Chapter 316 Batman: Child… (Elbow Strike)
"Oh, come on, Miss Martian." Miss Martian scratched her hair, unable to help but mutter under her breath, clearly ashamed of her performance just now.
"Relax, Miss Martian." Martian Manhunter placed his hand on Miss Martian's shoulder, encouraging her. "It's okay, it's just a self-introduction, I know you can definitely do it."
Hearing the comfort from her blood relative, Miss Martian raised her head again, looked at the crowd in front of her, and finally mustered her courage after noticing that no one showed impatient expressions.
"My name is Megan Morse." Miss Martian introduced herself again. "I am Martian Manhunter's assistant, my Hero Name is Miss Martian."
"My name is Wally West, nice to meet you, you can call me Kid Flash." "Dick Grayson, Hero Name is Robin."
"Jackson Hyde, they all call me Aqualad."
Although the three had different expressions, they were all generous in releasing their goodwill, only one person was an exception.
"Roy Harper." Roy had been frowning since just now. "When can we end this Child's Play? I'm here to become a Super Hero, not to attend a Social Gathering."
Flash secretly glanced at Green Arrow, truthfully he didn't really like this Child, and really didn't know how Green Arrow got along with him.
"The Meeting is about to begin." Batman stepped forward. "But you are not qualified to participate."
"Why?" Roy looked very dissatisfied. "Aren't we the topic of the Meeting? Why not let us participate?"
Hearing Roy say this, everyone present showed shocked Expressions. To contradict Batman? Let alone the assistants, even in the Justice League, not many people have done this.
"Because you are not yet official members of the Justice League." Batman had no emotional fluctuations, as if Roy was not contradicting him. "So you are not qualified. If you have an Idea about the Rule, then you have two paths to take."
"First, become an official member of the Justice League, and then raise an objection to this Rule. After discussion by all members of the Justice League, modify it according to the voting results. Second…"
Batman paused, the entire Hall was terrifyingly quiet, at this time even a needle falling on the Ground could probably be heard.
"Second, you can choose to leave."
Roy was trembling with anger, he always thought highly of himself, and didn't even obey his adoptive father Oliver, let alone Batman.
"If you don't welcome me, then I'll leave." Roy flung his hand and was about to turn around and leave.
Green Arrow subconsciously wanted to chase after him, suddenly! The entire Base shook, this sudden shaking almost made him lose his footing.
"What happened?" Wally lowered his body. "Earthquake? Volcano eruption? Or a Super Villain attack?"
When talking about Super Villain, Wally's Expression was serious, but the excitement in his blinking big Eyes still betrayed him. In fact, it wasn't just him, the other assistants also showed excitement to varying degrees.
However, the excited Children did not notice the adults beside them, the Heroes' eyes flickered, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Emergency situation." Batman looked as calm as usual. "Justice League to the Conference Room to assemble, assistants all go to the innermost Safe Room, Robin you are responsible for leading the team."
"What!? No!" Wally exaggeratedly wailed, but still honestly followed Dick's footsteps.
Speedy did not follow Dick, but instead wanted to follow Batman and the others, for this reason Green Arrow had to stop and block him.
"Obey Orders, Speedy." Green Arrow rarely showed a serious Expression. "Go to the Safe Room, quickly!"
"I'm not a baby who needs Protection." Speedy retorted sharply. "I will prove to everyone that I am a Hero no weaker than anyone."
Green Arrow was a little helpless, it seemed he had indeed neglected discipline. Speedy didn't listen to him at all now, is it so troublesome for Children to enter puberty?
Obviously, this young master of the Queen family completely forgot his Playboy days.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound, Roy fell to the Ground in response. It was Batman who went around behind Roy and gave him an elbow strike when Roy was arguing.
"Drag him away." Batman said to Aqualad. When the latter came back to his senses, there was already one more person on his Shoulder.
"Now honestly follow me, everyone." Dick looked helpless, judging by his appearance, it was obviously not the first time he had experienced this kind of thing.
"Yes, Teacher!" Kid Flash stood at attention. "I will definitely be the most obedient one."
Miss Martian covered her mouth and chuckled, Aqualad shook his head helplessly. Everyone honestly followed Dick and ran towards the Safe Room, although one person was being carried.
Seeing that he finally couldn't see the Figures of the assistants, Batman pressed the Button on his Belt, and a heavy Security Door slowly fell, completely isolating the two sides.
"Is it over?" Flash asked softly, until Martian Manhunter nodded, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great, it's finally over, I was always afraid of revealing myself."
"Don't worry, your acting was very good."
"Really? That's great."
Green Arrow did not speak, he looked a little down, not because Batman knocked Roy unconscious, but because of Roy's performance today.
"You are too indulgent with him." Batman leaned closer to Green Arrow. "You need to know that if just now was also counted in the Rating, then Speedy can only be unqualified. Disobeying Orders is a major taboo, going your own way will sooner or later lead to Death halfway. Even Superman has things he can't do by himself."
"I know." Green Arrow sighed. "I will change my Teaching Style in the future. Do you have any Tips you can teach me?"
"No." Batman said. "Dick is a good Child."
Green Arrow became depressed. In fact, he had already seen it, among all the Younger generation, it seemed that only Roy was the most difficult to discipline. The others, even Wally, who looked the most mischievous, was actually a well-mannered good Child.
'What karma have I created?' Green Arrow sighed.
——————Divider Line——————
"This is the Safe Room." Dick led everyone to a Metal Door that looked very heavy based on the Map Batman gave him, and then used the temporary Authority Batman gave him to open the Security Door.
As the Security Door slowly opened, it revealed a Room that looked no different from an ordinary Home Kitchen. The only difference might be the bunk beds in the Corner.
Everyone walked in, and after the Security Door closed, they each found a place to sit down. The atmosphere was a bit awkward, because they had actually just finished self-introductions not long ago, and just getting to know each other, they definitely didn't have many Topics to talk about.
The atmosphere continued in this awkward atmosphere for a while, until Miss Martian broke the deadlock.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 317 Training Begins
'Hi, Megan!' Martian Girl rubbed her head. This silent environment even made her think she was on Mars. In Martian life, speaking aloud was actually a rare phenomenon; mental communication was the norm.
But now, neither form of communication was present. Frankly, she didn't really like this atmosphere. Everyone in the Safe Room, even the unconscious Roy, probably had their thoughts already wandering outside the Safe Room.
Megan thought it over and decided to break the silence. After all, they might form a squad in the future. Although it might be a bit dangerous now, it was undoubtedly a good opportunity for communication.
"Um..." Megan opened her opening hesitantly. After attracting everyone's eyes, she spoke again.
"Should I wake him up?" Megan pointed to Roy, who had been placed on the bed by Aqualad. "Batman's hit probably wasn't too heavy. I can enter his consciousness and wake him up."
"Maybe not," Wally shook his head. "Think about his behavior just now. Who knows what he'll do when he wakes up? I don't want to get into an argument with someone in a confined environment."
"I agree with Kid Flash's idea," Dick chimed in from the side. "Although I don't know why, Speedy is clearly a bit impatient. Waking him up at this time is obviously not appropriate. Let's wait until Batman and the others have resolved everything."
"Agreed," Jackson said, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
'Hey, Megan!' The little person in Megan's inner heart had turned into the world-famous painting "The Scream." 'My first idea was rejected. My first impression in everyone's hearts must be very bad. Don't Earth humans like my new image?'
"How long do you think the adults will take to resolve this event?" Wally opened his opening to ask. With Megan starting the conversation, his chatterbox was completely opened.
"Thirty minutes," Dick thought for a while and gave this answer. "Confirming the enemy, making a plan, fighting, and then subduing the enemy. This should be the most reasonable time."
"I thought it would be faster," Wally was a little surprised. After all, his and Flash's battles were indeed very fast.
"Sometimes, just running fast isn't enough, Kid Flash," Dick retracted his microcomputer. It seemed he had been busy with something just now.
Wally curled his corner of mouth and muttered, "You can't run that fast either, Robin."
"Pu Chi." A crisp laugh came. The two who were just bickering looked together in the direction of the laughter and found Megan covering her mouth and looking at them.
"Sorry, sorry," Megan hurriedly apologized. "But it really did hit my funny bone."
Wally and Dick looked at each other, both curling their corner of mouth and saying with a smile.
"It's okay, Martian Girl." ×2
Then the three of them laughed at the same time. After laughing for a while, they looked at Jackson, who was hiding in the corner, but whose corner of mouth was also curled up.
Jackson also noticed everyone looking at him and hurriedly said, "I'll pass. Aquaman is not a title I can presume to use."
At the same time, in the monitoring room.
"Why?" Aquaman Arthur spread his hands. "It's just a title. Jackson, this child, is still too rigid."
"But this also shows that Jackson respects you very much," Martian Manhunter J'onn J'onzz said with a smile.
"Seeing the children getting along so harmoniously, I'm also relieved," Barry breathed a sigh of relief. When Wally and Dick were bickering, he was really worried that they would quarrel. "After all, the people they've been in contact with and the environment they grew up in are very different. I was worried before that they wouldn't be able to chat together. Now it seems my worries were unnecessary."
At this time, except for Batman, who didn't like to talk, Green Arrow, who couldn't get a word in because his assistant was still unconscious, just watched them communicate quietly.
People's joys and sorrows are not the same. I only find them noisy.
"It's time," Batman suddenly opened his opening, interrupting everyone's words. Then he picked up the communicator beside him and said.
"Yang Le, the plan is ready to be implemented. Are you ready on your end?"
"I'm ready! I'm ready!"
Facing Yang Le's reply, Aquaman frowned. He felt like he had heard this reply method somewhere before. It seemed to be the catchphrase of that noisy chef in the underwater restaurant he went to last week.
"Then, the plan begins," Batman said, pressing a button on the operation console in the monitoring room.
"Sniff sniff." Jackson's nose twitched. He seemed to smell a strange smell.
"Guys, do you feel like the smell of the air is a bit off?" Megan said it before Jackson. But after all, she had only been on Earth for a short time, so she wasn't very sure if this was normal and could only ask everyone.
"It does seem a bit off," Wally also reacted. "A bit sweet? Is there aromatherapy in the Safe Room?"
"No!" Dick and Jackson opened their opening at the same time, but it was already too late.
"Thump!" The people in the Safe Room fell to the ground one after another. They only felt a dizzy spell in their brains, and double vision appeared in their eyes.
"It's... an enemy attack!" Aqualad wanted to draw out the Aquapack on his back. With it, Aqualad could condense water to make a simple mask to avoid inhaling too much sleeping gas.
Unfortunately, he could only fall to the ground weakly in the end. Megan wanted to gather her spirit and send a news to the Justice League, but the dizziness was too strong. She couldn't use her superpower at all and could only faint in the end.
Wally tried his best to crawl towards the security door, wanting to open the security door to release the air in the Safe Room, but he only crawled halfway and stopped moving.
Dick bit the tip of his tongue to barely gather a trace of spirit. He leaned on the table and straightened up, shakily took out a dart from his belt, and stabbed it into his thigh. Fresh blood gushed out, and the pain temporarily pulled his consciousness back.
He hurriedly took out his microcomputer and sent out the SOS signal he had written in advance, and then lowered his head and fell unconscious.
"Di di di!" Batman looked at the microcomputer on his gauntlet with a complicated face. It had just received Dick's SOS signal.
"If you ask me," Aquaman said with a rare serious face. "Although the assistants all came up with methods in emergency situations, the only qualified one is still Bat's assistant. This kid is too ruthless to himself. With Batman's ruthlessness, he's more like a warrior."
Everyone nodded in succession, considered agreeing with Aquaman's words. Only Batman remained unmoved.
"Should we go bandage Dick?" Flash asked. "After all, he's injured. We can also terminate the training."
"No," after repeatedly watching the video recording five times, Batman refused. "Dick stabbed well. That position won't have any impact on him in the future. Both my and his uniforms have the effect of covering the wound. Plus, the stab wasn't deep, and it won't bleed for more than ten seconds. When he wakes up, he can also use the first aid kit in his equipment to bandage himself. Training continues."
Seeing this, Flash didn't waste any more words and just said, "I will always pay attention to his state. As long as something is wrong, I will send him to the hospital at the fastest speed."
"Thank you," Batman loosened his tightly clenched fist.
(End of Chapter)
"Wake…"
"Wake up… Di…"
"Wake up! Dick!"
"Huff!" Dick Grayson suddenly woke up, subconsciously wanting to kip-up to stand up, and then follow with a backflip to create distance, but the pain in his leg prevented him from even completing the first movement.
"Ugh!" Dick gritted his teeth, suppressing the painful cry in his throat, but thanks to this pain, Dick quickly regained consciousness and was able to see the surrounding environment.
Wally and Megan were crouching beside him, looking at him with concern. Aqualad Jackson was standing in front of Speedy Roy, trying to wake him up.
"Are you okay, Dick?" Megan placed her hand on Dick. "After we woke up, we found that you had an injury on your leg. After removing the dart, I used the medical kit in the safe room to bandage you. How do you feel now?"
"Not bad." Dick struggled to stand up with Wally's support. Although he was awake, his brain was still a bit dizzy, probably because of the sleeping gas, and it took a while to recover.
"How long have we been unconscious? Did anything happen after you guys woke up?"
"We've been unconscious for about an hour." Wally looked at the digital watch beside him. "We entered the safe room around ten o'clock, and the current time is eleven thirty."
"I was the first to wake up, and then I remembered Megan saying she had the ability to wake up unconscious people, so I woke her up first. Then she woke up Jackson and you. But because you were injured, we decided to bandage you first, and then have Jackson wake up Roy."
"Pu!"
A sound of water came, and everyone turned their heads to look, and found that Roy had already stood up from the bed, and water was dripping from his body. Looking at Jackson holding the aquapack beside him, it was not difficult to guess how he woke up Roy.
"Sorry." Jackson said with a hint of apology. "The current situation is not very clear, I can only wake you up in this way."
Roy wiped the water off his face and said, "So who can tell me what exactly happened? After knowing the full appearance of things, I'll consider whether to retaliate."
"Actually, we are not very clear either." Megan told Roy all the message she knew.
"I see." Roy nodded, then placed his hand on Jackson's shoulder. "You did the right thing, we really don't have time to waste now."
"Thank you for your understanding." Jackson nodded with a smile. Megan and Wally also breathed a sigh of relief. They all changed their thoughts about Roy. They originally thought he was just a grumpy old brother, but they didn't expect him to be so reasonable.
"Then what are we going to do next?" Wally asked. "Wait for the Justice League to rescue us?"
"If that's what you think, then you might be disappointed." Roy drew the bow folded behind him, and after transformation, held it in his hand. "According to what you said before, we have been trapped here for more than an hour, then there is only one possibility I can think of."
"Are you saying the Justice League is in trouble?" Jackson looked serious.
"But how is that possible?" Wally looked incredulous. "That's the Justice League! Maybe they've already solved it and just want us to have a good sleep?"
Roy looked at Wally with an idiotic expression, which made Wally's fur stand on end. Fortunately, Dick spoke in time to stop the two from arguing.
"Roy's guess should be correct." After Dick waited for everyone to look at him, he showed his personal communicator to everyone.
"Before I was about to faint, I pricked myself with my own dart, and relying on the consciousness brought by the pain, I sent an SOS signal to Batman. The computer shows that the message has been sent successfully. If something hadn't happened to him, he would have definitely seen it and wouldn't have left us here."
Dick put away his personal communicator and continued, "You know we fainted after inhaling a special gas. No one knows if this other thing will be harmful to the human body. Normally, we should have at least woken up in the laboratory."
After Dick revealed his speculation, the safe room once again fell into silence. Unknown danger was outside the door, and the elders' lives and deaths were unknown. This feeling was indeed uncomfortable.
Roy curled his lips, carrying his bow and walking towards the security door, saying as he walked, "Is there anything else to hesitate about?"
"What do you mean?" Wally didn't understand, so he asked, opening his mouth.
"Those adults have obviously had an accident. I think this is the best opportunity to prove ourselves." Roy tested the strength of the bowstring. "If they are okay, then we will slap them in the face properly. If something happened to them…"
Roy clenched the bow, squeezing out a sentence from his throat, "Then we have to avenge them, so no matter what happens, we have to fight that guy outside the door!"
"The target has been marked, and the archer just needs to hit the bullseye!"
"Speedy is right." Dick walked to Roy's side. "It's useless for us to stay here. Whether it's fighting or escaping, we have to get out first, what do you guys think?"
"Agreed." "Seconded." "That makes a lot of reason."
"Okay, then let's go out and meet that guy." Dick said with a smile, then he looked at Megan again. "Miss Martian, can your telepathy connect all of us?"
"I can do it, it's the most basic of basics." Megan raised her hand and replied.
"Okay, then let's abandon the communicator equipped by the League and switch to the telepathy connection Megan built for us." Dick took off the communicator from his ear. "After all, we cannot rule out the possibility that the League has fallen. The other party may already know our communication channel, and using it again is no longer in safety."
"Then I'll start." Megan's eyes lit up with white light. "If you feeling a sense of foreign object invasion, it's normal. Uncle J'onn and I said this."
After Megan finished speaking, everyone really feeling a slight sense of invasion, but it quickly disappeared.
'Test, test, can you hear me? Everyone?' Megan said.
'Can hear you' ×4.
'This feeling is really amazing.' Wally was dancing with joy beside him.
'Stop thinking about useless things.' Roy knocked Wally on the head. 'We don't have time to waste.'
After stopping the clowning Wally, Dick waited until everyone was ready before pressing the button to open the security door.
Behind the security door was like another world. Inside the safe room was soft white light, while outside the safe room was red light emitting a danger signal, indicating that Justice Mountain had entered an alert state.
And after so long, the alert state has not been lifted, what this represents is already self-evident.
Everyone suppressed the unease and fear in their hearts and moved forward step by step in alert. Originally, Kid Flash wanted to go ahead to investigate, but because there was no intelligence, everyone unanimously rejected Wally's decision to send himself to death.
Moving slowly forward in alert, they finally arrived at the Hall of Justice Mountain after fifteen minutes. Hiding at the corner of the tunnel, they saw a shocking scene.
They saw several crosses erected in the hall, on which many members of the Justice League were trapped, not only their mentors, but also other members.
'Oh, no!' Megan covered her mouth.
Kid Flash gritted his teeth and ran out, ignoring Dick's dissuasion. In his opinion, as long as the members of the Justice League were rescued, everything would be easy afterwards.
However, when his thoughts were all focused on saving people, he didn't notice at all that an electric fence had been laid out in front of him.
"Aghhhh!" Kid Flash was hit by an electric shock and convulsed as he fell to the ground.
"Kid Flash!" Jackson saw his partner fall to the ground and immediately wanted to step forward to support him, but saw a big hand grab Wally from the ground.
That hand was huge, almost one palm could grasp Wally's waist. It was covered with black fur. Looking up along the hand, what he saw was a strong body covered with yellow and black fur intermingled.
Continuing to look up, he could see the other party's ape-man-like face. A golden trident grew on his forehead, and his white eyes were mocking everyone.
"Finally here." Yang Le, who had transformed into an Appoplexian, said. "I thought you guys were hiding?"
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 319: Battle Begins
Among the Alien Heroes in the Little Broken Watch, there are actually quite a few who could play the Villain role. For example, those Aliens from Anur System Planet.
Take Mummy, used during the "beating up kids 1.0" incident, Buzzshock used to defeat Parasite, and Ghostfreak, whom Yang Le was hesitant to transform into. These are heavyweight transformations, and just from their appearances, they are very suitable to be Villains.
Yang Le had his Reasons for not choosing these three. Mummy had already been used in 1.0, and transforming into him again would lack novelty.
Buzzshock was avoided because Yang Le wasn't sure if Roy was truly unconscious at the time. If Roy had glimpsed Buzzshock in a daze, it would be awkward. As for Ghostfreak, as mentioned before, Yang Le was always afraid of Zs'Skayr giving him a "Night of the Returning Soul."
As for Blitzwolfer, also from the Anur System, his Strength was insufficient. Leaving others aside, Megan, being a Martian, deserved Yang Le's serious attention. It wasn't just her Mental Abilities; Megan naturally possessed the powerful Physical Body of a Martian as well.
Furthermore, there was Kid Flash. His Speed had improved when saving Private Yang Le, so the Condition of being able to handle a Speedster was naturally added to the criteria.
In conclusion, Frankenstrike was chosen by Yang Le from the Corner. Originally, Yang Le considered using Buzzshock, but due to the aforementioned Reasons, he opted for Frankenstrike.
Frankenstrike and Buzzshock are similarly positioned, but neither is definitively stronger than the other, nor is one a superior substitute for the other.
However, Frankenstrike possesses an Ability that Buzzshock lacks: Telepathic ability, which, although only mentioned once in the Setting, is still part of his capabilities. Combined with his Electromagnetic Ability, Frankenstrike can even lift dozens of Tanks, War Vehicles, and Warplanes, compressing them into a Sphere to trigger a Metal Explosion.
This is considered Frankenstrike's Trump Card, although Ben in the original series never used this move. Instead, another Frankenstrike had used it. However, since it's in the Setting, it implies that any Frankenstrike can use it. This was also Yang Le's Reason for choosing him to face Megan and the others.
"Let go of me!" Wally's Body was still spasming slightly, a normal Phenomenon after being shocked, but it also meant he was currently unable to break free from Frankenstrike's Control.
Frankenstrike is an Alien Hero capable of wrestling with Four Arms; Wally truly couldn't break free.
"Hey! Gorilla!" Roy drew his Bowstring taut, the sharp Arrowhead aimed at Yang Le's Head. "I advise you to let him go."
The Snow Monster's original design was based on a Gorilla, and Frankenstrike, derived from Snow Monster, naturally possessed many Ape-like characteristics. Of course, this terrifying appearance was also one of Yang Le's Reasons for choosing him.
"Oh~" Yang Le curled his lips in disdain, looking just like a real Gorilla.
With a casual flick, he tossed Wally, who he had been holding, towards Robin and the others. Aqualad reattached his Aquapack to the Backpack on his back and quickly moved to catch Wally.
"Are you okay, Kid Flash?" Aqualad quickly asked. Wally shook his Head, indicating he was fine.
"His muscles should still be spasming a bit," Robin said, reaching Wally to examine him. "But don't worry, with his Physical Body exceeding that of an Ordinary person, he'll recover shortly."
'Although I don't know why he's being so cooperative and returning Wally directly, it's undoubtedly advantageous for us,' Robin communicated Telepathically to the group.
'The Justice League is still nearby. Fighting here risks harming them,' Aqualad added.
'We can split into two teams. One team lures the Gorilla away, and the other is responsible for rescuing the Justice League,' Robin suggested.
"What are you all gesticulating about over there?" Yang Le was inwardly helpless but maintained a ferocious Expression. These children didn't think Roy's Bow alone could restrain him, did they?
"So, it turns out the Justice League's assistants are just a bunch of cowards." Yang Le wiggled his Fingers to generate Electricity. Unlike Buzzshock, who could absorb external Electricity, Frankenstrike needed friction to stimulate the Bolts on his Body for Recharge. It was both convenient and inconvenient.
The convenience was that Frankenstrike could Recharge himself, but if his freedom was restricted or friction reduced, Electricity production would decrease or even cease.
"Whoosh!"
The Sound of Air Being Torn echoed as Roy released the Bowstring. The Arrow, already poised, shot out, aimed directly at Yang Le.
Yang Le curled his lip in disdain. Golden Electric Current flared, and the once unstoppable Arrow faltered upon contact, eventually halting completely.
Roy held not a Bow and Arrow, but a Starting Gun. As the Arrow was launched, the assistants sprang into Action.
Robin immediately removed his Gloves and tossed them to Aqualad. To counter Gotham's Electricity-wielding Villains, both his and Batman's Gloves and Boots were made of Insulating Material. Had defensive performance not been a concern, their Uniforms would likely be entirely Insulating Material.
Robin, mindful of his injured Heavy Hitter and impaired Action, deemed close combat unwise. He gave his Gloves to Aqualad, allowing the aquatic hero, whose Physical Body far surpassed his own, to engage in melee.
Aqualad slipped on the Gloves. Though slightly small, thanks to the Equipment's high quality, even stretched, the Gloves remained undamaged.
Regripping his Aquapack, Aqualad manipulated Water Molecule into two Water Blades and charged at Yang Le, Water Blade raised.
Golden Electric Current crackled around Yang Le again, intending to spread Electric Current Net across the floor once more. However, before he could channel Electricity into the Ground, three Arrows overtook the charging Aqualad, aimed at Yang Le's Vital Point.
In a real fight, Yang Le had countless ways to deal with both the Arrows and Aqualad simultaneously. But this was just a Test, no need for such seriousness. Yang Le chose to address them in stages, giving these young Hero a chance.
Retracting the Electricity meant for the Earth, Yang Le again used Magnetic Force Net to intercept the Arrows as before, but the result surprised him.
The three Arrows were unaffected by Electromagnetism, continuing straight towards him. Helpless, Yang Le could only punch them apart. It seemed these Arrows were made of non-magnetizable Insulating Material.
Just as Yang Le deflected the Arrows, Aqualad reached him, forcefully swinging his Water Blade.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 320 Turning Turtle in the Gutter?
Water, this gentle substance, can become a weapon with a little control, capable of cutting even steel.
Although Blitzwolfer's defense is impressive, Yang Le didn't dare to be careless. Unable to immediately counterattack, he used Blitzwolfer's mobility to quickly distance himself from Aqualad.
This wasn't just because Yang Le feared the power of the Water Blade, but also because of another property of water: its extremely high conductivity.
Although pure water has very low conductivity, Yang Le didn't know if Aqualad's Water Blade was pure water. Even if it was, once it splashed onto Yang Le, it wouldn't remain pure water.
Although Blitzwolfer's fur is insulating, no insulator can remain insulated once it's wet.
Therefore, among these assistants, the greatest threat to Yang Le was Aqualad, because he could disable the ability that Blitzwolfer relied on for survival.
A backflip allowed him to evade Aqualad's slash. Yang Le raised his clasped hands high, and as he landed, he slammed them down. A golden electric current wave rushed towards Aqualad.
Aqualad exerted force with his right leg, performing a side flip to evade the shockwave, and then charged towards Yang Le again.
Just as Yang Le was about to repeat his trick, he suddenly felt a very peculiar electromagnetic wave assaulting him. Yang Le immediately realized it must be Miss Martian's telepathic ability.
Facing mental abilities, even Yang Le didn't dare to be careless. He mobilized the electricity throughout his body, which erupted from the bolts on both sides of his head. The powerful electromagnetic force instantly distorted the mental impact released by Miss Martian.
The brains of creatures generate electromagnetic waves during activity, and mental abilities are, in the final analysis, a special kind of electromagnetic wave, naturally affected by strong electromagnetic forces.
This strong electromagnetic ability was likely the source of Blitzwolfer's telepathy.
Although it couldn't completely eliminate the Martian's mental impact, Blitzwolfer could weaken it significantly. The remainder could be resisted by Blitzwolfer itself, at most feeling like being hit by cotton candy.
'My mental impact has very little effect on him,' Miss Martian relayed this news to everyone in the telepathy channel.
'PLAN A failed, execute PLAN B,' Robin's face remained unchanged, thanks to the poker face education from the Bat family.
These two plans were what they had just discussed mentally. The so-called PLAN A was for the others to attract the gorilla's attention, and then for Miss Martian to release a mental impact at a critical moment to knock the gorilla unconscious. However, they hadn't expected the opponent to be able to resist mental abilities, so it failed.
As for the other PLAN B, it was to improvise.
Speedy received the order and quickly drew an arrow from his quiver, shooting it out. However, his aim wasn't Yang Le, but Aqualad, who was standing not far away, confronting Yang Le.
Although the arrows were all aimed at Aqualad, their landing points weren't on Aqualad's body. Aqualad ignored the arrows shot from behind and changed the form of the Water Blade on his Aquapack, turning it into a spiked hammer covered in spikes.
Aqualad swung the Aquapack on his right hand, and it happened to collide with an incoming arrow. The arrowhead immediately exploded, and the water hammer rapidly solidified, actually turning into an ice hammer.
Aqualad crouched down, adopting a charge form. Just as Yang Le thought he was about to charge again, a shadow so fast it was impossible to see clearly collided with Aqualad, and then both of them disappeared.
It was Kid Flash. His body had now recovered, and relying on his high mobility, he became Aqualad's legs, circling Yang Le and looking for an opportunity to attack.
"Not learning your lesson!" Yang Le slammed his right fist hard onto the ground. A golden electric circle centered on him spread in all directions. Although the speed of electricity couldn't catch up to Kid Flash, this kind of full-map AOE couldn't be evaded by speed alone.
Kid Flash stopped. This wasn't because he had given up, but because being in a high-speed state was inconvenient for his partner to use abilities on him.
Miss Martian flew into the air, her eyes glowing with white light. Kid Flash, carrying Aqualad, immediately flew up, evading the electric circle.
Aqualad and Kid Flash adjusted their forms in the air, feet against feet. Aqualad used Kid Flash as a stepping stone, while Kid Flash became Aqualad's thruster. Both exerted force simultaneously, and Aqualad charged towards Yang Le at an extremely high speed.
Crude cooperation, this was Yang Le's idea in that second. But as Aqualad got closer and closer to him, Yang Le gradually saw the scene behind Aqualad.
Behind Aqualad, a black bolt the size of a marble exploded with a bang. Intense white light instantly swept across the entire hall, illuminating the scene that had been dimly lit by red emergency lights as if it were broad daylight.
'FK! It's a flashbang!' Yang Le was instantly blinded. Ignoring the stinging pain in his eyes, Yang Le used his memory from before he was blinded to estimate the distance between himself and Aqualad, and immediately raised his hands to protect his head.
Before Yang Le could fully assume the bracing gesture, Aqualad's ice hammer arrived. Aqualad didn't brace himself for this hammer blow. Although he hadn't directly faced the flashbang, he definitely wouldn't feel good after such a close-range explosion. His entire head was dizzy. In this state, he didn't have the luxury of bracing himself, because he couldn't waste the opportunity his partner had created for him.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the ice hammer exploded, turning into countless ice shards. Yang Le was sent flying to the side, smashing into a pile of debris, his state unknown.
Aqualad fell to the ground, trying several times to get up, but couldn't because of the after-effects of the flashbang. It wasn't until Robin, who had been hiding to the side at some point, helped him up.
'Are you alright?' Robin communicated with him using telepathy, because he wasn't sure if Aqualad could still hear him clearly.
'I'm fine,' Aqualad shook his head, trying hard to recover his state. 'The timing of the flashbang was excellent.'
'Thank you for the compliment,' Robin curled up the corner of mouth into a smile. 'It's thanks to you holding out for so long, otherwise the plan wouldn't have been possible.'
'Alright, alright,' Kid Flash ran over at some point. 'Your mutual admiration can end now. There are still adults waiting for us to rescue over there. I really regret not bringing a camera, otherwise I would definitely take a picture of Flash's appearance and send it to him on his birthday.'
The three of them smiled at each other. Just then, Miss Martian's voice and a pulling feeling came together.
'Careful!'
The electric current sound of "Bili Pala" came. Before Miss Martian could use her ability to pull the three of them away, Blitzwolfer, wrapped in golden electric current and with all its fur standing on end, had already charged in front of them.
Having been reminded by Miss Martian, Kid Flash had already reacted, but just as he was about to run, he found his legs numb and unable to move.
"Ugh... Ahhhhh!"
One step slow, every step slow. The three of them couldn't evade in time and were instantly enveloped in electric light. When the electric light dissipated, the three of them had already lost consciousness and fallen to the ground.
Yang Le, with his eyes tightly closed, slowly exhaled a mouthful of foul air. He had been hunting geese all day long, but today he had actually been pecked in the eyes by a sparrow. He had almost turned turtle in the gutter.
