(Confrontation)

The inside of the shield surrounding me was filled with a serenity and tranquility I had never felt before. I could feel my struggles of trying to stay afloat fade and dissipate. The temperature inside was standardized and my body felt as if it was immersed in a warm fluid.

Within this barrier, I could feel the energy surge through me towards the shields as if reinforcing their already strong barricade. The energy that coursed within made me feel so empowered, perhaps even overpowered.

As I floated there encased within the shimmering mystical shield, Green Lantern's astonishment mirrored my awe.

It was as if he was contemplating something in his mind.

"Hey, You're no much for the Sorcerer Supreme!" I called out to Green Lantern, my voice muffled by the barrier around me.

Wonder Woman pushed herself higher up and lunged towards me with the determination to break the shield surrounding me.

With a mighty force from above, Wonder Woman's determination manifested in a thunderous strike against the shimmering.

Her fists, surrounded by crackling energy, descended upon the barrier like a hammer striking an anvil.

As her fists made contact, the shield rippled with a glow, absorbing the impact and dispersing the energy across its surface. It held firm, barely yielding to Wonder Woman's incredible strength.

The collision created a dazzling display of energy, casting shimmering reflections in the night sky.

Wonder Woman, still determined and her hands still in contact with the shield, she pressed down on the shield with all her might, as she exerted her phenomenal strength to break through.

Her hands pressed down on the shimmering barrier with unyielding force, her muscles straining against the resilient magic that held it in place.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh..." She struggled.

Meanwhile, I was busy trying to create some more magic within the barrier. I could feel mystical energy surging through me, but this time no glows appeared when I waved my hands trying to draw symbols in the air.

I was getting disappointed, wondering whether I had lost my ability to do magic, or if the shield around me was draining all of it.

Wonder Woman was still pouring her incredible might into her efforts. The shield resisted fiercely, its surface rippling with a radiant glow as it absorbed the tremendous impact of her assault.

The shield's stability wavered, but it remained steadfast, barely giving way to Wonder Woman's unparalleled strength.

Green Lantern sprang into action once again. With a burst of emerald light, he soared towards us, his power ring blazing with raw energy.

The emerald trail left in his wake streaked across the night sky, like a comet hurtling towards its target. His approach was swift and decisive.

His emerald power ring flared brilliantly, and in an instant, he formed a colossal, translucent green construct in the shape of a colossal hand.

This emerald hand materialized just above Wonder Woman and the shield, its massive fingers closing around the shimmering barrier. The construct pulsed with energy as he focused his ring's energy and willpower to break the shield and nab the villain within.

With a coordinated effort, Wonder Woman continued to push against the shield with all her formidable strength, while Green Lantern's colossal emerald hand pressed down from above. Their combined force bore down on the magical barrier, creating a powerful and synchronized assault.

The shield reacted to the increased pressure, its surface rippling with radiant energy as it struggled to hold its integrity. The night sky bore witness to this epic confrontation, as the clash of might and magic unfolded amidst the city's dark skyline.

I could feel the mystical energy coursing within the shield grow slightly frail at the mercy of the combined abilities.

I attempted to draw upon the energy within knowing all too well that if they somehow managed to break through such power, I would have to fight back.

I was the one who had started this fight anyway, but why was it taking so long. Someone should have woken me up by now.

Frustration welled up within me as I yearned create some magic. Memories of Doctor Strange in action rapidly flashing in my mind as I tried to create even a spark of the mystical light.

Nothing formed before me.

A surge of disappointment welled up in my chest as the shield started to give in to the mighty force pressing on it. The energy crackling as it caved in.

The well of emotions within be built up even more as my attempts at magic became futile. I knew I could do it, I could feel the energy within me, but I yielded no results.

As the frustration built within me, I felt for a moment as if I was about to explode.

And then...

In a blinding flash of light, the mystical shield shattered, its fragments dispersing into the night like stardust. Wonder Woman, her fists still extended, surged forward, propelled by her own momentum.

The Green Lantern's giant arm was caught in the shockwave of the shield's shattering. It had been abruptly released when the shield disintegrated. The sudden loss of resistance causing it to scatter into countless wisps of emerald light.

Green Lantern himself was hurled through the air, his power ring struggling to maintain stability.

He was momentarily disoriented, his emerald trail dissipating as he was carried by the turbulent currents created by the blast.

The moment of victory was within her grasp. They had finally managed to shatter the shield.

(Oh, wait. Something else was going on.)

The night sky over Gotham City was rent asunder by the blinding explosion of mystical energy.

What Green Lantern and Wonder Woman had initially thought was the shattering of the mystical shield had transformed into something far more apocalyptic.

The very fabric of reality seemed to warp and twist as the explosion engulfed them all. Wonder Woman, who had been closest to the shield, now found herself at the center of this unexpected situation.

Her eyes widened as the radiant energies spiraled and danced around her, defying any attempt at control. She was trapped within a tempest of mystical forces, her powerful physique struggling to maintain equilibrium.

The Green Lantern created an emerald lasso that wrapped around her, its glow adding an eerie contrast to the chaos as he regained control of his power ring.

He transformed the lasso into a bubble as he managed to form a protective bubble construct around himself too, in time, which shielded him from the explosion's force surging towards him.

Inside the protective bubble, he gritted his teeth and focused all his willpower to remain steady amidst the tumultuous energies.

Gotham City, already a dark and troubled place, was now illuminated by the brilliant, fluctuating hues of the magical explosion.

The night sky was painted with vivid colors as the shockwave expanded outward, affecting structures and objects in its path.

People in the vicinity, including the Justice League members who had been dealing with the thieves and searching for the mysterious figure, were forced to take cover or brace themselves against the extraordinary display of power.

The streets were filled with civilians, who now watched in awe and fear as the once ominous figure in the sky had unintentionally become a beacon of chaos and destruction.

For a brief moment, Gotham was bathed in a surreal light, casting long shadows and eerie reflections across its jagged skyline.

The city seemed to groan and shudder under the immense forces at play.

The explosion's shockwave rippled through the city, shattering windows, rattling buildings, and setting off car alarms. Those on the ground could feel the ground quiver beneath them as the shockwave passed.

Within the epicenter of this chaos, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern, each within their protective constructs, remained steadfast.

As the chaos continued to unfold a mysterious figure soared through the skies, moving at incredible speed.

This figure moved with astonishing grace and precision, weaving through the unpredictable currents of magical energy.

Wonder Woman's keen Amazonian instincts picked up on the distinctive energy signature, one she had encountered before.

Green Lantern, likewise, sensed the arrival of this unknown force but couldn't quite identify it amidst the magical maelstrom. He maintained his protective bubble, keeping a wary eye on the swirling energies around him.

The mysterious figure continued their journey, coming closer and closer to the epicenter of the explosion as they gradually slowed down.

Without hesitation, the figure reached out with open arms to the distressed figure at the core of the explosion, their hands and body absorbing the surges of mystical energy. It was as if they were drawing the chaotic magic into themselves.

Knowing all too well the consequences of their actions, the mysterious figure suddenly soared up higher into the skies, all the while holding tightly onto the source of the explosion, the grip loosening.

The impact of this act was almost immediate. The tempestuous energies in the sky began to lose their intensity. The explosion, which had threatened to consume Gotham, started to diminish.

Wonder Woman, still within the bubble construct, felt the force of the mystical storm waning. She watched in awe and curiosity as the figure diminished into the sky.

As the last remnants of the magical explosion dissipated into the night sky, a sense of calm settled over Gotham City.

Everyone watched as the explosion that had threatened to tear Gotham apart miniaturized in the sky and disappeared, their hearts filled with gratitude.

Then, as the magical energy became frail and weakened out, the soaring figure finally gave in and let go of the person it was carrying, weakened by the effect.

It started to descend back to Gotham city at high speed while the Cloak of Levitation held on to my unconscious body, slowly soaring it down.

"Damn it Clark!" Batman muttered to himself as he watched Superman save his beloved city from total destruction.
