Of course, Su Ming also knew that power struggles are always like this, not something that can be resolved with a few words, but he had another idea, a less glorious idea.
The Hero is Zeus's illegitimate child, a demigod, the next generation inheritor of the Amazon, highly valued by the Amazons.
The Sea Queen is now the King of Atlantis, the inheritor of the Sea God Poseidon, with a mixed bloodline of undersea people and humans, holding the Trident representing Divine Authority, and her ruling position is very secure.
Both sides are fighting for the domination of Earth, wanting to choose a ruler through war, so Su Ming would give them one.
Actually, humans in the Middle Ages already knew what to do, it's just that these demigods are too arrogant.
..............
More than two hours later, Barry's wound had healed, and Su Ming and Briss once again took human-powered transportation back to Gotham.
From a distance, the chaos in Gotham City could be seen, with the most luxurious Bowers Hotel burning like a torch, with even the heavy rain unable to extinguish the fierce blaze, smoke mixing with the night sky reaching the heavens.
Briss stared at Su Ming, expressionless, was this the not-too-influential promise?
Su Ming shrugged, anyway, he wouldn't admit it, Cindy had said that she would make these appear as accidents, so an accidental fire was not too bad.
"Back to the Bat Cave..."
She exhaled a breath, feeling somewhat suffocated.
Barry glanced at Su Ming helplessly, meaning look at what mess you've made?
Su Ming turned his head and whistled, as if he knew nothing.
Back in the Bat Cave, the three found Alfred dressing Cindy's wound, her armor placed aside, wearing only a tank top and shorts, her eyes completely crimson, suppressing the madness brought by the Healing Factor.
"Ah, Miss, you're back, was everything smooth?"
Ah Fu turned his head to look at the three, maintaining a proper smile, but his hands didn't stop, continuing to suture wounds and apply ointment.
"Not bad, what's happening on your side?" Briss took off her helmet, sighed, surprisingly finding Cindy also injured.
Without waiting for Ah Fu to answer, Cindy spoke up herself: "Zero Claw, really hard to deal with, no tactical room, had to go for an injury swap in a time crunch."
Ah Fu added on the side: "Yes, that monster was well-equipped, skilled in martial arts, not only were its weapons able to break Miss Cindy's armor, but they were also poisoned."
Su Ming glanced at Briss, it turns out she arranged for Ah Fu to follow Cindy? It seems she was already prepared.
Zero Claw has been dealt with, and it seems the Gotham Owl Court is temporarily not a problem, at least the easy-to-discover ones are done, and soon Su Ming will give them a huge scapegoat so they can't cause trouble for life.
However, he was curious about weapons that could destroy Holy Statue Armor.
Obviously, Ah Fu also brought back the opponent's weapon, which was placed casually on the workbench, looking inconspicuous. The whole thing was cast from pale yellow metal, matte finished, with a small owl head engraved on the knife handle guard.
This metal was all too familiar; it turned out to be two daggers made of Promethium. He picked up one to replace the old ordinary dagger, leaving the other for Cindy.
"What do we do next?" Barry asked Su Ming, as whenever he had free time, he always looked for something to eat, which Ah Fu had already prepared.
"How's your geography?" Su Ming asked him this question while removing his helmet, lighting a cigarette and taking a hard drag.
Barry was confused and, after swallowing the meat pie in his mouth, scratched his head: "...Not bad? Actually, besides forensic science, I'm also good at sign language, web design, and gorilla language."
"As a member of the Justice League, you've been to Paradise Island and Poseidonis, right?" Su Ming asked again, by now Alfred had already placed a prepared ashtray beside him.
"Uh, not many times, but you know, partners always need to communicate often, and I just happen to communicate very quickly."
Barry showed his innocent smile, seemingly shy, as he unconsciously twirled the remaining half of a hamburger with his fingers.
Su Ming looked down at the transparent ashtray, discovering that it seemed to be natural crystal rather than glass, the decadence of capitalist tycoons, he unceremoniously tapped ash into it.
"What about Dinosaur Island? Didn't the current generation of Hawk Woman take you guys there? There's their outpost in the Main World."
"Well, comparatively, I think Dinosaur Island is much better than Chimpanzee Island, although the residents are all raiders at least the dinosaurs don't have mind control."
Barry apparently recalled some bad memories, frowning, as learning gorilla language was not something he had done voluntarily.
"Then it's settled, we'll kidnap the Hero and Sea Queen and throw them onto Dinosaur Island first." Su Ming spoke of his plan, though there were details requiring the help of others.
The Hero can fly, and the Sea Queen can swim; even if Dinosaur Island is shrouded by mysterious powers and cannot be explored, it couldn't hold them; methods are needed to disable their superpowers.
Technology and magic could both work, but doing scientific research is definitely too late, so only magic is more reliable.
There are many Mages in DC, but only villains exist in Earth -11, so who to look for, Su Ming had a rough idea; to strip a demigod of their Divine Power, someone knowledgeable in divine power is needed.
Witch Circe is a good candidate; she is the child of the first-generation Sun God Helius and the Sea God's daughter Perse. She has spent thousands of years opposing the Amazons.
She excels in various witchcraft and dark magic; she can easily turn people into animals like frogs; techniques like Petrification Technique and mind control are dangerous for ordinary people, as she had repeatedly stripped Wonder Woman of her divine power, even turning her into clay and killing her once.
But there's a problem, she's too strong, too strong to negotiate, and she loathes men immensely in the Main World, needless to say in this one. She's eternally immortal; destroying her body won't wipe her out.
Fortunately, Su Ming knew Circe's weaknesses.
Firstly, her witchcraft is ineffective against Demon Exorcism Spells from the Divine Race, meaning she cannot turn gods into small animals; secondly, she fears an herb called Moly, the so-called white-flowered black-rooted magic herb in Greek mythology, Hermes supposedly gave this plant to Odysseus to counteract Witch Circe's spell, this being her origin story and fundamental weakness.
Su Ming and the others just need to consume this herb, making them resistant to witchcraft for a considerable time. Although it sounds magical, it's quite ubiquitous for those in the know. Moly is scientifically known as snowdrop, a type of narcissus, originally from the Mediterranean, but in modern society, it's available in flower markets worldwide.
Gotham City is no exception, a pot may be worth a few dozen US dollars, but as a weapon, it's quite cheap.
