Volume 4: The Last Day Chapter 78 Our Wayne family is the upper class in Gotham. Do you understand that we are a perfect match?
Although the King of the Seven Seas was teleported to the desert and knocked down, and the Doomsday Ship of the Undersea People had been raided and robbed, this did not affect the fact that the vanguard of the Undersea Kingdom had already landed in Gotham as planned .
Large areas of suspended tanks and heavy artillery displayed on the coast outline a solemn war scene.
They used decisive artillery bombardments to flatten the buildings along the coast of Gotham City as their battlefield. Behind the continuous firing of heavy artillery, underwater heavy infantry emerged from the tide and marched towards the land in formation.
These guys also used devices that looked like meteorological weapons to bring heavy rain to the area near Gotham, in order to create a moist and cold environment that was more suitable for the Atlanteans' landing operations.
However, an army of this size was only the vanguard of the Atlanteans.
The order they received was to seize as much coastal land as possible of Gotham City to buy enough buffer time for the elite troops that would arrive later.
In short, this is a group of cannon fodder.
But they were cannon fodder with ideas. They had planned to occupy the entire city and set up an ambush before the she-wolves from Paradise Island, but they ignored the magical power of the Amazons.
The Amazons who were transferred to Gotham through the Hermes Talisman moved faster than they had imagined. They encountered the Amazon vanguard berserkers who rushed into the city from the other side head-on and were killed in the first wave of fighting for the city center. The defeated Atlanteans were quickly compressed back to the coastal area.
Seeing that the front line was about to collapse, in order to protect himself and better fulfill the task of delaying time, the commander of the underwater people did not think too long and decisively released a large number of cruel Trench fishmen.
These beast-like humanoid creatures were at the bottom of the caste system in the sea. They were not even slaves. In the eyes of the Atlanteans, they were just a group of brutal beasts who ate raw meat and drank blood.
Before His Majesty Arthur, who could communicate with all things in the sea, became king, the Trench People had always been a major concern for the people in the sea.
But after the King of the Seven Seas ascended the throne, these once feared deep-sea beasts were incorporated into the vassal army of the Undersea Legion. Although they were undisciplined, they were the best vanguards in the current battle that required rapid conquest.
Commanders don't even need to provide them with food.
The flesh and blood of millions of humans in the pouring rain in Gotham City is enough to lure these monsters to devote everything to His Majesty Arthur's great cause of conquest.
The twisted, ferocious, hunched-over trench fishmen crawling in the darkness rushed into the city from the sewer system connected to the sea water. They were no match for the ferocious Amazons, so they attacked lone warriors in groups, and soon spread out, creating horrific massacres throughout the city.
However, the tough citizens of Gotham are also well-informed.
Their nerves had long been tempered by the vicious crimes of the city, and facing the attacks of these underwater monsters, they quickly organized a counterattack.
The murlocs threatened them with their claws and sharp teeth, and they responded firmly to the invaders with the fire and burning bullets that the murlocs hated most.
Such counterattacks were seen by the Amazons as a tactical advantage, and so far, human settlements have not been brutally destroyed by the female warriors of Paradise Island.
The three forces fought in chaos in the city amidst the pouring rain.
Catwoman and Talia, as the "guides" of Paradise Island, naturally could not stay out of it. They took a team of female berserkers to occupy the strategic location of the city power plant, and then hid there and fought with the underwater people who came to compete in the nearby blocks.
"Isn't Diana here yet?"
The Venomous Black Cat, who had just defeated a group of underwater people alone, returned from the streets where the tide had risen due to the heavy rain. Her heroic and powerful fighting posture won the admiration of the group of Amazon soldiers around her.
As they celebrated the war and another small victory, Selina took off her symbiote suit and said to Talia, who was in charge of defense, with a grim look on her face:
“She gave us a hundred people and asked us to withstand the siege of thousands of nearby underwater people. She wanted us to shed our last drop of blood here.
I just saw the underwater people mobilizing heavy firepower, and it will probably be flattened soon. "
"That's Amazon tactics, Selina."
Talia carried a black sniper rifle on her back. She looked expressionlessly at the rising water and said in a cold voice:
"Diana Prince didn't intend to sacrifice us as cannon fodder. She just needed us to attract the troops of the underwater people to close in. In such a conflict between kingdoms, the embarrassing number of people in Paradise Island is a fatal flaw. If she wants to win, she must pursue surprise attacks again and again with fewer troops.
If my prediction is correct, the Queen of War should be leading her guards to attempt to launch a surprise attack on the Atlantean headquarters on the coast."
"Who asked you that?"
Catwoman complained:
"Do I look like someone who's interested in the wisdom of war? I'm not an Amazon, and I don't have a fanatical intention to sacrifice everything for Diana's victory.
We have our goals, Talia."
She moved her ears slightly, using the super senses granted by the symbiote to check her surroundings. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, she whispered to her rival in front of her:
"You know that Mason wants a peaceful ending, and the longer we delay here, the further away we will be from this goal. Are your people's operations on the seabed going smoothly?"
"I can't contact them at the moment."
Talia said gloomily:
“There’s strong interference over there that’s blocking communications, but the tracking secret technique I left on Damian is still working, so I guess they’re not in danger yet.
But using a small team to attack the Atlantean doomsday ship is tantamount to suicide. I don't know how Mason convinced my Damian, but even now, I still feel disappointed with his idea.
You and I have seen that the current situation is heading towards an irreversible deterioration, and Mason actually wants to rely on the limited power of Team K to prevent a world-destroying war.
He is either a saint who is willing to sacrifice his life for love and peace, or he is a lunatic who overestimates his own abilities.
I don't understand, Selina, why when he proposed that ridiculous plan, you took on the task without even a word of rebuttal."
The foxy woman glanced at the catwoman playing with her nails and said suspiciously:
"Do you have any leverage over him?"
"Mason has accomplished three things that seem incredible or even unreasonable to you, and I participated in two of them."
Catwoman snorted, put her hands on her hips and said:
“You have no idea of the wonders my little Mason brother is capable of, poor woman, and your poor imagination is not half as large as your heart.
Just do whatever Mason tells you to do, don't ask any questions, he always has his reasons and he will never hurt us."
"Black Cat Commander!"
Just as Catwoman and Talia were discussing these things, an Amazon Pegasus knight on patrol landed in the heavily guarded power plant in the heavy rain. She jumped off the majestic Pegasus regardless of the rain on her body and walked quickly to Selina's side.
Report to her:
"The underwater people who tried to besiege us are being attacked by a strange force! It seems to be an army organized by some abnormal humans in the city. Under the command of a weird woman, they blew up the chariots gathered by the underwater people and are fighting with those ugly fishmen.
They signaled us to move closer to them.
In addition, I saw the warrior who helped you rescue the queen in the sky..."
At this point, the Pegasus Knight curled his lips and complained quietly:
"That's the 'warrior' who was not mentally normal. He insisted on riding Pegasus with us on the island and almost got thrown to death. When he was sent away, he shamelessly stole the two dogs that the Queen loved."
"Harley?"
Catwoman blinked in surprise, then exchanged a glance with Talia.
She coughed, waved her hand, and said majestically:
“Ahem, that must be the vassal army that the loyal Harley organized for Her Majesty the Queen in the human city. That is also the important purpose of sending her back to this city.
The Queen's majesty and glory have obviously been transmitted to the poor and pathetic hearts of humble humans. Since they have assisted us in our war, we must not let these loyal servants of the Queen feel disheartened.
Chief of the Guard!
Select twenty Berserkers to follow me. We will go to meet the Queen's loyal servants. Their knowledge of the city will obviously help us better complete the attack and occupation of it."
A few minutes later, led by Venom Black Cat, a group of twenty Amazon vanguards smashed the wall at the corner from another direction.
Under the attack of cold and heavy rain, they attacked from behind, causing the Atlanteans who were struggling to resist the "Arkham Alliance" to quickly collapse under the attack from both sides.
Especially after Catwoman, using her crazy venom, broke through the blockade of dozens of people, beheaded the deep-sea captain of this small team on the street and ate most of him, the frightened underwater people shouted the monster's name and scattered.
"vomit"
Catwoman, who had retracted her Venom suit, leaned against the bent telephone pole next to her and retched.
She complained about the poison in her body:
"We all agreed not to eat people casually! You bastard, you make me feel like a pathetic pica."
"Don't be ridiculous, Selina."
Venom's muddy voice rang out in Catwoman's mind, and she argued with great pleasure:
"I chose to digest it instead of swallowing it to take care of your feelings. You won't feel like swallowing food at all, and that's not a human being, okay?
That is clearly a fish in human form!
I can see clearly that she has cheeks.
It's fine that people are not allowed to eat, but now even fresh fish is not allowed to be eaten? What? Do you feel sick when you eat sushi or sashimi?
You are so hypocritical, Selena. "
"Selena! Are you carsick? I have medicine here."
Harley, who was riding a war hound and dragging a baseball bat, jumped off her loyal and ferocious mount. This "dog knight" ran to her companion and took out a box of motion sickness pills and handed it to Catwoman with concern.
Selina sighed and ignored Harley, who was indeed a little crazy but just wanted to do something good. She looked back at the criminals who were chasing the underwater people in the rainstorm.
She also "studied" in Arkham.
She was very familiar with the prison uniforms of those guys, and there were even a few "old acquaintances" among them. A few seconds later, under Harley's "introduction", she met the commander of the Arkham Alliance.
Mrs. Martha changed back into her "battle suit", a purple women's suit with high heels. Her beautiful figure made her look very elegant while holding a clown umbrella.
But when she saw the colorfully painted cheeks and classic clown makeup, as well as the long green curly hair and the eyes that seemed like they could go crazy at any moment, Catwoman still took a step back warily.
She stared at the strange woman in front of her and said to Harley beside her:
"This is..."
"Oh, she is your 'mother-in-law'."
Harley, wearing a raincoat, chewing gum, and watching the fun with a baseball bat, said to Catwoman with a beaming smile:
"Ms. Martha Wayne, you are very familiar with her name, right? She is the mother of your beloved Batman from another world, and the clown grandmother of your adopted son Damian.
It's a pity that your father-in-law, Old Man Thomas Batman, took Damian to the underwater people to cause trouble and will not be back for a while, otherwise you could be reunited as a family.
What a wonderful thing this is.”
"Wait, what did you say she was to me? My mind is a little confused, what is this mess?"
Catwoman just stood there in a daze, as if her brain had crashed.
She stared in amazement as if she had suffered a mental shock at the clown old lady holding an umbrella walking towards her, until Martha was only two meters away from her, she suddenly reacted.
Sharp black claws popped out from her fingertips, and Selina made a "stay away" gesture.
Because of the strange relationship between the two, she, who was always very smart, didn't know what to say. She said without thinking:
"Your son and I are just in a relationship! We are not in a de facto marriage yet."
"Yeah?"
Madam Martha in Zhou Keer's form responded expressionlessly. She looked Catwoman up and down, and then said in an uncomfortable tone:
"She has a decent figure, a nice face, and a well-trained body and temperament that are acceptable. She won't embarrass my Bruce if I take her out.
But, I heard that you were a petty thief?
Even your criminal career is so tasteless. My lovely little Bruce told me that you almost broke down when you ran away from the grand wedding that my son had prepared for you...
Humph, just based on this point, you have no chance to be the mistress of this generation of the Wayne family. Just be a little lover who is not presentable. "
This "mother-in-law's teachings" made Catwoman instantly furious. When had she ever suffered such injustice?
He immediately bared his teeth and was about to call Venom to "discuss the pros and cons" with the clown lady in front of him.
However, just when the "relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law" of the Wayne family was on the verge of breaking down, Harley, who was pretending to feed the two big dogs but was actually enjoying the show, suddenly received a secret instruction from Mr. K.
"Stop arguing!"
She pushed her colorful helmet, jumped up immediately, stretched out her hand to block the clown and Catwoman, and shouted:
"Mason asked us to do some sabotage to delay the time. He said he would be here soon and that he was already awakening the 'secret weapon' against Queen Diana."
"snort."
The two ladies, who were disgusted with each other, snorted at the same time.
Catwoman was obviously very dissatisfied with her "mother-in-law from another world". Just when she was complaining about this to Harley, Talia, who had received the news and rushed over, got along unexpectedly well with Mrs. Martha.
Obviously, Talia, a noble lady with an ancient family name that has been passed down for more than 900 years, is very much to the liking of the old clown aunt who also comes from a prominent family.
Perhaps to piss off Selina, Talia, who has always been unruly and arrogant, behaved quite decently in front of Aunt Joker, just like the bad woman who pretended to be virtuous when she went on a blind date with the otaku but was actually a female Aquaman who wanted to find someone to take over.
The two had a very pleasant conversation.
While these four women, who all looked abnormal, were discussing how to find something to do for the Amazons, Mrs. Martha was about to arrange a marriage for her son, who was still far away in another world.
Obviously, in her opinion, Talia al Ghul, who had brought an heir to the Wayne family before they got married, was more suitable than Selina to assist her poor son, who had already embarked on the fate of Batman, in running the Wayne family.
Apart from anything else, this fox-like woman is indeed fertile.

"A-choo"
At the same time, in another world's Gotham City, the playboy Bruce Wayne, who was discussing matters with a distinguished guest who was decorating Wayne Manor, suddenly sneezed violently.
This prompted Alfred, who was standing beside him, to immediately hand him a cup of hot tea.
Bruce wondered inwardly why he suddenly had a strange chill just now, but as Batman he managed his expression so as not to show any abnormality.
He sat on a luxurious sofa, holding a cup of tea, looking at the lonely man opposite him who was holding a dog and had a reserved aura like an ordinary literary uncle. He said:
"Then let's move on, Mr. Wick, regarding the proposal to invite you to become a member of the second echelon of the Justice League so that you can represent the civilization behind you and personally observe our position and strength.
You need a new identity, a new uniform, a new code name...
'Night Devil' or 'Baba Yago' would be good, what do you think? "
