry about me, hurry up and choose your sides."
"Now is not the time to take sides. To solve this problem, we need to unite," Batman said.
Frankenstein walked toward Wonder Woman, disagreeing with Batman's opinion:
"You're wrong, Batman. We need to find a way to save Superman. This isn't something that can be solved by just working together."
Hawkman and Aquaman, members of the Justice League who hadn't said much, walked over to Wonder Woman:
"I've had enough of arguing. While there's still time, we need to address the Superman issue!"
Black Orchid from the Justice League Dark and Stargirl from the Justice League of America arrive behind Wonder Woman.
At this point, Wonder Woman's allies include Aquaman, Deadman, Frankenstein's monster, Hawkman, Black Orchid, and Stargirl.
Behind Batman stood Steve Rogers, Zatanna, The Flash, Phantom Stranger, Lantern, Shockwave, Katana, and Catwoman.
The uneven distribution of numbers made Connors, Shazam, and Constantine, who were caught in the middle, the objects of contention between the two sides.
With Connors' support, Batman could completely overwhelm Wonder Woman in terms of numbers, preventing her from searching for Pandora's Box.
With the help of Connors and the other two, Wonder Woman would be able to confront Batman head-on and have a greater chance of finding the Box.
Although Constantine is a cunning man, he is a great magician in the magical world, with considerable close combat skills and a wide network of connections, including acquaintances in both Heaven and Hell.
Although Shazam is a relatively new superhero, he is stronger than most superheroes.
This can be seen from the brief encounter between Superman and Shazam in Kandak; he is also a strategic-level hero unit.
As for Connors, he is the object of both sides' competition. He may have a wider network of connections than Constantine, and he may be stronger than Shazam. Most importantly, this guy rarely cheats people.
"Let me make this clear beforehand: I'm involved in a major brewing project that might implicate all of you, so don't come to me with any questions about choosing sides," Connors said.
Shazam quickly raised his hand, indicating that he was on the same page as Connors.
Constantine silently lit a cigarette, but before he could even take a drag, Connors snatched it away. He had no choice but to light another one and addressed both sides:
"Me too, but I suggest you stay away from the Pandora's Box."
Wonder Woman breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that the three of them were not helping each other; at least the worst-case scenario—the three of them helping the other side—did not happen.
She rearranged her words and said to Batman:
"Okay—Batman, are we still on the same side now? Will you help me find Pandora?"
"Are they all going to block my way?"
