What bad intentions could Batman have?

"Your vital signs are stable, there is no problem, Arthur."

The fish-headed Aquaman sat in the middle of a pile of instruments and heard what Lucius said. His fish mouth blew out a series of bubbles, which came out of his mouth unconventionally, were blown into the sky by him, and then exploded on the ceiling.

"Arthur asked what happened to his change." Meila translated on the side.

The fish-headed Aquaman stared at his dead fish eyes, shaking up and down in agreement.

"...Can you understand what he said? Well, in short, you can look at the experimental data yourself." Lucius operated on the computer next to him for a while, and soon groups of data appeared on the big screen: "On the left are the current physical data of Aquaman, and on the right are what he showed on the training ground when the Justice League was established. In the past, even on land, Arthur could compete with Superman head-on for a short time, and now his physical fitness is generally showing a trend of substantial increase."

At this time, Chen Tao and Aquaman and his wife were in the Justice League's laboratory in Gotham, with Chen Tao and Lucius accompanying them.

"So frankly, having a fish head may make you ugly, and you have become a stereotype of Atlanteans in the eyes of the public. But in terms of experimental data, you ask me what conclusion I have drawn? My conclusion is that Arthur, you have become stronger than before."

"So can you find out what the reason for this change is?" Meila continued to help Aquaman translate: "Although his appearance has enhanced his strength, you know..."

"Arthur's identity as the crown prince of Atlantis is more important than his combat effectiveness." Chen Tao said from the side: "It is a bridge connecting humans and Atlanteans, think of a way, Lucius."

"So how did he become like this, Bruce, Mr. Arthur's powerful life force reminds me of a power, the red of all living things." Lucius said.

"According to Arthur, he was suddenly controlled by a powerful life force on the battlefield. In order to prevent this force from manipulating him to hurt others and to prevent being controlled by the eclipse, he rushed directly into the trench with his last bit of reason."

"And he was indeed almost out of control in the trench. He slaughtered a large number of trench tribes - Batman knows what that is. These guys had previously landed and attacked ordinary people, and later Arthur and I drove them back to the trench." Meila said: "Then Arthur found that he had recovered from this power, so he came back to find me."

"Arthur's life force is particularly strong. This is an unusually strong one. Do you know, Bruce, his state reminds me of someone."

Lucius said, touching his head, and then tapping on the computer for a while, calling up a person's information.

"Plant Master, Jason Wood."

Meira and Aquaman looked at each other.

"Who is this guy?"

"An enemy I faced before." Chen Tao explained to them: "A low-level spokesperson for the Green of All Things, whose authority is lower than that of the Swamp Thing and Poison Ivy. Poison Ivy and I defeated him, but since killing him would reduce the power of the Green of All Things, Ivy sealed him up temporarily."

"But you still remember that he was able to eat the tubers on the Swamp Thing's body." Lucius said.

He tapped the screen, and then more green branches emerged from the plant master on the screen. If he was originally just a monster composed of vines and trunks, now he is like a walking tree, and even green leaves grow on his nose: "It can absorb the tubers dropped from the body of the swamp monster, the ruler of all things green, to greatly enhance its own strength, but at the cost of this, the power of all things green will alienate his body, making it even less human, which is very similar to the current situation of Aquaman." "An unimaginable life force enhances the physique of Aquaman." "Arthur also has a part of the power of the red of all living things." Chen Tao added "Yes, so it has greatly enhanced its innate ability to talk to fish, so that his appearance has been alienated." Lucius said: "Just like the changes in the appearance of the man-bat." "So is this situation good or bad?" Meila asked: "Will he have to be like this forever?" "If you don't consider the impact of appearance on Arthur's life, I think it's a good thing." Lucius said, "Of course, this is just my opinion."

Arthur, the Sea King, stood up, opened his mouth, and blew out a series of bubbles: "Bobo Bobo! Bobo Wuwu Wuwu Bobo Bobo Bobo!"

"Arthur said he was fine, but even though the Atlanteans followed the primogeniture system," Meila translated, "his current appearance is likely to become evidence for others to attack Arthur for not being able to succeed to the throne of Atlantis."

"His brother, Lord Orm, has returned from his travels." Meila said, "Om The lord is a staunch conservative. Arthur has been promoting the normal establishment of diplomatic relations between Atlanteans and humans, but Orm is against this, and his return also gives all the Atlanteans who oppose this a backbone and leader. Recently, there was another Atlantean attack. We faced the questioning of the Ministry of Defense. Despite the guarantee and help of Martian Manhunter, it still made Arthur very anxious. "

"It made our Justice League very anxious." Chen Tao corrected: "And I will solve this matter. "

"...Thank you."

"You don't have to say that." Chen Tao waved his hand, then touched his chin, and then slowly said: "Your state is indeed a problem."

He sat there, holding his chin with his hand, and fell into a state of contemplation. Both Meila and Arthur held their breath and looked expectant.

After a long while, Chen Tao stood up, and the silver-white particles on his body flashed, revealing the appearance of a bat wizard.

He stretched out his palm to the sea king Arthur: "The humanoid turned back into a skull Arthur!!! (Arthur's head turned back into a human!)"

With a burst of white smoke, the fish head of the sea king turned into a human head with a pop, but this head was like a dyeing plate that had not been dyed in time, with no color, and it looked like a randomly kneaded plasticine. It only lasted for a few seconds, and then disappeared with a pop.

"This is purely due to insufficient magic power." Chen Tao touched his chin.

Although Bruce Wayne of the Dark Multiverse has learned anti-verbal magic, there is a difference between anti-verbal magic and anti-verbal magic. For the Bat Mage, the most powerful thing comes from his ability to do a little bit of magic, just like Constantine, who can face almost any situation, rather than his proficiency in a single magic.

The Bat Mage's anti-verbal magic level is quite comfortable for making two anti-Chen Tao's own magic books, but it seems a bit stretched when it comes to the advanced deformation of the head of the Sea King. What made Chen Tao fail was not only his level of anti-verbal magic, but more importantly, the powerful life force in the body of the Sea King Arthur hindered the operation of magic. Arthur needed a more powerful mage to help him build an advanced deformation in that area of ​​his head without physically affecting his brain.

So Chen Tao used anti-verbal magic to create a magic invitation on the spot.

"This invitation can help you find Zatanna Zatara." Chen Tao said, "She is a master of irony magic and will definitely solve your problem. Martian Manhunter will go with you. Meila, you are also a wizard, so it should be easy to tell who Zatanna is."

"Wow, the style of the painting has quickly turned to magic." Lucius said.

"But be careful." Chen Tao said, "Even though it is Zatanna's advanced transformation, it is very likely that it will not be able to maintain your appearance when you choose to burst out all your strength and fight fiercely. Your powerful life energy will inevitably destroy the magic circuit when it bursts, causing your head to turn back into a fish head."

"We will continue to investigate the circumstances of your current appearance, but you must be mentally prepared... You may be forced to stay like this for a long time in the future."

...

...

...

A few minutes later.

Lucius and Chen Tao watched Arthur and Meila, who were grateful, disappear behind a door not far away.

"Supergirl has woken up." Lucius still kept his eyes on the door, and then said: "Are you going to meet her later? And General Zod, the Green Lantern Planet Mogo is still hovering outside the earth, and Superman's surgery."

"Yes." Chen Tao said: "Crisis surrounds us."

"Although Aquaman has turned into a fish head, it's okay now, everything is moving in a good direction." Lucius comforted:

"As long as your experiment is successful, Superman's combat power will rejoin the Justice League. Aquaman should also be able to convince Atlantis and others "You have established diplomatic relations with humans, and then you have pulled all the Atlanteans over to act as a medium to help you share the pressure through the Speed ​​Force." Lucius said, "I have successfully used part of the power of the Parallax Monster to clamp the ion force from the Ion Shark that you gave me before." "You studied so fast?" "Rather than saying that it is a method I have studied, it is better to say that it is the innate characteristics of the two kinds of light beast power." Lucius explained, "You gave me two puzzle pieces, and I just merged them together." "With these Atlanteans helping you share, your own body The strength will be enough, and then you can force the Ion Shark to possess you through the Dark Father's part of the anti-life equation, which should allow you to exert several times more power than when you were originally possessed by the Ion Shark. Even if it is still impossible to match the complete state of Ion Man you described, it should be far beyond the semi-possession state you mentioned before. Then on this basis, you may be able to control the Parallax Monster, but the specific method still needs to be studied. "

Chen Tao did not respond, and Lucius continued: "There is another thing. Luther and I invented an advanced transmission device before. When Luther was away, I perfected it. This device can allow several people to share huge pressure for one person, and then he will share your pressure, just like a pyramid. "

"Actually, I was thinking..." Chen Tao said: "Can't you create a battery compartment that automatically cuts off the power and ensures life, turning everyone into a battery? I mean those ordinary people. "

"No," Lucius said: "Because after our research, we found that your pressure sharing is not simply physiological sharing. It is more of a psychological sharing. "

Lucius said, "We once did an experiment, trying to give the turtle man anesthesia to let him avoid the great pain caused by sharing power, but we found that if he was anesthetized and made unconscious, he would not be able to share any power, just like a weightlifter who was killed by a dumbbell. It is not just the flesh that helps you share power, but something deeper, not even the power of life. No matter how weak a person is, as long as he resists this kind of help sharing, even if he is stuffed into a battery compartment, he will not be able to help share. In other words, forcing others to help share is useless, and mind control is useless. It must be done voluntarily." Inner help."

"Can't we force Gorilla Grodd and Turtle Man like that?"

"One of them is the representative of Stasis Force, and the other is a creature of Speed ​​Force. They are born with these two powers. Can ordinary people be the same as them? Compared with ordinary people, their strength is too high. Even if they are controlled by mind or forced, they can squeeze out enough [shared amount]. But for ordinary people, their own amount is small, and the amount squeezed out by force is basically the same as nothing. "

"In other words, Gorilla Grodd and Turtle Man are far from being squeezed to the limit. "

"Can we do this I understand, but that's not the point. "

"The point is, there is a big problem with your idea now, that is, there is no way to detect whether there is a life-threatening situation. Because for the person who helps to share the pressure, just checking the vital signs cannot detect whether he has reached the limit, because the vital signs are far from reaching the point of death, but something else that is consumed has reached the limit, leading to the collapse and death of the person who helps to share the pressure.

And there are also differences between ordinary people, like the magician of the Rogue Gang before, he is the only one in the gang without superpowers, but he can persist for hundreds of times longer than ordinary people. Now we have no means to detect to what extent that abstract things are consumed. If ordinary people are allowed, ordinary people will die before they stop, and Atlantis is a small superman, they have the ability to stop themselves. "Lucius said," So the idea of ​​letting ordinary people help, this is not a war that they can participate. " "I know." He seemed to be a bit too hard again, so he hurriedly explained: "I don't want them to force them to participate in the war, but do you know?" He raised his head and looked out of the window. Give us time. "Luci almost doubted that he heard the crying, but when Batman turned his head, he only saw the flames of the opponent's eyes. He must have read it wrong ... Batman never felt sad and never scared. He was never weak and never imitated. Because... he's Batman. Always was, and always will be.
