Chapter 141 Justice is dead, evil is eternal (Bonus chapter 4 for casual readers)

Connors held up Pandora's box with both hands.

His appearance was no longer that of someone wearing a Gotham trench coat and a black smoke cape.

Instead, he appears as Alfred, with a deathly pale face, a wide grin that almost reaches his ears, dressed in a black butler's uniform, and holding a cane—the image of Alfred, the butler from Earth 3.

This is "mimicry".

"The Flash!" Batman roared.

Connors didn't need to look at the Flash; his "magnification" and "little trick" instantly rendered the Flash immobile, and blue-white light emanated from the Magic Box.

"Connors, you've played everyone—" Wonder Woman couldn't believe her eyes.

Catwoman, Zatanna, Stargirl, and others subconsciously reached out to touch the "Kusama Man" hidden on their bodies.

Pandora and the questioner were filled with endless doubts, unable to understand why the magic box would undergo such a change in Connors's transformed hands.

Those who have received help from Connors, including Aquaman, Constantine, Shazam, and Martian Manhunter, or even witnessed Connors's miraculous victory over "Monster Thompson," are astonished.

"Pandora, I told you you are innocent. When the gods first found this box, they thought it was magic, but they were wrong."

"This is technology."

"This is a product from another world."

"You've been searching for someone who can open the box, but only someone from another world can do it. It's a gateway to another world."

"I framed Superman, I killed Doctor Light, all the chaos was caused by me, and even the monster Thompson was released by me—from a dream."

"I'm doing all this just to prepare for a greater threat, and as Lady Shangdu says, you'll thank me. This is just an appetizer."

"I am an outsider, and I am here to initiate—evil forever!"

After opening Pandora's box, Connors tossed it aside, and his appearance changed from a defeated butler to a muscular Gotham trench coat and black smoke cape.

"Someone's coming," Firestorm whispered, looking at the passage Connors had opened.

A blurry figure emerged from the light of the passageway and gradually became clearer.

He held a trident in one hand and a harpoon in the other, clad in purple fish-scale armor, his face covered in blood, and his long golden hair dripping with blood.

Facing all the war-torn superheroes present, he surveyed them expressionlessly, his blindness in one eye giving him an imposing presence.

Earth 3.

Harley Quinn, who found the "Withering Ashes" in this world and took it, has changed her appearance once again.

Previously, Harley only had a beautiful figure, but now she has quite obvious muscle definition in her thighs and arms.

But these muscles aren't exaggerated; they're nowhere near as bulging as those of Connors or Superman. They simply add a touch of power to an already beautiful physique.

"Only a month has passed here, I wonder how much time has passed over Connors? The time in the two worlds must be out of sync, right?"

Poison Ivy effortlessly used her incredibly thick vines to block everything around her:

"I wonder how many likes Connors gave me?"

Apart from the place where Harley and Ivy were, most of the rest of the world had become nothingness, as if it had been swallowed up by something.

Poison Ivy is currently manipulating her vines to fight against this all-consuming void, and she is not worried at all that she will be unable to withstand it and collapse.

This kind of optimistic attitude usually only appears in Harley Quinn. Ivy is so optimistic mainly because Connors said that when the world is about to collapse, he will open a passage to pick them up.

Just then, a burst of blue and white light bloomed from not far away, and Harley's eyes lit up:

"Little Pa has opened the passage! We're finally reunited. I wonder how much he saved up for me?"

Poison Ivy couldn't help but retort, "That was for me."

While arguing, the two quickly moved closer to the passage that Connors had opened.

This is Gotham City. Everywhere else has become nothingness.

Like Harley and Ivy, the members of the "Criminal Syndicate" are also fighting against this all-consuming force.

"Ivy, I remember Little Pa said we should take down that blond guy with the trident?" Harley asked, poking Ivy's waist with her finger.

"It tickles~ Don't scratch." Ivy twisted her waist to dodge Harley's sneak attack. "He said something like that, so should we just attack?"

"Anyway, I don't have any plans," Harley said with a grin.

Without any attempt at concealment, the two women appeared openly before the members of the "Criminal Syndicate," who were struggling to resist being swallowed by the void. "I think you need help. What do you think?"

Harley grabbed her oversized mallet and smashed it down on Sea King's head before the Crime Syndicate members could react.

The "Sea King's" head instantly pierced his own chest cavity, and the gushing blood startled Harley.

"Wow, it's so crispy?"

"Poison Ivy" Ivy pierced the body of "Sea King" with her vines, allowing his head to return to his neck, and manipulated him into walking through the passage like a puppet.

"Ivy, what are you doing?" Harley couldn't understand.

This guy has already been smashed to death by me, so why bother making him the first to enter the passage?

"Scare Connors." Ivy learned to play pranks from Harley.

"It's a pity we can't see the other side of the passage from here, otherwise I would have jumped right into Papa's arms," ​​Harley said with some regret.

"Let's hurry, these 'Criminal Syndicate' guys are coming to cause trouble for us soon," Ivy said, as the vines grew wildly, throwing her body into the passage.

On the ground, Harley Quinn, like a human bulldozer, rushed towards the passage with a thunderous roar.

Without their support, the "Criminal Syndicate" could no longer withstand the engulfment the world was facing. Upon seeing Harley and Ivy enter the passage one after the other, they rushed over quickly.

blah blah blah!

After Sea King's body walked out of the passage, it fell to the ground with a thud. Then, two curvaceous figures rushed out and pounced on Connors after a brief hesitation.

"Welcome to this world, Harley, Ivy."

Connors put his arm around one of them, smiled, and said to them before disappearing from the spot, leaving only a small scarecrow behind.

To avoid being immediately seen as an enemy by the "Criminal Syndicate," Connors returned to the "Mystery House."

"Hiss—hiss—" Harley sniffed Connors frantically like a puppy, "One, two, three—the scent of over thirty women! Little Pa, what have you done?!"

"I just want to know how much is left for us?"

While the naive Harley was still questioning things, the clever Ivy had already started taking action.

Outside the mysterious house, in the passageway.

After frantically running to the passageway, the members of the "Criminal Syndicate" readjusted their appearance before emerging.

With a kick, the dead "Sea King" lying on the ground was pushed aside, and "Super Overlord" wore an arrogant smile:

"We've finally arrived!"

"Although the Sea King couldn't hold out, we survived."

The passage disappeared.

Superpower, Super Queen, Tyrant, Power Ring, Johnny Quick, Deathstorm, and a man with a sack over his head, bound by the "Lasso of Obedience," stand together, looking at the Earth-0 superheroes whose civil war has just ended.

"Who are they?" Catwoman asked, puzzled.

Batman's face hardened; he was ready for battle.

"I don't know. Everyone, regroup and prepare for battle!"

"immediately!!"

"Where's Atomic Girl? I heard she ran off with that 'Outsider,' that son of a bitch, I'm going to tear her to pieces!" Johnny Quick gritted his teeth.

"This...this world doesn't seem very safe?" the Divine Power Ring stammered.

He stammered, but he showed no mercy. A green light emanated from his ring, scattering the superheroes lying on the ground after the battle.

"This place is too dangerous, with so many people in uniforms? Is this the norm in this world?"

The outfit of the Divine Ring is similar to that of "Green Lantern".

However, Green Lantern was not on Earth, and the Justice League's Green Lantern was seriously injured. The only one standing there, covered in green light, was the Ring of Power.

Death Storm, a member of the "Criminal Syndicate," reassured her:

"Calm down, Divine Power Ring. This is a fascinating world, not dangerous at all, at least not to us. If you keep panicking, you'll only waste your energy."

"But... but what is that?!" the Divine Power Ring exclaimed in horror, clutching the "grid".

"I am the Grid. Atom discovered me and activated me when she invaded Cyborg. Have a nice day," the Grid said in a mechanical voice.

"The only thing we need to worry about is this prisoner; we should have kept him in our world."

"Queen Super said to the Divine Power Ring."

Ahead of them, Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter were helping Superman up.

"We need to remove the Kryptonite from Superman's body!"

"We also need to make sure Cyborg is safe," Batman said. "Everyone else who can still stand, get ready to fight."

"Pfft, how embarrassing," Death Storm said jokingly.

"They're just like us, like our lost allies," Superpower said, watching the Earth 0 heroes rise one by one.

"They've stood up! What are we going to do, Superpower?" God Power Ring said tremblingly.

Johnny Quick reached up and pinched his chin; it ached from clenching his teeth.

"Let's stretch our arms and legs, time to have some fun!"

Superpower slowly clenched his fist. As the leader of the "Criminal Syndicate," he issued his first order since arriving on Earth:

"From this day forward, this world belongs to our Crime Syndicate!"
