After Clark destroyed the giant radar at Blue Valley High School, he, Courtney, who had already awakened Star-Spangled Kid, and the others entered the Injustice Society's underground secret base.
Seeing bodies everywhere in the base, their eyes widened in surprise.
"This is!"
Courtney swallowed, covering her mouth with a bit of revulsion.
The scene before her was hard to accept; after covering her mouth, she ran to the side and threw up violently.
"This is Dragon King."
Pat, driving the robot, looked at a body lying on the ground.
"Dragon King," who was disguised as Scarecrow and completely covered, had a large cut across his chest, revealing internal organs that were almost cooked.
Hourman lifted Dragon King's mask, and a blood-stained, pained Japanese face appeared before them.
"Dragon King's identity is Japanese. This should be the real Dragon King."
Hourman narrowed his eyes, his tone complex as he spoke.
"This is Principal Isaac."
Wildcat also discovered another body lying on the ground.
The female principal of Blue Valley High School, Principal Isaac, who was beloved by students, lay on the ground, her chest pierced by a laser beam.
Beside her, a violin was placed.
"Why is Principal Isaac here?"
Wildcat asked, her face full of shock.
Seeing the violin beside her, Star-Spangled Kid shook his head, "I recognize this violin. It's the Fiddler's weapon."
"The Fiddler?"
Courtney, who had finished throwing up, looked at Pat, "Pat, do you mean Principal Isaac was also a villain member of the Injustice Society?"
"It seems so."
Star-Spangled Kid sighed, "I've never seen the Fiddler's true face. I didn't expect her to be your school's principal. She's certainly been lurking deep."
"Who did this, exactly?"
Midnight Doctor swallowed, took two steps forward, and stepped on a hard piece of ice.
Crack!
The ice shattered instantly.
Startled by the sound of the ice breaking, she looked down and let out a terrified scream.
"Ah!"
Hearing her scream, the others immediately rushed over.
Looking at Icicle, frozen and with his arm shattered on the ground, everyone gasped in unison.
"Icicle is dead?!"
Clark's eyes flashed with solemnity as he looked at Icicle's body lying on the ground.
Has Eric already arrived?
"Who did it?"
Courtney cast a suspicious glance at Clark, "Eric did it, right?! I know only he could cause this level of scorching!"
"I don't know."
Clark shook his head.
"Buzz!"
While they were still shocked by the scene, Courtney's phone suddenly rang.
She pulled out her phone to see that the caller was her mother, Barbara.
Both surprised and delighted, Courtney answered the phone.
"That's great, Mom's awake, and everyone else is awake too!"
After talking to Barbara for a few moments and hanging up, Courtney excitedly told Pat, "The adults in town are all awake too."
She then walked over to Clark and said excitedly, "Thank you, Clark, thank you for destroying the giant radar at the school, otherwise everyone would still be controlled by Brainwave."
"What about Brainwave now?"
Clark didn't show much excitement, turning his head to look around.
He also activated his X-Ray Vision, looking through the walls at his surroundings.
At this moment, Eric had already left the Injustice Society base in Blue Valley.
Brainwave, whom Clark was searching for, was currently in Eric's hand, unconscious.
He had already forced Brainwave to plant a subconscious thought in the minds of everyone in Metropolis and Smallville according to his will.✿.｡.:* ☆:* *: . . :* *: . ☆ * . :｡.✿
Although it wouldn't take effect immediately, the idea buried in everyone's minds would eventually be ignited by him one day.
Considering that Brainwave still had some use, Eric had no intention of killing him, but instead planned to imprison him within the Justice Society.
Although somewhat dangerous, without the giant radar diffuser and various equipment, Brainwave's current abilities couldn't control anyone.
While flying through the sky with Brainwave, Eric suddenly felt a familiar energy approaching.
Eric frowned, slowly descending from the sky with the unconscious Brainwave.
As soon as he landed, he saw a green energy descend in front of him.
Green Lantern, surrounded by a green energy mass, revealed himself.
Then Supergirl Kara followed Green Lantern, slowly descending from the sky.
On the ground, Wonder Woman appeared, along with a woman with black hair, black stockings, and long legs.
"Eric, we meet again!"
Kara was the first to speak to Eric, "I heard you've been very busy lately! If I were to look for you in Smallville, I probably wouldn't find you for a while."
"Is that so? Then you must be mistaken, I rarely go out."
Eric replied.
He didn't know what the purpose of these people was, so he braced himself to deal with them.
Zatanna, standing next to Wonder Woman, looked at Eric; she felt like she had seen him somewhere before.
"Is he Eric Kent?"
Zatanna asked Wonder Woman.
"Yes, the monster born from your magical backlash has an inseparable connection with him."
Wonder Woman's gaze remained fixed on Eric as she replied.
"Inseparable connection?"
Zatanna didn't understand the meaning of that sentence.
"That monster is almost identical to the monsters in Eric Kent's writings. I don't believe it has nothing to do with him. Although the identity of the culprit behind those mentally controlled adults in Metropolis hasn't been investigated yet, I believe that given Eric Kent's personality, he must be involved."
"Is that so?"
Zatanna looked at Eric, who was holding Brainwave in one hand, and a suspicious look appeared in her eyes.
Her magical attainments were extremely high, and her mental perception surpassed ordinary people, so she could sense the terrifying nature of the person Eric held in his hand.
"Eric, is the Metropolis incident related to you?"
Kara directly and bluntly asked Eric.
"While I'm quite interested in similar superhuman activities, I don't support such ostentatious behavior, so I'm sorry to disappoint you, Kara, this has nothing to do with me."
"Then who is that guy in your hand?"
Kara asked Eric.
"Him?"
Eric glanced at the unconscious Brainwave in his hand and said, "Brainwave, a member of the Injustice Society. He's also the culprit behind the disturbance. If you're here for this, you can just take him back."
Hearing Eric say this, Wonder Woman and the others were slightly surprised, not expecting to find the instigator of everything just by acting casually.
However...
Wonder Woman cast a suspicious gaze at Eric. She didn't believe he would be so kind as to hand over a suspect to her.
"Are you sure?"
Wonder Woman took a step forward and asked Eric.
"Of course."
Eric still maintained a calm expression, "Now this guy is unconscious, you can just come and take him away."
Although they still highly doubted Eric's intentions, seeing that there were four of them, they no longer suspected him and walked directly in front of Eric, reaching out to take Brainwave's body.
Eric, holding Brainwave by the collar, handed Brainwave to Wonder Woman.
But the moment Wonder Woman's hand touched Brainwave's body, she suddenly heard a crisp "crunch."
Brainwave let out a muffled groan, his head tilted, his neck snapped, and he completely lost his breath in his unconscious state.
Both startled and enraged, Wonder Woman saw Eric twist the man's neck, and her anger instantly surged.
"Ah, sorry, my hand slipped!"
Eric gave Wonder Woman an apologetic smile, "My hands have been sweating a lot lately, so they tend to slip easily!"
Saying that, he handed Brainwave's corpse to Wonder Woman, "Although he's already a corpse, I believe that if it's you, even from a corpse, you can still investigate useful information, right?!"
"Ugh-ha!"
The short-tempered Wonder Woman roared, and her magic sword instantly appeared in her hand from her bracelet.
Without hesitation, she directly slashed at Eric.
She had decided, no matter what, she would kill this bastard today!
Facing Wonder Woman's outburst, Eric, who had already prepared in advance, stepped back to dodge her slash.
Bang!
Wonder Woman, who jumped up fiercely, quickly moved to where Eric dodged, and with a horizontal slash of her magic sword, she struck towards Eric's chest.
Sizzle!
Eric, being attacked, naturally wouldn't sit idly by. Heat Vision shot out from his eyes, aiming for Wonder Woman's chest.
Reacting quickly, Wonder Woman raised her wrist, using the white silver bracelets on her wrists to block the impact of his Heat Vision.
The intensely destructive Heat Vision was deflected by the silver bracelets, cutting through Wonder Woman's cape and leaving a gash.
On the other side, Zatanna, who was dumbfounded by Wonder Woman's outburst, saw the Heat Vision shooting from Eric's eyes and was in disbelieving shock, but immediately realized something was wrong.
She remembered that the wound on her father's back was also caused by a similar laser.
A strong laser-like energy beam had left a deep burn wound on her father's back.
Comparing this Eric Kent with the person wearing an Owl mask she saw through the portal that day, their figures gradually merged.
This guy is the culprit who injured her father?
This bastard!
No!
Zatanna, about to act, immediately forced herself to calm down. She couldn't be 100% sure yet; she needed to continue observing.
If she were 100% certain that he was the bastard who had put her father in bed for many days, she would definitely make him taste that same suffering.
