American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

Atlanna's expression was serious. She had just felt an extremely strong fluctuation of divine power from Dane.

And its strength is even greater than the Neptune's Trident she saw in the deep sea cave!

Even if this person is not a god, he is at least a demigod like Achilles! She thought to herself.

But the moment she saw Arthur, a feeling of blood being thicker than water suddenly surged in her heart.

She no longer cared about anything else and hurried to Arthur.

Although he had a beard, Atlanna recognized at a glance that this was her child.

"Arthur, my child..." She held Arthur's head in her arms.

Hearing this voice, Arthur woke up instantly, then raised his head and looked into Atlanna's eyes.

Thomas often took their old photos to remember her, so Arthur recognized her at a glance. A warm feeling suddenly surged in his heart, that was admiration.

He stammered, "You, you are..."

Atlanna simply nodded and pulled him into her arms again.

Arthur felt a little awkward, but also a little warm. He hadn't felt maternal love for a long time.

At this time, Vico also woke up dazed. He looked to the side and suddenly shuddered, as if he had suddenly drunk a sip of ice cola in the middle of summer.

Then he immediately squatted down and knelt on one knee in front of Atlanna.

"Her Majesty the Queen!"

Atlanna finally saw him and said gently, "I haven't been queen for a long time, Vico. Get up."

Vico said solemnly: "The Queen will always be the Queen!"

Atlanna was very relieved. It seemed that she was not too defeated after all and still had some loyal subordinates.

After a long while, she began to ask questions: "Why are you here?"

Arthur then slapped his head and quickly pulled Dane over.

"Mom, let me introduce you, this is the boss of the Justice League, Shazam!"

Dane glanced at him and said, "Look at what you said..."

That's true.

Atlanna looked at Dane, her expression becoming serious again.

"Excuse me, which god are you?"

Atlanna could feel the divine power of Dane, but she could not know his specific priesthood. However, she guessed that he should be one of the Olympian gods.

However, she guessed wrong.

Dane shook his head. "I am not any of the Greek gods you know. I simply possess their powers. You can think of me as a demigod."

Atlanna hesitated to speak. She was a little worried that Dane was coming for the Trident, but she didn't know how to stop him if this was true.

Even though Dane said he was only a demigod, Atlanna knew in her heart that even if she added the Trident of Neptune, she might not be able to defeat him. She felt a little worried.

After being queen for so many years, Atlanna is no longer the innocent girl who only pursues true love. It is hard to say whether she can still be attracted to Thomas now.

Dane seemed to see something, but also seemed not to, but he quickly dispelled Atlanna's worries.

"Arthur, this is where the trident is. Go get it now without delay!"

Now Atlanna knew the purpose of their visit and quickly dismissed the random thoughts in her mind.

"Are you here looking for the Trident? Great! I've been trying over the years, but that monster always stopped me."

"Monster?" Arthur gave him a puzzled look.

Atlanna nodded and said solemnly, "Karasen, it is a giant sea beast that guards the trident. Only a true king can pass its test and obtain the trident..."

Arthur is young and energetic, and this is a time when his self-confidence is overflowing.

He really wanted to show off in front of his mother, so he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, mother, I will get it!"

Mera gave him a disapproving look.

Unlike in the movies, Mera at this time has not experienced adventures with Arthur and is not familiar with him.

From her first impression, she didn't think Arthur would be a good king.

At least Om still looks like a nobleman. Although he lacks the aura of a king, he can still pretend to be somewhat decent.

But Arthur was just like a drunkard and a gangster.

He is too far away from the word "king".

Instead...

Mera glanced at Dane secretly. She felt that if it was this man, maybe he would be more suitable. But... why wasn't he from the Sea Clan...

Mera didn't realize that her thoughts were slipping in an unpredictable direction.

Atlanna and Vicco didn't notice Mera's look. They were very pleased and believed from the bottom of their hearts that Arthur could succeed, so they both sent him their blessings.

"In that case, let's go quickly! Before Om knows..."

"Om, what did he do?" Some bad thoughts flashed through Atlanna's mind.

Mera explained to her quietly, "He wants to start a war between the two worlds, and he's almost succeeded!"

Atlanna immediately said, "Then Arthur must get the trident as soon as possible and stop him!"

Poor Orm, Dane shook his head.

From Om's perspective, there was nothing wrong with what he did. It was a pity that except for a few supporters, most of the sea people were content with the status quo.

Even Atlanna's family is more inclined to live in peace with the surface world. Om is weak and alone.

Atlanna quickly led everyone to a waterfall. She pointed at the waterfall and said to Arthur, "The trident is inside. Arthur, you have to go through this test alone..."

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Dane always felt that Atlanna was on guard against him.

Although he had thought about using the trident before, he no longer lacked artifacts.

Huh? Not quite...

Dane pinched his chin and thought about it. He didn't even have a real main battle weapon!

But when you think about Shazam, the god of death, is it okay for him to hold a harpoon? That picture would be too beautiful...

Arthur nodded confidently to Atlanna, then lowered the pentadent and went into the waterfall.

As soon as he entered, Arthur felt that he had come to a gloomy water area. There were too few light sources around and it was difficult for him to tell the direction.

He swam for a long time but still couldn't find the so-called trident. However, he gradually felt some changes in the surrounding water flow.

He turned around suddenly and found a huge eye staring at him.

"Damn thief!"

He seemed to hear someone talking, and then a huge tentacle hit him. Upon closer inspection, he found that the tentacle was as thick as his entire waist, and there were suction discs on it like octopus tentacles.

Arthur was knocked flying, and his back hit the stone wall directly. This was a man-made structure!

He looked back and saw a throne on the steps. On the seat was a yellow and green inner armor and a golden trident.

Arthur knew he had found his target, so he pushed the current with both hands and swam towards it.

"Don't even think about it!"

The voice appeared again. Arthur turned his head and almost had a heart attack!

What a huge monster it was! Its mouth seemed to swallow the entire ocean. It also had two huge claws. Arthur had no doubt that each of them could easily destroy a submarine.

It's simply a real-life Kraken!

Arthur swam forward desperately and was almost able to touch the trident.

"Do you think you can get the king's weapons with such a trick?"

Arthur's forward movement came to an abrupt halt. He looked back and saw a thinner tentacle grabbing his ankle and pulling him little by little towards the giant monster.

"You must be Karasen..."

Arthur's whole body was tightly bound by tentacles, which caused him some pain.

"You, seem to understand what I say?"

Karasen's big head was tilted to the side, and his huge eyes were staring at Arthur.

Arthur said, "Yes I understand. Can you let me go, man? This hurts."

"It's incredible. No one has been able to communicate with me for thousands of years except the King of Atlantis. Who are you, a thief?"

"I'm not a thief. My name is Arthur Curry, and I will be your new king!"

"What a loud tone!"

After hearing this, Karasen probably understood that the human in front of him should be a descendant of King Atlan, so he loosened his tentacles.

"Then I will give you a chance to prove yourself and see if you are really the king's heir as you say!"

Chapter 156 The qualifications of the king

When Arthur heard that Karasen didn't seem to believe him, he felt a little competitive.

"Okay! Then just watch carefully!"

He turned around and reached for the trident, closing his hands and grabbing it easily.

Arthur was delighted and was about to pull it out when suddenly an electric current burst out from the trident. The trident flashed with white light and sent Arthur flying.

"How could this be?" Arthur didn't expect this result.

Perhaps because Vicco and Atlanna sounded too confident, he also thought that he would definitely be able to obtain the trident. However, the current situation was beyond his expectations.

He couldn't imagine how disappointed his mother and Vico would be when he got out. He didn't want to see that look, so he swam forward hard, wanting to try again.

But Karasen didn't give him the chance.

"You're so arrogant, boy!"

The huge tentacle threw Arthur out again, and he was completely unable to withstand Karasen's power.

"Your heart is dishonest, Arthur Curry. You may have the potential to become king, but you're still a little short. Think carefully about where you're lacking..."

After saying that, Karasen's huge body rolled over, causing a violent current in the water, which directly pushed Arthur out of the water.

"Do not--!"

Arthur's voice faded away, and the waters returned to calm.

Outside, the people who were waiting suddenly saw the waterfall explode with water, and a figure flew out from the middle. It was Arthur.

Mera noticed that his hands were empty and had a bad feeling in her heart.

Atlanna and Vico rushed forward and helped him up.

But he saw that Arthur looked extremely shocked, and then he saw that the trident was not in his hand, and he understood immediately.

Arthur said dejectedly: "I didn't get any recognition..."

Atlanna asked anxiously, "Didn't Karasen let you get close to the trident?"

"No, it gave me a chance." Arthur shook his head, his eyes still looking at the waterfall: "It's just that I didn't seize it..."

Now everyone was in a dilemma. Without the trident, they would not be able to have absolute rule over Atlantis.

Although you can still compete for Orm's throne through the "King's Challenge", Orm is a warrior who has been trained in water since childhood and has very strong underwater combat capabilities.

Many people don’t realize that underwater combat is similar to air combat in that it is three-dimensional, and it is crucial to have a sense of direction and three-dimensional space.

However, Arthur received most of his training on land. He was invincible on land, but the land battlefield was flat, which was completely different from water battles.

Vico estimated in his mind that if Arthur and Orm fought on land, Arthur would most likely win.

But if the battle takes place in water, Om will most likely win.

But the King's Battle must be held in water, and there are not many spectators who can breathe on land, so they will definitely prefer to abide by tradition.

Things are getting tricky.

Mera looked at the scene in front of her with a clear mind. She even thought it was normal that Arthur could not get the trident.
