Amidst a raging storm and surging waves,
a massive freighter slowly sank into the dark, deep waters, as if being dragged down by a gigantic figure from below.
Meanwhile, in a helicopter high above the ocean, Sebastian, Tony, Reed, and Black Bolt watched the sinking freighter below, awaiting their opportunity to launch their attack.
At this time, Sebastian took the soda water handed over by Tony and said, "Tony, how did they deal with the previous trip to Hell's Kitchen?"
"It was going to fail, but they met a four-member heroic organization in Hell's Kitchen, and they are all quite capable fighters.
They joined forces to solve the Hand's conspiracy, completely sealed off the mysterious ruins in the underground space of Hell's Kitchen, and killed and captured all the Hand members there.
As for Elektra of the Shadow Council, she has been confirmed dead, and the Shadow Council has lost one core member."
After taking a sip of soda water, Sebastian said to Tony, "So, that Raina is still quite capable?"
"Not just this time. Later, with Raina's help, Carol and the others solved many crisis incidents and gained the upper hand in the battle with the Shadow Council many times. Recently, Carol and Medusa have applied many times to promote Raina to an official member."
"Did Steve agree?"
"No, Steve said it will take at least six months of observation. In other words, after six months, she will become a member of the Avengers, with the same privileges as any other."
A full-fledged Avengers member possesses unparalleled authority, allowing them to mobilize the power of the Avengers to handle a wide range of matters. Of course, for Sebastian and Tony, this was not much of a concern. The power they could wield far surpassed the power granted by the Avengers, so there was no need for such a move.
After a moment's thought, Sebastian said to Tony, "Tony, I am sensing something is wrong here, but I do not know where exactly. You should keep an eye on Raina for now."
"Of course, I will do it even if you do not say it."
As soon as the two men finished speaking, Namor's voice rang through their communicators.
"Everyone, get ready to begin the operation."
Upon hearing this, everyone glanced at each other and stood up almost simultaneously.
Sebastian's wand emerged from his right hand, chanting a series of incomprehensible incantations, resembling the cry of a dolphin or the surging of water, chanted in the ancient language of Atlantis.
A blue mist of light emanated from the wand, splitting into four streams that flowed into the bodies of Sebastian and the other three.
Soon, Sebastian felt a tingling sensation in his neck, hands, and feet. Soon, gill-like organs sprouted from his cheeks, and thin webbed skin formed between the fingers of his hands and the toes of his feet, resembling an Atlantean. It was not just Sebastian; Black Bolt, Reed, and Tony beside him all felt the same transformation.
Looking at his transformed limbs, Tony said helplessly, "Actually, I do not need this magic. My armor is fully resistant to water pressure, and I can fight underwater."
"Combat is inevitable. If your armor is broken, it is going to be troublesome. After all, your Mark Deep suit is not made of adamantium or vibranium, so it is not particularly durable."
Shrugging, Tony said, "Never mind. It will not hurt anyway. It is the same as wearing the armor."
With that, Tony immediately stepped back and stood at the rear of the helicopter. A golden and blue suit of armor suddenly covered Tony, quickly encasing him in armor.
"Let us go, everyone!"
Tony flung open the cabin door, and the wind and rain outside immediately poured in violently.
Tony jumped first, his hands and feet igniting with repulsor flames as he plummeted towards the water below, disappearing into the waves.
Seeing Tony's actions, Reed smiled, curled up into a ball, and leaped in as well. Black Bolt folded his arms across his chest and plummeted downwards. Sebastian, once again, transformed into a puff of black smoke, following Black Bolt into the water.
As Sebastian gradually adjusted to his gills and the underwater environment, he spotted Tony, holding Black Bolt and Reed in each hand. Even with the same abilities as an Atlantean, able to move and survive underwater, they still could not match the speed of Tony's suit underwater.
Tony nodded to Sebastian and led Black Bolt and Reed toward their target location.
Meanwhile, Sebastian, dissolving into a puff of black smoke, followed closely behind.
Meanwhile, from the cruise ship, which had just touched the seabed, Namor's Atlantean soldiers unloaded a large amount of packaged cargo and placed it on the sea beasts they had brought with them, preparing to take them to Inhuman Nation for transfer.
But at this moment, Namor sensed a murderous intent directed at him. Turning his head, he saw Attuma and Tiger Shark, along with a large number of Atlantean rebels, surrounding the area and advancing on Namor.
Undeterred, Namor, holding the trident that was a testament to his kingship, led the charge before Attuma and Tiger Shark, demanding, "Attuma, are you here to surrender?"
"Namor, you half-blooded bastard, you have no right to be the King of Atlantis. I come here to protect the legitimacy of Atlantis and eliminate you, the bastard who has defiled it!"
Growing up, Namor had been called a bastard countless times, and he had learned to suppress his anger over the years, and this time was no different. Despite his inner fury, Namor remained calm. With a slight wave of his trident, a surging undercurrent surged forward, unexpectedly surrounding Attuma and the others.
It must be said that while Namor is indeed a hybrid of Atlantean and human, this mixed bloodline has a magical effect on him, granting him a powerful physique, the ability to fly, and the power to control water. These are powers that modern pure-blooded Atlanteans lack, and they are the primary reason why he, through his mixed bloodline, was able to become the king of Atlantis.
If Attuma were not a leader among Atlanteans, possessing an extremely powerful physique that even surpasses Namor's, he would never have been able to compete with Namor for so long.
"Since you are here, do not leave. I have prepared a grand welcome for you today!"
Namor finished speaking, and four figures descended from above, vaguely surrounding Attuma and Tiger Shark.
Now that is perfect time to say:
Illuminati, assemble!
