"You seem to have gotten rounder, Master Splinter."
After arranging the outlet in the Himalayan Mountains, Deathstroke returned to the sewers.
Using the Ark planet Sepulk as a conduit, he locked onto the coordinates with a Spider Totem pillar and opened a spatial passage. One end connected to this Earth, while the other linked to every oceanic planet in the Spectre Universe.
More than seventy planets—if each contributed just a little seawater, it would be enough to fill Earth-802. Brainiac 21 could lend a hand with the pumping; there were no technical difficulties involved.
After concealing the hidden outlet beneath the Yarlung Tsangpo River, Deathstroke returned and found the rat mage completely transformed.
He now looked plump and round, his tail reduced to barely anything, and he even looked a little cute.
"The Rat God changed the form of our entire race. To give us better aquatic adaptability, he turned us all into beavers." Seeing Deathstroke's strange expression, Master Splinter explained on his own.
He seemed somewhat nostalgic for his tail, his tiny eyes full of emotion, but this was the price they had to pay.
"They're both rodents, sure, but being able to do something like this still isn't scientific at all. This really is a comic book world." Gwen's eyes sharpened as though she had seen the truth. "Master, do you feel like gnawing down a tree now?"
As she spoke, she dug a piece of wood out of a nearby pile of trash and held it up to Master Splinter's mouth.
The round little rodent gave her a speechless look.
"Chomp, chomp, chomp."
A rapid series of sounds rang out, wood chips flying everywhere. In the blink of an eye, the block in Gwen's hand had become a toothpick.
"Looks like the attack power has increased too."
