Chapter 458 Thunder Zanza! Night Owl and Batman's Shared Weapon
Earth, somewhere.
Inside the base of the crime syndicate.
The Super Queen was several months pregnant, and standing in front of her were Johnny Quick and Atom Girl, a couple, as well as Martian Manhunter's alternate-world counterpart, Martian Manhunter.
They didn't know when they had betrayed Superpower's leadership and instead pledged allegiance to Super Queen.
Following behind them were the fighting forces under the command of each member of the criminal syndicate.
(Note: This was mentioned in Chapter 356.)
For example, the Black Siren is the counterpart of the Black Canary, a skilled fighter with sonic superpowers.
Red Arrow, the counterpart of Green Arrow.
There are also the counterparts of female foxes, and the counterpart of Wonder Woman...
It is worth noting that even the Sea King is among them.
He was chosen by the Night Owl and tricked into being the first to arrive in another world to expand its territory. However, he was severely injured by the still imperfect teleportation technology on his way there. He was kept in a petri dish receiving treatment along with the other members who were too weak to be fully recovered and were transported through the teleportation channel. He was completely unaware of what was happening.
At this moment, Sea King grinned widely and said, "What did you say? Superpower has completely gone mad, and now you're in charge?"
"What? Superman is completely under Batman's control? What do we do then? Where's Owl? What? Owl has been missing for a long time?"
"What? Now? The Crime Syndicate is under your control? By what right? Are you crazy? Superpower will kill us all. Superpower will never agree to this..."
But before Hai Ba Wang could finish speaking, he saw the members of the Crime Syndicate who had already submitted to Super Queen suddenly surround him with ill intent, making Hai Ba Wang's scalp tingle. Not to mention so many members of the Crime Syndicate, Johnny and his wife and Super Queen alone would be enough to turn him into dust.
Although the seven leaders of the Crime Syndicate all have their own armies, Sea King's army suffered the most heavy losses in the Anti-Monitor invasion. Apart from Sea Warrior's counterpart, Sea King had almost no decent subordinates. Water Warrior Tura's counterpart had already died in the previous battle with the Anti-Monitor.
These subordinates of the other bigwigs in the criminal syndicate, who had been kept in a petri dish, were clearly released by the Super Queen earlier than Sea King, and had long been completely subdued by her.
Therefore, circumstances forced him to submit. Although Sea King was not entirely convinced that Superman, whom he held in high esteem, had completely lost control of the Crime Syndicate, he still obediently agreed to obey Super Queen's orders.
Superpower is Superpower, but it's not wise to get beaten up by Super Queen for a Superpower that isn't even here.
Seeing that the Sea King, who was extremely loyal to Superpower, had finally submitted, Super Queen nodded in satisfaction. She touched her bulging belly and then said:
"In that case, let's go." She then led the group through the vast syndicate base, making many twists and turns.
The combat members under these giants had just arrived in the new universe when they were severely injured after passing through the portal due to their weak strength. They then spent the rest of their time healing in petri dishes, completely unaware of the outside world or the internal road structure of the base built by the Crime Syndicate in this new world.
The Martian visitor, who should have known the route, remained silent, thus everyone was led by the nose by the Super Queen.
"Queen, where are we going?" Black Siren, the counterpart of Black Canary, asked from the crowd behind.
"You'll see when you get there," the Super Queen said. "I guarantee this will be an experience unlike anything you've ever had before, and your power will experience an epic increase."
So the Black Sea Siren fell silent.
After a considerable journey, Super Queen finally used her authority to open several doors. Then, she took out Super Power's access card from her pocket and opened the last door.
Originally, Super Queen should have worried that as the fetus grew, Superman would eventually use his X-ray vision to discover that the fetus was not his son.
She even made preparations for this: if she turned against Superpower, who had previously colluded with Night Owl, Night Owl would be responsible for holding off Batman's reinforcements, while she would rely on Johnny Quick and Atom's backstabbing to forcibly rescue Thunder Zamsa from Superpower's clutches.
But to everyone's surprise, before this preemptive strike plan was even ready, Superman was driven mad by Batman.
Superpower was already addicted to kryptonite. After coming to this world, and with Batman giving him a huge amount of artificial kryptonite with super-high levels of additives, Superpower completely let himself go. Before Queen Superpower could even make any plans, Superpower had already crammed himself into brain damage from kryptonite.
Now I don't have to worry at all. Now all I want to do every day is to collect kryptonite, and I don't care at all about my hair getting greener and greener every day.
"Where am I, Supergirl?"
The Black Sea Siren began to sense that something was wrong, and then, in the next second, the Sea Overlord, who was a little slow to react, also changed his expression drastically.
Then, in the blink of an eye, the Martian Guest, expressionless, stabbed at the Sea King from behind with a claw. Even though the Sea King reacted quickly and shifted his body several centimeters to the side, the Martian Guest's palm still pierced his body.
"Aaaaaah!!!!!" Sea King screamed in agony. He swung his Sea King Trident and thrust it behind him, then leaped back, trying to escape the attack range. But he quickly met the Martian's red eyes and froze on the spot.
"Well done, Martian," Super Queen said to Martian.
The Martian nodded: "This is me..."
"...It's what I should do," Night Owl said.
In the vast expanse of space, inside the Owl spaceship, Night Owl sat in front of a computer screen, which displayed the viewpoint of the Martian visitor.
At some point, Night Owl had completely taken control of Martian, and could even use him to observe the movements of Super Queen.
No wonder he wasn't worried about Supergirl's condition at all after they parted ways! No wonder he actually dared to face Superman head-on with his bare hands at the beginning!
Nightwing, sitting next to him, gasped. "How did you do that?" he asked. "Martians are true telepaths."
Seeing that Night Owl remained silent, Nightwing continued, "A powerful telepathic user, now turned into your puppet?"
Night Owl thoroughly enjoyed the process of Nightwing questioning him; this enjoyment stemmed from the same underlying logic as a wealthy tycoon's pleasure in being looked at with adoration by his mistress.
But even though he was being questioned about something he loved, Night Owl still wasn't foolish enough to tell the other person his plans directly.
He just kept shaking his head and said, "Focus on the screen."
Even without seeing Nightwing's expression, Night Owl could almost guess the disappointment on his face. So he paused, then continued, "Batman has been involved with the Crime Syndicate a lot... You think I don't know? Superpower, Deathstorm, Johnny Quick..."
"But you don't think Batman was the first to think of taking action against them, do you?"
"I had been thinking about leaving preventative measures on my teammates for many years."
"For the sake of today."
on the screen.
"What...what do you mean!" The Black Siren took a step back, and her husband, Red Arrow, drew his bow and arrow from behind and aimed it at the Super Queen: "Don't move."
Black Siren's face darkened, and she ripped off her sunglasses: "Looks like the head of the crime syndicate is going to change today."
Although she said that, she secretly gestured to her husband, Hongjian, behind his back, meaning:
"Get ready to run away, Oliver."
The people around them, not understanding what was going on, actually took two steps closer to the Queen of the Sea when they heard Black Siren's words. Black Siren and Red Arrow took the opportunity to slowly retreat.
Unlike the young members of the crime syndicate who were moving forward, those who had been in the crime syndicate for a little longer were already starting to back away. They had already guessed what kind of monster they might be facing, and were cursing the Super Queen in their hearts over and over again.
Immediately afterward, Black Siren and Red Arrow saw the iron gate behind Super Queen open. They yelled something like "Charge!" to lure the unsuspecting combatants to their deaths, then turned and ran without hesitation, cursing as they went.
"Damn it, Louise, you bitch—"
They ran very fast and quickly left everyone behind, but the screams around them were incessant, the kind of chilling, desperate howls of dying beasts that made them both too afraid to look back.
As they ran, they closed one iron gate after another; their plan was to steal a spaceship and then...
breathe--
With a thud, the Black Sea Monster knelt on the ground.
Red Arrow saw his wife fall to the ground, so he immediately turned around and saw Thunder Zansha standing in front of his wife with a blank expression.
He quickly fired a series of arrows at the opponent, the arrowheads loaded with strong electricity and explosive gunpowder, which should be able to temporarily slow them down...
Red Arrow is dead.
"This guy doesn't have any superpowers at all?" Thunder Zamza muttered to himself for a moment. "The Crime Syndicate would even hire trash like this?"
"Honey, his wife has superpowers. They were recruited as a couple." The Super Queen's voice came from nearby, plunging the Black Siren into utter despair.
"No, no, please, I don't want to die, please spare me..."
She trembled as she raised her head and saw the demon with a full head of red hair, eyes flashing with blue light, and a lightning symbol on his chest shining brightly.
He was holding the half-crushed head of Sea King and the half-head of Martian with his spine in one hand, and the unseeing corpse of Johnny Quick in the other.
I didn't see Atomic Girl; she's too small, and she'd probably have been crushed into mincemeat by the very beginning of the battle.
Johnny Quick believed until his death that he was one of the people who conspired with Supergirl. He thought that the bigwigs of the crime syndicate were working together to sell these criminal Tiga fighters to Thunder Zamza Alexander Luthor to their deaths. But he never thought about why Superman never intended to release Thunder Zamza.
Because of a very simple reason:
Thunder Zamza steals the power of his victims by killing them, and for him, super-powerful superhumans like Johnny Quick and Atom are excellent supplements. He is a monster who is impossible to coexist peacefully with other superhumans unless the other superhuman is a woman who can help him have children.
"One with superpowers..." Thunder Zanza's eyes were fixed on the black sea monster in front of her, and then the next second her head was tilted 90 degrees.
Thunder Zansha raised his head, feeling the continuous flow of power.
"That's right... this is the supplement I need, a real superhuman, not an ordinary person in a costume."
"Oh, my dear, father of my unborn child, you have finally appeared."
The Super Queen emerged from behind, her arms outstretched, her hourglass-shaped figure pressed tightly against the other person's body:
"You have no idea how much time and effort I spent to save you. Besides them, you know you have even more food to consume."
Thunder Zamza was enveloped in the Speed Force, the power he had seized from Johnny Quick after killing him.
"Hmm." He nodded to the Queen, then grinned. "I know what you want me to do. Don't worry, I will kill every single one of them. I, Alexander Luther, will become the most powerful hero in the history of this world!"
All of this was observed by Night Owl and Nightwing...
And of course... there's Batman.
Although they are not present at this moment, a heartfelt sentiment binds them together.
Our carefully prepared weapons... have finally come to fruition.
(Note: In Chapter 356, Night Owl had considered feeding them all to Thunder Zanza.)

"Should I take action?"
Darkseid asked.
He sat high on Apokolips, his eyes gleaming red, and asked in a low voice:
Is now the right time?
This doesn't mean that the Lord of Apokolips has completely obeyed Batman's orders, but rather that he knows Batman needs to team up with him to have a chance of defeating the Anti-Monitor. Now that he has realized he needs to cooperate with Batman, the Lord of Apokolips will not allow himself to have his chances of victory reduced due to tactical conflicts.
"Wait a moment."
Then he heard Batman say, "Things have changed. A more powerful weapon I arranged might arrive on the battlefield..."
"We'll need him to kill Superpower."
"Then……"
"I will tell you when the right moment is to launch Omega Judgment through his eyes at the anti-monitor."
