Chapter 285: Aaron is the Center of the World, the Sea Collapsed!
Although the Amazon Warriors were brave in battle and were even the Divine Warriors chosen by Zeus,
they were not gods after all. They could certainly swim, but fighting underwater was a fantasy.
However, this was not difficult for Aaron.
Not to mention the power of the Vanir, who were also masters of storms and oceans, and the power of the Primordial Giants, who controlled the sea, which he had obtained long ago.
Even without using his authority over the ocean, he had ten thousand ways to level the sea.
"I say: All my Amazons shall be like fish, able to freely traverse the waters, breathe freely, and ignore the 'Power of Water'."
Aaron spoke lightly, and these seemingly ordinary words exuded a rule-level power.
This power, divided into thousands upon thousands, surged into the Amazon Warriors under Aaron's direct or indirect control, whether on Paradise Island or beyond.
The power of God bestowed upon them the ability to traverse the four seas and view the ocean as flat ground.
In the minds of all Amazons, they vaguely perceived the changes in their bodies.
Looking at the boundless sea, which contained endless waves,
they had a misconception that the sea seemed to be their home?
They had an urge to jump directly into the water, but they forcibly controlled this "delusion."
Aaron did not explain but continued to command:
"I say, the sea shall open a wide road for us to the Kingdom of Atlantis, and endless sea beasts shall play a triumphal song for the army."
As soon as he finished speaking,
the boundless, bottomless sea directly in front of the army seemed to be torn apart by a mighty force, and billions of tons of seawater automatically separated, forming an underwater canyon passage hundreds of meters wide, from shallow to deep!
The ground was so vast and dry, it hardly looked like it had been submerged in seawater for hundreds of millions of years.
And the giant curtains of seawater on both sides stood there, defying gravity and violating the laws of physics, like protective barriers.
And between those curtains of seawater,
there were sea snakes, sharks, dolphins, and even whales arranged neatly, like an army being reviewed, or a band being inspected, all orderly and watching the crowd.
Dolphins displayed their singing, whales chirped happily, and even the voiceless sharks tried their best to open and close their mouths, as if unwilling to be left out, offering their unique voices to everyone.
"Oh my god, this is simply a miracle!"
"Is Aaron really not a god? No, even a god couldn't achieve this!"
"Zeus, Poseidon... they aren't even fit to carry Aaron's shoes!"
"..."
This scene overturned everyone's imagination. Some elders had experienced the horrors of the ancient war.
However, even the most heroic and skilled gods did not display power as shocking as Aaron's.
When Aaron spoke, it was like the "Word of God" in human mouths; a single sentence could shake the great power of nature, making the entire world operate according to Aaron's command.
Aaron was the center of the world, the supreme ruler of all beings!
What was even more exciting was that,
Aaron was also Paradise Island's son-in-law. If he wished, all of Paradise Island would be at his disposal.
Perhaps one day, they would be as fortunate as Artemisto catch Aaron's eye, becoming true women of God and gaining supreme power!
Fanaticism, worship, madness!
The Amazon women looked at Aaron with undisguised admiration and eagerness in their eyes.
Hippolyta and Antiope exchanged glances, seeing shock and pleasant surprise in each other's eyes.
Indeed, only fools would choose carefully; the wise always go all-in!
They had bet correctly!
Although the path to Atlantis was already flat and clear, Aaron was still not satisfied.
It was too far to walk.
"I say, there shall be an automatic escalator in the passage leading to Atlantis, made of walkable clouds."
Automatic escalator? Clouds?
Where would the electricity in the sky come from? Could clouds even be stepped on?
They weren't all equipped with the Lasso of Truth!
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
However, a strange thing happened:
As Aaron's holy word was uttered, the sea of clouds from tens of thousands of feet high automatically descended, transforming into a cloud road hundreds of meters wide within the passage, leading to its depths.
Moreover, the clouds continued to undulate, moving forward, truly extraordinary!
"Let's go!"
Aaron stepped out first, his foot landing on the invisible clouds, yet it felt like stepping on solid ground. He was thus carried by the clouds, flying into the distance.
How could a sea of clouds be so inconvenient?
As long as one's imagination was vast, clouds could bear tons of weight!
Aaron said so!
Diana, Circe, and the other women followed Aaron.
The clouds easily bore their weight, carrying them forward automatically.
Seeing this,
tens of thousands of Amazon Warriors, led by Hippolyta, carefully and astonishingly stepped onto the sea of clouds.
Some even cautiously stepped on it, finding it soft and fluffy, yet surprisingly sturdy and durable.
They didn't understand the principle, but they were greatly astonished.
Please give flowers.
Perhaps in front of Aaron, there was no such thing as "impossible"!
All physical logic and mathematical principles became a joke.
He was the sole creator of all rules in this world!
God, so great!
And at the continuous end of the cloud road,
which was also the end of the underwater passage,
lay the oldest kingdom in this world—Atlantis!
Atlanna was still desperately trying to prevent the revenge war initiated by the Senate.
Large numbers of troops gathered in a mighty procession.
The most advanced underwater fighter jets, the Great White Shark fleet, the Hammerhead Shark squad—
and of course, the Azure Dragon, which originally belonged to the King but was now under the command of the Senate President.
The Senate President looked at this grand army with smug satisfaction.
Although the fragmented Atlantis had suffered a great loss of strength, in terms of army size, it was inferior to the highly prolific Saltwater Kingdom, and in terms of close-combat elites, it was not as good as the criminal descendant Xebel Kingdom.
But they still possessed the most advanced technology and the bravest army.
In terms of true strength, the Kingdom of Atlantis was number one among the seven kingdoms—well, excluding the Trench.
With Atlantis's full national strength deployed, a mere Paradise Island was nothing to worry about!
They were just a bunch of landlubbers; one wave would probably wash them away.
In this battle, the advantage was ours!
He couldn't imagine how Atlantis could lose.
Of course,
all of this was based on the situation before the underwater passage appeared.
Just as he was still reviewing the troops,
the sea let out a rumbling roar, the water pressure became chaotic, and underwater currents surged wildly, almost scattering the army.
The Senate President looked angrily at his disorganized army, which had failed to even set out, and was about to order them to reorganize.
However, at this moment,
the sky fell!
No, the sea collapsed!
Everyone simultaneously looked towards the area outside the kingdom.
That place, once filled with endless sea, was now forcibly separated by some power, forming a wide avenue!
Moreover, the Great White Shark Unit and other marine creatures suddenly broke free from the Atlanteans' restraints and actually ran to the sides of the passage to line up... and sing?
The Azure Dragon was no exception.
It directly tossed off the old man on its head and led the singing.
The Senate President, disheveled, crawled out of the ocean current, staring blankly at this scene.
Then,
they saw a mass of endless white clouds covering the passage.
"By Poseidon, I must be dreaming again!"
Chapter 286: The True Purpose of the Underworld Cloth, the Disaster of Atlantis
"Is this still the sea? Why does it feel like we've come to the sky?"
"Atlantis... flew into the sky? Or, did the sky fall?"
Could it be that the great Sea King Poseidon has descended upon the ocean once more?"
"This looks more like a feat that only the king of the gods, Zeus, could accomplish, doesn't it?"
The Atlanteans were abuzz with discussions about this terrifying sight.
Although Atlanteans also possess the power to control the ocean,
in some parallel universes, they even once unleashed massive waves to engulf continents and destroy surface dwellers.
But in reality, without the golden trident, they could at most stir up a hundred-meter wave to flood coastal cities.
They are not gods; they cannot comprehend the might of a god.
Even the golden trident cannot be perfectly used by just anyone to unleash its divine power.
The Atlanteans did not realize what awaited them.
The Senate President vaguely sensed that something was amiss.
This scene resembled both Poseidon's personal arrival and Zeus's descent.
It couldn't be that all the gods were simultaneously visiting the ocean, could it?
Beside him, Atlanna, who was being strictly "protected" by several guards, looked at the straight passage, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
"This direction…"
Atlanna's pupils contracted; wasn't this the direction she came from with "007"?
Could it be an attack from Themyscira?
No, how could Themyscira possess such power?
Aren't they all landlubbers?
The sea is the homeland of the Atlanteans, the paradise of Poseidon's descendants.
The Amazon Warriors might be brave, but in the sea, it is ultimately their domain!
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Atlanteans are already masters of controlling the ocean; how could the people of Themyscira master the power of water more skillfully than Atlantis?"
Atlanna was unwilling to believe it.
However,
when a thick, poetic cloud mass surged forward,
the Atlanteans strained to look into the distance, only to vaguely see a group of fully armed female warriors within the clouds.
They were like celestial soldiers and generals from the heavenly court in legends, riding white clouds to conquer demons and monsters.
Wait, am I the demon or monster?
Atlanna's face changed dramatically; she saw clearly that the figures above were Amazon Warriors!
The man leading them was Aaron, the mysterious being who had caused their diplomatic team to lose all courage back then!
"It's the Amazons! Everyone, prepare for battle!"
The Senate President also clearly recognized the identity of these uninvited guests.
Amidst his shock, he did not forget to mobilize troops, preparing to fight to the Death against these invaders.
The Senate President was both terrified and enraged. I haven't even gone looking for trouble with you, yet you've come to attack us first?
This is truly an outrageous reversal!
We are clearly the victims!
"Atlanna, these are the 'innocent people' you spoke of. Not only do they not apologize to us Atlanteans, but they are also actively invading the ocean!"
The Senate President directed his anger at Atlanna, perhaps hoping to lessen his fear of the Amazons' peculiar methods.
Yes, he was afraid.
The various methods that split the sea and caused all living beings to sing a song of triumph could only have been achieved by the Sea King who wielded the golden trident a thousand years ago.
No, perhaps even he couldn't do it.
The sea is so vast, so untamed; they can only barely make it throw a small tantrum, but this scene… the sea is so docile, it's practically actively accommodating them!
Atlanna retorted defiantly, "Lord Senate President, are the armies you've gathered just for playing house? Is it only permissible for you to attack them, and not for them to discover it and attack you first?"
"So, your words confirm that you are the traitor who leaked the information?"
The Senate President said sinisterly, "Atlanna, your loyalty is misplaced! After this battle, you will face your true destiny."
"Atlantis has no need for traitors!"
After speaking, he continued to give orders to others.
"Immediately notify the Xebel Kingdom, the Trench Kingdom, and the Saltwater Kingdom! The Amazonshave gone mad; they are attempting to dominate the four seas!"
The Senate President instructed his trusted aide to pilot the spaceship and leave at top speed.
Aside from these few kingdoms,
the Trench are incapable of communication, having completely degenerated into beasts that only know slaughter and reproduction.
The Desert Kingdom has regressed to the point where they cannot touch the sea, making them even more landlocked than landlubbers.
Although they nominally still obey the commands of Atlantis, in reality, they have long since listened to orders but not declarations, and it's even less likely they would come to support this battle.
They would die if they entered the water.
The last kingdom, having rebelled by forging the dark trident, was defeated and annihilated by the Sea King of that era, and sealed as a kingdom of the undead.
Of the seven kingdoms, only the three kingdoms of Xebel can now quickly provide support to Atlantis.
Among them, the Trench Kingdom is absorbed in music, its military preparations neglected, and can at most be considered an auxiliary.
The Senate President added, "Tell Nereus that if he is willing to provide support, a future descendant of the Atlantean Queen can marry his child, and we will share the name of Atlantis!"
Atlanna wanted to say that she couldn't possibly marry and have children, that his plan was fundamentally impossible.
However, the Senate President completely ignored her.
He personally led the army into battle.
Although the Amazons' displayed abilities were surprising, he still believed he wouldn't lose.
The ocean is vast, a million times larger than Themyscira.
The kingdom of Atlantis, occupying the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, although divided into seven, still possessed a sufficiently vast territory to nurture Atlantean citizens.
Therefore, even if they were only one-seventh of their original strength, in terms of army size, they were still at least five times that of the Amazons!
Even if five men were exchanged for one, they would still achieve ultimate victory!
This is a sure win; we can do it!
The Senate President mobilized the army to attack, preparing to use the territorial advantage to force the Amazons into the sea to fight them.
After all, ordinary Atlanteans, apart from royal family members, do not possess the ability to live on the surface and can only rely on combat suits.
As long as the landlubber Amazons could be lured into the sea, they could easily deal with them.
He saw the mysterious man on the cloud layer wave his hand.
"They're coming!"
The Senate President became wary, his hopeful gaze watching the Amazon Warriors plunge into the sea one by one like dumplings.
His lips were already curled up high, completely unable to be suppressed; with just this one action, they had won eighty percent of the victory!
"Hahaha, you had a path to heaven but didn't take it, a gate to hell but insisted on entering! Warriors, beat the drowning dogs!"
The Senate President was overjoyed, holding his tridentand charging forward.
However, just as he had rushed a few tens of meters, he couldn't help but stop, "Impossible! You… are you really Amazons?"
The imagined scene of constant splashing did not occur. The group of Amazon Warriors now resembled mermaids; the sea was like land to them… their underwater mobility was even more skilled than that of Atlanteans.
At first glance, it seemed as if the Amazons were the true descendants of Atlantis!
Hiss~
"Oh no, could it be that Poseidon went berserk and ravaged Themyscira?"
The Senate President wanted to cry but had no tears.
This is unreasonable!
He was still in a daze,
and the other Atlanteans were also stunned for a long while,
but the Amazons displayed astonishing speed. They were more agile and swift than on land, and powerful. Using the power of water, each one was like an underwater fighter jet, tearing through the water and directly plunging into the Atlantean formation.
They took down one Atlantean with each spear.
Sometimes they controlled the water currents to disperse dense enemy formations.
Even the great white sharks and sea dragons that were singing earlier suddenly attacked, striking their former masters with heavy blows.
Chaos, everything was in chaos!
Was I really wrong?
No, it's the world's fault!
The Senate President's face was ferocious; he still had a chance. As long as the support from the other three kingdoms arrived, these mere Amazons would be like turtles in a jar.
"Hold steady, everyone hold steady, our reinforcements are coming soon!"
"Descendants of Poseidon, let these damned bastards see what it means to be children of the sea!"
"We are the spirits of the water!"
The Senate President boosted morale to others through the army channel.
At the same time, he did not forget to issue orders to control five-person squad level combat units, attempting to mobilize each squad to act according to his commands.
As a master of micro-management, the Senate Presidenthad been immersed in this for over a century; how rich was his experience?
However, precisely because of his coordination, at the moment the already chaotic army became even more disorganized,
a large mass of floating seaweed suddenly grew thousands of times thicker and longer,
the insignificant waterweed transformed into a deep-sea python, and in an instant, it coiled around the Senate President, tightening its grip.
No matter how he struggled, he couldn't resist the might of the water python, and in an instant, he was dragged into the seaweed forest, never to be seen again.
Strangely, because he no longer had the opportunity to control the army, the chaotic army actually regained some order.
But no matter how brave the Atlanteans were, facing the Amazons, who were bolstered with many buffs, and Aaron's women,
they were still struggling in vain.
Pamela's action was just the beginning.
Diana and Donna flew into the sky,
the Lasso of Truth and the Lasso of Magic were like Nezha's Universe Ring, enlarging and plunging into the sea, constantly stirring, creating two giant underwater tornadoes that completely dispersed the Atlantean army.
Yamashiro An and Shitahira Reika, wearing their divine cloths, transformed into turrets, with streaks of brilliant golden light and purple light cutting through the sea, tearing apart one spaceship after another.
Especially Shitahira Reika, wearing Hades's divine cloth,
she originally chose it because of its resurrection ability, but resurrection was merely the most basic ability included with the Underworld Cloth.
The true primary ability of this Underworld Cloth was Death, bestowing Death upon others!
With a casual wave, she created a giant purple energy bomb hundreds of meters in diameter.
With a gentle push, it evaporated millions of tons of seawater.
All living beings within it were annihilated and died, with an efficiency that made her number one on the scene!
Chapter 287: Selling Oneself for Glory, Atlanna's Shame
Shitahira Reika's psychology was complex.
She didn't understand why she chose the Hades Cloth because she wanted to save people.
But why did saving people lead to killing their entire families?
"They are enemies. They want to destroy the peace of Paradise Island and ruin everything Aaron has. They all deserve to die!"
Shitahira Reika hypnotized herself like this.
Aaron glanced at her and found that Shitahira Reika's mental state was quite good.
Perhaps having gone through the brutal selection of gantz, she was not averse to killing, at least not showing any 'saintly' mercy towards these enemies.
Her adaptability was particularly astonishing.
On the other hand, Yamashiro An...
Aaron looked over.
She was wearing the athena cloth. Although this Cloth often served as a protected object among the Saints and rarely displayed the true power of a main god...
When Aaron first created this Cloth, he didn't intend to create a fragile healer who only provided buffs.
Perhaps realizing that her enemy-elimination efficiency couldn't compare to the Underworld Cloth, Yamashiro Anchanged her approach. She occasionally released a golden light beam, but more often, she was busy restoring the Amazons' injuries and empowering them.
Aaron watched for a while, then decided to properly discipline Yamashiro An with a big stick after the battle to make her remember.
The athena cloth is not a healer's outfit.
Even a super-healer like Shitahira Reika became the MVP of the entire battle, achieving godlike kills. What were you, a slightly smaller mid-tier healer, thinking?
Not enough output!
In this battle,
Artemis and Circe's performances were remarkable.
The former was a close-combat warrior, inherently short-ranged, but her efficiency far exceeded that of ordinary Amazons.
Circe, on the other hand, often launched stealthy sneak attacks, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, maximizing her 'sneaky' attributes.
Aaron nodded with satisfaction at the sight.
Being sneaky is good. If he could, Aaron would also like to be sneaky for once, but his strength wouldn't allow it.
He thought about being sneaky in his heart, but his Super Brain told him to use Super Strength, and then he tore the enemy to shreds with one punch.
He was clearly the one with the true soul of a sneaky person, yet unknowingly, he had become the One-Punch Man type he most disliked.
Aaron sighed,
His gaze passed over Gwen Stacy, who was drawing comics and using the fourth wall to attack,
And then landed on Atlanna.
After the mysterious disappearance of the Senate President, this Queen of Atlantis finally found an opportunity to persuade the leaderless 'guards' and forcefully took control of the other Senate members.
Subsequently, a rarely assertive Atlanna used water currents to transmit her voice, delivering the most helpless declaration in the most authoritative tone:
"By the name of the Queen of Atlantis, I declare that all Atlanteans immediately lay down their weapons and unconditionally surrender to the Amazon, to Aaron!"
Splash—
Despite Atlantis being unilaterally crushed, they still had not lost their will to fight.
When Atlanna's voice spread throughout the entire sea, a clamor erupted.
Are you crazy? We're in the thick of battle, and you're directly shouting to lay down weapons?
Even surrendering doesn't follow this procedure!
Who knows if the enemy is willing to accept surrender!
Atlanna's declaration only temporarily reduced the intensity of the war.
The truly decisive factor was Aaron.
He raised one hand, and the Amazon warriors stopped their sharp attacks in unison.
Diana and Donna also stopped their washing machine-like movements.
Circe flickered back to Aaron's side to guard him.
The two healers, one large and one small, stopped and withdrew the energy they were accumulating.
Only then did the Atlanteans sigh in relief, dropping their weapons and surrendering.
Atlanna visibly let out a long breath, "Warriors, you have all been deceived by the Senate President. This should have been an avoidable war. We have no need to fight Paradise Island!"
Atlanna was explaining,
But her explanation was largely irrelevant.
The Atlanteans did not stop the war because of her command, but because of Aaron's decree.
Atlanna suppressed the fear in her heart and came before Aaron, speaking uneasily:
"Your Majesty Aaron, King of Paradise Island..."
"No need for pleasantries. Get straight to the point. What price are you willing to pay for us to stop?"
Aaron didn't bother with Atlanna's idle talk. Even if she was a very beautiful woman, Aaron wouldn't back down just because of her words.
Atlanna pursed her lips, still holding onto a sliver of hope: "Your Majesty, actually, we didn't want to..."
"Don't tell me again that you didn't want to start a war. I don't care what you thought; I only look at what you did."
"Unfortunately, you chose war, so we came."
Aaron interrupted Atlanna, asserting forcefully, "The fact that you can stand here is precisely because you didn't want to, so I am willing to give you another chance."
"Don't squander the opportunity I give you. It is very precious and concerns the survival of all Atlantis."
Atlanna suddenly realized. Yes, it wasn't about what they wanted or didn't want now, but what they should do to appease the wrath of this God-King.
Atlanna was very conflicted. She didn't know what immense price she would have to pay to save Atlantis.
Even though the Amazons suffered no casualties, Atlantishad paid a huge price.
Regardless, they initiated this unjust war. Even if they ended up being the ones who paid the price, the nature of the war had not changed.
As Atlanna was struggling, a faint female voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
She subconsciously looked at Gwen Stacy, who, with only her eyes and mouth visible, gave her a kind smile, tinged with a hint of seduction.
Atlanna's face instantly flushed. How could this be? She... she had resisted precisely because she didn't want to be forced into marriage.
But, if the other party was Aaron... Atlanna looked deeply at Aaron. She should have hated this man who brought such great casualties to her people, yet she found that she was so... cheap.
Not only did she not resent him, but she even felt a fondness for him.
Aaron was so handsome, so domineering, so powerful... a little barbaric wouldn't matter, right?
No, how could I think that way? Am I inherently a 'cheap goods'?
No!!!
Atlanna was ashamed.
As if possessed, she waved away her army and stood firmly before Aaron.
"Spare Atlantis. I... I am yours!"
Atlanna couldn't believe such pathetic words actually came from her mouth.
But now... she had to accept the fact that she was not a strong-willed woman, but a 'cheap' person.
Since that was the case... then she would abandon her principles and face it openly... Chapter 288: Power of the Sea King, Forbidden God
The Royal Palace of Atlantis was quite luxurious.
Even the large bed inside was exceptionally good.
White, soft, and big.
And the service attitude was also very impressive.
As soon as Aaron spoke, Atlanna would cooperate with all her might, to say she was at his beck and call would not be an exaggeration.
Overnight,
Aaron tried three 'channels', and Atlanna gritted her teeth and cooperated immediately each time.
For this, Aaron gave a five-star rating.
Truly worthy of being the queen of an ancient kingdom. Her service awareness and attitude were top-notch.
Aaron let out a long breath and patted Atlanna's casually draped golden hair.
"Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?"
After these three philosophical questions, Aaron only felt his consciousness gradually sublimate.
Everything seemed to become uninteresting.
His right hand subconsciously refined Atlanna's abilities and characteristics.
[Power of the Sea King: Similar abilities detected and merged (Power of the Vanir, Marvel Poseidon's Power, Water Element Control, etc.). You have gained all power related to water. In the domain of water, your strength will increase by thirty percent.]
Just then, Pamela's soft voice came from outside the door,
"Dear, the leaders of the Xebel Kingdom, Trench Kingdom, and Saltwater Kingdom want to see Queen Atlanna."
Aaron snapped back to reality, his spirit instantly refreshed, and he regained his vigor, "Tell them to wait. Just say Atlanna is busy with important matters."
Pamela vaguely heard a gasp, followed by the sound of an orchestra.
Pamela sighed, "But their armies are outside..."
"That old man, before he died, sent people to contact the three kingdoms for aid. Now they are coming fiercely..."
Seemingly afraid Aaron would misunderstand, Pamelaclarified, "My meaning is, should we keep them all here?"
She spoke very euphemistically, yet Atlanna, who was currently 'eating deoxyribose', gasped again,
"No... no!"
"Want to speak for them? Then you'll have to work hard."
"How about this, let's start with a hundred 'pulls'. Not one less!"
"If you can get a 'double yolk', then this matter will be up to you."
Pamela clearly felt the seawater becoming turbulent.
She even smelled the salty scent, the scent of the sea... "Truly the Queen of the Sea, merely a mental fluctuation can cause ocean waves..."
Pamela sighed, listened for a while, then walked out with a blush on her face.
One hour later,
Atlantis Crystal Palace, Royal Reception Room.
The King of the Saltwater Kingdom was a humanoid crab. His hands had completely atrophied into crab claws. Although he still had a human form, both his facial features and other parts were quite similar to a crab.
The exoskeleton armor on his body looked even more like a composite of crab shells.
The King of the Trench Kingdom was half-human, half-fish, with a human upper body and a fish lower body, somewhat resembling a mermaid, yet they had dense fish scales, and even their bodies were green.
From their appearance alone, it was impossible to discern their age.
As for the Xebel Kingdom, it was Nereus, whom Aaronwas familiar with. However, compared to Nereus during Arthur's time, he was quite young at this moment, in the prime of his life, and his temper was clearly more fiery than his future self.
"Why hasn't Atlanna arrived yet? Has Atlantis been completely conquered by the Amazons?"
"How long has it been? Less than a day, and Atlantis, which controls the Atlantic, has been defeated by the Amazons?!"
Nereus's tone was full of doubt.
No matter what he thought, how could Atlantis, which could move freely in the sea, lose to a group of 'landlubbers'?
When he first received the Senate President's plea for help, his first thought was: Has Atlantis weakened to this extent?
If the Amazons could cross the sea and defeat Atlantis, then couldn't Nereus also take its place?
Honestly, he had always thought the distress call was fake; it just didn't seem possible no matter how he thought about it.
He was young and had only been married for a few years. His wife had given birth to a red-haired girl who perfectly inherited his genes, possessing the royal power to control water from birth.
He named her Mela, a synonym for beauty and power.
Compared to playing house with Atlantis, he preferred to spend his life with his wife and child in a warm home.
But unfortunately, the old man's envoys were blind and insisted that he gather the troops to help.
Nereus was annoyed, so he gathered the Xebel army, preparing to teach the old man a lesson.
But who knew,
After he arrived, he saw the armies of the Saltwater Kingdom and the Trench Kingdom.
Then, upon reaching Atlantis, the Amazons were actually active underwater!
Moreover, Atlantis seemed to have already been defeated, cowering before the Amazons as if they had seen ghosts.
Their decadent appearance as defeated soldiers could not be faked.
Atlantis was truly defeated!!
Nereus was unsure for a moment and, along with the other two Kings, decided to meet Atlanna to assess the situation.
Who knew she didn't care about them at all, leaving them in this hall for over an hour!
This was truly too much!
Nereus, in a fit of anger, was about to cause a commotion.
However, at this moment,
Atlanna, in a submissive posture, daintily walked into the hall with a stranger.
"~Atlanna!"
Nereus's expression froze, and he looked at the overly handsome man in front of him with suspicion.
The King of the Trench Kingdom, who revered art, couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing Aaron, "What a perfect work of art! I always thought perfection was just an adjective, but now I see perfection itself!"
The King of the Saltwater Kingdom said with some jealousy, "What's the use of being good-looking? Only a powerful body is the most perfect!"
He waved his huge pincers, which could easily snap a person's body when they opened and closed!
In fact, many citizens of the Saltwater Kingdom had even more severe degradation than him.
Many had their lower bodies completely degenerated into crab legs.
Some even completely became large crabs.
However, their situation was better than that of the Trench; although they had degenerated, they still possessed considerable rationality, not only having extremely powerful physiques but also being able to craft their own equipment. In addition, their reproductive capacity was greatly enhanced.
They considered themselves a perfect race, possessing not only the powerful reproductive ability of the Trenchbut also inheriting the strength and "wisdom" of traditional Atlanteans.
In Aquaman 1, he led the Saltwater Kingdom to resist the combined forces of King Orm, Nereus, and the Trench Kingdom without falling behind.
Aaron glanced at the King of the Saltwater Kingdom, and his cold, emotionless pupils instantly made his beady eyes retract into their sunken sockets.
Even his head almost shrank into his crab-like armor.
The King of the Saltwater Kingdom obediently closed his mouth and said nothing more.
Perhaps due to severe degradation, his bestial side accounted for a large proportion.
In that instant when he met Aaron's gaze, he felt a genetic sense of oppression.
It was as if if he said another word, Death would come!
Every cell in his body trembled; that was fear.
In a trance, he seemed to see a forbidden god from ancient times!
Chapter 289: Billions of Tons of Power from the Four Seas, Aaron is the True King!
"What are you doing? This isn't what you said before?"
Nereus noticed the King of the Saltwater Kingdom's excessive silence and couldn't help but whisper.
"Didn't you say you wanted to let him know the glory of Atlantis? You are the strongest Atlantean..."
"Enough, stop talking!"
The King of the Saltwater Kingdom jumped up as if his foot had been stepped on and retorted loudly.
"Did I say such a thing? What a joke! Who doesn't know that I advocate peace and love life the most? How could I be such a fool who only knows how to fight and is full of muscles?"
He stared fiercely at Nereus with an unkind gaze, "Your memory must have a problem. I know some great memory recovery methods, maybe I can try them on you."
Nereus was stunned. Just an hour ago, when he was talking to the other party, this big crab still looked fierce and menacing.
He said he was going to give the mastermind a taste of their own medicine.
And this is the taste you gave them?
He wanted to speak again,
But the crab pointed its large pincer at Nereus, then turned its head to look at Aaron and Atlanna,
"He's slandering me! He's slandering me!! I swear I didn't say anything. If I'm lying, then... then may I be cursed to have brainless sons!"
Oh, this... your children are already brainless!
Nereus slandered him internally. It wouldn't be surprising if these degenerated beasts turned into monsters like the Trench.
Perhaps in a few hundred years, the Saltwater Kingdomwould truly degenerate into a group of real crabs, and one more name would be lost from the Seven Kingdoms.
Just like the Desert Kingdom, everyone knew it still existed, but it was like it was dead and nobody cared.
"Alright, everyone be quiet!"
Aaron had no time to waste with the big crab. His gaze swept over the three of them one by one.
Including Atlanna, these were the only four socially intact nations remaining among the Seven Kingdoms.
Hmm, the Saltwater Kingdom was at most half of one.
The King of the Saltwater Kingdom immediately quieted down. He crossed his pincers on his thighs, sitting upright and still, like an obedient student.
The King of the Trench Kingdom also sat elegantly. He believed that such a perfect Aaron must also be a refined person.
Nereus frowned slightly, but seeing the big crab and the Trench King both choose to obey, he could only suppress his displeasure and prepare to act according to the situation.
"Your Majesty, you speak, and we will listen!"
The big crab said ingratiatingly.
The sense of oppression born from the depths of its genes had disappeared, and feeling an unprecedented sense of ease, he was even more subservient to Aaron.
Within the four seas, the strong are revered!
This was a jungle society in a marine setting; the citizens of the Saltwater Kingdom only worshipped the strong.
Even King Orm's mobilization of three nations' forces could not make them submit.
But Aaron, with just a glance, achieved what King Orm had yearned for.
"I will only say one thing: from now on, Atlantis will have the final say in the four seas. To be precise, Atlanna will have the final say. Who has an objection?"
Aaron's gaze swept over the three of them, and his unquestionable tone made all three change their expressions.
Nereus subconsciously looked at the big crab. Of course, he wanted to object, but he had a brain; charging into battle was something he could do, but there was no need to do it now.
Because someone would charge faster than him.
He knew very well that although the Saltwater Kingdomrecognized the leadership of Atlantis, that was only superficial respect. In reality, once certain interests were involved, they wouldn't even acknowledge Atlantis.
This big crab would definitely explode!
However,
The King of the Saltwater Kingdom clearly hesitated for a moment. He indeed almost exploded, but... he subconsciously glanced at Aaron, met those eyes again, and shuddered, feeling a chill shoot up his spine to the heavens!
"Of course! This is only right and proper. After all, Atlantisis the main kingdom, and we are all Atlanteans, so naturally, we should all be governed by Queen Atlanna."
"Oh no, look at me, I should say... Your Majesty!"
The King of the Saltwater Kingdom seemed to be addressing Atlanna, but in reality, he was looking at Aaron with a fawning smile.
However, combined with his peculiar face, this fawning only gave people goosebumps.
The King of the Trench Kingdom glanced at the big crab and hesitated for a moment.
He was not averse to this matter. The Trench Kingdomhad no interest in military affairs and only wanted to live its artistic life.
If calling someone "Your Majesty" could bring long-term peace, it wasn't a bad deal.
He understood that if he dared to object, not to mention Atlantis and the Amazons, the Saltwater Kingdom would be the first to attack him, to make a good impression in front of Aaron.
"I agree. Hail Queen Atlanna, Your Majesty."
The King of the Trench Kingdom at least had more dignity than the big crab; he said it while looking at Atlanna.
Nereus was dumbfounded.
Didn't we agree to advance and retreat together? How did you all surrender in the blink of an eye?
No, what are you afraid of?!
Although Atlantis is strong, facing our three-nation alliance, even with those Amazons who somehow learned to be useful, it's impossible for them to be our opponents.
This is outrageous!
Nereus wasn't stupid; he sensed something unusual about the big crab.
Although he hadn't personally experienced what the other party had, he vaguely sensed that something unknown might have happened to them.
So... he couldn't provoke them, at least not openly confront Aaron.
Nereus said tactfully, "Atlantis is indeed the co-ruler of the Seven Kingdoms; this is unquestionable."
"But... Atlantis has, after all, lost the golden trident, losing its absolute authority to rule the four seas. Even if we are willing to submit, our people, and others..."
Aaron had already guessed their thoughts. After a light chuckle, he gave Atlanna a look.
The latter nodded, took a deep breath.
Recalling the power she gained from eating deoxyribose just now, and Aaron's instructions... Atlanna's expression became firm.
She raised her right hand high,
Instantly, the sea boiled, and the creatures of the vast ocean were enveloped and dominated by a great will. They joyfully performed strange movements towards Atlantis, offering the highest respect to the King of the Sea.
At the same time, because of Atlanna's actions, the entire Atlantic Ocean, and even other sea areas, simultaneously stirred up giant waves.
One hundred thirty-eight billion tons of seawater were controlled by an invisible force, even shaking the Earth itself!
All surface humans were unsettled by the unusual fluctuations of the four seas.
The most profound feeling, however, was experienced by the three, Nereus, who were present.
Their perception of the sea was particularly deep,
They felt the authority of the ocean from Atlanna!
It was as if with just a thought, this ocean would expel the three of them, or even forcefully crush them!
"This... is this the Sea King's power?"
Nereus suddenly stood up, yet he, who prided himself as the strongest warrior, was trembling slightly, as if merely standing subjected him to an unspeakable pressure.
In fact, Nereus couldn't even complete the act of standing. He had barely risen halfway from his seat before he could no longer straighten up.
In front of the King of the Four Seas, merely standing straight was a sin!
Nereus had never seen the true Sea King, but from the fragmented legends of ancient times, he knew that even the most ancient Sea King Poseidon never possessed such immense power.
And Atlanna...
No, the mastermind behind all of this might be Aaron!
Atlanna, that nominal, weak woman, couldn't possibly possess such power.
Even with that power, she still lacked the demeanor and courage befitting a king.
It's Aaron!
Aaron bestowed upon Atlanna the authority over the sea!
Who exactly is he?!
Chapter 290: Everyone Won? The Hostage Crisis
"This is the power of the sea, the divine power of the sea possessed by Sea King Poseidon!"
The King of the Trench Kingdom no longer maintained his previous elegance. He spoke tremblingly, his gaze filled with reverence as he looked at Atlanna.
"Impossible, did Atlanna acquire Poseidon's divine power, or did she awaken the true divine king's power within her bloodline?"
The King of the Saltwater Kingdom pondered with uncertainty, his expression becoming even more respectful and submissive.
Look, even Atlanna, who had awakened Poseidon's divine power, was like a docile cat in front of Aaron.
This immense power, capable of shaking hundreds of billions of tons of seawater, seemed like an insignificant clear pond in front of Aaron.
So what terrifying divine power did Aaron himself possess?
One must know that even the former King of the Sky, Zeus, the king of the gods, did not necessarily have such a great advantage when facing Sea King Poseidon.
Rounding it up, could it be that Aaron was even greater than the former Zeus?
Hiss~ The King of the Saltwater Kingdom grew more and more terrified the more he thought about it, and the more he didn't dare to think about it.
This was not something he should be contemplating; all he needed to do was be loyal! Loyal! And even more loyal!
"It turns out Her Majesty the Queen has already taken charge of the authority of the sea. Even without the golden trident, I will only recognize Her Majesty Queen Atlanna as the King of the Four Seas! The King of All Waters!"
The King of the Saltwater Kingdom immediately pledged his loyalty to Atlanna.
This time, he showed Atlanna enough respect; at least, he didn't look at Aaron when he made this declaration of allegiance.
Well, after all, Atlanna's power far surpassed his. Even the entire Saltwater Kingdom combined would not be enough to resist the towering waves she could effortlessly raise.
Of course, his loyalty to Aaron was irreplaceable, and as things stood, Aaron and Atlanna were one. Being loyal to Atlanna meant being loyal to Aaron.
The King of the Trench Kingdom also quickly reacted. If before he had only thought of peace and had to submit, then now he truly recognized her from the heart!
"I agree! Even if someone else holds the golden tridentnow, I will only recognize Her Majesty Queen Atlanna!"
The golden trident was merely a legend, but Her Majesty Queen Atlanna was right before their eyes.
He estimated that even the power of the golden tridentmight not be as great as Atlanna's.
One was merely an ancient legend, while the other was a living myth. Who was nobler was clear at a glance!
Nereus was truly dumbfounded.
Under Aaron's encouraging gaze, Atlanna took a deep breath, her sharp eyes looking at Nereus.
"King Nereus, do you have any suggestions?"
Nereus snapped out of his daze. Seeing everyone's gaze fall upon him, he only thought for a moment.
In that instant, he thought of many things: Sea King Poseidon, his beautiful newlywed wife, and his red-haired daughter, Mela.
He had also considered leading all the warriors of the Xebel Kingdom to bravely defend the dignity of Atlantis, resisting three kingdoms with one, defeating the allied forces of the three kingdoms, overcoming Atlanna, and then defeating the masterminds, the Amazons and Aaron.
Becoming a hero of Atlantis and reaching the pinnacle of life.
But Nereus only thought about it for less than a second. His body, half-bowed under pressure, smoothly knelt down, just like a vassal state's minister expressing submission to a heavenly kingdom's court.
"Nereus, on behalf of the millions of people of the entire Xebel Kingdom, greets Your Majesty the Queen!"
Resistance was impossible.
Nereus was a smart man. He was a Xebelian, not an Atlantean. What did the glory of Atlantis have to do with him?
Moreover, Atlanna was the legitimate royal family, so it was only right and proper!
It wasn't shameful for him to kneel and show respect!
This magnificent kneeling maneuver stunned the big crab. He had originally wanted to see the other party make a fool of himself, but now he was staring at Nereus, dumbfounded.
The clown was me!
Damn!
Before the big crab could react, the King of the Trench Kingdom also knelt down, sincerely pledging his allegiance.
Damn it, you're all bad people!
Bullying me, this big crab! (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
The King of the Saltwater Kingdom also clumsily knelt down. Because he was too eager, he could only manage to blurt out, "Me too!"
Atlanna glanced at Aaron again. Seeing no prompt, she could only gesture a virtual helping hand according to her original understanding, "Rise, all of you. I hope you can work together to create a glorious Atlantis!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The three stood up simultaneously. At this point, Nereusrecalled the ins and outs of the Amazon invasion he had heard about outside, and his expression subtly shifted.
"Your Majesty, I have a daughter named Mela. Although she is still young, she has been intelligent and well-behaved since childhood, earning the favor of the sea. Moreover, she grew up listening to the legendary stories of Atlantis, and she holds Your Majesty in extremely high regard, considering you her only idol."
"I wonder... if Mela could stay by your side to study, receive the most advanced education, and cultivate a sense of belonging to Atlantis, so that she may contribute to the empire's future greatness."
The King of the Saltwater Kingdom didn't react immediately, but he subconsciously felt that Nereus, that old fox, had ill intentions.
Anything the other party did required extra caution.
But because of excessive degeneration, while gaining powerful reproductive capabilities and physical strength, his brain had also degenerated, and he simply couldn't figure it out.
Then, a thought flashed through his mind, "Me too!"
"I have one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight children, and I am also willing to send my children to Her Majesty's side, to be led by Your Majesty, and to become Your Majesty's most capable generals!"
"They are all powerful warriors, perfectly inheriting my physique, and I believe they will definitely contribute to Atlantis!"
One thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight? Is your wife a sow? No, even a sow wouldn't do!
What, you're crabs? Then never mind.
The King of the Trench Kingdom hesitated to speak. He didn't have any children yet.
They were probably still in the egg stage... What a huge loss!
Should he go back and urge his wife to lay some fish eggs? Regardless of quality, he needed to have some!
Atlanna glanced at Aaron again. She thought these were the hostages he was sending, and initially wanted to say it wasn't necessary, but then she nodded, "Good!"
The big crab smiled.
I have 1888 children, both in quality and quantity. I've won big!
Nereus also smiled.
You fool, mine is a lovely daughter, and her target has never been Atlanna, but Aaron, to keep little Karacompany! What can you compare with me?
Your group of undesirables will only be mounts for my daughter and Kara in the future. Laughable, you want to contend with me? Are you even worthy?
I'm the one who truly won big!
The King of the Trench Kingdom looked troubled. Only I lost!
Aaron sat to Atlanna's right, his expression unchanged. Hmm, everyone won, everyone has a bright future!
Chapter 291: Miss Raven, Kara-A
Image: Raven.
"Little Mela, from now on, this will be your second home."
Hippolyta said softly, pulling a little girl with long red hair, who was already showing signs of being a beauty.
This future Queen of the Sea, Mela, who even had the potential to compete for the title of the most beautiful DC female character, now looked timidly at the unfamiliar Themyscira.
Ordinary Atlanteans cannot survive freely on the surface, but Mela perfectly inherited the royal bloodline. Her potential was even greater than Nereus'.
Even at her young age, she felt no discomfort on the surface.
Although there was a slight adjustment period, it was nothing compared to the fear that a strange environment brought her.
Aaron then walked over, holding little Kara's hand, "Look, from now on she'll be your good friend. Her name is Mela, daughter of the King of Xebel."
Little Kara's sparkling eyes widened, and she greeted her new playmate, who was about the same age as herself, "Hello, I'm Kara-A."
Aaron's mouth twitched, but he didn't correct the mistake in her speech.
He had corrected her more than once, but his total time spent with her was less than a week.
How could he compare to Circe and the others?
Aaron thought it wouldn't be too late to correct Karaagain when she was a little older.
Little Mela looked at Kara nervously, showing a faint smile, "Hello, I'm Mela."
Subsequently,
Mela completely ignored little Kara, instead timidly stealing glances at Aaron from time to time. He was so handsome, even more handsome than her father.
Was he the King her father spoke of, the one she would need to serve her entire life?
"Ahem, from now on, you two get along well. Themyscira and all the Four Seas are your playground, but remember, never set foot on the mainland casually."
Aaron said a few casual words, then handed them over to his mother-in-law to look after.
He had given Atlanna the power of the Sea King, and now Atlanna, even while in Atlantis, could easily sense any fluctuations within the Four Seas.
The sea was Atlanna's eyes, just as plants were Pamela's senses.
Aaron was still not used to taking care of children. Compared to children, he preferred to play adult games.
Returning to his palace, which was, well, his mother-in-law's former territory.
Aaron played a few more games of chess with Gwen Stacy and the others. He really liked the 'horse' piece in chess, and he was very good at 'cannons'.
As the saying goes, three incompetent cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang, yet even when Gwen Stacy and the others teamed up, they still couldn't defeat Aaron. He utterly routed them, leaving them in disarray.
And then, Aaron was chased by Gwen Stacy to find like-minded sisters.
According to Gwen Stacy, Aaron's efficiency was too slow, not even a fraction of what it was in the Marvel Universe.
After all this time, he had only managed to get Atlanna, and even then, they had actively delivered her to him.
As for Kara and Mela... they were only a few years old.
Gwen Stacy even explicitly told Aaron to come back in thirteen years, to go straight to the point.
What else could Aaron do? He could only go to other worlds first.
After bidding farewell to Diana and the others, Aaronreopened the portal.
Originally, he had wanted to go to the Marvel Universeand melt Stanley outside the fourth wall.
But now, he temporarily changed his plan.
He would go find some "helpers" first.
This time, Aaron did not go to worlds outside of DC.
He casually found a normal universe and entered it.
When he reappeared, Aaron hadn't even had time to observe his surroundings when he saw a girl with long purple hair, shimmering in the sunlight, looking at him with wary eyes.
She wore dark purple clothing, and there was a strange tattoo on her forehead, like a dark red gem, making one wonder if she was a descendant of Erlang Shen.
The girl's skin was quite pale, but her face was delicate. Although she was young, she possessed a unique beauty.
From her, Aaron could feel a considerable magical fluctuation, as well as an extremely evil dimensional magic aura.
Undoubtedly, her power came from demons!
But she rarely seemed unaffected by the demonic aura; instead, she was desperately suppressing her demonic powers, significantly weakening her strength.
Hmm, isn't this Ms. Raven?
Could this be the Titans Universe, a place I've never heard of?
Aaron didn't have much of an impression of this world; he roughly knew that this universe told the story of a Superhero team formed by young people from various places.
These young men and women united to resist world crises. Although it belonged to the DC Universeworldview, its attention was extremely low, and it was once unknown.
When DC is mentioned, perhaps not many people know about the Titans Universe.
Aaron's deepest impression of this world was the Ms. Raven in front of him, who was now a young Raven.
She was very beautiful, with a unique temperament that made people's eyes light up.
Raven is the daughter of Trigon, the most powerful dimensional demon in the DC Universe. Although Trigondoesn't seem famous, he is actually one of the few super-powerful sources of magic in the DC world.
In the Marvel Universe, his status is even higher than Dormammu, comparable to the Crimson Cyttorak... However, although Raven is Trigon's daughter, they are not a loving father-daughter pair. Raven's lifelong goal is to defeat and even kill her father, Trigon, and she has repeatedly prevented Trigon from invading the Reality Universe.
"Who are you? Another one of Trigon's subordinates?"
Raven expressionlessly sized up Aaron, her eyes still quite wary. Then, she shook her head with a flat tone, "What a pity. You're completely wasting your talent being his lackey. If you could go to Hollywood, you'd definitely become an international superstar."
Aaron grinned, "That's not necessarily true. I might also end up being stuffed like a cream puff."
Huh?
The emotionless Raven tilted her head, clearly unable to understand what that meant.
"By the way, you got one thing wrong. I've never met the so-called Trigon."
Aaron knew Raven's personality and didn't expect an emotionless girl who only knew about killing her father to understand this joke.
Raven blinked, "I didn't sense his aura from you, but I can feel that the world you came from is filled with evil Dark Power, perhaps it was once colonized by Trigon."
"He loves doing things like that. I know him."
"Is that so?"
Aaron's eyebrow twitched, and he said with interest, "Then he should have a good fight with the Oblivion Dragon. Whoever wins gets the Dark Universe."
"Are you interested in summoning Trigon to the Dark Multiverse and letting them fight each other?"
Eh?
I understand every word you're saying, but why does it make no sense when put together?
"Dark Multiverse?" Raven murmured.
For the sake of young Raven, Aaron patiently gave a brief introduction to the Dark Multiverse.
As Raven listened, her expression grew solemn, "A universe where good is destined to lose to evil? You guys are even worse off than our universe..."
"So, are you interested in joining us to fight against the evil Oblivion Dragon?"
Aaron directly extended the invitation without any reservation.
Raven hesitated for a moment, "I'd be happy to, but I need to deal with Trigon first; he has his eyes on this world."
"Then how about I help you deal with Trigon, and you come to my world to help us?"
Aaron smiled and suggested.
Raven stared blankly at Aaron, "Being his enemy is very dangerous."
"No, you've got one thing wrong."
Aaron shook his head, "To be precise, being *my* enemy is the real danger!"
PS: I've been out recently and haven't had time. These two chapters were written on my phone before bed. I'll make up for it when I get back.
Chapter 292: The Power of Trigon, Hormones Acting Up?
Raven gave Aaron a strange look, "You are the most arrogant person I've ever met."
Aaron laughed, "Perhaps you think it's arrogant now, but it won't be long before you change your mind."
Raven nodded, her voice cold: "Then it will be rampant."
If he didn't know what kind of person Raven was, anyone else would probably be too embarrassed to speak at this point.
Aaron said indifferently, "If speaking the truth is rampant, then am I truly unforgivable?"
Raven blinked and said nothing.
In her mind, she labeled Aaron as arrogant.
She genuinely believed that perhaps only she in this world could truly comprehend the terror of Trigon.
She had repeatedly sensed the terrifying might of her cheap father; even though he couldn't enter the Reality Universe yet, his mere existence still posed an undeniable threat to Earth.
Just his endless hordes of demonic minions were enough to bring a doomsday crisis to this fragile world.
Raven still needed to observe Aaron.
In truth, she hadn't fully believed what Aaron said.
Even if Aaron's words were known to Trigon, he would surely be torn to shreds, but she still dared not let down her guard.
After all, Trigon was a demon full of lies!
"Oh, by the way, my name is Aaron, what's yours? I don't know your name yet."
"Rachel Roth."
Raven hesitated for a moment but still spoke her real name.
If they were demons, even without knowing a name, those demons would have a myriad of ways to manipulate humans.
However, Raven was quite confident in her abilities. Whether she admitted it or not, Trigon was her de facto father.
The power of Trigon flowed within her, a power that constantly reminded her of her true identity.
This was also the most tragic point.
She hated Trigon, yet the bloodline power of Trigonflowed within her.
She wanted to stop and even kill Trigon, but without relying on Trigon's bloodline power, she was just an ordinary little girl, utterly powerless to do so.
Looking at the confident Aaron, Raven, for a moment, genuinely hoped that what Aaron said was true.
Even if it was just a one in ten thousand chance.
Because she deeply understood that while she was trying to fight Trigon, she couldn't do it with her strength alone.
Raven could only take things one step at a time now.
And Aaron was her first observation subject.
"Rachel Roth... a very beautiful name."
After repeating it once, Aaron asked:
"Very well, Rachel, what do we need to do next?"
"I mean, on the path to fighting Trigon, what's the next step?"
"Do you have a plan?"
Raven wanted to say they weren't that familiar, but she didn't voice it, seemingly accepting Aaron's address.
"Originally, I planned to look for two mysterious magical beings who have recently been active in the West, who seem to call themselves Dove and Hawk, and deal with some suspected demonic invasion incidents along the way..."
Raven's tone was devoid of emotion, as if due to past experiences, she had completely lost her expressions and emotions.
Aaron nodded upon hearing this, "In that case, let's go find Hawk and Dove!"
Aaron waved his hand, directly making the choice for Raven.
He knew that although Hawk and Dove also possessed magical powers, they had no relation to Trigon.
In fact, DC Universe magic didn't seem as treacherous as Marvel magic.
But in reality, it was even more so.
The sources of DC magic were those few beings.
Either super-demons like Lucifer, or kings of other-dimensional demons like Trigon.
Beyond them were the magic goddess Hecate, and Hecate's opposite, the source of dark magic born in the Dark Multiverse — the Hanged Man.
Each of these beings was at least Multiverse-level. Below them were the next tier of magical deities.
For example, the Lords of Order (God of Order) under Hecate, and the Lords of Chaos (God of Chaos) under the Hanged Man.
Below them were grand sorcerers such as Doctor Fate, Hawk and Dove, Shazam, Adam, Zatanna and her father Zatara, and Constantine.
Theoretically, while sorcerers like Doctor Fate are powerful, they could have their power supply cut off by higher-level magic gods, or even be manipulated and killed by them!
The most typical example is Constantine. He appears to be an extremely powerful dark sorcerer, but in reality, if it weren't for his numerous creditors who all disliked each other, Constantine would have long been flayed, dismembered, and had his soul devoured by those great demons, leaving no trace of his death.
Those great demons, at the very least, are Hell Dukes, and if they were to truly arrive in reality, they could easily destroy an entire universe.
How could Constantine compare?
He was just incredibly good at walking a tightrope.
But looking across the DC Universe, how many people like Constantine are there?
Constantine is so famous not because he is so powerful, but because he is the only one who did what he did and survived.
Anyone else would have long become fodder for demons.
Hawk and Dove, one is the avatar of the God of Chaos, and the other is the avatar of the God of Order.
Aaron was quite interested in the powers of these two great magical entities.
Although he also controlled a certain amount of Order and Chaos power, he could still try to fuse them to become even stronger.
Of course,
The young Raven in front of him absolutely could not be let go. Aaron, very familiarly, stood shoulder to shoulder with Raven.
Raven looked at Aaron warily, and seeing that he made no further moves, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She secretly took a breath. She had to admit, Aaronsmelled really good.
And he was quite handsome!
If it weren't for her ruby not reacting, and Aaron not having any demonic aura, she would truly believe Aaronwas a demon.
And definitely a super-demon with a lot of influence.
After all, the demons she had seen before didn't possess Aaron's terrifying charm.
Raven thought as she walked towards the city.
But suddenly, Raven looked up at Aaron's large hand placed on her head, her blue, amber-like eyes devoid of any emotion.
"What are you doing? Is it the power of hormones?"
"Don't misunderstand, I just saw that your purple hair was so fragrant and beautiful, so I wanted to try touching it to see how it felt."
Aaron said seriously, not feeling awkward at all.
"How does it feel?" Raven was still very cold.
"Quite good."
Aaron smiled, but didn't withdraw his hand.
He was telling the truth; he didn't know what brand of shampoo Raven used, but it smelled naturally fragrant and was incredibly soft.
Of course,
There were other gains.
[Power of Trigon: You have gained all the power characteristics of Trigon...]
Chapter 293: Heart of Darkness, Seven Terrifying Forms
[Heart of Darkness (Dark Abyss + Dark Power + Shadow Control + Dark Dimensional Power...): You transform into the Dark Overlord, possessing a pure core of darkness, able to manipulate darkness and use it to create various dark creatures.]
Dark Seal: You can Seal supernatural powers, including Void Realm entities, limited to beings whose energy is not higher than yours, and you can Seal the opponent's Soul.
Overlord Devil King: You can directly control all other creatures weaker than you, and even forcibly seize control of the Demon Race from other Devil Kings.
Seven Deadly Sins (Raven Version): Detected similar abilities have been Fused. In addition to the original seven major forms, you have also gained control over the power of the Seven Deadly Sins, thereby making your evolved forms even more powerful. You can also bestow or deprive others of the emotional power of the Seven Deadly Sins, allowing them to also acquire one or more forms of the Seven Deadly Sins.
As expected of Trigon's daughter, just by Fusing Raven, he could obtain various extraordinary powers.
Of course, after Fusion, Aaron's abilities and characteristics are only stronger, not weaker, than Raven or even Trigon himself.
Leaving aside everything else, just the power of Trigonpossesses the strength of a top-tier Multiverse.
The Fused Dark Heart, on the other hand, allows him to transform into Darkness at any time, enveloping the entire Multiverse.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the god of darkness.
And the Overlord Devil King is the strongest NTR ability; as long as his energy is vast enough, he can not only summon and control all of Trigon's Demon Race army at any time, thereby hollowing out Trigon, but also forcibly summon and control Trigon himself!
This is the authority of an Overlord Devil King, and it is not limited to demons; it encompasses all life, including Darkness and Justice.
To be precise, this is forced control at the level of life itself.
And the power of the Seven Deadly Sins...
Aaron closed his eyes, silently deducing this ability.
He immediately discovered the true power of this ability!
The Seven Deadly Sins forms include Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust.
Each form corresponds to certain enhanced abilities.
For example, in Gluttony form, his Devouring Power will increase tenfold, even a hundredfold.
Even super-cosmic level gods will be helpless before his powerful Devouring Power.
In Wrath form, his overall physical attributes will experience a ten-thousand-fold increase. Coupled with noble percentage abilities such as Qi Guan Changhong(Qi piercing the rainbow), Limit Breakthrough, Binary Star Burst, and Frenzied Burning, his divine body will be the most terrifying weapon in the World.
Shattering a super-large Universe with one punch is not a dream.
He can even threaten the rules themselves with pure power!
This is the principle of 'one force breaks all laws'!
Aaron vaguely perceived that if the incomplete version of Infinite Wrath he obtained at that time could be further enhanced, combined with the Wrath form, his strength would experience another leap!
The Lust form allows Aaron's charm to reach a new level; a mere glance can make men and women willing servants.
Moreover, his recovery ability will increase to a terrifying degree.
Similarly, certain specialized aspects will receive an explosive boost, and during piston movements, he will bring the other party an ultimate experience!
Things like a tenfold increase in pleasure perception and immunity to pain are just the most basic characteristics.
The Sloth form can greatly enhance Aaron's energy and significantly boost Aaron's physical defense and various resistances, including Soul, magic, curses, and rules. His defense is extremely powerful, enough to make the gods despair even if he just stands there!
Of course, besides these, the most powerful is undoubtedly the Pride form.
This is the strongest form. Although certain aspects of this form's abilities are not as good as other forms, it is an all-around enhancement.
Moreover, it can exempt most emotional powers and other external influencing factors, and can even temporarily use the abilities of other forms.
It can be said that,
The Seven Deadly Sins have granted Aaron the power to challenge those above his level. If combined with his other abilities and characteristics, his raw strength will increase by more than a thousandfold!
And this ability can continue to improve.
Because Aaron has also gained the power to absorb the emotions of the Seven Deadly Sins.
This ability will also continue to improve.
Combined with his Infinite Evolution ability, the growth rate of the Seven Deadly Sins will be extremely astonishing!
"Perhaps I can get a few lantern rings..."
Aaron thought of the Seven Light Corps.
The Seven Light Corps represent the emotional power of the DC Universe, respectively representing Rage, Greed, Fear, Willpower, Hope, Compassion, and Love.
In addition, there are the Black lantern ring representing Death and the White lantern ring representing Life.
If he can Fuse the power of the Seven lantern rings,
Perhaps his Seven Deadly Sins ability, and the Phoenix Force, which also represents emotion, will also experience a qualitative Breakthrough.
In fact, Aaron's current physique and willpower can already easily control the more powerful Phoenix Force.
He has already created and Fused more Phoenix, and the intensity of the Phoenix Fire at this time has far exceeded the Dark Phoenix in the original work.
Enough to rival the Crown White Phoenix!
Moreover, unlike Jean Grey in the original work, he can perfectly control this Phoenix Force and will not be influenced or even Possessed by the will within it.
Furthermore, Aaron's Phoenix Force and the original Phoenix have already undergone significant differences.
Having successively Fused the power of the Dragon, the Eternal Flame, the Sun Fire, the Hellfire, etc.,
Rather than calling it Phoenix Fire, it would be more accurate to call it Chaos Magic.
Aaron even wants to Fuse the Phoenix Force and Chaos Magic to form true Chaos Magic.
Coupled with the emotional spectrum of the DC Universeand the Seven Deadly Sins,
He has a premonition that the Phoenix Force will undergo Earth-shattering changes, and its potential will also surpass the original Phoenix!
If necessary, this peculiar Chaos Magic could also be Fused with Dark Power, God's Power, and so on.
Perhaps there's a chance to break through the limits of the U.S. comics in one fell swoop.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Aaron can perfectly control it.
No matter what, it represents the power of emotion, the emotions of all beings, the collection of countless minds.
Although Aaron doesn't have to worry about being controlled by it, he might unknowingly be influenced by emotions and thus become biased.
Aaron has already thought of a solution to this problem.
That is Devouring Power!
After multiple Fusions and evolutions, Devouring Powercan now devour almost all matter, including matter, energy, memories, vitality, Acquired abilities, power, Soul, and even emotions!
As long as the Devouring Power is strong enough, Aaroncan devour the emotions born from the Phoenix Force(Chaos Magic), maintain his absolute purity at all times, and also transform it into resources to strengthen himself, achieving a truly Zero-loss beneficial cycle!
To put it more vividly, it's like stepping on your right foot with your left foot to ascend to Heaven.
In this process, Devouring Power must be continuously enhanced.
For example, Fusing the true Planet Devourer, and also the power of fairies and other Devouring-attribute powers.
As Aaron thought, he continued to caress Raven's long purple hair.
Raven's eyes were fixed on Aaron, but as she watched, her eyes, which she tried hard to keep calm, flickered slightly.
She couldn't hold back the ripples in her heart and unconsciously turned her head away.
"Have you touched enough? Do you want to touch other places?"
"Oh, can I?" Aaron said in surprise.
Raven: "..."
"Let's talk about it after we deal with Trigon!"
Raven said and was about to leave, but she seemed to feel that this goal was too vague and might directly undermine Aaron's confidence.
So Raven added, "At least help me stop one of Trigon's plans... Well, repelling Trigon's lackeys three times will also do."
"Really? Then it's a deal!"
Aaron's eyes held a smile as he turned to look into the distance, "I can sense that there is a strong aura of Darkness there. No mistake, those are Trigon's lackeys!"
"Let's go!"
Before Raven could react, Aaron pulled her into the Void Realm.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at a small town a thousand miles away.
Raven saw the teleportation array with Trigon's iconic symbol. There was no mistake; this was also part of her father's plan!
Raven's face was cold as she was about to look for the source of the magic circle.
However, Aaron had already clapped his hand down, wiping out the entire nearby area.
He also incidentally wiped out a unlucky demon who had one foot in reality.
Raven's mouth was slightly open, stunned on the spot.
This man... is so extreme!
Chapter 294: The Third Time, Dove Dorne Granger
Dove is the first from the left in the picture.
Looking at the block that had been wiped out due to the teleportation array,
Raven rarely showed other expressions, pursing her lips, she tactfully said.
"Actually, we could have dealt with this demon in other ways. It's just a mere lackey; there's no need to involve other innocents..."
"Innocents? Oh, I forgot to mention, there are no living people left in this block. How do you think this teleportation array came to be?"
"You mean... someone sacrificed the people in this block?"
Raven's expression changed slightly, but looking at the completely annihilated area, she was silent for a moment, "Even so... aren't your methods a bit too... extreme?"
"Alright, don't worry about these details. Think about it, if the demon were to appear, let alone these few empty buildings, even this small town would be destroyed."
"This little sacrifice is all very necessary."
Aaron didn't feel there was anything wrong with himself; he was just pursuing a bit of efficiency.
A mere teleportation array, he wouldn't make even one unnecessary move for it.
"Let's go, we're going to the next one."
Without waiting for Raven to speak further, Aaron again took her small hand and stepped into a new teleportation array.
Raven was shocked: "There's more?"
She was a little uneasy. The promised three times... surely it wouldn't be resolved within ten minutes, right?
Doesn't that mean she would be casually touched by Aaron, touched more intimately?
Hiss! First meeting and already going to third base? What a fast man!
It was too late when Raven realized something was wrong. She regretted actively lowering the mission difficulty.
She was afraid Aaron wouldn't complete it, and also afraid Aaron would act too quickly.
She wasn't ready yet!
Thinking of this, even someone as stoic as Raven couldn't help but grit her teeth, "It's all Trigon's fault!"
Trigon was really an idiot for sending so many demons to invade Earth.
Was he just bored and had nothing to do?
Raven's mind was racing.
In the blink of an eye, Aaron brought her to a city closer to the west.
This time it was a university campus, where beautifully dressed female students coming and going were the most beautiful scenery in the school.
Everywhere was filled with youthful energy.
It made people sigh at how good the life of female university students was.
However, Aaron had no intention of appreciating it.
With a lovely Young Miss Raven by his side, these common beauties were not worth mentioning.
Even though these female students, upon seeing Aaron, actively approached him to exchange contact information,
Aaron quickly pulled Raven to a chemistry lab.
"Wait, this is a school, you really don't have to be so extreme."
Raven quickly said, "How about I go this time?"
Before Raven could finish, a violent explosion suddenly erupted from the chemistry lab.
Accompanied by dense white smoke, terrifying flames destroyed the entire floor, burying everyone in the lab and other offices in a sea of fire.
"…"
Raven was stunned and subconsciously looked at Aaron.
"Don't look at me; I didn't even make a move this time. He blew himself up."
Aaron shrugged, and amidst the exclamations, he pulled Raven into the sea of fire.
They soon arrived at the source of the explosion and found a shattered object there.
From him, Raven sensed the unique Trigon aura in his soul.
And as he died, triggering a sacrificial ritual, a familiar teleportation array quickly appeared.
"I'll do it!"
Raven quickly stopped Aaron, about to step forward and expel the demon.
However, the huge demon with bull horns, the moment it stepped out of the portal, was mind-controlled by a single glance from Aaron.
Then, it used all its strength to claw its own head, and its body erupted in terrifying flames, incinerating the entire teleportation magic circle symbol!
Raven blinked, and Aaron's expectant voice reached her ears, "Second time."
The girl's heart trembled; she had forgotten what this strange emotion was.
Since her mother was killed by Trigon and she was treated as a demon to be expelled, it seemed she had no other emotions besides revenge, right?
But today, after meeting Aaron, she had returned to the past.
She seemed to have recovered her normalcy.
However, the cost was… herself!
Perhaps Aaron really was a demon, the legendary Great Succubus!
About to devour her.
"Alright, let's go to the next place."
Aaron eagerly pulled Raven, continuing their journey.
Raven's expression changed repeatedly, her slightly pale face, at some unknown point, covered in a blush.
She admitted that Aaron was very handsome.
But she had already decided not to fall in love before defeating Trigon.
Otherwise, it would harm both others and herself.
That was Trigon!
Although she and Trigon both wanted nothing more than to deal with each other, honestly, if Trigon knew that some blond guy had gotten involved with his daughter—even if it was the daughter he considered a mortal enemy—that Demon King would probably go mad, right?
Hiss!
But if she could withstand Trigon's madness, perhaps this was an alternative form of revenge?
Raven thought, unconsciously glancing at Aaron's hair.
Too bad it was black, not yellow, and he was missing a ghost fire… This time,
After leaving the school, the two arrived at their original destination—the Western Region.
And this place was the city where Dove and Hawk were located.
Right at this moment,
Hawk and Dove were dealing with a tricky supernatural event.
"Demon, get out of the little boy's body immediately!"
Inside an apartment, Hawk Henry Hall, Dove Dorne Granger, and a thin priest holding a Bible were shouting angrily at a ferocious-looking little boy.
The little boy glared hatefully at the disheveled priest, then looked at Henry with a mocking gaze, "What peculiar power, but do you two really think you can make me compromise?"
"Come on, if you have the guts, kill me, kill this innocent life!"
The voice coming from the little boy's mouth was deep and evil, filled with endless malice.
Dorne Granger said, at a loss, "Hall, what should we do next?"
"Rookie, don't expose your emotions so easily, especially in front of a demon; that will only make him more rampant and reckless!"
Henry Hall glared disapprovingly at his companion.
As Hawk, he didn't actually have much affection for Dorne, who was Dove.
In fact, his true comrade was his younger brother, the first generation Dove, Donald.
However, his beloved brother died in an accident, and Dorne fortunately received a divine blessing, thus gaining his brother's power.
The two reluctantly became partners, but to this day, Henry still hadn't acknowledged her.
Even if the other party was a beautiful girl.
"Hahaha, what a pitiful girl, your companion doesn't seem to treat you as a helper, but rather a servant he can scold at will."
"Why not abandon him and submit to the great Trigon, my master? You will gain even greater power!"
The little boy said seductively.
Dorne bit her lip and did not answer.
"Third one!"
Just then, a strange voice suddenly appeared in everyone's ears.
Then, a man and a woman, a perfect match, walked out of the void.
The man was handsome and dashing, the woman beautiful and noble.
The ruby on her forehead shimmered with an eerie light.
Raven tugged at Aaron's hand, with a hint of pleading, "Let me do this one, alright? I can do it."
"No, he's mine. The next one is yours, I promise!"
Aaron said in an unquestionable tone.
"Wait, you two, do you understand the concept of first come, first served? He belongs to me!"
Hawk Henry stepped forward, his expression ugly.
His brother's death made him quite irritable, and after Aaron and Raven appeared, they hadn't even looked at them properly, as if they considered them nothing.
Coupled with the repulsion between same sexes, Henry's emotions became even more agitated as he looked at Aaron's overly handsome face.
However, the man and woman merely glanced at him, then withdrew their gaze, seemingly not taking him seriously at all.
"I have a way to deal with the demon without harming the little boy."
Raven thought of a solution.
However, Aaron raised an eyebrow, "I also have a way, and it's more efficient. Don't worry."
Upon hearing the word 'efficient,' Raven thought of the first time.
She became even more uneasy and hastily tried to say something.
Henry shouted loudly at this point, "Enough! You two, are you even listening to me?"
Not just him, the demon residing in the boy's body, who was being treated as a meal, also couldn't help but feel angry.
He was Trigon's most capable demon, and now he was actually being treated as a small fry that could be easily extinguished?
Could this be tolerated?
"You're the ones who are truly enough! Don't think I'm afraid of you!"
The demon roared, and balls of Hellfire filled with terrifying energy surged, their immense heat and power directly knocking Hawk away.
Seeing this, Dove Dorne quickly created an energy wave, attempting to block the flames.
However, she had only recently acquired her powers and was completely unfamiliar with her abilities.
After only a few seconds of resistance, the fragile shield was on the verge of collapse.
However, just then,
Aaron placed one hand on Raven and lightly tapped with the other, a red glow entering the boy's body, accompanied by a terrified scream.
A red demonic phantom was struck out by the light, and under the influence of some invisible force, it was forcibly compressed into a red crystal.
It was somewhat similar to the ruby on Raven's forehead.
This was the Dark Seal, a power from Raven.
"So… so strong!"
Dorne Granger murmured to herself. Her object of admiration had originally been Hawk Henry Hall, but at this moment, it was quietly replaced by another figure…
