Arthur did not answer.
Could it be that Homelander who just appeared was Eric?!
And judging by Eric's demeanor, he clearly didn't want to say more.
So the key was still to solve it himself.
"Splash!"
"Splash!"
When Arthur jumped into the sea, he found that Mera also followed.
"Are you going to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?"
Mera asked Arthur.
"Yes. I think maybe those missing people aren't dead, maybe there's still hope!"
"So your plan is to go see if the people they took are still alive?"
Mera, moving rapidly through the ocean, said to him, "But you should understand, these things are monsters!"
"Maybe, but they desperately need food now, they might be on the verge of Death. So they are struggling to survive now, just like us."
Arthur swam forward in the deep sea, saying to her.
Hearing Arthur's words, Mera said nothing more, but continued to swim forward with Arthur with a solemn expression.
"I haven't told you my name yet, Mera, you can call me that!"
Mera said to Arthur.
"Arthur, Arthur Curry!"
Arthur said to Mera.
"Do you know that guy who fell from the sky and shot Heat Vision from his eyes?"
Mera asked Arthur, somewhat displeased.
"In a sense, we do know each other."
"So, what kind of person is he?"
Mera continued to ask him.
"I mean, in your eyes on land, is he very powerful?"
"Land?"
Arthur glanced at Mera.
He had already suspected that this red-haired woman was an existence from the bottom of the sea, and now hearing her tone, he was even more certain.
Feeling a little itchy, he really wanted to ask: Are you an Atlantean?
But in the end, he suppressed his curiosity and explained to her, "I don't know, but in the previous Kryptonian invasion, he stopped General Zod. In that battle, the entire Metropolis was almost destroyed by them!"
"And there's another existence like him! They are all Kryptonians. If you were there, you would feel the same as everyone else, a sense of 'Oh my God, we're doomed.'"
Hearing Arthur say there was another similar existence, Mera almost choked on the seawater.
"His name is Homelander, right?"
"Yes."
Arthur rubbed his eyes.
Constantly searching for clues, the toxins in the seabed made his overstrained eyes uncomfortable.
Listening to Arthur's description of Homelander's strength, Mera's expression became extremely serious.
Her apprehension towards Eric grew stronger and stronger.
She even began to suspect that what he said about destroying her kingdom might not be a threat, but truly possible.
Did she really have to bring this man named "Arthur" back to Atlantis to contend for the throne?
Mera immediately fell into a dilemma.
As the two moved rapidly across the seabed, they soon arrived at a dark area of the ocean floor.
"It's getting hotter and hotter, we're approaching a volcano now."
Unaware of Mera's unusual thoughts, Arthur pointed to a towering underwater rock formation ahead and said to her.
Around their bodies, there were many glowing fish.
These were tools Arthur had summoned to provide illumination for him, as prolonged eye strain had caused his vision to blur a bit.
So he used his superpower to attract many illuminating fish.
The deep seabed was silent, as if the whole world had fallen into stillness.
If it weren't for the faint sound of heat rising from the underwater lava, this seabed, enveloped in silence and terror, would probably drive any rational creature mad.
"How can there be living creatures here?"
Mera said to him, "And you're wrong, how could those monsters have intelligence? They're not like us, they're barbaric, primitive, and have no intelligence whatsoever!"
Arthur did not answer her, but pointed to the numerous caves projected on a towering volcanic rock ahead and asked Mera, "Then, who made those things?"
