Release of the fairyland blue bird, the witch said she couldn't stand it

Chapter 380 The Great Heavenly Dragon!

"hiss!"

Aquaman was initially able to remain calm when he heard the senators shaking those deep-sea thugs.

But when they heard that they had even invited the infamous deep-sea predator, the peacock mantis shrimp, they couldn't sit still any longer.

Who exactly is the peacock mantis shrimp?
Its terrifying power has long been legendary in the deep sea.

Five thousand years ago, dissatisfied with the increasing amount of marine debris thrown by humans, it single-handedly destroyed three major human cities along the coast of the Western Fantasy Continent.

Not a single one was left alive!
Even the "Holy Shackles" formation set up by the Pope and twelve Saint-level knights was shattered into pieces by its punch.

Including the Demon Shark King, which is also a predator of the ocean.

It also met a tragic end at the hands of the mantis shrimp.

The king mantis shrimp is known for its incredibly fast punches!
Who the hell can withstand the power of millions of years in a single punch?!
Legend has it that even Saint-level experts cannot see the trajectory of his punches and can only rely on prediction to deal with them.

Now this fellow has been in seclusion for a thousand years and has not died.

Perhaps they have already successfully ignited a spark of inspiration, and are poised to take another step forward.
This level of existence.

It's impossible for Aquaman not to have some doubts.

Should we run away first?

Let's go to Black Dragon Island!

It's full of black dragons, and their powerful physical attributes give them a slight advantage over mantis shrimps.

But he overlooked one thing.

That's the speed of the peacock mantis shrimp.

To his utter surprise, the mantis shrimp headed straight for Atlantis without the slightest hesitation.

While Aquaman was still hesitating, a powerful sense of oppression appeared directly above the entire Atlantis.

They're here?!
The dome of Atlantis suddenly trembled violently, and the pillars of the entire crystal palace groaned under the strain.

People on the street looked up in horror and saw that the seawater had been dyed an eerie crimson.

"Royal City Defense System activated!"

Neptune shattered the armrest of the throne, and his scepter, inlaid with water-repelling beads, slammed heavily onto the ground.

The nine coral totem poles inlaid with magic crystals should have lit up at the same time, but at this moment only the four corners of the east, west, south and north emitted a faint light.

The whale-man priest in charge of controlling the central totem reported tremblingly:

"Report to Neptune! Shocking news! The Elder Council and the Council Hall have refused to activate the remaining five lines of defense!"

"what!"

Aquaman is furious!
I never expected that these old fogies would stop acting altogether!

The nine barriers complement each other, and their power is greatly reduced if even one is missing, let alone the fact that more than half of them are missing.
'Crack--'

Faced with the invincible Mantis Fist, the first barrier enveloping Atlantis shattered like an eggshell.

The king mantis shrimp's mountain-like shadow enveloped the entire city.

On the Pearl Tower in the aristocratic district, Senator Maurice held a wine glass and sneered, the sea grape juice inside as red as blood.

With each punch that landed, the entire city of Atlantis trembled.

The sound of crying echoed through the streets and alleys.

The underwater plants curled up wildly.

Just as a patrol of lobster soldiers raised their steel forks, their armor was suddenly shattered into dust by some unseen force.

The drunken swordfish knight in the tavern suddenly sobered up and immediately hid under the table.

Blue blood seeped from between Aquaman's clenched fingers.

Through the magical projection in front of him, he could clearly see several elders standing on the dome of the council, the [Veto Order] in their hands still glowing with the lingering magical light.

Behind them, a dozen or so lawmakers were using photo booths and mobile phones to document the disaster.

These images will undoubtedly be edited into evidence for "Aquaman's Misrule".

When the fourth barrier shattered, the seawater throughout the royal city began to boil.

The ice crystal necklaces worn by the nobles in advance automatically formed a protective shield, while cooked fish and shrimp were already floating in the slums.

As Neptune unleashed countless treasures to create a new barrier, he suddenly remembered the president's advice:
Some decaying corals on the seabed can only be burned away using the hottest lava.

I was too soft-hearted!

All I knew was to follow the president's orders, forcibly confiscate all the communication devices of these noble gentlemen, and put them under house arrest!

Once the Spiritual Continent sends the "Holy Land Alliance" to be stationed there, all problems will cease to exist.

Although Atlantis possesses many treasures.

However, there are only so many defensive treasures left. Without the original barrier, even the most powerful treasures cannot withstand the attack of the mantis shrimp.

Even more serious is...

Neptune could clearly sense that several powerful auras were heading towards him.

We have to take action!

Taking action doesn't guarantee survival, but not taking action guarantees death!
"A devastating wave of destruction!"

With a full-force strike wielding Neptune's Scepter, the mantis shrimp was forced back several miles.

"good."

However, the latter seemed to have suffered no real damage. After calmly bumping his fist, he beckoned to Aquaman with a provocative gesture.

I glanced around.

Upon discovering that his guards and army were all gone, Aquaman's lips twitched. He realized that his guards had either been turned against him or had met with misfortune. In the vast world of Atlantis, he was now utterly alone.

But instead of retreating, he advanced:

"Then I'll kill you, you beast, first!"

"Well done!"

The mantis shrimp didn't retreat either, assuming a stance ready to clash head-on with the sea king.

At this moment, Aquaman understood very well that he had nowhere left to retreat and could only fight to the death!
If we kill this beast, the other beings might just retreat.

As the king of Atlantis, he must have had unparalleled confidence in his own strength.

'boom! ’

Neptune radiated a deep blue divine light, and with a wave of his scepter, he drew upon the power of the entire Western Sea.

Countless water tornadoes rose from the abyss, each one entwined with ancient Atlantean runes, rushing towards the crimson figure like a swarm of dragons devouring the sky.

"Nothing more than that!"

The king mantis shrimp grinned, and three thousand blood-red stars appeared on its carapace.

Six pairs of appendages traced the path of the Great Dao, tearing open six void rifts in the deep sea.

As soon as those waterspouts, comparable to mountains, approached, they were shredded into a sky full of mist by the chaotic energy gushing from the cracks.

‘Boom——’

Suddenly, the shrimp king's forelimbs burst forth with blinding blood light. Before the fist even arrived, the entire sea area had already boiled and evaporated, creating a vacuum zone of nearly a hundred miles.

The several deep-sea overlords who had just arrived were terrified and retreated in panic!

The two sides fought to the point of madness.

As rumored, the mantis shrimp's fist-like movements are so fast they are almost impossible to catch.

Moreover, its force is extremely great.

Each collision sent a shockwave through Aquaman's body.

Aquaman gritted his teeth and retreated, the 'Tear of the Abyss' at the top of his scepter, inherited from the first Aquaman, emitting a blinding blue light.

The azure crystal core transformed into nine ring-shaped barriers, each reflecting a different illusory image of an underwater era.

The outermost layer is clearly the apocalyptic tsunami from the end of the last era.

‘Crack! ’

When the shrimp fist touched the first barrier, all the phantoms simultaneously let out a mournful cry.

The second barrier transformed directly into a shower of blue light, while the ancient sea god relief of the third barrier shattered before it could fully manifest.

It wasn't until the seventh level that the speed of the punches slowed down slightly.

"The Era of Sea Burial!"

Neptune suddenly bit his tongue and spat out a spell containing his life essence.

The shattered fragments of the scepter formed a star map in the void, triggering twelve magic circles that slumbered in the magma of the seabed.

With the blessing of the magic circle, the scepter also transformed into its final battle form—the Trident of Poseidon!

The trident guided the divine power of the ocean, unleashing devastating force as it hurtled towards the mantis shrimp.

"That's interesting."

The shrimp king neither dodged nor avoided, and two blood-red vortexes suddenly appeared in its compound eyes.

Those lava pillars, powerful enough to incinerate a great being, were twisted into crimson threads by the vortex, eventually weaving a wave pattern on its forelimb carapace.

Against the sky!
The Sea King's body trembled; this guy must have entered the half-step Divine Fire Realm!
Another punch came out.

This punch was different from the previous ones; it was slow, so slow that even a three-year-old child could easily dodge it.

But everyone, including Aquaman.

They all felt as if their bodies were frozen in place—no, not their bodies, but time itself was frozen by that punch.

As the fist approached Aquaman.

The flame emblem on the shrimp king's shell burst into flames.

This is the ultimate law of fire, comprehended from underwater volcanoes!
Wherever the fist passed, space peeled away like fragile glass, revealing the pitch-black void behind it.

The forbidden water-based spell, "Abyss Hymn," which Neptune had hastily condensed, was shattered by this punch.

"puff--"

Aquaman coughed up blood and retreated hundreds of miles, crashing into and shattering seven underwater mountain ranges.

The Neptune Pearl embedded in his chest turned to dust, and every mouthful of blood he coughed up turned into scalding lava.

"It's time to finish."

The Shrimp King walked through the shattered space, its six pairs of appendages lighting up simultaneously:

"You've forced me to use 80% of my strength; that's enough."

"Stop! You audacious fiend! This humble monk can tell at a glance that you are not human!"

Sudden.

A loud, resonant voice reached the ears of the mantis shrimp.

Are they reinforcements for Aquaman?

Sensing the menacing approach of its opponent, the mantis shrimp turned around, only to be met with countless powerful Buddhist teachings accompanying a shower of light.
"Hmph! You dare to show off your meager skills before an expert! Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon! Prajna Buddhas! World Honored Ksitigarbha, Paramita Hum!"
