Chapter 560 Harvest, Follow-up
In the live stream, the audience frantically showered Andrew with gifts, and at the same time, messages appeared one after another:
"Wonder Woman's boyfriend, please continue live streaming next time. Even if we die, we want to die knowing what happened."
"That's right, we want to know the truth, what the Superheroes did, who was holding them back, and who our enemies really are. We don't want to be ignorant anymore."
"Wonder Woman's boyfriend, uh, can you change your name?"
This was the thought of most viewers. They strongly supported Andrew's live stream. Of course, some viewers opposed it, some thinking it would leak secrets, while others simply didn't want to live in fear.
No matter their thoughts, they couldn't stop Andrew from continuing the live stream, because the effect of this live stream was excellent.
Because they witnessed the Superheroes saving the world throughout the entire process, the public's trust and adoration for the Superheroes soared.
In addition, the American Military's foolishness made the public place all their hope in the Superheroes.
There was no other way; the American Military was completely untrustworthy. Their doing nothing was the best help for the public.
With both factors combined, the Superheroes' prestige rose like a rocket.
Furthermore, this live stream caused the entire world to fall into fear. The power of fear was boiling, more than ten times greater than the previous two times combined.
How could Andrew give up such a profitable endeavor?
"It's very simple to gain the public's trust: just show them in detail what the Superheroes have done. Every Super Hero of the Justice League is a true Super Hero, worthy of the public—uh, except Batman."
Andrew shook his head and began to calculate his gains from this time.
More than ten times the prestige and power of fear than before, as well as the manufacturing method for the Green Lantern ring, and Parallax, the embodiment of fear.
"Besides that, there's also the future Yellow Lantern Corps. Not bad, for the early stage."
Andrew stood up and said to Carol, "Miss Carol, I told you, you would be safe and sound."
"Although you didn't seem to do anything, I really am safe and sound."
Carol complained, then said, "Thank you for protecting me, Mr. Wang, and thank you for training Hal, helping him overcome his childhood trauma and become a true Super Hero."
"He has that potential. Hold onto him, don't let him be snatched away by others."
Andrew smiled and said, "Also, please tell him that the Green Lantern Corps might come looking for him again. When they do, try to get more information out of them to understand their situation.
Also, don't easily agree to anything the Green Lantern Corps asks. I always feel that the Green Lantern Corps is a bit off."
"Understood, I'll remind him."
Carol nodded. She wouldn't dare to neglect a reminder from Wonder Woman's boyfriend.
Then, Andrew took a helicopter back to Metropolis. Meanwhile, deep in the sea, in the City of Atlantis, a man was raging in the royal palace.
"Damnable humans, they're launching nuclear bombs into the sea again! Don't they know that every nuclear bomb causes immense pollution to the ocean?"
This man, dressed in silver armor with impeccably slicked-back hair, was King Orm of the Atlantis Kingdom, and also Arthur's half-brother.
Atlantis was once a glorious civilization on land. Later, their King conducted a forbidden experiment, causing the City to sink to the bottom of the sea.
Fortunately, that forbidden experiment caused the Atlanteans to evolve, or rather mutate, allowing them to live in the sea. Thus, they transformed from land dwellers into Undersea People.
After Atlantis sank into the sea, it split into seven kingdoms. Later, the Lost Kingdom and the Exiled Kingdom perished, and the Trench Kingdom's entire population degenerated into beasts.
Currently, only four kingdoms remain: Atlantis, Zebel Kingdom, Saltwater Kingdom, and the Fisherman Kingdom.
"King, humans have always been fond of self-destruction."
Beside King Orm, Vico, who closely resembled Green Goblin, said. He was King Orm's trusted confidant and strategist, and also Arthur's teacher. All of Arthur's skills were taught by him.
"They like destruction, but I don't want Atlantis to be buried with them."
King Orm snorted. He looked at Vico and asked, "Vico, I want to declare war on humanity. Will you support me?"
"Declare war on humanity?"
Vico was startled. On the surface, he respectfully bowed his head and said, "My King, I have always supported you. However, to declare war on humanity, at least four kingdoms must agree.
We only have four kingdoms left, which means everyone must agree. The problem is, the Saltwater Kingdom will definitely not agree, and the Fisherman Kingdom dislikes war; they only like art and poetry."
"Therefore, we need to unite with the Zebel Kingdom and send troops together to force the two other kingdoms to agree."
King Orm swam to the side and said, "Vico, help me arrange a meeting with King Nereus of the Zebel Kingdom. He is my future father-in-law, so he will definitely help me."
"Yes, King Orm."
Vico respectfully agreed, turned, and swam out of the palace to handle the matter.
However, in his heart, Vico was thinking about how to prevent this war.
King Orm watched Vico's retreating back, his eyes flashing. He actually always knew about Vico teaching Arthur, but he never exposed it.
"Arthur, I hate you, but if you don't come to the sea, I won't kill you. And Vico, if you don't betray me, I won't touch you either. Don't force me."
King Orm shook his head. He thought for a moment, then found a confidant and said, "Go and bribe human pirates to get a submarine. When King Nereus and I are discussing, have them attack us."
The confidant said, "King Orm, finding pirates isn't difficult. Land dwellers are very greedy; they'll do anything for money. The question is, can this be hidden from King Nereus?"
"It can't be hidden, but it's not a big problem, because King Nereus only needs an excuse. He, like me, wants to go to war with humanity."
King Orm looked outside and said, "These past years, humans have continuously dumped trash into the sea, polluted the ocean, and slaughtered marine life. We must teach them a lesson.
Let them know that this planet isn't theirs to control."
"Yes, King Orm."
The confidant respectfully withdrew. King Orm was full of ambition. He not only wanted to teach humanity a lesson but also to use this opportunity to unify Atlantis and become the supreme Ocean Lord.
...
In Gotham, Superman, while saving people, said to Kara, "Kara, you're too young, you shouldn't be here."
"Kal, don't forget, I'm your cousin."
Kara said discontentedly, "So many people are suffering, I can't just do nothing, can I?"
"Super hearing, for us, isn't necessarily a good thing."
Superman thought for a moment and said, "Kara, you and Martha move to Metropolis. I'll personally train you from now on, but you can't run out to be a Super Hero without my permission."
"No problem."
Kara's face lit up with joy. She was very satisfied and enjoyed being a Super Hero after saving so many people today.
...
Outer Space, Luozi Fort.
Sinestro got straight to the point and asked General Zod, "Thank you for saving me. What do you want me to do?"
General Zod also didn't waste words. He said, "It's simple, help me eliminate humanity and revive Kryptonian."
"Eliminate humanity?"
Sinestro thought for a moment and said, "General Zod, I have no grudge against Earthlings. My previous opposition to Earth was because I was controlled by Parallax.
However, if you can help me steal something from Oa, I solemnly promise you that when you attack Earth, the Yellow Lantern Corps will fully assist you."
General Zod asked, "Yellow Lantern Corps?"
"Yes, there's a lantern forge on Oa that can create Yellow Lantern rings. I need it."
Although Sinestro had regained his sanity, he knew that he could never go back. So, he chose to'start his own business'. He said, "General Zod, just a few of us can't help you much.
But an entire Yellow Lantern Corps, I believe, even Earth won't be able to stop us.
I will recruit well-known criminals from the universe to form the Yellow Lantern Corps. Their combat power will not disappoint you."
"Alright, I'll help you seize the Lantern Forge of Greed."
General Zod thought for a moment and said, "But before we eliminate Earth, the lantern forge must be kept with me."
"Alright."
Sinestro did not refuse. Even with the lantern forge, it still required the corresponding methods to create lantern rings, so there was no need to fear the Kryptonians burning their bridges after crossing.
At the same time, on Earth, Andrew used the altar to brand Parallax onto the ring formed by Ghost Rider.
Parallax struggled fiercely, but soon, it was subdued by Ghost Rider and chose to yield.
Ghost Rider said, "Sinestro has Parallax's power of fear on him. I can indirectly control Sinestro through this power of fear."
"Sinestro will definitely form the Yellow Lantern Corps. Use Sinestro and Parallax to tamper with all the Lantern rings."
Andrew said, "The Yellow Lantern Corps must be mine. Also, don't let Sinestro know about this, otherwise, it's easy to expose flaws."
"Don't worry, he won't know anything. He will become the most successful mole."
Ghost Rider smiled and began to tamper.
...
Humans naturally didn't know that Atlantis was preparing to wage war on them, nor did they know that the Yellow Lantern Corps and the Kryptonians had allied. Their current focus was still on the disaster caused by Parallax.
The day after the disaster, large protest marches appeared outside the White House, with their spearheaddirected at the military.
The President and the military quickly pushed all the blame onto General Lane, who was suspended indefinitely.
Then, the President sent a delegation to Coast City and Gotham to offer condolences and handle various post-war matters, such as statistics, reconstruction, and compensation, etc.
These were not small troubles, and given America's efficiency, it would take a long time to resolve all of them.
These trivial matters aside for now, half a month after the Parallax crisis, Batman called a meeting with four main topics: first, establishing the principle of Superheroes not killing.
Second, guarding against Ghost Rider. Third, whether to accept Green Lantern as a new member. Fourth, financial issues.
Andrew, as Wonder Woman's family member, sat in on this meeting.
Tony and Diana firmly opposed Batman's proposal of not killing. They agreed to kill less and kill cautiously, but not to absolutely not kill.
"Completely not killing will cause more harm to the public."
"This is a restriction on us."
Batman and Iron Man argued fiercely. Andrew stroked his chin. Was this the rhythm of a Justice League civil war?
Seeing Batman and Iron Man arguing too intensely, even resorting to personal attacks, Diana asked Andrew, "Andrew, what do you think?"
Everyone turned their heads. Although he was just a family member, most people were willing to listen to him.
Andrew smiled and said, "This is a democratic world. Let the public vote to decide the future principles of the Justice League. What do you all think?"
"Vote?"
Everyone was stunned. Tony was the first to say, "I agree. I believe the public will support me."
Batman frowned. He knew very well that the public would not support him; only villains and important figures would. The problem was, with such a big 'democracy' card being played, even Batman couldn't withstand it. He said, "The time is not ripe yet, let's discuss it later. Let's first discuss the second topic.
Ghost Rider is very powerful, but his methods are too cruel, and he might even cleanse the world. We must prepare to deal with him."
"I completely agree with that."
Tony nodded, a little gloating. I got a bloody nose in front of Ghost Rider, now it's your turn to suffer.
Andrew also agreed. He liked it when others overconfidently challenged him.
"Opposing the embodiment of God?"
Flash swallowed. He said, "Isn't that a bad idea? Will we not be able to go to heaven because of this?"
Batman said, "It's not opposition, it's precaution. Unless he wants to cleanse the world, we won't act against him."
"If that's the case, then I have no problem."
Flash said. Ultimately, everyone agreed to allocate a large sum of money to research how to guard against Ghost Rider.
Tony asked, "Next, should we accept Hal as a new member of the Justice League?"
According to the Justice League's rules, accepting new members requires everyone's agreement, as this is, after all, a Super Hero alliance.
Batman didn't say whether he agreed or disagreed. He brought up another matter: "Last night, my satellite detected a Green Lantern entering Earth and going to Coast City."
Not only Tony had satellites, Batman also had them, six of them. Aquaman secretly grumbled, a bunch of rich snobs.
"Hal reported this to me last night."
Andrew said, "The Green Lantern Corps sent someone to find him, asking how we defeated Parallax. Also, they want Hal to go to Oa for training to officially become a part of the Green Lantern Corps."
Batman asked, "How did Hal respond?"
"Hal didn't hide the matter of defeating Parallax from them, after all, the videos are everywhere."
Andrew said, "As for joining the Green Lantern Corps, he said he needed to think about it, and then he called me to report this matter."
Hal in this world has no strong feelings for the Green Lantern Corps, because it was the Justice League, not the Green Lantern Corps, that had been training him all along.
"He's one of us."
Everyone laughed. Andrew continued, "Also, Hal got a piece of intelligence from the Green Lantern.
A few days ago, Sinestro, that Alien who once visited our Earth, brought the Kryptonians to ambush Oa and stole the Lantern Forge of Greed.
This forge can create Yellow Lantern rings."
Thanks to Hongfu Duo and Neptune 10 for their generosity this week.
Chapter 561: Ci'en Port
"What?"
Everyone's expressions changed. Could the Yellow Lantern Ring crisis happen again?
Tony hurriedly asked, "Didn't the Green Lantern Corps do anything?"
"They are hunting Sinestro and the Kryptonians, but I don't have much hope for them. They can't even defeat Parallax."
Andrew shrugged and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, in the future, General Zod and the Yellow Lantern Corps will invade Earth together. Everyone needs to be prepared."
Everyone felt incredibly heavy-hearted. Neither of these opponents was simple. Could Earth really withstand them?
"I agree to Hal becoming a member of the Justice League."
Batman exhaled and said, "Additionally, I suggest Hal join the Green Lantern Corps. On one hand, to gather intelligence on the Green Lantern Corps.
On the other hand, to use the Green Lantern Corps' power to find Sinestro. We can't just wait for them to invade."
Andrew said, "I'll talk to Hal. He should agree."
The others also didn't object. From then on, Green Lantern Hal officially became a new member of the Justice League.
The last topic was financial issues.
"The Justice League's funds have always been handled by Batman and me. The military wanted to allocate funds, but we refused."
Tony said, "Although Batman and I are not short on money, it's easy for problems to arise if we are always the ones providing the funds.
Therefore, I suggest the Justice League create its own revenue streams, which means selling our merchandise and copyrights, for example, printing Wonder Woman's image on cups and so on.
However, let me state beforehand that all income belongs to the Justice League, to be used for saving the world, researching equipment, and handling various aftermath matters.
For example, compensating for the damages we cause."
"No problem."
All the Super Heroes nodded simultaneously. They became Super Heroes to help others and save the world, not to make money.
"I will discuss the specific details with Batman and then send them to your email. You can take a look when you have time. I will hire professionals to manage this department."
Tony said. Everyone shrugged, looking indifferent. It was clear they had no interest in this matter.
The meeting ended there. Batman and Iron Manexchanged glances and left together.
Diana asked Andrew, "Andrew, when do we continue our travels?"
"I'll go to Coast City first, then we'll continue our journey. Once the journey is over, we'll head straight to Themyscira."
Andrew knew what Diana meant and said with a smile, "A whole island of mothers-in-law, it feels like a lot of pressure."
"You, a dignified God of Creation, Angel, and Demon King, would be afraid of mothers-in-law?"
Diana rolled her eyes at Andrew. She looked towards Themyscira in the distance, her expression somewhat complex. Having been away from the island for decades, she wondered if the people on the island were still well.
Diana's return to Themyscira, besides wanting to fully confirm her relationship with Andrew, was also to use the island's power to investigate some matters, but that would be discussed later.
...
That afternoon, in a hall in Coast City, Andrew said to Hal, "Hal, congratulations on joining the Justice League.
This is the Justice League's dedicated watch communicator and some special devices. Remember to use this communicator to contact us in the future, to avoid being eavesdropped on.
Also, try not to take the watch off. Disaster can strike at any time."
"I really joined?"
Hal was overjoyed. He took the watch and other items, saying gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, I won't let you down."
"The key is not to let yourself down."
Andrew patted Hal's shoulder. Then, he relayed Batman's words to Hal: "Whether you want to join the Green Lantern Corps is up to you to decide. The Justice Leaguewill not force Super Heroes."
Hal asked in surprise, "So, you mean for me to be an undercover agent?"
"Not an undercover agent, more like a part-time job. Unless the Green Lantern Corps intends to harm our Earth, we won't do anything to them."
Andrew shook his head and said, "It's just as a precaution, plus to deal with Sinestro."
Hal thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll treat it as further training over there. I still have a lot of room for improvement."
Andrew said, "Very good. Remember, you are Earth's Green Lantern, not the Green Lantern Corps' Green Lantern."
"I understand. For me, protecting Earth and protecting Coast City are the most important things."
Hal nodded. In the comics, he once turned dark due to the destruction of Coast City. He has a very deep affection for this City.
The next day, Hal followed the Green Lantern to Oa, officially beginning his Green Lantern Corps career.
...
In a blink of an eye, more than two months passed. It was now October 2013.
Andrew and Diana's global journey was gradually coming to an end. After visiting a few more places, they would head to Themyscira.
Because Fiora was there, Andrew and Diana were not traveling in a fixed itinerary. If they wanted to go to the beach today, they would find a coastal City. If they wanted to go to the Desert today, they would go to the Desert to play.
In short, everything was as they wished, since they had Fiora, a Super plane.
On this day, the two arrived in Maine, America. Arthur Curry (Aquaman)'s hometown, Amnesty Bay, was in this state. Since they were there, they definitely had to visit his home.
Arthur and his father, Tom Curry, warmly received the two. Tom Curry was a very devoted man. After Queen Atlanna left, he had been waiting for her return.
To be honest, such men were almost extinct in America.
Tom laughed, "I was initially hesitant about Arthur joining the Justice League, but after meeting you two, I feel at ease."
"Don't worry, Arthur is a good kid. Besides being a bit rude, using too much foul language, not liking to shower, having a bad temper, being a bit poor, and a bit sloppy, he has no major flaws."
Andrew said in an old-fashioned tone, "He won't become a bad person."
"Are you praising me or insulting me?"
Arthur looked speechless. Andrew smiled, "Be confident, I'm insulting you."
Everyone burst into laughter. Arthur rolled his eyes and voluntarily poured drinks for everyone. Tom had a good alcohol tolerance and challenged Andrew and the others to a drinking contest, and naturally, he got drunk.
Andrew looked at Arthur, who was silently drinking, and asked, "Arthur, you seem to have something on your mind?"
"Not really."
Arthur shook his head and said, "A few days ago, a group of high-tech pirates robbed a submarine. I heard the soldiers' cries for help and rushed to save them.
Later, the submarine had problems and started leaking. The pirate leader, because he attacked me, was pinned down by something. His son begged me to save him.
But I didn't save him, because I believed they brought it upon themselves. Those pirates killed many soldiers.
Thinking about it afterwards, I felt a little regretful. It seems there's not much difference from personally killing the other party."
"It's a pity Tom didn't hear that. If he did, he would know that he raised a good son. Arthur, you are a true Super Hero."
Andrew smiled, "If it were me, none of those pirates would have survived. I always believe in eradicating evil.
Of course, you are not me. You are kinder than me, but kindness doesn't mean being a bleeding heart. People who are bleeding hearts actually have blood on their hands too.
Even Batman once intentionally didn't save his opponents. How did that saying go? Oh, right, 'I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you.'"
Arthur and Diana were both surprised: "Batman did that too?"
"Yes, Arthur, don't blame yourself. You didn't do anything wrong, though I think you should be a bit more ruthless."
Andrew said. Arthur laughed heartily, completely letting go of the matter. He said, "Come on, let's keep drinking."
"You drink slowly by yourself. I'll enjoy the night view."
Andrew walked to the window, looking at the moonlit ocean, his eyes flickering slightly. What Arthur just said was a plot from "Aquaman," but the timing was off.
The Aquaman storyline happens after "Justice League," still a few years away.
Andrew didn't know that all of this was because of that nuclear bomb, which enraged King Orm and caused him to start his plan early.
Just then, Andrew saw huge waves suddenly rise on the ocean and shouted, "Arthur, come here. It looks like a tsunami is coming."
"Tsunami? Mr. Wang, you must be mistaken. We don't have tsunamis here, and even if we did, it wouldn't be at this time."
Arthur staggered over. The next second, his drunkenness was instantly sobered: "fuck, how can there be such big waves?"
On the ocean, towering waves dozens of meters high rose, crashing towards the beach at an astonishing speed.
The ships at sea were unprepared and were pushed back by the giant waves, some even sinking directly into the sea.
Moments later, the ships that fortunately didn't sink crashed into solid reefs, shattering with a roar, sending fragments flying. Many sailors fell into the sea, their lives unknown.
That wasn't all. Then, the giant waves slammed fiercely towards the beach and the lighthouse, as if to smash everything.
"This isn't right. These waves are too big."
Arthur hurriedly picked up his Trident and controlled the incoming waves to split. The waves split into two from the middle, not impacting the lighthouse.
The lighthouse had Arthur, but other places did not. Many parts of Amnesty Bay were impacted by the giant waves. Ships, vehicles, and houses were successively destroyed.
Even more astonishingly, a large amount of garbage was washed onto the beach, turning the beach into a garbage dump.
"This is definitely problematic."
Arthur repeated again. Just then, Alice popped out and said, "BOSS, large-scale tsunamis are occurring simultaneously worldwide. Many coastal Cities have been destroyed."
"This is not a natural disaster. Someone is launching an attack."
Wonder Woman said with shock and anger, "Only the Undersea People of Atlantis can do something like this. They have declared war on the surface dwellers."
"The Undersea People declared war on the surface dwellers? That's impossible, right?"
Arthur asked in alarm. If this really happened, it would cause widespread devastation.
Wonder Woman stated with great certainty, "No one can do something like this except the Undersea People."
"Save people first, then talk about other things."
Andrew said. Wonder Woman and Arthur nodded, jumped out of the lighthouse, and went outside to save people.
Then, Andrew took out his communicator and called everyone in the Justice League: "Large-scale tsunamis are occurring simultaneously worldwide. Everyone quickly save people. Also, be careful. This matter may be related to the Atlantians."
Chapter 562 Plan
"Atlantis? Kara and I are already saving people.
This disaster is quite severe.
The Atlantis have gone too far."
Superman said.
The moment the tsunami occurred, he sensed something was wrong and brought Kara out to save people.
Flash, who was sleeping, changed into his suit in a second.
He asked in surprise, "Does Atlantis really exist?"
"Atlantis?
I'll make them pay."
Green Lantern Hal shouted, seething with rage.
Compared to other places, the tsunami in Coast City was more severe, perhaps because King Orm resented that nuclear bomb.
Additionally, Hal had just returned half a month ago.
Now, he is the Green Lantern responsible for Sector 2814 and frequently goes on business trips to Space.
"Save people first.
We can talk about other things later."
Iron Man shouted, "Andrew, send Fiora to Coast City.
The damage there is the greatest."
"Alright."
Andrew nodded and said to the sky, "Fiora, go to Coast City."
Fiora immediately flew towards Coast City.
Hal, while saving people, said gratefully, "Mr. Wang, thank you."
"You're welcome.
In any case, save people first."
Andrew put down the communicator and looked into the distance, seeing a woman with fiery red hair and wearing a green tight-fitting leather Armor walking out of the sea towards Arthur.
This woman, both in face and figure, was top-notch; she was indeed the future Queen Mera.
"Queen Mera, and there are also some people following behind."
Andrew thought for a moment, then went downstairs towards Arthur.
"Mera, did you do this?"
Arthur saw Mera and questioned loudly.
He knew Mera, but he didn't know that Mera was his brother King Orm's fiancée.
"To be precise, it was your brother King Orm who did it."
Mera said, "He and my father, King Nereus, were ambushed by land dwellers while discussing matters, so they jointly launched a great tsunami to retaliate against humanity.
Actually, they were still restrained, only sending garbage back to the land.
With Atlantis's technology, if fully activated, it would be enough to submerge the land."
Arthur said angrily, "So we should thank them for being merciful?"
Andrew walked over and, with the communicator on, asked, "Madam, why are you specifically looking for Arthur?"
Mera looked at Andrew warily.
Arthur said, "Mr. Wang is a person who is absolutely trustworthy.
Whatever nonsense you have, say it quickly."
"Absolutely trustworthy?"
Mera was a little surprised.
She said, "I want to stop Orm.
The ocean should not go to war with the land; it will only result in mutual destruction."
Arthur's expression softened slightly: "How do we stop him?"
Mera said, "You stop him.
You are the Queen's first son.
The throne should be yours.
As long as you replace Orm, the shadow of war will naturally disappear."
"Arthur is a Prince?"
Flash was dumbfounded.
Is there such a rude, unkempt Prince?
The Princes in novels are graceful and handsome, but the Prince in reality is covered in hair, uncouth, and doesn't even bathe.
"Is it shameful that I'm a Prince?"
Arthur rolled his eyes.
Then, he said, "Mera, I'm not a Prince, nor am I interested in being a Prince.
Your method won't work.
Tell us, where is that bastard brother of mine?
I'll take the Justice League to beat him up and make him give up the war and stay put in the sea."
Green Lantern gritted his teeth and said, "Beating him up isn't enough."
"Arthur, I know your friends are powerful, but that's underwater.
Your friends will be greatly suppressed.
You should be aware of this."
Mera shook her head.
She said, "Also, Orm is a King, and he has a large number of guards around him.
Atlantis's technology far surpasses that of Earth.
He's not that easy to deal with.
If you rashly bring people to attack Atlantis, it will only cause massive casualties, both among the Undersea People and the land dwellers.
Additionally, as I just said, Atlantis has the ability to create massive tsunamis and submerge the land."
The Justice League members were somewhat silent.
Arthur said unhappily, "My method isn't reliable, and yours is even less reliable.
The Undersea People don't even know me.
How could I possibly overthrow Orm?"
"Orm is a very arrogant person.
As long as you challenge him, he will definitely accept."
Mera said, "At that time, you can reclaim your throne in the arena.
Of course, your current strength is not enough.
Before the challenge, we need to…"
"It's that simple?"
Arthur excitedly interrupted Mera, "You should have said so earlier!
I'll go challenge him right away.
However, I don't need the throne.
After defeating him, I will demand that he cease all acts of war and compensate humanity for the damages."
"I told you, you are no match for him.
To defeat him, you must find the legendary Poseidons Trident."
Mera said, "Only by obtaining the Poseidons Trident can you defeat Orm and make all the people submit.
Otherwise, your prestige is far from enough."
"I said, I'm not interested in being King, and I can defeat Orm."
Arthur said, "After I'm done saving people, I'll go to the sea immediately.
Mr. Wang, Superman, Iron Man, you all come to support me, lest that bastard doesn't keep his word."
Mera was almost angered to death.
She said furiously, "Do you understand human speech?
I told you, you are no match for Orm.
Perhaps you can defeat him on land, but in the sea, you absolutely cannot, because he has been in the sea since he was a child.
This is not only my judgment but also Vico's judgment."
Arthur said, "Sorry, I haven't cleaned my ears in too long, I can't hear what you're saying."
Mera's chest heaved with anger.
How blind was she before to think this guy had the demeanor of a King?
He was just a savage.
The Justice League quickly discussed the matter.
A moment later, Batman's deep voice came through the communicator:
"All-out war is not advisable.
Currently, this lady's method seems to be the best, provided she is not lying, and Arthur can defeat King Orm."
Hal didn't object.
Although he was very angry, he also didn't want to rashly start a war.
"I can definitely beat him."
Arthur said with full confidence, "Also, don't listen to this woman's nonsense.
That Poseidons Trident is just a legend, like Odin's Eternal Spear, or Zeus's lightning."
Wonder Woman said, "Excuse me, Zeus is real, because I am the daughter of Zeus."
"..."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Is Wonder Woman's background that impressive?
Tony remained calm.
He had also met the son of Odin, so the daughter of Zeuswas nothing.
Flash, while quickly saving people, said, "God is also real.
According to that, Poseidons Trident should be real."
"Poseidons Trident is real."
Mera nodded with great certainty: "It is a divine weapon forged by blacksmiths from Poseidon steel before Atlantis sank, possessing the ability to command the ocean.
At the same time, it is also a symbol of the King.
If you defeat Orm with it, you can become the new King of Atlantis.
Arthur, this position was originally yours."
"Have you ever seen a King like me?"
Arthur said with a self-deprecating look.
His idea hadn't changed: go to the sea and single-handedly fight Orm to completely resolve this matter.
"When does a true King need to care about others' opinions?"
Tony sneered.
He used the communicator to ask, "Madam, where is the Poseidons Trident?
Is it easy to get?"
Mera was about to answer when Andrew asked, "Madam, did you come alone?"
"I came alone."
Mera answered halfway, then suddenly reacted and sharply turned her head to look at the sea.
The lurking figures in the sea, seeing that they were discovered, no longer hid and walked out of the water.
These lurking figures were a group of Atlantis soldiers wearing Armor.
The soldiers in front wore white Armor and held white energy guns.
The four soldiers behind wore red Armor and carried scimitars on their backs.
Only Undersea People nobles could breathe on land.
Other soldiers had to wear Armor filled with seawater.
Additionally, water is Atlantis's energy source; they have developed unlimited energy technology.
Mera asked, both shocked and angry, "You were following me?"
A white-armored soldier activated a device, and seawater floated up, condensing into a human figure, which was King Orm—this was the Undersea People's communication technology, equivalent to a holographic projection.
King Orm looked at Mera and said, "I sensed something was off with you, so I sent people to follow you, but I didn't expect my fiancée to betray me and even think I'm inferior to a bastard."
"Hey, watch your language."
Arthur shouted in dissatisfaction, but felt a bit bitter inside.
On one hand, he didn't expect his brother to view him that way; on the other hand, Mera was Orm's fiancée?
"Orm, it's not me who betrayed you, it's you who betrayed Queen Atlanna.
She hoped we would live peacefully with the land dwellers."
Mera shouted, "You instigated war for your own selfish reasons.
You are not fit to be King."
"I am for this world."
King Orm shouted, "Look at what humans have done!
Not only do they pollute the ocean every day, but they also occasionally drop nuclear bombs into the sea.
Do you know how many marine creatures die from one nuclear bomb?
Humans must be taught a lesson, to let them know that this planet is not theirs to command."
Andrew shook his head.
Every villain is so self-righteous, but unfortunately, a villain is a villain after all.
"That sounds really good, Orm, don't think I don't know you're just looking for an excuse to become the Ocean Lord."
Mera said, "I will stop you."
"You can't stop me."
King Orm snorted coldly.
He said to Arthur, "I don't want to kill you.
You stay on land."
"Orm, my brother, you must stop all of this."
Arthur said, "War is good for no one.
Don't be a bastard."
"I gave you a chance.
Since you don't value it, don't blame me."
King Orm turned around and ordered, "Bring them back to Atlantis.
I will defeat Arthur in the Ring of Fire and kill him with my own hands.
Then, everyone will know that I am the true King."
With that, King Orm's water image disappeared, and the soldiers raised their guns at Arthur and Mera: "King Ormcommands, please come back with us."
Chapter 563 God of War Helmet
"I will challenge him, but not as a captive. I will enter Atlantis with dignity."
Arthur struck first, forcefully throwing the Trident in his hand at the soldiers, who quickly dodged.
Arthur seized the opportunity to rush forward, grabbing the soldier in front and slamming him into the soldier behind. Bang! Both soldiers simultaneously fell onto the beach.
"This brute."
Mera cursed, controlling the seawater to overturn several soldiers. She understood Water Magic.
Andrew stepped back, quietly watching the show.
Seeing that the White Armor soldiers were no match for Arthur, four Red Armor soldiers drew the scimitars from their backs and advanced to attack Arthur.
The scimitars of the Red Armor soldiers glowed with energy, cutting through metal like mud. Even with Arthur's defense, he couldn't withstand them.
Arthur keenly sensed the danger of the scimitars and dodged repeatedly. A moment later, a Red Armor soldier seized an opportunity and kicked him hard in the chest, sending him flying and kicking up a lot of sand.
Arthur cursed, got up, picked up the Trident from beside him, and threw it forcefully at a Red Armor soldier.
The Red Armor soldier blocked Arthur's Trident with his scimitar. Then, he activated a mechanism on his scimitar, locking Arthur's Trident. Another Red Armor soldier seized the chance to rush forward, his scimitar flashing with a cold light as he continuously slashed at Arthur.
Arthur had no choice but to release the Trident and retreat. Before he could catch his breath, two scimitars simultaneously slashed from the side, as other Red Armorsoldiers launched their attacks.
Arthur could only dodge again. One-on-one, he feared no Red Armor soldier, but one-against-four, even he was at a disadvantage. Well, actually, he was in a sorry state.
These Red Armor soldiers were not only battle-hardened, but their Armor was also very powerful. They were the elite of Atlantis.
Seeing this, Mera wanted to go forward and help. Just then, blue beams of light whistled towards her. It was the White Armor soldiers getting up and attacking.
Mera quickly dodged. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, her shield firmly blocking the energy beams from the White Armor soldiers. It was Wonder Woman, who had rushed over.
Then, Wonder Woman charged into the White Armorsoldiers with a sudden lunge, and with a powerful slash of the Vulcan Sword, a White Armor soldier's chest was split open, and seawater poured out.
The White Armor soldier was shocked and quickly turned and jumped back into the sea—his head had to be submerged in seawater, or he would suffocate.
"Atlantis people."
Wonder Woman snorted, her Vulcan Sword quickly brandishing, continuously cutting through the White Armor soldiers' Armor and severing their weapons. The White Armor soldiers were defeated and fled back into the sea.
After dealing with the White Armor soldiers, Wonder Woman rushed over to help Arthur. Mera also raised her hands, and a large amount of seawater floated up, forming water arrows in the air.
"Go."
Mera shouted, and the water arrows whistled out in unison, piercing through the Armor of the four Red Armorsoldiers, causing a large amount of seawater to drain from their bodies.
The four Red Armor soldiers were shocked and quickly fled back into the sea.
"Their weakness is so obvious."
Arthur laughed heartily. Andrew said, "Diana, capture a prisoner to interrogate for information."
"Okay."
Diana threw her Shield of Power at a fleeing Red Armorsoldier. With a bang, the Red Armor soldier fell forward, unconscious on the spot.
Andrew said, "Iron Man, send an unmanned Armor to pick up the prisoner. Oh, and prepare a large water tank."
"No problem, leave it to me."
Tony nodded. He would make the Atlantis people spill all the information.
Arthur thought of something and quickly chased into the sea: "They can't take the warship away. I need a warship to go to Atlantis."
"Let them leave. Ms. Mera must have a ship."
Andrew said, "Also, I agree with Ms. Mera's judgment. You need to get Poseidons Trident to defeat your brother."
Arthur was a bit displeased. He said, "Mr. Wang, I admire Scientists like you, but you don't understand about fighting."
"I don't understand?"
Andrew laughed. If he wasn't unable to act, he could beat Arthur into submission with just one toe. He said, "Arthur, have you considered the consequences of failure?
If you fail, a terrible war will break out between the Undersea People and the land dwellers. At that time, how many people do you think will die?
Arthur, in this contest, you are only allowed to win, not lose. If you want to go, you can, as long as you tell me with your chest held high that you are 100% sure of victory."
Arthur gave an awkward smile and said, "In a fight, how can there be 100% certainty? Eating one less piece of meat in the morning can affect the outcome of a battle."
Everyone booed. Mera looked at Andrew with admiration. Even a savage could be tamed. This one is truly amazing.
Andrew said, "Go find Poseidons Trident. Once you find it, you'll 100% defeat Orm and save the world.
Arthur, a Super Hero cannot be willful, because a Super Hero carries the safety of the world on his shoulders."
"I can't argue with you. You call the shots."
Arthur rolled his eyes and turned to Mera: "Where is Poseidons Trident? I'll go get it."
"The key clues and items for Poseidons Trident are with your teacher. He is in Atlantis City."
Mera said with a headache, "Things are a bit troublesome. I am now a wanted criminal and cannot return to the city. The defenses of Atlantis City are very strict."
"So, after all that, we still have to go to Atlantis?"
Arthur grumbled. He said impatiently, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's set off quickly. As for the strict defenses, no problem. I'm best at sneaking in.
As long as I knock out everyone in the way, I can easily sneak in."
"Are you sure that's really sneaking in?"
Everyone complained. Andrew said, "Arthur, you can't go. With your personality, once you go, you'll most likely challenge Orm.
Ms. Mera, you, I, and Diana will go to Atlantis together to find clues."
Arthur was a bit displeased, but after thinking about it, he didn't object, because he knew he really would challenge Orm.
He was a rough man and only did things in a rough way, which was also why he didn't think he could be King.
"I've long heard of the famous Amazon Princess Diana."
Mera first nodded to Diana, then she tactfully said, "Sir, ordinary people cannot withstand the pressure of the deep sea."
Andrew smiled and said, "Who told you I'm an ordinary person? Don't worry, the pressure of the deep sea is a small matter to me."
Diana said, "He'll be fine. Even if his body isn't up to it, he can create the appropriate tools."
"Scientist?"
Mera was surprised, then she nodded and said, "Okay, then let's set off immediately. The sooner we find Arthur's teacher, the better. If we're late, things can change."
"Okay."
Andrew nodded. Before setting off, he quietly contacted Tony and Batman and said, "Arthur being King of the Sea is most beneficial to both land dwellers and Undersea People. I'm busy now, so you two figure out a way to persuade him.
However, don't use moral coercion. You are Super Heroes, not politicians."
"Strange things happen every day. Someone actually doesn't want to be King?"
Tony grumbled. Batman said, "Arthur is actually a bit insecure. I didn't understand why before, but now I do. He is half-human and half-Atlantis, and this identity makes him insecure.
I will find a way to persuade him. Atlantis is a big trouble, and there must be a trustworthy King."
"I'll leave it to you."
Andrew nodded, then he walked in front of Mera and scanned her with an instrument to confirm that she had no tracking device on her.
After confirming, Andrew, Diana, and Mera boarded a sea vessel that resembled a fish and entered the sea, heading to Atlantis City.
On the ship, Andrew asked, "Ms. Mera, would you mind telling us about the current situation in the deep sea?"
Mera hesitated for a moment and said, "There are currently four kingdoms in the deep sea… My father, King Nereus, has officially joined King Orm's faction. The Fisherman Kingdom and the Saltwater Kingdom have not joined.
King Orm and my father will definitely try to persuade these two kingdoms. Once they agree, the war between the deep sea and the land will officially break out.
We must find Poseidons Trident and overthrow Ormbefore then."
"According to you, the Fisherman Kingdom is weak-willed. Orm should try to control the King and force the Fisherman Kingdom to obey his orders."
Andrew said, "As for the Saltwater Kingdom, we can only go head-to-head and defeat them on the battlefield."
Mera exclaimed, "Control the King? Orm wouldn't dare, would he?"
"Why wouldn't he dare? He's a man who wants to become Lord of the Ocean."
Andrew said, "Given the weakness of the Fisherman Kingdom, once the King is controlled, they will definitely submit."
In fact, in the original plot, Orm directly killed the Fisherman King and forced the Fisherman Princess to serve him, but that was too unbelievable, so he didn't say it.
Remembering the weakness of the Fisherman Kingdom, Mera was speechless. Andrew said, "Mera, are you familiar with the Fisherman King?"
Mera said, "Not familiar, but I'm very familiar with the Fisherman Princess. We're like best friends."
"Try to contact the Fisherman Princess and tell her our assessment."
Andrew said, "This can delay Orm's unification of the deep sea."
"Okay."
Mera nodded. She looked at Andrew with admiration. No wonder Arthur trusted him so much. He truly was a wise man.
Diana glanced at Mera and sighed inwardly. Her own man being too excellent was also troublesome; people were always coveting him.
At this moment, the warship arrived at the bottom of the sea. Andrew and Diana switched to Dark Vision. They found that the seabed was very beautiful, with many things glowing with colorful lights, like a dream.
Even Diana was somewhat captivated. She said, "Our world tour missed a place: the deep sea."
Andrew said, "After this is over, we'll go on a trip to the deep sea. I believe the new King Arthur won't refuse us."
Diana said, "Arthur definitely won't refuse us, but the question is, can Arthur really be a good King of Atlantis?"
"I also have serious doubts about that, but Queen Atlanna, and Vico, both firmly believe Arthur can be a good King."
Mera said, "The Queen said that Arthur is the bridge connecting the land and the deep sea."
Andrew said, "Arthur's situation is actually very easy to solve: he can be a figurehead and let talented people manage the country."
Diana asked, "Constitutional monarchy?"
Mera's eyes flashed at the mention of this. She was an ambitious woman and didn't think she was inferior to others. If such a system were truly implemented, perhaps she would have a chance to take charge of the undersea kingdom.
...
Atlantis City, Royal Palace.
King Orm floated in the sea, looking a bit grim: he had received a report from the front line that the capture team had failed.
"Amazons? When the land dwellers are dealt with, it will be your turn."
King Orm snorted and asked Vico, who was beside him, "Vico, my advisor, what do you think we should do next?"
"King Orm, the legend of Poseidons Trident is true. We must capture Arthur and Mera and force them to hand over the clues to Poseidons Trident."
Vico said, "There have always been a few people who have criticized your throne. If you can obtain Poseidons Trident, no one will ever question you again."
"Vico, you are absolutely right. Poseidons Trident is the symbol of the King. It must, and can only, belong to me. I will send heavy troops to capture Arthur and Mera."
King Orm smiled and said, "Of course, other important matters cannot be neglected.
Vico, you go gather the troops. Tomorrow, we will lead a large army to conquer the Fisherman Kingdom and force them to join my faction."
"Yes, King Orm."
Vico, fearing Orm would see through him, did not object and bowed out to gather the army outside.
After Vico left, King Orm snorted. Mera was not a scholar and didn't have such profound knowledge. If he wasn't mistaken, the clues to Poseidons Trident were conveyed to her by Vico.
Vico was the most knowledgeable person in Atlantis.
"Vico, you still betrayed me after all."
King Orm was somewhat resentful. He thought for a moment, then called in his trusted subordinate, General Murk, and instructed, "Two things. First, contact that pirate from before and have him lead our elite team to pursue Arthur and Mera.
We are not familiar with the land, so we need someone to guide us."
"No problem, I will contact Black Manta."
General Murk nodded. Black Manta was a Black pirate. Before, he and Orm acted, using a submarine to attack King Nereus.
In addition, Black Manta and Arthur had a deep blood feud. The pirate leader Arthur ignored was his father.
"Give him the latest equipment. This pirate can be used."
King Orm continued, "Second, send people to monitor Vico twenty-four hours a day. If there is any unusual movement, report to me immediately."
General Murk dared not ask further and nodded, "Yes, King Orm!"
After dealing with these two matters, King Orm returned to his bedroom. Then, he pulled a mechanism, opening the door to a secret room.
King Orm's secret room was very simple, with only a table, on which lay a dilapidated helmet.
This helmet was very old, but its origin was extraordinary: it was the helmet of Ares, the God of War.
That's right, Ares's helmet. The Ares of this world was not simple at all. He single-handedly annihilated the entire Zeus pantheon, and even Zeus died at his hands, making him the ultimate unfilial son.
During World War I, Ares was defeated by Diana and was blasted by lightning reflected by her Bracelets of Submission.
But Ares did not die completely. He still had a part of his divinity hidden in his helmet. What was worse, he was the God of War; as long as there was war, he could gradually recover.
Unfortunately, there will always be wars on Earth. Therefore, Ares's divinity gradually recovered, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would be resurrected in a few decades.
Chapter 564 Teleportation
"What about Poseidons Trident? Can it compare to my Ares' Helmet?"
King Orm scoffed. Although Poseidons Trident was also a divine artifact, it was crafted by human blacksmiths and wasn't too powerful. The Ares' Helmet, however, possessed the divinity of Ares, the God of War, and wearing it granted Orm Ares's might.
What? How did King Orm get the Ares' Helmet?
He picked it up while hunting; fate truly is that miraculous. Even more miraculously, King Orm gained the Ares' Helmet's recognition because he possessed the ability to ignite a world war.
King Orm placed his hand on the Ares' Helmet, and it quickly transformed into a silver helmet indistinguishable from the one he usually wore.
Then, King Orm placed the helmet on his head. A surging power of thunder erupted from the helmet, rapidly spreading throughout his entire body.
"Neither Arthur nor the Amazons can stop me from becoming the Lord of the Ocean, nor can they stop me from annihilating all nations on land," King Orm shouted with immense confidence, his eyes blazing with dazzling lightning. He was destined to become the Lord of the Ocean.
… …
Atlantis City is divided into two parts: the original old City, which was the City on land, and the newly built City, whose buildings and ground are completely different, filled with an oceanic style.
At the entrance of Atlantis, there is a huge City wall. Outside the City wall are two stone giants and a straight bridge.
"Why build such a bridge in the sea?"
Diana was a bit puzzled. It was her first time in Atlantis, and everything seemed new to her. For example, the Undersea People riding sharks and seahorses outside the seaboats—Atlantis people have a tradition of enslaving marine creatures as mounts.
Among them, the Atlantis Kingdom prefers to use sharks, the Zebel Kingdom prefers to use seahorses, and the Salty Water Kingdom prefers to use giant crabs. Additionally, the shapes of their warships are generally similar to marine creatures.
"This was left over from before, Mr. Wang. How do we get in? They will check IDs at the entrance, and I am currently a wanted criminal," Mera said. "Also, there are many high-pressure water cannons above the City wall. Forcibly rushing in would be very unwise, and we shouldn't make a big fuss this time."
"Are there mages guarding the City wall?" Andrew asked. Besides finding Vico, he also wanted to obtain Atlantis's unique technology this time.
As everyone knows, Andrew, this Demon King, loves all kinds of technology the most.
"No, mages are very rare in the sea. Only the Royal Palace has mages guarding it," Mera shook her head. "This is also why I opposed Arthur's plan before. The sea is different from your land."
"That makes it easy then, Diana." Andrew smiled and said to Diana. Diana nodded and cast an illusion spell, concealing the entire ship.
Diana said, "Princess Mera, let's go. Don't go too fast, or it might cause a stir."
"I didn't expect Princess Diana, you also know magic?" Mera was a little surprised. She nodded and started the warship, slowly submerging into Atlantis from above.
After successfully entering the City, Mera controlled the warship to the sunken ship area of the old City. Andrewlightly tapped his finger, and a cluster of nanobots detached from the warship, forming a sea snake outside, quickly submerging towards the main City of Atlantis.
"Alice, find Atlantis's database and copy all the technology inside," Andrew commanded with his consciousness. "Especially the infinite energy technology."
Alice replied, "Yes, BOSS."
Soon, Mera reached the sunken ship area. She said, "I contacted Vico earlier. He should be waiting for us in the ruins."
Andrew looked at the large broken ship ahead and complained, "He is indeed waiting for us. Besides him, there is also a group of Atlantis soldiers waiting for us around. Do you Atlantis people not bother to put points into reconnaissance skills?"
Mera was stunned and hastily tried to stop the warship: "What? An ambush?"
Andrew patted Mera's hand and said, "Don't stop, keep going. It's not a big problem."
Diana asked, puzzled, "Andrew, knowing there's an ambush, why do we still go forward? Although I'm not afraid of enemies, I'm worried I won't be able to protect you. Also, that Vico might have betrayed us."
"Vico cannot betray us," Mera said loudly. "He is the most outstanding warrior and strategist in the sea. He is loyal to Queen Atlanna, and Arthur was personally taught by him."
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. In a moment, we'll let the Undersea People see what high technology is," Andrew said with a smile. His smile carried immense infectiousness, and Mera subconsciously continued to drive forward.
Of course, this was also for Vico. It was clear that King Orm had discovered Vico's betrayal. If they left like this, Vico would definitely be captured by King Orm.
No one knew how King Orm would treat Vico.
Soon, the spaceship stopped next to the broken ship. Then, the three disembarked. Andrew and Diana both had protective shields made of nanobots around them, unaffected by the pressure of the seawater.
Mera was completely relieved at the sight and led the two to swim into the broken ship. Vico was already waiting there, and he was very surprised to see two strangers.
Vico immediately pulled Mera aside and whispered, "Mera, why did you bring strangers? You are too careless."
Atlantis people can speak underwater; this is their racial talent.
Mera said, "Don't worry, they are not bad people. Arthurtrusts them one hundred percent."
"That's still not acceptable. You should have asked for my permission first," Vico said. "What we are doing is very important, and we must be extremely careful. For example, to come here, I specifically left a puppet in the military camp and made many disguises."
Mera couldn't help but laugh. It was the first time she found Vico's serious face so amusing. Andrew and Dianaalso chuckled.
Vico looked puzzled. He asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Andrew said, "No more nonsense, Mr. Vico. Do you have the key item for Poseidons Trident on you?"
"Why do you ask that?" Vico asked cautiously. Andrewsaid, "If you do, we leave immediately. If not, we deal with the ambushing Atlantis soldiers first, then go into the Cityto get the key item."
"What? An ambush?" Vico was bewildered. He shouted, "That's impossible! I was very careful when I came."
Before Vico finished speaking, a group of red-armored warriors surrounded the broken ship. The leading warrior shouted, "Vico, you actually betrayed King Orm! Fortunately, King Orm is wise and detected that you had a problem. Surrender quickly and return to the Royal Palace with us to see King Orm."
Vico's old face turned red. He now knew why Mera and the others were laughing. His reputation was completely ruined. He now really wanted to kill everyone, then commit suicide.
Andrew took out a disc and threw it on the ground, saying, "Vico, answer my previous question."
Vico quickly nodded: "It's on me."
"That's good then." Andrew activated the disc, and it glowed brightly, enveloping the four of them.
"Attack!" The leading red-armored warrior saw this and immediately led his men to charge, but it was too late.
As the light dissipated, Vico and the other three, along with the disc, simultaneously vanished.
Of course, the nanobot-formed sea snake was still in Atlantis. It would help Andrew obtain all the technology he wanted.
… …
At Mercy Reef, Arthur's home, Andrew and the other three appeared simultaneously in a flash of white light.
Vico and the other two, experiencing teleportation for the first time, felt a bit dizzy. Diana asked Andrew in surprise, "Long-distance teleportation?"
"Yes, it was recently developed, but it has quite a few limitations. For example, you need to set up the teleportation location in advance. Only then can you teleport back," Andrew said. "Also, it costs ten million US dollars to activate once. Speaking of which, this product is quite a failure and still needs further improvement."
"This is called a failure?" Everyone complained. If this technology were released, those countries would be fighting over it.
Andrew shrugged. For him, who was used to spatial magic, this product was indeed quite a failure.
"Alright, Mr. Vico, Arthur is nearby. You and Ms. Mera go find him and get Poseidons Trident as soon as possible," Andrew said. "Then, let's end all of this completely."
"Alright, thank you for your help, Mr. Wang." Vico nodded and went with Mera to find Arthur, preparing to embark on their quest for the Trident.
Diana looked out the window and said, "I didn't expect to be back so soon. It's not even dawn yet. Too bad, no time to enjoy the sunrise."
"You are a Super Hero, so of course, your priority is saving people," Andrew said with a smile. "Missing one sunrise is nothing, because we will watch countless sunrises together in the future, until you get tired of it. After all, we are both immortal."
"You can also be immortal?" Diana was very surprised. Andrew hadn't told her about this before.
Andrew smiled and said, "Not happy? Do you want me to die so you can get a new one?"
"Yes, a new Andrew." Diana was very happy. She kissed Andrew on the cheek and went to other places to save people. This was the best news she had heard today.
The scope of this tsunami was too vast. Although the Superheroes had worked all night, there were still many places that needed their rescue.
Don't count on the official. The official of most countries are pitifully inefficient, and even the most basic aid hasn't arrived.
On the other side, after Vico found Arthur, he took out a cylindrical device and said, "This thing can lead us to Poseidons Trident."
"After we finish saving people, we'll go immediately, old man. It's good to see you," Arthur said. "With your vigilance, as soon as you saw Mera in trouble, you must have fled immediately, which is why you were able to return in such a short time, right? Old man, you are truly cautious."
Vico's face darkened a bit. Are you mocking me? You must be mocking me, right?
Mera couldn't help but laugh. She said, "Arthur, don't underestimate King Orm. He is more terrifying than I imagined. He will definitely send people to stop us."
Chapter 565 Search
"In the sea, we can't do anything to King Orm, but on land, he's really nothing."
Arthur said proudly, "I have plenty of friends. Flash, are you free? Come treasure hunting with us tomorrow."
Flash excitedly said, "Treasure hunting? I like it, count me in."
"I'll take a few days off. Just call me if anything comes up. The matter of Atlantis must be resolved as soon as possible. We absolutely cannot have another tsunami like this."
Superman said, "I guess someone's going to dock my pay again."
Arthur was surprised, "Isn't your boss Mr. Wang? He docks your pay?"
"Not only does he dock my pay, he often docks my travel allowance too."
Superman complained, no wonder he was so generous when he joined, turns out he never intended to give it.
"Capitalist."
Everyone complained. Seeing Arthur chatting so happily with his companions, Vico couldn't help but show a relieved smile.
The old Arthur was a bit reclusive, but now he has clearly changed because he has friends.
Vico smiled, "With so many good friends, it seems this treasure hunt will go very smoothly."
Arthur arrogantly said, "Of course. Land is my territory. Vico, you go rest first. I'll set off as soon as possible."
"Alright."
Vico nodded. Just then, Arthur's father, Tom Curry, rushed over. He recognized Vico and excitedly asked about Queen Atlanna's life and Death.
Vico looked at Tom with a complicated expression and said, "The Queen is indeed dead. She was sacrificed to the Trench by the former King.
The Trench were originally Atlanteans, but later, they degenerated into beasts."
"No, it can't be. She will definitely come back. She promised me she would come back."
Tom couldn't accept the answer and shouted excitedly. Waiting for Queen Atlanna to return was the biggest pillar of his life.
Andrew looked at this scene and didn't give the answer beforehand, because it was meaningless. No matter what others said, Tom would continue to wait until Death.
The next day, news all over the world reported on the tsunami. So much trash washed ashore clearly wasn't a natural disaster, and everyone was guessing what exactly happened.
An Asian doctor named Shen appeared on TV explaining that all of this was done by Atlanteans, but unfortunately, no one believed him.
Of course, this refers to ordinary people. The military actually knew some things about Atlanteans.
"Iron Man, your Justice League seems to know a lot of information related to Atlantis?"
General Calvin said to Tony, "Now the whole world is facing a threat, and I hope you will share the information you know with us."
"We will handle this matter. Just don't hold us back."
Tony said, "If all goes well, this matter can be resolved within a few days. At that time, I will give you a detailed report."
General Calvin was a bit annoyed. Although we often hold you back, if you say it directly like that, don't we need to save face?
General Calvin said, "Iron Man, if anything happens to you, the whole world will be in danger."
"We are not as unreliable as you. If you want to know the detailed situation of Atlantis, just watch the live broadcast yourselves then. Remember to install Kuaidou in advance."
Tony shrugged and hung up the phone. General Calvincouldn't help but curse, "This guy, so arrogant." As for Kuaidou, well, he installed it last time.
Now even the President has a special phone with Kuaidou installed.
Leaving these aside for now, after rescuing the people, Arthur, Mera, Vico, and Flash went to the Sahara Desertto search for Poseidons Trident.
Because Flash was there, everyone reached their destination in an instant.
Flash complained, "I still don't understand why we're looking for Poseidons Trident in the Desert?"
"Because this wasn't a Desert before."
Vico said. Finally, they found clues in the Sahara Desertand headed to Sicily, Italy, where the next clue was located.
"I know Sicily, there's a beautiful legend there."
Andrew, with great interest, took Diana to visit and watch the show.
Diana had obviously seen that classic movie too, and with killing intent in her eyes, she asked, "You men all like them big, don't you?"
Andrew said discontentedly, "Am I that kind of shallow man? No matter the size, I want them all."
Diana indicated that she really wanted to hit someone. She rolled her eyes and, with Andrew, visited this beautiful and peaceful island under the sun.
Not long after, Mera, who had gone to find clues, rushed over with Arthur and the others.
Andrew asked, "What happened?"
"The Fisherman Princess just sent me a message."
Mera said with a solemn expression, "Yesterday at noon, the Fisherman King was imprisoned by King Orm, and the Fisherman Kingdom officially joined King Orm's camp.
After that, the armies of the three kingdoms set off for the Saltwater Kingdom. Calculating the time, they should be arriving soon.
Once the Saltwater Kingdom is defeated, Orm will become the Ocean Lord, and at that time, he will immediately launch a war against the land."
Diana asked in surprise, "How could this be? Didn't Andrew tell you to warn the Fisherman Princess?"
"I warned her, and the Fisherman Princess also told her father."
Mera said, "Her father was half-believing and half-doubting. He met King Orm with a large group of guards, thinking that nothing would happen in the palace, especially with preparations made.
Who knew that King Orm was extraordinarily powerful? He single-handedly killed hundreds of guards, captured the Fisherman King, and forced him to surrender."
"That's impossible. Orm isn't that strong. He's only a little stronger than Arthur."
Vico said. Mera rushed to find Andrew as soon as she received the message, so he wasn't clear about the specific situation.
Arthur blinked. Why did he feel like this old man was humiliating him?
"The Fisherman Princess didn't say much about the specific situation. She was being watched closely and only just found an opportunity to send me a message."
Mera said, "But what she said is absolutely true. King Orm's strength has suddenly increased for some unknown reason, and our plan might be affected."
"If Orm cannot be defeated head-on, the people will not recognize Arthur."
Vico nodded and said, "Orm has extremely high prestige in Atlantis. Poseidons Trident alone is not enough."
"Let's get Poseidons Trident first."
Andrew said, "Maybe there will be a pleasant surprise."
"That's true, Poseidons Trident might be able to enhance the King's strength."
Andrew was talking about the Queen and the monster Karasen, but Mera and Vico misunderstood. Mera said, "We have already found the exact location of Poseidons Trident…"
Just then, two huge red lights whistled towards them. Diana immediately raised her shield to block the red lights.
Boom! The red light exploded upon hitting the shield, and Diana was directly thrown backward. She used her Lasso of Truth in mid-air to tie herself to a flagpole and swung back.
At the same time, a group of Atlantean warriors, led by a strange man in black Armor, surrounded them.
This Armor had an unusually large head and two big red eyes, looking very bizarre.
Andrew glanced at Flash, who pulled out a small knife, looking eager.
"Who are you? So ugly."
Arthur complained to the strange man leading them. This strange man was the pirate Black Manta. He had modified the equipment given to him by the Atlanteans into a black Armor.
"You don't remember me? Arthur, you left my father to die. Today, I want Blood Debt Repayment."
Black Manta roared furiously. Arthur instantly knew who he was, feeling somewhat complex. Then, he shook his head and said, "What happened back then, I did nothing wrong. I won't kill you, but I also won't save you."
"I want you to die."
Black Manta grew even more furious upon hearing this and led the Atlantean warriors to attack.
Black Manta thought they had the numerical advantage, a huge advantage, and then, and then there was no then.
As a Flash of lightning passed, all the Atlantean soldiers' Armor were sliced open. Flash held his small knife and excitedly said, "That was exhilarating."
The next second, all the soldiers' Armor simultaneously began to leak water. The soldiers were shocked and ran to the nearest water sources as fast as they could, such as fountains, the ocean, and also, pools, toilets, and so on.
The Atlantean soldiers completely collapsed. Arthur, Diana, Flash, Vico, and Mera surrounded Black Manta, sneering.
Who had the advantage now?
Black Manta couldn't help but swallow. He roared, "Do you think I'm afraid of you? Black Manta will never back down."
After saying that, Black Manta's eyes glowed red. Everyone quickly prepared their defenses. Just then, flames shot from Black Manta's feet, and he soared into the sky, escaping towards the sea at top speed.
"…And what about 'never backing down'?"
Everyone complained. Flash asked, "Should we go after him?"
"No need to bother with him for now."
Andrew shook his head. He said, "Mera, where is Poseidons Trident?"
"It's in the Hollow Earth Sea of the Mariana Trench, which is where the Trench live. If we go there, we'll be surrounded by tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of Trench."
Mera said with a solemn expression, "The Trench are very powerful after degenerating. Their physique is only slightly weaker than Arthur's."
Arthur complained, "Why do you keep using me as a comparison? Am I a unit of measurement?"
"Going there means certain Death."
Vico sighed, thinking of Queen Atlanna.
Flash shrunk his neck and didn't speak. He wasn't comfortable in the sea, and with so many monsters, he could easily make a mistake.
"It's not that exaggerated, it's a minor matter. I'll make a call."
Andrew smiled, picked up his phone, called Superman, and said, "Superman, are you free? I want you to take Arthur to get Poseidons Trident."
After hearing what Andrew said, Superman replied, "Leave it to me, it's a small matter."
For Superman, this was indeed a small matter. Soon, he flew over and smiled at Arthur, "Aquaman, are you ready to fly with me?"
Arthur laughed heartily, "I'm ready! Don't worry, I don't get airsick."
"Superman, take this. It's a big light bulb I made. The Trench live in the sea, so they should be afraid of light."
Andrew handed a white sphere to Superman and said, "Although you might not need it, it's always better to be prepared."
