"I'm going after them, you have no objection, right?" Su Ming took off the Divine Gold Gauss from his back, loading the Divine Gold Bullet.
"No, just remember to tell me how it feels to use it." Fire God gestured above with his hand, indicating he was free to go: "And next time you come, preferably use magic or come underwater, flying over is too conspicuous. If Athena wants to wage war with you at my place, my losses would be huge."
"Don't worry, I'll just play a prank on your sister, won't kill her."
"Can you kill light? If you can't eliminate moonlight, then you can't kill her." Fire God seemed indifferent; battles between gods were too common. As long as both sides used weapons he forged, it was fair competition.
"You know, when I returned this time, the Justice League exploded the moon to welcome me." Su Ming rested the big gun on his shoulder, his cloak lifting him as he ascended slowly: "So, I can kill moonlight if I want."
With those words, he soared skyward, chasing in the direction the arrow came from.
Fire God grinned, scratched his head with thick fingers, the wind from Su Ming's flight making his forge emit sparks.
He was truly uncertain now whether Eris had seen through Deathstroke's intentions and said it on purpose.
The women of his family were all a bit crazy; turning from hate to love was quick. Could this mortal really become a god?
Sadly, his head wasn't too bright; he thought about it for a long time without any answers. In the end, he continued his forging work. After all, time would tell.
Su Ming now saw his target in the distant sky.
In DC Comics, Artemis is often portrayed as a slender woman with short hair. Her entire being radiates a soft glow like that of the moon, with antlers like a deer on her head, and her body is sleek.
But, she's merely moonlight; no details, just a silhouette.
However, as a goddess, she could also transform into a mortal shape—a very fashionable blonde beauty.
Before the world was rebooted by Flashpoint, there was also a little girl with the same name in the Young Justice League, using her real name as her codename; nobody noticed.
That girl was the daughter of 'Mother Tiger' and 'Sports Master,' sister to 'Cheshire Cat,' with the whole family being villains.
She initially wanted to be good, but fate played tricks on her; she experienced many misunderstandings in the Young Justice League, ultimately becoming the villain 'Tiger Girl.'
With some useless thoughts in mind, Su Ming had already arrived at a decent distance.
He slowly inhaled, filled his lungs with air, and then held his breath, lowering his heart rate, locking his gaze on the fleeing goddess ahead.
He removed the cloak, letting it form a platform, kneeling on one knee as he set the Gauss Rifle up.
No need for a scope; relying entirely on spatial awareness and brain-calculated shooting parameters was more reliable.
As if without aiming, he pulled the trigger directly—a golden electric light shot from the muzzle. Without feeling any recoil, he saw the goddess several kilometers away falter and fall into the sea.
"Indeed, Gauss Weapons live up to their reputation. The trajectory is completely straight—impressive."
The electromagnetic effect ionized the surrounding air, causing crackling sounds, and small electric lights flashed across Su Ming's armor.
Whether in power, range, or bullet speed, he was very satisfied.
He put away the rifle, returned it to his shoulder, as the cloak draped itself on him again, carrying him back to Washington.
At the distant sea, Artemis showed her small head, her silver-white antlers like coral protruding from the water.
She spat out a few mouthfuls of water, touched her right butt—she was shot there, like being slapped, both humiliating and painful, causing her to fall into the sea.
She weakly punched the water, sighed—did someone say this Otherworldly Deathstroke was mortal?
Whose mortal survives an arrow through the heart by the Goddess of Hunting unscathed?
Rising from the sea, she dejectedly returned to Olympus, intending to discuss with Athena.
Meanwhile, Hera watched everything from the Celestial Mirror, revealing a satisfied smile. Her plan wasn't guessed by anyone; everyone's thoughts were misguided.
This was the outcome she wanted.

Su Ming returned to the Hall of Justice, coincidently meeting with the Celestial Eye Association helicopter which came to pick up the Suicide Squad; Aman was indeed pressured by government high-ups to withdraw her people.
However, she would continue to think about the Totality, just covertly.
Could Su Ming let her succeed?
Of course not.
He took out a pair of blue gloves from his backpack, mysteriously handing them to Death Shooter.
"Take this to report; I got it from the Totality—it's the most valuable item inside. Tell Amanda our cooperation was delightful, and the mission is complete."
In reality, that junk was a creation of Conqueror Kang—a future high-tech tool from the 30th century Marvel universe.
With the DC technological trajectory, trying to decipher Marvel's future tech estimated to keep Amanda researching for a lifetime.
Kang's creations—so complex even a genius like Tony Stark couldn't understand them, let alone the Celestial Eye Association.
Sadly, it wasn't useful to Su Ming; controlling X Metal within himself provided various transformations. Better to mislead Amanda to make borrowing Suicide Squad easier in the future.
Su Ming demonstrated the gloves' usage to Death Shooter, who showed a puzzled face, not understanding at all.
But Death Shooter knew, things he didn't understand were usually good.
Death Shooter accepted the gloves; this way, he and others could gain reduced sentences and benefits; he was very grateful.
He fist-bumped Su Ming to express thanks, entering the helicopter—as for its value, leave it to Amanda's research.
He was going to visit his daughter.
Harley shuffled over unexpectedly, getting close to Su Ming's side, whispering in his ear.
"If there's a chance, come save me; I'll offer you benefits."
After she spoke, she smiled and raised her eyebrows, displaying a 'you know what I mean' expression, then turned to board the aircraft.
Harley's perks... probably prank cakes or a pile of fireworks... Su Ming understood perfectly.
However, considering there's Joker in the opposition's lineup, maybe extracting Harley from the Celestial Eye Association, combined with her knowledge of Joker and her unique thinking, might be a good strategy.
Su Ming suddenly had a thought—last time, he gave Laughing Bat's head to Joker, exchanging for the Jester's emblem.
But did that head truly die completely?
