Su Ming did not immediately explain, but first instructed Raven and Night Shadow to simultaneously use Shadow Magic to completely conceal the spaceship. Then, he ordered the Banshee to prepare a Magic Array, using her anti-prophecy magic for an extra layer of security.
"Everyone, we are talking about Diana, Earth's strongest female warrior, the Amazon Queen."
Su Ming held the hilt of the Great Sword. Once he saw everyone was ready, he signaled Steel Armor to start the ship, move away from Earth, and then slowly explain to everyone.
"The intelligence we have now is that Diana and Arthur went missing during the action, and thereafter, Batman once observed a mysterious coral reef in space through the 'Watchtower,' so I believe there's a connection between them."
During Earth's floods, Su Ming didn't think Batman would have the leisure to observe celestial phenomena.
That coral reef is either related to Luthor's Destruction Legion or to alien Sea Gods.
Since it's a coral reef, not some flying fortress or mysterious nebula, Su Ming is more inclined to suspect the Sea Race.
It's known that Sea King's and Diana's disappearance was due to teleportation, so they're likely there.
According to the Justice Hall's mainframe records, Sea King's current status is 'captured,' Diana's status is 'MIA,' missing in action.
This indicates that the alien's teleportation had complications, Arthur was successfully captured, but Diana, for various reasons, escaped during the teleportation.
Su Ming's intelligence is limited, but Diana's intelligence is even more limited.
Being the one who first went missing, she doesn't even know what's happening on Earth, only that during her and Arthur's action, they were ambushed by a Sea Monster, and she is holding an Atlantean's key of unknown purpose.
Judging from her character, she wouldn't abandon her comrades.
Su Ming is more inclined to believe that she saw their destination before escaping the teleportation and temporarily evaded.
Detour tactics are understandable and usable by Amazonians.
She's definitely planning to rescue Arthur.
Of course, the rescue plan requires transportation; Diana did not prepare space equipment in advance.
If she wants to operate in the cosmos, she must rely on a spaceship to breathe normally, whether it's a technological spaceship or a magical flying carpet; she needs a transport tool.
And these should be obtained from the enemy, which is a warrior's mindset.
Hence, Su Ming deduced from the clues that Arthur and Diana are actually on that coral reef, because it is observable from Earth, indicating its largeness.
The difference being Arthur was captured by aliens, while Diana broke free at the last moment and started playing hide and seek with aliens in the coral reef.
She is preparing to seize a transport tool and then leave with Arthur.
So now, Su Ming's spaceship has a load of 'marine quality,' with several layers of magical protection, aimed at discreetly heading to that cosmic reef to get Diana and Arthur out.
As for whether they'll encounter multiple Sea Gods, there's no need to worry; Zhen Hai's weaknesses have already been discovered by Su Ming, making him completely incapacitated.
Although other alien Sea Gods have not been seen yet, they also haven't sent forces to seek confrontation, suggesting they consider their combat power inferior to Zhen Hai's.
The alien fleet in near-Earth orbit has begun to gradually land on Earth; surely, someone needs to direct operations on Earth's frontline.
Megan informed him that there are three alien Sea Gods, initially preparing for the lowest number.
The current lineup, several Warlocks on our side, makes the quantity of enemy soldiers irrelevant.
As long as Su Ming contains Zhen Hai, Donna, Megan, and Black Alice, we'll definitely hold until Diana arrives to unite.
Nevertheless, careful planning is needed, going to work happily and returning home safely.
Rescuing Diana and Arthur, and then saving Fishman Barry, are critical moments of aid, even if they haven't yet sided with Deathstroke, they will greatly boost goodwill.
Whenever Batman takes out the 'Transcend' door handle for a duel with Luthor, Deathstroke will appear to 'destroy' both handles for 'world peace'...
This statement should receive the majority vote in the current Justice League.
"My deduction is based on Diana's character; she will certainly rescue Sea King. We'll search where Sea King is now, and we will surely find them."
Turning over many things in his mind, he still spoke with a relaxed expression of what he wanted others to know.
Su Ming naturally wouldn't tell them things they shouldn't know, omitting much of his reasoning process, concealing his own goals, only mentioning the inference about Diana's location.
Even Bo Bo had to admit, this reasoning was very reasonable.
Although not based entirely on fact-driven logical deduction, psychological profiling can be used as a clue.
Bo Bo determined Diana is there, the possibility is very high, because 'Amazonians won't abandon comrades' is enough to initiate action.
Steel Armor, as a scientist, relatively early recognized Deathstroke's statement.
"My armor integrates a radiation wavelength analysis system. By connecting it with the spaceship's external probe, we can lock onto the 'Divine Metal' energy frequency to find resonance points within a not-too-large area.
This method is somewhat like initially relying on metal to find Batman and Superman in the center of the Dark Multiverse; anyway, the scientific experiments Barry could do, Steel Armor can also accomplish, these are applications of physics.
Donna also agreed, saying that finding her sister at this time was the best thing that could happen.
As long as she didn't plan to continue being concerned with Deathstroke.
Diana would surely seek revenge on him, but given the current circumstances, now wasn't the right time, Diana should consider the bigger picture, shouldn't she?
"I've said all I needed to, isn't it clearer and easier to understand than Batman's orders? Don't thank me, go execute the order, target Blood Reef."
Su Ming leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes.
.....................
At this time on the Blood Reef.
Although large coral reefs grew wildly here, in reality, this was a sea created by the combined effort of three Sea Gods.
Like a cosmic bonsai floating in space, the center was all coral, the dwelling place of the gods, and surrounding it was a vast ocean.
Ordinary alien sea creatures used to live here.
And at this moment, a small boat was gliding over the ocean surface without any fish, the still sea like a mirror, reflecting the occupants of the boat clearly.
Currently, on the boat were a turtle, a lobster, and a fish.
The alien sea race had heads resembling marine creatures, though the name suggests similarity to Earth's creatures, they were nothing like the ones seen here before.
The turtle wore a sponge as a headscarf, one of his arms seemed damaged, replaced with a coral-carved arm:
"Ah, finally, we're about to have a home."
The Fish-Men on the boat gazed toward the distant Earth, though it appeared as just a bright star, it did not quell their longing.
Imprisoned for eons in the Tomb of the Gods, and then adrift in space, they desperately needed a planet to call their own.
"Yes, a planet with blue oceans, and the vile Poseidon is dead too."
The lobster picked up the turtle's words, his whiskers trembling, as if conveying laughter.
"He and Aryan betrayed us and have finally paid the price now," the more common fish-headed creature summarized, believing Earth's Sea God deserved his fate: "Some of the Earth Surface People, meanwhile, do keep their promises."
After the Destruction Legion helped them kill Poseidon, the Fish-Men believed they had formed an unbreakable alliance.
"Alright, row faster, the gods' starship is about to leave, and we must aboard our new home!"
The Turtle-Man patted the end of his broken arm, urging the other two to row faster.
At this moment, however, they seemed to spot something faint on the distant sea, appearing like another small boat approaching them swiftly.
Before they could take a good look, a discus flew over from afar, striking down the lobster and the fish, leaving only the retracting Turtle-Man.
Yet before he could shout for help, a figure seemingly flying leaped onto their boat from the approaching vessel.
The figure was an Earth female, who after catching a shield, secured it to her arm, drew a weapon from her waist, and snared the Turtle-Man.
A strand of golden rope coiled around his neck, allowing the Turtle-Man to comprehend the intent of the being opposite him.
"Where is Earth's Sea King, Arthur?!"
Diana stepped on the turtle's shell, tightening the Lasso of Truth around the neck, prepared to rescue Arthur.
Originally, after escaping the enemy transmission, she hid in this cosmic coral sea, waiting for Justice League's support.
Familiar with the gods, Diana, upon seeing those three figures from afar in the transmission passage, immediately sensed their power, three Sea Gods.
She was outnumbered, even with Arthur, they'd be two against three.
Thus, she opted to wait a little, confident of victory against the alien gods with Superman's aid.
But as time nearly half-day elapsed without Justice League's reinforcements arriving, she realized something had gone wrong.
With self-rescue as her only option, she needed to find Arthur and save him too.
Her escape from forced teleportation by the enemy cost her considerable strength, causing minor injuries.
Not everyone survives 'jumping' from space transmission, so given the circumstances, this was an excellent outcome.
Wandering in the enemy's ocean, she seized a small boat, finding its previous owner not robust, perishing with a slight impact.
Diana thus rowed the small boat, searching the vast ocean for other survivors, seeking more information.
