Most people at home and abroad can actually guess the United States’ little thoughts. How could it not react at all after being invaded by Atlantis?

"What are they going to do?" Arthur asked hurriedly.

Dane explained to him: "They plan to use a genetic weapon to target the genetic information fragments of the underwater people, causing all of them to suffer from heart failure..."

"This is anti-humanity!" Arthur roared.

If it was just a military action, it would be fine, with everyone going back and forth and no one saying anything.

But if genetic weapons are deployed, even civilians will be included in the attack range!

Although Atlantis did the same thing at the time, it is normal for people to have double standards.

"It's not that simple." Dane motioned him to be patient.

"673 I suspect other forces were involved in this matter, and it wasn't just the directive of the military brass."

"What do you mean?"

Dane retrieved all the data about the genetic weapon, which were copied from the Lex Group's computer, and sent them to Arthur.

Arthur was so dizzy that he couldn't figure out anything after reading it for a long time. He could only say helplessly: "Why don't you just tell me the conclusion directly."

This report was not originally meant for him to see. Dane hoped that he could give it to Atlanna or Victoire so that they could judge the situation.

"The conclusion is that this genetic weapon is not just aimed at the Atlanteans, but at all of humanity!

The mastermind behind this is not helping the United States at all; his goal has been to target all of humanity from the very beginning."

"It's still anti-human!" Arthur cursed.

Seeing that he still didn't understand, Dane simply chose to say directly: "I suspect this is most likely the work of alien forces."

As for why he didn't suspect that the problem was with the magical world, it was because he hadn't received any warning from the Rock of Eternity, and the Seven Deadly Sins were still sealed well.

Arthur scratched his head, wondering how this matter involved aliens.

Of course, he had no doubts, but he was a little depressed. The Seaside City incident had not happened long ago, so how come the Earth was being targeted by aliens again?

Go ahead and target me. I just returned to Atlantis a few days ago and you're targeting me. Isn't that a bit disrespectful?

"Dane, what do you think about this?"

He habitually asked Dane for advice.

"You should discuss this matter with your mother first. This involves a crisis for all of humanity. The Justice League is willing to lend a helping hand to Atlantis."

Arthur agreed without hesitation, and after disconnecting the video connection, he immediately went to find Queen Atlanna to tell her about the matter.

Chapter 166 The Enemy in the Pentagon

After listening to Arthur's story, Atlanna took it very seriously. Now the confidence of Atlantis has been severely hit. If something goes wrong at this time, let alone revival, it will be difficult to maintain it.

As soon as they returned to Atlantis, they exposed Om's crimes. They had to find someone to take the blame for the failure of this war, and it had to be Om.

Although Atlanna has returned, the fact that she had an affair with the surface people has not been exposed, so she is no longer suitable to be queen.

After consultations in Parliament, with the royal bloodline now fading, they had no choice but to accept Arthur as the new king.

What's more, Arthur also possesses the sacred trident. The parliament can deny Arthur's bloodline, but it cannot deny that he is the successor of King Atlantis chosen by the trident.

But he and Om did not go through the king's challenge ceremony, so it is conceivable that his throne is not stable.

Arthur has a very straightforward temper, and he and the Atlanteans are basically in a state of dislike for each other.

Atlanna and Vico tried hard to teach Arthur how to be a qualified king, but the effect was not as good as expected.

She could see that Arthur wanted to be a superhero in the Justice League rather than a king.

But that won’t work! At least not now.

The Atlantis army had just been beaten up by two giants of the Justice League, and now their own king had to go and serve as their underling. How hurtful to national pride...

But all these are minor issues compared to the survival of the race.

Not only the Justice League, Atlanna also wants to use this opportunity to re-establish brotherly relations with other kingdoms.

Previously, under the rule of Orm, the ties between the kingdoms had gradually become distant. Now, perhaps it was an opportunity to repair this relationship.

"Arthur, this isn't just a matter between us and the surface people. We also need to inform the other kingdoms about this matter so they can prepare as well!"

After the Atlantis Empire sank into the sea, it split into seven kingdoms.

In addition to the lost kingdom that has turned into the Sahara Desert, the trench kingdom that has degenerated into a sea monster, and the unknown kingdom that is so mysterious that no one can figure out what is going on.

The four remaining kingdoms have been in a state of peace and stability for a long time. Although there are some minor frictions, they are generally advancing and retreating together.

This can be seen from the fact that the Kingdom of Zebel can allow its princess to study at the Atlantis Magic Academy.

Because of this relationship, Atlanna decided to make the Kingdom of Zebel her first stop.

At the same time, she also agreed with Arthur that Shazam could have the right to enter and leave Atlantis freely.

Anyway, even if she doesn't agree, there's nothing we can do about that person.

Atlanna originally wanted to take Arthur to the Kingdom of Xebel to meet King Nereus.

But considering that Atlantis cannot be without a king, and his own wishes, he finally had no choice but to lead the team alone.

What a pity, she had wanted Arthur and Merado to interact with each other, it would be even better if they could develop some feelings...

This would make Arthur's succession to the throne smoother.

So Atlanna left with a diplomatic team. They would go to the Heimu Triangle, where the Kingdom of Zebel was hidden somewhere in a secret place.

At the same time, Dane started to call people in the Hall of Justice again.

Not long after, all the members of the Justice League gathered again.

They all knew that this time something big was probably going to happen again.

Nightwing couldn't help but complain: "Am I the only one who thinks so? In recent years, I feel like disasters have happened too frequently~!"

Red Hood said nothing, but nodded in agreement.

"There's no point in talking about this now, Dane. Tell me, what's the problem this time?"

This time Hal also came to attend the meeting. He finally returned to Earth from Oa.

Carol has been tormenting him a lot these days, and he has lost a lot of weight visibly.

The experienced men present couldn't help but give him meaningful looks.

This made him very embarrassed, and he couldn't help but want to slap himself. Why did he say that?

Dane drew everyone's attention back.

"Martian Manhunter just gave me news not long ago, saying that the generals of the United States are planning to launch a military retaliation against Atlantis."

"As far as I know, the military doesn't have this capability, especially for underwater operations."

Batman obviously also has his own information channels. He has found out that Atlantis sank the submarine with only a small team.

And no large underwater facilities were used.

Dane nodded. "That's right. So this time, the military is planning to do the same. They hope to use a small team to attack Atlantis."

"How?" Batman frowned.

Dane gestured, and the Martian Manhunter nodded, then said slowly, "Everyone, please relax your minds."

Batman seemed to have a slight aversion. He didn't like anyone entering his brain, whether he wanted to take something from it or put something in it.

But this time he did not resist, but calmly accepted the Martian Manhunter's telepathy.

It felt a little strange that Hawkwoman was the only one standing there.

Her N-type helmet was able to completely suppress the Martian Hunter's telepathy, so she felt nothing.

In the end, it was Dane who took action. He passed his memories to Hawkwoman, letting her know what had happened.

"It's crazy."

"This is ridiculous!"

"Is the military inhumane?"

Martian Manhunter remained silent, as if few people knew that he was actually a member of the military...

There's nothing he can do, this dumb guy has suffered the loss.

Batman was skeptical. After what happened in Coast City, these guys would still dare to make such a rash decision?

"Is there something wrong with that admiral?" he raised his suspicion.

Dane nodded, feeling a little emotional. Batman is Batman. It only took a few minutes for him to find the real problem.

"...Indeed, I suspect this admiral has ulterior motives. My investigation into this genetic weapon reveals that it targets all humans, not just the Atlanteans as he claims."

My goodness, this is even more outrageous!

"Why would he do that?" Batman asked immediately.

But Dane shook his head. "Unfortunately, the general's residence is isolated from the internet, so Cortana can't find out more information."

Batman immediately said: "Leave this matter to me!"

He is best at investigating cases.

"We're here to help too!" Nightwing quickly pulled Red Hood over with him, and Jason acted as if Ata was ignoring him.

"Everyone, I have a strong feeling that this incident may be another alien threat, so everyone please be careful!"

"So what do we need to do?" Wonder Woman asked.

"Everything remains the same. Stay alert and be ready to fight at any time," said Dane.

As long as Amanda's actions remained under his watch, the matter remained under control.

The most important thing at the moment is no longer the genetic weapon. After stealing the specific data of this weapon from the Lex Group, he spent a little time and developed a chemical agent that can reverse neutralize this weapon.

So the issue of genetic weapons is not really a problem. What is more important is how to find out who is behind it.

From this action, it can be seen that the mastermind and alien forces behind the scenes are hiding very deeply, following a route similar to Marvel's "Secret War".

Huh? So, is it possible that these aliens can change their appearance freely like the Skrulls?

Dane rubbed his chin in thought.

It’s not impossible!

So is there such an alien force in the DC world that invades other planets through secret infiltration?

Dane took out his Green Lantern ring from the warehouse and put it on, then searched the database inside and he actually found it.

An unknown life form, codenamed "Parasite".

This race survives by parasitizing other life forms and absorbing their vitality. It possesses extremely advanced biochemical technology and strong self-adaptability.

The best among the "Parasites" can even absorb the abilities of their opponents for their own use, including superpowers.

This made Dane think of a very tricky villain.

——Parasitic Demon! .

Chapter 167 Aquaman's First Public Appearance

Dane finally suppressed his inner speculation for the time being.

If it was a parasitic demon, it would not need to take such a roundabout way to invade. It should have directly challenged the Justice League in a one-on-one fight.

After all, in the face of its power, the more people there are, the more beneficial it is to its absorption ability, and the stronger the people besieging it, the stronger it will become.

Therefore, Dane guessed that, at least for now, the mastermind behind this should not be the parasitic demon he imagined.

"Cortana, is the rough outline of the dream complete?"

Cortana's apparition reappeared in the hall.

"90.83 completed."

Dane nodded and continued, "Take out the Dream Stone first. I can use it."

"Ok."
