Chapter 2313: Cat Getan Music Festival (61)

This single sentence from the Atlantean warrior contained too much information, but Batman's speed of reading information was also much faster than ordinary people. When he heard something about Batwoman and the Sea Queen, he knew he had come to a strange universe, and the situation in this universe was not good.

The last point had no actual evidence, just Batman's intuition. If one had to find a reason, Batman had never seen or heard of this so-called Sea Queen and Batwoman in the Battleworld, which very likely meant that their state at the time was bad and they couldn't participate in the game.

This universe made Batman feel very dangerous. He also observed the situation of Clark and Hal. Both of them showed obviously uncomfortable states, clearly feeling bound and weakened by some mysterious power.

Batman subconsciously gave Clark a look, meaning to take them down directly.

Suddenly, the water flow surged violently, but the weapons in the hands of the Atlanteans didn't move at all. Clark and Batman rushed out at a speed that was completely invisible, bringing up water currents that could be called water knives. If it weren't for Hal's Green Lantern energy protective light, the tail flow would have been enough to crush Batman into powder.

Between two rounds, these three Atlantean warriors were knocked down. Clark took action to knock out two of them, while Hal immediately used the straps manifested by Green Lantern energy to tie all three of them up.

What's the situation? Batman thought, could it be that Clark understood his signal?

Although he had this doubt, Batman didn't express it, just walked up silently to observe the Atlantean warriors, appearing to be in control.

Until Clark walked to his side, Batman asked as if unintentionally: "Did you see me sending a signal to you just now?"

"Actually, no."

Clark's answer made Batman breathe a sigh of relief.

Immediately after, he heard Clark say: "Although I don't know these few people, judging from his statement, they are going to land to fight landers, so the East Coast will definitely suffer. If they flood Cat Getan, I don't know what a crazy Batman can do. In short, knock them out first."

Batman was stunned. He turned his head to look at Clark, his gaze as if it were the most precise scanner, scanning him from head to toe, not letting go of any detail, as if he had only realized at this moment that the person in front of him was a mysterious alien from an extremely distant planet.

Clark felt somewhat uncomfortable with his gaze. He bypassed Batman, walked to Hal's side, and began to ask the one Atlantean warrior who hadn't fainted what they were trying to do.

Hal's power ring came with a universal translation function, but Atlantis was only an indigenous civilization on Earth after all. The power ring could translate, but it could only perform machine translation based on the foundation of human language, and the translation was completely nonsensical. The communication between the two was completely like a chicken talking to a duck.

At this time, Atlan walked up, looked serious, and communicated with the other party in ancient Atlantean. Soon, the other party seemed to be deceived by Atlan, thinking he was one of their own, and blurted out everything he knew.

Atlan's expression became more and more solemn, and by the end, his face was already pitch black. Hal looked like he was just waiting for the result on the side, but Clark was lost in thought.

"They seem to be saying that the Queen who currently rules this underwater civilization intends to talk to the strongest hero on land, Batwoman."

"How do you know?" Hal asked somewhat suspiciously.

"This kind of language isn't complex," Clark shook his head and said: "You can understand it after listening to it a lot."

"Listening to it a lot? But you only heard them say a few dozen sentences in total."

"This is already quite a lot," Clark shrugged and said: "You don't need to ask too much about the IQ of aliens."

And Batman stood behind the two, listening to their conversation, observing their state, with an expression of 'uncertain, let's look again' all over his face.

This time, Atlan had already walked over. He looked at Clark and Hal, who were still on guard, and said: "No matter what conspiracy you land

"What's going on?" Hal asked with a frown.

"It's complicated." Atlan was not impatient; this monarch clearly had good cultivation, especially after not facing the culprit who stole his power. He continued: "The current Queen of Atlantis, Atlanna II, wanted to go to the land to negotiate with the strongest hero on land, Batwoman."

"Wait, is Atlanna II Arthur's sister? So this universe isn't Arthur inheriting the throne?"

"There is no prince in the Atlantis of this universe." Atlan clearly had just asked this question too. He said there were only two princesses. The eldest princess was born to the previous queen and the captain of the guard; she had since left Atlantis and her whereabouts were unknown. The second princess inherited the throne and is the current Sea Queen.

"Then what about Batwoman?"

"I don't know, this guy can't figure out things on land." Atlan looked at that Atlantean warrior with some disdain and said: "But according to him, Batwoman is the strongest land-dweller, the most powerful hero in the whole world."

"What are they two going to negotiate about?"

"What else could it be?" Atlan snorted coldly and said: "The city where Batwoman is located has been discharging sewage into the ocean, and it is a very mysterious kind of sewage that can cause great harm to the ocean, causing countless Atlanteans to be injured or die."

"For the lives and future of her people, the Sea Queen believes she must go talk to Batwoman, but it looks like she thinks the probability of solving the problem through negotiation is low, so she also made preparations for war."

"These guys met us on the way to the staging area." Atlan pointed to the three people who were tied up and said: "The Queen held a mobilization before leaving. They believe this is a great war to defend their homeland; they can only win, not lose."

"Something's not right." Clark said: "Batman has already become the greatest superhero in this world, how could he not be able to manage the city's sewage discharge? This shouldn't be a very difficult problem to solve."

"To take a step back, the Sea King possesses all the oceans, but Batman only possesses the sea area around Cat Getan. So if Cat Getan is discharging sewage to pollute the surrounding ocean, Batman should be more anxious than the Sea King."

Atlan and Hal both nodded, thinking that what Clark said made sense; this matter sounded suspicious from the start.

Batman was clearly still immersed in shock. He roared in his heart: "A! Superman! Who uses a super-brain!"

Clark seemed to notice Batman's strange state. While Atlan and Hal were having an in-depth discussion about this matter, he floated over, leaned in front of Batman, and looked carefully at his expression.

"You must be wondering how I can do reasoning. I guess Clark in any universe isn't very good at this."

"He can even read minds!" Batman roared in his heart again: "What on earth did Schiller teach the people of this universe?!"

"I can't read minds." Clark said: "It's just that when I participated in games before, there were Batmen who expressed surprise at me, but actually there's nothing strange about this; it's entirely you guys making a fuss over nothing."

"This isn't my fault either. Why am I like this? You have to ask Bruce." Clark's tone was not without complaint. He said: "Whenever I am with Bruce, I have to seize every second to distinguish which of the genius, constructive opinions he puts forward are truly useful suggestions, and which are his crazy, wild fantasies."

"But to distinguish this, you must first know what kind of suggestion is useful. That is equivalent to you having to think of a few good suggestions for the matter yourself. But this is also not safe; you also have to know at the same time what kind of madness the madman wants to unleash, when they will go crazy, and what the precursors to their madness are."

"Only in this way can you avoid them mixing certain insane ideas into their high intelligence, and then making a mess of everything."

Batman just knew that everyone in this universe was abnormal, but all of this must be because the Batman in this universe was abnormal.

Struggling to shake off that awkward feeling in his heart, Batman walked over to study the serious 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 scratching the surface; for a real detective, one still had to look to Batman.

"The strangest part of this matter is that if the seawater pollution hasn't been for just a day or two, and the Atlanteans have endured it for so many years, even to the point where the losses have become unbearable, then what exactly were they enduring before?"

"The Sea King can control the ocean; it's impossible that he waited until the sea area around Cat Getan was polluted to the limit before discovering this matter. So there are only two possibilities."

"Either although the sea area around Cat Getan has been polluted and it has indeed affected the Atlanteans, the situation has never been that severe; the Atlanteans only suffered losses, rather than facing a severe threat to their racial survival."

"But just recently, the level of pollution reached a degree where even if the power of the entire ocean were used to dilute it, it would be completely unable to cope, and the Atlanteans would perish without a fight, so they had to approach the land and solve it in this extreme way."

"Or the Atlanteans have been enduring it because they had to endure it; this so-called Batwoman is an extremely dangerous figure, and even the Sea Queen who rules all the oceans does not have the certainty of victory."

"But recently, Batwoman may have encountered some trouble or become weakened, and the Sea Queen believes this is a good opportunity to subdue her, so she took the initiative to attack."

"But it is more likely that these two possibilities are one thing." Batman judged: "Recently, something major must have happened regarding Batwoman, but considering that this may be the influence of a series of events from earlier, we might as well lengthen the timeline to look at it."

"Is the Sea Queen more willing to let the sea area around Cat Getan remain polluted and slowly seek a solution, or is she more willing to risk her life to duel with Batwoman? Which one are the Atlanteans more willing to choose?"

At this time, Atlan, who understood Atlantis better, spoke up. He said: "Of course the latter. The Atlanteans believe they can represent the ocean; they believe that if the ocean suffers harm, it means they have suffered harm."

"They feel that anyone who attempts to taint the ocean must be eliminated. The continuous pollution of the ocean is more like an intolerable provocation. If nothing goes wrong, even if the Queen has other backup plans, she must consider the wishes of the Atlanteans."

"And this bunch of reckless and stupid descendants of traitors only ever shout 'Long live Atlantis' and then force themselves and their own race into a dead end."
