"Probably how long will this take? Can we end it in three minutes?" Diana asked in a low voice.

Connors: "???"

Sensing the speechlessness from Connors, Diana couldn't bear to disappoint the man behind her and whispered, "I want to end this disaster as soon as possible."

"Wonder Woman" Diana was also a hero who had just debuted. She had a strong sense of justice when disaster struck, and Connors had no mentality to attack her. "Hurry up on the important things first."

While talking, the horse had crossed the city and arrived near a lake where a factory also existed. Amplification and Spider-Sensing made Connors realize that "Martian Manhunter" J'onn J'onzz and "Batman" Bruce's breath were here.

"They seem to need help," Diana said, looking at the alien factory below that was constantly spewing smoke. The factory shell also had a broken hole, but the factory continued to work, and it was clear that the people inside had made little progress.

"Go, you," Connors said.

"What about you?" The alien factory just now was destroyed too easily, making Diana instinctively think that Connors was here to assist them.

"The task of saving the world is left to you, and I am only responsible for watching the excitement," Connors finished, and jumped off the skeleton horse. When he was in mid-air, he had already used his Mimicry ability again, changing himself from wearing the image of a common black trench coat in Gotham to a white, hollow cheese man.

Inside the factory, "Martian Manhunter" J'onn J'onzz and Batman hid behind a bunker, which was completely covered by White Martian bullets. "We're trapped," said the Martian Manhunter.

"I thought you'd use your superpowers to solve it." Batman removed a Batarang from his waist, quickly calculated the effort and ejection route, and threw the dart out. Instead of flying towards the White Martian who fired the bullet, the Batarang flew towards a vein-like bulge and bounced back after hitting it. After rebounding several times, the Batarang fell into the midst of the White Martians and exploded.

"J'onn, now!" Batman called to J'onn J'onzz, running two steps forward. "J'onn!"

"Martian Manhunter" J'onn J'onzz remained motionless behind the bunker, his eyes glowing orange. "Superman and Aquaman fail."

Batman looked distrustful. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I can feel it. Fortunately, our support has arrived," J'onn J'onzz said. His green face couldn't see any expression.

As soon as he finished speaking, "Wonder Woman" Diana had rushed in with a big sword. "You're too slow."

"Yes, we need to go this way a little faster," J'onn J'onzz was not surprised by Diana's arrival and pointed in a direction.

The three of them rushed towards the direction J'onn was pointing. The road inside the factory was tortuous, but under the Martian Manhunter's leadership, the three of them did not stumble, and their goal went straight to the central core.

"I need you to help me divert my attention, and I will get the crystal in the central core," J'onn J'onzz said.

Without hesitation, Batman took out a Batarang again and threw it out, exploding in the pile of White Martians guarding the central core. "Wonder Woman" Diana also tied the Lasso of Truth to the big sword again and threw it out. She was relatively simple and rough, intending to smash it directly, just like the previous factory. But it seemed that the White Martians here had learned the lesson from the last factory. Instead of letting the big sword ignore it, they rushed over one by one. They hit the big sword with their bodies, and even if one died on the spot, more companions rushed forward. The big sword that Diana smashed was tilted by the body of the White Martian. She failed to succeed. A series of bullets had already been fired at her.

"Martian Manhunter" J'onn J'onzz watched as the two had attracted most of the fire, and his body rapidly weakened and sank into the veins beneath his feet. By the time he appeared again, he was already standing in the central core. A punch pierced the head of the White Martian guarding there. J'onn J'onzz reached into the heart-like core and took out the crystals.

The "heart" immediately stopped contracting. J'onn J'onzz was about to greet Batman and Diana to evacuate when he himself was hit by a White Martian bullet that popped up from a hidden corner. J'onn J'onzz fell to the ground while the red crystal came out of his hand and landed not far away.

"Wonder Woman" Diana hid her body behind the bunker, pulled the Lasso of Truth hard with both hands, and retracted the sword into her magic pocket. The factory had stopped working, but the "Martian Manhunter" had also fallen after a bullet.

Batman put on a pair of finger guards with lightning flashing. "Take him away quickly, you withdraw first!" Without hesitation, Diana suddenly jumped from her hiding place to where J'onn J'onzz was. The Lasso of Truth bundled him, and she fled quickly towards the exit.

Batman, on the other hand, faced the attack of the White Martians alone. He fired a grappling hook and swung it out, then the crystal J'onn J'onzz had removed was held in his arms.

Ding.

A White Martian pressed the button, and the exit to the outside world immediately squirmed, and the colorful gum spread rapidly. Diana and J'onn J'onzz rushed out first, but Batman, who was one step behind, got stuck in it.

Boom!

The charged finger guards hit the colloid blocking the exit, and the hard but elastic substance showed no tendency to break. Batman turned his head and saw that a large group of White Martians had surrounded him.

Separated from Batman by a layer of colloid, J'onn J'onzz raised his head weakly and couldn't help shouting, "Batman!" Unfortunately, it was not Batman's deep voice that responded to him, but the stretch deformation caused by the White Martian bullet on the colloid.

"He's dead," J'onn J'onzz said with a low eyebrow and slight sadness.

"Someone outside said you were dead." Connors mingled among the White Martian crowd, hitting them with all the bullets he had snatched from them, and said to Batman.

"I'm not that easy to die," Batman said. His body seemed to have weakened at this time, and even if Connors stood with him face to face, "Spider-Sense" could not detect him.

"What are you holding that crystal for? After being taken away by these alien creatures, they will open the factory again." Connors still looked like a White Martian. While luring the unsuspecting White Martian to deal with Batman, he shot them one by one and asked, pointing at the crystal.

"I'm of great use," Batman wasn't going to explain.

"Oh, I'll open the exit for you. Go out quickly. I want this factory to be of great use," Connors issued an eviction order.

"I want to see what you plan to do with that crystal," Batman was unmoved.

"Then tell me first what you want to do with that crystal," Connors said simply to satisfy his curiosity.

The two men were in a stalemate for a while, and Connors gave in, manipulating the factory to reverse into tentacles, allowing the black smoke to swallow it into his stomach.

"…Does your horse have this feature?" Batman's eyes widened.

"Okay, it's time for you to tell me what you plan to do with the crystals," Connors retracted the black smoke that needed to be digested and said.

Driving a Batwing borrowed from Batman, Connors whistled leisurely. Batman wanted to use the crystals to reverse the work of the factory—that is, to reverse the program that spews soot and turn it into an absorption process. Originally, the master planned to hide this from Connors, but he changed his mind after seeing the scene where Connors made black smoke swallow his tentacles, and even made Connors keep the last factory. That's the one where Superman and Aquaman were trapped.

The Batwing stopped in mid-air, Connors leaped down, and the warplane was steered by Alfred toward the Batcave.

"Red, you came so coincidentally. I happen to have something new to tell you," Harley Quinn was unusually excited about Connors's arrival.

"What's going on?" Connors quizzed.

"Shh~" Harley gestured, then pulled Connors and trotted all the way. Catwoman and the others seemed to use this factory as a dungeon for monsters, constantly training their combat abilities with White Martians. Especially Zatanna, where thick thunder and lightning continued to strike. Connors smelled the air and estimated that the factory must be 70 to 80 percent destroyed.

Harley Quinn pretended to be mysterious. "I smell you from Ivy. The new thing I want to say is a—"

"My body is cold on the outside and hot on the inside now."

PLS SUPPORT ME AND THROW POWERSTONES.
