Chapter 200 The War of Atlantis
Under Siren's persuasion, Arthur still sent the phone to Batman...
"Bat, I need you to do me a favor!" Arthur said embarrassedly: "Something happened to Atlantis... A seaman who claimed to be Namo usurped the throne while I was away and imprisoned Mela. He seemed to be going to launch a war to conquer the land... Yes, this time it was not for revenge, but for conquest!"
"I know you want to help, but bat, this is Atlantis's business, I have to solve it myself!"
Batman on the opposite phone had a hoarse voice: "No, Arthur. This is no longer your own business. Shazam was killed, and the Eagleman and the Eagle Girl were also killed! Those people hid in the shadows and attacked the members of the Justice League one by one... Isn't the purpose of our establishment of the alliance just to deal with emergencies that cannot be dealt with separately?"
"Some people are hiding in the dark and are planning to eradicate the shield that guards the earth on the Justice League."
Arthur was a little moved, but he still stubbornly said: "What the alliance needs to do now is to guard against war, the atrocities of the usurper named Namo or the internal affairs of Atlantis. I cannot take the alliance with him... I am now trying to regain the throne and stop his crazy behavior."
"But if I fail! You can take action!"
Arthur made his own request and said, "Namor challenges the entire royal family, I need my brother's help. Bat, contact the Sky Eye Club, I'm going to go to Bellif Prison to talk to him."
"Don't let Oum out?" Batman thought for a second: "This is a good idea...I will give you a chance to solve the problem, but once things start to get out of control, I will do it immediately, and I will not consider your opinion at that time!"
Arthur said: "You don't have to consider my opinion... because I must have been dead by then!"
Arthur hung up his phone and expressed his determination to defend Atlantis with his life. Batman was silent for a while there and whispered: "This is why I worry."
Bellif Prison is located in the Gulf of Mexico, surrounded by swamps. The most notorious criminals in the United States are detained here. No one will escape because everyone knows that outside this prison is a hell, poisonous miasma, crocodiles, insects, and land that looks safe, but when you step on it, you will turn your back on it at any time. In comparison, Bellif Prison is a paradise.
No one will leave heaven and escape to hell.
Arthur's younger brother, the Ocean Lord Om, was imprisoned here... Although it was a bit fascinated to imprison an Atlantis in the marsh prison, Om was still imprisoned for several years.
The Sky Eye will be responsible for guarding the most dangerous mortals here. The middle-aged and elderly woman named Amanda even formed a special squad composed of several of the most dangerous criminals to carry out dangerous tasks. This plan, called the Suicide Squad, has already been on track, but Om is not someone Amanda can move.
Although he was exiled to the human world, he was still the prince of Atlantis.
Amanda hates people who have special backgrounds and are very difficult, and she dares not touch them.
In fact, Aum's treatment is pretty good. Perhaps the US government is ready to help the prince return to the resettlement when necessary to obtain Atlantis' support?
The US government is playing a good job of betting on both sides!
Although Aum is a criminal now, he may transform himself into a leader of the Atlantis anti-government army supported by the United States, and go back and kill the orthodox Aquaman Arthur to the death... Not only the United States, but Batman may have such a plan to counter Arthur.
Arthur stood outside Oum's prison. Seeing that the prison where his younger brother was imprisoned was still simple and comfortable, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at his somewhat thin and embarrassed brother, a trace of guilt and depression flashed in Arthur's eyes. In fact, he did not want to lock up his brother, although Oum killed their mother.
But Arthur believed that Om was also in great pain for this.
He is locked here honestly, and may not have a little sense of self-exile.
"He is my only relative!" Arthur said sadly. Siren looked at his ex-boyfriend next to him, with a slightly unnatural expression, but Siren disdained Arthur's entanglement.
"Weak man!"
"Open..." Arthur said to Amanda, who stammered his neck and said, "You need to protect yourself... He is a very dangerous criminal... Can't..."
"I said... open!" Arthur said angrily, looking indifferently at the woman he hated, emphasizing word by word: "And he is not a criminal... He is the prince of Atlantis who was exiled to the human world, my brother!"
Amanda screamed like a woman in a skirt lifted up: "You should know how many people he killed, how many innocent people he caused? He committed crimes against the US government!"
"The US government has also committed many crimes against Atlantis. You slaughtered whales and dolphins, dumped sewage into the ocean, and fished a lot of fishing to destroy the ecology of the ocean. What you did to Atlantis would have caused a war long ago! My younger brother... Although he made a mistake, we do not owe any of us on the issues of our two countries!"
Om raised his head in surprise when he heard Arthur speak for him.
Amanda shivered in anger, but speechless. Arthur looked at his younger brother and continued: "Om, of course he made a mistake, but he only made mistakes against Atlantis and the people on land. He launched a war to involve innocent people in it. He was guilty of the people on land and sea. But this war was by no means unilaterally provoked..."
"Om paid the price...but you America and all the countries on land do not!"
"I feel deeply repentance for the innocent people who died in war, but for the politicians who caused them, your government...repentance...not. You should atone for the sins you committed against the sea...If Aum is guilty, then you are all unforgivable."
Arthur said coldly to Amanda: "Now open this thing that is closing my brother for me!"
Amanda opened his mouth silently, his lips squirmed twice, but he still acted obediently. She could be rude to Batman, despised and embarrassed Superman, but she didn't dare to do anything to Arthur. Because that was a leader of a country stronger than the United States. To put it bluntly, Amanda was a dog raised by the US government, and it was related to US interests and diplomacy. She was not qualified to make any mistakes and point fingers.
In the past, Arthur did not have the consciousness of being a leader of a country with the same status as the United States, so he is more people-friendly and tolerant.
Arthur just did not regard himself as the Aquaman of Atlantis... He positioned himself as a superhero who defended the earth. Of course, the superhero had to endure the confusion and blame of the people.
But if it is the king of Atlantis, Aquaman, then his dignity will not be violated by anyone.
The consequences are just like being insulted by Americans when other heads of state visit... Not only is it extremely impolite in diplomacy, but it is also equivalent to insulting the entire Atlantis, and may even directly trigger a war.
Amanda obediently opened the prison door, Arthur walked in, and Om sneered: "Isn't this my wild brother? Why, I finally have the mood to see your down-and-out, imprisoned brother?"
"Om... Something happened to Atlantis! We need you!" Arthur said in pain.
Oum's face changed suddenly...
………………………………………
"So, you're playing your superhero game on land, disdaining your responsibilities, leaving your people behind... until that shameful usurper tramples our country?" Om trembled in anger, and he looked at Arthur with red eyes. He regarded Atlantis for his life, but the man in front of him trampled on him so easily.
Arthur said guiltily: "Mela manages Atlantis very well..."
"But she is from the Kingdom of Zebel... We are the only kings recognized by the Seven Seas. Look at what you have made Atlantis like?" Oum roared.
"So..." Arthur admitted his mistake frankly: "We need you back!"
"Get my trident..." Om looked into Arthur's eyes and said firmly.
While Om was wearing the dress, Siren pulled Arthur and hid next to him, whispering: "Arthur, you cannot admit that it was your cause. Although Om will firmly help you now, when the matter is over, he will immediately turn against him and take back his throne. You must be careful of him..."
Arthur reflected: "Maybe I'm not a qualified Aquaman. I gave everything to Mela and thought she would do it, but I've actually been escaping my responsibilities."
"Maybe Om will be a better king than me."
Arthur said: "Now that the war is over, maybe it's time to get everything back on track. He loves Atlantis more than I do, and can think more from the perspective of Atlantis."
Siren was stupid!
"I finally took advantage of my sister's cheating and seducing my brother-in-law. You want to give the throne to Oum now? Speaking of which, Oum is pretty good. I used to have an affair with him... Bah Bah Bah Bah... I want to rule the country from behind the curtain! You give Atlantis to me and go ashore to play by yourself! Aquaman replaced Aquaman as Oum, what else do I do?"
"I might as well retreat back to Zebel Kingdom and go to play by yourself!"
Om walked out of the prison with his trident in his arms. He was full of energy and watched Arthur and the other two stretched out their tridents together. The two tridents intertwined, like the arms of the two brothers were clasped together, and they united again.
"Let's go find Poseidon's trident!" Oum said: "I know where it is!"
Siren looked at Arthur agreeing without hesitation, and his heart tightened: "I'm Poseidon's trident for you! Om wants to obtain a trident by himself now, and master a stronger power than you? Now that he has become Om, don't you feel wrong?"
Batman looked at Arthur's phone positioning, and he was about to let Barry take action at the right time.
Now it is not the time when Arthur is tempted. First observe Namo's information through Arthur's brothers, and then make a plan to let Barry take action to help them at critical moments to defeat Namo, and then plot against Oum and lock him up again. Batman has already mastered all of Oum's information, and plotting against him is as simple as drinking water.
The only thing worth worrying about is that Arthur will turn against him, but Batman has a special weapon against Arthur, so let Mela deal with it at that time.
Mela is the last person to see Om in power. And Arthur has never had any way to deal with his wife...
Atlantis cannot be controlled by ambitious people like Oum, and the silly and sweet person like Arthur is the best candidate.
Otherwise, Batman could not imagine the next sea and land war. He knew that the conflict between the ocean and land never stopped, and there would always be small frictions turning into big conflicts, and then on the day of the war.
Not to mention anything else, just a dolphin was killed, and then it was the pet of Atlantis' children. The Atlantis regarded the dolphins as friends, which may arouse hatred of the Atlantis for land. They would demand revenge for the dolphins, and then some evidence of humans polluting the sea and killing marine life. Atlantis should be excited.
The most troublesome thing is that these things are not fake, but happening every moment.
