Hal became excited. In his view, he would be the core of Batman's plan, and this would also be a great opportunity for him to deal a heavy blow to that mastermind.

"What do I need to do?" Hal asked.

"Although you know the truth now, as long as you drink the rest of this wine, those traces can be maintained for a while longer. Nekron has assembled at the bottom of the sea; when you rush over to save the day later, they will definitely want to win you over."

"At that time, I will show them these traces. Even if the news they got from Nekron is that you haven't been polluted, or that they should focus on you, as long as they see these traces, they will think Nekron has other arrangements. And because there is a delay in communication between them, at least for the next wave of combat, they won't focus on you."

"That's it." Schiller nodded with a smile and said.

"But the time this can delay is not much." Hal said very rationally, "At most one or two waves of attacks."

"Completely enough." Schiller and Hal walked toward the door together.

"It seems you already have a clue? Where is the White Light power?"

"You will know soon."

While Hal was recalling, they had already arrived at the bottom of the sea. This was originally a hydrothermal vent at the bottom of the sea, and it should have been spraying hot water near the bottom of the sea, but at this moment, it was shockingly cold here, and the closer to the spring eye, the colder it got.

Hal stopped everyone from moving forward, he turned to look at Clark and said: "Cut this place open."

Clark nodded, he took a deep breath, a laser swept across, and a long crack was cut in the ground. As soon as this opening was opened, a dense aura of corruption drifted out.

Everyone was startled and took a step back. J'onn walked to the front and said: "I'll go down and take a look first, you guys come down after there's no problem."

J'onn flew down, and the others were somewhat worried. Soon J'onn returned, but his face was somewhat pale, and he said: "There are bones everywhere underneath."

"What?!"

"Not just died." J'onn thought for a moment and said, "And it's not just human ones, bones of all kinds of creatures, there are common animal ones, it seems there are also dinosaur ones, it looks like they were deliberately piled here."

"It seems this guy was prepared." Clark narrowed his eyes and said, "J'onn, you go up first, I'll burn this thing."

After J'onn left this sea area, Clark used lasers to cut repeatedly, finally revealing the scene under the hydrothermal vent. It was indeed as J'onn said, there were a large number of biological bones piled here, each bone was wrapped in death power, constantly spraying into the seawater above through the hydrothermal vent, thereby polluting the entire ocean.

Because the death power on these bones was too dense, Clark didn't dare to dispose of them rashly. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Hal, you use Green Lantern energy to get these bones out, I'll take them to the sun to destroy them."

After thinking about it, he still trusted the sun the most. The sun should be able to purify these unclean powers. Hal followed what he said, used Green Lantern energy to transfer these things out, and Clark flew toward the sun with the bones.

When he came back, he was still holding one in his hand. Hal looked at him, and Clark said: "Leave one for Batman to study."

Hal nodded; actually, speaking of it, so far, they hadn't captured real death power, and had only monitored some data. With real power as a research sample, it would be easier to break through the mastermind's weaknesses.

Accompanied by the removal of one source, the seawater became clear at a speed visible to the naked eye. The purification power emitted by the environmental modification device swept across the sea area, the decaying plants grew new buds again, and fish eggs hatched one after another. Thinking about it, after a while, it would be a vibrant sea area again.

The people of the Justice League also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this environmental modification device really worked. But thinking of Batman, Clark's heart tightened again.

"We cannot defend passively, we must take the initiative to attack." Clark sighed long and said, "The Atlantic has a source, then the Pacific should have one too."

"That guy said he was from Coast City." Hal opened his mouth at the right time, "Coast City is a West Coast city, their stronghold should also be there. And the environmental purification device there is closer to Asia and further away from where they are, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with."

"Not easy to deal with, but we have to deal with it." Clark said, "Because of this, the disaster suffered on the West Coast might be more serious. We have to hurry over and take a look."

Hal is not worried about Coast City, but he knows that since this group of people chose to attack the ocean, they shouldn't have divided too much energy on land.

Moreover, they probably didn't expect that the nails Batman drove in early could just purify ocean pollution, and these three nails were very scattered, with one around each of the three major continents of Asia, Europe, and America. Besides the United States, the other two regions also have many capable people. Their small number of people is already exhausting enough to make trouble in the sea all over the world, and wanting to take care of land, I'm afraid they are stretched thin.

Thinking of this, Hal once again marveled at Batman's foresight. He knew that if it weren't for these nails, letting this group of guys directly control the ocean, once a tsunami full of death power was set off, all the coastal cities in the world would suffer.

And that guy wearing a black hood from Coast City would never be soft on his hometown, and might even want to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, definitely turning Coast City into a barren land full of death. By then, Hal didn't dare to think about how he would face the elders and fellow villagers of Coast City.

Thinking of this, Hal also accelerated his speed, and the group of people rushed to the West Coast, wanting to remove the pollution source in the Pacific at the fastest speed.

Batman's side was of course not idle either. He was standing in the equipment room above that nail, constantly changing modes. Although the purification power was still outputting, and the Atlantic was returning to its former style, he was still constantly debugging, as if he still wanted to do something.

It seems the most idle person right now is Schiller. But because the president is not there, he has to act as president. Fortunately, there is no difficult work, just watching and collecting taxes, and then appeasing the public.

But near dusk, the presidential office ushered in an uninvited guest. Schiller heard movement behind him, and when he looked back, he actually saw Damian.

"Shh!" Damian made a gesture to him, then raised his hands, indicating he had no malice.

"Why are you here?" Schiller didn't intend to call anyone either, and had already guessed Damian's intention.

Damian took a deep breath; he seemed somewhat ashamed to speak, but some power prompted him to sit opposite Schiller and said: "I want you to help me."

"Help you with what?"

Damian's face revealed a tangled expression, but it was soon replaced by fear, and he said: "I don't want... I don't want to become that kind of monster. I am not a monster! I am Damian Wayne, I am not a monster!!"

By the end, Damian was already roaring. Schiller went to pour him a glass of water and said: "Calm down."

Damian also realized his loss of composure, but he really had no time to worry about anything else, hammered the table hard, and said: "Did you see Amanda's appearance? My God. If I become like that, I'd rather die!"

Subsequently, his whole body was shaking, and he said: "Batman was right. I am indeed a monster. I will also become like that. I will soon..."

Schiller sighed, reached out and waved in front of his eyes. Seeing Damian slightly regain his senses, he opened his mouth and said: "If I'm not mistaken, Amanda didn't become like that because she was controlled by Nekron; she was willing to use that kind of power."

Damian was stunned, and Schiller said: "You people who have been resurrected, the original role should just be to alienate the members of the Justice League, not to fight Superman head-on. Nekron didn't expect you to have any effect in a strong attack either. Or rather, compared to fierce generals like Steppenwolf and Atlan, you guys can't play any role."

"Do you mean we have already been abandoned?"

"Almost, Amanda just wasn't reconciled to being abandoned, so she pushed the power in her body and turned herself into a monster. You can also control that kind of power, can't you?"

Damian's face changed, and then he said: "Things have reached this point, I don't need to lie to you either. The resurrected me does have super powers, but that kind of power is very weak and can only be used for sneak attacks, and I have never fully activated it."

"Fortunately you didn't." Schiller drank some water and said, "Otherwise you would have become like Amanda long ago."

Then Schiller thought for a moment and said: "Every bit of power that Nekron can infiltrate into the multiverse is precious and won't be wasted on useless people. You pawns who have already been abandoned are destined not to get new power. Even if the battle doesn't go well, the original power will be taken back and transferred to those undead who are better at frontal combat. So, it was wise of you to come find me."

"Do you have a way?"

"Not for now. But at least, if you stay here, you won't be caught by them and have your power drained. This is already the best result."

Damian looked disbelieving and said: "Batman must have a way, right?"

"Then I'm afraid you'll have to wait." Schiller said, "Batman couldn't disrupt the rhythm of his plan for you guys. It's not bad that he can take you guys along."

Damian was not disappointed, but rather excitedly said: "He really has a way, right? Still have to rely on Batman to have the final say."

Schiller was somewhat helpless. Damian coming to them for help was indeed within expectations. After all, they spent so much effort fooling him before, and this was the effect they wanted. But Batman's charm was indeed a bit too great; sure enough, no Robin could resist Batman.

"And Steve." Damian opened his mouth and said, "He doesn't want to do it anymore either. It's just that he didn't come with me, but went to the Amazon."

Schiller thought about the location of the nail in Europe and said: "Just let him stay there."

Although only two people were fooled back, counting Victor's mother controlled by Dr. Stone, and the El couple who couldn't return from Krypton, this was already half the number.

Batman and Schiller had long guessed that it wouldn't be so easy for Nekron to take back the power on these people. Otherwise, it would have been recovered the moment the plan failed completely. I'm afraid they still have to be brought to a certain place or have certain contact.

Then these people being controlled by them is equivalent to the power Nekron invested in them being completely wasted. And the power he can invest is not much, which is enough to make him ache for a while.

Their early layout seems scattered, but actually, it's one link after another. First, use the Martian invasion plan to thwart the alienation plan. Use the name of aliens to drive nails into the Earth as a cover. After the frontal attack begins, raid Oa, kill the little blue men who are holding them back, and after snatching the Seven Lights power back, infuse it into the nails to purify the ocean. Then control a part of the undead, making Nekron stretched thin. With the rise and fall of each other, they had the smooth situation today.
