Diana shot Dane a fierce glare, then pulled Zatanna and turned to leave, flying off in a certain direction.
Zatanna actually wanted to say that she could use the Magic Box for teleportation, but seeing Diana's expression, she didn't dare to speak up.
The others also dispersed. Flash, sensing the awkward atmosphere, had already run off like a wisp of smoke.
Hal had already slipped away with Sinestro when Superwoman pounced on Dane.
Therefore, only a few non-flying members remained at the scene.
Plastic Man looked at the direction Diana left, then at the direction Superwoman left, with an expression of great shock. His neck stretched out long, like a piece of flesh-colored plasticine.
"Buddy, you're in for it~," he said mischievously.
Plastic Man had only joined the Justice League for a short time; he didn't yet know that Dane and Diana's relationship wasn't the most complicated... Batman ignored the romantic entanglements. He looked at the bound Deathstorm and the two living Captain Shazams, lost in thought.
"What do you plan to do with them?"
Dane thought for a moment, then said, "Let's lock them up for now."
He had already seen in the volcano that Deathstorm was protecting the Quantum Ontology Bomb from being stolen by The Shazams. He seemed not to be allied with the others.
Dane had his principles. In this situation, he clearly couldn't kill him and seize Deathstorm's abilities for his own selfish reasons.
"Once the remaining Syndicate members are all apprehended, our mission here will be complete. What are your plans for the OA invaders that Hal and Sinestro mentioned earlier?"
After they captured the Syndicate, this Earth would have no powerful superhuman organization. In that case, they would certainly be powerless against an entire Planet's Power Ring corps like OA.
However, the Justice League could not hand over Ultraman and other members to the United States, because these people would definitely mess things up, and the Quantum Ontology Bomb incident further confirmed this.
They had briefly discussed this matter before and unanimously agreed that they could not simply leave this World directly. Either don't do it, or if you do, you must resolve everything.
Dane placed the item he had just brought out of the volcano in front of Batman. It was a metal box, similar to a suitcase, extremely smooth with nothing on it.
"Is this the super bomb?" Batman raised an eyebrow. This thing was not quite what he had imagined.
"Deathstorm performed some atomic sequence recombination on it, shrinking it to this size.
Don't let its small size fool you; it actually weighs ten tons, much heavier than a normal nuclear bomb."
"For a weapon capable of destroying a World, this weight is already very light."
Red Hood tried to invade the bomb with nanoparticles, but failed.
Dane explained, "Deathstorm made the atomic distances in this bomb extremely close. The nuclear force has locked most of the relative motion between atoms, so nanoparticles are not small enough to invade it."
This bomb is now a neutered version of a strong interaction material. Even if a nuclear bomb explodes next to it, it might not be able to breach its surface.
When Dane grabbed it in the volcano just now, its surface was even cool, which proves that the molecular motion on the bomb's surface was very inactive.
Deathstorm seemed very worried about it exploding and took great care to secure it.
No wonder The Shazams didn't leave after getting the bomb; instead, they kept pestering Deathstorm.
Deathstorm helped them unlock the original lock, but then put a new one on it.
This somewhat refreshed Plastic Man's understanding, and he couldn't help but say, "I thought those guys wanted to destroy the World. Look at him, he doesn't look like a good person!"
Deathstorm's flaming skull head looked like some ominous entity, yet he had made so many efforts to protect the Earth.
But Batman looked at this miniaturized super bomb with some silence. He raised his head and met Dane's gaze, noticing that Dane's expression was also subtle.
"I have an idea, and I suspect your idea might be the same as mine."
Upon hearing this, Red Hood seemed to have thought of something as well, and said subtly, "I think I also know your idea, and I don't object.
This way, we can also deal with this thing directly; it's too dangerous to leave it on Earth."
Everyone had an unspoken understanding, except for Plastic Man, who wore a bewildered expression.
He couldn't help but say, "Guys, what are you talking about? Please be clearer, or I feel like an idiot."
Dane patted the cold Quantum Ontology Bomb and said leisurely, "We can use this thing to put on a grand fireworks show for our guests from OA, to give them a little shock..."
This could be considered making good use of waste, couldn't it?
Batman and Red Hood said nothing; they tacitly approved of the plan.
Everyone is a hypocrite. When facing alien invaders, the two of them wouldn't talk about human lives or humanitarianism at all.
Plastic Man now understood their idea, and his mouth gradually widened like the opening of a sack.
"To ensure this plan succeeds, we need Deathstorm's ability, and a suitable location..."
"How about the Moon?" Red Hood said.
Plastic Man looked at him in horror; this guy actually wanted to blow up the Moon!
That's the Moon!
Batman considered it seriously, then shook his head and said, "No, the Moon is very important to Earth's ecology and cannot be easily abandoned."
Plastic Man was almost numb. Even if it wasn't important, it still couldn't be done; that's the Moon!
Dane, however, had an idea: "Actually, according to your statement, every Planet in the Solar System is important and cannot be easily abandoned."
Plastic Man nodded; he didn't want to look up at the sky one day and find that one of the stars was gone.
But Dane immediately added, "Why don't we broaden our perspective? Why wait for the people from OA to come to us?"
Batman and Red Hood understood instantly, and both said at the same time, "OA!"
That's right, as long as the Quantum Ontology Bomb is installed on OA, with a "Bong," the entire Planet will turn into nothingness along with the Power Rings.
It's just... isn't this really a massacre?
Plastic Man's scalp tingled; these people are so evil!
Sure enough, the rumors were true: Shazam and Batman are the people in the Justice League who absolutely cannot be provoked!
"We should first investigate OA to ensure there are no civilians or innocent people on it."
Batman's words sounded calm, yet they revealed a certain ruthlessness.
Dane nodded: "I will ask Sinestro to confirm this..."
At this moment, Deathstorm woke up from his coma. As soon as he regained his vision, he saw the few people in front of him and immediately became nervous.
"Don't be nervous, Deathstorm, we are the Justice League. We have a new job we'd like to offer you..."
...Meanwhile, Waller breathed a sigh of relief after safely escorting Martian Manhunter to a special prison.
The intrinsic field generator was provided to them by Batman; it could ensure that Martian Manhunter wouldn't suddenly phase out and escape. But this Martian also had other superpowers besides phasing.
Waller had him blindfolded, his hands bound, and special sonic devices were placed around the prison to interfere with Martian Manhunter's psychic abilities.
"Do you think this can hold me?"
Just as Waller was about to turn and leave, Martian Manhunter suddenly spoke.
Waller turned her head, looking at Martian Manhunter, who was completely restrained.
"These are useless to me." Martian Manhunter struggled with both hands, and the ultra-alloy restraints on his wrists were directly torn apart.
Waller's expression changed. This restraint was made from their strongest alloy, and she hadn't expected it to be broken so easily.
"Amanda Waller, you might have some misunderstandings about me."
Martian Manhunter continued to wear his blindfold, yet he seemed to look at Waller without any hindrance.
"Although I've never said it, my power is the same as Ultraman's. You think you can trap me with these toys?"
He sneered, "You're far too naive."
Waller was surprised but not flustered. She was a person who had experienced major events and had long mastered the skill of not showing emotions.
Therefore, after hearing Martian Manhunter's words, she merely said indifferently, "If that's the case, then why don't you open that door, walk out, and kill us all?"
Although Martian Manhunter's words were arrogant, he never took a step out of the door, as if he was wary of something.
Martian Manhunter's face instantly darkened upon hearing this.
Waller seemed to suddenly think of something amusing and let out a low laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Martian Manhunter frowned.
Waller said unhurriedly, "I'm thinking, since you have the ability to come out, but you don't, the only reason is that you don't dare! You are afraid!"
Waller saw Martian Manhunter's arrogant demeanor shrink at a visible speed, and her confidence grew.
"Yes, that's right, you're afraid. In the Syndicate, you didn't dare to resist Ultraman. Here, you don't dare to resist the Justice League.
Because you know that once you make any rash move, the Justice League will act again..."
At this point, Waller chuckled again.
"I heard that Shazam, the leader of the Justice League, has already killed Mazahs and captured Ultraman. Presumably, he is not only powerful but also not averse to killing."
"Tell me, if you get caught again after this prison break, will he spare your life?"
Martian Manhunter gripped the ultra-alloy steel door of the prison with both hands. The alloy door visibly deformed, as if it would be torn open the next moment.
Waller's heart skipped a beat, feeling somewhat uneasy.
But fortunately, before the door was completely damaged, Martian Manhunter stopped. He walked into the prison and sat on the only bed.
A leisurely voice came from within:
"Don't easily provoke enemies you cannot afford to provoke, young human."
"You cannot afford the cost of any mistakes!"
