Chapter 2323 Gotham Music Festival (Sixty-two)

Batman thinks they should split up at this time.

Splitting up is not always a stupid decision, especially when three of the four people have superpowers, and they know almost nothing about the situation in the universe in front of them, and there are a lot of clues to investigate.

The final decision is to group Clark and Batman in one group, and Hal and Atlan in another. In fact, Batman originally planned to group with Hal. Green Lantern's abilities are more varied and flexible, and it is easier to put some of Batman's ideas into practice.

But Clark refused to agree to Batman going with others, which made Batman feel a little helpless. This young Superman in this universe is obviously more opinionated and more capable of independent thinking than the one he knows, but he is more clingy and wants to follow Batman closely.

In the end, Hal and Atlan went to chase the Queen of the Sea of ​​Atlantis together, and it would be best to stop them before they arrived in Gotham. Batman and Clark took advantage of the emptiness of the Atlantis base camp to investigate the abnormality in the ocean.

Atlan pointed out the location of Atlantis to Batman. In fact, it wouldn't take long for Clark to take him around the entire earth a few times, but if the former king of Atlantis was willing to cooperate, Batman didn't mind.

After the two teams set off, Batman and Clark's group quickly found Atlantis, a huge city located deep in the ocean. The city's architecture and cultural features can vaguely see the former glory.

The reason why it is vaguely visible is that Batman and Clark both feel that the city in front of them now is no match for the most glorious and grand civilization on land in Atlan's mouth.

The buildings outside the city have basically collapsed, but due to the protection of mysterious forces, they have not been eroded into powder by sea water. They are just covered with algae, and there are some crustaceans that can live in the deep sea in the cracks.

This place has basically become a paradise for ordinary marine life. There is no trace of any humanoid creatures. Going further in, Batman actually saw something similar to a homeless tent.

This kind of wonder is rare in cities other than some developed cities in the United States. It is really unreasonable that it would appear in Atlantis, which has a vast territory, a brilliant civilization, and a small population.

Going further in, it was even stranger. Instead of the magnificent palaces, glittering magic devices, and strong Atlantis guards, they saw one after another iron walls with huge barrel-shaped devices, weak and scattered wanderers with a little spiritlessness, half-dead giant seaweed, and sea fish mounts.

"My God, their situation is too bad." Clark floated in the air, looking at this huge city and said, "Atlantis should not be like this."

Batman was silent, but he knew in his heart that Atlantis was indeed not like this, at least not the Atlantis in his universe. Although Batman had not really been there, from Arthur's description, although the civilization of Atlantis could not be said to be very developed after sinking to the bottom of the sea, after all, they had few people and could enjoy all the resources in the ocean, so they would definitely not end up like this.

"Can you feel the abnormality of the sea water?" Batman asked.

Clark blinked and said, "The average water pressure here is greater than that of the universe I am in. The sea water flows more slowly, but it is not because there is no ocean current, but it seems to be thicker and it takes more force to push it."

"There is a mysterious force in the ocean." Batman sighed and said, "This force is polluting and will slowly erode everything and the creatures here. We can't stay here for too long, otherwise we may be polluted."

Batman's eyes turned to Atlantis under his feet again, and he continued, "That wall should be some kind of seawater filtration device. They spent a lot of resources to build it, but they can't completely isolate pollution."

"Will this force make them weaker and weaker?"

"Maybe it's getting more and more chaotic." Batman frowned. He could see from the clues of some damaged buildings that more than one fight seemed to have broken out here.

"The entropy here is much higher than our universe, and it must have increased sharply in the recent period of time, until the order that could be maintained collapsed completely, which forced the Atlanteans to go to the land to seek a solution."

"Do they think they are not affected?" Clark showed his disapproval. He said: "The ocean is no longer habitable. They want to go to the land, or even occupy the land. This decision may also be made after they are polluted."

"So we have to stop them." Batman pointed down and said: "Take me down, I have to see how this filtration system works, so that we can figure out what that mysterious power is."

The two soon came to the city of Atlantis. It was already weak, and because of the deployment of troops, the defense was empty, and no one noticed them at all.

While Batman was checking the machine, Clark always followed him, without saying a word, as if he didn't exist. Batman was still surprised that this Superman was so clingy and could reduce his presence so low.

Superman didn't make any comments on these machines and his method of investigating the machines, which made Batman feel a little uncomfortable.

"What do you think?" Batman took the initiative to ask.

"What are you looking at?"

"These filters."

"They're good." Clark shrugged and replied, then he looked at Batman's expression and said, "Do you want me to say anything about this? You're quite unique. All the Batmans I've met don't want me to comment on their investigation process."

"So you don't say anything." Batman originally said this in his heart, but he may have felt a little uncomfortable, so he said it out loud.

When this sentence landed, Batman knew it was not good. This was a prelude to a quarrel.

Batman was thinking about another thing at this time. This situation would never happen in the past. In fact, his tolerance for Superman was unimaginable. An alien whose ability, quality and moral integrity surpassed 99.9% of humans, what higher requirements could Batman have for him?

Besides, things have priorities. No matter how special Clark is in front of him, he is not as special as the current situation of this universe. Batman can rationally judge what is more important.

But he just unconsciously paid attention to Clark's situation, and tried again and again, until a small node showed a slight loss of control.

It was just a sentence, and many people would think so, but Batman would not be so careless. He anticipated the worst case scenario. What if Clark was really angry because of this sentence? What if he left and left him alone here? Even worse, the two of them had a big fight here, not only did nothing, but were expelled when they were discovered.

His actions made things go in a worse direction, which Batman absolutely could not accept.

But now that things have come to this point, Batman can only make up for it in the most efficient way. He said to Clark: "I won't talk next, and you don't ask me any questions."

"The last question, are you okay?" Clark said.

Batman nodded, and Clark really stopped talking. Batman began to bury his head in checking the filter device again.

He found that these devices have a common feature. They do not have the function of chemical filtration. They are completely different systems from the filter devices developed by humans. This further confirms Batman's conjecture that this mysterious power is some kind of magical energy.

Then they need some more definite evidence, so Batman gestured to Clark, indicating that they should go deeper.

Clark said nothing and took him deeper until they came to the most magnificent palace. Batman guessed that this might be the palace of the Queen of the Sea.

The guards here were indeed stronger than those outside, and there were some magical weapons that could be activated, but Clark led Batman all the way without any obstacles, without triggering the alarm or hurting anyone else, and successfully touched the Queen's bedroom.

Batman found the Queen's diary here, and he thought it was a major clue, so he found a place and started reading it.

But as he read it, Batman found that the diary of the Queen of the Sea was boring and basically all recorded the unchanging status quo of Atlantis.

Then Batman denied some of his previous speculations, because the diary showed that Atlantis had never been peaceful, and it was not because of sudden pollution at some time, and then a sudden outbreak of chaos, that caused the Queen of the Sea to go to land.

The diary mentioned that the Atlanteans were always aggressive, brutal and chaotic. Even if they sank to the bottom of the sea, they still fought endlessly. Several Atlantean kings even died in office because of this.

The attitude of the Queen of the Sea in the diary was also quite negative. The several measures she had taken since she took office were not to save the crisis, but to delay it for as long as possible.

What should we do if we can't delay it? Batman didn't find the answer in the diary, but he had guessed it. He immediately turned to Clark and said, "Go find Hal. Something is wrong with them."

When Clark and Batman found Hal, they had already started fighting. Atlan controlled the sea water to form a violent torrent, sweeping towards the Queen of the Sea and the Atlantean army. Hal was also planning to use the green light energy to suppress the Atlanteans who were charging bravely.

"Clark, stop them." Batman shouted.

Clark instantly landed in the center of the battlefield, took a deep breath, and a bright ice crystal burst out of his mouth. Within a few tenths of a second, the ice storm swept everything.

Everything was frozen, and the ice flakes just stopped in front of Batman. Atlan and the Queen of the Sea, who were confronting each other, became little people in the crystal ball, maintaining their previous postures, but except for the slight movement of their eyeballs, they could not move anywhere else.

What surprised Batman was that Green Lantern could not move either, but he was better than others and could wink at Clark with an anxious expression.

Clark flew out of the ice and said, "I learned a trick from Victor. Although I can't turn the ice produced by the ice breath into dense ice that isolates all energy exchanges, the properties are almost the same."

Batman gave him a thumbs up in his heart.
