Su Ming understood when he saw Megan and tapped on the helmet on his knee.
"Though I don't know if it was the Titans striking by chance, or if Earth just got lucky, at least they captured this ship." Su Ming saw Steel Armor fixing the holes, then ordered her to figure out how to get the ship moving: "With the Fish-Men's gods driven back by me, we don't have to worry about anyone daring to board the ship for battle."
Megan nodded blankly. Was this something Deathstroke realized in an instant? Is he still human?
Even Batman wouldn't have the guts to stay in the middle of the enemy fleet to verify his suspicions, right?
"You're probably wondering if this is something Deathstroke thought of in an instant? How terrifying! And you're comparing me to Batman, aren't you?"
Su Ming flicked the ash from his cigarette with a strange smile while looking at Megan.
The little girl took several steps back, her green face showing a panicked expression:
"Do you also have psychic abilities? But I didn't feel you peeking into my thoughts."
Su Ming showed a lonely-as-snow expression, looking out into space through the window.
"No, it's just regular calculation, all basic operations. I'm a standard human, with no superpowers."
Megan displayed an anxious animal-like expression and retreated to the other end of the bridge.
Who believes such nonsense? Claiming to be a standard human...
Since when do human standards include growing tentacles?
"Stare..."
Raven was watching the commotion nearby. She seemed very curious about the new Deathstroke, specifically about his ability to extend tentacles.
Rachel loved tentacles and wanted to discuss usage tips with Deathstroke but felt a bit embarrassed.
She was only open with familiar people, and with Deathstroke, her familiarity was entirely different.
So she wanted Donna to help her ask about the tentacles.
Donna just wrapped up her wound on the side, not commenting on this.
Donna had heard Deathstroke mention molecular nanomachine arms or something like that, but during action, she felt those tentacles were living and had their own consciousness.
It was some unknown alien entity entirely different from what Raven conjured with magic.
Moreover, after just fighting, they should seize the opportunity to rest during the lull in battle, even if just for a few minutes; it's very important.
However, there was one thing Donna was a bit concerned about.
Deathstroke had talked a lot with Megan earlier but didn't say a word about the next step of the plan, leaving everyone in the dark.
Operating with such secrecy as if always on guard.
But Deathstroke isn't Batman; outside battle, his demeanor is relaxed, always smiling, without that paranoid feeling of being persecuted.
Donna thought maybe it was her misconception. How could someone as strong as Deathstroke have delusions of persecution?
Perhaps her understanding of him wasn't deep enough; maybe mysticism is the key to creating miracles?
At this moment, Steel Armor reported to Deathstroke that she had learned to operate the ship, though advanced features required more research. Basic interstellar navigation was no longer a problem.
Su Ming stroked his chin, surveying the bridge environment and extinguishing the cigarette butt on the captain's chair armrest.
"Very well, your next task is to inspect all the ship's communication devices, security probes, signaling devices, etc., eliminating any potential monitoring or surveillance equipment...."
Seeing the somewhat confused Steel Armor, Su Ming added a few more words:
"I know you don't understand alien equipment, take Night Shadow with you, but anything that even slightly resembles a transmitter or emits electromagnetic or magical energy, dismantle it. I always feel someone is spying on us, eavesdropping on our conversations, someone always wants to kill us."
Donna: "..."
She figuratively flipped over a small tea table in her heart. Isn't this paranoia if not that?!
Watching Steel Armor, utterly bewildered, go to carry out the order made Donna feel exhausted. Deathstroke was always so unpredictable; she couldn't keep up with his thinking.
You think he'll go to Point A, and he'll deliberately go to Point Z, completely opposite conjecture. When you think he'll head to Point Z, he'll skip the letters entirely and play with ancient Greek or Egyptian scripts instead...
So she completely gave up trying to guess what Deathstroke was thinking. She would just follow orders when he gave them...
................
On the Blood Reef, Arthur, badly beaten, laughed heartily, feeling that Earthlings had finally gotten some relief.
Indeed, Nu Tao was broadcasting the battle live to Arthur through the ship's surveillance equipment.
The original plan was to let Sea King watch his friends die, to torture him, to make him cry and wail like a beast, venting her inner anger and depression.
To exact revenge on Earthlings for what Poseidon and Aryan had done to them.
But unexpectedly, the broadcast hadn't been going on for long before Zhen Hai, who was originally pressing the Titans, was sneak attacked.
A sneak attack is one thing, but Admiral Nu Tao's expression was still calm at the time. As long as there was no Tear of Extinction, no weapon posed much of a threat to the Sea God.
Elementalization is just that powerful, and it's merely a small trick that a Sea God inevitably masters.
But as time passed, Admiral Nu Tao's smile gradually faded, while Sea King lay in the filthy water making 'pat-pat' sounds.
Too funny.
The Aliens wanted to torture him, to watch his friends die, but unexpectedly the broadcast showed Deathstroke beating up Zhen Hai, which delighted Sea King immensely.
If not for the wrong place, he even wanted to have half a dozen beers, like watching a football match, drinking while watching is the most satisfying.
It was truly exciting, especially when Deathstroke used dual blades to strip Zhen Hai bare, making the Sea God lose face completely, Arthur was so thrilled he started patting his belly like a hand drum.
One must know this is the arena at Blood Reef; he's not the only one watching the live broadcast. There are countless Alien Fish People around the coral pillars or behind seaweed beds...
Arthur even felt a bit sorry for Zhen Hai. How can he still pretend to be a deity? Better to commit suicide.
The previously lively arena fell into silence when Zhen Hai's naked body appeared on the giant water screen, some clever Alien Sea Race had already fled.
Witnessing the deity's embarrassing moment, if you don't want to die, it's best to run quickly.
And the more honest sea race fell to their knees in an instant, shedding tears, some even poking their own eyes, indicating they hadn't seen anything.
Arthur's mood brightened, even though he himself was imprisoned, but seeing Earth still has hope made him happy.
And then he saw Deathstroke discover the enemy's weak point, that Fish Tooth Necklace. Next, he started a new strategy around that point, Arthur was about to stand up and applaud.
Unfortunately, he had been beaten up by Black Manta before, and now having lost the Power of Life, he simply couldn't stand up.
But he still slapped the standing water on the ground to express his admiration.
Although he's not too competent as a king, having been at Blood Reef for so long, as the Earth Sea Race King, he also discovered some secrets of the Alien Sea Race.
That is, the necklace on Zhen Hai was actually a remote control for controlling sea monsters.
It's actually a Magic Prop; Arthur just doesn't know what to call it. Anyway, he just understands it as a toy ship remote control.
Zhen Hai controls Flood Demon with that necklace, rampaging on Earth, spewing a large amount of Magic Sea Water, turning Earth creatures into his soldiers.
The necklace can only be worn by Zhen Hai, whether it's damaged or he actively removes it, Flood Demon would lose control.
And if Flood Demon loses control, it would turn into Death Sea Demon, the Power of Annihilation-filled sea water would turn the Earth into a puddle of dead water like Zhen Hai's home planet.
The Alien Sea God still wants to occupy Earth's waters and live there as a new home.
Of course, Zhen Hai wouldn't dare let Deathstroke touch the necklace, so he was beaten up and had to retreat through Flood Demon's Teleportation Gate.
After that, maybe Admiral Nu Tao still hasn't given up, intending to find Deathstroke's weak point, still staring at the screen endlessly.
Arthur then saw Deathstroke actually keenly discovered there were actually three fish species left from the Sea God's home planet on the ship, and took them as hostages, leaving the vast fleet clueless.
The hibernation ship transporting the fish species became the action base for the Titans and Shadow Contract Team.
Peculiarly, the strongest combatant Zhen Hai was no match for Deathstroke and could only watch helplessly as Earth creatures piloted their spaceship, swaggering around.
Arthur laughed to the point his eyes disappeared.
Moreover, Deathstroke seemed to have a sixth sense, sensing someone was monitoring them, didn't reveal any important information, but instead insulted the Sea Gods, finally ordered Steel Armor to thoroughly check the spaceship's communication system.
And Admiral Nu Tao's broadcast thus was interrupted, no idea what was happening on the ship now.
Sea King admired Deathstroke deeply, though in truth he's severely injured now and can only lie down.
The situation of the Sea Gods here, including their plans and strategies, seemed to be seen through by Deathstroke. A series of actions thwarted all of the Sea Gods' plans, what could make Arthur happier than this?
"Are you happy?"
Admiral Nu Tao looked at Arthur expressionlessly, his teeth grinding noisily.
Arthur earnestly nodded, smugly said: "Of course, you'll all fail, just like Zhen Hai."
"Do you know who that black and yellow human is?" Admiral Nu Tao stepped down from the throne, leaned closer to Arthur and asked.
"Yes, he's my friend, a friend of the Justice League." Although Arthur was lying on the ground, he puffed out his chest, glorifying the Justice League.
"Very well, men, drag the Earth Sea King away for questioning. I need to know that person's weaknesses, his family, his friends, or his fears, anything will do."
Admiral Nu Tao called on a few fish-men to drag the bewildered Sea King away.
He was just saying it, no matter how hard you question him, the only answer is 'I don't know!' Honestly, they're not even familiar!
When 'I don't know' is the answer, this interrogation becomes endless...
