"I advise you not to. Wonder Woman is terrifying when she gets angry." Hal shook his head.
Soon, Wonder Woman flew out of the crater and stood on the ground again.
"You remind me of Superwoman." Martian Manhunter said.
Both of them were equally warlike and equally tenacious.
Well, another precise misstep. Zatanna secretly complained.
Indeed, Diana's face darkened, and she said in a low voice, "You will find that I am stronger than you imagine!"
With that, Diana directly took flight. Before Martian Manhunter could enter the phased state, she preemptively clapped her hands together, unleashing a massive divine Impact.
This directly interrupted Martian Manhunter's movements, and the Impact sent him flying far away.
Diana had sparred with Martian Manhunter many times in the Justice League, so she was very familiar with his state before he phased.
Martian Manhunter, as his counterpart, was highly consistent with him in this regard; they both had the same pre-activation preparations.
Diana seized this opportunity to interrupt his "casting" first; otherwise, this ability would be too disgusting. Unless it was an artifact specifically designed to restrict such abilities, her weapons wouldn't be able to hit him at all.
Diana chased after Martian Manhunter, intending to press her advantage.
But Martian Manhunter was very cunning; he had already reinforced the hardness of his body before the mental impact, so although his body parted the Earth along with the inertia, he himself was completely unharmed.
However, he realized that there was a World of difference between his combat experience and hers, and close-quarters combat was not to his advantage.
Although Martian Manhunter possessed super strength and super speed almost comparable to Ultraman, he had never been able to fully unleash this power.
Despite being born a Martian, a race that died out in war, he was actually a good-for-nothing.
Nevertheless, he still had a unique skill, and it was with this skill that he had performed so bravely when dealing with his former employer.
This unique skill was an ability almost all Martians possessed—telepathy.
And after undergoing genetic technological modification, this ability of his became even more powerful and bizarre, even enough to cause mental mutations in Martians.
It was based on his mental characteristics that Martian scientists had created a new type of mental virus within him, destroying all Martians.
After realizing the anomaly in his mental power, Martian Manhunter had been diligently studying his telepathy, attempting to develop a way to use the ability so that it could also affect Kryptonians like Ultraman.
Ultraman was different from Superman; he not only had high magic resistance but also strong mental resistance. Martian Manhunter had once tried to invade his mind and almost got choked to death on the spot by an enraged Ultraman.
After that, Martian Manhunter secretly decided that he must develop a psychic ability that could also affect Kryptonians. He believed that only psychic power might be Ultraman's blind spot in defense.
And he had made some progress, which he could just use on these people.
As Wonder Woman was about to approach, Martian Manhunter directly activated his psychic ability. The powerful mental energy transformed into an outward-expanding psychic noise, exploding in Diana's mind, causing her to instantly fall to the ground.
But fortunately, the Star-Spangled Crown had the effect of resisting psychic abilities, which weakened the power of Martian Manhunter's move.
However, in this situation, Wonder Woman was clearly finding it very difficult to launch an active attack against Martian Manhunter.
"This is a new move I've developed recently, what do you think?" Martian Manhunter was quite pleased with himself, "I think even Ultraman would find it hard to resist this kind of mental attack."
Although he said that, Martian Manhunter was still a bit surprised because he thought this move would directly incapacitate his opponent, but he didn't expect Wonder Woman to still be able to grit her teeth and hold on.
But that was all it was; Martian Manhunter's ability couldn't last too long, and he had to deal with his opponent as quickly as possible.
Therefore, red beams of light lit up in his eyes again, intending to kill Wonder Woman with his Cyclops.
But at this moment, a green meteor fell from the sky, directly hitting Martian Manhunter.
A red and yellow lightning bolt flashed around Wonder Woman, sending Diana back to the rear area.
"I'm fine! I can keep fighting!" Diana said, displeased.
This made Barry somewhat conflicted.
But Zatanna rolled her eyes and unceremoniously retorted, "Oh, please, if it weren't for us, you'd be in big trouble by now!"
Then she looked over gravely and saw that Hal's expression had also changed; he seemed to be in some pain.
"What kind of ability is that?"
"A mental attack force. I guess he's enveloped by a special force field, and that field can directly affect one's mind."
Batman observed for a few minutes and came to this conclusion.
"Then how is Hal unaffected?" Barry was a bit curious.
"He's not unaffected; rather, he's resisting Martian Manhunter's psychic power with his own willpower." Dr. Kimiyo Hoshi admired Hal greatly.
"Then what should we do?" Vixen felt helpless; she didn't know what animal could guard against psychic abilities. Was Martian Manhunter such a tricky character? But he usually seemed so weak!
"We can't just stand here and do nothing, can we?"
Batman thought for a while and suddenly remembered something.
When recruiting new members for the Justice League, there was one candidate he initially opposed because he felt that person was a bit unreliable.
That person was Plastic Man.
And as a control freak, although the Justice League did not advocate background checks on members, Batman still secretly did them, so he knew that Plastic Man originally had a criminal record; he was a thief.
Although the crime was not serious, it was still a blemish, so Batman had quite a few reservations about it.
But at that time, Dane smiled and told him, "You don't have to doubt Plastic Man's sense of justice. Although he has some criminal records, he has long since reformed."
"Besides, his ability is also what we need; you should face this point."
"Ability? You mean that ability to transform freely?" Batman frowned. This ability was indeed very versatile, but for combat, it wasn't particularly outstanding.
At that time, they still had some other names on hand, such as Firestorm, whose ability was clearly stronger than Plastic Man's, but Dane still chose the latter.
"Plastic Man also has a very important ability, inconspicuous but very important."
"What is it?"
"His mind is very resilient, almost unaffected by any psychic power. Even J'onn's telepathy has absolutely no effect on him."
The flashback ended, and Batman immediately turned to Zatanna and said, "Teleport O'Brien here; we need him!"
Zatanna did as she was told, using her Magic Box to move Plastic Man from the North Pole Base to the battlefield.
"What. The. Hell..."
