What bad intentions could Batman have?

South America, the lost temple of Quetzalcoatl.

Located above the entrance to the Lazarus Pool.

There is no one here, only the bloody bodies of several guards who were previously arranged by the ninja master Lei Xiao Aogu, lying here in a mess.

This is the entrance to the underground Lazarus Pool. Batman left Aquaman (Aquaman) Arthur and Aquawoman Meila here, both to guard the main traffic routes in and out of the entrance and to prevent them from appearing in front of General Zod for the time being.

At this time, they should guard at——

Eh? ? ?

Where are the two of them?

The entrance is quiet, with no one except the corpse.

After a while, Meila's voice suddenly rang in the air.

"Arthur... uh... are you sure your new tricks can hide from the Kryptonian x-rays?"

Still no sound.

"Arthur, did you hear me?"

"Meera, seriously, can you stop talking? We are two bricks now."

"Pretending to be two bricks." Meera added: "And in a very awkward posture."

"This is what I have to do to activate my new ability. I don't have the ability to cover such an invisibility range to a large area."

"Well, I don't have the heart to discourage you, Arthur, but you'd better listen: I don't think Batman needs our optical invisibility."

"This is not optical invisibility, it's bionic mimicry, an ability like marine animals, given to me by the Red of All Creatures."

"It's the same under the Kryptonian's x-ray."

"I tried it in front of Superman, and he walked away as if he didn't see me."

"How many times did you try?"

"Once."

"Huff-hum!" Meera made a strange sound from her nose. Then she calmed down and said softly, like coaxing a child: "Is there a possibility that Clark just thought you were joking, so he didn't expose you in order to prevent you from getting hurt." Her guess was refuted by Aquaman Arthur with several "absolutely impossible" and so on.

Mela: "..."

"Okay." She said, "But in fact, if Batman puts us in this position, he needs us to help him stop the escapees or call us for help at any time. So I'll tell you a good reason: such invisibility is not necessary."

Aquaman accepted it. He withdrew his invisibility, and the deformed fish scales appeared from the air one by one, and then turned back to silver-white. The scales that spread out like a translucent invisible cloak gradually shrank, and then returned to the neck of Aquaman, whose head had turned into a fish head again.

Aquaman shook his head, and the deformation spell applied by Zatanna on his neck turned his fish head back into a normal human head.

He said, "Okay, I admit that I just want to try my new ability."

Then the two fell into silence again.

"Arthur." Mela said. Aquaman Arthur was concentrating on the entrance of the temple not far away, and answered absentmindedly: "What's wrong?"

From just now until now, the atmosphere between the two of them seemed to be somewhat relaxed and humorous, but in fact, a deep worry was always lingering in their hearts.

So they finally talked about the most important topic:

"What do you think of Night Owl's...?"

Night Owl once told them that only suicide can make Batman realize his true potential. Although this statement was refuted by Batman himself, for Aquaman and his wife, they often bring up this issue for a while.

"Absurdity." Aquaman said, "I'm not stupid enough to believe this kind of thing."

"Oh." Meila said.

There was a dead silence between them again, and then Mera said: "Clark was basking in the sun on Earth at first, and then he took Kara and Connor (Supergirl and Superboy) directly into the sun."

"Diana is busy training the army of Paradise Island, getting them used to fighting freely while helping Batman share the pressure."

"Ron (Martian Manhunter) is preparing the telepathic projection amplifier... an instrument that he and Luthor helped build to amplify telepathic abilities."

"The Flash is carrying out Batman's secret mission..."

"Hal..." Mera paused: "Hal is anxious because he can't find his mysteriously missing 2,000 Green Lantern Corps members, but he is still helping Arlene Su maintain the basic framework of the cosmic police system and suppress the riot forces , maintaining the most basic Green Lantern Corps order in the sector. ”

Meira said, and then suddenly asked: "We can win, right?"

"I am now the agent of the Red of All Creatures." Arthur said:

"I am closely connected with the part of the Red of All Creatures about marine life. The authority of marine life belongs to me."

He said: "Whether it is me, Diana, or other people in the alliance, our strength is increasing."

He vowed to his wife: "This time we will definitely win, just like we have won countless times before, Batman can always lead us to do this."

"But...but I always feel that Batman is heavier this time than any other time before. He doesn't tell us a lot of things. Indeed, this is Batman's usual practice, but this time I always feel it is unusual. "

Meira said: "This time..."

But before he finished speaking, the couple received the transfer order issued by Batman to them almost at the same time.

The two of them looked at each other.

"Let's sneak over, Seaweed Head." Meila said.

His eyes glowed with a bright blue light, and the magician who could command the flow of water manipulated a small ball of water like a flying and flowing magic carpet to appear in front of the two of them, Sea King Arthur. Want to sit on it first, followed by his wife, and the two flew directly to the Lazarus Pool silently.

Before they got there, they heard someone proclaiming his power, just like countless enemies defeated by the Justice League:

"Death will be the end of everything, and the spokesperson for all the endings and destruction is the Anti-Monitor. Batman, I am not betraying my own universe, but fulfilling my mission to return the whole world to the death it should have."

"Because I am death itself, I am the definition of death, and the Anti-Monitor is often accompanied by death."

"Zod, you make me..."

Aquaman Arthur and his wife hid under the mimicry of fish scales. Arthur quietly asked Mela:

"Can you control the water of the Lazarus Pool to pour on the chattering corpse?"

Meera felt it.

"Yes, I can use magic to drive anything that is liquid."

"Very good, that's exactly what Batman planned."

Aquaman said, "Listen to me next. 3, 2, 1."

As Aquaman counted down, with a puff, the green Lazarus pool water that rushed up into the sky soaked Anton Akan, who was occupying a corpse, and white smoke came out of his body.

"My camouflage invisibility is quite useful."

Arthur whispered to Mela: "The Kryptonians can't find it at all, right?"
