American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

Now is the time for them to verify the feasibility of this approach.

But the result was not as smooth as they imagined.

"The 11th experiment begins!" Cyborg heard this and pulled the hand valve.

His hands have been repaired using Poseidon Steel, and the rest of his body's metal parts have been upgraded with this magical metal. He's much stronger than before and should be able to withstand a few more of Superman's punches.

After Steel Bone pulled the hand valve, a huge sphere rose up under the impact of the water's energy and began to rotate at high speed.

Under its disturbance, the surrounding water bodies were displaced, and clusters of lightning suddenly appeared in the void and were absorbed by the sphere. That was the manifestation of the speed force.

But the sphere was only focused on absorbing, and nothing happened that Batman and Cyborg expected.

In their design, it should have opened the barriers between the worlds and created a wormhole in space-time large enough for people to pass through, but this did not happen.

"What went wrong?" Cyborg was almost doubting his life. He was sure that his calculations could not be wrong.

But after the 11th failure, Batman discovered the problem.

"It's the timeline. The converging changes in the timeline have caused the space-time barrier between the two worlds to change. It's not that there's a problem with our calculations, but that they simply can't be calculated."

The assimilation of the time axis between the two parallel worlds begins to produce changes in time and space. Before they complete this synchronization, any calculation is useless.

The amount of calculation required is astronomical, and it would probably require an astronomical computer to calculate it clearly.

"Is there nothing we can do?" Cyborg said unwillingly.

Batman comforted him, "At this stage, we really can't do anything. Unless Barry cooperates with us on the other side, there may still be a chance..."

But Cyborg also knew that they could only rely on luck. They were completely in the dark here and had no idea what was happening on Barry's side.

"Maybe there's another way to take a risk." Batman said meaningfully.

"What method?" Cyborg asked curiously. He had been involved in this plan throughout the whole process, so how could he not know that there was another method?

"If we can make the energy ball absorb more speed force, maybe we can do it without Barry."

Cyborg frowned slightly when he heard this. The method Batman mentioned was actually to let the energy sphere absorb more speed force, so much so that the speed force it absorbed could be the same as that of the Flash.

This is equivalent to creating a new "Flash" who personally uses the speed force to open a space-time gate here, which is theoretically feasible.

But the problem is that in order for the energy-gathering sphere to reach this level, it must increase its rotation speed. The higher the rotation speed, the more efficient it will be in absorbing the speed force.

However, they had tried it before, and there was a threshold for the rotation speed that the energy sphere could reach. After exceeding this threshold, the rotation speed of the sphere would remain unchanged and it would no longer be able to absorb more speed force.

If he couldn't absorb the speed force, the rotation speed would be even lower. It was a vicious cycle, and Cyborg couldn't figure out how to solve this problem.

But Batman said, "The sphere's rotation speed cannot be increased, not because of its own properties or material problems. This sphere made of Poseidon steel can withstand higher rotation speeds.

The problem of its speed not being able to increase is that the connection between it and the Speed Force is blocked by another energy source."

Cyborg finally realized, "You mean, Atlantis's magical shield?"

Batman nodded. The protective shield of Atlantis was set up by Poseidon and contained a strong power of the old gods. Although it could not stop Darkseid, it could stop the uncontrolled speed force.

The power of the Old Gods and the Speed Force are essentially the first-level derivative energies of the God Wave. Although the decline of the Old Gods has caused the power of the Old Gods to gradually become inferior to the Speed Force, the residual power is still there, so it still hinders the efficiency of the energy-gathering sphere in absorbing the Speed Force.

But there is no way around it. After all, the shield is used to protect Atlantis. It is a necessary sacrifice and a necessary price to pay.

But Batman's meaning gave Cyborg a bad guess, and the next moment, that guess came true.

"Cyborg, if we remove that protective shield, more Speed Force will enter here, and the energy ball will be able to absorb more energy and reach the critical energy point..."

"You must be crazy!" Cyborg looked at Batman in shock. "You know Superman is out there looking for us like crazy, and you still come up with such an idea?"

"If Superman can borrow the Mother Boxes, then Atlantis's shield won't protect us."

From this we can see that Mera's act of protecting them was really risky. If she was not careful, she might very likely destroy the few remaining people of her tribe.

Superman is now extremely cold-blooded and ruthless, so it is not impossible for him to wipe out their entire clan in the process.

Cyborg was furious: "What you are doing is unfair to the Atlanteans who are still alive!"

"Victor, we must survive first before we can talk about fairness." Batman's expression was very cold and his words were very ruthless.

"Even if Superman never sees Atlantis, Apokolips' transformation of Earth will eventually affect us. Everyone's fate is already determined from the beginning. Doing nothing is just slow suicide; it won't change anything."

Even if the Atlanteans could hide here without being discovered by Superman and the demons, or temporarily hide in the sea at the center of the earth, Apocalypse's transformation of the earth would sooner or later completely change the climate environment of this planet.

Thousands of years ago, Poseidon transformed the Atlanteans so that they could breathe underwater, but can he once again use his divine power to make Atlantis adapt to the climate of living hell?

If not, the underwater people will eventually be wiped out, and even if time is slowed down, it will only increase the pain.

Might as well give it a try! Gamble on the chances of the time-space shuttle being successful. Besides, even if the protective shield is temporarily released, Superman might not be monitoring the entire world. As far as Batman knows, he's not that idle.

"This matter cannot be decided by you and me. Mera and the other underwater people must make the decision."

Batman frowned slightly. It couldn't be said that Cyborg's suggestion was wrong. On the contrary, he was absolutely right. But he couldn't let him do it.

Ask yourself, if Batman were in Mera's shoes, it would be difficult for him to make a rational choice. After all, it is always easier to decide to sacrifice others than to decide to sacrifice oneself.

So once Mera knew their plan, not only would she not agree, she might even turn against them on the spot.

You can't expect a woman who recently lost her relatives and loved ones and can only rely on the remaining tribe members for warmth to make such a rational and almost cruel decision.

So Batman can't let Cyborg do this.

"I'm sorry, Victor, but I can't let you do this."

Batman quietly reached for his belt, his thumb seeming to press a key.

Cyborg instantly felt that he had lost control of his entire body, with only his head still able to move normally.

He looked at Batman in disbelief: "You put an electronic virus on me!".

Chapter 406: Next dungeon!

"You infected me with an electronic virus! When did it happen?"

Batman deadpanned, "Do you remember your hands and body modifications? I helped a little bit back then."

You call this helping?

Cyborg almost couldn't hold back from cursing, why do you always have to add something to it every time you pass it over? Are you addicted?

He knew that Batman had always been wary of everyone in the Justice League, but he didn't expect that even at this point today, he would still have something to hold back!

You're fucking awesome!

"Don't worry, Victor. This won't kill you. It will only paralyze you temporarily."

I don’t feel at ease at all!

"Do you know what you are doing, Bruce? Once you do this, no matter what the outcome, you will become the common enemy of all Atlanteans! You will be hunted down, and the hunt will not stop until the moment you die!"

Batman's only response to Cyborg's words was: "I know."

Then he started operating the machine again in front of Cyborg, and the energy ball released the speed force that had been accumulated in one breath.

However, the energy ball is still rotating at high speed, which means that it is releasing the speed force while absorbing the speed force at the same time, and they are working together inside and outside on both sides of the protective shield.

Therefore, in a very short period of time, the speed force was concentrated on one point, continuously impacting Poseidon's divine power.

Although the speed force is not a very destructive force, it releases energy in the form of lightning. Such a large amount of electrical energy gathered can instantly break through the divine shield set up by Poseidon.

Cyborg didn't expect Batman to break through the shield in this way, and was completely stunned for a moment.

"It's faster this way," Batman explained.

It can also avoid unnecessary complications. If you use other methods to proceed slowly, not only will you waste time, but you will also be easily discovered by other underwater inhabitants.

So Batman considered this possibility when designing this machine and made some arrangements.

Cyborg was an honest child. Although he saw the whole process, he thought it was necessary to allow the energy ball to overload and absorb the speed force.

But even so, the breaking of the divine shield still attracted the attention of one person, that is Mera.

Now that she is in charge of Atlantis, all the movements here are under her observation, including Batman's experiments.

But Mera couldn't keep an eye on his experiment 24 hours a day, so he seized the opportunity.

It was right for Batman to prepare in advance, because if he chose to destroy the shield later, he would probably be caught by Mera before he could find the control platform, and she would not be distracted for too long.

As soon as he broke through the protective shield, Mera came to kill him.

"How dare you do such a thing!"

Mera was furious. She held the trident with the tip pointed directly at Batman and controlled the surrounding water to speed her up.

This made her rush directly towards Batman like an arrow.

"I.Am. Sorry, Mera, but this is necessary."

After breaking through the protective shield, the energy ball absorbed the speed force much more efficiently as he had calculated.

However, because breaking through the divine protection consumed a lot of the speed force that had been accumulated previously, it now takes some time to replenish it.

But it was obviously impossible for Mera to cooperate with him and wait for the energy ball to replenish its energy.

Batman pulled out a small grenade from his tactical waist pack and threw it out.

The grenade exploded in the water, and the substance inside spread like octopus ink, polluting the nearby waters and affecting vision.

But Mera is a sorcerer who is proficient in water control. She immediately transferred the polluted water to other waters, revealing the place where Batman had just been.

But there was nothing there, which was Batman's specialty, he could always find a way to disappear right in front of you.

Mera was feeling strange when suddenly, a big green net covered her and she was captured.

At the other end of the green net is Batman, who materialized this thing with the ring in his hand.

Not only that, Batman can also control the green light to split out a part, transform it into pliers, and take the trident from Mera's hand.

"Gods, you will be punished!" Mera grabbed the large net transformed by green light with both hands and said viciously.

"If the gods are watching here, why don't they come and save you?"

If Poseidon were here, he would definitely be embarrassed by Batman's words. Isn't the reason he doesn't come because he can't stop Darkseid at all?

Not to mention the Dark Lord, even Superman, it is hard to say whether Poseidon can win at this time.

The gods of Mount Olympus are very sensible and will never force themselves to admit defeat when they should. So when Darkseid killed Arthur and massacred the Atlanteans, he didn't even dare to fart.

Although Batman does not know what kind of person Poseidon is, he despises all gods equally.

It was difficult for him to respect a group of gods who were useless at critical moments.

Mera was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. The other party not only destroyed their protective shield, but also blasphemed their beliefs. She had never seen such an arrogant guy!

At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She shouldn't have taken them in out of momentary sympathy. The people on the surface were indeed all bastards!

Batman turned his head and stared at the energy ball that was spinning faster and faster, and couldn't help but feel a little hope.

Just as he calculated, the energy ball quickly broke through the barrier that had been impossible to break through before, and the surrounding space became slightly distorted.

"It worked!" Batman waved his arms vigorously and couldn't help but feel relaxed.

Even though he just looked like he was determined to succeed, he still wanted to succeed this time.

His methods may be a bit extreme, but it is all for the purpose of achieving better results.

But what he didn't know was that he was not the only one waiting for this opportunity, there was also someone who had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

That's Superman!

He had been staring at this sea area for a long time. After the divine shield disappeared, Superman's super vision immediately observed the location of Atlantis, and he immediately rushed to the sea at the fastest speed!

He was like an indestructible bullet, easily penetrating the sea water. His iron body treated the water pressure as nothing, and in the blink of an eye he had reached Atlantis.

Mera immediately sensed the presence of an invader at the kingdom's borders, and she anxiously exclaimed, "He's coming!"

Batman suddenly raised his head and saw a fist as big as a casserole in front of him. It was Superman's fist!

He made a blocking motion, but was knocked away by Superman's punch.

Superman was a little surprised. Although he restrained some of his strength, this force was enough to kill Batman. However, Batman blocked it without any injury, not even a scratch on his skin.

"Are you surprised?" Batman said this deliberately, which really aroused Superman's curiosity.

Batman must find a way to distract Superman from the orb that is absorbing the Speed Force.

Then he raised his hand to Superman, with a green ring on it attracting attention: "You should still remember this!"

After that, a beam of green light lit up. Superman's speed was not faster than the speed of light, but after being attenuated by the water, the speed of the green light beam was still a little slower, giving Superman some time to react.

However, it was of no use. Although he turned his head in time, he was still hit in the face by the beam of light.
