Arthur was stunned to hear that the man who killed Orm and the Arantis army was not an Amazon, but a 'conqueror'.

At this time, he remembered what Azu had said.

"You should thank me for taking care of a problem for you."

I see.

I see.

However, although Arthur knew the reason, he did not appreciate Azu at all.

On the contrary, there was some inexplicable anger, which made his face very gloomy.

Vico didn't know so much and said, "Arthur, Atlantis needs a new king. ”

"No one is more qualified to sit on the throne than you."

"You have to go back with me."

Arthur said categorically: "I'm not interested, whoever of you likes to be a king will be, anyway, don't look for me." ”

"Don't bother me in the future."

He walked towards the room in the distance.

Vico glanced at Mera, then said, "Don't you want to save your mother Atalana?" ”

Arthur paused.

Turning his head and staring at Vico's old face.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Teacher, I respect you."

"But I'm not a kid anymore, you used to say that when I'm ready, my mother will come back."

"But until now, she hasn't returned."

"Now, what do you want to say, do you want to lie to me again?"

Vico smiled bitterly and said, "Arthur, I didn't lie to you. ”

"At the beginning, your mother ran to the sea to rebel against the marriage contract, fell in love with your father, and gave birth to you."

"Later, Atlantis found your parents, and in order to protect you and your father, she had to return to Atlantis and gave birth to your younger brother Orm with the king at the time."

"It's not that she doesn't love you, on the contrary, it's out of love that she has to leave you."

"But shortly after giving birth to Orm, the king of the day learned of your existence and that Atalana had secretly married the landlings, so he was taken to the Trench Country as a sacrifice. ”

"But that's Atlanta, and Vico and I both think that she won't die so easily in the Trench Nation."

"If a large army is sent, it should be possible to find her in the Trench Country and bring her back."

"But there's a premise for that."

Arthur said in a deep voice: "I must become the king of Atlantis before I have the right to command the army and enter the Trench Country. ”

Vico spread his hands: "That's it. ”

"Arthur, even if you don't think for yourself, think about your mother and your father."

"They genuinely love each other, and now you have a chance to get them back together."

"Are you really going to give up this opportunity?"

Arthur glanced back at the room in the distance, and after a long time, he said, "I'll think about it." ”

Mera walked up and handed Arthur a conch: "Don't think about it too long, Orm is dead, and the other kingdoms of the sea are eyeing each other." ”

"If there is no king in time, Atlantis may fall apart."

Arthur took the conch, but did not respond.

Vico reached out and pulled Mera and walked to the ship, glancing at Arthur again before getting into the wheelhouse.

The ship slowly departed, and soon dived into the sea and disappeared.

Arthur returned to the house and sat in the living room, drinking a dull drink.

Gotham City.

Bruce. Wayne was testing a new piece of equipment, and although it had been a few days since the scramble for the mother box, he had not been idle.

Because whenever he is free, he can't help but think about it.

It's no wonder that he is, after all, the three mother boxes are in the hands of the 'conqueror', and who knows what will happen next.

Even if Victor doesn't sense the mother box and guesses that the mother box may go back into a deep sleep, Bruce is as prepared for the worst as always.

Suddenly, he stopped moving, and said, "Do you have to be so quiet every time you come?" ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I just held this thing, and I didn't feel good in the public eye."

Diana walked up and placed one of the mother boxes on the table.

Bruce turned around and saw the mother box, visibly stunned.

"What is this?"

Diana patted the mother box: "This is the one that humans keep, and the one that transformed Victor." ”

Bruce took off the goggles: "I know, I mean to say, how did you get it back, is the 'Conqueror' okay?" ”

"The conqueror is gone."

Diana spread her hands and said, "No one knows where he's gone, and there's no telling if he'll come back." ”

"When he left, he said, let us look at these mother boxes."

"After discussing with my mother, I felt that the mother boxes should be stored separately, and Paradise Island does not have the power to protect the three mother boxes."

"If the enemy comes again, it's going to be a problem."

"So, I've given one of them back to Atlantis."

"As for this one, I think it should be handed over to you humans for safekeeping."

Bruce looked at the mother box and said, "As far as I know, there is no place in the world where this mother box can be safely protected. ”

"Maybe I should send it into space so they never come together again."

Diana laughed, "Considering Superman is nowhere to be found, this might be a good idea." ”

Bruce laughed, "So, are you free for the evening, and I invite you to dinner?" ”

Diana shook her head: "I wish I could stay, but no, now I have more important responsibilities." ”

"You're going back to Paradise Island to protect the Mother Box?" Bruce asked.

Diana nodded.

Bruce laughed, "Well, if you come back, remember to contact me, I think next, we'd better meet regularly so we can exchange messages." ”

Diana readily agreed: "I will, I will come back once a month, I will come to you." ”

"Then I won't send it?"

"Okay."

After Diana finished speaking, she soared into the sky and flew into the sky.

Bruce looked at the mother box on the table, coughed dryly, and picked up a radio walkie next to him: "Alfred, do we have a safe at home?" ”

A month later.

Dressed in a black suit, Bruce watched a rocket take off, and the blazing light illuminated Bruce's eyes.

After the rocket disappeared into the sky, an officer stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you for your assistance, Mr. Wayne, it was you who gave the Discovery the capital to take off." ”

Bruce shook his head and said, "This cooperation between us and the Air Force started many years ago, and in fact, we have received a lot of benefits from the military. ”

"What's more, this time, the 'Explorer' went to Mars, and you also promised to bring an unmanned exploration aircraft from our Wayne enterprise so that we can collect Martian samples, in fact, we have taken a lot of advantage."

Bruce looked at the rocket that was no longer visible, and smiled.
