- Global Reincarnation: Only I Know the Plot
- GROIKTP Chapter 416
Chen Ye wasn’t surprised at all that Batman knew his name.
He had read the original comics and was fully aware that Batman possessed the power of money!
In a capitalist society, money is practically omnipotent!
When faced with Batman’s invitation, Chen Ye smiled and nodded in agreement, “Sure!”
Of course, he had his own reasons for agreeing…
However, Batman was slightly taken aback by how readily Chen Ye accepted. But since he had already extended the invitation, Batman wouldn’t easily change his mind.
Staring at Chen Ye, Batman said meaningfully, “I hope you’ll be a reliable ally.”
He emphasized the word “reliable,” clearly implying that Chen Ye shouldn’t do anything reckless or illegal.
Chen Ye understood Batman’s message.
“Bruce, the enemies you’ll be facing soon might require my help to defeat,” Chen Ye remarked.
Hearing this cryptic statement, Batman paused for a moment and immediately asked, “Ronan, do you know something?”
Chen Ye nodded. “I only know that the upcoming enemy is from Apokolips, one of the New Gods. He’s coming to Earth for the Mother Boxes.”
“Mother Boxes?”
It was the first time Batman had heard of such a thing.
Chen Ye explained, “The Mother Boxes are powerful sources of energy. They’ve been split into three and scattered across Earth. If the enemy manages to collect all the Mother Boxes, Earth will be destroyed.”
Upon hearing this, Batman’s expression became gravely serious.
“Ronan, how do you know all this?”
“I have a short-term ability to foresee the future. When Earth is in danger, this ability activates.”
Chen Ye fabricated the story with a straight face.
Batman frowned, looking skeptical.
But Chen Ye didn’t care. Slowly, he began to rise into the air, preparing to leave.
Seeing this, Batman quickly asked, “Ronan, where are you going?”
“Before the disaster strikes, I have a few things to take care of.”
With that, Chen Ye used his telekinetic power to fly away.
As he watched Chen Ye’s figure disappear into the distance, Batman suddenly spoke, “Alfred, do you think this man’s words are credible?”
Through the earpiece, Alfred’s voice responded, “There might be some truth to his mention of the enemy, but as for the rest, I’m reserving judgment.”
Batman remained silent.
He trusted others even less than Alfred did.
“No matter what, the plan must be set in motion. Alfred, prepare the jet. I need to make a trip to the north.”
According to the information he had gathered, the man known as “Aquaman” often appeared around the northern Icelandic islands.
…
After parting ways with Batman, Chen Ye began preparing to complete his main mission.
However!
Before tackling the mission, Chen Ye wanted to visit the ocean to retrieve the Trident of Poseidon!
In the DC Universe, there was also a trident called “Bernadette,” a weapon imbued with divine power.
“Bernadette” was a trident forged by a god at the request of Poseidon, modeled after his own trident, and gifted to the underwater kingdom.
In other words, while Bernadette wasn’t the true Trident of Poseidon, it was still a semi-divine weapon, containing god-like powers!
It was a weapon of the same caliber as Wonder Woman’s Lasso of Truth, her Bracelets of Submission, and the Godkiller sword.
(Information sourced from the comic books)
This trident also had the ability to control the sea and command the seven underwater kingdoms.
Since Chen Ye had come to this world, he definitely wasn’t going to miss the chance to check out this trident!
The replica trident in his possession could absorb the power of the real trident!
If he absorbed the trident from this world, Chen Ye wouldn’t become a god, but the trident’s power would certainly be enhanced!
The current timeline was during the formation of the Justice League.
And the story of Aquaman acquiring the trident and reclaiming the throne occurred one year after Steppenwolf’s invasion had failed.
In other words, the trident was still hidden somewhere in the ocean.
“If I remember correctly, the *Aquaman* movie mentioned that the trident was located in the ‘Hidden Sea,’ an underground ocean at the center of the Earth. The entrance was near the territory of the Trench, close to Italy’s Cocytus region.”
Chen Ye’s memory became clearer.
All he had to do was recall the details, and he could remember everything!
“Alright, let’s head to Cocytus first.”
With that decision made, Chen Ye immediately set off for the ocean.
…
Half a day later…
Chen Ye arrived at Cocytus.
It was actually a beautiful island, with stunning scenery.
However, Chen Ye wasn’t interested in sightseeing. He immediately pulled out his trident and dove into the sea.
Under the control of the trident, the seawater parted, creating a clear path for Chen Ye to easily descend into the depths without getting wet.
However.
The Trench’s territory was hidden deep within the ocean, making it difficult to locate.
Chen Ye searched the entire surrounding area of Cocytus before finally discovering something.
This discovery wasn’t the Trench’s location.
Instead, it was the fact that his trident had begun to vibrate in a particular direction.
Immediately.
Chen Ye’s mind was filled with excitement.
“This vibration… could it be that my trident is sensing the presence of the other trident?”
With his eyes gleaming, Chen Ye smiled.
He then used his telekinesis to guide himself toward that direction.
The closer he got, the more intense the vibration of his trident became.
This only confirmed Chen Ye’s suspicions.
Moments later.
A monster appeared in front of him!
This creature had the body of a fish but the limbs of a human, resembling an amphibious animal.
It had a massive mouth filled with sharp teeth, resembling that of a great white shark—horrifying and menacing.
Upon seeing the creature, Chen Ye immediately recognized it as a member of the Trench from the *Aquaman* movie.
In the original storyline, the Trench had caused Aquaman quite a bit of trouble.
But to Chen Ye, they were nothing more than “small fish.”
With the trident in hand, Chen Ye was practically invincible in the ocean!
At that moment.
One of the Trench creatures seemed to notice Chen Ye and charged toward him.
Chen Ye, uninterested in fighting the creature, used the trident to control the water, easily knocking all the approaching Trench creatures aside.
He successfully made his way into the underground ocean known as the “Hidden Sea!”
