Katana observed for a long time, frowning.
Who was this person? To be able to go to such lengths to win.
However, her combat skills did have merits; Katana drew her "soul taker."
Huntress watched her warily, quietly pressing her communicator to send a distress signal to Poison Ivy and Harley.
Calling for backup when you can't win is not shameful.
"Katana, don't interfere; I want to fight this bitch myself!"
Killer Frost, who had climbed back up from the ground, was very angry; her opponent was clearly inferior, yet managed to make her fall using some tricks, and she was not convinced!
"We don't have that much time to waste," Katana reminded her.
They should have contacted Amanda immediately upon landing and informed her about what they saw in Atlantis.
"Don't worry, it won't take long!"
Killer Frost's arm gauntlets were already covered in a layer of frost; she showed Huntress an ill-intentioned smile.
But unfortunately, she was wearing a faceplate, so Helena couldn't see it.
Killer Frost fired a freezing ray at maximum power; this time, she covered a larger area, and with Huntress's ordinary human agility, she should have been unable to dodge it.
Huntress indeed didn't dodge, because she didn't need to.
Just as the freezing ray was about to hit, a vine suddenly rose from the ground to block Huntress, and the freezing ray only froze the vine.
Killer Frost had no idea what happened when a large hammer suddenly appeared beside her.
"Watch out!" Katana warned, drawing her Katana and rushing out.
But she was a little late; Killer Frost was instantly struck by the heavy hammer and sent flying, rolling several times on the beach.
This suit had good defensive capabilities, but its shock absorption was relatively poor, and a heavy hammer happened to be an armor-piercing weapon.
Fortunately, Killer Frost's own physical fitness was also good, so she wasn't directly killed by the shock.
However, her head was a bit dazed from the blow, temporarily losing combat effectiveness.
The person who wielded this hammer was Harley; after striking, she slung the hammer over her shoulder, the large hammer forming a strong contrast with her slightly petite body.
As she was gloating over her achievement, Katana had already swiftly sped to her side.
"Harley!"
Poison Ivy activated her ability, and a vine wrapped around Harley's wrist, tugging her away, dodging Katana's lightning-fast slash.
By the time Harley reacted, she found that half of her ponytail had been cut off—the red section.
She immediately became furious.
"You actually dared to cut my hair."
Poison Ivy and Huntress had black lines on their foreheads, and even Katana was a bit speechless.
Shouldn't you be most concerned about your life right now? We're in a deadly fight here!
She held her Katana in a firm grip, slashing at Harley.
Harley was fearless; her immense strength combined with the alloy hammer was perfectly complementary, and generally, no one dared to clash with her head-on, let alone a Katana.
As is well known, Katanas are the most fragile.
However, to her surprise, the opponent's Katana was not only not fragile but very hard.
Of course, the most crucial issue was that the opponent's strength was almost equal to hers!
So after one clash, both sides involuntarily entered a tug-of-war, and even with the hammer's weight, Harley couldn't suppress the opponent.
This astonished the observing Huntress and Poison Ivy; they knew best how strong Harley was; even the enhanced Barbara couldn't compare to her in this regard.
The most outrageous thing was that her strength was still slowly but steadily increasing.
"Where did this enemy come from?"
Poison Ivy frowned, looking at the Katana and the armor on her; she always felt that it resembled an N-metal product.
She herself had N-metal accessories given by Dane, so she could tell.
The enemy's identity was not simple!
Thinking this, Poison Ivy no longer had any interest in playing a one-on-one fighting game with the opponent; she immediately activated her ability to try and capture the enemy.
But Katana was more perceptive than she imagined; she had always been secretly wary of Poison Ivy.
Plants growing from underground make a sound, but it's usually hard for ordinary people to notice.
However, Katana, enhanced by Dane's God of Death power, possessed superhuman five senses and immediately detected the anomaly.
The moment the vines suddenly grew from the ground, she had already flown backward; Harley, not understanding why, chased after her, only to step into Poison Ivy's trap and get entangled.
Katana chose not to attack; she sheathed her Katana, pulled out two spherical small items from somewhere, and threw them out.
Huntress immediately realized: "Oh no! She's trying to escape!"
With a "bang," the small balls Katana threw exploded, and a cloud of smoke erupted.
Huntress and Poison Ivy hastily retreated; they couldn't take Harley out, so Poison Ivy could only have the vines wrap around her, temporarily protecting her.
What if the opponent suddenly attacked her with a Katana?
But fortunately, the opponent didn't do that; by the time the smoke cleared, there was nothing left on the scene except a large ball wrapped in vines.
Poison Ivy controlled the plants to release Harley, who complained: "You should have said something first!"
Poison Ivy rolled her eyes; say it beforehand, and let the opponent know?
Huntress examined the footprints left by the opponent, her gaze directed towards the road leading to the city.
"We must pursue her!"
"So who exactly are they? Why did you start fighting?"
Huntress said self-righteously: "I don't know, but landing in this manner in the middle of the night, do you think there's a greater chance they're good guys or bad guys?"
Poison Ivy and Harley then looked at the submarine, half of its hull in the sea.
"Is that a... submarine?"
"And a military submarine! Those two people are definitely problematic."
Well, now Poison Ivy was also a bit curious; in the dead of night, two strange people emerged from a stranded submarine under the cover of darkness—there must be a story behind this.
"Yay! So what are we waiting for?"
Harley was the most excited here; after a while, shopping became boring. How could it be as interesting as fighting and killing?
"...Alright, let's hurry and catch up!"
With that, the three of them followed the trail Katana left.
In the city, Katana moved through the darkness, carrying Killer Frost.
It wasn't that she didn't want to cover her tracks, but first, it was inconvenient in her battle armor, and second, she couldn't do it while carrying Killer Frost.
After some thought, Katana made a decision that would drive Amanda insane.
She removed the N Metal wetsuits from herself and Killer Frost, traveling light, and her movement speed immediately increased significantly.
Meanwhile, Huntress and her two companions, who had been tracking them, arrived at the spot and saw the discarded wetsuits.
"They took these things off."
Poison Ivy stepped forward to examine them. After just a quick look, she immediately determined that it was some kind of N Metal alloy.
She had once heard Dane mention that, besides the Justice League, Checkmate and the Justice Society also had some N Metal, but she heard that the Justice Society had long since declined in talent.
But she couldn't conclude that the other party definitely wasn't from the Justice Society.
"See anything?" Huntress asked.
By this point, the other party's tracks had almost disappeared. Continuing to pursue might lead them astray by false movements.
Poison Ivy nodded: "It contains N Metal, which only a very few organizations in the World possess."
This precious material itself was also classified information; outsiders wouldn't know about it.
Huntress wasn't too clear about it; she only knew that Harley's hammer seemed to be made of this material.
"What organizations are involved?"
"The Justice League, the Justice Society, and Checkmate!"
Honestly, Poison Ivy was very suspicious of Checkmate because it was a secret organization with a record. Who knew if they were on another secret mission?
For Huntress, besides the first one, she wasn't familiar with the latter two organizations.
But she did know about Checkmate. Barbara had mentioned this organization to her, saying it had official backing and was very mysterious.
Like Poison Ivy, Huntress's first suspicion fell on Checkmate.
After all, the first two sounded upright and righteous, while only "Checkmate" sounded like an organization of perverts monitoring all humanity.
This shows how distrust of official power had spread from the public to the superhero community.
This was also why Amanda could only form the X-Squad; good people weren't willing to work with her!
