Again eating and drinking, Su Ming took out all the supplies from his belt for Barry to pick from, while the others, to maintain combat effectiveness, also gathered around to replenish energy.
The food wasn't anything special, just instant hot pots, but Su Ming didn't mind, he had plenty of them.
After eating and drinking their fill, Barry jogged a few laps in the underground space to digest, then gave a thumbs up and disappeared with a burst of speed in front of everyone.
"Wait a bit, when entering the Divine Speed Plane, the time flow will change, even if Barry is fast, under the effects of relativity, it will take an unspecified amount of time."
Su Ming gestured for the others to sit down and continue eating; after all, there were plenty of vacuum-sealed vegetables left.
However, before the tofu cooked, Barry returned in rags, looking very thin, stumbling a few steps before collapsing in front of everyone.
"Barry!"
John immediately manifested a mattress with his lantern ring, catching the fallen Barry and dragging him over.
Su Ming rummaged through his pouch for a stimulating needle, injected it into the torn part of Barry's uniform, and then asked Diana to ladle a bowl of hot soup from the hot pot.
Perhaps due to the effect of the medication, Barry became conscious, grabbing John's hand and saying, "I returned to the era when the Origin Wall was forming. It was an eagle, a huge eagle with a green glow. I couldn't understand what the bird was saying, but just by flapping its wings, it turned Papetua and her endless giant army into a wall."
After saying this, The Flash let out a belch and then fainted. This was likely due to excessive physical exhaustion and his brain lacking nutrients, causing him to faint from hunger.
Diana looked at Su Ming, still holding the small bowl. Should she still feed him?
Su Ming shook his head. How would you feed him now, by cutting open his esophagus and inserting a tube? Send him to the hospital for a glucose IV.
Unlike the others, Su Ming wasn't flustered at all; he even found it somewhat amusing.
Superman was the first to be targeted, and then Barry was sacrificed. The Justice League was steadily going strong with this wave.
"Alright then, wait for Batman to return and brief him on the situation. I have things to do, so I'll leave first. Enjoy your food and drinks."
With that, he opened the teleportation gate with a flip of his hand and disappeared into it.
"Hey, that eagle..."
Diana still wanted to ask something, but Deathstroke already slipped away, causing her to roll her eyes. Was he in such a hurry because he discovered something? Why didn't he say anything?
She withdrew her outstretched hand, picked up a small bowl, and drank the soup in one gulp, panting heavily.
At this time, she noticed Kendra looking at her with an ambiguous expression, seemingly very curious.
"What is it?" Diana composed herself, striking a dignified Amazon Queen pose, although there were still grease stains around her mouth.
Kendra fiddled with her helmet, placing it on her knee: "Are we thinking the same thing?"
"I don't understand what you mean, sister."
Diana lowered her head to look at the hot pot, poking at the vegetable leaves inside with a disposable fork.
"The eagle, the giant eagle The Flash mentioned earlier. As something that can seal Papetua and shape the Origin Wall, it is undoubtedly a high-level deity. In Egyptian mythology, the eagle represents the Sun God Ra...
Diana secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that nothing amiss was caught; luckily, Batman and Ron were not around. She straightened her face and nodded towards Kendra: "In Olympus, an eagle is the messenger of Zeus, that crafty bird is very good at spying."
John looked at the unconscious Barry, deciding to take him to the Hall of Justice for treatment, and said before leaving, "In Hinduism, the eagle represents King Garuda, and in Buddhism, it stands for the Golden-Winged Roc. In different religious environments around the world, it represents different deities, which doesn't explain anything."
Diana thought for a moment, shaking her head: "You're right, it's probably just a coincidence. We can give up on this now, because we don't know where to find such an eagle for help."
Kendra seemed a bit frustrated, bringing her wings to the front, feeling the cool texture of N Metal on them, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, Diana figured that since Deathstroke knew something, things should go smoothly once he explained the situation to Batman, so she focused on eating the hot pot, almost forgetting there was a corpse not far away...
.............
"How's it going?"
Su Ming patted Damian's head kindly, asking warmly.
He was currently at the Eternal Rock, not only with the Teen Titans and Shadow Contract but also having brought the Humiliation Squad here.
After leaving the group, he first met with Oliver, then gathered everyone, with a total of over twenty people available, which should be sufficient.
Nowhere else would be secure for discussions, only the magical sanctuary of Eternal Rock was reliable enough.
However, after asking the question, Su Ming noticed Damian giving him a strange look, as if he had something to say but stopped.
And that emotion only appeared for a moment, as Da Mi quickly turned his head to the messy room: "I'm exhausted. Don't make me team up with Harley again."
Su Ming glanced at Harley's expression from the side; she seemed quite happy, still reminiscing with Poison Ivy about things they saw in the Pyramid.
"Harley?" Su Ming called her.
"Hmm?" The red and blue-haired head turned around.
"The Joker is dead."
"Oh, serves him right, but it's not his first time dying. He'll come back after some time, which he never seems to learn from."
Harley seemed unfazed, turning back to play with Ivy.
Su Ming looked down at Damian, shrugged, and said, "You saw it too. Harley isn't crazy at all right now; she is more clear-headed and rational than anyone. You need to learn well, and you can't let your guard down due to the mundane surroundings."
Damian took a deep breath: "I understand. You brought us back here, so there must be a new plan, right?"
"Ah, that's right. I haven't had the chance to tell you." Su Ming smiled and signaled him to rejoin the team, then clapped to gather everyone: "Friends, I'm going to another dimension now. What a dimension entails is something you can google yourselves; there's internet here."
Bo Bo squeezed through the crowd and crawled onto Su Ming's shoulder, whispering, "Is it really up to dimensions now? They're still kids, is it too early for them to be exposed to this concept?"
"They're not just ordinary kids. Whether they're Super Second Generations or warlocks, understanding dimensions is just basic knowledge." Su Ming nudged Little Fortune Ape aside, as it had learned to climb people now.
Bo Bo gave him a helpless look: "Now the world's protective magic has a hole drilled, possibly by Circe, but the invasions have stopped. You know I'm not talking about them, it's the newcomers you brought."
Bo Bo subtly pointed to the Humiliation Squad.
"Oh, they're fine. Fallen Knights can understand their environment, and access to the magic realm is quite a significant opportunity for anyone, wouldn't you say?"
Su Ming first explained to Bo Bo, then directed the question at Charise.
"The red-haired Bat Heroine can handle magical affairs, and so can I." The Fallen Knight, wearing a golden mask, replied calmly, her voice low and restrained.
"Great, but this time we're not going to deal with magical affairs. This time, I'm taking everyone to a dimension with the intent to erase its existence completely."
Su Ming put away his smile and issued the command coldly.
