He heard that the Justice League was transported to this World through the power of the Magic Box, and the Magic Box was that super-tech device confiscated from Staro's body.
Ultraman still remembered Owlman taking it back then. Clearly, he must have figured something out but hadn't told them, that cunning fellow!
However, although Ultraman was somewhat displeased, his mind was very clear. If they were to go to another World, they would definitely need Owlman's knowledge.
It was no problem to let Ultraman fight and kill, but he couldn't solve quantum mechanics problems, nor did he know how to travel to another World.
So he needed to rescue Owlman.
Standing in the Antarctic Base, Ultraman looked into the distance. His telescopic vision and X-ray vision allowed him to see the situation in Gotham City directly. He found the location of Wayne Manor and also saw Owlman, who was being held under house arrest.
He observed for a moment. Currently, Owlman was trapped alone in the manor, and there were no other people inside the manor apart from him.
Ultraman felt a little strange. He seemed to be able to escape easily, but for some reason, he hadn't done so.
But in any case, this was a good opportunity, because Shazam wasn't here, so he dared to be reckless!
Moreover, Gotham City, with its perpetual lack of sunlight, was also very suitable for him to exert his strength. So he enveloped himself in a black cloak, carefully covering every inch of his skin.
After preparing, he soared into the sky, heading towards Gotham City from space. Traveling from space would not produce a sonic boom, effectively preventing a loud noise that could attract the attention of the Justice League.
The others in the Base heard the sound and rushed out to check, looking up to find that Ultraman's figure had already vanished into the sky.
"Where is he going?" Breakdance wondered.
The others exchanged glances, all shaking their heads, indicating they didn't know.
There was no way around it; Ultraman obviously didn't need to inform them where he wanted to go. He went wherever he pleased.
The few of them had recently been discussing finding a new hiding place. Superwoman knew about the Antarctic Base, and once she learned that Ultraman had escaped, she would very likely bring the Justice League to find them here.
They had originally wanted to discuss it with Ultraman, because only he could activate this Base and make it disappear.
"What do we do now?"
"Of course, we wait!" Gypsy rolled her eyes, yawned, and returned to the Base.
She had divined that they wouldn't encounter any trouble, at least until Ultraman returned next time, so she appeared very relaxed.
The others were at a loss for what to do and could only follow her back to the Base.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Earth, Ultraman had quietly infiltrated Wayne Manor... Of course, 'quietly' actually meant he just barged in directly while Batman was away.
He quickly arrived at the room where Owlman was imprisoned. The walls of this room appeared to be constructed of solid wood, but inside they were high-strength reinforced concrete, and the door was made of special steel.
But these things were useless to Ultraman. He punched through the steel door, tearing open the hole his fist made with both hands, revealing the scene inside.
Owlman heard the sound, turned his head, and looked at him in surprise.
"Ultraman? You actually escaped?"
Owlman knew the Justice League would never release him, so he could only have escaped.
"Owlman, you seem to be doing well?"
Ultraman saw the other person living such a comfortable life, which was a World apart from his own, and felt quite unbalanced.
Why did he have to be beaten up by that old man Wilson every now and then!
Little Thomas looked a bit thinner than before. Not only him, but Ultraman's physique had also shrunk considerably, but muscles were just decoration for him; his strength did not come from muscular power.
"What do you want to do this time?" Owlman said indifferently.
Ultraman clenched his fist: "Of course, to revitalize our Syndicate!"
Owlman nodded, which didn't surprise him: "To reclaim everything we lost?"
But Ultraman grinned and said, "No, I have a better idea. Why don't we just invade their World?"
Owlman was somewhat surprised: "Oh? You already know?"
It was fine not to mention it, but bringing it up made Ultraman somewhat displeased: "Owlman, you should have told me about this beforehand!"
Owlman ignored that point. He said thoughtfully, "You want to abandon this World and occupy their World? But I have a question, how will you get there?"
Seeing Ultraman staring at him, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "You think... I can do it?"
"Isn't it because of you that they came to this World?" Ultraman said unceremoniously.
Owlman pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a bit helpless. That's why, reasoning with a dimwit is truly too difficult... "Ultraman, first, I must tell you that I have no way to open a passage between two Worlds at will, unless I have that Magic Box, but it's currently in Shazam's hands.
Secondly, even if we could go to that World without using the Magic Box, have you forgotten something?
As long as the Justice League still has the Magic Box, they can return to their World at any time. Then, it will be us who have no escape route."
Ultraman hadn't thought of this part and frowned slightly: "It really won't work without the Magic Box?"
Owlman shook his head.
Ultraman was somewhat unwilling. He asked, "If I can get the Magic Box, will you be able to open the teleportation channel and seal the door from this side to the other World?"
Owlman looked at him with a strange gaze. Could it be that Ultraman had absorbed too much Kryptonite and his head was messed up?
Although he didn't know how strong Shazam was, if Ultraman could defeat him, he wouldn't have been imprisoned first, then escaped, and now secretly infiltrated here, avoiding the other Justice League members.
He wouldn't even dare to fight, choosing instead to steal from the opponent's home.
All these actions proved that Ultraman had no confidence in defeating Shazam at all, so how could he snatch the Magic Box?
But Ultraman had his own ideas; he knew that Superwoman now seemed to be working for Shazam.
When Wilson beat him up in prison, he even insulted him with Superwoman's betrayal. That bitch was now Shazam's plaything.
No wonder, for so many years, Superwoman had never been seen with any man; it turned out she liked this type.
If he captured Superwoman and threatened Shazam with her life, would Shazam choose to exchange for the Magic Box?
Actually, in Ultraman's opinion, their Syndicate and the Justice League could completely put aside their opposition, cooperate sincerely, and at most, the Syndicate could give up some of its ruling power and collectively submit to the jurisdiction of the Justice League.
There was absolutely no need for the other party to be so ruthless as they were now.
But unfortunately, everything he had seen with his own eyes, and everything he had heard from Wilson, showed that the Justice League was truly a very peculiar organization.
Was there really an organization in this World that did good deeds without expecting anything in return?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ultraman would never have believed it...
