58.King of the Seven Seas (I)

The Hidden Sea in the center of the earth, a place that only exists in legends.

According to the ancient texts left by the Atlanteans of the First Age, this small world beneath the world is known as the "Eighth Ocean", and it is said that it is a world covered in sea.

There is only one piece of land, and in it grows mysterious creatures that have long been extinct from the outside world.

In the 20th century, the theory of the hollowness of the earth was put forward by scientists, and thanks to the efforts of the imperial organization, tunnels to the underground hollow layer were discovered all over the world.

At present, the Imperial Organization has confirmed that the ancient Titans that exist in the world were born in these small hollow worlds.

The mystery has been revealed, and the legendary place of the Sea in the center of the earth is also one of the more peculiar of these small worlds.

Arthur, who had been searching for his mother for several years, finally found his mother in this place.

But he wasn't the only one who came, after completing the serpent's mission, Orm was also freed, and he almost followed Arthur into the Hidden Sea.

Then there was the scene where the brothers beat each other up.

"The Kraken guards the hidden sea in the center of the earth, and I have seen the great creatures rest in this sea more than once."

On the sands of the hidden sea, by a lit bonfire, Queen Atlanta held the hands of her two sons, and with a mother's gentle smile on her face, she said to her two sons:

"I was in despair when I was thrown into the territory of the Trench Clan, but... Kraken saved me. ”

She chuckled and said:

"It's not a good idea, it won't save anyone, but the Kraken happened to pass by the abyss just as I was about to be eaten by the Trench Clan, and its power dispersed the twisted creatures, allowing me to escape."

"I followed the Kraken all the way, and finally through the rift in the bottom of the sea, I was swept into this world, and I have lived here for so many years."

"You should tell us you're alive."

Aum, the Sea Breaker, who sat on the stone, said in a stiff tone:

"You can't imagine the pain and despair in my heart when I heard that you were dead, if you can enter this place, then you can also get out..."

"No, Orm, there's no way out of this place."

Queen Atlanta sighed, she brushed her white hair, and reached out to help Orm remove the Celestial Hammer Lord's helmet, an action that made Orm hesitate.

But this delicate prince did not refuse his mother's kindness in the end.

As if he had been a child, he let his mother's fingers run his hair, a long silver-white hair that was almost identical to that of Queen Atlanta.

The queen stroked her youngest son's forehead, and her eyes were full of joy at reunion, and even tears filled her eyes.

Her nose is a little sour, and she lives alone in a lonely world for decades, which proves that she is a strong enough woman.

But when facing the child, she can no longer suppress the thoughts and thoughts in her heart.

She whispered:

"I've tried a lot of things, but I really can't get out of here, and trying to get back to the world through the tunnel you came from will anger the Kraken, and it won't allow any creature here to leave the Hidden Sea."

"It's guarding something."

Arthur, who was sitting on the other side, holding the unconscious Mela and treating his girlfriend's wounds, suddenly spoke:

"Mom, that god stayed here on a mission from Ancestor Atlanta, right?"

"Oh, my little Arthur knows a lot."

Queen Atlanta chuckled.

She reached out and patted Arthur's arm, and she said:

"Yes, Kraken stayed here to guard the legendary artifact, the artifact that everyone in the sea longed for, the proof of the King of the Seven Seas forged by Poseidon himself."

"The Holy Neptune Trident is here!"

Queen Atlanta stared at the burning bonfire, and she said:

"Right in the deepest part of this island, there is an abandoned Temple of the First Age, which I have entered several times, but I can't get closer to the center of the temple, but I have seen it with my own eyes, the golden Halberd of Glory."

"The coffins of our ancestors are also placed here, Arthur, and Orm, you, including me, are not the first people to enter the Hidden Sea in the center of the earth, and there are many others who have entered here before us."

"They were one step away from the Trident and within easy reach of the throne of the King of the Seven Seas, but all of them failed..."

The queen stood up, and she said to her two sons:

"The Kraken guards the Trident, and in the records of the temple, it is the war beast of the Sea Emperor Atlanta, a war weapon born in the city of Atlantis in the First Age, and the Sea Emperor's most trusted friend."

"Not only does it guard the trident, but it also guards another secret, but the stone tablet that records the secret has been destroyed, and I can't guess..."

"It's Atlantis, Mother."

Arthur breathed a sigh of relief, and he bluntly said to his mother:

"I learned about these secrets through an elder, the ancient city of the First Age was sealed by the Sea Emperor himself to avoid a catastrophe that swept the world, but now, that ancient city has been opened for special reasons."

"The calamity was unleashed, and the elder asked me to come here to try to obtain the Neptune Trident and activate the counterforce left behind by Aquaman Atlan to resolve the crisis spreading from Atlantis."

"You?"

After Arthur's words were finished, Orm, who was sitting on the side, sneered.

The Heavenly Hammer Venerable said in a cold voice as he stroked his war hammer:

"Are you deaf? Mom said that the Kraken guards the Trident, and if you don't pass it, you won't be able to get the king's certificate at all, and with your current strength, you will be dead when you encounter the Kraken. ”

"You're not the chosen one at all!"

"That's much better than you!"

In the face of his brother's ridicule, Arthur retorted mercilessly.

He looked at the strange rune armor on Orm, and the claw hammer in his hand, and said:

"No matter how desperate I am, I won't ask for an evil god! Look at you, Orm, before you had a heart and a soul, but now you're nothing! ”

"Shut up, weakling."

A flash of fire flashed in Aum's eyes, Arthur's presence was like a thorn in his heart, he stood up with his hammer in his hand, and in the entwining of purple thunder and lightning, he said to Arthur:

"The relationship between me and the Great Snake is not a servant and a master, it is just an equal transaction, the arrogant evil god doesn't care what the Heavenly Hammer Venerables think, it just wants pure fear, I am not controlled by him..."

"The content of my deal with him is pure, I need strength to save my mother, I'm not like you, I'm here with other purposes."

"You're a heartless wretch!"

The brothers began to look at each other coldly and provoke each other again, much to the annoyance of Queen Atlanta.

She exclaimed:

"Enough, you two, you are brothers, you should help each other and not want to kill each other! I don't care what grievances you had before, listen to me now! ”

The Mother was furious, which made Arthur and Orm suddenly rub their momentum, and the two young men snorted at the same time, but neither was tense.

"Fate sent you two brothers here, which means that one of you must be able to obtain the Neptune Trident."

Queen Atlanta pointed to the mountain path that led to the depths of the island, and she said to her two sons:

"You go together, Kraken's strength is oppressive, none of you alone can pass through its blockade, and it is only possible for you to cooperate to enter the temple."

"Whoever gets the Trident can save the outside world from a catastrophe, and with the Trident, the Kraken will no longer stop us from leaving, this is what the king should do and consider!"

Speaking of this, the queen's voice became gentle, and she looked at her two sons, and she said:

"I'm touched by the fact that you're here to get me out, kids, but if you continue to be so hostile to each other that you're determined to be a killer, then I might as well stay here."

"I don't want to see one of my sons die at the hands of another, and I grieve so much that any of you are hurt."

"The past, let it pass, now, you brothers should work together..."

"Whoosh"

Queen Atlanta's lecture to her son was interrupted by a sudden whistling sound in the middle of the earth, and the three people present looked up and saw a figure rushing out of the sea and flying into the sky.

He crossed the sky at great speed and crashed into the valley in the middle of the island.

"Namor?"

Arthur exclaimed.

Although it was only a glimpse, he already recognized the identity of the fourth person from the familiar form.

It was Namor, his cousin.

"You bastard!"

Orm stepped forward and grabbed Arthur by the collar with his cold armor, and he shouted:

"You told Namor the secret of the Trident? Do you trust that hypocrite that much? ”

"I didn't say it!"

Arthur opened his brother's hand and said:

"Namor didn't know about the existence of the Hidden Sea in the center of the earth, he should still be in Atlantis City, I don't know what happened, and I don't know how he got here."

"Boom"

While the two brothers were arguing, the whole island suddenly shook, and the roar of the gods came from beneath the ground, and countless pterosaurs flapped their wings and flew up from the island's woods in terror.

"It's Kraken!"

Queen Atlanta pointed to the center of the island, and she shouted to Arthur and Orm:

"Namor is trying to get his hands on the Trident, and he's already fighting the Kraken. I've met Namor as a child, and he's also your relative, but he's definitely no match for Kraken, go and help! ”

"Take me there!"

Arthur grabbed Orm's arm, and he snapped:

"Quick!"

"Huh"

Aum sneered, and said sarcastically:

"What? You Namor, are you going to help your cousin win this time? Just like last time, give him your victory. ”

"Nope."

Arthur grabbed his crooked trident, and he whispered:

"Not this time, Namor has changed, he is not the same person, I am not going to help him, I am going to stop him."

"If you want the trident, you can get it, and I will help you, as long as you promise to go to Atlantis City to eliminate the disaster after you get the king's certificate!"

"You guy..."

Orm looked Arthur in the eye and said:

"Are you really so dismissive of the throne of the King of the Seven Seas?"

"I never wanted to be a king."

Arthur looked directly at Orm, and he said calmly:

"My personality is not suitable to be a king, and I can't understand why you are so obsessed with the throne, I want to be a hero more than a king."

"I enjoy the gratitude of those who are rescued, not the awe of my subjects."

"I prefer the people I saved to the crown to invite me to a drink, and that's it... If it weren't for my mother, I wouldn't have stepped into the sea for the rest of my life. ”

After listening to Arthur's brief words, he stared into those eyes, and from the eyes of this rude man whom he should call "brother", he could not see the slightest concealment, Arthur was telling the truth.

This is probably the first time that the two brothers have had such a real heart-to-heart relationship.

"Help me! Help me bring the real Namor back. ”

Arthur pleaded:

"He's not a bad guy, you have a misunderstanding of him, he just wants to change the deep sea, so that his tragedy doesn't happen to other people, you can disapprove of his style, but you can't die without help."

"He'll be killed by Kraken!"

"Orm!"

Queen Atlanta held the unconscious Mela, she looked at her little son, and she said:

"Like I told you when I was a kid... Do the right thing! ”

"Shh

His Royal Highness pursed his lips, and under his mother's gaze, he waved his hand and grabbed the claw hammer at his feet, and in the entwining of purple lightning, he took Arthur into the sky, crossed an arc of light in the air, and fell into the valley of the island.

Kraken has gone berserk.

It was probably injured by Namor's attack, and the god poked out its hideous tentacles from the ocean in the heart of the earth.

Just a wild dance tore down the ancient temple in the valley, and even the ridge with the top of the temple was torn apart.

The entire island collapsed and disintegrated in the fury of the gods.

"Namor! Hold on! ”

Arthur grabbed the crooked trident and rushed into the crumbling temple, and at a glance he saw Namor, who was being stormed by Kraken's tentacles.

The latter was in a terrible state, probably injured in Atlantis, leaving blood constantly flowing from his abdomen.

However, in the state of the phoenix folded, in addition to his own strength, he also has the ability from the laser eye.

Namor looked up, and the scorching laser beam was like a scorching knife, slicing through the tentacles of the gods as Namor's body swung, slicing through the tentacles of the gods, and even severing Kraken's flesh and bones.

Beside Namor, there was a tentacle that had been cut open, which was probably why the gods were so angry.

It was hurt.

But this kind of injury could not stop Kraken, the monster of the Heavenly Father, and the pain of the pins and needles only made the gods angry.

Between the onslaught of tentacles and giant claws, and the collapse of everything, Namor was extremely suppressed.

He didn't expect that where the trident was located, there was actually a Kraken blocking it, and the ancient texts translated by King Kurui were incomplete, and the most important point was ignored in that information.

"Trident!"

Behind Arthur, Orm exclaimed.

Arthur looked in Orm's direction, and in the center of the temple, a golden glow was shining in the sea in the earthquake caused by Kraken's tentacles dancing.

The Neptune Trident was held in the hands of the remains of the Sea Emperor who had weathered into bones, the evidence of the king of the seven seas.

Orm turned into lightning and rushed towards the trident.

But Arthur did not hesitate and continued to rush towards the bitter Namor.

Two brothers...

Two options.
