The impact caused by the dissipated energy spread around, pushing the air away, like a burst of blue fireworks.
But Superman's face emerged from the "fireworks" unharmed.
He now understood that Blue Beetle must have been controlled by something. He shifted his gaze to the Phantom Stranger, locking onto this target.
So Superman began to accelerate, trying to bypass Blue Beetle and directly control the Phantom Stranger.
But Blue Beetle displayed superior reaction time and speed. As a product of alien technology, the Scarab was created by its makers as a weapon of war, and it was one of the most advanced technologies in the Universe.
Superman, not taking it seriously, thought his speed would be faster than Blue Beetle's, but he was caught by him as he flew past.
"You can't shake me off!"
Blue Beetle's hands transformed into pincers, clamping onto Superman's leg, and then pulled him backward with force.
Superman, caught off guard, was dragged backward.
But he quickly reacted, firing two heat visions that severed the things restraining him... 0
Seeing that Blue Beetle seemed intent on relentlessly pursuing him, he had no choice but to "gently" punch Blue Beetle.
Then the other party flew off like a skipping stone, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Compared to Superman's strength, Blue Beetle was clearly not strong enough, barely able to survive against a Kryptonian.
Having dealt with the obstruction, Superman continued towards the Phantom Stranger, but just as he was about to touch the Phantom Stranger, the latter suddenly flashed and vanished before his eyes.
The Phantom Stranger's teleportation ability was even more powerful than the Justice League's; he could even move between different dimensions and Universes.
When he reappeared, he was behind Superman, holding the Magic Box high, allowing its red light to radiate onto Superman.
Once again assaulted by the Magic Box's power, Superman was corrupted as expected, but the last vestiges of good in his heart refused to let him fall into the abyss of corruption.
Last time, he was careless and had no attachments, which made him susceptible.
But this time, facing the Magic Box's temptation, the first thought that came to Clark's mind was Lois Lane and their unborn child.
"No—!"
Clark, by his own will, resisted the Magic Box's corruption, which surprised the Phantom Stranger.
But he had other methods.
"As expected of Superman, you might indeed possess a heart of pure good, just as Pandora believes, but precisely because of this, it desires you even more."
The Phantom Stranger extended his magical claws towards Superman. Just then, the Sun in the sky suddenly emitted a flickering light, attracting the Phantom Stranger's attention. He couldn't help but look up.
A Shadow approached him like a bird, arriving in an instant. It held a war hammer in its hand! That's what was flashing!
Hawkgirl Shayera swung her hammer, striking the Phantom Stranger directly in the face, knocking him from the sky to the Earth.
Despite this, he still clutched the Magic Box tightly in his hand, not letting go for a moment.
But on the ground, Diana had been waiting for a long time. She threw her lasso around the Phantom Stranger's hand that held the Magic Box, and while he wasn't paying attention, she yanked the lasso!
The Phantom Stranger involuntarily flew up, and in the sky, Green Lantern slammed a materialized giant gauntlet into his face, sending him flying.
This time, he could no longer hold the Magic Box in his hand, letting it fly away.
The Magic Box flickered its three eyes in the air; its falling trajectory was abnormal, seemingly with a target.
"I'll catch it!" The Flash Barry ran to the Magic Box's landing spot, intending to catch it.
"No! Everyone, don't touch it!" Pandora shouted loudly.
Zatanna was the first to react. She chanted a spell backward, freezing the Magic Box in mid-air. A force seemed to want to break free from her magic.
But the Magic Box did not succeed. After all, it only had one consciousness, and its abilities were very limited when it couldn't influence its host.
Zatanna controlled the Magic Box to descend, but she bypassed Barry, placing the Magic Box where no one could touch it.
"I think no one should touch this thing until Dane returns."
After Zatanna said this, she set up a barrier magic around the Magic Box, ensuring no one could break in when she wasn't paying attention.
At this moment, the Phantom Stranger had not yet awakened from the illusion of being controlled by the Magic Box. A magical light flashed on him, and he seemed to want to teleport again.
But then, a dark magic erupted from him, enveloping him before the teleportation magic could take effect.
The Phantom Stranger instantly felt his body begin to weaken—this was a curse!
It was Constantine who made the move. He leisurely took a puff from his cigarette, walked over to the Phantom Stranger, and then unhesitatingly snatched the magic equipment from him.
"Constantine, you... your actions are reprehensible!"
But Constantine gave him a big smile: "Sorry, I have good connections in Hell. I might be working with them later, and your Heaven faction can't control me~"
Then he continued to pick up the equipment.
The Flash Barry hesitated, but Cyborg said expressionlessly from the side, "First, disarm him so he can't cause any more trouble."
"Then he'll give his things back to him, right?"
"Yes," Cyborg replied flatly, "Maybe."
"What does 'maybe' mean..."
At this time, Dane returned to Kahndaq with Madame Xanadu, and the Justice League was already cleaning up.
He smiled at her and said, "You see, I told you, they can solve the problem."
