American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander.

Chapter 499 I'm going to the ground!
Although Atlantis has experienced turmoil throughout the day, the vendors living in the city still have to set up their stalls.

We can't stop setting up stalls and making money just because the country is in trouble. Otherwise, how will our children go to school and how will our wife support the family? So we have to set up stalls.

Just like that, among the countless Atlantis vendors who set up stalls today, there was a group of them... who were really taught a lesson by the sudden flash of the knife!
If you have good eyesight, you can see a particularly eye-catching one... A giant octopus that was selling takoyaki at a stall. At this moment, it was staring at its own old octopus face in amazement, looking dully at its stall that was split in half vertically... There was absolutely no possibility of saving it.

"Ah, this... my stall..."

The old octopus hesitated for a long time, but finally burst into tears. He had a lot of children at home, and he still had a mortgage that was owed for more than 20 years!

Where on earth did this knife light come from? It really hit my heart!!!

There were many people who had the same idea as Old Octopus. At this moment, all of their gazes, like Old Octopus's, gradually shifted from their own broken stall to the direction where the knife light came from.

Following their gaze towards the Atlantis Palace, the guards inside the palace were also at a loss at this moment.

Every guard was on guard, shouting and yelling. The commotion even woke up the old king who was recuperating.

After noticing the commotion everywhere, the old king listened to his attendants telling him what had happened that day.

After hearing this, the old king took a deep breath and said with difficulty.

“It’s not Om’s fault, or rather, it’s not just Om’s fault.

Most people in Atlantis are looking forward to this war. The fact is that the land has used their strength to prove the necessity of us staying in the seabed..."

Having said this, the old king turned over sadly and closed his eyes in pain.

He just walked towards coma while whispering the story.

"It suddenly occurred to me that in ancient times, Atlantis was submerged by the sea and the flood caused by the spell of Poseidon, the god of the sea.

Why didn't our ancestors at that time leave the seabed and go to the land to fight for the land people's land?
Are our ancestors too kind?
Or are the people on land too powerful?

I think, from today on, I will know the answer to this question.

Although we live on the seabed.

But obviously.

The water on land is...deeper!"

At this point, the old king fell into a coma and continued to fight the illness.

At the same time, towards the Atlantis Palace.

Looking at Ao Guang who cut off the entire Atlantis with one sword, Om was silent for a moment, then swallowed hard.

After swallowing his saliva and his confidence, Om raised the trident in both hands and looked at it carefully.

It seemed as if it was judging whether this trident could block the sword light just now.

Looking at Om's head down in thought, Ao Guang snorted softly, then nodded at Clark, indicating that he should translate for him.

Clark made an OK gesture. Although Ao Guang didn't understand what the gesture meant, he understood that Clark must have agreed.

So, Ao Guang organized his words for a moment, then took a step forward, raised his knife and said to Om.

"People who live under the sea? I admire your lifestyle because I love the sea as much as you do.

But I think that your love for the sea and mine are probably completely different!
Regardless of whether you can breathe at the bottom of the sea without relying on the water-avoiding spell, I must tell you that I am the dragon that truly belongs to the bottom of the sea, the Dragon King!
Maybe it’s not that I belong to the sea, but that the sea should belong to me!!!

Roar! ! ! "

At the end of his speech, Ao Guang suddenly let out a desolate roar.

The next moment, his body suddenly stretched, and the silver armor turned into starlight covering every scale of his armor!

In Om's shocked eyes, Ao Guang, who was about 1.9 meters tall, completely turned into a silver-white dragon at least 600 meters long!

And this is not even the full picture of Ao Guang's body. In order not to completely destroy the palace in front of him, Ao Guang deliberately shrunk it by more than one point!
But even though he had made himself as small as possible, his body still forced Om to retreat again and again.

There is no need for any fighting, just enlarge the body.

Om had already been pushed into a corner by the hovering dragon.

Feeling the silver-white dragon body passing by in front of him, Om felt a little thirsty, so he kept swallowing his saliva while tentatively raising the trident and using about 70% of his strength to hit Ao Guang's body.

result……

Sonorous!

After the trident pierced the scales, only a series of sparks appeared, and Ao Guang didn't even suffer any damage to the scales.

Looking at Ao Guang's body that passed by without any injury, Om suddenly felt that he was a little full.

Then he had an idea, and quickly raised his trident with both hands and shouted loudly to Ao Guang.

"I think peace is more important. Only barbarians would use dueling as a form of negotiation!"

"What did you say?"

Listening to Om's words, Ao Guang was obviously a little confused. He turned the faucet suspiciously and looked at Clark, asking with his eyes what Om meant by his words.

And Clark...

He was silent for a moment, then he held back his laughter and spread his hands to Ao Guang and said.

"He's scared..."

"Hahahahaha, good, good, you are such a coward under the sea, I know how to let my race come into contact with them!

Didn’t they offend Tang Dasheng?
Very good, I will also offend them in a good way, haha!"

Ao Guangda answered with a big smile, then he was no longer polite and stretched his body directly.

In an instant, Ao Guang's length increased dramatically from six or seven hundred meters to nearly thirteen kilometers!

Originally, Ao Guang was the largest dragon in the East China Sea. Even if the Ruyi Stick was dozens of kilometers away at its peak, Ao Guang could still coil around it.

A dragon can be big or small, can rise or hide; this is the true nature of a dragon!
The consequence of Ao Guang's rapid growth was that the palace of Atlantis was completely crushed!
At this moment, not only Om was staring blankly at the increasingly huge dragon, but all the residents of Atlantis also saw Ao Guang's tall figure!
In front of Downton, you can call me Brother Long, I don’t blame you.

But after Tang Dasheng leaves, if you still call me Brother Long, that would be disrespecting me!

You have to call me Dragon King!!!
"Roar!!!"

Hanging high between the sea and the sky, Ao Guang opened his mouth wide and let out a sudden roar.

In the face of his roar, the giant underwater city of Atlantis actually felt a little shaky!

Looking at Ao Guang's protest, Om's Adam's apple trembled, and he quickly swam to Clark and asked.

"Are you sure you translated what I meant? Why is he still so angry? I said so much, and you only said a short word. Are you sure you translated it..."

"Ok, Your Highness Aum, please trust my translation skills. Although my translation is short, it is definitely concise and powerful!

As for the look of Ao Guang Dragon King at this moment, maybe he wants you to understand...what kind of creature can be called the king of the seabed?"

Clark explained while patting Om's shoulder encouragingly. Seeing Om shivering again and again after being patted by him, Clark grinned and continued to persuade him.

"When you thought of dragons before, you probably thought of the dragons in our mythology, right?

A magic dragon? An evil dragon? The kind that steals the princess?

So when you challenged the Dragon King, were you still planning to become a dragon-slaying hero?
Don't deny it, Your Majesty Om, I can feel your heartbeat. You agree with what I said, and being a dragon slayer is also a dream that is destined to exist for us men when we are young. No matter we live on the ground or under the sea, our dreams are in the same direction, right?

But I must explain for the Dragon King, he is not the kind of dragon in our mythology, he is an Eastern dragon, and even more so an Eastern god, equivalent to the sea god Poseidon~"

Speaking of this, Clark couldn't help laughing, and while laughing, he felt a little proud.

He just continued to speak to Om proudly.

“For you, losing to such a sea god is not something that is unacceptable.

Did you know that in Eastern mythology, the Dragon King not only controls the sea, but also every river on land and even decides the spreading of every rain on land?

Although I don't know much about Eastern mythology, but in comparison, no matter how you look at it, his divine power should be greater than Poseidon's, and he is not an opponent you should be able to deal with.

Only our eldest brother Tang can easily subdue that kind of dragon, and only a guy like me who is strong enough can fight against that kind of dragon and win.

As for you, don't worry. Although you are destined to lose miserably, your compatriots have no right to laugh at you because they don't have that ability either.
And you, at least you made the right decision, so you don't have to die at the hands of the Dragon King~"

After he finished speaking, Clark patted Om's shoulder hard, making Om sway continuously.

Listening to Clark's words, Om's body was swaying while his mind was swaying.

"Such a terrifying Dragon King..."

While Om was swaying, he spoke to Clark nervously.

"Why did Your Majesty bring such a terrifying creature to the vicinity of Atlantis?
And he's not the only dragon, there are many more dragons and thousands of Eastern sea people who can speak human language?
I admit that I offended that Majesty, but... Your Highness Clark, that Majesty is your elder brother, so I should call you His Highness, right?

In short, Your Highness, I hope you can understand that my offense was completely unintentional. Now I am full of admiration and love for Your Majesty. Even if Your Majesty wants me to be his seahorse for him to ride, I can even put on the saddle myself!
So, I ask you, no matter what, please help me explain to His Majesty and convey my request to His Majesty.

I wanted to ask him to give Atlantis a chance to survive, and not... not to let the dragon devour the entire Atlantis!

God of the sea, look at that big guy of his. I'm afraid he can eat at least a month's worth of food for all the Atlanteans in just one meal!
How on earth did the Eastern Sea raise them!!!"

Having said that, Om could no longer stop feeling guilty and regretful.

He really regretted bringing such a terrible enemy upon his country!

If he were allowed to go back to the past, even for just one day, he would definitely give himself a slap in the face and make his previous self completely give up the idea of ​​counterattacking the mainland!
The reason why the mainlanders can occupy the mainland is not because they were born in the mainland.

It’s because they are stronger, much stronger!!!

Hearing Om say this, Clark was slightly stunned and suddenly remembered the reminder given to him by Downton.

I quickly looked up at the Dragon King...

Yes!

Clark suddenly realized.

A dragon king this big must be a big eater, right?
No wonder Don asked me to give them a diet!

So he quickly let go of Om.

“I won’t bring you any message, so you should go see my eldest brother yourself.

But as for your suggestion, I will go and talk to the Dragon King right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Clark jumped up and rushed to Ao Guang through layers of water.

Clark's sudden appearance undoubtedly interrupted Ao Guang's howl. He quickly closed his big mouth, put away his arrogance as a king, and asked Clark cautiously.

"Great Sage Ke, I wonder if you have any advice for me. Xiaolong is listening."

“Well, you don’t have to call me the Great Sage. I am different from Big Brother. We just live in the same team.

You can just call me Clark."

"Well, Brother Ke, I wonder if you..."

"It's Clark, not Ke. My last name is not Ke, but Kent. Clark is my name."

"Uh... Brother Kent..."

"Call me Clark."

"Clark..."

Ao Guang called Clark's name with particular discomfort, and then waited silently for Clark's instructions.

Seeing Ao Guang assuming a listening attitude, Clark pursed his lips and smiled.

"Your Majesty the Dragon King, don't be nervous. I am only here to convey and confirm my eldest brother's request."

"Yes, yes, yes. If the Great Sage has any request, please... Brother Clark, please tell him. Xiaolong will remember and abide by it and will never overstep the line!"

The Dragon King nodded heavily, and Clark continued to instruct.

"That's right. I will immediately bring you a list and pictures of protected marine animals, and stipulate the number of each species that you and your tribe can eat each year, and the sea areas where you can fish and eat in different seasons.

Your size is so large that if you are overfished in the same sea area, it will be easy to fish your species to extinction.

Although my eldest brother is not a good person, he still likes small animals very much. Believe me, he would never want to hear the news that a certain animal was eaten to extinction by you, so..."

"I see, haha, Mr. Clark, don't worry, we don't really need to eat.

You see, for the past six thousand years, we have been living in magma, without even fish or shrimp to eat, but we are still very healthy. My son is growing up quite strong.

As for the desire for food, we certainly have it, but we can engage in aquaculture. Before we came to the ocean of this world, we also engaged in aquaculture in our East China Sea.

We have experience breeding whales, sharks, and the like. Don't worry, we will not eat them to extinction. We will also appropriately breed local marine fish so that they also have the opportunity to open their minds and practice cultivation.

The Dragon King hurriedly made assurances to Clark, with a flattering expression on his dragon face as he made the assurances.

In the ruined hall of the Supreme Council of Atlantis, the little mermaid hurriedly dodged the collapsed ruins, then swam among the ruins, staring blankly at the top of her head.

Noticing the little mermaid's gaze and making sure that Princess Mera and Nereus were safe, Vico quickly came behind the little mermaid and asked.

"Do you have any doubts, Your Highness?"

“I’m just looking at strength and power, Mr. Vico.

The great dragon showed off his power in front of Orm, but he still had to bow to the people on the ground, and that person on the ground was just a subordinate of Donton!
I admire Don more and more, Vico.

I've decided, I'm going to the ground!"
