"Batman, you stay here with Superman. I'm going to find Diana," Connors said to Batman, then turned away and stopped "Wonder Woman," who was heading toward them.
Earth-0's "Wonder Woman" was stopped by Connors, and she didn't insist on going to where "Superman" was being held.
"None of this has anything to do with Dr. Light, Connors. I suspect Pandora," as soon as "Wonder Woman" saw Connors, she spoke straight to the point. "And she brought the box with her. I have to find her."
"I'll go with you," Connors said.
"Wonder Woman" nodded, reached out, and grabbed Connors, selectively ignoring the Thumbelina-sized "Atomica" sitting on his ear. "I'm going to find Hephaestus and ask this guy who probably made the magic box."
Connors had no objection to this. The Justice League did not need him to deal with the current situation for the time being. He only left a Grass Decoy in place and flew into the sky with Diana.
Inside the forge of the fire god Hephaestus.
Hephaestus was striking a weapon in his hand with a hammer when the Lasso of Truth from "Wonder Woman" flew out from behind and wrapped around his neck.
"Ugh!" Hephaestus retched, and his body was dragged uncontrollably by the lasso. "Diana? Hell, what are you doing?"
"Wonder Woman" strangled Hephaestus's neck tightly with the lasso. "Shut up, I'll ask you! What is Pandora's Box? What can it be used for?"
Hephaestus looked at Diana, confused and aggrieved. "Aren't we allies? Wonder Woman? Half of your artifacts were made by me, and you just break into my territory and attack me?"
"I don't have time to be polite. Please answer my question," Diana urged.
Hephaestus, with the Lasso of Truth around his neck, couldn't hide the truth, but there was nothing he could do about Diana's question. "That box isn't what you think it is. It's a mystery, and it was never forged by me."
"The magic box was found in a temple outside Athens, but no one knows where it came from."
Diana looked at the Lasso of Truth in her hand; even Hephaestus couldn't resist its power. Apparently, her attempt to find the truth in her search for Hephaestus had failed.
Flying over the sea, Diana said to Connors worriedly, "Connors, it was you who brought Pandora to Superman. Do you know anything about the box?"
"I can't tell you, Diana, but we can turn to another team," Connors said.
Diana looked at him with hope. Almost everyone knew that Connors was the most well-connected person on Earth and knew the most things. This was the persona that Connors had maintained since he came to Earth-0.
"You can go and get help from the Justice League Dark. I know them," Connors said.
"Justice League Dark? That group of guys who pretend to be heroes for personal gain?" Diana clearly didn't have a good impression of the Justice League Dark.
"A reminder: Zatanna was also a member of the Justice League Dark," Connors reminded her.
With the Zatanna connection, "Wonder Woman" Diana decided to follow Connors's arrangements. "Then what are we waiting for?"
"You go to the Justice League Dark. I have to go to another guy," Connors said. He had come out with "Wonder Woman" just to guide her to the Justice League Dark, and there was no need for him to follow.
"Okay, then I'll go and meet them," Diana said. Her flight speed increased further, with air currents cutting a waterline across the sea below.
Watching "Wonder Woman" leave, the "Atomica" sitting on Connors's ear and holding his hair finally dared to speak. "Where are you going now?"
"Going to Madame Xanadu. She was tied up for a long time, and I have to help her relax," Connors said.
Inside Madame Xanadu's psychic cabin, Connors reached out and flicked the "Atomica" sitting on the top of his lower ear. "You're not coming down yet?"
"Atomica" Rhonda Pineda clutched Connors's hair tightly. "I don't want to. I'm afraid that once you return to your normal shape, you will kill me immediately. After all, I don't seem to have much use value now."
Connors had no intention of killing "Atomica" after she finished her work. He didn't care about her protest. Instead, he turned to Madame Xanadu, who was tied to a chair in front of him. "Madam, here I come again."
(Madame Xanadu)
"Who?" Madame Xanadu's eyes were covered by vines, and her hands and feet were tied to the chair. She asked with some trepidation.
"I can't tell you my identity yet," Connors said. "Your ability to predict the future is a big threat to me, so I'm sorry to tie you up here."
Madame Xanadu was wearing a long skirt with a split to the base of her thigh. She was a little worried and embarrassed. "What's your plan? Rule the world? Or do you want to gain some indescribably powerful power?"
"No matter who you are, you can't do something that so many villains haven't succeeded in. The world is protected by superheroes, and you can't succeed."
"And you can't tie me here forever. I am eternal."
Connors nodded and asked, "What did you see during the time I trapped you? Tell me."
Madame Xanadu seemed to speak slowly, resigning herself to the idea that she was tied here anyway and had nothing else to do. "I saw 'The Outsider who didn't belong in this world' dissociating between the Justice League and the Justice League of America. He kept almost everyone in the dark—wait, are you the Outsider?"
Halfway through what she said, Madame Xanadu reacted, and her tone changed from helpless to excited.
"…Did you just find out?" Connors stood in front of Madame Xanadu and said helplessly.
He reached out and touched her cheek, and Madame Xanadu further checked the threads of fate through the physical contact between the two parties. She couldn't see Connors's locked future, so she chose to see herself, as well as the future of the Justice League. Madame Xanadu's expression suddenly changed rapidly through horror, anger, and confusion. Her eyes were obviously blindfolded, but her expression was still very accurately seen by Connors's Athena's Vision.
But Madame Xanadu's mood was a little beyond Connors's expectations. After a sudden moment, Madame Xanadu suddenly became shy. She looked up in Connors's direction.
"You worked hard—"
Connors: "???" Why is it so hard?
After he came to Earth-0, in order to successfully eat the melons of "The Trinity War" and "Forever Evil," Connors continued to do things that villains would do. From releasing "Monster Thompson" to controlling Superman and causing chaos in the world, he directed and acted himself as the "Savior" and gained the trust of almost everyone. He brought the "Martian Manhunter" into conflict with the Justice League to establish the Justice League of America. Then he took advantage of the great heroes on Earth-0 being severely damaged, openly attacked the villains, and secretly formed a Secret Society of Super-Villains.
Connors's role in what had been happening until now was almost always considered a villain. But now, as a decent superhero, "Madame Xanadu," after looking further into the future, not only did not put up any resistance to Connors, an "Outsider," but she also said "hard work."
Just when Connors was a little confused, Madame Xanadu continued, "Your appearance has corrected the timeline of this world. Thank you for your hard work. I will stand firmly on your side."
"And comfort you in the way you like."
Madame Xanadu spoke, wetting her lips with her tongue, licking the corners of her mouth, and then slowly opening her mouth.
Connors: "…"
He somewhat understood what Madame Xanadu said. His own act of pushing the timeline and plot in order to watch the show had unintentionally pulled the plot back on track from which it should have deviated?
