Chapter 395 Pandora's Box Has Been Opened
The rune flying in the sky sensed a powerful magical force. The fact that even the rune considered it powerful spoke volumes about the danger of this magical force.
Could I have guessed wrong? Does a miracle machine or some other powerful similar device really exist in this universe?
Rune used magic to investigate the current state of the Hall of Sin, and then he immediately accelerated at full speed.
It is a door to another world; it has opened.
They certainly didn't disappoint them, but it remains to be seen whether the universe they've reached is the DC universe.
The outsider is currently standing with the seven leaders of the Justice League and the Dark Justice League.
The Justice League's seven main members need no introduction. In the New 52 era, the Justice League's seven main members were Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Cyborg.
Cyborg is one of the less senior members. He replaced a green-clad hero and became one of the seven founders of the Justice League.
This green-clad hero is Martian Manhunter. He not only possesses physical strength capable of going toe-to-toe with Superman, but also has a powerful mind-reading ability. However, his weaknesses ultimately force him into a semi-retirement.
Martian Manhunter fears fire, which reminds him of the deaths of his wife and daughter. But the substance is far too common; many new-generation heroes possess the ability to unleash fire. To avoid hindering other heroes, he has no choice but to semi-retire.
Cyborg is younger; before the New 52, he was a member of the Teen Titans and hung out with the second-generation Batmen and Superman's sons.
Cyborg was originally an outstanding American football star, but he was seriously injured in an accident caused by the Apokolips Mother Box.
However, Cyborg unexpectedly benefited from the disaster, as he fused with Mother Box molecules in the instant of the explosion. His father took him to the Red Room laboratory for emergency treatment, which, coincidentally, was the very place where the US government collected various alien technologies.
The Mother Box then absorbed all the high technology in the Red Room and transformed Steel Bone into a cyborg, half-human and half-machine.
While the Mother Box is powerful, don't expect Cyborg to be that strong. He's essentially an athlete and doesn't understand high-tech like the Mother Box. Besides, he still retains human habits and is unwilling to fully digitize.
I can't go up, I can't go down, I'm stuck here.
All these factors make Cyborg more like an all-around hero with support items in battle. Therefore, apart from using Sonic Boom Portal to teleport other heroes and analyze enemy weaknesses, he can only use Sonic Cannon to observe from the sidelines.
Even sonic boom tunnels can have the possibility of transmission errors, although the probability is only one in a thousand, it is enough to be fatal.
At this moment, Cyborg was still doing his job, trying to use data to analyze the opened door.
Just a few days ago, a human named Outsider broke into the Justice League. He claimed to be Batman's sidekick from another dimension, and said that his universe was in imminent danger and he hoped the Justice League could save his world.
To outsiders, his organization maintained world order, but one day it was suddenly attacked by a powerful and insane mage who claimed he would rule the world.
His words naturally drew the attention of the Justice League, but when Batman asked this familiar yet unfamiliar person how to solve the problem, the outsider suggested the name of an item—Pandora's Box.
He hoped to use this artifact to rescue the others from another world.
This sounded like something from the magic side, so Diana immediately went to the Justice League Dark and told Zatanna everything. Wonder Woman certainly acknowledged Kang's abilities and strategies, but she didn't approve of the means he used to achieve his goals, and she hated his unreliable personality even more.
Although the Dark Justice League sounds like a villainous organization, it is actually a magical version of the Justice League, and its main members include Lady Ushnisha, Constantine, Zatanna, the Dead, and so on.
This organization was spearheaded by Lady Xanadu, but the actual work was often done by people like Constantine, Zatanna, and the Dead. Lady Xanadu generally only provided support in divination, but that was actually enough.
Lady Xavier's eldest sister was the Lady of the Lake in the Arthurian legend, and her second sister was Morgan le Fay. Lady Xavier herself even directly predicted Morgan le Fay's conspiracy and the downfall of ancient Britain.
But this time her divination failed. Lady Shangdu tried to divine the fortune of this event, but the result was unclear, which indirectly confirmed the outsider's statement.
At least this mage is indeed very powerful.
Zatana's expression was also grave.
There aren't many mages capable of casting anti-divination spells, let alone preventing a diviner of Lady Shangdu's caliber. This matter naturally reached Constantine's ears, but he remained as nonchalant as ever.
In the process of searching for Pandora, Chad even tried to date her, almost letting her escape. Fortunately, the others were not to be trifled with either. Pandora was first attacked by the Irony spell, then bound by the Lasso of Truth, and was subsequently forced to reveal the secret of the Pandora's Box.
However, the subsequent division of the spoils aroused dissatisfaction among the two Justice League members.
An outsider raised a question: Who should be entrusted with the safekeeping of the magic box?
Strictly speaking, the Justice League was Batman's idea that the Pandora's Box should be properly managed after everything was completed.
Proper management? Isn't that just pocketing it? The Dark Justice League isn't stupid; there aren't any idiots among the mages. And do you even know what it means for magical matters to be under the jurisdiction of the magic faction? This is D0!
The rules of the universe!
Moreover, this magic box possesses a peculiar power; it can cause the holder to grow a third eye and become corrupted. The reason everyone is able to use it is because of Zatanna's protective magic.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, entrusting the magic box to the mage for safekeeping is indeed the best solution at present.
But it's impossible to say that Zatanna and the others had no ulterior motives; they wanted to use this artifact that could connect to other universes to seek magical knowledge.
But that's exactly what Batman fears. Everyone knows that sorcerers are like cats; their curiosity is impossible to suppress. Batman doesn't even need to think; he knows they will definitely communicate with other universes.
Therefore, he firmly disagreed. What if the universe you're communicating with is full of bad people? What if that universe is playing out a night of the living dead?
The mature Batman doesn't even trust himself, let alone others, so he clings to ownership of the Pandora's Box, and even Zatanna's words have no effect.
But Aquaman and Cyborg didn't understand. Aquaman wasn't very bright, and Cyborg was slow-witted; they couldn't comprehend why Batman was being so stubborn. They were clearly allies, so why were they arguing like this over a broken box?
Superman didn't think things through, but he firmly supported Batman. Barry and Diana quickly grasped Batman's intentions and thus also supported this dark, mentally ill man.
Hal didn't care much about the box; his green light kept reminding him of what was happening in the sector, and Hal spent most of his energy dealing with these things.
Green Lanterns, especially any Green Lantern who needs rest, have a little-known weakness: they take off their rings when they sleep. If they don't, they will receive the Green Lantern alarm from time to time and won't be able to sleep at all.
After the door opened, the shouts from the other side became clearer, and everyone else present could hear the despair in their voices.
Outsiders felt a chill run down their spines.
Could it be that I'm still too slow, and that mage named Rune has already arrived in this universe?
But even outsiders have something to say. Just transferring the grid from the storage device to this world's network took him a lot of time, since the storage device interfaces between the two universes are not compatible at all.
But he didn't have the money of this world, so he could only take things from the Night Owl's belongings to exchange for money, which made the outsiders cry their eyes out. After a lot of hard work, he finally got the money and had a girl named Barbara change the interface of the storage device.
Afterwards, the outsider also looked up information about this world and, after understanding the Justice League's style of doing things, directly chose to ask for help.
Outsiders simply can't be happier.
However, to the outsider's relief, familiar faces finally emerged from the other side of the door: Alexander Luther, Super Queen, Deathstorm, the Ring of Power, and Sea King.
"Close it! Close the door!" Queen Super screamed immediately. She had almost been killed by the stone spear thrown by that mage. Luther's face was even worse.
He realized that even he himself was not confident he could withstand the opponent's attack.
The Divine Power Ring simply flew away at full speed, not even glancing at the others.
Without them saying a word, The Flash, Barry, immediately closed the golden skull-shaped box, but at the last moment before the door closed, something was still thrown at him—
