What bad intentions could Batman have?

Red of All Living Things.

It is the center of life energy and the dimension connected to all animals.

And the Totem Council... Just like the Tree Council of All Green, all the participants are the spokespersons of All Green who have experienced generations [Swamp Monster]. The totems that make up the Totem Council have also been the [King of Life] of all generations.

If Animal Man's daughter Maxine, the girl who is still a little baby now.

If she can fully master the power of her King of Life when she grows up, and devotes her long life to maintaining the peace between Red of All Living Things and other magical natural forces, she will not go to heaven or hell, or other realms of death after she dies of old age, but enter the underworld of Red of All Living Things, reincarnate as a totem spirit of a certain animal image in Red of All Living Things, and then become a member of the Totem Council.

However, in fact, all the totem spirits of the Totem Council are dead creatures, but they choose to merge into Red of All Living Things after death. Therefore, they cannot come and go in the world at will unless they are willing to give up most of their power.

Therefore, they need a living person in reality as the general spokesperson for the Red of All Living Things.

In view of the lesson of the Black of Decay... the members of the Corrupt Parliament were too trusting. They chose a spokesperson who was too strong and too ambitious, Anton Arcane, which led to the other party seizing almost all the power of the Black of Decay and almost slaughtering the Corrupt Parliament.

Therefore, in order to prevent such a situation and to ensure that the contemporary [King of Life] is strong enough, the Totem Parliament of the Red of All Living Things chose to cultivate Animal Man's daughter Maxine from the womb from scratch.

All members of the parliament share the power of the Totem Parliament, and no member of the parliament can make any decision over other members.

For the members of the parliament, the minority obeys the majority. For thousands of years, this has been an unshakable rule.

And there can only be one [King of Life], which is also the decision made by all members of the Totem Parliament.

No member of the Totem Council will go against this decision made by everyone, because it will be a complete betrayal to others. Once someone goes against this decision, his behavior will be no different from Anton Arcane, who used abnormal means to seize the power of the black power of decay.

It should be... like this.

In a dark corner of the Red of All Living Things, in a deep red cave that is as beautiful as blood.

Countless people in black hoods kneel there quietly.

If the other totem spirits of the Totem Council find out all this, they will be furious, because this means that one of them has betrayed all of them. He violated the convention of the entire Totem Council and brought so many humans to the Red of All Living Things, a different dimension independent of the material universe.

But compared to what these hooded people are doing now...

In front of those kneeling hooded people, there is a pool of bright red blood.

Countless dark red blood is surging, with an ominous luster. And in the center of this pool of blood, a naked man just stands there.

His whole body was muscular, except for a helmet with six horns on his head - wait, it's not a helmet, but six horns like a bison growing on his head. The horns' keratin layer connected to his spine and inserted into his back from the back. "I am the Blood Lord. I was once an abandoned person. After I was born, I had the ability to connect with the Red of All Living Things, and the Red of All Living Things connects all of us. This ability leads you to me." He whispered, and the voice sounded. With a strange rhythm, like some terrible whisper. "You all joined my church... You worship me as your master. However, in my life, I always felt that something was missing. The power I had was insignificant. I should have more power, but the Red of All Living Things chose to rely on another person. They chose Buddy Baker and ignored me... "But now he has called me again, I will no longer be forgotten. The whispering voice tells me that I will become the king of the Red of All Living Things, and this position does not belong to Baker. He also told me... it's not too late, as long as I drink his blood, the Red of All Living Things will eventually open up to me. The Blood Society will soon complete his mission, and the real power will soon be in hand. "

"The Disintegrators! You are the pioneers who subvert the flesh, and you go to extremes to establish a connection with the Red of All Living Things, just to taste the power in it! You use scientific methods for surgery, your previous efforts have been in vain, and you have been exiled by society, but you never give up. Today, like me, your piety will be rewarded!"

As the Blood Cult spoke, all the hooded people took off their hoods, and their faces were exposed to the air... Every one of them had traces of sutures and surgery on their faces, and the limbs or flesh of various animals were spliced ​​on their bodies in strange ways, and some members even had animal claws on their arms.

"And our ally, Night Owl! He brought us the blood of Buddy Baker, and brought the key to completely connect each of us to the Red of All Living Things! "

The Blood Cult leader stood in the blood pool. He saluted Night Owl who was leaning against the crimson cave wall with his arms folded not far away. Night Owl did not comment. He raised his hand and signaled him to move faster.

"We stand in the Red of All Living Things, we are completely honest with the Red Mother of All Living Things, face to face. We have never been so close to the essence of the Red of All Living Things as we are at this moment!"

"The flesh and blood of a totem spirit, the blood of a Red Guardian of All Living Things, everyone? Are you ready?"

As the Blood Cult spoke, the hooded people whispered in a low voice. They cut open their bodies and rushed to put their hands into the blood pool. Endless power poured into their bodies. They couldn't help but let out a joyful wail, and their bodies began to become full.

"Shed life, shed flesh and blood!"

But soon, things changed-some people were horrified to find that the blood pool no longer gave them power, but absorbed it in reverse.

He struggled to escape, but was dragged into the blood pool in the next second, followed by more people.

"No, no no no..."

"What's going on? You told us-"

"Help-"

Then soon all the screams became low, and those poor sacrifices were almost all dead in the blink of an eye.

The Blood Cult's muscles became translucent because he sucked all the blood of the believers, like a mosquito full of blood.

He walked out of the blood pool trembling all over and slowly walked to the front of the Night Owl.

"Save me..."

One of the believers was not dead yet. He struggled to crawl out of the cave.

The Blood Cult walked to his side, lifted him up with one hand, and then opened his mouth full of sharp teeth and cut his throat with his teeth.

As the Blood Cult chewed on the table, the victim soon lost his voice.

He threw the other's body on the ground and turned to face the Night Owl.

"You'd better prepare everything you should do." The Night Owl said: "I have arranged everything for Batman. Lord Orm will not make peace with Batman."

He said: "Once Lord Orm starts, you should be ready."

No response.

The Night Owl narrowed his eyes. He was just leaning there, but as he narrowed his eyes, it was like a shadow that suddenly appeared where he was standing.

He looked fearlessly into the blood-red eyes of the Blood Lord, his voice a little hoarse:

"Why, what are you looking at me for? Do you want me to help you recall the miserable state of you like a dead dog during our negotiation?"

"Of course not, Night Owl."

The Blood Lord finally lowered his head: "I will obey your orders."

...

...

...

Strictly speaking, Chen Tao did not want to have a direct confrontation with Orm.

He had to consider the attitude of the Atlanteans. Reality was not a game. It was not that he would capture Lord Orm and beat him up, then pat the shoulders of the Atlanteans and say hello to them, now your new king is Arthur Curry, and he will lead you to work for me!

Then the Atlanteans would say good, so our king is Arthur, and then they would forget Lord Orm, and come to help without complaint from the bottom of their hearts.

The last Batman who killed Aquaman without caring about anything was called the Drowned Ghost. Although she killed Aquaman, that was the meaning. The direct consequence of that incident was that the Atlanteans and the land were destroyed together. The war was won, but there were no living people on the land.

Although Chen Tao would not let things collapse to that extent, if he really came up and persuaded Lord Orm with his fists, he would not have to think about asking the Atlanteans for help.

Therefore, unless there is no other choice, fists will always be Chen Tao's worst choice.

Thinking of this, Chen Tao sighed. If he had no expectations of Lord Orm, he could just punch him directly... But that's just a thought.

Not far away, Arthur was trying his best to persuade his brother.

"...Anti-Monitor...is coming...Atlanteans must unite with the land people to survive, brother!"

"You told me that a demon king from an alien planet is about to destroy the world? You told me that the surface must join forces with Atlantis to survive?"

Lord Orm said: "It's ridiculous. Do you think I will believe this story you spent three minutes making up?"

But even so, Lord Orm still took off his helmet, which was a very good signal. That kind of helmet is a war helmet in the culture of the Atlanteans. Being willing to take it off his forehead means that Orm is going to have a good talk.

Even if Lord Orm is completely an Atlantean trapped in prejudice, just like the Europeans once thought that Indians were cannibals.

He is extremely superstitious, protectionist and radical, and will return 10 times if he provokes them.

But from the perspective of the Atlanteans, he is a king who perfectly conforms to the Atlantean moral code, and he can be treated rationally.

In the face of a crisis that threatens his subjects and even Atlantis, Lord Orm is fully capable of putting aside his personal prejudices. Chen Tao only needs to ensure this.

"I understand, brother."

Lord Orm said: "If what you said is true, I will do what I should do."

"But before that, I still ask the land people to hand over my brother, the murderer who attacked the civilians of Atlantis. You won't stop me on this point, right?"

He turned to look at Batman: "This is a reasonable and fair request."

"Of course." Chen Tao nodded: "We will fully cooperate with you to search for the criminals who hurt the Atlanteans. They are the common enemy of land and sea."

It seems that the situation has been under control, and everyone has begun to put down their preparations for fighting.

Chen Tao has begun to plan to hold a press conference for Atlantis. Wonder Woman Diana is raising manpower for Paradise Island. After the press conference, Lord Orm and Arthur can prepare for the Atlanteans to enter the battery warehouse. With so many people providing shared help, he can use this to pry the Ion Shark and Parallax Monster...

This is essentially a snowball game. The more people participate, the bigger the snowball, and the higher the chance of winning.

As he thought about this, he watched the Atlantis fleet float up from below the sea level under the command of Lord Orm.

Chen Tao pulled down his mask.

Even at this time, he still did not relax his vigilance.

Three pink dots of light began to glow on his forehead. That was the telepathic ability of Bat-Leniak. Chen Tao was reading the memory of an Atlantean soldier.

Long before the Atlantean troops attacked, Chen Tao had read his memory to ensure that there were no signs on the troops and missiles that attacked Atlantis, to prevent the Atlanteans who were attacked from any stressful behavior.

Everything was normal.

He was just checking it again.

"I will let most of the Atlantis army go back first, and only keep my guards with me." Lord Orm said: "We need to have a good talk about the anti-monitor thing, and what you did, brother." He said to Batman: "My brother cannot fully represent Atlantis." "Understand, understand." Chen Tao nodded: "We will discuss a charter internally, but no matter what, the friendly agreement between the land and Atlantis will not change." Chen Tao gestured to the people behind him, and soon, a team of unarmed American soldiers came up with flags of welcome, and Lord Orm's guards also came down from the Atlantis fleet according to the order of their master. Everything went well, but there was an ominous feeling that always lingered in Chen Tao's heart. "Damn it!" Suddenly, an Atlantean pointed at the American soldier who came to greet him and screamed, "Damn it! He is the murderer who attacked the Atlanteans! I saw him slaughter our civilians in a diving suit with my own eyes!" "This is a conspiracy!!!" Chen Tao turned his head and saw the blank look on the American soldier's face, and also saw Lord Orm who changed color. Lightning immediately wrapped around his body. When he used his psychic ability to scan these Atlanteans before, why didn't he see that they remembered the appearance of the enemy? Then when they saw an American soldier, they suddenly remembered? He could guess with his toes that it was Night Owl's doing. "Oh, fuck it." Chen Tao said. He raised his sandbag-sized fist, and the speed bullet synchronized his whole body in an instant. Before Lord Orm could react and start the magic, Chen Tao's red speed force flashed, and then flashed directly above his head, and a punch hit his crown. Om, this matter can't be resolved peacefully. Let's beat the man down first and then talk.
