### Chapter 11: Hal: Bruce Wayne is Crazier Than Me!
"Hey! You black-hearted Death Eater, or whatever, anyway, take this!"
Just having put down Wonder Woman, Shazam flew over with lightning circling his hands, meeting Darkseid.
He possessed the power of Zeus, and the violent thunder could help him turn enemies into ashes.
But facing Darkseid's Omega Beams, the lightning released by Shazam was still powerlessly suppressed.
Hit by the Omega Beams, Shazam survived relying on the power of Zeus and the stamina of Atlas.
"We need a planned attack! We can't let Darkseid continue to fire that beam."
The current battle situation was very unfavorable for everyone. Batman knew they needed a more specific and effective battle plan.
"Then blind his eyes."
Hearing Batman's words, Wonder Woman responded instinctively.
Batman didn't refute Wonder Woman's suggestion.
As long as everyone could coordinate towards a goal during the battle, his purpose of speaking just now was achieved.
"I'll restrain his movements!"
Since there was a clear attack target, Superman breathed freezing breath at Darkseid.
The biting cold wind invaded, instantly freezing the surface of Darkseid's body, but mere ice couldn't hinder Darkseid's movements.
The frozen ice cracked instantly. The next moment, Darkseid broke through the hard ice, withstood Superman's breath, and punched Superman on the head.
Wonder Woman had just charged from the flank, but immediately a group of Parademons rushed up.
"Art is an explosion!"
Accompanying Ben's shout, scorching flames exploded instantly among the pile of Parademons. A pillar of fire soaring into the sky cleared the Parademons blocking Wonder Woman's way.
From the ruins, Shazam pushed away the huge rubble covering his body. He felt his head spinning.
Being beaten while trying to show off made him a little angry. Looking at Darkseid who was attacking Superman in front of him, he rushed up without hesitation.
Relying on Zeus's thunder to wrap lightning around his fists, the wisdom of Solomon told him that to maximize the power of Hercules, he needed to add the speed of Mercury.
"Hey! You dark thing! Eat my fist!"
Before the fist landed on Darkseid's face, Darkseid reached out and grabbed Shazam.
The power bestowed upon Shazam by the Greek gods was indeed impressive, but he was Darkseid, the Dark Lord, the ruler of Apokolips, the strongest New God!
Shazam used all his strength to release lightning trying to make Darkseid let go, but it didn't cause any damage to Darkseid.
Darkseid just waved his hand, and the lightning condensed by Shazam turned into an electric ball and flew towards the group.
At this time, Wonder Woman arrived in front of Darkseid. The silver bracelets forged by Hephaestus allowed her to block Shazam's lightning.
But just as she was about to stab her sword into Darkseid's eyes, Darkseid effortlessly threw Shazam out, knocking Wonder Woman flying.
"No big deal, I can catch you!"
Shazam, crawling up from the ground, planned to charge at Darkseid again, but was blocked by Wonder Woman. Reckless charging would only hinder the plan.
"Don't be impulsive like a child. You need to coordinate with your companions, not become an obstacle to them."
Hearing Wonder Woman's lecture, Shazam lowered his head and admitted his mistake like a child caught doing something wrong by a parent: "Yes, ma'am!"
"Good, then charge with me to victory!"
Seeing Shazam wasn't stubborn, Wonder Woman took out her sword and led everyone to launch an attack.
At the edge of the battlefield, Batman stopped Hal Jordan who planned to follow Wonder Woman's footsteps.
There was a mission that only the two of them could execute without attracting the enemy's attention.
"Move aside, Batman!"
Hal Jordan wasn't clear why Batman wanted to stop him. He wanted to let that Darkseid know the power of Green Lantern!
"What are you trying to prove?"
Seeing Hal Jordan's impulsive behavior, Batman asked back.
"I don't want to prove anything. Don't pretend like you know everything, you don't understand at all!"
Hal disliked Batman. The other party's actions of fighting crime in Gotham seemed like nothing but an amateur game to Hal.
He was no different from those rich nobles who liked hunting, maybe even worse.
"We are fighting alongside aliens, an Amazon, a magical being, a cyborg, and a speedster."
Batman could sense Hal's misunderstanding of him. To make Hal listen, some skills were needed.
"Excluding that kid who can transform into aliens, Hal, only you and I are ordinary people!"
Using the identity of ordinary humans to build a little rapport, while burying a foreshadowing in his words, making the other party change the topic according to his idea.
Hearing Batman say his name, Hal Jordan frowned, appearing a little unhappy.
"I remember I didn't tell you my name."
Regarding Hal Jordan's question, Batman pointed to Ben who was firing flames to attack Parademons in mid-air and answered: "But that kid keeps shouting it."
"Damn it, that kid recognized me. I thought he was an alien at first, turns out he can only transform into aliens."
Hearing Batman's response, Hal Jordan scratched his head. He didn't expect his identity to be exposed like this.
He was also a little curious why that boy knew his identity.
He initially thought the other party was an alien who had heard of his great name, but he was just a 15-year-old Earth boy.
If the situation wasn't urgent, he would definitely ask for clarification.
Putting aside the matter of Ben exposing his identity for now, Hal looked at Batman in front of him.
Although both were humans, as a working-class person, they were not in the same class.
"But then again, you're not a normal person either. Who knows how long you've lived to be that rich."
Facing Hal's questioning, Batman took off his cowl and briefly recounted his past.
"My name is Bruce Wayne. When I was ten, my parents were murdered in front of me, and I inherited the family assets."
"I've been training, spending my whole life fighting crime! But this time is different."
Hearing Batman's past, Hal scratched his head, not quite understanding the other party's thoughts.
"...What are you trying to say by telling me this now."
"The enemy's power is almost impossible to defeat head-on. We need to think outside the box and find a way to break the situation."
Putting away his cape and putting on clothes picked up from the ground, Batman explained his plan to Hal while disguising himself.
"We need to enter the enemy's hinterland and help Cyborg clear the obstacles connecting to the Mother Box."
Putting away the Green Lantern costume and revealing his original appearance, Hal looked at Bruce Wayne who had completed his disguise as an ordinary person in front of him and sighed.
"Bruce Wayne, you guy are crazier than me!"
