In the Real World, since this dream was controlled by Cortana, Dane's departure did not affect the dream's operation.
But his disappearance still caused concern among his teammates.
"Where was Dane taken?" Batman said into his comms, "Zatanna, what's your assessment?"
Because the magic-nullifying effect had disappeared, Zatanna could now use her magic power.
She carefully observed the positions of the demons, calculated for a moment, and then said, "Dane should have been taken into hell!"
At these words, several women who had substantial relationships with Dane simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
They all knew Dane carried a hell key, and if things went wrong, he would actively teleport back.
But the other team members didn't know!
Batman frowned and continued to ask, "How can we rescue him?"
"In fact, you don't have to do anything!" Constantine suddenly cut into the channel.
He was the only Justice League member not present in the previous battle; he was still in Midway City, helping the Justice Society close the hell gate. But he never expected that just as he finished, hell gates would bloom all over All America, making his efforts futile.
So when he saw a huge hole tear open in the sky over Los Angeles, he suggested that the Justice Society accompany him to Los Angeles for the final battle.
Only by defeating the most important opponents would this crisis end; otherwise, they would just be firefighters, and how could they ever completely eradicate the demons that way?
The Justice Society discussed it and felt he had a point, and they were willing to trust the Justice League's reputation. Constantine should have some integrity, right... Of course, he didn't forget the Suicide Squad either, bringing them along as well. Cannon fodder... no, the more helpers, the better.
At first, Deadshot stubbornly refused, fearing that Shazam would strike him down with lightning the moment they met... He had known Dane's true identity long before Dane used a confusion spell to obscure his identity, after all, he had given Dane a bullet back when Vanguard Technology was just starting out.
For years, he had been on edge, fearing that Shazam would suddenly come looking for trouble.
So when Batman came to arrest him, he surrendered without a word.
But when Deadshot heard Constantine say that Shazam had been taken into hell by demons, he had nothing to fear.
So he, along with the other members of the Suicide Squad, was teleported to Los Angeles by Doctor Fate.
As soon as they landed, the group couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Good heavens, this place looked a hundred times worse than Midway City, where they had just been fighting!
It was as if a natural disaster had swept through; there were hardly any intact buildings left in the entire city. Roads and streets were filled with demons and hellfire, as well as countless victims.
They could even see many strangely shaped demons performing very abstract performance art with human corpses.
A group of Atlanteans in full power armor were locked in a desperate battle with those demons, the scene extremely tense.
Bodies shattered by plasma weapons and demonic Talons were scattered everywhere.
The Suicide Squad and the younger members of the Justice Society felt their stomachs churn; they suddenly regretted coming here.
Deadshot and Bloodsport also had some regrets; if they had known Los Angeles was this bad, they should have stayed in Midway City to clear out minor monsters; how much easier that would have been!
Doctor Fate's expression beneath his helmet was grave; everything before his eyes confirmed his prophecy. The revelations of fate were absolute, and even he could not change them.
He had already learned from Constantine that Shazam had been manipulated and was now trapped in hell.
"The key to the problem still lies with those Demon Lords; other Imps can be temporarily ignored."
Previously, they could maintain a balance of power, with top-tier combatants dealing with Demon Lords and other heroes handling the demonic legions.
But with the full opening of the hell gates, the number of all heroes became stretched thin, simply unable to cope.
Across the vast territory of the United States, heroes were always insufficient.
In this situation, the best approach was to prioritize the major threats, dealing with the Greater Demons first, then slowly handling the Imps.
However, superheroes generally have a kind heart and cannot bear to see innocent civilians die or get injured. They often leave a battle halfway through to save people, and the consequence of this disorganization and lack of discipline is that the person saved one second is dead the next second after the hero turns away.
As a result, neither the team fight nor the jungling was successful; all efforts were wasted.
Understanding this, at Batman's suggestion, led by the Justice League, all superhero forces truly began to consolidate.
They jointly attacked the five Demon Lords who remained in the human World.
Doctor Fate and Hawkman first targeted Shabak; they were unaware that Shabak had now become a Parasite Demon.
Albert transformed into a giant and punched the Parasite Demon, but the laughing Parasite Demon directly caught his fist, swung him around, and smashed him towards the Justice Society.
The entire Justice Society dodged.
The concrete ground was like a cookie for Albert, easily crushed by him, along with the nearby Imps.
Due to his immense weight, the fall left Albert somewhat dizzy.
But the Parasite Demon had already copied his abilities. When Doctor Fate rushed over, the Parasite Demon's body instantly expanded, and it swept its large hand, grabbing Doctor Fate's body.
Hawkman also arrived to support at this time, but Doctor Fate became a weapon in the Parasite Demon's hand. It swung this weapon, forcefully knocking Hawkman away.
Cyclone Maxine stirred up the dust and stones on the ground, attacking the Parasite Demon with powerful wind pressure.
But the Parasite Demon just stood there; the wind blowing on him was like a gentle breeze across a mountain, unable to move him at all.
It took a deep breath, its chest puffed out, and blew out a gust of wind like a passing typhoon, sending Cyclone flying... Wonder Woman seized the opportunity to swing her godfire sword at its feet, severing its Achilles tendon.
The Parasite Demon still had a human-like body structure; with its Achilles tendon severed, it immediately knelt down.
At this moment, Hal materialized a giant gauntlet and smashed it into the Parasite Demon's face, knocking it down.
Wonder Woman saw this as a good opportunity! She leaped up, her godfire sword aimed at the Parasite Demon's throat, intending to sever it.
But the Parasite Demon reacted incredibly fast, waving its large hand and knocking Wonder Woman away.
At the same time, other heroes also pounced, giving the Parasite Demon no chance to breathe.
No, I need more power!
The powers of Doctor Fate and Hawkman could not be absorbed; they both relied on equipment to enhance their strength, not their own power.
Cyclone and Albert's abilities were mediocre; absorbing them wouldn't be of much use.
Wonder Woman must have been tipped off, as she was very careful to protect herself with that shield, giving the Parasite Demon no opportunity.
The Parasite Demon changed its mind, broadening its perspective.
After recovering from its leg injury, it didn't retaliate against the heroes but turned and ran towards the other Demon Lords.
"He's escaping! Chase him!" Hawkman charged out first, trying to intercept the Parasite Demon.
But the Parasite Demon turned around, snatched him, and threw him into a building.
His output capability was indeed too low.
Damn it! I should have brought the artifacts! Hawkman thought bitterly.
As the reincarnation of an Egyptian prince, he also possessed several artifacts from that era, capable of unleashing attacks comparable to gods by utilizing the Earth's magnetic field.
Unfortunately, due to their immense power, he had sealed them away.
This time, due to the urgency, he hadn't had time to retrieve them.
Otherwise, let alone one Shabak, even if Shazam and Superman came... well, he wouldn't speak too confidently. 1.3
But dealing with this demon would definitely be no problem!
After shaking off Hawkman's entanglement, the Parasite Demon went straight to Scylla, the Mother of Six Beasts, who was still fighting Karasen.
But with Aini directing the legion to help, it had gradually turned the tide.
It was a little surprised to see Shabak arrive and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Don't be fooled by their seemingly pleasant cooperation; in reality, Demon Lords have no trust in each other whatsoever.
Even so, Scylla utterly disdained Shabak, considering it merely a false lord catalyzed by their Rock of Eternity.
But it clearly hadn't noticed that the Parasite Demon now possessed new capabilities.
The Parasite Demon showed it a sinister grin, and without a word, plunged its claws into Scylla's body.
Instantly, Scylla felt its magic power rapidly draining away. In terror, it tried to shake off the Parasite Demon.
But the Parasite Demon's hands were deeply embedded in Scylla's flesh, and no matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't break free.
Seeing this, Karasen quickly moved away from them, fearing being caught in the crossfire...
