I, the younger brother of Superman, ended up with a Thanos template.

“There is a pool called Lazarus deep in the Rocky Mountains. You can get what you want from there.”

With a humiliated expression, Lei Xiaogu recited a series of coordinates.

In fact, there is more than one Lazarus Pool on Earth, and he searched for it everywhere to establish an important base.

He would never have reported the location of the Assassin's Guild headquarters to the person in front of him.

Otherwise, the headquarters of the organization he had painstakingly built over centuries might have been destroyed at his whim.

“Take him with us, let’s leave, Clark.”

"I don't intend to just blindly trust him. I'll just hand Lei Xiaogu over to Clark," David said.

He didn't necessarily need the Pool of Lazarus in the Middle East; he just wanted something with healing properties.

Being closer to the spring and getting water sooner would also mean that Jonathan, the father, would suffer fewer injuries.

Where are you taking him?

Batman burst through the dome, spread his wings, and landed, his deep voice echoing through the air.

He looked at Lei Xiaogu, who was somewhat disheveled, with a complicated expression.

"I think you are the real ninja master."

Lei Xiaogu was his mentor when he was trained by the Shadow Warriors Alliance. He taught him a lot, and even taught him the importance of hiding his true identity behind a mask to become an unfathomable monster, which would make people more fearful. The two were both teacher and friend at that time.

"That ninja master dressed as a monk is just a puppet you put on."

"No, when I wasn't around, he was indeed a master ninja."

Lei Xiaogu looked at his most prized disciple with a sigh.

He recognized the familiar lower half of the face at a glance as his former disciple, and he had long guessed who the bat that had recently appeared in Gotham was.

“You really did what I taught you, hiding your vulnerability behind a mask.”

"That's enough, our conversation is over."

If he's not lying to me, I'll spare his life and bring him back for you to deal with.

David, anxious to save lives, frowned, not intending to give the teacher and student any more time to reminisce.

Batman helped him this time by providing a clue.

With that, he and Clark disappeared from the spot, taking Ray Xiaogu to the Rocky Mountains.

……

The Rocky Mountains, known as the backbone of North America, stretch for thousands of kilometers from north to south and consist of numerous smaller mountains, both famous and unknown.

An unnamed spur of the Rocky Mountains, at an altitude of over two thousand meters, where the air is thin.

At the mountain's summit, snow-capped and magnificent, lies a stone palace.

Swish!

David and Clark, who was with Ray Xiaogu, suddenly appeared, and a gust of wind blew up the snowflakes behind them.

"arrive."

“I saw a pool at the bottom of the palace.”

Clark's X-ray vision revealed a pool-like area at the bottom of the stone palace, guarded by many people, which delighted him.

Once we get the spring water, we can go back and save our father.

The existence of a pool doesn't necessarily mean it's real. David wasn't that naive. He warned Lei Xiaogu, who was shocked by how quickly they had arrived in the Rocky Mountains, in a cold voice once again.

"You better not be lying to me, or you can start preparing a coffin for your daughter in advance."

Dozens of assassins dressed as ninjas leaped out of the stone palace and surrounded the two, as if facing a formidable enemy.

David glanced at the miniature cameras hidden among the branches of the tall cedar trees around him, then looked away.

"Your place is quite advanced."

"All of you, step back."

With shock still etched on his face, Lei Xiaogu ordered the ninjas to take orders. Looking at everything familiar around him, a storm raged within him.

It's hard to imagine where these two came from, taking him across thousands of kilometers from Gotham to the Rocky Mountains in less than half an hour at a speed beyond sound.

It's one thing if it's just one person, but the key is that both of them have this unimaginable ability.

"What exactly is your background?"

I have encountered things that are hard for ordinary people to imagine when I travel the world.

But I've never seen anything like you before.

"You don't need to know these things."

Ignoring the ninjas who had sheathed their weapons but were still watching them intently as they tried to rescue him, David and Clark led him deep into the palace.

A stone chamber built from a cave, and a pool that is emerald green in color.

In the dim light, the green pool water made Clark's face look somewhat green. He hated the color green and instinctively felt something was wrong, so he looked at his younger brother.

"Is this really the pool you described with all those amazing functions?"

It doesn't seem like a holy spring that can bring people back to life; it seems more like the product of a demon.

"Is this the Lazarus Spring?"

David frowned. It was the first time he had ever seen the spring that was said to bring people back to life. He bent down and put his hand into the spring.

"Of course it's not good. The Lazarus Spring can heal all injuries, bring the dead back to life, and grant immortality, but if overused, the pool will charge a corresponding price, such as driving people crazy. Good people go in, bad people come out."

Lei Xiaogu looked at his reflection in the pool and sneered.

He had long known about the corrosive effect of the pool water on people's minds, but he didn't think he had been changed; it was all his choice.

"Ok?"

Clark looked at his brother in surprise, something his brother hadn't mentioned beforehand.

"Stop talking nonsense, my brother."

David asked Clark to take out the water bag he was carrying, then stood up and flicked the pool water in his hand, which he felt had no energy at all.

"You should know that people can also die from water poisoning if they drink too much water."

Some comics say that the Pool of Lazarus is due to the impure Dionysian factor—a liquid metal that grants immortality—while others say it comes from magical energy, which is why it has these abilities.

"I don't know about the other pools, but this pool seems to be from the Dionysus factor."

Looking at the emerald green pool water, his eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly an idea came to him.

Even though his ability to manipulate energy is not yet at its peak and he cannot absorb magical energy, his perception of energy is still unparalleled.

"Perhaps it will evoke negative emotions and awaken people's darker side..."

But to ignore dosage is to be irresponsible. Even if you don't soak in any pool of water and get through a terrible day, someone can still turn into a heartless clown.

People naturally experience negative emotions, and if they are not strong enough, such as feeling down or irritable for a short time, they will be forgotten in an instant.

Clark hesitated for a moment, then decided to listen to his brother; he had no other way to save their father.

"No matter what, it's better than Dad dying from poisoning."

After retrieving a water bag that was half the height of a person.

"We can go back now."

Clark glanced warily at Ray Xiaogu. His brother had made him wear the blue hood to conceal his identity, so he hadn't called David by his name or mentioned that he was there to save his father.

"Wait a moment."

With the pool of water reserved as insurance, David could take bold risks.

He fired lasers from his eyes into the pool water.

The emerald green pool water began to evaporate rapidly.

"What are you doing?

Are you going to destroy it?

A dazzling light shone in the dark stone chamber. Lei Xiaogu's face turned ugly after his initial shock, even though he controlled more than one of the Lazarus Pools.

Being captured and forced to hand over the location of a pool was already humiliating enough for him, but now they want to destroy his Lazarus Pool right in front of him.

However, he wisely refrained from doing anything.

Clark looked puzzled.

"If you don't want to die here, shut your mouth!"

David's eyes emitted terrifying cosmic energy, heating the boiling pool water.

The DC world has many magical metals, such as Nitrogen, amber, etc. The Dionysus factor is named after Dionysus, the god of wine in Greek mythology, who represents rebirth.

Pure Dionysian factor can grant immortality and eternal life, but it does not have the ability to drive people mad.

"If we obtain the pure Dionysian factor, Father's recovery will be more secure."
