Chapter 1081 Shazam!

With wolves in front and tigers behind, Despair Demon must immediately make a judgment: should he deal with Shazam, who is charging at him head-on, or the unknown threat behind him?

This is indeed a difficult choice, because either way, it could trigger a series of unfavorable chain reactions.

Fortunately, the Despair Demon was no ordinary Karano. Long ago, he was just a deformed person who was discriminated against because of his appearance. However, he never expected that this deformed part of his body, which was looked down upon, would lead him back to his home planet and make him a local overlord.

In that instant, he recalled the turbulent first half of his life, and the next second, the wrinkles on his forehead, which had been filled with despair, stretched out, revealing an eye standing prominently on his forehead.

The sight of three eyes staring directly at him sent a jolt through Shazam's heart. The next second, he felt a sharp pain in his brain, as if someone had drilled into it.

This excruciating pain was so intense that even Atlas's endurance couldn't withstand it. Shazam cried out in agony and immediately collapsed to the ground.

This is the Despair Demon's greatest asset, a gift from his deformed third eye, which is no weaker than the Martian's mental abilities. However, without systematic training, the Despair Demon can only use relatively simple moves.

For example, mental shock is equivalent to mind control that freezes the mind; there's nothing more than that.

However, it's sufficient for dealing with the current situation.

Thinking this, the Despair Demon turned around as soon as he saw that his mental attack had taken effect, and sure enough, he saw a burly man wearing close-fitting armor.

The burly man's long black hair fluttered in the wind, and patches of clouds, like a python, coiled around his body, with occasional flashes of lightning appearing from within them.

"What's this?" Ellang poked his head out. A series of garbled characters appeared on the camera screen. It took him a while to retrieve the useful information from his computer, and then he used Karano to transmit the information to his master.

"Master, this person is an unknown superhuman who shone brightly about a year ago when solving the beast virus. Although the Justice League has acknowledged that he is one of their own, they have not released any detailed information about him, not even his code name."

"However, our allies have provided his abilities. It is known that his physical abilities are no weaker than Superman's, and he also has the ability to control the weather."

Karano sounds like the noise of a cassette tape being sped up; even the Omnitrix translator couldn't translate it without more data, but Yang Le didn't care.

"What are you mumbling about?" Yang Le lowered his body slightly, like a lion entering hunting mode.

"In short, take this punch first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Le disappeared from the spot and reappeared in front of the Despair Demon. Just as he had said, a powerful and heavy fist arrived as promised.

"boom!"

The sound was like the tolling of a bell. The Despair Demon swayed, but its legs did not move. However, it was pushed backward by Yang Le's force by half a meter, and then its knees and below disappeared into the ground.

The surrounding ground flipped over like an egg being fried. Fortunately, this place was some distance from the Zerg's encampment, otherwise their month's efforts would have been in vain.

This attack made Despair Demon realize something. He had a certain understanding of Yang Le's speed and now considered him to be on the same level as Shazam, an opponent he needed to take seriously.

"The fifth challenger is still a member of the Justice League from Earth!" Erlang stepped forward once again. "Although our great Lord of Karano is facing a series of challenges, don't worry, the final victory still belongs to him." Erlang's voice was a bit noisy, but Yang Le knew that the former was also one of the Despair Demon's attack methods, and some obviously biased words could easily disturb people's mindset.

For example, when playing games, you can often see people trash-talking each other in the {Everyone} chat. Surely no one can ignore the strategic value of trash talk.

However, Yang Le thought Erlang's trash talk was too childish. He didn't even have a household registration book to attack him, so it was not worthy of his attention.

Ignoring the jumping robots, Yang Le casually tore off the cloud clinging to his body, and the soft cloud was then reshaped into a bow.

Yang Le drew the bowstring made of wind, and as he released it, a bolt of lightning shot out from the clouds, striking directly towards the Despair Demon.

This lightning bolt was incredibly powerful; just by looking at it, you could tell it was a hundred times stronger than the previous Black Lightning attack. Despair Demon dared not take it head-on this time and dodged it.

This was the first time the Despair Demon had ever actively dodged an attack, enough to shatter the invincible and powerful image he had just built in the minds of Earthlings.

"Boom!" Just as Despair Demon had expected, the lightning struck the ground and created a crater about two meters in diameter. Its power was comparable to the weapons carried by some spaceships.

Seeing that Yang Le was about to draw his bow and shoot an arrow again, the Despair Demon, fearing that he would be outmaneuvered, hurriedly used his third eye, launching an invisible mental attack aimed at Yang Le.

Then, he was intercepted halfway. It was Martian Hunter. He hid in the crowd without revealing himself, but still secretly used his mental abilities to nullify the Despair Demon's attack.

Shazam was able to get away with this because Despair Demon used a surprising tactic, since no one expected Despair Demon to use psychic abilities. Now that they've seen it, they're prepared, and Martian Manhunter won't just stand by and watch his teammates get attacked.

The mental shock was neutralized, which surprised the Despair Demon. However, the battle-hardened man was not intimidated. Knowing that he could not allow the enemy to create distance, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and charge towards Yang Le.

Charging at an archer is extremely dangerous, but the high risk and high reward make closing the distance better than being kited around.

Unexpectedly, when faced with the Despair Demon charging towards him, Yang Le actually dispersed the clouds in his hand and stood still in the same spot.

"You forgot you also made plans with other people."

Despair Demon initially ignored this seemingly random sentence, but the commotion behind him reminded him of what Yang Le was referring to.

It was Shazam. Martian Manhunter not only neutralized the mental impact aimed at Yang Le, but also dealt with the impact surging in Shazam's mind.

"Got you!" Shazam held the Despair Ring in his arms, used his waist and abdomen to lift it up, so that its chest faced the sky.

"Try this! Shazam!"

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck the Despair Demon's chest directly; even he could not withstand such a powerful force.
