American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 312 Arthur is Found
The next morning, Arthur, who had completely given up resistance the night before, hurried back to his bedroom after attending court.

Arthur pushed open the door and saw Xiao Xian hugging Mera and Atlanna respectively, the three of them sitting on a luxurious sofa. Xiao Xian gently stroked Mera's shoulders with his left hand, and his right hand was intimately around Atlanna's waist. The two beauties were nestled in his arms, with happy smiles on their faces.

Arthur no longer had any resistance in his heart, he slowly knelt down and said respectfully: "Master, I have issued an order to all the ministers. I have been unwell recently, and the affairs of Atlantis will be handled by Queen Mera and Queen Mother Atlanna."

Hearing this, Xiao Xian nodded with satisfaction, a smug smile on his face: "Very good, Arthur. You did a good job."

Arthur knelt on the ground, looked up at Xiao Xian, and asked respectfully: "Master, what are your plans next?"

Xiao Xian glanced at Arthur and said coldly: "You are still a bit of an eyesore in this imperial city. It just so happens that the Olihagang warehouse is frequently robbed now. From today on, you will go to guard the Olihagang warehouse."

Using the magic circle of Kamar-Taki that covers the entire world, Xiao Xian had already found the location of Black Manta, and used magic to remotely monitor Black Manta's every move.

Now Black Manta has almost found the required share of Orihagang, and the next task is to unlock the magic seal with the royal bloodline of Atlantis.

Unlike the plot in the movie, Arthur has no children at this time. If Black Manta wants the royal bloodline of Atlantis, he has to sneak into the royal city. For this reason, Black Manta designed a whole plan to find a way to obtain Arthur's blood.

But according to Black Manta's plan, it would take at least four to five years to complete the whole process. Xiao Xian didn't have the patience to wait that long, so he simply threw Arthur into an Olihagang warehouse that Black Manta was going to attack tonight.

Arthur was somewhat reluctant when he heard this. If he left the imperial city, he would not be able to watch it live. However, he still lowered his head and accepted it respectfully: "Yes, Master."

Seeing this, Xiao Xian showed a satisfied smile: "Since you are so obedient, when you go to guard the garrison, next time you make a video call, I will let the AI ​​censor the video, and you can see everything except the censored part."

Arthur was so excited that he almost jumped up. He kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

Atlanna looked at Arthur's current appearance and said with a smile: "That's great, Arthur, you have to keep up the good work."

Meila acted coquettishly towards Xiao Xian and said in a sweet voice: "Master, I hope you can make the mosaic thicker and more."

Arthur saw Mera's look, and felt a little sad for his situation, but more of a strange excitement for Mera's words. He knew that he had completely fallen.

Atlanna looked at her son's current state, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes, but she soon returned to her smile, "That's great, Arthur. You must continue to perform well and don't let the master down."

Arthur's face turned red when he heard this, not because of shame but because of excitement. Arthur said, "Mom, I will definitely listen to my master!"

Atlanna smiled and pinched her son's cheek. "I'm glad to see you find your place."

Arthur's heart was filled with mixed emotions. While looking forward to the video call in the evening, he took an underwater submarine to guard the Olihagang warehouse.

The submarine was moving steadily underwater, and images of Atlanna and Mera kept appearing in Arthur's mind. He knew that he had been completely corrupted and had no thought of resisting anymore.

The submarine finally arrived at the Olihagang warehouse. Arthur walked out of the hatch. The garrison general who was coming saw him and immediately knelt down in surprise and saluted: "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Arthur felt a sense of irony when he saw the general of the garrison kneeling down and calling him king. He couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of how he had grovelled in front of Xiao Xian, willing to be a slave and even enjoying it. However, he still looked concerned about the country and said seriously, "Now the warehouses in Olihagang are frequently robbed. As the king, I take this very seriously, so I came here to guard it myself."

The general of the garrison said gratefully: "Your Majesty, since you are here in person to guard the warehouse, we will do our best to protect the Orihagang warehouse."

Arthur nodded and pretended to inspect the warehouse. He instructed the general to strengthen the defense and make sure everything was in order. Then Arthur went to his temporary bedroom in the warehouse and used magic to set up a barrier to prevent others from eavesdropping or interfering with the video call at night.

As time went by and night fell, Arthur became more nervous and excited. He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the video call would bring him more happiness.

"I don't know when the master will contact me." Arthur muttered to himself.

At this moment, the communicator suddenly rang. Arthur was startled and quickly pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Master?" Arthur asked cautiously.

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Arthur, can you see it?"

Arthur was so excited that he almost jumped up. "I can see it! I can see it!"

He raised his phone, and Xiao Xian, Mera and Atlanna appeared on the screen. Mera was wearing a seductive red nightgown, and Atlanna was wearing an elegant white dress, with sweet smiles on their faces.

Arthur looked at the screen, his heart filled with mixed emotions. Seeing the two women he loved so much with such happiness on their faces, he couldn't help but feel satisfied and happy in his heart.

At night, the atmosphere outside the Orihagang warehouse suddenly became tense. Black Manta, armed with two dark tridents, lurked in the shadows and quickly launched an attack. The defenders were caught off guard and soon fell into chaos. Although they tried their best, they were still defeated by Black Manta's powerful force.

The defending general in the warehouse looked at the battle outside in horror. One by one, the technologically advanced Atlantis soldiers were harvested and fell like wheat by Black Manta.

Realizing the urgency of the situation, the general immediately tried to contact Arthur, but the communication equipment could not be connected anyway. He was extremely anxious and rushed to Arthur's room for help.

The defending general came to Arthur's room and knocked on the door desperately, shouting, "Your Majesty the King! Enemy attack! Please come out quickly!" However, the door was closed tightly. No matter how hard the general knocked, there was no response from inside. Arthur was concentrating on watching Xiao Xian, Mera, and Atlanna playing Landlord in the video.

The defending general tried to use water magic to attack the door, but the magic seemed to be blocked by some powerful barrier and was ineffective.

At this moment, Black Manta appeared silently behind the general, the dark trident in his hand flashing a cold light. He sneered and stabbed suddenly, the trident piercing the general's heart. The general's eyes were full of fear and unwillingness, blood spurted out of his mouth, and then he was thrown aside by Black Manta and fell to the ground, his life gradually fading away.

Black Manta slowly walked to the door, raised the Dark Trident, and stabbed at the magic barrier. The power of darkness instantly tore the barrier apart.

After Black Manta carefully broke the barrier, he slowly opened the door, preparing himself for Arthur's possible attack. However, when he finally opened the door, the scene in front of him shocked him.

He saw Arthur kneeling on the ground, his eyes full of eagerness and admiration, and he shouted to the video: "Master, come on!" On the screen, Xiao Xian, Mera and Atlanna were happily playing Landlord, and Xiao Xian, the landlord, was very powerful, and Mera and Atlanna were beaten back.

Black Manta was stunned. He couldn't connect the servile Arthur in front of him with the murderer who brutally killed his father. The Aquaman in his memory should be a powerful and ruthless warrior, but now he seemed to have become an obedient slave.

Although Black Manta has no idea who Xiao Xian is in the picture, he is definitely not Arthur's father. As for who Mera and Atlanna are, Black Manta knows very well: one is Arthur's wife and the other is Arthur's mother.

Black Manta couldn't imagine that Arthur, who didn't even care about the defense of the warehouse, was hiding in the room, kneeling on the ground, watching other men playing Landlord with his wife and mother, and shouting "Come on!".

What made Black Manta most nervous was that the video Arthur was watching was even censored, and the key parts were completely unclear.

Arthur felt the breath behind him and turned around to see Black Manta standing at the door, holding the Dark Trident in his hand. His face suddenly changed, but a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, which made Black Manta even more confused.

Black Manta sneered and walked into the room, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. "Arthur, it seems that you have become hopeless. You are actually kneeling here, cheering for the man who is playing Landlord with your mother and Mera in the video?"

Arthur, whose secret was discovered, felt a little socially dead, but at the same time, he was very happy with an indescribable excitement. The little remaining self-esteem made Arthur immediately close the video call and argued, "Black Manta, you don't know the truth. It's not what you think it is now."

A hint of mockery flashed in Black Manta's eyes: "No, I see it clearly. Not only are you ashamed, but you are also very happy. Do you really enjoy such humiliation?"

Arthur denied it flatly: "No, it's not like that! Don't talk nonsense, I'm just playing a role."

Black Manta sneered and looked at Arthur with a hint of pleasure in his eyes: "Stop pretending. Your disguise is ridiculously poor. I wanted to kill you, but the way you look now is more pathetic than death. Perhaps letting you live and watching your wife and mother being dominated by others is the best punishment for you."

Hearing this, Arthur felt ashamed, but also inexplicably excited and stimulated. He couldn't control his emotions, and his face flushed. In fact, he didn't feel sad, but felt very happy.

Black Manta continued, "However, the master's resurrection still requires your blood, so I will capture you first. When I have used up all my blood, I will send you back and let you continue to kneel and call me master. Of course, I will be more generous and let you watch the live broadcast. I will play Landlord with Mera and Atlanna in front of you."

When Arthur heard this, he was filled with anger. He stood up suddenly and roared, "Shut up! You bastard! I won't let you touch them! Only the master can play Landlord with them, not me. I think you are courting death!"

Black Manta looked at the angry Arthur and sneered, "You are even more excited than when I scolded you. You really are a slave. But the more you resist, the more excited I am! I will prove that I am your better master."

Arthur couldn't bear it any longer when he looked at Black Manta. He could humiliate him, but he absolutely couldn't humiliate Xiao Xian. Arthur gritted his teeth, suddenly took out the golden trident, and roared: "Black Manta, today it's either you or me who will die!"

Black Manta sneered, holding the Dark Trident that was broken into two pieces, and took a fighting stance: "Come on, now that I have the Dark Trident, I may not be afraid of you!"

The two quickly clashed, and the golden trident and the dark trident collided in the sea, making a deafening sound and causing violent waves. Arthur swung the trident vigorously and quickly attacked Black Manta.

Arthur's trident pierced Black Manta's chest, but Black Manta dodged the attack by moving sideways. Black Manta took the opportunity to swing the upper part of the dark trident across Arthur's waist, but Arthur quickly stepped back and narrowly avoided it.

After dodging, Arthur quickly turned around and slashed at Black Manta's shoulder with his trident. Black Manta blocked it with his backhand, and the two tridents collided again, sparks flying. Black Manta took advantage of the momentum and jumped, kicking Arthur in the chest, causing Arthur to stagger back a few steps.

After retreating, the unconvinced Arthur steadied himself and rushed forward quickly, his trident drawing an arc and heading straight for Black Manta's neck.

Black Manta advanced instead of retreating, and the two halves of the dark trident in his hands separated. The stick part in his right hand blocked the golden trident, and the fork part in his left hand suddenly stabbed into Arthur's abdomen.

The black manta was moving too fast, and Arthur could only barely dodge it in a hurry, leaving a shallow wound on his abdomen.

After seeing Arthur injured, Black Manta's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, and he continued to attack forward, each move aimed at Arthur's vital points, and Arthur gradually became powerless. After a while, Arthur was already panting, sweat dripping down his cheeks, and the hand holding the trident began to tremble.

Black Manta took advantage of Arthur's fatigue and suddenly exerted his strength, hitting Arthur's trident with a heavy blow. Arthur's golden trident was knocked away and fell heavily to the ground. Black Manta quickly stepped forward and hit Arthur's chest with the upper part of the dark trident. Arthur groaned, flew backwards, and hit the wall heavily.

Arthur tried to get up, but his body was no longer under his control. His eyes went dark and his consciousness gradually blurred. Black Manta walked slowly in front of him and sneered, "This is much easier than I thought, Arthur."

After saying that, Black Manta hit Arthur on the back of the neck with the lower half of the Dark Trident. Arthur felt a sharp pain, then lost consciousness and fell heavily to the ground.

Black Manta looked at the unconscious Arthur, nodded with satisfaction, carried him on his shoulder, and turned to leave the room.
