Synopsis:
Deadman leaves Nanda Parbat and is sent by Rama Kushna to the ocean floor. He watches as the Ocean Master plants a device there. He then follows Ocean Master back to an alien ship. Orm has made a deal with the aliens who have agreed to eliminate Aquaman.

Deadman tries to possess Ocean Master, but his mind is blocked. Deadman breaks the barrier which unlocks the Ocean Master's memories. Orm then tries to warn Aquaman about the aliens before it is too late.

Deadman then returns to the alien ship where he learns that the alien device will work with three others to lower the mental strength of everyone on Earth. Deadman possesses one of the aliens, but he is discovered. They unleash a creature upon him which sends him to another dimensional plane of existence.
