The Death Knell

Just when Superman was about to fall into the purple sea and turn into a fish-man who could only obey the aliens' orders, Barry rushed out of the Flood's body.

This is the first time he has used the speed force to run in the sea. Fortunately, the enemy is liquid, so it doesn't take much effort to rush out of its body.

He caught Superman before his face touched the ocean.

"Barry, how are you doing?"

It all happened so fast that Batman couldn't see it clearly. He could only ask Barry through Megan's psychic link.

"I caught him, but he was not in good condition."

Barry had one eye closed, and actually, he wasn't doing well either.

He had just touched the sea water, and now he relied on stasis to lock them in his body so that they would not spread.

But as he keeps running, the Speed ​​Force will cause the seawater to start flowing inside his body, and he will turn into a fish before long.

However, he did not tell Batman about this, but first took Superman to a safe place.

Batman knows that if Superman and Barry are not the enemy's opponents, the plan to turn off the faucet will not be implemented.

His plan failed.

As for the Teen Titans, Batman knew that their goal was wrong from the beginning, and when they modified the sonic teleporter, they didn't even find Batman's locator in the structure of the thing.

The Titans arrived in the wrong place at all.

Now, the Justice League loses everything.

But Batman won't tell Barry this: "We have no choice, retreat first, and we will find a way."

Barry didn't answer. He had to concentrate and use the stasis force and the speed force at the same time. It was like putting water and fire together. At this time, a voice echoed in his head, which would not help.

"Science team evacuated, Batman, now all that's left is the Hall of Justice."

Seeing that nothing could be done, Megan urged Batman to leave with her. There was a spare sonic chamber in the command room through which they could leave.

"There seems to be something wrong with the sonic teleportation capsule. Go and check the inside." Batman ordered her without looking back.

After Megan heard this, he hurriedly flew into the sonic chamber. Why did something go wrong at this critical moment? The teleportation of the science team just now was fine, it needs to be repaired quickly.

As soon as she flew in, Batman closed the cabin door remotely.

The sonic teleportation cabin was in good condition and there was nothing wrong with it. He had lied to Megan.

When Megan heard the door being closed behind her, she immediately realized that she had been tricked. If it was a normal place, she could still phase her way out, but the walls of the teleportation cabin were made of an alloy of n metal and promethium metal and could not be penetrated.

So she could only keep banging on the door, not even daring to use too much force for fear of damaging the teleportation cabin.

"Batman, what are you doing? The Hall of Justice is underwater. It's not safe here."

"I know, but the collective needs protection." Batman began to operate the console, his armor glowed coldly, and his tone remained unchanged: "I will teleport you to the Titans. Your mission is to help them survive. This is an order."

"Let me out quickly!" Megan still knocked on the door: "You can't do this!"

"Of course I can." Batman pressed a few buttons, and then Zhenglian's teleporter sent Megan into the spaceship: "Listen, stay on the high ground and survive."

Silence fell in the hall, and under the red emergency lights, Batman was alone in the Hall of Justice.

Above his head was a bunker made of alien rocks and metal, and above that was tens of thousands of tons of seawater.

Over time, the pressure of the water's depths will destroy everything, and Batman will die instantly.

But only here can we see the global situation. The backup technology for boom communication has been online, but only here can we see the global situation.

As long as there is a hero on earth saving people or fighting against enemies, Batman will be with them and answer their questions at any time.

As if nothing had happened, he continued to look at the monitor and began to set up the new communication system.

"League, anyone, can anyone hear me?"

Just noise and distractions.

Batman continued to adjust the parameters of the equipment while constantly trying other methods: "Can Luo, can you let me contact anyone?"

And in the glass jar in his hand, the starfish answered him with his spiritual power.

Except for the brainless and crazy fish-man wandering in the sea water outside the hall, it can't contact any normal person.

Batman was silent for a moment. The silence around him made him feel a little cold. He turned on the recording function of the main computer.

"I am Batman. An alien fleet has invaded the Earth, blocking the Earth's ability to seek help from the outside... The Justice League has obtained a powerful fragment of the Origin Wall, called the Total Complex. It is temporarily safe, but the Hall of Justice has been It won’t be long... Please remember not to touch the sea water, you will turn into an aquatic monster, and don’t believe any words about destruction..."

"Ziz...Batman? Are you there?"

Batman was recording his last words just in case, but his efforts to debug the communication equipment never stopped.

By this time, Barry had regained contact with him.

"Barry, can you fight off that thing?" Batman turned off the recording function and refocused on the task at hand.

If Barry could run faster and create a big enough speed storm, he might be able to fight the giant sea monster.

However, in fact, Barry has no chance at all. Superman is half-dead now, and Barry has no way to run at full strength.

"Where are the others? There must be others nearby who can help, right?"

"Actually... they are right here with me." Barry turned his head and looked behind him. Countless heroes who had turned into fish-men were chasing him and Superman with their own special powers: "They want to turn us into fish. , this is a rather embarrassing question.”

Superman's cape has been modified by Batman and can become stiff after being electrified. Barry happens to have electricity, and now he is letting Superman lie on it and push it like a sled.

Superman is still conscious but has lost his superpowers and one eye is blinded because it was filled with sewage. He adds something through the intercom that Barry did not say.

"Bruce, there is an alien Poseidon who calls himself Zhenhai and has done some tricks to my cells, and Barry's whole body has been exposed to seawater. He is using the Speed ​​Force to prevent the mutation from spreading."

The corner of Barry's mouth twitched. The stasis force is not the speed force. It's okay if Superman doesn't understand this, but why should he tell Batman?

"Bruce, the others, everyone, were turned into aquatic monsters controlled by alien Poseidon."

Superman casually swatted away the chasing Adam Knight. He could not absorb sunlight, but the energy that existed in his body was still there. Although it was not enough to fight against Poseidon and sea monsters, it was still enough to deal with other mutant heroes.

He just slapped his hand, and Adam Strange disappeared into the horizon like a shooting star: "We are surrounded by the vast sea, there is no land, and we can't even see a small patch of green!"

As if they heard his words, a swamp monster suddenly appeared in the sea in front of them. He had been transformed into a half-plant, half-octopus form. Like Zatanna, he was also unknowingly touched by the water. On.

No way, who calls him a 'swamp' monster? If it were a desert monster, it would definitely feel strange when seeing water and put it on alert, right?

He stretched out his green tentacles, grabbed Superman and Barry in his hands, and dragged them toward the water.

"Swamp Monster's tentacles are strengthened by magic, I can't break free... Lightning..."

Barry was pinched in another tentacle, and he couldn't even move forward: "I was caught too! How should I deal with a magical elemental creature that suddenly appeared?!"

"He's a tree, so you can chop him down!"

Just when they were about to fall into the water, Mera suddenly emerged from the sea. She used a sword made of hard water magic to cut off the swamp monster's tentacles. She fled with Superman and Barry.

Protect them with hard water and escape directly from the water so the octopus cannot catch them.

"Mera, great, the Justice League can't support it anymore. Can Atlantis provide reinforcements?" Superman finally relaxed a little. It's great to see a normal person now.

Mera glanced at him coldly: "Didn't Batman tell you? Atlantis sank. My country and my fleet are all gone."

Barry swallowed. Although he didn't know why, he could feel that Mera seemed to have a problem with Batman.

Of course, Mera originally asked Bruce if there was any way to help Atlantis, and Batman told her that all the heroes of the Justice League were busy saving people and could not spare a helping hand.

In Batman's mind, the safety of human society \u003e the safety of the sea people \u003e the safety of superheroes. The earth has a population of 7 billion, and the six sea countries have a maximum of 30 million people. Before all humans are saved, there will indeed be no manpower.

The situation on Paradise Island is different. There are only a little more than 1,000 people on the entire island. Although the Amazon warriors are very strong, this number is not threatening, and a rescue by the way will not waste too much time.

Mera doesn't usually interact with humans very much. She is a standard Atlantean. She thinks Atlantis is great and there is nothing that needs land people.

There are fish and water, that's enough.

However, when a big problem comes and she wants to seek help from the land people, without Arthur, she finds that she is not familiar with anyone...

Now, Superman obviously doesn't know about Atlantis asking for help. Batman actually didn't even ask them.

Mera can only be in a good mood.

However, now that there were pursuers behind her, she was in no mood to talk to Superman and the others. She raised the divine trumpet hanging around her neck. There was a thin chain on it that could be used as a necklace.

It's just that the pendant is a little too big.

After she raised the horn, the horn emitted a strong blue light. As she mobilized the energy, the horn pointed a direction for them.

"What is that?" asked Superman, who knew nothing about magic.

"You must come with me, this is our only way to survive." Mera did not explain, but asked Superman and Barry to follow them honestly.

Barry spit out a bunch of bubbles, another queen, and it was obviously much harder to talk than Diana. It was really terrible.

............................

Megan, who had just witnessed Zhenhai beating Superman, was teleported to the alien ship when she saw that Zhenhai had also been teleported here and was chasing the Titan team.

This is not good news.

There is often a consensus among heroes that even Superman cannot defeat enemies head-on, so it is best to avoid them temporarily when others encounter them.

Unless you are wearing a full black uniform with a pair of pointy ears on your head, and you happen to have a plan, or you have a prop in your belt that just happens to restrain the opponent...
