Chapter 79 Superman is a Little Lazy

"Not for sale."

While in mid-air, Connorsto used Wonder Woman Diana's buttocks to put her down from his lap.

When Wonder Woman Diana saw the distant tsunami and the several people dressed in different clothes below, she quickly recovered from her blushing state to her heroic and sassy warrior appearance.

Zatanna held her magician's hat with one hand to prevent it from being blown away by the sea breeze, and quietly buttoned up her shirt with the other.

As the skeletal horse disappeared, the three of them fell from the sky together.

Connors can't swim and originally had no intention of getting involved in the tsunami drama, but since "Aquaman" Arthur was on the shore, he naturally wouldn't leave easily as a bystander.

Zatanna is currently a clingy pest; she goes wherever Connors goes.

As for "Wonder Woman" Diana, she came specifically for the tsunami—not to stop it, as she doesn't have that power yet; she came to save people.

However, upon arriving in Gotham, they found that the people there had already been moved to higher ground with remarkable efficiency with the assistance of the Gotham Police Department, so they abandoned their intention to rescue people and went to the beach.

A deafening tsunami was drawing ever closer. Even though "Aquaman" Arthur was poised to meet the tsunami, everyone else was on high alert and did not place all their hopes on "Aquaman".

Connors, however, looked at Aquaman, who was wearing a dark green cloak, his muscular upper body exposed, and only dark green pants and a gold belt, and suddenly realized what was going on.

The fact that the tsunami was stopped by a mysterious force was most likely due to this person. (See Chapter 1)

He's seen battles in cities, witnessed threats from hell, and even ventured into space. Connors hasn't been in this world for long, but thanks to the "gossip system," his experiences are quite rich.

But this was the first time he had ever encountered a threat from the ocean.

Tsunamis are a common sight in movies, almost a regular feature in natural disaster films, but this was the first time Connors, who can't even swim, had ever seen a tsunami in person.

The white line on the horizon grew thicker and thicker, and after a certain distance, it became a giant wave that could be seen with the naked eye, rapidly sweeping towards the shore of Gotham.

"Aquaman" Arthur gripped the trident on the ground with both hands, his muscles bulging, and ripples spread outward from him towards the tsunami.

The waves were shattered, but the tsunami continued, and Arthur's power seemed inexhaustible, remaining steadfast in the face of the ever-reforming tsunami waves.

Judging from the current trend, "Aquaman" can at most weaken the tsunami, but cannot completely stop it.

Just as "Green Lantern" Hal couldn't help but build a barrier again, and "Flash" Barry wanted to create a tornado to fight the tsunami, a man appeared.

"Superman" Clark flew over the heads of the crowd without stopping, his red cape fluttering as he charged directly into the tsunami, using his own body to disrupt its formation.

After quickly flying through the tsunami-like waves, "Superman" Clark flew back to "Aquaman" Arthur and took a deep breath.

Then, one of Superman's signature abilities, "Ice Breath," was exhaled from his mouth, freezing large amounts of seawater and even turning the crests of tsunamis into ice.

By the time the tsunami finally reached the shore, it was no longer capable of causing any damage.

"The Flash" Barry, watching as the tsunami he was powerless to control was thus averted by the two of them, couldn't help but complain:

"They're both so strong, I think I can retire."

"That won't do," Connors was the first to disagree. "If you retire, we're all doomed."

In the comics, anything is possible as long as "The Flash" is around.

Batman, who had been standing silently to the side, glanced at Barry and then at Connors, already pondering whether to redesign the measures to deal with "The Flash" going out of control.

"Outsider, I'm truly flattered to receive your approval," Barry said sourly. "But I can't be so focused on saving the world that I can't find a girlfriend."

Is this a deliberate attempt to sway me by seeing the changing faces around me?

Connors looked at Barry with amusement and said:

"Perhaps you're moving too fast, causing you to subconsciously ignore the people around you. Sometimes going too fast isn't a good thing; you can try slowing down."

After saying that, Connors looked at the relatively calm sea and prepared to leave. From the Gotham Museum to the deserted island, and now, he hadn't had a moment's rest.

If he hadn't been carrying Wonder Woman Diana on the way here, giving himself and his mind a bit of stimulation, he might have even fallen asleep in mid-air.

"Now that things are temporarily settled here, I'm heading back to Boston," Diana said, mounting her Gargoyle. "Connors, feel free to contact me anytime you need me."

Hal the Green Lantern looked around and walked over to Barry the Flash:

"Want to grab a drink?"

Although there were some frictions when they first met, their relationship became the strongest after the incident in the seaside city.

Hal noticed that Barry was feeling down and offered to keep his good friend company.

"It seems that the conflict between you two brothers has escalated once again, even to the point of sinking a human nuclear submarine."

"I can take you to the World Council and see if we can gain some say for your Kingdom of Atlantis."

Clark, who had just rescued the people in the submarine, said something that made Connors, who was about to leave, stop in his tracks.

This tsunami doesn't seem simple; it involves the feud between Aquaman and his brother Orm.

His drowsiness vanished instantly, and upon smelling the aroma of melon, Connors immediately turned into crumbs again, curiously looking at "Aquaman" Arthur.

As for why "Superman" Clark knew "Aquaman" Arthur, Connors didn't delve into that.

Superman flies all over the world saving people, so it's impossible for him not to know any superheroes.

"The World Parliament?" Arthur asked.

Not only does he look like a middle-aged man, but his voice is also much more mature than everyone else's, except for Lord Wayne, who deliberately lowers his voice.

"Yes, humans have certainly damaged your underwater ecosystem, but you have also sunk many human ships, which has caused a rift between you and your brother."

"Superman" Clark said, "Going to the World Congress and negotiating peace might be better."

It started raining again in Gotham, with raindrops pattering on the ground.

Aquaman Arthur, like a rigid middle-aged man, countered Superman Clark's suggestion with a question:

"Do you expect me to grovel before them like a horse?"

Batman glanced at Connors, clearly having triggered the keyword "horse".

"Superman" Clark is not good with words, and upon hearing this question, he instinctively turned his gaze to Connors.

With superhuman "super thinking," one can instantly find countless high-EQ and unbeatable answers.

Clark, you seem a little lazy.

When Connors saw Clark's pleading look, he stepped forward and said to Arthur, who played Aquaman:

"No, you are the King of Atlantis, so naturally you will stand on the World Council just like a king."
