Chapter 450 A Guide to Wandering Through the Apocalypse, Batman's Promise
When Chen Tao rushed to the Crimson Souls, Wonder Woman was beating up Blood Lord, who had been humiliated by the entire Justice League for an hour and a half, with the back of her sword.
If he had to briefly describe the other party's current situation, Chen Tao could only say...
He was beaten so badly he was unrecognizable; it was horrific.
"In the name of Queen Hera!"
Wonder Woman was engrossed in the battle and had not yet noticed Batman's arrival.
She wielded her sword and tore the Blood Cult Leader to pieces, but he quickly regenerated.
"We absolutely do not have any sadistic tendencies." Killer Croc walked over and told Chen Tao, "This is the Crimson of All Beings. In this place, this guy's regenerative ability is comparable to that of a Berserker Wolf."
"Yes, I can tell," Chen Tao said.
He walked over to Wonder Woman.
This action caused Diana to stop torturing the Blood Cult Leader and to sheathe her blood-dampened sword back into its sheath.
However, Chen Tao did not notice this detail—some details, unless he judges them as threatening, are difficult to enter his mind, let alone participate in his brain's logical judgment process.
"Have you convinced the Amazonian people of Paradise Island to help me?" Chen Tao asked. "I haven't followed up on this matter for a long time, and now I want to know how it's progressing."
Diana pursed her lips.
"It's done."
"Well, that's good." Chen Tao still had a thoughtful expression on his face. "I've completely taken care of Lord Om's situation."
He briefly explained the situation to Diana: "The spies hidden in the Atlantean fleet, who had been controlled by the Night Owl through the Crimson of All Beings, have now been completely removed. Arthur has inherited the throne of Atlantis, and now the Atlanteans are our allies."
As long as we cooperate sincerely, we can leverage—
Clap!
With a loud bang, Wonder Woman swung her sword, creating a sonic boom, and struck the Blood Cult Leader hard on the forehead with the spine of the blade.
Even without directly attacking with the blade, the powerful blow from the sharp sword felt like a giant hammer hitting the Blood Cult Leader on the head. His head, which had just begun to reform, exploded like a bomb, splattering blood everywhere.
Faced with the splattering blood, Chen Tao didn't even flinch. Oh, Wonder Woman was using slapping rather than slashing to smash the Blood Cult Master's head even more, thus more effectively suppressing his regenerative abilities.
So Chen Tao continued, "Diana, next we need to..."
Wonder Woman gritted her teeth.
She took it for granted and ordered the Flash around:
Barry.
The Flash appeared beside her instantly: "What is it?"
"Help me keep hitting his head with the sword, weaken him for a while, and then we can tie him up."
Without uttering a single word, the Flash smashed the Blood Cult Leader's head into a pancake shape in the next second.
"Hmm... the anti-surveillance agents we're about to face are a much more serious threat than Night Owl..."
"Don't forget you have a speech at the United Nations on the 23rd." Diana had already walked away, heading towards where Killer Croc and Martian Manhunter were standing not far away.
She then waved her hand and said, "If I were you, I would think about what to say in the script beforehand, instead of improvising."
"Oh, right." She suddenly turned her head and said, "We had a great time at the Ocean Festival last time. After this anti-surveillance incident is over, will we go out together again?"
"Yes, we will." Chen Tao nodded, then said, "We're going to Fiji for vacation, and we'll bring Alfred along."
"Yes. It would be best to bring Arthur and Mera as well."
"OK."
Wonder Woman nodded nonchalantly, then her steps immediately became much lighter, like a bird's, and she quickly left.
……
……
……
Justice League lobby.
Chen Tao and Haiwang sat together, while on a screen not far away, Mera's speech at the Snowwave Base was playing at that moment.
"My name is Mera, and from now on I will be the Water Maiden. I will lead the Atlantis delegation. You have already witnessed what happened in Albany (the specific location of the Dead Water massacre). The monster known as the Dead Water has been defeated by King Arthur Curry of Atlantis."
Mera wore the same golden scale coat as Arthur, which accentuated her figure and made her quite eye-catching.
"I hope it conveys the promise of Atlantis..."
"Hey, wipe the drool off your fish lips, you seaweed head."
Chen Tao said, "Your way of looking at it makes you seem a bit perverted."
Arthur: "Glug glug glug glug glug..."
Huh, what's going on? Chen Tao looked closely and found that part of the other party's head had turned into the shape of a fish. He quickly transformed into a bat mage and used irony magic to repair the slightly malfunctioning constant transformation magic on the sea king.
"We will fight for all people, both by sea and on land. May our differences be like water, flowing together and merging."
"Does anyone have a question?" asked Regent Tura, who was standing next to Mera. "Please do."
She called on a reporter, but the reporter immediately asked a somewhat sensitive question:
"Some people say that the monster in the dead water killed people as part of a publicity stunt planned for today."
"Oh—"
Chen Tao and Hai Wang shook their heads almost simultaneously: "Block this reporter immediately. Why did he show up at the opening ceremony of the Atlantis Embassy? Get him out of here right away."
"It seems that some people are really cold-hearted. The investigation into the origin of this creature called Dead Water will be made completely public."
I'd like to add that Atlantis doesn't need to fabricate facts to build its image. How many times has Aquaman fought alongside your heroes to protect the world? I don't know, because I've lost count, you in the back row.
"Today's remarks seem to indicate that Atlantis considers itself an integral part of the human race and the international community."
"Yes, because we are, we are human beings too. Just like you, we have hopes and dreams, we have love in our hearts, we need to breathe, we bleed and we cry, and we talk to fish just like you do, oh, no, that's not right."
Mera's words brought a burst of laughter.
Aquaman Arthur's smile was almost uncontrollable: "See that?"
He said, "She's amazing, she did such a great job."
Arthur was as happy as a child. He paced back and forth in the Justice League lobby, waving his hands at the screen every now and then: "Well done!"
"We also laugh heartily. We are like brothers and sisters. Compared to our differences, we have more in common. We are in the same boat in this world."
"I actually used the word 'boat,' which is practically a famous quote. Okay, okay, don't get too excited. Be careful not to capsize—capsize? Have I switched to stand-up comedy?"
The laughter in the venue was practically non-stop. Even through the screen, you could hear the audience's enthusiastic cheers.
"She's amazing, she's completely different from what we expected—"
"Row 3 over there—"
"Madam, may I ask what you are wearing?"
"This is the royal chainmail of Atlantis, forged by Hesimus in the third century AD." Mera countered, "And what are you wearing?"
The man looked down at his clothes and replied, "A blue hand-woven shirt!"
Look, the Atlanteans are no different from us; they just wear different clothes...
But ultimately, we are all human.
Arthur had sat down again, and he was no longer pacing around so excitedly, but the smile on his face never left.
"Mera did a great job," he heard Batman say sincerely. "She's at least more popular than you."
"Yeah, I knew she could do it," Arthur said.
Even through the screen, Mera's voice could still be heard:
"And what about Aquaman Arthur? What kind of character is he?"
"Aquaman is the King of Atlantis, he is a member of the Justice League, and he will continue to fulfill his long-standing responsibility—to be a hero."
"You're blushing," Aquaman Arthur heard Batman say.
"I didn't, Batman." He was still staring at the screen.
"You're completely radiant. From the inside out. She's practically making you the center of attention."
Arthur smiled too.
"She's always like that."
Amazing! There are so many good-looking people here!
How beautiful humans are!
Ah, what a wonderful world, with such outstanding people!
—Shakespeare, The Tempest
Chen Tao didn't say anything; he just laughed along with Arthur... He liked it this way. When someone sincerely shares their happiness with others, it's always a precious moment.
In the most desperate, complex, and darkest world, such radiant moments are always rare and precious.
Then, when Chen Tao asked about the Atlanteans' preparations, this is how Arthur answered him.
"Atlantis is ready to defend our world, Batman."
"Our world".
……
……
……
"Lex Luthor, do you know what kind of opportunity you're rejecting?"
Luther sat in his laboratory, dressed in green armor, while the voice of Night Owl came from a cell phone not far away.
This is not some cutting-edge technology or 3D projection; it's just an ordinary mobile phone. The simpler the way of communication, the more effective and discreet it is.
"I refuse."
"Wait, I don't understand. Why? Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Night Owl said. "I've already given up on this universe. There's no chance of winning anymore. I'm willing to mercifully save your life, and you're choosing to refuse?"
"Because..." Luther whispered, "this is my world."
……
……
……
"Is it still not working?"
When Chen Tao appeared at the Flash's experiment, Barry Allen, panting heavily, had already finished off the 45 boxes of pizza he brought at breakneck speed.
"It's no use. The road ahead seems to be blocked by something, making time travel almost impossible. I really don't know why."
Seeing Barry's somewhat frantic expression, Chen Tao patted him on the shoulder: "Don't feel pressured, I'm Batman."
"I have many, many backup plans. It would be best if your plan succeeds, but it's okay if it fails."
Don't put too much pressure on yourself.
Chen Tao said, "I will protect our world."

……
……
Gotham City Laboratory.
"Batman, Luthor and I have made a breakthrough in our research," Lucius told Batman, who rushed over. "I no longer need a physical battery compartment."
……
……
……
"The Yellow Lantern city of Lanx has surrendered to the Yellow-Green Alliance. Although Arlins is not militarily strong, she is still able to keep the Green Lanterns in check thanks to the prestige of her brother Abins and the help of the Green Lantern members. In short, she is perfectly capable of fighting; the problem lies in the division of the space sector."
In outer space, HAL and Chen Tao fly side by side:
"But we don't have time for that now. Let's deal with the anti-surveillance agents first, and then I'll handle this issue," Chen Tao told Hal. "We need to make sure the important things are taken care of first."
Hal nodded.
"By the way, Mogo from Green Lantern Planet was taken along with General Zod after his prison break, and he's still on the run."
"We'll deal with this after we've dealt with the anti-surveillance agents," Chen Tao said. "I originally thought we could use him, but the anti-surveillance agents are arriving in a few days, and we don't have time to deal with him now."
Then he asked Hal, "What about the Ion Shark and the Parallax Monster?"
"You can try to force them to possess you at any time."
OK.
Chen Tao said, "I'll spend some time practicing."
……
……
……
United Nations.
Chen Tao was giving a speech on stage: "I hope everyone will not panic and will not believe any rumors that may cause misunderstandings."
"...And this incident will pass as smoothly as Darkseid and Brainiac, everyone, don't worry..."
