Chapter 58 Justice Society

"Selena, I realize bringing you along this time was absolutely the right decision."

Connors spoke to Selena, the "Catwoman" sitting in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Selena leaned back a little closer to Connors and asked:

Why do you say that?

"Because if I didn't bring you this time, you might miss out on a sister." Connors' words left Selena somewhat confused.

Where did she get her sisters?

She had no time to think; the guy who had smashed the glass door with one kick and fled in his car was being chased by "Green Lantern."

Hal intercepted, but something strange happened.

Even though "Green Lantern" Hal has just returned to Earth from deep space, this guy with thick orange hair...

The guy in the pink suit seemed to know Hal.

Not only did he recognize him, but he also acted as if he had fought "Green Lantern" Hal many times, calmly pulling out a weapon from his pocket.

An accordion.

As the robber who stole the violin played rapidly, visible ripples spread from the accordion, quickly enveloping Hal, the Green Lantern, who was flying in the air.

This Green Lantern Corps member, who was in charge of the sector on Earth, was powerless against the mere sound of a piano. He was thrown out on the spot, smashing the music store into ruins.

"Next time you see me, 'Music Thief,' you'd better keep your distance, Green Guardian!"

The man in the pink suit, who calls himself the "Music Thief," knocks Hal to the ground in bizarre ways, makes a boastful statement, and then gets into a car that is no longer under the control of "Green Lantern" Hal and drives away.

The ruins couldn't hold Green Lantern Hal back up. He flew into the air again, then released the energy from his ring to create an outstretched arm, which retrieved the violin.

As for the "music bandits" who sped away, Hal did not choose to continue the pursuit due to the excessive speed of the car, since the most important thing at the moment was to figure out his own situation.

Green Lantern handed the violin to "The Flash" Barry, who was standing nearby, and stopped Barry from giving chase.

Said:

Do you know those people?

Barry scoffed, "I don't know him."

"Are there people on Earth who dress like me? Did you hear what that person called me, Green Guard?" Hal asked, puzzled.

Connors rode over, puffing away in a cloud of black smoke.

"I think you should stop discussing this topic."

As he spoke, he pointed to the top of the building next to the music store, where a burly man, even larger than "Superman" Clark, was standing.

He wore a yellow long-sleeved shirt with a large "T" on the chest, and blue pants with a belt as thick as a boxing champion's belt, featuring a nuclear radiation symbol in the middle.

"You may not know this, but in Seaside City—crime comes at a price."

The burly man mistook Barry, who was holding a violin, and Hal, who had just crashed into the music store, for robbers.

Without giving Barry and Hal a chance to explain, the burly man rubbed the knob on his belt with both hands, and it began to rotate along with the nuclear radiation symbol.

Amidst the crackling of electricity, a bolt of light covered the burly man's hands, and he then leaped straight down from the height, punching the still-stunned "Flash" Barry away.

"The sister you're talking about—is it him???" Selena asked Connors, her face full of questions.

"...It's not him, but he'll be here soon." Connors, somewhat exasperated by Selena's bizarre thought process, pointed to the end of the road.

A motorcycle with a sidecar was coming from the end of the road, and the rider was a man dressed almost exactly like Batman.

Sitting in the sidecar was a blonde woman wearing a strapless bodysuit, leather gloves on her arms, and otherwise covered in black stockings.

Unsure whether the other party was good or evil, Green Lantern Hal took a kick from the blonde woman who lunged at him.

Fortunately, Batman appeared out of nowhere and caught him.

"Looks like we're in trouble." Superman heard the commotion and flew over.

As soon as Superman landed, he immediately lost his balance. At the same time, a "clanging" sound came from behind him. When others looked over, they saw a huge green pile driver at work. At the end of the pile driver was a middle-aged man with a full head of white hair, wearing a green uniform and a green cape.

At first glance, it looks very similar to Hal's outfit as "Green Lantern," except that the symbols on his chest and rings are different shapes: one is lantern-shaped, and the other is shield-shaped.

"This is impossible." Hal's eyes widened. He understood why the "music bandit" had called him "Green Guardian".

"Nothing's impossible." Connors dismissed the black smoke, walked over to Hal, and patted him on the shoulder. "Want to go fight him?"

"Why would I fight—" Hal felt it was just a misunderstanding and instinctively wanted to refuse.

But Connors withdrew the black smoke, and "Catwoman" Selena walked over and quickly approached the black-stockinged, blonde, busty woman who had just arrived.

Selena Gomez, who plays Catwoman, is wearing an eye patch, as is the blonde beauty.

The two women were dressed differently, but both wore black bodysuits that accentuated their figures.

And they all subtly contain cat-related elements.

Selena's original intention was to go over and exchange a few words to find out who the other party was, but her actions were obviously misunderstood by the "Green Guardian" in mid-air, and a green cage was directly placed over her.

"Hold on, Miss!" Barry had just gotten up from the ground when he looked up and saw that the situation was bad. He quickly ran towards Selena.

As the golden lightning illuminated the room, Barry's Speed ​​Force kicked in, causing him to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Phew, thankfully this time it wasn't another world, my speed power is still there."

Before "The Flash" Barry could catch his breath, he immediately sprang into action again, using the Speed ​​Force to sprint, but somehow another person had appeared beside him.

He was wearing the same red uniform as him, except instead of a hooded cap, he was wearing a red baseball bat.

There is also a lightning bolt-shaped symbol on its chest.

"Kid, you're fast. But that doesn't mean you can escape justice." The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who moved with incredible speed, said, punching Barry in the chest.

So Barry, who had just gotten up from the ground, fell to the ground again.

"Wow, go! Go fast! Go!"

Connors wasn't the only bystander; a child was also standing on the street not far away.

Connors was not only watching the drama unfold, but his own situation was also quite dangerous.

He pointed to the giant anvil that had materialized from "Green Guardian" above his head and said to "Green Lantern" Hal:

"Haar, if you don't make a move soon, I'm going to die. But don't worry, even if I die, I won't become a ghost and haunt you every day."

The enormous anvil even had a thoughtful label indicating a weight of "20t," meaning that even without Connors's words, Hal, the Green Lantern, wouldn't have been able to bear it.

The fact that the physical body cannot withstand it does not mean that the Green Lantern Ring and his will cannot withstand it.

Then a huge green protective shield enveloped Hal and Connors. Hal didn't seem to be struggling at all; instead, he turned to Connors and asked:

"Friend, what is your ability?"

"Unlock it," Connors replied without hesitation.

"...Don't you have a special title?" Seeing that Connors seemed to be giving a perfunctory answer, Hal decided to try to find out Connors' abilities from his hero title.

"No." Connors doesn't have any special titles.

The two were chatting, while "Superman" Clark, still in a daze and not understanding what had happened, had been punched away by the burly man with the nuclear radiation symbol.

Batman's Batmobile wasn't here; he was currently fighting bare-handed against another man dressed similarly to him.

The Green Guardian released Catwoman Selena because Green Lantern Hal had already shattered the illusion anvil and was now in the air confronting her.

Selena landed lightly on the ground and immediately charged at the blonde, busty woman again, but this time her fingertips extended sharp claws, clearly indicating that she was also going to make a move.

The blonde beauty approached Selena, her fingertips flashing out sharp claws, showing no mercy in her attack.

Yesterday it was superheroes vs. villains, today it's superheroes vs. superheroes. This drama is just as good as yesterday's.

Others didn't know who these people were, but Connors had already recalled some of them based on the context.

The burly man with the nuclear radiation symbol is "Tom Turbo," the blonde beauty is "Black Siren," and the one dressed like Batman is "Catman."

As for the guy who raced Barry, he was "Speedy".

These five people have a group of names: the "Justice Association".

Knowing the plot, Connors looked left and right, and seeing that everyone had found their opponents and he was being ignored, he simply went over to the little boy who was just watching and patted him on the head.

"Don't interfere with what I do next, or I'll kill you."

Athena's vision could clearly see that the boy had a huge, monstrous tumor on his neck.

Seeing the boy's somewhat dazed expression, seemingly innocent and bewildered, Connors smiled and said again:

"I was just kidding."
