Chapter 2370 Psychic Assault (Twenty-Five)
"That's incredible. How did you convince her?"
Hal chased after Batman and asked, but Batman didn't answer. He just said, "According to the original plan, Clark will hold Atlan back, and the two of us will go to the sea to make some noise, so that the Queen of the Sea will realize that her real enemy is not on land."
Hal didn't ask any further questions. He just nodded and used the green light energy to take Batman to the place where they had met the Atlanteans before. They knew that it was not far from the main city of Atlantis.
Soon the familiar huge city appeared before his eyes again. Hal quickly found the specific location of the palace. There was a huge energy center on the top of the palace, which seemed to be used to provide functions for the entire city.
Batman began to look for traces of energy pipelines near the energy center, and the two followed the pipelines to the core room of the energy center.
"I originally wanted to destroy some of the pipelines used to supply energy to the palace, but now it seems that there is a sophisticated alarm system here. I have to find a way to trigger it."
Hal thought about it and wanted to punch the ceiling, but there might be important pipes there, and the other screens that looked like crystal or glass were too easy to break. In the end, he punched the consoles engraved with mysterious words.
With a bang, fragments flew, sparks came out from the big pit, a sharp cry was heard in the room, the lights flickered, and noise came from outside the door, but it was not strong.
As they expected, most of the palace guards were transferred to the front line. At this time, the city of Atlantis was empty, and the Queen of the Sea should understand this better than them.
Where countless sea dwellers stood, the sea water became more turbulent because of their presence. The strong and brave soldiers of the palace guards guarded the huge coral throne, on which sat a blonde woman, with fine armor like fish scales covering her body, and her strong arms holding the trident representing the will of the ocean.
As she swung her weapons, all the Atlantean warriors roared along with her, but it was not difficult to see that there was a deep worry hidden beneath her resolute look.
Suddenly her expression froze, her fingers suddenly clenched, and she turned to the captain of the palace guard and roared: "The alarm in Hailiu Hall has been triggered, who is there?"
The captain waved his arm, and a picture appeared in front of the Sea Queen, but Hal and Batman had already hidden themselves. All they could see was the deliberate mess and the big hole on the console.
"Damn it." The Sea Queen cursed. She knew that with her guarding here, Batwoman would not be able to sneak into the sea silently. Could there be other enemies besides this almost crazy Batman?
At this moment, a soldier brought the fragments of a crashed drone and a letter hanging on it. The Sea Queen opened the letter and found that it was a letter from Batwoman asking for a postponement of the negotiations.
The Sea Queen was even more confused and suspicious. Could this be a conspiracy by Batwoman and a mysterious enemy to destroy Atlantis?
It seemed that there would be no result if she continued to wait here, so she sighed, waved the weapon in her hand, left a small number of soldiers to stay there, and the rest returned to defend.
On the other side, Clark pretended not to see the gleam in Atlan's eyes. He nodded and said, "Well, we really can't just stay here and do nothing. Since you are familiar with the Atlanteans, let's try to talk to the Queen of the Sea."
"Very good, it seems that this strong man is not immune to mental influence." Atlan then strengthened the effect of mental influence and said further: "No, not us, I'm afraid I have to go alone. I know how xenophobic the Atlanteans are. You and I will only cause unnecessary trouble."
Clark pretended to be a little dull and nodded, but still said: "Then I'll take you there, but I won't go into the sea."
Finding that his conspiracy had succeeded, Atlan suppressed the joy in his heart, and the two of them quickly arrived at the beach. Atlan pretended to be calm and walked into the sea, searching for the Sea Queen's troops.
Logically speaking, they should be in this area, Atlan thought. He knew very well what the Queen of the Sea was worried about. As long as he used his ability of mental influence to stimulate them a little, the Queen of the Sea would not wait until the day of negotiation and would launch an attack immediately.
However, Atlantis, which has declined to its current state, cannot be a match for the people on land. By the time the fight ends, both sides will suffer losses, and they will naturally be able to reap the benefits.
But after wandering here for a long time, Atlan did not find any trace of the army. Although he saw a small group of troops, it was impossible for the Atlanteans to be so weak. The main force must be deeper in the area.
He and Atlan searched the entire sea area but couldn't find any trace of the Sea Queen, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Atlan has complicated feelings towards Atlantis. Not only does he hope that Atlantis will be destroyed, he also believes that Atlantis must be destroyed in his own hands.
Realizing that things had changed, Atlan didn't care about anything else. He chased all the way to the depths of the ocean. However, he didn't know that Clark, who had promised him not to go into the sea, had already led a small force to track his traces and rushed to the main city of Atlantis with him.
Atlantis was searching as it walked, so its speed was naturally not fast. However, the Atlantean warriors who discovered the mysterious tracking traces were eager to report the situation to the Queen of the Sea, and they arrived first.
So Atlan's self-proclaimed secret operation was soon caught by the Sea Queen who sent out a reconnaissance team.
Now all the people of Atlantis are very excited and in a state of stress. The mysterious signs of damage that appeared in the energy center also made the Queen of the Sea even more irritable. Therefore, after discovering the invaders, she did not think too much and directly issued an order to attack.
Amid the surging tide, Atlan soon found himself besieged.
He didn't want to have a head-on conflict with the Atlanteans, but the frenzied Atlantean warriors would not listen to his explanation and would just charge towards him like crazy.
If it were anyone else, they would have chosen to slip away and look for another opportunity, but Atlan was once the emperor of Atlantis and the greatest emperor in history. He could not tolerate such provocation from these hateful thieves in his eyes.
After a roar, golden light burst out from Atlantis' body. Almost instantly, all the surrounding Atlantean warriors were torn into pieces by the raging ocean current.
A great underwater battle broke out.
This soon attracted the attention of the Queen of the Sea. The smell of the blood of Atlantis warriors wafted from the ocean current. The Queen of the Sea stood up, tightly gripping the trident. With the roar of the entire army attacking, countless Atlantis warriors rushed towards the center of the battle.
As the drone fragments fell, the nano camera left on the Sea Queen's arm transmitted everything back to Batwoman's Batcave.
"Now you can tell me what's going on." It sounded like a question, but Batman wasn't asking for advice, that was their deal.
Batwoman turns around and says, "Atlantis is about to be destroyed."
"Although I don't know what's going on, their energy is seriously polluted." Batwoman walked to the console and tapped a few times, and a series of data appeared in front of Batman.
In fact, Batman had also discovered anomalies when he checked the energy center before. Their filtration system was not working at all, and some mysterious energy that had been polluting the sea water was constantly attacking the clean energy, causing the energy efficiency of the entire city to decline, and also driving the people of Atlantis crazy.
"Looks familiar," Batman commented.
This comment was obviously beyond Batwoman's expectations. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Batman. After a moment's hesitation, Batman decided to reveal some information. He said, "Have you ever thought about why Gotham is so bad?"
"Because there are a group of bad criminals here." Batwoman's answer was not unexpected. Batman learned from Gordon that the Batwoman in this world had crossed the bottom line, and she vented all her hatred on the criminals.
"I know, but why are there so many criminals here?"
This is a question that Batwoman can't answer either, just like the chicken and the egg. If it's so bad because of the criminals, then why are there so many criminals here? If there are so many criminals because this place is bad, then why is it so bad here?
"It looks like you know something," she said.
"Of course, but I still don't know enough, so I need your help."
"What do you want to do?"
"Help me find Constantine. He can put me in touch with a doctor who might know the answer. They are both British and in the occult community."
"Occultism?" Batwoman's frown revealed a hint of doubt. She shook her head slightly and looked at Batman and said, "I don't think we are the kind of people who put our hopes on the occult."
"Of course we are not, unless we see hard evidence."
"You saw it?"
"In another universe, it's very...special."
After a few tens of seconds of silence, Batwoman nodded after careful consideration and said, "Anyway, if you can resolve the crisis that may come, then I am willing to help you, but I must go with you. I have the right to know the truth of this universe."
"of course."
As expected, Constantine was caught by two Batmen when she was in a bar in New Zealand, where she had just handled a case of demon invasion and was drunk and unconscious.
In this universe, Constantine is a decadent blonde who still wears her long trench coat, with cigarette butts thrown everywhere.
Batman lifted her up from the chair and punched her, causing Batwoman to frown.
"Tell me how I can find Dr. Nyog Sosip."
"What? Who?"
"Niog Thorship."
"Who the hell is that?"
"If you don't know, go find him first and then tell us," said Batman.
Batwoman frowned slightly. She didn't really have much contact with Constantine. She nudged Batman lightly with her elbow and asked, "You don't seem to like her very much."
"Trust me, this guy is no better than a criminal." Batman threw Constantine back into his seat and said, "If you knew what she did, you would be more violent than me."
"Tell me."
Just as Batman was about to speak, Constantine, who was still drunk, looked dimly at the two figures that split into two and then merged into one before him. He laughed foolishly and rushed towards them. He fell into Batwoman's arms and hugged her and muttered, "Beauties... two, hiccups, beauties..."
boom!
Batwoman pumped her fist, turned to look at Batman and said, "It seems you are right."
