Chapter 2316 Gotham Music Festival (Fifty-Five)
Atlan's huge shadow suddenly froze.
A thick dark aura suddenly rose up from the waves under Om's feet, spreading up from the deepest part of the sea. When it was about to spread to Om's feet, Atlan became very panicked.
"What is this? This... no... no..."
The shadow whooshed back into Orm's body, but Orm was still controlled to raise the trident. He howled in pain, lightning flashed behind him, and huge waves rushed towards the shore, causing the crowd on the dock to shout in panic.
But soon another figure blocked the city. Arthur and the sea people of Atlantis, like Orm before, used the waves to form a solid curtain to block all invading sea water.
The waters from both sides gradually converged. Although they both came from the sea, they were clearly separated yet entangled. Not far from the pier, they converged into a tall water tornado. Even the clouds and lightning were drawn into it, forming an extremely violent vortex that reached the sky.
In the waterspout, two strong figures fought together. Arthur's black hair was wet by the water and blown by the wind. He shouted to Orm: "Wake up, Orm, don't let him control you. We are the descendants of Atlantis. The sea has free will and cannot be represented by anyone!"
Blue and gold lines appeared on Om's body at the same time. Countless violent powers poured out from his eyes and mouth and nose. He roared in pain, and countless sea water surrounded his limbs, like both a cage and a weapon.
The thunder and dark clouds in the sky continued to surge and roar, pressing down in pitch black. The falling rain seemed to have a tremendous force. Whether it was the corpse floating on the sea or the crowd fleeing in panic at the dock, they all looked as small as the damp water vapor on the canvas.
The power of nature is fully demonstrated at this moment. When the sea and the sky roar together, the roar of all life is nothing more than the whimpering of a newborn baby.
Arthur had no weapons, but the sea water was his most advantageous means of attack. He waved his arm forward, a torrent shot out, and the trident emitted a faint light. After barely blocking the attack, Orm roared and rushed towards Arthur.
Arthur dodged sideways, his black hair floating in front of his forehead. As the water surged, he saw Om's eyes through the gaps in the dense hair, which were filled with pain and struggle.
Continuing to look inside, a strange black tide was surging in the deepest part of his pupils. Another battle was raging in Om's spiritual world.
Rich green occupied half of the sky. Green Lantern Hal floated above a world full of sea water. The rich green light energy resisted the invasion of endless sea water. In the distance, Death King Atlan, who was emitting golden light all over his body, was mobilizing his strength desperately to break through the blockade of green light energy.
"Wake up, Orm, the person who controls you wants to destroy your home." Batman's voice sounded in the water. He was standing on an isolated island on the water. The figure of the sea lord Orm was frozen in the floating iceberg in front of him. Obviously, that was Orm's original consciousness.
The power of Atlan was wrapped around the iceberg like the strongest chain, trapping Om's consciousness and anesthetizing him at the same time, making him unaware of what was happening.
Batman is trying to pry open the power of Atlan and rescue Orm's consciousness, because he knows that this universe is still early, and Arthur has only recently figured out his own life experience. He is far from understanding and controlling the power of the ocean as Aquaman does, and is not as good as Orm, the lord of the sea.
In order to deal with the Dead King Atlanus, Orm and Arthur must join forces. If Orm cannot wake up quickly, the war in the ocean is likely to affect the land.
At this moment, Batman in the main universe here has some understanding of Atlan's life experience. Atlantis was once the greatest king of Atlantis. At that time, Atlantis was still a glorious kingdom on land with a very developed civilization.
Atlan's younger brother Orin is the most old-fashioned conservative. He believes that the power of Atlantis comes from its pure bloodline, so he firmly opposes intermarriage between Atlanteans and foreigners.
But Atlan himself married a foreign woman and had many children. Olin thought this was a defilement, so he betrayed Atlan and led his men to assassinate him. Atlan was wounded and escaped, so Olin killed Atlan's wife and all his children.
Atlantis returned to Atlantis and saw his wife and children died tragically. In anger, he sank the entire Atlantis with a trident, turning Atlantis from a glorious land civilization into a kingdom in the sea.
Having exhausted his strength, Atlantis has been sleeping in the Mariana Trench, but he has never given up on revenge and has always wanted to accumulate strength to completely destroy Atlantis.
On the cruise ship, when Ion entered, Ion and his keen sense of smell smelled the extraordinary power fluctuations on the ship, so Hal and Clark followed this power all the way to the depths of the Mariana Trench.
They found Atlan's hiding place here, but this once great king was proficient in magic technology. He made his hiding place watertight. Hal and Clark, who had no such experience, could not find a way to get in at all. They walked around the outer maze several times but had no clue.
Clark thought about breaking through with brute force, but the sea water here has a magical power that can greatly weaken the intensity of physical attacks. Although Hal has green light energy, he doesn't know how to effectively impact the shield.
After a long time of no progress, the two men both thought of the same method, which was to go back to find Batman.
The distance from the cruise ship to the trench was nothing to the two of them, and they quickly returned to the ship, but the Batman they found was not the Batman they were familiar with, but the Batman from the main universe.
In fact, it was because Bruce had just started to make music at that time, and Batman was being hunted. Only the Batman of the main universe was studying the energy traces in the power compartment of the ship. Like White Can, he discovered that there was something wrong with the power source of this ship.
Batman was actually quite used to hearing the purpose of Clark and Hal's visit, because he was the brain of their universe's Justice League and was used to people asking him for help anytime and anywhere.
Batman followed Clark and Hal to the depths of the trench, and then he discovered that the energy flow here was exactly the same as the energy traces on the Atlantis's power center engine, which was enough to prove that the Atlantis was a trick played by Atlantis.
At that time, they did not find out why Atlan had gone through so much trouble to lure people aboard a cruise ship, but they also knew that if they could not break the shield of Atlan's hiding place, it would be impossible to restart the cruise ship's power system.
When Batman studied the shield, he found that the structure of the shield was extremely ingenious and could be said to be a new magic system, but there was only one loophole, that is, Atlan had left a hole in it and was transmitting his power to somewhere.
The three of them followed the power transmission channel and found the unconscious Ohm. Then they realized that it was Atlan who was controlling Ohm. Considering that the opponent Ohm was challenging was Schiller, they were afraid that Atlan's ultimate target was Schiller.
Although no one knew what the grudge between the two of them was, the cruise ship was not far from the Gotham coastline. Once Atlanta chose to launch an attack there, the cities on land would inevitably be threatened, which was something that none of the three wanted to see.
Clark and Hal used both physical and energy methods to try to wake Orm up, but all in vain. Atlan's manipulation of Orm was obviously premeditated and not accomplished overnight. His control over his mind was comprehensive and in-depth.
Batman speculated that in this situation they had no way to wake up Orm from the outside, and they had to go deep into his spiritual world, defeat Atlan there, and rescue Orm's spirit body.
Speaking of the spiritual world, Hal naturally knew who to find. He used the communicator constructed with green light energy to contact Constantine and asked for partial authority to the dream world. Clark was limited by bandwidth and stayed to guard the bodies of several people. Hal and Batman entered the spiritual world of Om through the dream world.
When they came here, all their guesses were confirmed. It was likely that Om's spirit had been invaded by Atlan many years ago. Atlan continued to pollute his spiritual space until Om's spirit was completely frozen in the iceberg.
Atlan discovered their invasion and immediately mobilized its forces to launch a fierce attack on the two of them, which prevented them from concentrating on removing the chains that trapped Orm.
So Hal and Batman divided the work, Hal was responsible for resisting Atlan's attack, and Batman was responsible for rescuing Orm.
But in fact this is very difficult. Judging from the current situation, Atlan must have a complete plan. Corrupting and controlling Orm is only one part of it. The Atlantis is also one of them. His preparations are quite complete, and both Hal and Batman are equivalent to being entrusted with tasks in times of crisis.
If they want to break the key part of this plan, that is, the controlled Ohm, they will have to spend some time to figure out how Atlan controls Ohm before they can find a solution.
Batman's speed was already very fast. He discovered almost instantly that the power of Atlan that blocked the iceberg was woven from a special magic structure, which was similar to the magic shield of the Continental engine and the Mariana Trench.
Batman immediately summarized all the information he observed, and then began to decipher it one by one in his mind, but even if this true super brain worked at full capacity, there was still not enough time.
A stream of water hit Batman's feet. Hal shouted in this direction, "This guy seems to be a spirit. He is very good at fighting in the spiritual world. I have little experience in this area. I am afraid I can only hold on for another ten minutes!"
"Then just ten minutes!" Batman shouted. He stood in the storm, like a tall black wall, like the last barrier for mankind facing natural disasters.
He heard Hal say: "If this guy is going after Schiller, Schiller can't be completely unprepared! We have to wait for him!"
Batman was just about to say not to pin his hopes on anyone else when he saw Atlan, who was committing a crime in mid-air, suddenly stiffen. His whole body seemed to be suddenly disturbed by the communication waves, and he flashed a few times before disappearing.
Batman and Hal were both confused, but they quickly looked at each other and Batman said, "Save Orm first, then go back to his hideout and find out what this is all about."
