When a large number of residents of Kandak turned into weakened versions of the motherland, pursuing Azu and Ismail.

The super-soldier who tied Adriana waited for a hovering car, threw the woman into the car, and drove away.

Also leaving Kandak City were a dozen or so flying cars, which were scattered from different directions and along different routes.

And this time.

The sky over Kandak City.

Kos. Adam, Hawkman, and Doctor Destiny are still entangled with clones.

In the night sky, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, making the sky dazzling and shining.

At the end of the lightning, Kos. Adam stretched out his arms and muscles bulging like a walking sculpture.

His skin glistened with lightning, his eyes sparkled with light, and when he slammed into it, it sent a series of thunderbolts that slammed into the clones' arms that staggered in front of their chests.

Bang!

A circle of ripples exploded in the sky.

The clone flew back some distance before stopping, expressionless and not at all injured.

Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded in the sky, and a thunderbolt of lightning instantly slashed down, directly towards the clone.

The clone looked up, covered its body with a 'bio-force field', and threw a punch that shattered the bolt of lightning.

Then he rushed to the Hawkman.

Hawkman originally wanted to take advantage, but unexpectedly, the mind of the clone was not completely placed on Kos. Adam's body.

In the face of the menacing clones, Hawkman also smashed them with a strong hammer.

But the clone reached out and held it, so that his war hammer could not be smashed again.

Then a golden glow glowed from the depths of the clone's eyes, and two 'thermonuclear rays' blasted out.

Hawkman hurriedly raised his shield, and was blown away in the next second.

The clone followed.

Hawkman rolls in the air, dodging the clones' attacks.

His warhammer and shield are like his right and left hands, both offensive and defensive.

He swooped down, slamming his hammer into the clone, then rising rapidly, shielding the clone's thermonuclear rays.

Despite the clones' aggressive and deadly attacks, Hawkman has always maintained his distance and superiority with his superb body skills and combat skills.

This creates an opportunity for his teammates to attack.

Wearing a golden helmet, Doctor Fate has now created hundreds of clones, each unleashing powerful magical energy and forming massive crystal chains.

Doctor Fate and his doppelgangers use these crystal chains to bind the clones to a tight place.

The clone struggled, trying to break free, but Doctor Fate's crystal chains seemed to have untold power that kept him immobile.

Immediately after, Doctor Fate waved his hands, and a crystal magic light bullet shot out in an instant, shooting towards the clone.

The clone was hit, and the body was instantly enveloped in a powerful energy, and then exploded.

Other clones followed suit, and for a while, the clones were bombarded with magic.

The glow of the explosion resembles a grand fireworks display.

However, the clone's biological force field is extremely strong, and even under such a magical bombardment, it is still strong.

He burst out of his divine power, and a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the night sky, and a violent aura rose into the sky, as if the space was about to tear it apart.

In the end, the space was not torn, but the crystal chains released by Doctor Fate and his clones were shattered by the clones.

Breaking free from its restraints, the clone's eyes lit up, and a torrent of gold erupted from its pupils.

He swept through many of Doctor Fate's clones with a 'thermonuclear ray', and when the Doctor's body was about to be hit, Hawkman arrived just in time to block the flow of light with his shield.

After sweeping away all the clones, the clones attacked the trio again.

He threw his punch, and the whole city seemed to tremble.

Kos. Adam, Hawkman, and Doctor Fate urgently teamed up to defend themselves, but were still overwhelmed by the clones' attacks.

The divine power exploded, and the clone's power grew stronger and stronger, and he attacked with thermonuclear rays at the same time.

Kos. Seeing that this was not good, Adam immediately used Thunder Lightning to fight back.

Suddenly, under the night sky.

Two powerful beams of energy collided in the air with huge sparks, destroying everything around them.

Hawkman took the opportunity to fly behind the clone and slammed his back with a warhammer.

The clone is hit, but only slightly shakes its body, then turns around and continues to attack Hawkman.

Doctor Fate also joins the fray, constantly using magic to attack the clones in an attempt to defeat him once and for all.

As the battle heated up, suddenly, the clone vanished without warning.

As a result, Kos, who launched an attack at the same time. Adam and Hawkman almost accidentally injured their comrades.

"What about others?"

Hawkman looked around, his eyesight was amazing, and he was able to see an ant on the ground from high in the air.

If the clone was just hiding, it would never be able to hide from his eyes.

"He's out of here."

Doctor Fate said in his helmet, "I've used magic to scout, and I can be sure that he's no longer here. ”

Kos. Adam narrowed his eyes and said, "Strange, what is he trying to do, come all the way to fight us?" ”

"I don't know."

Hawkman looked at Kandak at this time: "Wait, could it be that he did it on purpose?" ”

"What deliberately?" Kos. Adam looked at him.

Before Hawkman could reply, his telegraph went off, followed by the sound of a whirlwind.

"Oh no, Adriana was captured by the International Gang."

Kos. Adam's face changed and he immediately flew back into the city.

For this woman who has unlocked her seals and awakened herself from a thousand-year slumber, Kos. From time to time, Adam would mistake her for his wife.

This is also the reason why he rescued Adriana when he first woke up in the mine.

Even though he kept reminding himself that his wife had disappeared into the long river of time, he couldn't stop himself from caring for Adriana.

Soon, Black Adam meets Atom Smasher and Whirlwind, who have each gotten rid of the super-soldiers who are pestering him.

And Amon was with them.

See Kos. Adam, Amon immediately ran up and grabbed the arm of the man in black.

"Please, defender, please save my mother."

Kos. Adam looked at the Whirlwind and the Atom Smasher, "What's going on?" ”

"Aren't you superheroes, can't even ordinary people deal with them?"

With a look of shame on the whirlwind, the Atom Smasher took off his hood and said, "Those are not ordinary people, they have different strange abilities. ”

"And there are so many of them, there are only two of us, and after being entangled by them, we can only watch Adriana being captured."

Call!

The wind echoed, and the Hawkman fell from the sky and said in a deep voice: "If the International Gang did it, then their purpose is obvious." ”

"They want to trade Adriana for the 'Crown of Shabak'."

"We can't trade it for Adriana, it's cruel to say that, but the truth is, God knows what will happen if the 'Crown of Shabak' falls into the hands of the International."

Amon suddenly roared: "So you can ignore my mother's life or death?" ”

Doctor Fate fell to the ground, took off his helmet, and reassured, "We can find another way, and at this time, the International Gang has not made a clear request. ”

"We don't have to jump to conclusions."

Kos. Adam said in a deep voice, "Don't bother, I'll go to the mine and get people back now." ”

"No, you can't be so impulsive."

Doctor Fate hurriedly stopped: "They are not stupid, if they see you in the mine, they may immediately shoot Adriana." ”

"Wait."

"Wait until they ask."

"Also, didn't the Crown of Shabak say that it was taken away?"

"They shouldn't make such unreasonable demands."

While they were discussing, many Kandak residents gathered in the streets, and they were talking.

"This is not the place to talk, you come with me."

Kos. Adam picked Amon in his arms and flew into the sky.

Hawkman and the others also followed him away.

The inhabitants of Kandak watched them leave, and when they disappeared into the night sky, they suddenly became expressionless.

"Sure enough, my brother captured Adriana in exchange for the crown of Shabak."

"He wanted the plot to unfold the way it was."

"It's a pity that neither Kos. Adam is still the Justice Society, and none of them have the 'Crown of Shabak' in their hands. ”

"Won't I keep such an important prop myself?"

The inhabitants of the street said a word to me, and when they finished speaking, they all laughed.

International Gang, Mine Base.

Bang.

Adriana was thrown into a cell, and she fell to the ground, but the stubborn woman quickly got up again and threw herself at the door.

Outside the door, Ismail was looking at her.

"I don't want to meet you like this, dear Adriana."

Adriana said in a deep voice: "Ismail, it turns out that you have been using me all along! ”

"Yes, I'm taking advantage of you."

"But you know, do you think your work would have gone so smoothly without me?"

Ismail spread his hands and said, "If it weren't for me, you would have been killed by my men." ”

"Oh, they might have some fun with you before they kill you."

"So you see, it's thanks to me that you're alive until now."

"Otherwise, you're dead when you want to get in touch with something that doesn't belong to you."

Adriana said loudly, "Then you don't want to get the 'Crown of Shabak', and Kandak will soon be able to break free from your control!" ”

"Because we have defenders, he has awakened, and he will protect us!"

From Arjuna, he already knew what kind of person Black Adam was, and when he heard this, Ismail laughed.

"Don't you know?"

"That bald head is not what you think it is."

"He's not a defender, he's an avenger, and he's full of anger inside."

"When he went to the palace, he didn't go to protect Kandak, but to avenge his family."

"He's killing in the palace, otherwise why do you think he's been sealed?"

"Because he kills innocents indiscriminately."

"Do you think such a person will protect Kandak?"

Adriana was speechless, she also knew Kos from the Justice Society. Adam's past.

But she still has a glimmer of hope in her heart.

She hoped that Kos. Adam was able to pick himself up, to shoulder his responsibilities as a defender, to protect Kandak from outside force.

"Why?"

"You've taken control of Kandak and mined a lot of eternal metal, so why are you still looking for the 'Crown of Shabak'?"

Adriana changed the subject.

Ismail shrugged his shoulders: "If you sleep with me, I'll tell you." ”

"Shameless!" Adriana scolded.

Ishmael was indifferent, and he instructed the guards: "Watch over her, and if she loses, I will take your life." ”

Then he smiled at the woman behind the door.

"I have other things to do, and I'm sure we'll be able to meet soon."

He left prison.

Back in his office, Ismail saw Azu with his back to the door.

Azu put his hands behind his back and was looking out the window at the mine.

Ismail said respectfully: "Mr. John, we have already captured Adriana according to your orders. Adam they offered a quid pro quo? ”

Azu looked at the light that gradually appeared on the horizon outside the window.

"Wait."

"Let them hurry up."

Ismail said worriedly: "Ekos. Judging by the strength shown by Adam and the superheroes, if they attack the mines, there is nothing we can do. ”

Azu smiled: "Don't you have a shield, use it." ”

Ismail looked ashamed: "With the 'Eternal Metal' as the drive, the shield released can protect a limited range and cannot cover the entire base. ”

"That's easy."

"Then take Adriana with you, and turn on the shield to make sure you don't get rescued."

"I'll take care of the rest."

Azu turned around and said, "Now, let me see how strong your shield is. ”

It's already evening.

But there is no news from the International Gang.

This gives way to Kos in the ruins of the Kandak Palace. Adam and the others were in a hurry.

Especially Amon, the big boy has been fidgeting.

Then.

Above the heads of the people, a speeding car passed in the sky.

At the same time, the radio on the flying car repeats a message.

"I'm Ismail, if you want Adriana to return safely, I'll exchange the 'Crown of Shabak', I'll wait for you at the mine base."

"I'm Ismail."

Listening to the radio overhead, Hawkman pursed his lips: "Sure enough, I guessed it right, they want the 'Crown of Shabak'." ”

Doctor Fate frowned and said, "Strange, wasn't the Shabak Crown taken away by that man?" ”

"And, according to Amon, the man saved Ismail, and now the crown of Shabak should be in their hands."

"Even if they fall out, Ismail should know that the crown is not in our hands."

"Why would such a broadcast be issued?"

"Maybe Amon is mistaken, after all, Karim was killed in front of his eyes at that time, and it is not surprising that he would be mistaken."

"But even so."

The leader of the Justice Society looked at Kos. Adam: "You're not really going to trade that crown for it, are you?" ”

"You should know how dangerous that crown is and what kind of disaster it will bring."

Kos. Adam glanced at Amon and nodded, "I know." ”

"Legend has it that it can make the person who wears the crown become the demon Shabak."

"Shabak will make hell appear on earth, and it will make the world a living hell."

Hawkman nodded: "Then I'll be relieved." ”

"Rest assured?" Kos. Adam said, "Are you saying that sacrificing a woman's life is worth it compared to the whole world?" ”
