The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 239 The Pool of Immortality

Whether Hercules was concerned about saving face or genuinely had something to offer, since the other party had said so, Li Zhen should go and attend to her own business.

Hercules' eyes widened as he watched Li Zhen turn and leave.

"What are you going to do? Aren't you going to explore the realm of gods?"

"What are you doing?!"

Li Zhen pursed her lips.

"Now that we know about the enemy's existence, of course we should immediately seek to protect ourselves."

With a flash of light, Hermes appeared in front of Li Zhen.

"You are currently a spirit, and there is no place safer than Olympus."

"Yes, yes, I completely agree, so I plan to go back now to retrieve my body. Didn't you say you had a way to bring my body back to life?"

Li Zhen looked at Hermes with a half-smile.

"What, or is it that the divine realm actually has other ideas, or that Zeus has other ideas?"

Hermes' eyelids twitched, and his black diamond eyes stared at Li Zhen in silence for a long time before turning his head to look at Hercules, who was slowly getting up from the ground.

Hercules glanced at Li Zhen, then at Hermes, his gaze becoming somewhat intriguing.

In the end, Hermes said nothing more and gently tapped his scepter.

The magic gate reappeared, and Li Zhen composed herself, stepping towards it.

As they brushed past Hermes, they exchanged a glance.

Then Li Zhen's figure completely disappeared, while Hermes' eyelids drooped, even the darkness was half-hidden.

He turned to Hercules, his gaze sweeping over the latter's deathly pale face.

"Your injuries?"

Hercules looked at Hermes, his face returning to its harmless and innocent appearance.

"An enemy has attacked the realm of the gods. Hermes, you are fast, so you need to hurry and inform Zeus of this."

The messenger gripped his scepter tightly, not responding immediately.

"Hurry up!"

Hercules urged.

The latter finally turned around and disappeared from the spot.

Earth, Gotham City.

As soon as Li Zhen appeared, Rachel activated the Shadow Dimension teleportation to bring her to her side.

The telepathic connection between them allowed Rachel to immediately sense Li Zhen's inexplicable urgency.

A pale little hand covered Li Zhen's face, and the latter's previously blocked memories gradually became clear like flowing water.

Rachel then stepped back two steps and used her magical tentacles to wrap around Li Zhen's body.

"Are you going to the realm of gods to heal your body?"

Rachel was ready. As long as Li Zhen emphasized it to her three times, she would immediately escort Li Zhen's body to Olympus.

Li Zhen, having regained her memories, was stunned for a moment. The confusion in her eyes finally dissipated, leaving only a ferocious expression.

"No, the enemy is already right in front of us. Who knows how many traps are set up in the Olympian realm? Even that old geezer Zeus has been infiltrated like a sieve—let's go somewhere else."

Without hesitation, Rachel immediately activated her magic and, guided by Li Zhen's telepathic connection, headed towards a specific location in Gotham City.

Soon, the two figures emerged from the apartment where Jason was hiding.

Jason, whose red bone helmet was currently in the open position, was startled. He was writing and drawing in front of a blackboard covered with newspapers and photos, synthesizing the clues he had already obtained in a very old-fashioned way.

Although Li Zhen recalled that they had not obtained any useful clues last night.

A pair of pistols painted with matte black paint were pointed at the two men who emerged from the shadows, and Jason then recognized them.

He brandished the gun barrel in annoyance.

"I can't guarantee my reaction time will be this slow next time I pull the trigger. What are you guys doing here?"

A magical tentacle flew out from the shadows on Jason's sides; the bat family's preference for dark environments gave Rachel a unique advantage in casting spells.

Jason remained silent as the two tentacles quickly bound him into a ball.

"You know this thing can't actually restrain me, right? It's like I know a handgun poses no threat to you."

"Just to avoid you asking any more unnecessary questions."

Li Zhen reached out and grabbed the end of the tentacle, pulling Jason flying into the air.

"We don't have much time."

The shadows completely engulfed the three of them.

The next instant, a figure draped in a black robe suddenly appeared inside the apartment.

The tall, slender figure leaned on a scepter, revealing only a pale chin.

He first went to the place where the three had disappeared and looked around, then glanced at the photos on the wall that Jason had covered with various red lines connecting them.

"Tsk."

The man in black robes made a sound that sounded like a dry complaint, but he didn't say anything more. After striking his scepter once, he disappeared from the spot.

Because Li Zhen asked him to lead the way to a place that even Jason considered quite dangerous.

"Are you sure? The Pool of Lhasa Road? Do you know that people who are resurrected from that pool suffer some kind of psychological side effect?"

"It's a long story, but for me right now, it's at least more reliable than the promises of Olympus."

During this time, Rachel opened the Shadow Dimension again. This time, Li Zhen didn't even have time to jump out. She reached out and grabbed a guy who looked completely bewildered.

Kronos was shocked and was about to activate the time-space device on his body when Li Zhen knocked him unconscious.

Then, Li Zhen stripped off the armor that allowed for small-scale spacetime manipulation from Kronos's body and put it on her own corpse.

Jason looked at the ill-fitting armor, which was loosely draped over Li Zhen's corpse, his tone full of suspicion.

"Can it prevent the Lhasa River from corrupting one's mental state?"

Li Zhen shook her head as she helplessly inspected her armor for any damage from the earlier rough handling.

"It can increase my success rate."

Jason wanted to ask more, but he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Rachel's forehead was already dripping with sweat. Clearly, it was quite a challenge for the girl to move four people at once.

Since the other party had already made up their mind, Jason was too lazy to try to persuade them anymore. However, Li Zhen gave a brief explanation of the whole story.

Now Jason had no more doubts.

For Jason, who comes from the Bat family, if he had to choose between the resurrection method promised by Olympus and the resurrection method he already knew and possessed, even Jason himself would choose to soak in the pool of Lazarus again.

Even if Olympus's promise was merely a hypothetical assumption that there might be side effects.

"That's not as reliable as making choices that we already know and have a certain understanding of. It's foolish to hand over your fate to someone else."

Although Li Zhen didn't explain it very clearly to Jason, she eventually gained Jason's support.

"Now there's only one question left."

Li Zhen had some doubts.

"What's the problem?"

Crimson-tinged bone fluid spread from both sides of Jason's skull until it completely covered his face.

Red Hood once again drew his two pistols from the holsters on his thighs and began skillfully checking the loaded and bulleted state.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Lhasa Pool in this world should also be in the hands of Reshogu of the Assassin's Guild. He's not willing to let just anyone share his secret of immortality."

The murderous aura emanating from the red-hooded figure began to boil.

"We have no choice but to take it by force."
