After a fierce exchange, Namor, who hadn't gained an advantage, quickly retreated to launch his next wave of attacks.
In the previous rounds of head-on clashes, he had suffered some losses due to his inferior strength. His hands were numb, and the hand holding the Trident trembled slightly.
He knew he was at a disadvantage in terms of strength and couldn't continue to fight head-on. He immediately utilized his speed advantage to launch a guerrilla attack, occasionally firing a few Energy Blasts with his Trident from a distance.
The power of these Energy Blasts was no less than that of a rocket launcher, possessing an extremely strong impact.
In fact, the Trident in Han Shaoqing's hands also had this function, but he had only just obtained the Trident and didn't know how to use it yet.
Facing Namor's ranged attacks, Han Shaoqing could only dodge and use the Trident to withstand them.
He tried to get close several times, but Namor used his speed advantage to avoid him.
"It seems you haven't mastered the power of the Trident, or perhaps your replica doesn't possess such capabilities. Am I right, cousin?"
Namor kept moving, his Trident acting like a mobile turret, constantly firing. Energy Blasts were unleashed as if they were free.
In this barrage of fire, Han Shaoqing dodged left and right. When he couldn't avoid the blasts, he used his Trident to block. Although the force of the Energy Blasts wasn't enough to kill him, taking a hit was still unpleasant.
"Namor, is this all you've got? Don't you even have the courage to fight me up close?" Han Shaoqing taunted.
Namor didn't care. "This is a battle between kings, not child's play. Surrender now, and I might spare your life."
As a king, Namor had a fiery temper, but he wasn't stupid. Using his strengths to overcome his enemy's weaknesses was a basic quality of a qualified warrior.
Brute force was the way of a reckless man.
Han Shaoqing was somewhat helpless and immediately wielded his Trident, using the water flow as a weapon to attack Namor.
His father had said that only Magic could defeat Magic.
Han Shaoqing hadn't mastered the Energy Blast technique yet, but the Neptune's Trident could call upon the power of the ocean. This didn't require any skill, only the will to do it.
\n\nThe water swirled, forming a spiral water column that surged upwards, creating a suction force that rushed towards Namor.
\n\n"Useless."
\n\nNamor held the Trident in front of him. The Trident flashed with golden light, and the churning seawater was instantly calmed, disappearing into nothingness.
\n\n"Tch…"
\n\nTaking advantage of this moment, Han Shaoqing charged with all his might, transforming into a phantom that moved against the current. In the blink of an eye, the Trident in his hand was like a heavy cannon, thrusting towards Namor's chest.
\n\nNamor held his Trident with both hands, using the handle to block. Due to the force, he was pushed upwards by Han Shaoqing, eventually breaking through the ice.
\n\n"Splash~"
The two of them broke through the ice and flew into the air, reaching a height of about fifty meters. Han Shaoqing and Namor's momentum slowed, and they began to descend.
However, only Han Shaoqing landed on the ground. Namor, relying on the small wings on his feet, remained in the air.
The fin-like wings on Namor's ankles looked like decorations on children's shoes. It was simply unscientific that such small wings could enable someone to fly!
However, the Marvel world wasn't a purely technological world; it possessed many supernatural powers, so Han Shaoqing wasn't too surprised.
Seeing Namor flying, Han Shaoqing knew that the tactics Aquaman Arthur used to defeat his brother, Ocean Master, wouldn't work on Namor.
Firstly, Namor's overall strength was greater than Ocean Master's, and the Trident in his hand was the real deal, capable of controlling water, releasing Energy Blasts, and generating lightning, among other things.
Secondly, Namor possessed the ability to fly and could still fly even away from water.
But Han Shaoqing didn't have the ability to fly.
Compared to being in the water, Namor's advantage increased on land.
Unless Han Shaoqing could keep Namor on land until he ran out of oxygen, he basically had no chance.
Namor was a hybrid. In the Marvel comics, his strength would weaken after being out of the water for an hour. If he stayed on land and in the water for too long, he would experience oxygen deprivation, leading to manic, depressive, and fluctuating emotions.
If he didn't come into contact with water for over a week, it would become a fatal danger.
He didn't know if this setting would work for Namor in this world?
Namor wasn't aware of Han Shaoqing's thoughts. Flying in mid-air, he raised his Trident and fired several Energy Blasts downwards.
Han Shaoqing raised his Trident high, activating the divine power within it, and formed an Energy Shield to block above. After neutralizing the attack, the Energy Shield didn't break, but the ice beneath his feet was shattered.
"Rise!"
Han Shaoqing controlled the seawater to steady himself, wielding his Trident, and conjured a Water Tornado that surged towards Namor in mid-air. However, Namor easily dodged it.
Namor dove down, his Trident sweeping down from the sky, carrying the force of ten thousand pounds as it slammed down.
Han Shaoqing raised his trident to block. In an instant, under the immense force, neither was victorious. Han Shaoqing's control over the water beneath him faltered. Losing his balance, he was kicked in the abdomen by Namor, sending him flying horizontally to crash into an iceberg a hundred meters away.
The powerful impact caused a sharp pain in Han Shaoqing's abdomen. His body directly collapsed the lower half of the iceberg.
Han Shaoqing had just moved away from several tons of ice when he saw Namor already standing in mid-air, holding his Trident high. Dark clouds churned in the sky, and lightning and thunder roared.
"Boom!"
The thunder roared, and a huge, reddish-white lightning bolt descended from the heavens.
Han Shaoqing was unable to dodge in time and was struck by the lightning. Powerful electricity spread throughout his body. Fortunately, the Trident and Golden Armor blocked most of the damage. Even so, Han Shaoqing was still screaming in pain from the electricity, his black hair turned into a ramen-like mess, emitting white smoke.
[Looks like I really can't win. He's bullying me for lacking magic output!]
"Boom~"
The clouds in the sky swirled, and crimson and white lightning struck down again.
Han Shaoqing was helpless and could only use his Energy Shield to defend, passively taking hits.
At this moment, Namor had transformed from a warrior into a mage, continuously outputting attacks from a distance, battering the drifting glaciers until they were riddled with holes.
"Everyone has their place, and you shouldn't be in Atlantis."
Namor might have been lacking oxygen, as he was acting a bit neurotic, like an overly passionate, chuuni teenager, not only using Magic output but also starting to run his mouth.
Prolonged defense inevitably leads to loss. After Han Shaoqing took a few hits, he changed his strategy and dove into the sea.
"Since you've come to Atlantis, you should pay the price for your recklessness."
As he spoke, Namor plunged into the sea, simultaneously commanding the surrounding sharks to attack Han Shaoqing.
"At your age, can't you take it easy?"
A golden light erupted from Han Shaoqing's eyes, and the sharks swarming towards him instantly turned into a bunch of good boys.
"You can also control marine creatures? It seems he really succeeded. Now kneel, and I might accept your surrender."
Namor felt that his "cousin" before him had abilities too similar to his own, almost exactly the same.
Just as Namor was lost in self-admiration, Han Shaoqing had already closed in, stabbing with his Trident.
"A king cannot be humiliated! Even without Magic, I, Han Shaoqing, am still invincible in this world!"
