Chapter 432 No Choice (Please subscribe, read, comment on monthly tickets)
The Martian Hunter shared the information he dug out from Talia's mind with Martin's mind.

The Assassin's League built complex caves against the mountain, with twists and turns inside. It would be difficult to figure out these complicated passages unless you are someone from the Assassin's League.

But Talia was undoubtedly the person who knew the most about this matter, so Martin directly located the Lazarus Pool and used the Mother Box to teleport to the side of the pool.

Martin walked out of the pool first, and his whole body was instantly dyed green by the light emitted by the pool water.

He didn't need to feel it carefully, the powerful magic contained in the pool water would rush towards him.

The biggest feature of this magic power is its vigorous vitality. Of course, if it were just vigorous vitality, then this pool of water would only turn the dead bodies into larger pieces of meat.

What really brought those people back to life was the magical power of the Three Palaces contained in their life force, which blurred the line between life and death and could possibly stuff all sorts of messes into people's bodies.

But it is impossible to bring someone back to life in the true sense.

Because those who have died have been taken to the end by death, even the Three Palaces Demon can make some counterfeit and shoddy products to serve as substitutes for the soul.

But for Lars, this kind of paradox was enough.

"Talia's memory says that the Lazarus Pool can bring the dead back to life. Is that true?"

Martian Manhunter was also illuminated by the pool water, but his skin was originally green, so it didn't seem to make any difference.

"That depends on your definition of resurrection! If it's just about making a pile of meat move, then the Lazarus Pool can do it. But if you want to make a corpse stand up, feel pain, and reflect like a real life, that's impossible."

Martin was not belittling the power of the Trinita, but the Pool of Lazarus could only do so much.

Those who are truly able to regain their sanity after coming back from the dead are all people who have a place in destiny.

They are destined to shine on the stage of fate, which is why death ignores them and allows them to continue to move around in the world.

But others don’t have this privilege. Once they die, they are really dead and there is no chance to start over.

"Then there's nothing special about this pool of water. It just created a bunch of zombies."

The Martian Hunter did not casually sense the surrounding environment. Although he had never been exposed to magic, he knew that it was better to be cautious.

Martin looked around. There was nothing around the Pool of Lazarus. Not only were there no fancy decorations, there was not even anyone guarding it.

"Lars was too confident about the Lazarus Pool. He didn't even prepare a guard. What if someone breaks in and blows up the place?"

Martin really wanted to blow up this place. Anyway, this damn place was of no research value.

What disappointed him was the speed of the Assassin's League's response.

Teleporting to the vicinity of the Lazarus Pool was to attract Lars' attention and let him come over himself.

As a result, he chatted with the Martian Hunter for a long time, but no assassin came over, as if there was no one in this place.

"Although there are no superhumans in this place, your attitude is too relaxed."

It has been too long since the Martian Manhunter has used his Martian abilities to fight, and there is nothing in the U.S. government that can make him show his violent side.

Although the League of Assassins is full of dangers, it is not that dangerous for Martian Manhunter.

If he hadn't been worried about the impact of the Lazarus Pool, he could have controlled everyone in the cave in an instant.

Martin smiled and replied, "I just hope Lars can give me some unexpected surprises. The more power he can mobilize, the happier I will be."

Of course, Martian Manhunter understood what he meant. The more animals that the Assassin's League killed and the powers that did not belong to it, the more likely it would expose the identity of the person behind the scenes.

"They're coming!"

The Martian Manhunter's senses are so strong that he can sense someone approaching even without releasing the power of his mind.

Martin did not answer, but clenched his fists. The Five Spirit Lock on his right wrist began to glow faintly, gathering the power of the five spirits around him.

The power of the five spirits mixed with a hint of primitive wildness was somewhat violent. It almost forcibly squeezed away the magic power emanating from the water in the Lazarus Pool and opened up a special area.

Such a change is difficult for ordinary people to discern, but the Martian Hunter immediately sensed it, gave up his attention on the assassin, and turned to look at Martin.

"Focus, Ron! I don't want you to be harmed by those assassins because of me and be ruined."

Martin made a small joke, and then a large number of assassins rushed out of the cave.

These assassins stationed at the alliance headquarters did not use primitive bows and arrows, but instead all switched to energy weapons sold by the International Gang.

In an instant, thousands of beams of light raged inside the cave like raindrops, forming a dense net. Even an armored vehicle equipped with steel plates would be torn into pieces in an instant if thrown in this place.

"Roar!"

Martin roared like a black bear, and the power of the earth spirit gathered and flowed into his body along the Five Spirit Locks. His arms instantly turned into huge bear paws, covered with armor covered with rock spikes. He inserted them to the left and right sides, blocking the energy beams.

The Martian Hunter's method was more direct. His eyes emitted red light, and his whole body instantly became illusory and massless. The beams of light passed through him without causing any ripples.

"Earth and Mars are both in the same solar system, so why don't Earthlings have the same special abilities as Martians?"

Martin stepped on the ground, and the power of the earth spirit continued to flow into his body. The rock armor on his bear paws was constantly broken and then repaired.

"We've already started fighting, and you still have the leisure to make such a joke?"

The Martian Manhunter looked at Martin helplessly and was not surprised by his transformation.

Martians also have the ability to transform into other life forms, and the Martian Manhunter, as the best among them, can transform into hundreds of creatures and even copy the special abilities of those creatures.

"These are just side dishes before the main meal begins. Being so serious now is just adding unnecessary pressure to yourself."

Martin looked at the approaching assassin, stepped forward with his right leg, and his legs turned into bear paws, with khaki rock armor spreading from his limbs to his body.

In the blink of an eye, Martin turned into a giant bear that was more than five meters tall, covered with rock armor all over its body, and as big as a mountain.

This is one of the transformed forms of the Five Spirit Lock - the Stone Armor Bear.

Under Martin's bear paw, the power of the earth spirit spread, causing the entire cave to shake. The mountain suddenly exploded at points, and then cracks appeared at these points, and stones of all sizes began to fall.

The Pool of Lazarus was affected, and the green spring water inside began to boil. Small bubbles floated out, and then exploded, spraying out of the pool and dyeing the rocks below green.

The assassins were furious when they saw the damage to the Lazarus Pool, but they still attacked Martin in an orderly manner according to the rules set by Lars before.

The scattered energy beams gathered together in an instant, and the energy beams ejected from hundreds of gun muzzles resonated in the air and merged together to form a huge energy beam that directly hit Martin.

Martin did not dodge. The Earth Armored Bear was good at defense, especially when it stepped on the ground, it was almost immortal.

The assassins' attack seemed fierce, but Martin didn't take it seriously.

But the Martian Hunter couldn't just stand by and watch his companion being attacked, so he instantly turned into some kind of slug-like insect and surrounded Martin.

As the energy beam approached, his body quickly became transparent, revealing his simple organs.

The terrifying energy that could penetrate the cave hit the insect without causing any harm.

As the worm's body wriggles, its transparent skin breaks down and gathers energy, absorbing it into the body.

Then, the Martian Hunter transformed into a muscular alien with four hands, livid skin, but a small head, and rushed directly into the group of assassins.

He held an assassin in each hand, and picked up the assassins who were rushing towards him like chickens, and then threw them out casually. They hit the cracked mountain, and their bones were broken and they died instantly.

"Fortunately, these assassins have evolved and chose to use strong flashlights for illumination. If they had held torches, things would have been a bit troublesome."

Martin waved his two huge bear paws and slapped the assassins who rushed over and smashed them into meat patties.

Although the Martian Manhunter never mentioned it, his fear of fire should still exist, because the direct cause of the extinction of the Martians was a fire.

Since then, the Martian Hunter has developed a psychological fear of fire, which always reminds him of the scene of the demise of his people.

If a human being experiences this kind of trauma, it will take time for the psychological factors to subtly affect the body.

But Martians are masters of meditation, and their psychic powers can easily interfere with reality.

Therefore, the Martian Hunter's psychological fear of fire will really hurt his body, or even take his life. Martin has no solution to this. This kind of psychological problem can only be solved slowly and indirectly.

Martian Manhunter is a master of psychology. He may not be able to solve his own problems, but he can easily see through other people's plans.

"It seems that Lars is not at home today, so I won't be polite!"

Martin was not interested in those ordinary assassins. They were just zombies and there was no point in defeating them.

It would be even worse if these assassins were real people.

Killing so many brainwashed people would only make Martin feel that the world was full of rotting corpses and flesh, and he might even feel that the world was hopeless.

"Earth spirit power!"

Martin lay directly on the ground, with an ochre-yellow halo covering his body and spreading outwards.

The mountain range began to retract inward according to Martin's will. The rocks and soil of the entire mountain collided and squeezed each other, making a rumbling sound like an explosion.

The assassins didn't care about their own lives at all. They rushed towards Martin and Martian Hunter in wave after wave, trying to use their bodies to stop these two monsters who broke into the Assassin's League.

But no matter how hard they tried, the impact on Martin and Martian Hunter was negligible.

When Martin used the power of earth spirit to start shrinking the entire mountain range, they couldn't even stand steadily.

"My two friends from the Justice League, you are wasting your time. I am not interested in a fight between you and the lackeys of Apokolips."

Lars finally appeared, holding a gorgeous long sword inlaid with countless gems, and stabbed it into the ground.

The Lazarus Pool, which had begun to dry up due to the body's shrinkage, instantly regained its vitality.

Green spring water gushed out from the cracks in the mountain, instantly filling the cracks that had not yet closed, like small pillars penetrating deep into the cracks, supporting the shrinking mountain.

The spring water of the Lazarus Pool exuded vigorous magical power, tearing apart the solidified earth spirit power, not only restoring the mountain to its original state, but even dyeing the rocks and soil green.

Although the Lazarus Pool is mixed with the power of the Three Palaces Demon, the rocks stained by the pool water are as transparent and clear as jade.

Lars appeared and his goal was achieved, so Martin stopped and stood up again.

The Martian Manhunter jumped back to Martin and turned back into his original appearance. He looked very quiet and didn't have the feeling of a violent warrior just now.

"We don't have business cards with us. How did you know we are members of the Justice League?"

Martin did not cancel the transformation. He put his two paws together, trying to observe how much Lars knew and how much he was prepared to say.

"At this point in time, the only people who dare to barge into the Assassin's League so brazenly are the superheroes of the Justice League."

Lars seemed a little helpless. Even if he could manipulate some of the power of the Lazarus Pool, he might not be able to do anything to the two monsters in front of him.

"As expected of the leader of the Assassin's League, you are indeed smart. Since you can guess our identities, you must know why we are here. Come on, what are you going to say?"

Martin's tone was fierce and he took a big step forward, sounding a little threatening.

"Unfortunately, I don't know who is working with Apocalypse Star?"

Lars was also looking at Martin. He didn't know the identities of the two people in front of him, but he was still prepared to tell him everything he had investigated.

"The other party was always shrouded in a black mist and never revealed his true appearance. He was very wary of me, so he only found Talia at first and took advantage of my daughter's ambition."

"But Apokolips is not an ally of the Assassin's League. I truly believe in someone else, and I will never stand with the New God."

Martin knew he was talking about the Three Palaces Demon.

That six-eyed guy thinks highly of himself and doesn't even care about hell, so how could he possibly bow to Darkseid?

Trinita may not care much about Lars, but he will never accept his followers turning to Darkseid.

To a demon, followers who turn to their enemies are no different from minotaurs.

"I believe the Assassin's League will not stand on the side of Apokolips, but you still haven't given any valuable clues."

Martin acknowledged Lars' attitude, but he didn't intend to let him go easily.

"I can allow the Assassin's League to remain neutral in the next war, but the premise is that you must show corresponding sincerity. Otherwise, based on what Talia did, I find it hard to believe that you people will not do it again."

Lars had a blank expression on his face. He did not get angry because of Martin's coercion. He said calmly: "Although my people have not investigated the other party's true identity, one thing is certain that the other party is an immortal. He has lived for at least 10,000 years and has experienced the war with Apocalypse."

"Secondly, he brought Lex Luthor with him when he came to see me. They wanted to use the power of the government to attack the Justice League, and they came specifically to ask for my help."

Lars seemed determined not to get involved in this mess, and directly reported the names of several congressmen who had connections with the Assassin's League.

"That's all I know."

While Lars was speaking, he even dispersed the assassins around him, leaving him alone.

"These are all true!"

Martian Manhunter stood beside Martin, carefully testing Lars's thoughts to confirm whether what he said was true or not.

"Although these messages are vague, they also illustrate your attitude."

Martin believed in the ability of Martian Hunter, and then said to Lars: "If you want to remain neutral, you must sign a magic contract with me to promise not to attack the Justice League in any way before the end of the Apokolips War."

Lars's expression changed instantly, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't go too far. I tolerated everything just because I didn't want the people who schemed against me to be proud. But it doesn't mean that I'm afraid of you, the Justice League."

"Honestly, if it weren't for Damian, I would have torn down this crappy place of yours today, even if you summoned the Three Palaces Demon."

Lars was rude, but Martin was even ruder.

To put it bluntly, he was not at an advantage. Martin and the Martian Manhunter could easily take over the mountain and the people in it.

Lars had no right to bargain at all.

"You actually know the origin of the Lazarus Pool?"

When Lars heard Martin shout out the name of the Three Palace Demon, he instantly became confused and uncertain.

This could be considered his biggest secret, but he never expected it to be easily revealed.

Martin laughed twice: "The daughters of the Three Palaces Demon are all here with us, and those who believe in the Three Palaces Demon were also beaten to pieces in the battle of Los Angeles. Your little secret is really nothing."

If he wasn't worried that Rachel hadn't been adequately trained, rashly going on a mission might cause uncontrollable problems.

Martin brought Rachel over, and with a spell, he was able to manipulate Lars' soul in various ways.

The leader of the League of Assassins was imbued with the power of the Trinita, which meant that he was completely defenseless against Rachel's magic.

"This is my last chance. Do you want to sign a magic contract with me?"

Martin issued an ultimatum, and the Martian Hunter concentrated all his energy and prepared to take action.

"Okay! Since you know all the secrets, I don't have a choice."

Lars compromised, even though it was the first time in his hundreds of years of life that he had compromised.

Martin created a simple contract using a slate.

Lars signed his real name, which had not been used for hundreds of years, on the stone slab, and felt a sense of restraint upon himself.

Martin left the slate here. Once the contract is signed, there is no way to change or demand the contents of the contract unless the contents of the agreement are completed.

He left with the Martian Manhunter, leading the Assassin's League's investigation into the mysterious man.
