What bad intentions could Batman have?

"Hey... I say. Barry?"

"What's wrong?"

The spring outside the window is bright and sunny. Although it rained heavily last night, when the sun rises, it shines with thousands of brilliant lights, which is enough to sweep away the gloom of rain and rain.

Justice League headquarters.

Barry is running himself into a shadow on the cosmic treadmill.

He is a little absent-minded, always thinking about something in a daze, and even when Chen Tao came in and called him twice, he didn't respond.

"What are you thinking about?"

Chen Tao asked him.

"Nothing."

Barry shook his head.

Then he said: "Thinking about the anti-monitor."

At this moment, he is running on the cosmic treadmill at super speed. The machine collects his super speed force and injects it back into his body.

To some extent, this cosmic treadmill is the "legacy" of Reverse Flash Swan. All the technology on it comes from the device installed under Reverse Flash's wheelchair.

"Cheer up." He heard Batman laugh, and then said to him, "Look at you. You look so sad. I told you about the Anti-Monitor because I wanted you to take on something, not to make you look sad." Then Barry's expression eased a little. "So... are you fast enough to travel through time now?" Barry's face immediately turned bitter. "I'm not sure, but I can't. Bruce." The speed force all over his body began to entangle him, and more speed force erupted from his body on a scale visible to the naked eye. Its speed became faster, but there was no effect, so he finally stopped and got off the treadmill. "I know that theoretically, it is possible for the Speed ​​Force to travel through time. Of course, otherwise he... damn it, but as far as the facts are concerned, I don't know what's going on. No matter how hard I speed up, I can't travel through time." He held his forehead in distress: "I'm not fast enough, sorry, Bat." "...It's not your fault." Chen Tao patted his shoulder: "It's okay, this is just an attempt. If it works, it's best. If it doesn't, believe me, it's no big deal. I have many ways to deal with the Anti-Monitor." "At least we have ways to deal with the Anti-Monitor. time for the viewer."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

Barry nodded, then asked, "Will Hal come back to join the battle?"

"Yes." Chen Tao said, "2,000 members of the Green Lantern Corps are missing, and Hal is busy and exhausted. The Yellow Lantern Corps is also quite undisciplined, and Alin Su is in charge of that matter. If I have time, I will definitely start investigating this missing case and provide help to Hal."

He said, "But I can't."

He paused: "I have some ominous premonitions in my heart, Barry, I always feel..."

Then he suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words.

"We have visitors."

"What visitors?"

"...Why don't I ask him to come in and talk to us in person."

With a bang, the window suddenly opened by itself.

Barry saw an owl perched on the curtains and cooed twice.

"This is..." The Flash wanted to say something, but the next second the owl said: "This is a recording... from Night Owl." "Allow me to start this way:" "Good morning, Batman." "Good morning, Night Owl." Barry heard Batman say. He couldn't help but say, "Bruce, you know it's just a recording." Then he saw Batman turn his smiling face: "I know. But since others have greeted, isn't it natural to return the greeting?" He looked at the smiling face, but his eyes were cold. Dong. Dong. Dong. Dong. The ominous premonition in his heart hit his heart like a heavy hammer, making him feel that his soul was trembling. "Listen, Batman, I'm not here to quarrel with you this time." Night Owl's voice seemed to become very high and far away, as if it came from the horizon, and it seemed to be whispering in his ear. The voice of Night Owl came from the owl: "I'm here to inform you, Batman."

"I want to inform you that I'm afraid I can no longer delay the arrival of the Anti-Monitor."

"The Anti-Monitor will come to your world in 15 days." Night Owl said: "Or in other words..."

"There are still 15 days before the end of the world."

You know, Batman, our interests are the same on some levels, so this blessing is sincere:"

"Come on."

"Night Owl, the message is over."

...

...

...

"Welcome everyone, welcome to watch the live broadcast."

"Atlantis has long been a secret place, and the land world has always been afraid of it, which I understand very well."

"Because Atlantis is also afraid of the land world, our ways of dealing with the world and our lifestyles are very different."

"I think it's time to put aside these fears and embrace each other transparently and openly with a new spirit. ”

“With the permission of the United States of America, the official approval of the United Nations, and the cooperation of the citizens of Port Cien, Burma…”

“…Atlantis established its first embassy on land.”

“Batman, should we really do this?”

At this moment…at this moment.

Aquaman Arthur was sitting in the audience seats inside the Xuelang Base, holding a mobile phone in his hand, which was playing the live broadcast of the Xuelang Base.

This shot seemed to be looking down from a helicopter outside the base, allowing people to get a full view of the Xuelang Base at a glance.

Arthur was a little worried: "You've almost set up a target for Orm to hit."

"If I don't do that, Orm won't take the bait."

Chen Tao said: "And don't worry, I'm ready."

He pouted at the audience: "You can't tell."

"Indeed." Arthur said: "I still admire Mudface for this. If you hadn't told me in advance, I would never have been able to tell that all the people here, reporters, audiences, or security guards who maintain order, are actually all pretended by Mudface."

"You know, sometimes I don't care about the process, I prefer to get to the result directly in one step."

Chen Tao said: "I need the reputation of the Atlanteans not to be destroyed, and I need to catch Lord Orm like fishing, and finally let you control the entire Atlantis."

"This is almost impossible to have the best of both worlds, We can only do it step by step. But if you are willing to make some adjustments..."

"I have stolen Orm's magic trident." Arthur said, "Without the trident, he would not be able to raise a huge tsunami that could submerge the city, nor could he carry out the plans that he and I had made for Atlantis to attack the surface - sorry." Arthur said, "When I was young, I was a radical guy. I made a lot of mistakes at the time... not only including killing Black Manta's father, but also those plans that regarded the land as an imaginary enemy."

"It's all in the past." Chen Tao shook his head: "But Orm's thinking is deeply rooted. He firmly believes that the land people are evil, so even without the trident, he will come to you to find out. He thinks the land attacked Atlantis, but this is a complete misunderstanding."

"So." Arthur said, "What's the plan?"

"It's simple." Chen Tao shrugged.

"We convince him."

Then he saw Aquaman Arthur staring at him. "Are you serious?"

"Why not?"

Chen Tao asked him back: "Is Lord Orm an unreasonable guy?"

"He is reasonable, but the reason he speaks is different from the reason on land. He..."

"Then he is reasonable." Chen Tao said: "We can definitely talk. He is your brother, not our enemy."

"I know this sounds weird, but I still have to say it. We need to talk."

"In short." Chen Tao said: "When Lord Orm really comes to you, I will convince him with my mouth and promise not to use fists. The live broadcast will soon be replaced by the recorded broadcast prepared by Mud Face in advance. As long as we don't have the ability to launch a tsunami to attack the land, we can completely solve Lord Orm's affairs internally, and even let the public not know what happened."

Chen Tao knocked his head: "This is really an evil act to fool the public, but in an emergency, you know."

He and Sea King Arthur sat for a while, but not long after, they received a report that Lord Mud Face Orm had appeared as expected.

Chen Tao shrugged: "They are coming. You will be the first one to go up later, try to convince your brother."

...

...

...

Atlantis.

A few hours ago.

"Your Majesty, the fleet is ready and waiting for your order."

A large number of Atlantis warriors stood under Orm. They were armed to the teeth with live ammunition.

"Well, it's time to let the land world know what the consequences of invading us are." Orm said.

His words drew the roars of countless Atlantis warriors below:

"How dare the ungrateful land people threaten someone like you, Orm I - the King of the Seven Seas!"

"This has nothing to do with threatening me, General Roton." Orm slowly put on the crown helmet that covered half of his face, and then said:

"I wear this crown for my people. Without them, I am nothing."

"A missile and countless troops from the land world attacked Atlantis a few days ago. We suffered heavy casualties. We only made one response to this, and responded to them with overwhelming force. As long as Atlantis exists, the land world will hate us. And today... they will learn how powerful we are!"

In order to fight back against the attack on his underwater kingdom, Lord Orm decided to lead a revenge operation against the land world, but he never thought...

"Where is your king?!"

At this moment.

Lord Orm rushed out of the water, his posture was as agile as a fish jumping out of the water.

He looked at the landman standing on the land in front of him, his whole body dry, staring at him blankly.

"I am speaking to you in the right language, right?" He grabbed the human holding the camera in front of him: "Where is the king of your land?"

He added: "I'm talking about the great King Arthur, your ruler, the human."

"I I I I don't know who you are talking about, President?"

Orm found that he couldn't ask anything.

So he pinched the other's neck with one hand: "Haha, these land species are so fragile, they use these small holes to breathe."

He stretched out his hand and blocked the mouth and nose of the poor human in his hand:

"Without these little holes to help them breathe, they will all die."

20 seconds passed.

The landman in front of him didn't seem to have any difficulty breathing.

30 seconds.

40 seconds.

After 60 seconds, Om felt something was wrong.

Why couldn't the landman in front of him suffocate to death? He looked at the Xuelang base built in the distance again and confirmed that he had indeed captured a living human next to the Xuelang base.

Om didn't quite understand.

Then he pressed the other person for another 30 seconds.

"Let him go, Om."

The man didn't faint, but Om knew he saw the person he wanted to see.

He turned his head and saw his brother standing in front of him.

"Your people seem confused, brother." Om said.

"They are not my people. This is not what you think, Om. I am not their king." Arthur said: "You have to..."

"If you don't rule them...then what did you do on land?"

Om asked.

"Where is the Atlantis army?"

"Under the water, waiting for my order." Lord Orm said, "Your people broke the agreement, Arthur."

"Listen, Orm, there is no agreement. The surface world knows nothing about these things. They don't think Atlantis really exists."

"It's unbelievable." Orm said.

"This is all a terrible mistake."

"Mistake?" Orm said, "This is called negligence. This is human nature. I don't want to come here, Arthur. The dirty air and the weight I feel are unpleasant. But human incompetence forces me to do it, for broken families, frightened citizens, and angry soldiers."

"You have to send the Atlanteans home and follow me." Aquaman Arthur raised his Aquaman trident.

"No, I will take revenge on the land people. I will soon sink a city to the bottom of the sea forever, such as the metropolis we are standing on now. It will become a warning legend, or not."

"Who knows, maybe one day these stupid land people will not believe that the metropolis really exists."

"Om..."

Arthur wanted to say something, but a portal opened beside him and Chen Tao walked out first.

"No, you have to surrender, Om." Seeing Chen Tao appear, Arthur was a little anxious.

Sometimes he really wanted to knock his brother's head open and wash the contents inside.

"We are tired of being afraid of the ground, we are tired of living in fear." Lord Orm said: "It's time..." Arthur was still trying: "Listen to me, Orm, there is no king in the ground world..." "Arthur, do you need help?" "Bat, let me handle this. I can persuade him again." Aquaman waved his hands at Chen Tao, and then tried to say something to Orm, but he was interrupted by Orm before he opened his mouth: "I don't quite understand, brother, I originally believed that this counterattack against the ground kingdom would be a satisfactory response to their firing on Atlantis, but I came here and found that you are not their king." Lord Orm said: "Why would you degenerate and become one of them? You are much nobler than them. Mother will be very disappointed in you, and so will I." "You abandoned our world and turned to another world that has done nothing but torture and poison us for centuries. Has breathing the ground air for a long time made you dizzy?" Chen Tao couldn't listen at all. The two people talked nonsense and were not on the same channel at all. This is due to the different growth environments between them. Arthur has always wanted Om to understand his way of thinking, but such behavior is like forcing a 90-year-old grandfather to learn how to use a Fiji cup, which is both unrealistic and ridiculous.

So Chen Tao plans to speak directly using Om's logic.

"Hey, hey, hey, look here, I have something to announce-"

"Your name is Om, right? Come, look at me, look at me."

"I am the king of the land!"
