Chapter 139: The Truth Buried in History
1,000 kilometers away from the underwater kingdom of Atlantis, the siren trio who escaped from the hands of the Dead King are now in the sea fighting the pursuing black light corpses, and the king of the saltwater country is risking his own life to fight for them. And the Death King didn't do it himself, and the black light corpses and the Trench Clan under his control followed like maggots attached to the bones, making them miserable.
As the royal family of Atlantis, these trench clans and the black light corpses produced in batches are not false at all, but the immortal nature is their biggest headache, even if they have strong water magic, they can't completely get rid of the entanglement of these black light corpses, and their resurrection speed and advance speed in the water are not much better than them. What's more, the Atlantean royal guard, which he had asked him to leave early, has not heard from him so far, which has to make the sirens think of a bad result.
"They don't look like they want to kill us!" Calder, the only male sea boy in the trio, held a twin knife containing Atlantis water magic technology, turned into two high-pressure cutting streams in the water, and directly swept the black light corpse in front of him, directly cutting the black light corpse around him into several pieces.
And these black light corpses that were cut into pieces sewed their bodies together again, roared at Calder, and did not attack, but just surrounded Calder and the three of them, a dense layer, completely blocking the way of the three.
"Yes, but they're forcing us to make a choice, and if we don't let go, we can't go." The Sirens glanced back at the last bloodline of the saltwater royal family, protected by the sea maiden Tula's water magic, the only creatures they had saved, and the Black Lantern Corpses controlled by the Death King were persecuting them in this murderous way after catching up with the three of them.
The sirens can also see the intentions of the Dead King, as long as they let go, the three of them can return to Atlantis unharmed and report to Aquaman what happened in the saltwater country, as long as the three of them don't say anything, no one will know what happened here, and they will be regarded as heroes of Atlantis. That's why the Dead King let them escape, because he was confident that the Sirens would not be able to escape their clutches.
And in the water balloon that Tula used to protect, these descendants of the royal family of intelligent sea creatures of the saltwater country also looked at the dense black light corpses outside, and the meaning was self-evident. And the only thing Tula could do was comfort the little ones while looking at the sirens at the front, waiting for her answer.
"You are very smart, so you should understand that in front of me, you have no possibility of escaping, I kept you to let you go back to Atlantis to announce the return of the king, but after these rebels, there is no such thing, what, what you have to do now is to let your partners lift the protection of them, and you can return to Atlantis as a hero, although this hero status cannot last long, but this is my reward for you as a king, as a reward for daring to wave a sword at the king."
In the black-lamped corpse that surrounded the three sirens, the voice belonging to the Death King sounded in it, speaking in a seductive tone. The voice of the indiscerning direction sounded in this sea area, and these black light corpses controlled by the Death King just floated there, looking at the sirens who were surrounded by them at this time with humanized expressions and eyes, looking forward to the siren's next answer, in his opinion, this kind of low-hanging fruit opportunity, no young man can resist this temptation.
However, the sirens only replied with the water elemental magic in their hands, and the blue water solidified in front of them, turning into sharp cones, directly piercing the black light corpses in front of them into a hornet's nest, even if this did not allow them to break through the blockade of the black light corpses controlled by the Death King, but it also succeeded in keeping their mouths shut.
"Is it all said and done, good reason, but, I refuse! A friend told me that when you have the strength to help others, you should do what you can, because at this time, we are righteous partners! Calder, Tula, ready to break through! ”
As if thinking of something happy, a smile appeared on the siren's face, and the water around him also condensed, began to spin, slowly forming a whirlpool, and these black light corpses who intended to continue to surround the sirens were also unable to control their bodies in such a large array of water magic. And Calder and Tula also used their best moves, Calder's double blades turned into two thick chains, moving along the vortex of the siren structure, entangled all the black light corpses they touched, and Tula also began to release freezing gas, preparing to cooperate with the siren's big move to completely freeze these black light corpses, although this cannot completely kill these black light corpses, but only need to prevent the black light corpses from continuing to entangle themselves and others, this is enough.
However, although the abacus played well, with the current level of the sirens, it was still too difficult for the sirens to create a large vortex comparable to a natural disaster, even with the assistance of Calder and Tula, the three of them could only maintain this large vortex without collapsing due to the struggle of the black light corpse. But it would take some time before Tula used water magic to freeze the large vortex completely, and the siren's overwhelmed body also issued a warning because of the continuous formation of the vortex, and two blood lines flowed from her nostrils, and there were a few more traces of crimson in the surrounding water.
"Sirens!" Tula, noticing that something was wrong with the sirens, also shouted.
"Do your thing, Tula!" Completely ignoring his physical condition at this time, the siren replied without replying.
Seeing the sirens fighting so hard, Tula and Calder couldn't continue to be so indifferent, unleashing their abilities to the best of their ability, and cooperating with the sirens to freeze these black light corpses, but such an overdraft consumption only hurt themselves, but they had no choice.
And when the three sirens tried their best to freeze these black lamp corpses, a blue frozen gas also attacked from the top of the vortex, directly injecting a dose of strength into the three people who were trying their best, and the blue freezing gas combined with the water magic of the three people directly froze these black lamp corpses that were rolled into it completely, forming an icicle in the sea, and a familiar voice also came from the icicle: "Is the friend you are talking about me, but I don't remember saying that I asked girls to take on such a dangerous task." ”
"Curvin?" When the voice sounded, the trio was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction of the sound, just to see Ke Wen floating in liquid form in front of the three of them, and the siren, who was as heroic as a martial god just now, suddenly became cramped, and also noticed his embarrassed appearance at this time, looking at the young man he had met on land, after a long while, he showed a sweet smile again.
"Hey, long time no see, Kewen."
"Hey, long time no see, Siren, it looks like you're in a lot of trouble just now." There was no embarrassment, the two greeted each other like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Almost, but why did you come here, and what's the matter with you doing this?" Pointing to the liquid form in which Ke Wen only revealed the outline of his facial armor at this time, the siren was also a little puzzled, how long has it been, and this is no longer a person?
"Oh, what do you say about me? I can't have a body that can adapt to the pressure of the deep sea like you, so I need to transform myself into a liquid form and melt into the water to enter the deep sea, and as for how I got here, you don't know anything about the situation now, do you? ”
"What should we be clear?" Listening to Cowen's words, the siren also sensed that something was wrong, but she had not yet imagined that the Pacific Rim would be attacked by a man-made tsunami, after all, with Atlantis in charge of the seabed, this situation was the most unlikely.
"It looks like you don't know anything, forget it, take me to Atlantis, this incident is really going to make a big fuss," looking at the three sirens who didn't know at all, Ke Wen was helpless, this time the enemy is not good.
Some didn't understand why Curvin was so nervous, but the sirens also understood that the most important thing at this time was to inform the Sea King and the Queen of the Sea who were ruling in Atlantis about everything that happened in the Saltwater Country. And Ke Wen also glanced at the group of marine intelligent creatures who were barely touching the human side protected by Tula behind him, and directly wrapped all the sirens and his party and swam towards Atlantis.
The blue liquid encased the three sirens, escorting them and treating their injuries. By the time Curvin led them to Atlantis' bubble shield, which was cut off from the sea, the three sirens had fully recovered.
And the Atlantean soldiers stationed there consciously opened the enchantment after seeing the three sirens, so that Kewen could bring the three of them and the dry humanoid sea intelligence creatures to enter. After entering the realm of Atlantis, Curvin could also feel that he no longer needed to remain in a liquid state, and after releasing the three sirens, he also lifted the magic and returned to his water elemental form as a wizard, and the pressure of the deep sea that he was supposed to bear also dissipated without a trace.
"Sirens, Calder, Tula, you're finally back." Before the sirens were about to take Ke Wen to meet his brother-in-law and sister, a middle-aged man with a ball head and a team of Atlantean soldiers rode a sea beast to surround Ke Wen, who had recovered his true body, and at the same time looked at the three sirens, and his frowning face also showed an inquiring look.
"Vico, don't be nervous, he's the leader of the Young Titans, Kamen Rider. But I think you should know, so what is the purpose of such a big battle? The siren's face was not very good when she saw that Corvin was surrounded, but she believed that the old man who taught her brother-in-law to govern the country had not been so isolated that he didn't even know what superheroes were on land.
"Because he knows what I'm here for, right, Mr. Vico, if you think I'm here to ask for guilt, you don't have to, we're not indiscriminate." Ignoring these Atlantean soldiers around him, Kewen also floated in front of Vico and said directly.
"The problem is not with you, but with the attitude of the land realm, Mr. Kamen Rider."
Seeing Vico and Kewen playing dumb riddles with each other, the three sirens on the side were also confused, they just went out to perform a mission, how many big things did they miss.
"You'll know the sirens, but for now, come with me, your father, the king of Zebel's kingdom, is waiting for you in the palace." Noticing the look of confusion on the siren's face, Vico replied and said no more.
Without directly informing them of the facts, Vico led the Atlantean soldiers to lead the way, while Curvin and Siren looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and followed. The three sirens followed behind Ke Wen with the royal descendants they rescued from the saltwater country, and after passing through several halls, they finally came to the center of power in this underwater kingdom, sitting on the golden throne, holding a golden trident in their hands, wearing a golden fish-scale uniform, and beside them was the one who was also one of the best in the DC world, the queen of the sea.
With long red hair and a dress with a marine style, people have to look sideways, and more importantly, this queen of the sea is not a vase character, many times, she plays a better role in big events than Aquaman. As a princess who grew up in Atlantis, she received much more education than Aquaman who graduated from community college.
And this Sea King, Ke Wen is also the first time to really get close to him, and he has rarely met him before, even in the crime syndicate invasion incident, he has fought separately. It wasn't until this black light corpse wave and the global tsunami attack that Curvin came to this mysterious Atlantis and met the sea king who was often complained about and could only talk to fish.
With long flowing hair and a beard that represents masculine charm, well, it's really you, Mr. Xu!
And in this palace, in addition to Ke Wen himself, there is only the group of saltwater royal families rescued by the sirens and the members of the Atlantean royal family sitting at both ends, don't think that the Atlantis royal family only has the Sea King and the Sea Queen and the Sea Lord, more just because they are dragons, there is no need to appear, as for the sirens, they have already been picked up by others. Ke Wen didn't care much about this arrangement, he wanted to know what role Atlantis played in this incident.
"I guess I don't have to introduce myself, do I?"
"I know you, Kamen Rider, and you know the purpose of your coming here, and I can also tell you very responsibly that Atlantis didn't know about the global tsunami in the Pacific Rim not long ago, in fact, not long after this global tsunami, our contact with the outside world was completely cut off, and you can bring the three of them back safely, I am very grateful, the reason why we did not send people to shore is also for the sake of the overall situation, we need to know who is targeting us."
"So, here comes the answer you want, ask these people."
Pointing to the group of humanoid little crabs who finally came to a safe place, Ke Wen could only understand it this way, after all, they were no longer humans, and he didn't know what to call them, so it was better to remember them directly. At the same time, Kewen also played the picture of his battle with the black light corpse on land, those controlled trench clans, as well as the black light corpses of the little crab clan, the hideous faces were directly presented in front of these Atlantean royal clans through Kewen's projection.
Especially when he saw the Trench Clan, there was a commotion in this palace for a while, and while he exchanged his ears, he also looked at the Sea King sitting on the throne. In the memories they are familiar with and the historical records of Atlantis, only the person who holds the trident has the ability to command all things in the ocean, and as we all know, the current owner of the trident is the sea king, so who else can the master behind this attack be besides the sea king in front of him?
A pair of eyes looked at the Sea King on the throne with malicious eyes, and dirty thoughts rose in his mind, and Ke Wen also noticed the strangeness revealed by the expression of the Atlantis royal family, and he had to sigh that the saying that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes makes sense. The reality will not be as simple as the film and television animation works I have seen, in animation and film and television works, Aquaman is just through a king-to-king battle, by finding the trident that represents the king's power, plus he is still in power as the mother of the previous generation of the queen.
In order to declare war on land, his half-brother first fought several civil wars at the bottom of the sea, suffering heavy casualties and unpopular with the people; The time and place were favorable, and the Sea King occupied all of them, which allowed the Sea King to successfully ascend to the throne. But it doesn't mean that these pure-blooded Atlantean royal families will be so willing to obey the rule of the Sea King, a half-blood, because of the trident that holds the royal power, coupled with the will of the people, this is the only one to sit on the throne, and for them, the royal family who is in charge of most of the resources of Atlantis, only one excuse is needed, all that the Sea King has now can be taken back, and now, this excuse has come.
"Quiet!" The trident in his hand stomped on the ground, and the invisible shock wave swept by, and with the help of the bloodline suppression brought by the trident, it directly made these whispering royal clans shut up, and the resentment in their eyes also swept over the trident in the Sea King's hand and took it back. That's why they didn't dare to stage a coup d'état by force, and the Trident's command of the sea included the royal family of Atlantis.
The noisy palace quieted down, and Aquaman also looked at these pictures projected by Kewen, he was sure that Kewen did not panic, but just like these ghostly Atlantean royal families, Aquaman also doubted himself when he saw the appearance of the Trench Clan, thinking that he would be mentally controlled, and summoned the Trench Clan to attack the city on land and then was erased and thrown back to Atlantis, this possibility is not impossible, after all, there are so many superpowers in these years, and he is not strong enough to be superhumanIt is also possible when it was shaded.
Looking at his wife, Mera, the queen of the sea, and Mera, who had a heart with her husband, also shook her head, obviously directly denying the possibility that the sea king thought. And Aquaman also remembered his advice when he returned to Earth at that time, and Batman decided to let the Justice League go underground: everyone should be vigilant, and the mastermind behind the scenes will arrange corresponding plans according to everyone's characteristics, don't be provoked, and protect everyone around you.
[So is it my turn to be targeted this time, my father and mother should be fine, I have bought them tickets to China. A few thoughts flashed through his mind, and then Aquaman looked at Ke Wen and said directly, "I can guarantee one thing, Kamen Rider, I don't know anything about the Trench Clan. ”
"But the problem is, they did attack the land, along with those monsters with black lights, I also believe that you will not do such a thing, whether as the king of Atlantis or a member of the Justice League, but I came, I just need to find a truth, a truth that can keep the land nation from going to war with Atlantis, and more importantly, if you don't find out who is behind this quickly, then the situation will only get worse."
Ke Wen replied without humility or arrogance, and at the same time swept his gaze over these Atlantean royal families sitting on both sides with ghosts in their hearts, although they are some dragons who don't even have names, but they have stayed in Atlantis much longer than Aquaman, and the inheritance is ten thousand years, compared to the illegitimate son of Aquaman, they are the hidden old foxes, and he needs to find the guy who can give him the answer from these old foxes.
"I want someone who can answer your question, my king." Sitting on the side, the wise man Vico, who assisted the Sea King in governing the country, also got up at this time, floated in front of the Sea King and Ke Wen, and bowed and said.
"Vico, who do you want to talk about?" The Sea King looked at the respected elder and asked curiously.
"Your brother, Lord of the Seas, Prince Aum."
"Are you sure you want me to see him?" Aquaman also stood up from his throne and floated to Vico's side, whispering in his ear.
"It's a bit presumptuous to say that, but do you think those old foxes who know the truth will tell you everything? Although Aum has rebelled, you are brothers after all, and some things cannot be cut off, and looking for him is at least more reliable than these old foxes. Vico also whispered in his ear, and Aquaman also glanced at the Atlantean royal family sitting on both sides, looking at his nose and nose, and understood that what Vico said was right, but he couldn't pull his face to find his younger brother, after all, what he did was a little unauthentic.
robbed his younger brother of the throne, and by the way, NTR his fiancée became his wife, and his mother also supported his accession to the throne. If he was treated like this, he would have to die with others for the rest of his life, while his younger brother was only punished by life imprisonment, staying in prison in his luxurious suite all day long, just like a vacation.
"Don't you know?" Aquaman still looked at Vico with some unwillingness, the wise man who had taken care of him since he was a child.
"I'm not a royal family after all, my king, and Prince Orm, his identity is destined to know something you don't know, and all you have to do is go to him and make it clear to your face."
Understood, as soon as he heard Vico say this, Aquaman knew that he couldn't run this wave, glanced at Kewen who was standing below, and then at these Atlantean royal families, with a palm in his hand, the trident standing next to the throne flew directly into his hand and danced at will. Only then did he look at these Atlantean royal clans, and directly ordered: "From now on, Atlantis will enter a state of combat readiness, including the Zebel Kingdom and the Mermaid Kingdom, issue a war mobilization order, without my order, no one is allowed to set foot on land for half a step, remember, I'm talking about anyone, including me!" ”
"Are we planning to go to war with land? My king, this is not a good choice. A mouthy Atlantean royal family scoffed.
"No, it's something bigger than that, you just need to follow my orders, now, give me a step down!"
With a wave of the trident, no matter how unwilling these Atlantean royal families were, they could only do things according to the orders of the Sea King, and empty the palace, leaving only themselves, as well as their wife Haihou Meila, the wise Vico and Ke Wen, and the Sea King said to Ke Wen: "Come with me, I will take you to the person who can give you the answer." ”
