Flowing Back into the Sea

Chapter 59 Flowing Back into the Sea

The disaster struck suddenly.

People heard a deafening roar in their sleep, a sound like the sky splitting open. The next moment, Gotham's floodgates cracked. Tons of water surged into the city like a raging torrent, the current crashing against buildings and roads with unparalleled force, creating massive waves that surged and churned like tsunamis.

"The subway entrance is flooded!"

That's from the subway control center.

"The pumping system isn't responding, and the pressure reducing system is also losing power! We need electricity!"

But the power company was powerless to do anything about it. The staff were frantic, but none of the machines were responding. Every screen in front of them was dominated by a domineering purplish-red display with a green question mark in the center.

"Chief, it's that madman called the Riddler!" someone shouted desperately. "He's hijacked all the machines, we can't do anything."

The priest in the church raised the cross to his chest, closed his eyes, and began to pray silently.

"God, forgive our sins."

"."

Batman used his grappling hook to fly onto a rooftop. He saw the floodwaters sweeping through the streets near the coast, washing away vehicles, stalls, and sidewalks, which from above looked like tiny leaves swirling in a whirlpool.

The building's windows were shattered by the floodwaters, which poured in like a monster. Streetlights, signs, and trees were uprooted, and the sounds of crashing and collapsing echoed throughout the building.

"Young Master? Young Master, are you still there!?"

Alfred's voice came through the headset.

Batman had just rescued two trapped civilians from an enclosed room using his grappling hook. He crouched on a dripping spout as a light rain began to fall, continuously pattering onto his cape and mask.

"It's my fault, Alfred."

He looked down at the floodwaters surging wildly into the city streets.

"I caught Nigma, but I couldn't stop him. I didn't expect him to go this far; I misjudged him. This shouldn't have happened."

What's going on?!

At this very moment, halfway through the call.

In an instant, a burst of incandescent light erupted. A pillar of light pierced the sky, and a red and silver giant suddenly appeared above the flood-ravaged coastline.

The intense light forced Batman to raise his arm to shield his face, his cape billowing in the raging wind.

When he looked closely, his pupils under the mask contracted slightly.

It is the being known as "Ultraman".

But now that things have come to this, what is he doing here?

Many people noticed the commotion. In fact, it was quite difficult to ignore a 50-meter-tall giant accompanied by a blindingly bright light appearing in the sky above the city.

However, the situation is urgent right now, and everyone is too busy taking care of themselves to stop and think.

The Batman figure on the drip spout squinted.

What is he going to do?

The next moment, the giant crossed his arms in front of his chest and clenched his fists.

In a daze, Batman seemed to see the entire sky flicker.

It was as if a bolt of lightning from nowhere had ripped across the sky, and the world seemed to tremble before the giant.

The giant raised his hand.

Facing the sea, towards the seawater that surged into the city like a stampede of ten thousand horses.

It was as if an irresistible order had been issued.

Batman's pupils contracted slightly.

He is not easily startled. No matter the time or situation, he can think calmly and always find a way out, even in the most unlikely circumstances.

But at this moment, even he had to admit that he was truly astonished.

Words he once thought he would never believe flashed through his mind.

miracle.

The raging, uncontrollable seawater, the devastating scene, came to a standstill.

The surging seawater abruptly stopped in mid-air, the water flowing turbulently and eerily in mid-air.

In short, it's a scene that defies physics, like Grandpa Niu suddenly lifting the lid and standing up.

The floodwaters were instantly cut in half, and only then did people gradually begin to clear their way to look in the direction of the breach.

Then everyone froze in place, their expressions gradually turning distorted as they saw the incomprehensible painting.

"God."

Some citizens unconsciously knelt down, looking up to feel the visual and spiritual impact brought by the earth-shaking camera footage.

Even the priest walked out of the church, staring blankly at the red and silver giant who had single-handedly stopped the flood.

Suddenly, the cross on my chest didn't seem so appealing anymore.

Ultra Barrier is a type of telekinetic skill derived from telekinesis.

In the Land of Light, the instructor of the Ultra Dojo, Jack, is particularly adept at this technique. He used it in his own episode, creating a barrier with his telekinesis to forcefully push back a tsunami that nearly flooded Tokyo.

Even before his rebirth, as a child, Shen You was awestruck when he saw this scene on television, thinking that Ultraman was incredibly powerful. After his rebirth, he learned the same technique after mastering telekinesis, but of course, he was still no match for his predecessor.

Although Jack is nicknamed "Bracelet Stand," his psychic abilities are actually among the best in the Land of Light. Moreover, even someone as strong as Jack was immediately short of energy after pushing back the tsunami, rendering him unable to fight and causing him to disappear on the spot. Shen You, of course, doesn't possess the same abilities as his predecessor.

Fortunately, Gotham is not Tokyo, and this small flood is not on the same scale as the tsunami that his predecessor faced. Jack's tsunami was an epic tsunami caused by the combined power of a tsunami monster and a tornado monster, which he pushed back single-handedly and swept away the two monsters in the process.

What Shen You was facing at this moment was nothing more than a crazy person who had nothing better to do and used a bomb to create a breach in the water barrier at a critical point.

Even with his half-baked Ultra Barrier, this level of skill is merely a drop in the ocean in the literal sense.

Shen You changed his hand gesture, raised both arms, and activated his telekinetic power again.

The next moment, countless eyes focused on this spot along the coastline saw an even more shocking scene.

The stagnant seawater, the endless waves, all vanished with a single, commanding swing of the giant's arm—

—Flowing back into the sea!

It was as if a great, higher-dimensional being had pressed the rewind button for this disaster.

The raging floodwaters suddenly reversed course. With a torrent a hundred times stronger than when they came, they surged back like a stampede of ten thousand horses, just as an army from the sea fled in disarray after encountering an invincible fortress.

The people at the scene were survivors. Soaked, they took to the streets, families embracing tightly, fathers holding their children, couples standing close together, all eyes fixed on the towering, enormous figure in mid-air.

Just like the ancient Israelites' awe when they witnessed the Red Sea being parted before Moses.

The gale subsided, the torrential rain receded, and the turbulent sea returned to tranquility.

The giant in mid-air lowered his hands, and his figure gradually became transparent until he completely disappeared.

It was like an epic dream.
