Ch.79 Objective Achieved

The two who had been lying on the ground like dead fish suddenly felt that the world had changed.

The dilapidated hut became charming; the sand beneath them felt warm; the person beside them, who was supposed to be an enemy, now seemed to be glowing pink!

The flaws they saw in each other before were now transformed into something entirely different in each other's eyes.

To Dane, the Sea Queen's theory of marine life supremacy, upon closer inspection, was just about protecting the environment and animals. How noble!

And organizing millions of Atlantean troops? Well, wasn't that just to strengthen the sea people's physical fitness, promoting exercise for everyone? After all, the underwater Amazons couldn't care less; nobody wanted to stay underwater anyway, so if others took control, it was only natural.

As for the centuries of conflict between the Atlanteans and Amazons, it was probably just a misunderstanding, right? They had argued and fought earlier, but now everything was fine, wasn't it?

"And, she's really quite dashing, hehe..."

As these thoughts filled his mind, a strange blush appeared on Dane's face.

At this moment, the Sea Queen also felt she had a new understanding of the person beside her. She had heard how cruel and cold-blooded the next ruler of the Amazons was supposed to be.

But now, after their fight and this shared experience, she realized the rumors seemed to be exaggerated.

He wasn't cruel at all. In fact, he was just as weak as any other man, always showing a flustered expression at the slightest thing. As for his past actions, perhaps he was just too young and reckless.

For example, capturing ordinary people to fight mythical creatures — maybe no one ever told him that ordinary people couldn't stand a chance against mythical creatures? After all, he grew up on Paradise Island, surrounded by elite warriors. It was normal for those people to battle Minotaurs or Manticores as a daily routine.

And destroying all the cars in a city to make people ride horses? That was probably for reducing emissions, protecting the environment. She protected the ocean, he protected the air — weren't they a perfect match?

Even the past conflicts between their people must have been misunderstandings. Just like now, once explained, couldn't they coexist peacefully?

As these thoughts swirled in her mind, her gaze unconsciously roamed over Dane's body.

"And he's quite handsome too, slurp..."

Click.

Bryce expressionlessly turned off her phone and put it away. She didn't want to watch what was happening in the small hut any longer. The moment she saw the two pounce on each other like wild animals, she knew it was time to leave.

"Ugh, that's kind of gross. Is the toxin really that powerful?" Barry said with a disgusted expression.

Su Ming crossed his arms and leaned against the cave wall, waiting for the fear toxin's effects on the Sea Queen to wear off. Once it did, they would no longer be confined to Dinosaur Island: "They weren't good people to begin with, so it's natural for them to express emotions more wildly. You have to understand." He took off his costume.

Barry's mouth twitched. Wild was an understatement! How was he supposed to erase that scene from his memory?

Bryce said nothing, quietly dismantling the lighting equipment, ensuring they left no trace behind.

Su Ming gathered his costume and the owl hood. For the first time, the Sword of Ares flashed as it shredded the pile of clothing into fine pieces. Once they left, he would scatter it into the ocean, leaving no trace.

Sheathing his sword, he nodded in satisfaction with the weapon, then patted the sulking Barry on the shoulder. "Alright, Barry, we need you to run one more time. Let's head back to Gotham."

By the time they returned to the Wayne Manor, the sky was bright. Though the clouds hadn't dispersed, the rain had stopped. Cindy was having lunch at the dining table, while Alfred was cleaning the windows. The fresh, post-rain air made everyone relax.

"How are your injuries?" Su Ming sat opposite Cindy, removing his helmet and picking up a piece of bread.

Leaning back in her chair, Cindy spread butter on her bread with a calm expression: "It's fine. As long as I'm careful not to get seriously injured again, there's no risk of losing control."

Su Ming nodded, taking the knife from Cindy and spreading butter on his bread. The sunlight spread across the table, gilding everything with a golden sheen.

"I'm leaving. Your world is safe, but Barry and I have one last battle to face."

Bryce had changed into her nightgown, once again looking like the wealthy family's young lady. She swayed over to the table and sat down: "It's not entirely safe yet, but at least things are moving in a positive direction."

"I agree with that, but our goal is really the child that the Sea Queen and Dane will have in the future. That child will undoubtedly be the ruler of this world," Su Ming said as he stuffed the bread into his mouth and turned to Barry, who had suddenly appeared beside him: "Bloodlines are that powerful. We wiped out the Sheeda Coven, framed the Court of Owls, and resolved the hatred between the leaders of the Amazons and Atlantis. As long as we're cautious, nothing major will happen for three to five years, and we'll perfectly avoid Barbatos's attention."

Bryce took a piece of bread to show her agreement. Among them, only Barry looked conflicted, staring at the food on the table, wanting to eat but feeling awkward, his expression pained.

"What's wrong, Barry?" Bryce asked. Now that Earth -11's situation was over, she fully considered Barry a friend, though she still kept necessary surveillance.

"It's nothing... I was just wondering about the future of the people in this world. Growing up in that environment, Dane's child won't be a good person." Barry's facial muscles twitched as he expressed his thoughts.

Su Ming patted his shoulder, pulling him closer: "Strictly speaking, they're just breeding tools. Their bloodline is the optimal solution for this issue. The Earth is safe; Batwoman will handle the rest. Don't you trust her?"

Bryce was expressionless: "This is enough for now. I'll keep an eye on them in the future."

Su Ming's main goal was to stay alive. In the process of saving himself, he had also saved everyone on Earth -11. Was he supposed to ensure their future quality of life as well?

He wasn't a superhero; why bother?

Alfred looked at the four in the living room and nodded approvingly. He was proud of his young lady. He laid out the prepared lunch on the table and stood by, ready to serve.

"Alright, Barry, if you're not hungry, let's go set up the cosmic treadmill. The main world still needs to be dealt with." Su Ming casually grabbed a few pieces of bread and took a swig from a bottle of wine on the table.

"Yes, it's time. Bryce, we need to borrow your Batmobile and treadmill," Barry said, smiling earnestly at Bryce as his clothes instantly transformed into his Flash uniform.

"Sure, I won't leave my world to help you fight Barbatos, but I can at least provide that assistance." Bryce hoped Su Ming would leave soon. His presence was too dangerous. A person who knew so much and was allied with Cindy made her feel unsafe.

Su Ming could guess her thoughts. A Bat never trusted anyone. He didn't bother to argue. After resolving the world's crisis, the conflict between Cindy and Bryce, which had been temporarily suppressed, would inevitably resurface.

Cindy also understood this but didn't comment. She absentmindedly twirled a knife in her hand: "Are you sure you don't need me to help? Now that we have a way to return, Bryce has already paid."

Su Ming shook his head with a smile. The Speed Force was unpredictable, and traversing the multiverse was no small feat: "No, this is your world."
