I, the anti-superman, have hacked into the chat group.

Karl swung his jeweled sword, causing its light to shine on the golden skull. Instantly, the golden skull in the parallel universe was connected, and Karl could see it and interfere with it to some extent.

Without hesitation, Karl activated it. This machine, known as Pandora's Box, had been dormant for thousands of years and was finally opened at this moment.

The golden skull in Karl's hand transformed into a passage that appeared before him, and Karl knew where it led.

Main universe, Earth 0.

Chapter 152 Pandora's Box

Nearly 300 million days ago, Pandora's box of Earth 0 was opened once, beside a girl named Pandora.

At that time, monsters representing the seven deadly sins emerged from the box, making human society incredibly cruel.

Pandora, who is suspected of opening the box, is judged by the Eternal Council as a sinner. Her punishment is to remain in this world in eternal loneliness, a curse known as immortality.

From ancient times to the present, Pandora has always wanted to eliminate the seven deadly sins she released. The wizard who judged her told her that only the most powerful or the darkest mind can open the box, which contains the power to end the curse.

Pandora managed to retrieve the box that resembled a golden skull, and she planned to find someone to open it so that the Seven Deadly Sins could be put back inside.

Who truly possesses the strongest spirit? Pandora imagined the future hero with the "S" symbol on his chest, and she was going to find Superman.

However, before she could take any action, the Pandora's Box in her arms suddenly became unstable. The skull cracked open and then transformed into a dazzling golden portal.

"No, no, no, why is it like this again?!" Pandora was almost in despair. This scene was exactly the same as in ancient times. She hadn't done anything, but the box had suddenly opened.

Pandora stared in horror at the portal. The Seven Deadly Sins had been released, so what was left in the box?

A figure emerged from the portal, which quickly closed, transforming back into a golden skull, which then landed on the ground. The figure then gently picked up the golden skull from the ground.

Pandora stared at the person emerging from the portal, hardly believing her eyes.

That familiar red cape and the huge "S" on the chest—it was the Superman she was going to find, but why?

Pandora asked the question that had been bothering her: "Superman, why are you in the box?"

"Because this isn't a box, it's a door," Karl casually explained, before turning to fly away with the magic box.

But when Pandora saw that Karl was about to leave, she immediately pounced on him and grabbed a corner of his cloak.

“I don’t quite understand what you mean, but Shazam said that the box contains the power to end the curse. Since you came out of it, doesn’t that refer to you? The seven deadly sins of mankind can finally be ended!”

Karl shook off Pandora's hand and said, "The wizards are wrong. This box is technology, not magic. It leads to another universe. Everything you've encountered is just a coincidence."

"When the passage opened, you just happened to encounter the Seven Deadly Sins who came from across realms. This box has no special meaning, so you don't need to care about it. Do what you want to do, continue your current life, or whatever, it doesn't matter."

"No!" Pandora roared, "This box corrupts the mind and has caused all sorts of calamities! And only the most powerful mind can open it!"

She found it hard to accept what Carl said.

"That's just the box's self-protection system. Rather than trying to tough it out mentally, it's better to prepare protective tools in advance or operate it in a suitable way...like this."

Carl held the skull and made its mouth open and close repeatedly, like playing with a puppet.

The comical clicking sounds echoed in Pandora's mind with each click, leaving her speechless.

"Okay, I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

Carl put away the skull and left the scene instantly, leaving Pandora dejected and lost, having lost her purpose in life.

Karl was going to the seaside town.

Eliminating the dark requires the power of the emotional spectrum, namely the light ring.

However, on Earth 3, let alone the White Lantern that counters the Black Lantern, there was only an unknown divine power ring that was completely useless against the Black Lantern.

So if Carl wants the Green Lantern ring, he'll have to borrow it from Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern here.

"I'm really lucky; I actually saw three Lanterns at once," Karl remarked in Seaside City.

Hal Green Lantern is battling a woman wearing a purple ring in mid-air. The two are locked in a fierce battle, and the Purple Lantern, with her extreme emotions, is not so easy to deal with.

Meanwhile, on the ground, there was a Green Lantern, who was leaning against the side with his arms crossed, watching all of this.

He was burly, with pinkish skin, and his face looked somewhat like a hippopotamus on Earth. It was clear that he was an alien and also a Green Lantern.

"Kilowog, can't you come and help me?" Green Lantern Hal said, struggling to defend himself against the attack.

“Uh, I’m not sure if I should get involved in what’s between you and Carol,” Kilowog said, shrugging.

At that moment, Carl instantly removed his light ring with super speed.

"My Lamp Ring!" Kirowog cried out from the ground, having lost his ring. He tried to summon it back, but Karl's powerful strength prevented the ring from flying toward him.

Hal and Purple Carol were both stunned by this scene, and even stopped fighting each other.

“Superman? What are you doing?” Hal demanded.

Carl gripped the ring tightly and said, "I need the power of the emotional spectrum to save a world in danger."

“The Lantern is always ready to lend a hand in matters like this,” Hal said, frowning. “So, can you return the ring?”

“No, in fact, I can only take inanimate objects to that world, you can’t get through, but I really need the ring, so if you trust me, give it to me,” Karl explained hopelessly.

"Feel sorry."

“We can take you to the headquarters of the Light Group. The guardians of the universe will surely be able to verify the truth of your words, but please return the ring first.”

Hal was already suspecting that this was an enemy impersonating Superman, or that Superman had been mind-controlled again. This wasn't the first time this had happened, and he needed to remain vigilant.

"It would take far too long to get to Planet Oa; that universe can't wait that long."

“I’m sorry, but this process is necessary,” Hal said, gripping the lamp ring tightly.

"You don't need to apologize to me, I'm the one who should apologize."

“Because you’re going to be in a lot of pain!” Karl suddenly emphasized.

He rushed straight at Hal and threw a punch. Hal was prepared, and his protective shield rose at the same time, but he was still knocked to the ground by the powerful force.

He focused his will, wanting to transform the green light into an attack tool, but Karl's pursuit was close behind, so he had no choice but to continue maintaining the protective shield.

Karl's fist struck the protective shield like lightning. In an instant, three punches landed, shattering the shield into pieces.

Chapter 153 Batman's Box

Hal is now certain that Carl is definitely not the Superman he knows.

Upon closer inspection, Karl could see that the two were as similar as twins, but there were still some subtle differences.

Of course, most importantly, Superman would never use such a fierce state to fight someone.

After Hal's protective shield was broken, he grabbed his right forearm, which was wearing the lamp ring. The force field provided by the lamp ring was no match for the exaggerated force. His muscles were squeezed out of shape, making it impossible for him to clench his fist physically.

"No, no..." Hal could only watch helplessly as his fist opened limply, and then the green light ring on it was removed.

After losing the ring, Hal became an ordinary person, and Carl immediately released him.

"two."

"Hal!" Just then, Carol, the Purple Lantern, conjured a longsword that looked like an amethyst and charged towards Karl. Although she had just been fighting with Hal, it didn't mean she didn't care about him. After all, the Purple Lantern represented love.

But ultimately, this love could not create a miracle at this moment.

Karl suddenly turned around and punched the crystal longsword head-on. A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the longsword was instantly shattered into pieces.

With the longsword connected to the Purple Lantern Ring, Karl stretched out his hand and grabbed Carol's arm. Then, just as he had done with Hal, he forced her to release her fist and take the Purple Lantern Ring.

"Carol!"

Carol, having lost her lamp ring, fell straight down from the sky. Fortunately, Hal, despite the pain in his right hand, rushed over and caught her.

“Three,” Carl said, holding all three lamp rings in his left palm to prevent them from flying away.

After confirming that Carol was unharmed except for the wound on her arm, Hal looked up and asked, "Now that you have the three of our lamp rings, what exactly do you want to do?"

"I said I would save the world."

After saying this, Carl flew into the sky and left Seaside City. He had another place to go. He knew that besides the Lanterns of Seaside City, there was another person who kept a Lantern Ring.

batman.

……

……

Gotham City, the Wayne Enterprises underground.

Batman is conducting unseen research here.

What's happening here is something his teammates can't know; they'd have a hard time understanding him. But Batman feels these things are necessary, so even if he's alone, he'll do it.

Suddenly, Batman felt a tremor, and then the base's dome collapsed instantly, with countless pieces of debris falling. Fortunately, he was agile enough to roll to the side and avoid being hit.

Batman silently hid behind a pile of rubble, then cautiously peeked out to observe the situation.

"Superman?" Batman saw Carl descending from the sky.

“No, it’s not him.” Then, he immediately rejected his first thought. There was probably no one on this planet who knew Superman better than him. He could tell at a glance that this was definitely not the Superman he knew.

After landing, Carl didn't pay attention to Batman, but instead used his X-ray vision to search for the surrounding objects.

"Where exactly are those things?... Wait, they're here, aren't they?"

Karl suddenly discovered an area he couldn't see through, where lead had been placed, clearly to prevent the Kryptonians from seeing it.

Carl tore open the metal wall and found six boxes behind it bearing the logos of Justice League members.

Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Aquaman, and Green Lantern.

These boxes were still covered with a layer of lead, which obstructed Karl's vision. To see what was inside, he had to open them himself.

Although he had a general idea of ​​what was inside, Carl wasn't sure when Batman had started preparing these boxes. What if he arrived too early and there was nothing in the boxes yet?

Carl first opened the box with the Superman logo. Inside was a small kryptonite ring, which he carefully put away. He wasn't short of kryptonite right now, but every little bit helps, and more is always better.

At the same time, Karl was not worried about the consequences of a lack of Kryptonite in this world. This was the main universe, not Earth 3, and someone would always be able to produce Kryptonite when needed.

Next up is the Flash's box, which contains a scepter resembling a lightning rod, the Lightning Staff.

It can affect the energy in a lightning state, including the Speed ​​Force. With it, you can effectively slow down the speedster.

Wonder Woman's box is empty because she doesn't have any particularly obvious weaknesses.

Cyborg's box contained a Mother Box, the real thing. Carl didn't understand how Batman managed to keep a Mother Box; that was New Gods technology.
