The Death Knell

Su Ming knew about Trench Country, and the residents there were quite unfriendly. Although he traveled too early to watch the solo movie of "Aquaman", he knew this place in the comics.

To put it simply, the ancient city of Atlantis was divided into several pieces and sank to the bottom of the sea, with one piece falling into the trench.

The lightless environment deep in the trench, coupled with the harsh living conditions, completely drove these residents crazy.

Under the influence of the external environment, they evolved another terrifying appearance.

Of course, just for human aesthetics, the huge eyes, sharp teeth and claws of deep sea creatures are quite terrifying.

But in addition, these Atlanteans have also become disowned and are in a state of crazy hunger all the time, which is very bad.

The possibility of normal communication was completely cut off, and even language was abandoned by them.

In the deepest part of their memory, there is of course the glory of the Atlanteans, but this is only reflected in the fact that they will avoid the bearer of Poseidon's Trident and redouble their frenzy to attack the target pointed by that weapon. .

The Trident of Poseidon is now in the capital of Atlantis, the city of Arthur and Mela, in the floating city of Poseidonice.

In general, Atlantis also refers to the capital city, which inherited its ancient name.

Arthur is known as the King of the Seven Seas, but in fact there are only six underwater kingdoms, and the Arctic Ocean is completely blank. Even if the Atlanteans were strong, they couldn't live in ice water for a long time.

If it's true, when Mela senses something is wrong, she will immediately pick up the Poseidon Trident to defend her people.

This also means that Su Ming has no reliable means to deal with the Haigou tribe.

He must rely on the weapons in his hands to fight his way through the Haitou clan who have been mutated twice by the poisonous water.

But why are Yeying and Alice distracted during the action?

They are also veteran heroes and have participated in many battles, especially Black Alice. She is a girl who kills people so much that even Wildcat and Deadshot find them disgusting.

But what's going on now?

Su Ming is not a god, he cannot understand everything and control everything, and the two girls are behaving very unprofessionally now, which may add twists and turns to the mission.

He conveyed his intention to the Blue Devil by a tap on the shoulder, and he and Daniel stood guard at the sorcerer's left and right.

There is no way, this is the life of a soldier.

I thought that Eve, who had become parasitized by the symbiote, would not need protection, but I didn't expect that she would be worse than before.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but the sea water here is obviously darker than that in other places. It's almost a little farther away, and even Su Ming's eyepiece can't see clearly.

The only things that can be seen are jagged seabed rocks and irregular and strange-shaped corals.

And we have just entered the trench. We have no idea what is below.

At present, they have only encountered some sporadic attacks by marine creatures, and none of the Haitou tribe has appeared in the main event.

Su Ming was more vigilant. If the situation was not good, he would settle for the next best thing and choose another place that was not so perfect.

.....................................

A little earlier here, Poseidonius.

The early morning sun shines on the city, and its colorful spiers that seem to be made of seashells give off a strange brilliance.

Atlanteans take to the streets to start their day.

That's right, being born as a race under the sea, they have almost nothing to ask for, as long as they have fish to eat.

Houses are provided by the state, as are clothes and daily necessities. They have no concept of money at all.

Whether it's building a house or looking for food, it's something everyone does together. If you have to be busy, everyone should be busy, and if you have to rest, everyone should rest together. These are the rules of Atlantis.

And now that Atlantis has received funding from Batman, they've gotten enough land food, and new clothes, so now the whole city is on holiday.

When people woke up this morning, they found a newly built amusement park next to the city, Egyptian style.

They had never been to Egypt, let alone the pyramids and temples, all of which were very attractive to the Atlanteans.

Idle people with nothing to do, coupled with a fresh paradise, naturally want to play.

In order to match the style of Atlantis, when Barry built the amusement park, half of it was sunk underwater, and he also left a message on a stone tablet stating that this was a gift from the Justice League to the people of Atlantis.

Perhaps because it was too strange to write a death knell as a gift, he used the name Zhenglian.

The Atlanteans started a carnival, and they swam to the new paradise, preparing to spend a boring day there.

A child was complaining to his mother that he didn't like the sunshine and dry air on the ground, while his father asked him to come down from the water and play in the paradise together.

“The ocean doesn’t leave us, you see, it’s with us.”

"But dad, the color of the sea water seems..."

And then, his father screamed, as if something grabbed his feet from under the water and dragged him into the purple sea water.

Others started to run away from the purple water like crazy, but in the opaque water, there seemed to be some creature that was constantly catching them.

They couldn't see that the Atlanteans who were contaminated by the purple seawater were almost instantly transformed into alien monsters. They would grow completely unnecessary things like fins or webs, and their skin color would also turn red and green. Yes, even more ferocious.

A 1.8 meter strong man will instantly become 2.8 meters tall, with scales and explosive muscles growing all over his body.

The child's father turned into a red-skinned sea monster, jumped out of the water, and rushed towards the mother and son, while uttering strange and incomprehensible language.

"ah!!!"

The child's mother screamed. She could not accept the tragic situation of her lover's mutation, and many people around her began to run for their lives, while shouting the name of Poseidon, hoping that he could save them.

Poseidon will never come. He never cares whether mortals live or die, whether they are on land or under the sea.

When Chusheng was committing massacre in Olympus, Poseidon was also taking a bath in the sea and had no intention of intervening. You must know that those who died were all his relatives.

What's more, now that Poseidon is actually dead, he can no longer hear the calls for help from the believers brought by the waves.

But someone could hear it, heard her people screaming from the shore.

A curtain of water suddenly rose from the shore, and the water column like a giant dragon washed the mutants back into the sea.

The red-haired Mera appeared on the beach, fully armed.

She wears a golden tiara and green scale armor, and holds a silver double-sided axe-shaped trident in her hand.

Although she relies on her superpowers when fighting, having a weapon in her hand is better than nothing, right?

The Trident of the Sea King was taken away by Arthur, and the Trident of Poseidon was a valuable treasure. It was stored in the temple and she didn't want to touch it, so she picked up the weapon of 'Sea Lord' Orm.

It's just that it seems a little strange for a petite woman to hold such a heavy weapon.

"Everyone! Get off the coast!"

Her ability to control water can temporarily save the city of Atlantis, but as an underwater ancient city, it has no walls.

Those mutated fish-men were besieging the city from different directions. She could only lead the residents back to the "third level" in the palace area, which was the highest.

But the buildings in Atlantis were never waterproof, and in another hour, the entire city would be flooded.

For the first time, she felt afraid of the sea.

She sought advice from her advisors and the Guard, but they were at their wits' end. This was a planet-level crisis that Atlantis alone could not handle.

"No matter what the cost, I will save my people."

Mela decided to contact the Justice League.

Her relationship with the Justice League is average, because those people are obviously on Arthur's side. When they mention her as Aquaman's wife, it seems like they don't even know her name...

Mela has some emotional management problems. Although she looks dignified, beautiful, and weak most of the time.

But when she is injured or depressed, she will enter a violent state, and the endless anger in her heart can even attract a red light ring.

And before she met Arthur, she was originally the queen of the mysterious sea area - the x-water area. She was a very strong woman who had a firm mind and would hardly change herself because of others.

But in this case, she must contact the Justice League.

....................................................

At that time, Batman was still arranging rescue matters. Every hero he knew was sent out to save people around the world.

As a die-hard Titan team, naturally they are no exception.

But after Nightwing was shot, the Titans team was obviously left unmanaged. Damian was far from qualified in Batman's eyes, and Batman had forced him to take refuge.

Just like Su Ming forced Gordon to take refuge and temporarily store him in a safe place.

Now the Titans are temporarily under Starfire's command in action.

Starfire actually has no commanding skills. This alien princess is very playful and very nervous, so she is not suitable for leadership.

But now the action is very simple. She can do whatever Batman says. She just needs to make sure that the team members don't run around.

When they were preparing to set off, a former teammate came back. He heard the Justice League's assembly order, and he rushed to the Hall of Justice when he was originally attending college on land.

He is ‘Sea Storm’ Garth, who was once codenamed ‘Sea Knight’. He is Aquaman’s little follower and the prince of the underwater country ‘Idilist’.

Idilist was once part of the ancient city of Atlantis, and is still a franchising country of the Kingdom of Atlantis.

Garth has followed Arthur in chivalry since he was a child, but he is no longer a boy. He gave up the title of Aquaman to Jackson Hyde, the son of Black Manta from Earth 16.

Black Manta in the main world is a super villain, but his ectopic son from Earth 16 is actually a really good boy.

When Garth rushed to the Hall of Justice, he learned that Nightwing had been shot, all the Idilist people still in the water had turned into fish, and Arthur, who he regarded as his brother, disappeared...

Garth believes that the longer he delays, the more serious the situation will become. He can't stand Batman's slow plan, and he plans to take the Teen Titans to save the world.
