Chapter 2324 Gotham Music Festival (Fifty-Six)
Chapter 2317 Gotham Music Festival (56)
Batman spends exactly ten minutes deciphering the mystery of the chains wrapped around the iceberg and using his Bat-suit to project a pattern in mid-air.
"Hal, pour your green light energy into the chain, and then run it in the order of this pattern. Be careful to start from here and gather the energy into this node. Don't turn when you go this way. Be sure to pay attention to your strength throughout the process. Input smoothness…”
Batman thought Hal would ask a few more questions, but he didn't say anything. He directly started to operate according to Batman's instructions. While operating, he looked at Batman and said, "You must want to ask why I am like this." Be obedient, but judging from your performance, you are more sick than Bruce in our universe."
"And the most important thing I learned from him and his professors is that when a super-genius lunatic tells you to do something, you'd better do it, because it's both effective and prevents him from doing something. go Ape."
Batman began to think about what the master and apprentice were doing in front of them.
Once they started working together, Batman discovered that the young Justice League member of the universe was a little too communicative and too obedient.
The excuses he had prepared for the members of the Justice League in the past to evade explanations were completely useless. No one here asked him to explain. They all had an attitude of yes, yes, okay, okay, we will do it right away.
It is obvious that someone must have gone crazy, and they have a profound understanding of the fact that genius' fantasies do not need explanation.
Batman was very rare to not delve into the reason, which made Hal a little disappointed. He shrugged and said: "I am ready to tell you their two outrageous stories. Every time, Clark is the first to tell it. It's my turn."
"Now is not the time to tell stories." Batman said in a low tone: "This matter is not that simple. Don't forget, we don't know yet what Schiller's response measures will be."
Hal also fell silent. This is indeed something worth worrying about. To be honest, he is still not very worried about Atlan and Orm, and even Atlantis is not in his eyes. This universe is the most worthwhile. The one who is always worried is the crazy master and apprentice.
"Have they said anything to you before?" Batman used an affirmative sentence again, which roughly means "immediately explain everything they said to you clearly before."
Hal really recalled it carefully, and then he said: "When I told Bruce about the Green Light Headquarters a long time ago, he showed great interest and said that if there was a chance, he would like his children to go there. Take a tour of Green Light Headquarters.”
"Either he's too worried about Green Lantern Headquarters, or he's too worried about his children," Batman commented.
Hal showed an embarrassed look, hearing that Batman was obviously mocking the destructive power of these naughty children in Bruce's family, but he still said: "Just recently he brought it up again and asked me if I could bring it up." The children were arranged to participate in space study tours and let me take them around some of the more famous planets in the universe.”
"Actually, I'm quite happy about it. I did see a lot of interesting planets during my time as a Green Lantern. For example, there was a planet that was full of things that looked like chocolate..."
Under Batman's death gaze, Hal had no choice but to change the subject and said: "I asked him if he wanted to go together. He said that he was going on a long trip recently and it was not convenient to go there. I asked him where he was going. I won’t say it, but I think if it’s going to other planets, it can’t be called a journey.”
"Maybe he wants to go to other universes." Batman said.
"Probably, hasn't he been there once before?" Hal was referring to the time when Bruce, Clark and Diana went to the Marvel Universe together.
Batman didn't think it was that simple, but he didn't express it, just focusing on whether Hal could crack the magical structure of the chain as he asked.
Only about a minute and a half passed before the first chain was opened. If this continued, it would only take ten minutes to open all nine chains.
But at this moment, the communicator in Hal's hand suddenly rang, and Clark's voice came from inside.
"Hey, Hal, how are you doing there? There was an earthquake here just now. I'm not sure if it was a natural phenomenon or something happened."
"Did you see Atlan?" Batman asked.
"Of course not. If there had been, I would have beaten him, but I vaguely heard the screams. I didn't know if it was from him."
"Have you observed any other phenomena?"
"The sea water here seems to have turned a little darker, and it seems to be flowing in one direction. The weakening of my power has also weakened. I thought something must have happened before I called you."
Batman said decisively: "Hal, send me back, something big may be happening outside."
When Batman woke up, the ground was shaking violently. Clark hurriedly supported Batman who was leaning left and right, and said: "Don't worry, if there is any danger, I will take you out as soon as possible. I only need a moment." You can fly from here to the sea in seconds.”
Batman didn't seem to be used to this kind of nanny-like care. He pulled his arm away from Clark and said, "I'm fine. Look what happened over there. The vibration came from over there."
There is actually nothing mysterious at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. It is just an abyss deep enough and with sufficient water pressure. However, there are indeed submarine volcanoes nearby. When they first arrived here, Batman and Hal speculated that, The place where Atlan sleeps may be under the submarine volcano.
Clark flew Batman out of the trench and found that the ground on the seabed in the distance was cracking. What was very unusual was that there was a faint golden light emerging from the seabed that was originally completely devoid of light.
"Is he coming out?" Clark looked a little nervous.
At this time, Hal and Orm woke up together. Batman looked at Hal in surprise. Hal looked at Orm and said: "This guy has a strong willpower. As soon as I opened the three chains, he thought to himself There's a way to get out."
"Listen, no matter who you are." Orm immediately discovered that Batman was the leader among them, so he walked up to Batman, grabbed his arm and said, "You should have been attacked by Atlan. This crazy guy The king has an evil plan and we must stop him."
Before Batman said anything, Clark patted Orm on the back and said, "How do you feel? Man, it must be uncomfortable to have your brain invaded by others. Do you need to rest?"
Orm was obviously a little moved, but he still insisted on saying: "The people of Atlantis are not that kind of weaklings, and the current situation does not allow us to rest."
"Tell us what's going on first," Batman said.
"Atlan possesses extremely powerful power, and could even sink Atlantis at that time with one blow. But don't think that Atlantis at that time was an ordinary classical kingdom. We have always been a magical civilization, otherwise it would be impossible. It is impossible to become a sea dweller after sinking to the bottom of the sea.”
"Atlan is the most powerful king of Atlantis, and he accumulated a lot of power in the process of ruling Atlantis. After the fall of Atlantis, he fell into a deep sleep, but this does not mean that So he lost his power."
"When he invaded my brain and controlled my spirit, I found that he was unimaginably powerful, but he also had weaknesses. About a few decades ago, I am not sure of the specific time because some of his thoughts were too Too vague."
"In short, for the Atlanteans, not long ago, my mother, Atlanna, the Queen of Atlantis, took some effective restrictive measures against him so that he could no longer Frequently harassing the people of Atlantis."
"As far as I know, there is a land man involved in this plan. The specific content is probably that the queen found a way to steal half of Atlan's power and let the land man take it away."
"But the Queen had reservations about this plan at the time. What she didn't tell the land man was that Atlan's control of his power was completely different from that of the land man's magicians, and even different from that of many magical creatures. His Curse is made possible by the ability of power to retain its own properties even after being transformed, reconstructed, and refined several times."
"After Atlan discovers that his power has been stolen, he will definitely use his power to curse this land man. It seems that this is also part of the queen's plan. She may think that this land man is too powerful and needs to be weakened, so That’s why I came up with this plan that kills two birds with one stone.”
"But there is also a loophole, that is, the queen did not expect Atlan to wake up early, and he discovered that his power had been stolen. And because the time was not very long, Atlan quickly figured it out. what is going on."
"This completely angered him and made him furious. He thought that we were the descendants of traitors and wanted to steal more from him, so he launched his own revenge."
"When I was not born, he manipulated my father and kept beating and trying to kill the queen, but unfortunately he failed. After I was born, he tried to manipulate me step by step, and finally found an opportunity to use My body assassinated the Queen of Atlantis."
Orm showed a sad expression and said: "But this is not the end, he has been investigating who the land man who took away half of his power was."
"For a long time, he achieved nothing because his power could not radiate to the mainland. Until one day I got an idea - he was coming."
"The curse Atlan imposed on the land man took effect, which meant that the land man came within the range of the ocean, but it seemed that this curse could not kill him immediately, but could only make him in the ocean. Feeling uncomfortable within range.”
"Atlan has been observing this land man for a long time through the power of the ocean and the curse. He believes that this land man is not simple. If he wants revenge, he must have a careful plan."
"I don't know much about his specific plan. I only know that after discovering the appearance of his revenge target, Atlan built a ship and began to attract land people to board the ship for gambling."
"Wait a minute." Hal interrupted Orm's narration, and he said while recalling: "When did the Atlantis become famous?"
As a reporter, Clark was deeply impressed by this. He said: "Seven or eight years ago, maybe nine years ago, someone first witnessed this ship. It seems that the first rumor was that it was a ghost ship. The boat later turned into a gambling boat founded by a mysterious rich man. "
"But later on, what has always been talked about is that the ship was unable to be caught by U.S. law enforcement forces. This ability to come and go without a trace made it famous."
"Of course they can't catch us." There was no pride in Om's expression, only full of solemnity. He said: "He controlled me to stay on the ship, and I can control the ocean like a queen. This is a magical power that humans cannot understand. No matter how powerful your weapons are, it is useless. If you can't detect us, you naturally can't catch anything."
