Chapter 2322 Gotham Music Festival (Sixty-one)
This Atlantean contained a huge amount of information in just one sentence, but Batman reads information much faster than ordinary people. When he heard about Batwoman and the Queen of the Sea, he knew that he had come to an unfamiliar universe, and the situation in this universe was not good.
The last point has no actual evidence, it's just Batman's intuition. If you have to find a reason, Batman has never seen or heard of the so-called Sea Queen and Batwoman in the fighting world, which most likely means that they were not in good condition at the time and could not participate in the game.
This universe feels very dangerous to Batman. He also observes the situation of Clark and Hal. Both of them show obvious discomfort, and it is obvious that some mysterious force makes them feel restrained and weak.
Batman subconsciously winked at Clark, meaning to take him down right away.
Suddenly, the water swept up violently, but the weapons in the hands of the Atlanteans did not move. Clark and Batman rushed out at a completely invisible speed. The water flow they brought up was enough to be called a water knife. If it were not for Hal's green light energy protection light, the tail flow would be able to smash Batman to pieces.
Within two encounters, the three Atlantean warriors were knocked down. Clark knocked two of them unconscious, and Hal immediately tied up all three of them with straps made of green light energy.
What's going on? Batman wondered, could it be that Clark understood his look?
Although he had this doubt, Batman did not show it. He walked forward silently and observed the Atlantean warrior, appearing to be confident.
It wasn't until Clark walked up to him that Batman pretended to ask casually: "Did you see me signaling you just now?"
"In fact, no."
Batman was relieved by Clark's answer.
Then he heard Clark say, "Although I don't know these people, but from what he said, they are going to go to land to fight with the land people, and the East Coast will definitely suffer. If they flood Gotham, there's no telling what the crazy Batman will do. Anyway, knock them out first."
Batman was stunned. He turned to look at Clark, his eyes like the most sophisticated scanner, scanning him from head to toe, not missing any details, as if he realized at this moment that the person in front of him was a mysterious alien from a very distant and strange planet.
Clark felt a little uncomfortable with his gaze. He walked around Batman, walked to Hal, and began to ask the Atlantean who had not fainted what they were going to do.
Hal's lantern ring has a built-in universal translation function, but Atlantis is just an indigenous civilization on Earth after all. The lantern ring can translate, but it can only be machine translated based on human language. The translation is irrelevant, and the communication between the two is completely incomprehensible.
At this time Atlan stepped forward and communicated with the other party in the ancient Atlantean language with a serious face. Soon the other party seemed to be deceived by Atlan and thought he was one of their own, so he told them everything he knew.
Atlan's expression became more and more solemn, and in the end it was completely dark. Hal seemed to be just waiting for the result, but Clark seemed to be thinking about something.
"They seem to be saying that the queen who now rules this underwater civilization intends to go to war with the strongest hero on land."
"How do you know?" Hal asked doubtfully.
"This language isn't complicated." Clark shook his head and said, "You'll understand it after listening to it more often."
"Have you heard too much? But you only heard them say a few dozen words in total."
"That's a lot." Clark shrugged and said, "You don't need to ask too much about the intelligence of aliens."
Batman stood behind the two of them, listening to their conversation and observing their conditions, his face full of uncertainty.
At this time, Atlan had come over. He looked at Clark and Hal who were still on guard and said, "Whatever conspiracy you land people have, and whatever method you used to get me here, I suggest we go back quickly. We can't stay here any longer."
"What's going on?" Hal asked, frowning.
"It's complicated." Atlan was not impatient. This king was obviously well-mannered, especially after not facing the culprit who stole his power. He continued, "The current queen of Atlantis, Atlanna II, wants to negotiate with Batwoman, the strongest hero on land."
"Wait, Atlanna II is Arthur's sister? So Arthur didn't inherit the throne in this universe?"
"The Atlantis in this universe has no princes. Apparently Atlan just asked this question. He said there are only two princesses. The eldest princess was born to the previous queen and the captain of the guard. She has left Atlantis and is now missing. The second princess inherited the throne and is the current queen of the sea."
"So what's up with Batwoman?"
"I don't know. This guy doesn't understand what's going on on land." Atlan looked at the Atlantean warrior with some disdain and said, "But according to him, Batwoman is the strongest land person and the most powerful hero in the world."
"What do the two of them want to talk about?"
"What else could it be?" Atlan snorted coldly and said, "The city where Batwoman is located has been discharging sewage into the ocean. It is a very mysterious sewage that can cause great harm to the ocean. This has caused countless Atlanteans to be injured or killed."
"For the sake of her people's lives and future, the Sea Queen believes that she must talk to Batwoman, but it seems that she thinks the chances of resolving the issue through negotiations are slim, so she has also made preparations for war."
"These guys met us on the way to the garrison." Atlan pointed at the three people who were tied up and said, "The queen mobilized them before leaving. They believed that this was a great war for them to defend their homeland, and they could only win and not lose."
"That's not right." Clark said, "Batman has become the greatest superhero in the world, how could he not be able to control the city's sewage discharge? This shouldn't be a difficult problem to solve."
"Let's take a step back and say that Aquaman owns all the oceans, but Batman only owns the seas around Gotham. So if Gotham discharges sewage and pollutes the surrounding oceans, Batman should be more anxious than Aquaman."
Atlan and Hal both nodded, thinking that what Clark said made sense and that this matter sounded fishy.
Batman was obviously still in shock. He roared in his mind, "One! Someone who can use his super brain! Superman!"
Clark seemed to notice something strange about Batman, and when Atlan and Hal were discussing the matter in depth, he floated over, got in front of Batman, and looked at his expression carefully.
"You must be wondering how I can do reasoning. I guess Clark in any universe is not very good at it."
"He can also read minds!" Batman roared in his mind again: "What did Schiller teach him about the people in this universe?!"
"I can't read minds." Clark said, "It's just that Batman expressed surprise to me when I participated in the game before, but there's nothing strange about it. It's just that you are surprised by it."
"It's not my fault. You should ask Bruce why I am like this." Clark complained. He said, "Whenever I am with Bruce, I have to seize every minute to identify which of his genius and constructive suggestions are truly useful and which are his crazy fantasies."
"But to identify this, you must first know what suggestions are useful. That is equivalent to you having to come up with a few good suggestions for this matter yourself, but this is not safe either. You must also know what kind of madness the madman will go crazy, when he will go crazy, and what the signs are before he goes crazy."
"That's to prevent them from mixing some crazy ideas with their superior intelligence and making a mess of everything."
Batman knows that everyone in this universe is abnormal, but all this must be because the Batman in this universe is abnormal.
Trying hard to shake off the awkward feeling in his heart, Batman walked over to discuss business with the other two. As soon as he opened his mouth, Atlan and Hal both understood that Clark's seemingly reasonable reasoning was just a superficial one, and the real detective still had to look to Batman.
"The strangest thing about this incident is that if the seawater has been polluted for more than one or two days, and the people of Atlantis have endured it for so many years, and the losses have even reached the point where they can no longer tolerate it, then what on earth were they enduring before?"
"Aquaman can control the ocean. It is impossible for him to wait until the waters around Gotham are polluted to the extreme before discovering this. So there are only two possibilities."
"Even though the seas around Gotham have been polluted and have indeed affected the Atlanteans, the situation has never been that serious. The Atlanteans have only suffered losses, rather than facing a serious threat to their survival."
"But recently, the pollution level has reached a point where even if the power of the entire ocean were to dilute it, it would be completely inadequate to deal with. The Atlanteans would have to perish without a fight, so they had to approach the land and resolve it in this extreme way."
"Either the people of Atlantis have been enduring it because they have no choice. This so-called Batwoman is an extremely dangerous person. Even the Sea Queen who rules all the oceans is not sure of victory."
"But recently, Batwoman may have run into some trouble or become weak, and the Queen of the Sea thought this was a good opportunity to subdue her, so she took the initiative to attack."
"But it's more likely that these two possibilities are the same thing." Batman judged: "Recently, something big must have happened to Batwoman, but considering that this may be the impact of a series of events earlier, we might as well extend the timeline."
"Would the Queen of the Sea prefer to let the waters around Gotham remain polluted and slowly seek a solution, or would she rather risk her life and duel with Batwoman? Which option would the people of Atlantis prefer?"
At this time, Atlan, who knew Atlantis better, spoke up and said, "Of course it is the latter. The Atlanteans believed that they could represent the sea. They believed that if the sea was harmed, they were harmed."
"They feel that anyone who dares to touch the sea must be eliminated. Continuous pollution of the ocean is more like an intolerable provocation. If nothing unexpected happens, even if the queen has other backup plans, she must consider the wishes of the Atlanteans."
"And these reckless and stupid descendants of traitors only ever shout "Long live Atlantis" and then drive themselves and their tribe into a dead end."
