Clothes make the man, and a good saddle makes the horse. After putting on the Golden Battle Armor, Han Shaoqing's overall image immediately went up a notch.
The saying "gold shines wherever it is" is absolutely true.
Even at the bottom of the sea, tens of thousands of feet deep, the Golden Battle Armor's golden glow couldn't be concealed.
The surrounding Atlanteans were attracted by the golden light and looked towards Godzilla's back.
A blue-skinned Atlantean pointed at Han Shaoqing's location: "There's actually someone behind the Guardian God?"
"What kind of person can stand on the Guardian God's back?"
An old Atlantean looked up and was surprised.
Ancient giant beasts like Godzilla have existed longer than the history of the Atlantean Empire.
From ancient times until now, even the legendary sea god Poseidon had never subdued Godzilla.
Godzilla and Atlantis had a mutually beneficial relationship. Before the continent of Atlantis sank, Godzilla protected Atlantis from the persecution of other Titans.
In return, the Atlantean Empire would provide Godzilla with the nuclear radiation energy it needed, offering it as a sacrifice.
Put simply, it was paying protection money.
This had become an unchanging tradition of Atlantis for ten thousand years.
After the sinking of the Atlantis continent, they encountered many deep-sea behemoths in the deep sea, and Godzilla mostly stood up to help Atlantis handle the matter. Otherwise, Atlantis would not have been able to continue to this day.
As the saying goes: the kings come and go, but Godzilla is always there.
In the Atlantean Empire, Godzilla's status was extremely high and revered by all, even above the king. It was on par with the sea god Poseidon and was the undisputed guardian deity of Atlantis.
How could these Atlanteans not be surprised to see someone standing on their guardian deity?
One of the Atlanteans had sharp eyes and clearly saw Han Shaoqing's skin color from afar, and was even more surprised: "Flesh-colored skin, it's a surface dweller."
Another guard, holding a five-pronged trident, was puzzled: "Surface dweller? How could a surface dweller come to the deep sea without the aid of tools, and is he holding the Golden Trident?"
The old Atlantean said, "Have you forgotten His Majesty the King?"
"Could he also be a… mixed-blood?"
Most Atlanteans actually had quite a few criticisms about the mixed-blood sea king Namor, but they dared not express them.
"Could he be a descendant of that person in the legends?"
An old Atlantean's expression changed slightly.
"You mean the usurper?"
"I'm afraid their intentions are not good! Quickly, inform the King and the High Priest!"
After a moment of chaos among the Atlanteans, someone immediately went to report the situation.
"Usurper?"
Hearing the Atlanteans' discussion, Han Shaoqing was somewhat puzzled.
However, judging from the expressions of those around him, most of them were hostile.
If Godzilla wasn't present, these Atlanteans would have immediately rushed forward to arrest him, this illegal intruder.
However, due to Godzilla's presence, they didn't dare to directly brandish their weapons; it would be disrespectful to their guardian deity.
Godzilla was Atlantis's guardian deity, but also a powerful destroyer. No one could afford the consequences of angering Godzilla.
While these Atlanteans were observing Han Shaoqing, Han Shaoqing was also sizing up the Atlanteans.
Their appearance was similar to humans, with pale blue or dark blue skin. Their clothing was luxurious; even ordinary Atlanteans had decorations of pearls and gemstones. Some even had fish scales.
Most of the men wore armor and held weapons like tridents, while some held strange-looking firearms, which should be some kind of energy weapon.
Others wore elegant robes and rode various marine creatures.
These marine creatures were quite large, such as sea horses over three meters long, mantis shrimps five meters long, crabs seven or eight meters long, and sea turtles.
He wondered if these marine creatures were originally like this, or if it was the result of the Atlanteans' modifications?
"The king is here!"
Before long, amidst the clamor of the Atlanteans, a black-haired man in black armor, wielding a Golden Trident, appeared riding a Mosasaur that was twenty-three meters long.
His trident was the same style as the one Han Shaoqing held, also gleaming with gold, but the handle was spiral-shaped, with a flat end.
Han Shaoqing's trident, on the other hand, had a round handle with triangular barbs at the end.
From the man's appearance and the Atlanteans' address, it wasn't hard to tell that this fair-skinned person was Marvel's Namor McKenzie!
As for his Mosasaur mount, it should have been an extinct species, so where did Namor find it?
Han Shaoqing wasn't surprised by this; after all, Godzilla existed, so the appearance of a Mosasaur wasn't such a big deal.
This Mosasaur was obviously tamed, with a saddle and reins on its back, looking imposing and domineering, but compared to Godzilla, it was nothing.
Two sea kings looked at each other from afar, and in that instant, it was as if an invisible current flashed from their eyes.
This was a formidable enemy!
Also, a fated opponent.
This feeling seemed to come from instinct. At the moment of their meeting, Han Shaoqing and Namor simultaneously felt the same thing.
It was somewhat like a relative they hadn't seen in many years, yet carried a natural hostility.
This feeling was very mystical.
Namor, standing on the Mosasaur's back, spoke first: "I really didn't expect that we would meet in this way. It seems you're prepared to challenge for the throne, right? My cousin... Yimoji!"
"???"
Who is Yimoji?
Hearing Namor's words, Han Shaoqing was bewildered, not quite understanding the situation. The other party clearly misunderstood something.
However, Han Shaoqing didn't explain. He opened his mouth and said, "Yimoji is already dead. My name is Han Shaoqing. If you want to fight, I'll be happy to oblige."
"If that's the case, then come."
Namor had a fiery temper, was straightforward, loved to fight, and always prioritized the interests of Atlantis, being extremely protective of his own.
He was the type of person who, if someone killed one of his, he would wipe out their entire clan.
More than twenty years ago, Namor's uncle, Gelang, dissatisfied with Namor's rule, launched a large-scale rebellion while Namor was away. He was ultimately defeated and expelled by Namor upon his return.
Gelang was unwilling to accept this, but he knew he couldn't defeat Namor. So, he chose to go ashore, wanting to follow Namor's mother and unite with a human, giving birth to a powerful hybrid.
Rumor had it that Gelang had arrived in Asia and fathered a son with an Asian, naming him Yimoji.
This matter was considered a relatively famous piece of gossip in Atlantis.
After all, Namor's strength was obvious to everyone. Although mixed-bloods were rejected by many traditional Atlanteans, Namor's power was undeniable.
Therefore, many people wanted to try to combine with land-dwellers, but ordinary Atlanteans would suffer from the environment upon reaching the shore, making it impossible.
Even if they forcibly took land-dwellers back, those land-dwellers would also suffer from the environment.
Only those with strong royal bloodlines could live longer on land, but there weren't many royal bloodlines to begin with, and most were rather conservative, and easily criticized, therefore, the mixed-bloods of Atlanteans and land-dwelling humans were few and far between.
It was understandable that Han Shaoqing would be mistaken for Yimoji by Namor.
