"Come on, do it. What are you waiting for? ”

Black Manta hears Batman's voice.

That's not how it should be. He made a lot of preparations and paid a lot for killing Aquaman.

"Kill him, Arthur Curry, your enemy."

The Black Manta Ray is stuffed into the Trident of Aquaman Arthur in his hands.

He looked at the enemy in front of him. His eyes were closed, unconscious, like a silent statue or a dead pig waiting to be slaughtered.

He carefully made a small cut in Aquaman's arm with his trident, and watched the red blood flow out of it.

It's true, not a muddy face.

"Hmm, what's going on......" The pain in his arm woke up Aquaman Arthur, he opened his eyes and just wanted to speak, and then in the next second, Chen Tao grabbed the super boy Connor, who had not yet reacted, and gave him another bit, and Aquaman fainted gorgeously again.

"Enough!" Connor, the superboy who has been used as a one-legged bronze man until now, covered his head: "It's too much, my head hurts, and his skull is so hard." ”

But Black Manta still suspects that Batman is lying to him, so he opens his palm again, and the diving suit armor squirts out a little water and sprinkles it on the face of Aquaman Arthur.

Stimulated by the cold seawater, Aquaman opened his eyes again: "What's the matter, my brain ......"

Connor was smart this time, and he tried to run, but his reaction was still slow.

Bang!

Superboy Connor also faints with Aquaman.

Black Manta finally believes that it is Aquaman who is finally in front of him, not another scam by Batman.

"I'm here to give you Aquaman with all my heart." Chen Tao said: "Try it, I know that I have been waiting for this opportunity all my life. ”

"I don't understand why you'd do that." The black manta ray stared at him. His gaze lingered on the superboy next to him covering his head.

"You're a superhero," he said. ”

"I'm a supervillain." Chen Tao said.

He turned his head to look at Blackjack and the group who were staring blankly at them not far away. A large number of leaders of the organization, as well as a few soldiers manipulating the instruments.

"I'll prove it to you."

In full view, Black Jack, the organization's second-in-command, saw Batman pick up an Atlantean ...... directly from the pile of weapons he had just dumped on the ground Water guns?

As a villain in an evil organization, Blackjack has planned several attacks on the government disguised as Atlanteans, and she knows about this Atlantean weapon, a firearm that converts water into laser shots.

Then she saw Batman frantically holding the gun and slapping it in his hand:

"Hmm...... Huh? How do you use this thing? ”

With a bang, the laser projectile that went off suddenly melted a small piece of the wreckage of the building next to it, which had already been destroyed.

Blackjack:!

She saw Batman raise the water gun that he had learned how to use, and then the corners of his mouth grinned at the root of his ear, and he swore solemnly:

"You slaughtered Aquaman, and then I can take it as an accident."

“？” A question mark popped out of Blackjack's head.

Then she met Batman's red eyes, exactly the same as the last time she faced Black Manta Ray, the same red eyes that made her unforgettable:

"My people won't speak, and the only ones who might leak the secret are this group of witnesses. As long as you kill them all, and know that all the people you killed the Sea King are dead, isn't it an accident? ”

“？？？ What? ”

The crowd was in an uproar, but before the noise could spread, they saw that Batman seemed to turn into a drifting black mist in an instant, and in an instant, he rushed over.

So the question that had not yet been spoken suddenly turned into a howl of a ghost crying wolf:

"Ahhh!!h

"Pounced, it pounced, something was biting my foot!"

"Help!! Batman !! Mom!! ”

Some tried to resist with guns, but soon lay on the ground and fell asleep peacefully, which only added to the fear of others.

Soon the gang collapsed - the real hard bones were dead on. When the group was first taken over by the Black Manta Rays, and they were leaders or firers themselves, not soldiers on the front line, they were almost instantly defeated.

Why is my organization so wasteful......

Black Jack thought so, but soon realized that he had been sifted before the black manta ray, and the rest had been put down by the black mist released by Batman just now, and the guys in front of him were just the result of screening.

Blackjack watched numbly as the farthest exit from Batman was pulled open, and the crowd howled and tried to rush out, but was quickly forced back by Batman, so she could only collapse to the ground, and only she could barely stand.

— and that bothered Batman.

Black Jack suffocated as he watched as his inhuman, fiery eyes turned to him.

She felt as if an illusory flame was burning from the soles of her feet, all the way to the top of her head.

"Oh......?"

The hot tongue of fire licked her forehead as if it was about to burn her to the ground, and then ......

"That's enough." Black Manta said.

He turned sideways, blocking Batman's glare at Black Jack.

Like a pool of icy seawater pouring on his head, Blackjack's originally stiff corpse-like body suddenly relaxed. She sat on the ground, shivering, breathing heavily, unable to tell if it was because of the fiery fear that Batman gave her, or the fear of the deep sea that the black manta rays imparted.

But the only thing that is certain is that in the current situation, the Black Manta ray is much more secure than Batman.

From behind, she looked at the black manta ray's latissimus dorsi muscle, which was outlined like a tide under the armor of her diving suit.

The black manta ray, which once terrified her, now gave her a sense of security that she had never felt before.

She clamped her legs, and her eyes changed.

"Let's do it." Chen Tao said.

The black manta ray pinched the halberd shaft of the Aquaman Trident with mixed tastes, and Batman had already intimately helped him to help the unconscious Aquaman Arthur up and lean on the chair next to him, and then pointed his point at Aquaman Arthur's throat.

All it takes is a light touch...... Gentle and dexterous force is not much greater than the force required to pull the trigger.

His diving suit armor provides him with extraordinary powers, and the trident in his hand is an artifact of Atlantis, capable of piercing Aquaman's tough skin with ease.

However......

I don't know why, he ...... He couldn't do it.

He heard Batman's voice: "Why don't you do it?" ”

Chen Tao watched his opponent's movements intently to make sure that if the Black Manta Ray really wanted to do it, he would be fast enough to stop the other person and save the life of Aquaman Arthur - but for now, the Black Manta Ray reacted the same way he thought.

So...... You can add a little more fierce material.

His voice froze.

"Come on—what if you kill him? Hurry up and get started! Don't you even have the courage to kill him? ”

The black manta ray gasped violently. He looked enraged.

"Do you think I wouldn't dare? I, all my life, want, kill, Arthur Curry! ”

Fury. Black Manta couldn't tell where the anger came from, but he was angry.

He gripped the Aquaman Trident tightly, pushed it forward, against the unconscious Arthur's neck, and his hand shook uncontrollably.

He could even feel the pulse of Aquaman's breath through the trident, and feel the beating of Aquaman's heart through Aquaman's steel-strong skin.

After the black manta ray made this action, it froze there, and Chen Tao didn't urge him, he just crossed his arms and watched from the side.

Blackjack plucked up his courage and stood up behind the black manta ray. A certain emotion that transcends the relationship between her boss and her subordinates drove her to burst out with the courage to surpass a third-rate villain:

"Black Manta Ray, you need me to do it for you......" But as soon as she said half a sentence, she was pushed back by Black Manta Ray.

"Shut up!"

"What are you?" Batman's voice also rang in his ears at the right time:

"What is the meaning of your life? The only thing on your mind is revenge. You live only for revenge, and if you kill him you will have nothing. ”

"Enough, don't read it anymore!" The black manta ray's voice trembled, but he didn't realize it himself.

"Arthur the Aquaman has a life of his own. He has the meaning of life, and he has fought for the cause of his life. What about you? What do you have? All you can think about is killing. ”

"Bastard ......"

"What do you want to kill him with? With the Aquaman Trident? With bombs, with bullets? Pierce him in the heart with a blade? Or a slash in the throat, a quick slash, or a slow torture of him? ”

"What do you think is going to do to end him so that you feel a little satisfied!? Come, do it, I have brought him before you. ”

The black manta ray still didn't move, Chen Tao said slowly.

"Maybe I'm wrong. You won't be left with nothing after killing him. You will spend the rest of your life disappointed, and you will never get any satisfaction from Him. ”

"You blame Aquaman Arthur, you blame Stephen Shen, you blame Atlantis, you blame anyone but yourself."

"You're having a purposeless life, black manta ray. You never realize how fragile your position really is. ”

"Ahh!!!!h

The black manta ray suddenly let out a hysterical roar, and in a fit of rage, he threw the Aquaman Trident to the ground, screaming like a manic psychopath, tearing at his own head, to the point that he pulled his helmet off, revealing his face with three scars.

Finally, he half-crouched on the ground and covered his head.

Blackjack staggered over, she wanted to hug him, but she didn't dare, so she ended up just grabbing Black Manta Ray's shoulder.

The black manta ray suddenly stood up violently.

He pushed Black Jack away, raised his palm at Arthur, and poured a puddle of water directly on his head, dousing him to wake him up. Then the black manta ray pounced directly, and with the blessing of the strange power of the diving suit armor, he fought with him.

He even bit the nose of Arthur, the king of the sea.

You must know that without the blessing of the diving suit armor, he would not have been able to gnaw on the other party's body without superpowers, but he did just that, and the bleeding teeth did not stop.

Bang bang!

Arthur, who had just woken up, was crushed for a while, and he rode on his body, and the black manta ray rounded his fist, beating Arthur like a drum.

And Chen Tao just stood by and watched them fight: "You're awake, Arthur!" It's been a success, and we've managed to find the nest behind it, which is the black manta ray. ”

"Murderer!" The black manta ray roared, and he punched Arthur the Aquaman in the face with all his selflessness and with all his might.

"Ah, Arthur. You beat you first, and I'll tell you ......"

"Batman, you ......"

Chen Tao ignored their beating of each other.

Black manta rays are like this, or rather, most superheroes and their nemesis are like this.

He really wanted to kill Aquaman, but he didn't want to kill completely, he was in a state where he wanted to kill but didn't want to kill at all, and it was Schrödinger's desire to kill, he couldn't explain it, everyone who understood it understood, it was such a screwed state.

“…… Atlantis is now ...... I just tied you up to ...... This is the black manta ray...... The hairy man is heading towards Atlantis...... What? Oh, there's one more thing I haven't told you, there's the chemical waste monster...... What is he? Small problems, at most, poison in the sea, so that the whole of Atlantis will die......"

Arthur, the king of the sea, listened to this, and his eyes turned red.

He punched the black manta ray upside down and flew out: "My people!! ”

But then he was thrown to the ground by the black manta ray, and the two men went into a grappling on the ground, which was much more interesting than a boxing match like the Octagon.

But the helmetless manta ray will soon be no match for the Sea King, who is gradually relieving his breath.

Lacking the protection of his helmet, the Black Manta Ray's fragile body appeared directly within the Sea King's attack range, and he only needed to slam his head to make the Black Manta Ray dizzy, without worrying about the laser shooting from his helmet at close range as before.

He quickly pushed the manta ray to the ground and slammed it against the wall: "What did you do to my Atlantis?" ”

Seeing the anxious look of the Sea King, the black manta ray's face finally showed happiness, like a leaf falling in the air finally found the direction of flight.

Aquaman retrieved his trident, and he didn't care about theorizing with Batman about the other party forcibly taking him out of Atlantis: "Let the hairy man and the chemical waste stop, black manta ray, hurry." ”

But his anxiety and anger only paid for a more relaxed look on the part of the black manta ray.

"I can't do it." "They were provided to me by a guy called the Outsider and his organization, the Super Villain Secret Society, and they are not under my control. They also sent a guy named Atositas to supervise me, and that guy was a real magician. ”

"The order for those two monsters has been given, and everything is ready. Prepare for the destruction of Atlantis. ”

"You madman."

"That's right."

The black manta ray grabbed the tip of the Neptune trident and aimed it at its neck: "I did all this. Come on, do it! ”

"Do you think I wouldn't dare?!" Arthur stood on top of him, pinning him against the wall next to him with the tip of his trident.

"No!" Blackjack tried to pounce, but was pushed away by the black manta ray.

"Are you going to kill him? Aquaman? Chen Tao asked next to him, "I can make things look like accidents, such as killing all the witnesses or something." ”

Next to those who are scared to pee. Leader: Again?

"Kill me, Arthur Curry!" The black manta ray was also roaring: "Kill—"

"Ahh......h

Aquaman also roared angrily, but several of them roared for a long time, and Aquaman did not kill him in the end.

He finally fell silent, still holding his trident against the black manta ray's neck, and then slowly spoke.

"Your father is not innocent, manta ray. The gods know that neither are you. You are all treasure hunters and illegal mercenaries who kill people and cross goods at sea. But killing your father was the biggest sin I've ever committed. ”

"It's too late to repent." Black Manta said.

"I'm not repenting, actions will speak for themselves." Arthur, the Aquaman, said: "That incident revealed to me serious consequences, and it taught me to take responsibility and control myself. The boy who killed your father wasn't ready to be Aquaman, but not if he didn't carry that burden...... There won't be any Aquaman now! ”

The black manta ray narrowed its eyes: "You seem to be very proud." ”

"No, manta ray, calmly. That mistake made me grow up to be a water walker, but nothing would come of this endless wish. ”

"Nothing, is there a result? I'm about to destroy your dreams, bastard. I'm going to dash your conceited ambition to be the link between the two worlds. ”

"I will humiliate you in front of everyone, and then let you witness the destruction of Atlantis!"

The black manta ray's neck burst into veins: "Batman told me what I did to you, and you'll know what I did-"

"The Atlanteans who survived will blame you, and the landers will treat you like a tyrant who will always fear you."

"You're calm, aren't you? You're an idiot, and no one can get out of a grudge like ours! ”

"So now ......"

"Kill me!!!"

Aquaman Arthur lowered his face.

Half of his face is hidden in the shadows.

"If you really want to get your hands dirty. Seriously. Chen Tao said: "Please believe me, I have the ability to help you deal with the aftermath." The decision is yours, Arthur. ”

Only this time, Chen Tao thought so sincerely.

He didn't have the slightest idea of protecting the manta rays. Whatever the reason, everything he did to Atlantis was true.

Black Manta Ray definitely has a reason to die, and Chen Tao will not be surprised if Aquaman Arthur decides to end this entanglement for good.

"Kill me." "Our hatred can only be ended by the death of one side and the destruction of all that he represents," the black manta repeated. ”

"Kill me!"

"I refuse." Arthur of the Sea King said, "I will never make the same mistake again." I will never be a murderer. It's my choice. ”

He nodded apologetically at Batman, then turned to face Black Manta.

"I'm going to save my Atlantis now, save my people, and do what I've fought for all my life."

He said.

"And you only deserve to rot in prison."

He ripped open Black Manta's armor and then stunned him under Black Manta's cursed gaze.

"I respect your choice, and I'm prepared for the Atlantis problem." Chen Tao spoke, he shrugged his shoulders and walked to Arthur's side.

He fumbled around the black manta ray and found a golden ball.

"You should be familiar with this thing, Arthur, the Golden Orb, one of the Dead King's six-piece set, with the ability to teleport from a distance. I spotted it when I was spying on the manta rays, and it allowed us to get back to Atlantis quickly. ”

"And I prepared before I came looking for the manta rays," he said. ”
