I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Upon hearing this, Arthur said helplessly, "Well, my talent actually lies elsewhere."

Suddenly, the interior of the warship began to shake violently.

Then, the entire warship exploded instantly, and the huge flames and shockwaves broke through the water prison that Mera had created.

"They're out!" Mera raised her trident, assuming a fighting stance: "Atlantis, heed my command!"

As she spoke, Mera exuded a regal aura, appearing as solemn and dignified as a sea queen, and the waves beneath her feet began to rise higher and higher.

At the same time, under the full force of the attack, the camouflage on Mera's Trident began to fall off piece by piece, revealing its true appearance.

Mera was holding Neptune's Trident!

Before Zod and his group arrived, Depp lent Mera the Neptune Trident, which was infused with purple lightning, so that she would have the power to fight the Kryptonians.

Behind Mera, countless Atlanteans emerged from the water, including Zesruru who came up from underground.

Behind Arthur, countless sea creatures gathered, waiting for his orders like warriors.

Especially the giant shark beneath his feet, its gaping maw like an abyss.

As the flames from the explosion subsided, two people wearing Kryptonian suits leaped from the wreckage of the warship and charged toward Mera and Arthur, respectively.

The Kryptonians were too fast, leaving Arthur and Mera no time to command the rest of the Atlanteans and marine life.

Bang!

Bang!

After two loud noises, Arthur and Mera were both knocked into the sea by the Kryptonians.

Upon entering the ocean, their combat power increased once again, and Arthur immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the Kryptonian.

Because of the Kryptonite blades of the trident, the Kryptonians' power was immediately weakened, and Arthur actually gained the upper hand.

On the other side, Mera wielded her trident, constantly releasing purple lightning. Although there was no kryptonite on the blade of Neptune's trident, Mera's battle suit was inlaid with a lot of kryptonite as decoration.

Therefore, under the sudden weakening, the two Kryptonians immediately found themselves in a fierce battle.

However, due to the Kryptonian suits, neither of them was immediately defeated.

They exchanged a glance and then simultaneously retreated.

"They seem to have something that can negate the power we gain from the yellow sun!"

"This is impossible!"

With two splashes, the two Kryptonian warriors leaped out of the sea and immediately began to talk.

At the same time, the suit's communication system issued a notification, and after the connection was made, Fiora's voice came through it.

"Attention all fellow human beings, Earthlings possess a special mineral that can eliminate our power. This mineral is called kryptonite by them and is a green, translucent crystal."

"Please be careful to avoid close combat unless you are certain that the enemy does not have Kryptonite, or that their Kryptonite weapons have been destroyed by you."

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

"Fiora, you did a great job!"

In mid-air, once the two Kryptonians realized their power had been restored, they immediately twisted their bodies in mid-air to face the sea.

On the sea, Mera and Arthur simultaneously leaped out of the water, wielding their tridents and charging straight at the Kryptonian warriors in the sky.

Just then, heat rays shot out from the Kryptonian warrior's eyes, directly towards the two of them.

Arthur and Mera instinctively drew their tridents for defense.

But the heat rays were too powerful, and Arthur's trident, which he inherited from his mother, was instantly melted into molten iron.

Arthur was also hit squarely by the heat rays and fell directly into the water.

Mera's Neptune Trident, being a divine weapon, was much tougher. It was not melted by the heat rays, but instead cut the heat rays into countless smaller rays.

Some of these rays passed around Mera, while others landed on her.

The heat rays from the kryptonite on her body struck her and instantly turned her into dust.

Seeing that all the objects that looked like Kryptonite had been destroyed by the heat rays, the two Kryptonians rushed back into the water.

This time, Arthur, who was unarmed, immediately found himself in a tough fight.

Without the weakening effect of Kryptonite on the Kryptonians, Arthur's power was completely suppressed by his opponent.

Fortunately, the battlefield is now the ocean. Although Arthur is being suppressed badly, the advantage of playing on home ground still gives him room to fight back.

On the other side, Mera, wielding Neptune's Trident and surrounded by purple lightning, was also fighting her opponent to a standstill.

Even so, both Arthur and Mera knew that without Kryptonite, they were doomed to defeat.

It's nothing more than a death throes.

As for the other Atlanteans and marine life...

Their timely arrival was nothing more than a gift to the enemy!

Therefore, for the sake of her people's comfort, Mera had already issued a warning, telling them to immediately stay away from the center of the battlefield.

At this moment, the Atlantic Ocean is boiling, and the whole earth is like a giant pot of boiling water.

A huge column of water shot into the sky, signifying that someone had thrown another punch.

If an ordinary person were to enter the heart of the battle now, he would be torn to shreds by the surging currents of the sea in an instant.

The four fought their way to the deep sea, to the ancient ruins of Atlantis, where Arthur was already dizzy from the Kryptonians' attacks.

The Kryptonian glanced down and immediately said to his companion, "We're running out of oxygen, we should go up."

After saying that, he pulled the almost unconscious Arthur and swam towards the sea.

Seeing this, another Kryptonian also tried to return to the surface, but was blocked by Mera's trident.

"Don't even think about escaping!" Mera raised her trident and thrust it into the Kryptonian's head, saying, "Atlantis isn't a place you can come and go as you please!"

It has to be said that with the combined buffs of Neptune's Trident and underwater combat, Mera's combat power has increased by more than one level.

Because he was in the sea, the Kryptonian warrior lost the energy replenishment from the sun, so for a time he was unable to shake off Mera's pursuit and reach the surface.

"Hey girl, do you really enjoy having sex with men in the water?"

"I'm furious," the Kryptonian warrior said, then punched Mera in the face.

Mera dodged the punch by swinging backward like a fish, but the current created by the punch affected her position.

Taking advantage of Mera being swept away by the ocean current, the Kryptonian warriors immediately turned around and tried to leave.

Mera raised her hand and lifted Neptune's Trident, and purple-gold lightning shot out from the tip of the trident, striking the Kryptonian warrior squarely in the back.

Mera then swam gracefully behind the Kryptonian warrior like a mermaid. At this moment, Mera was clearly furious. She said, "I didn't give you permission to leave, you alien scum!"

Above the sea, the Kryptonian warrior, holding Arthur's arm, took a step onto the sea and soared into the sky.

In the sky, Arthur opened his eyes and saw the Kryptonian warrior with a mocking expression in front of him.

"You... alien trash, like a cockroach..."

Before Arthur could finish speaking, heat rays began to gather in the eyes of the Kryptonian opposite him.

With a hiss, a beam of heat shot out and pierced straight through Arthur's chest.

"You mere ant, how dare you yell at me?" The Kryptonian warrior swung his arm, sending Arthur flying. "Let me torment you for the sake of my fallen brethren!"

The Kryptonian warrior stomped his left foot hard in the air, as if stepping on a solid object, and moved into the air, heading straight for Arthur.

At this moment, Arthur had already lost the ability to move and could only watch helplessly as the Kryptonian warriors rapidly approached him, and then rained down fists on him.

Am I still...too weak?

Arthur closed his eyes, his heart filled with helplessness.

Chapter 360 The Battle of Metropolis (Sixteen)

Africa, Republic of Congo.

David Zeviben, the bat-winged warrior, stood on the rooftop, using a high-powered scope to look at Grandi and the Kryptonians in the center of the battlefield, his heart filled with resentment.

But there was nothing he could do; the battle ahead was simply beyond his control.

David tilted his head slightly, dodging a piece of gravel that had bounced from ten kilometers away.

"How long have these monsters been hiding on Earth?"

Ten kilometers away in an open field, Grandi's grayish-white skin was covered with cement-colored scabs and pus.

Opposite him, two Kryptonian warriors were panting heavily, their eyes filled with confusion.

The overweight Kryptonian said to his companion, "What kind of monster is this? How can he still stand up?"

Beside him, another slender Kryptonian warrior said helplessly, "How should I know? What kind of place is this planet? Why are there so many strange races here?"

"Never mind all that," said the fat Kryptonian warrior. "Let's unleash another heat blast. This time we need to hold out a bit and roast this guy to a crisp in one go!"

"Exactly what I want!"

After saying that, the two raised their eyes and looked at Grandi, who was standing in the distance with an angry expression.

Four heat rays shot out simultaneously, heading straight for Grandi.

Grandi possesses strength comparable to the Hulk and Superman, and is immortal.

But Grandi's speed and intelligence have always been his weaknesses.

As the heat rays approached, Grandi didn't even try to dodge. He just stood there, stretching out his hands to try and block them.

The orange-red heat rays collided with Grandi's broad, grayish-white palm, and Grandi's palm immediately began to turn charred black.

The smell of expired roasted pork, accompanied by wisps of black smoke, filled the air, and even Grandy himself found it somewhat pungent and nauseating.

Soon, Grandi's extraordinary regenerative abilities began to take effect, and grayish-white buds began to appear from his charred palms, only to be burned to ashes again by the continuous heat rays.

Soon, the charred black color began to spread backward from Grandi's wrist.

Only when Grandi collapsed completely, turning into a charred mess, did the two Kryptonian warriors finally stop the heat rays.
