Dane was somewhat dazed; Circe, with her Witch-like face reminiscent of Eva Green, was speaking words like a saint, and the contrast was too strong.
Is this what they call an extreme reversal? In a World where advocating sin is worse than evil, such a pure soul could still emerge!
Dane finally understood how she ended up in her previous state; she probably didn't resist or even take precautions and was simply killed.
On the battlefield of gods, not being clever is courting Death.
At this moment, he suddenly thought that if the Golden Age Earth was a World where good and evil were equally balanced, then Circe might very well symbolize one of those beautiful qualities.
In stark contrast to the Circe in the original setting, Hera might not have been sealing her; instead, she was likely protecting her.
Protecting her kindness from the corruption of the World.
"Circe, you don't even have a body right now, and you can't even leave this library. How are you going to help me?"
Circe quickly said, "I know a lot of magic! Hecate taught me a lot of knowledge!"
Dane narrowed his eyes. So, she very likely received Hecate's blessing and possessed a portion of her divine power. Even if she didn't become a dark Witch like in the original, she must have known a great deal of ancient magic.
Most importantly, her magic originated from this World and would be closer to the World's essence than Dane's magic.
Originally, Dane was planning to go to places like Rome or the Vatican to find a random cathedral. He believed there would be plenty of priests who liked young boys in those places, so obtaining sacrifices wouldn't be an issue.
However, since Circe was willing to volunteer, he was also willing to give her a chance.
"Since you've said so, I can agree, but before that, you must be able to leave this place…"
Dane, for the first time in a while, used the power granted to him by Death. The God of Death's power didn't seem to work very well here; Luther's soul slipped away last time.
Only the gift of life from Death remained effective as always. He directly removed Hera's divine power deeply embedded in Circe's soul, allowing her to leave the library.
Circe felt a lightness in her body and cautiously peered out of the library. She realized she was finally free.
In the Sun, her face bloomed with a smile, and her body, penetrated by the Sun, was ethereal, like a fleeting dream.
This reminded Dane of the armless Venus in 'The Dreamers.'
Circe turned her head, revealing a pure smile: "Thank you…"
...Meanwhile, other members of the Justice League were busy.
Vixen and Dr. Light encountered their doppelgangers while pursuing the Syndicate.
Vixen's doppelganger was also a Zambian, calling herself Foxy Lady, and she also possessed animal abilities.
However, unlike Vixen, Foxy Lady's ability was to transform into various animals, not just use their powers.
Therefore, when Vixen saw that the opponent could directly transform into a lion, she couldn't help but quip, "I say, where did you hide your clothes?"
Your transformation is not very rigorous! How is it like Plastic Man?
Vixen still hadn't figured out how Plastic Man's clothes and glasses managed to deform in sync with him.
She had a somewhat embarrassing guess: could it be that Plastic Man's clothes and sunglasses were transformations of certain body parts? That he wasn't wearing anything at all?
Eww~~
Kida Miyo, on the other hand, met her doppelganger, a woman who called herself Light Lady. Like her, the opponent possessed the power to manipulate light energy, and she loved to blast lasers.
Kida Miyo heard Vixen's quip and turned back to say, "Perhaps you could learn that too? That way, when you can transform into a mammoth, you might be even more powerful?"
The lion that Foxy Lady transformed into leaped and pounced directly on Vixen.
The opponent seemed to truly understand the habits of felines. After pinning Vixen down, she immediately opened her massive jaws and aimed for Vixen's windpipe.
But that bite nearly shattered Foxy Lady's teeth.
"Guess what animal has the toughest skin in the World?"
After asking, Vixen suddenly punched the lioness in the abdomen.
Transforming into an animal meant she would also have the weaknesses of an animal.
"I don't know what you're thinking," Vixen said, after delivering a punch and then kicking with both feet, sending the lioness flying off her.
She gracefully flipped to her feet and told Foxy Lady, "But for me, being myself is the best."
No sooner had she spoken than a laser beam grazed past her head, nearly splitting it open.
"Kida Miyo!"
Kida Miyo heard this and, in the midst of her busy fight, spared a glance back and said, "Sorry, but as you can see, I'm quite busy."
With that, she brought her hands together, and beams of light shot from her palms, exploding around her opponent as if they were solid objects.
Her palms were like a grenade launcher with infinite rapid fire, and the explosions made even Vixen's scalp tingle.
Their mage battles were just that unpretentious. Both stood their ground, outputting damage, defending against attacks with shields, and shooting at their opponents like guns. Whoever chickened out, lost!
Amidst the smoke, a venomous snake suddenly coiled around Vixen's foot. She immediately recognized it as Foxy Lady's transformation.
With quick reflexes, she grabbed the snake in her hand, intending to give it a heavy slam.
But the snake instantly swelled up, transforming into a giant blue whale, directly pinning Vixen into the ground.
"Vixen!" Kida Miyo shouted, but her opponent seized the opportunity to strike her, sending her flying.
A few seconds later, seeing no reaction beneath her, Foxy Lady, who thought she had crushed her opponent to Death, reverted to her original form. But there was no corpse on the ground, only a hole about a meter in diameter.
As Foxy Lady crouched down to investigate, the ground behind her suddenly exploded, and Vixen leaped out, performing a rear naked choke on her opponent.
"Turning into a blue whale, that was quite something!"
At the critical moment, Vixen used a mole's digging ability to avoid the blue whale's crushing weight and enhanced her body's strength, but she was still left disheveled by her opponent, which made her furious.
However, Foxy Lady, before the choke could fully form, quickly transformed into a squirrel and escaped from her grasp. In mid-air, she transformed back into her original form and, using the momentum of her flight, kicked Vixen in the head.
However, Vixen not only didn't dodge but actively charged forward. When they collided, Vixen was unharmed, but Foxy Lady's foot hurt quite a bit.
Foxy Lady was excellent at using her abilities, transforming with ease.
But Vixen was no slouch either. As her opponent made a move, she had already thought of what ability to use in response, and because she didn't need to transform, Vixen's abilities were more subtle and deceptive.
Foxy Lady was injured by one move and wanted to temporarily retreat, but how could Vixen let her escape?
She grabbed Foxy Lady's injured foot, and with a powerful squeeze of her wrist, Foxy Lady cried out in pain.
Vixen then slammed her, throwing her several meters away.
Foxy Lady tried to transform again, but Vixen was already on top of her, smashing her fist into her face. The charging force of a rhinoceros instantly knocked Foxy Lady unconscious.
After dealing with her opponent, Vixen looked up at Kida Miyo's battlefield.
In the ruins where Kida Miyo had fallen, Light Lady was pressing her advantage, but the next moment, white light exploded from the ruins.
Kida Miyo's eyes were filled with intense white light, like a second Sun on the flat ground.
The lasers fired by Light Lady were all absorbed into Kida Miyo's body, eventually covering her entire body in a full-body light armor.
Kida Miyo raised her palm, and powerful light energy erupted from her palm, distorting the light of the surrounding air due to the scorching heat.
The light energy she emitted carried a strong impact and heat, finally concentrating on Light Lady's light energy barrier, then exploding with a roar. The powerful explosion tore through her shield, and the light energy struck Light Lady, causing a second explosion.
Light Lady was stunned on the spot. Her body was thrown high into the air and crashed into a tall building along a parabolic trajectory.
When Kida Miyo returned to the ground, Vixen walked up to her and said with a smile, "I think I never want to make you angry in my life."
Kida Miyo was a little embarrassed; that state only occurred when she was extremely angry, and she had only used it a few times.
"So, I guess we're done here, right?"
Vixen looked at the already chaotic street, then suddenly seemed to remember something.
"You don't think we'll have to pay for all this, do you?"
Kida Miyo's expression was subtle. The two exchanged glances, looking at each other in dismay.
Vixen made up her mind: if Amanda Waller dared to ask her for compensation, she would give her the middle finger!
