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

Of course he knew about orichalcum. In the history of the old empire, King Atlan had a brother who had relied on this special high-energy mineral, orichalcum, to build a very powerful kingdom, which was even able to compete with the divided Kingdom of Atlantis.

If he remembered correctly, that kingdom practiced a kind of necromancy-related black magic, but it was sealed by the old king's blood magic during the final battle with King Atlan.

"I remember from your underwater history that orichalcum was mined and manufactured by the Desert Kingdom?"

The Desert Kingdom is the only race among the seven underwater kingdoms that lives on land. Before the empire sank into the sea, the Desert Kingdom was the first to leave the Kingdom Alliance, so it is also called the "Deserter Kingdom."

From this point of view, it is not rigorous to classify the Desert Kingdom as one of the seven underwater kingdoms, because the Desert Kingdom has never lived in the ocean.

However, this kingdom has extremely excellent mineral mining technology and weapon casting technology. The golden trident in Arthur's hand today was cast by the Desert Kingdom.

Later, this became a routine. When other kingdoms were making their own royal weapons, they would refer to the technology of the Desert Kingdom, and even go to the Desert Kingdom to ask them for help in casting.

"You're right, that's true, but we're not very familiar with the people of the Desert Kingdom. I heard that the people of the Fisherman Kingdom seem to be closer to them."

Dane found it very interesting that the kingdom that lacked water the most and the kingdom that could not live without water the most were the closest in diplomacy. This was very interesting.

"What kind of help does your counterpart want from me?" Dane asked, gathering his wandering thoughts.

Mera patted his palm lightly, seeming to be somewhat dissatisfied with the term "alone".

“We are different.”

Dane pulled her into his arms and said gently, "I know. Of course I know you're different. You're better."

Mera lay in his arms and felt peace in her heart. Unlike the Queen of the Sea Mera in this world, Mera's feelings were completely placed on Dane.

Considering that the other person looks exactly like her and is very responsible to the sea people, Mera is willing to help her to the best of her ability.

But she doesn't want Queen Mera to take advantage of the relationship between Mera and Dane to make excessive demands, which is why she just said that they are different.

This is also the reason why Dane said she was better, because Mera was obviously thinking from his perspective on this matter.

But it was rare for his girlfriend to ask for his help, so Dane was unwilling to refuse directly. Moreover, if he thought about it carefully, this matter might be profitable.

Dane thought for a moment and then asked softly, "What does she want me to do?"

Mera raised her head, her delicate face was so white that it seemed to be glowing, and it looked very dreamy against the backdrop of her fluttering red hair.

"She wants to ask you, are you interested in those orichalcums?"

"She wants me to take over the orichalcum?" Dane became even more curious. "But isn't Atlantis using it now?"

Mera shook her head and laid back down in his arms.

"She knew very well that orichalcum could only be used in emergencies. Now the surface world is beginning to restore order and rebuild civilization..." She paused slightly.

Dane knew what she was thinking. With the Justice League as their backing, even if the Earth now had less than one-tenth of its population, it could still build a pre-war industrial system at the fastest speed.

Because Dane's world actually has copies of all the science and technology in the current world, and even some black technologies that this world does not have.

These things ensure that the surface world can recover as quickly as possible. Even because of the agreement between Dane and Apocalypse, the surface civilization can be taken to a higher level.

At this time, Mera, the Queen of the Sea, who has a keen political sense, will never allow the sea people to fall behind, especially behind the surface people who have always been crushed by them with technology.

Mera, the Queen of the Sea in this world, has a conservative attitude towards humans because she has lost Arthur, the link between the seabed and the surface. If she were to communicate with the surface world, it would likely turn into a zero-sum game.

She would see the relationship between the two worlds more as competition than cooperation.

From this point of view, the job of "ambassador" really belongs to Arthur. Only he can truly treat the cultures of the two worlds equally. Maybe this world needs Arthur more than the original world.

But Mera, the Queen of the Sea, must be clear that Arthur is not the Aquaman of this world. He must be responsible for his own world and his own people, and it is impossible for him to stay in this world for a long time.

But if they could use Arthur as a bridge to contact Atlantis in another parallel world and get their help, the sea people would not fall behind in this competition.

Mera, the Queen of the Sea, is confident that she can convince Arthur, because this big fool is simple-minded and has deep sympathy for the Atlantis of this world, so it is not difficult to get his help.

But she was not very confident about Dane. She found out from what she saw with her own eyes and her communication with Mera that the Justice League in the parallel world basically obeyed his command on major issues. If Dane did not agree, Queen Mera would not be able to achieve her goal of connecting with another Atlantis.

So she had to find a way to convince Dane to agree to her plan.

The breakthrough point for Dane is undoubtedly Mera. Originally, Queen Mera wanted to rely on her face that was exactly the same as Mera's to talk to Dane face to face.

But what happened last night made her a little unsure how to face this man. Although it wasn't real, she felt all of Mera's feelings...

Mera, the Queen of the Sea, was afraid that she would not be able to face Dane calmly, so she had to ask Mera to negotiate with Dane on her behalf.

Although it seemed to lack sincerity, Dane did not care about such details.

He was thinking about the use of something like orichalcum.

In the setting, orichalcum is a magical metal. Yes, this thing is not entirely a technological creation. It is the product of the combination of technology and Atlantis magic.

This magical metal has strong magic resistance and is said to have a plasticity comparable to that of N-type metal, but it is unknown to what degree of purity N-type metal it is comparable to.

N metals of different purities have vastly different performances in various aspects, and Dane cannot judge the value of mountain copper from just a few words.

However, orichalcum has a characteristic. Like Poseidon Steel, the raw material used to make the Golden Trident, weapons made from it can harm the bodies of Kryptonians.

Poor Kryptonians, now they have become the touchstone for measuring the quality of materials.

Another property of mountain copper is that when it is heated to thousands of degrees Celsius, it emits a deadly radiation.

When this radiation is released into the atmosphere in large quantities, it will not only cause global warming, but also induce mutations in some organisms.

In "Aquaman 2: The Lost Kingdom", the radiation produced by orichalcum caused the creatures on an island to evolve abnormally, making many originally small creatures grow giant. The rats there became larger than wild boars, but were hunted by larger ants.

This means that the radiation produced by orichalcum is likely to cause benign mutations in the genes of organisms. In any case, in the movie, the giant creatures do not seem to have any other problems except that they become larger.

Dane felt that this thing might be worth studying to see how much it could promote the evolution of organisms.

Now that he holds the equation of life, it is time to delve deeper into the essence of life. The existence of orichalcum may help him study some issues related to the genes of organisms.

"What are her conditions?"

It is obvious that Queen Mera of the Sea would not give him the mountain copper unconditionally. Although these are hot potatoes handed down from ancient times, they are also of extremely high value.

Not to mention that Atlantis is still using the energy of orichalcum.

Mera replied: "She hopes you can help Atlantis build a space-time gate that can be stable and exist for a long time."

"This door leads to another world, Atlantis, right?"

Mera's intentions were clear to everyone, and she made no attempt to hide them.

But Dane was thinking, he actually has two choices now, one is to bring his world into this side.

The other is to bring Earth-3 from the antimatter universe here. He has not forgotten that the Seven Seas Kingdom ruled by the Sea King is still staying well at the bottom of the sea in that world.

Perhaps because they knew who killed the Sea Overlord, the underwater civilization has been silent, as if nothing had happened.

But Dane would not ignore these sea creatures. After a stable channel was established between his world and Earth-3, he also designated the antimatter Earth as his own property. He would not allow any force in this world to be out of his control.

But with his current power, it is already a bit difficult to just take over the surface of the antimatter world, and it is difficult to spare manpower to deal with the sea people ruled by the Sea Overlord.

But now he seems to have a new choice.

Although many things on the antimatter Earth are opposite to those in the positive world, there are also many things that are interconnected. Perhaps Queen Mera can bring her people to help Dane deal with the underwater kingdom of Earth-3?

"Ask her if she's willing to go to the antimatter world."

Although Mera did not follow Dane to fight the Syndicate, she heard Dane talk about what was happening there.

She looked up in surprise. "Antimatter world? But Atlantis right now might not have the strength to swallow it up!"

Dane just smiled at this doubt.

"As long as I say yes, they can. This is God's will."

Who made the underwater people so feudal and superstitious? The "oracle" can make them ignore all unfavorable factors.

Chapter 486 Devotion

Mera followed Dane's idea and brought his proposal to Mera, the Queen of the Sea.

According to Dane, the Undersea Kingdom of Earth-3 is currently just an illegal organization, not recognized by the United Nations and therefore not protected by UN law.

Because Dane killed the Sea King, it can be inferred that the underwater kingdom will not give up easily. The main reason why there is no movement at present is probably that they are not sure.

No one knows what this underwater civilization is secretly planning. Dane plans to let Queen Mera take Atlantis to test them.

At the same time, this is also a test for Mera, the Queen of the Sea. Although Atlantis has lost many precious things, it has also lost many invisible shackles, which makes Dane have more expectations for them.

Queen Mera obviously didn't know anything about the antimatter world, but she realized from this incident that Dane controlled more than one parallel world.

This gave her a greater sense of urgency, and she now felt even more strongly that Atlantis must not fall behind.

Although she had already decided to accept Dane's proposal, she still asked the necessary questions.

So she asked, "But with Atlantis's current capabilities, can it defeat the other side?"

When it comes to the survival and development of civilization, there are no noble moral standards. Mera, the Queen of the Sea, has hinted that Atlantis will become the plundering party.

Mera smiled when she heard this: "You can rest assured that my father will help you on this point."

The eyes of the Queen of the Sea Mera flashed, as if she had tasted something.

It seems that in Dane's world, Xebel and Dane are the closest among the Seven Kingdoms... doesn't seem strange?

She thought to herself that given the relationship between Mera and Dane, it was normal for Nereus to surrender to that man. Her father had always been decisive in taking sides on such issues.

"Okay, I don't have any more questions. Let me get ready. I will lead the Atlantean army into there."

Mera continued, "We will establish a stable space-time gate for you and provide you with the necessities."

The two Meras smiled at each other and shook hands tacitly, as if they had reached an agreement.

The two of them understood that this matter was rather "dirty" and not suitable for the Justice League to know. Dane would never admit that their actions were legal, but he would secretly ask Umbrella to provide assistance.

During this period, Dane traveled back and forth between Apokolips and Earth several times. Darkseid already knew that he had abducted Orion to Earth, and the two almost fought again because of this.

But in the end, both sides remained restrained. Although he lost Orion, Darkseid got a more useful tool in Skyfather.

Dane threatened him with the Anti-Life Equation, and if Darkseid continued to pester him, he would awaken Skyfather from the control of the Anti-Life Equation.

Both sides had their own concerns, which is why they ultimately chose to reconcile.

However, since then, Dane has become the most unpopular person on Apokolips. It is said that Darkseid is asking his scientific researchers to study a method of spatial shielding against Dane, so that he cannot enter Apokolips even if he holds the Mother Box.

But it will obviously take a long time for this technology to be completed. Until then, Apocalypse can only endure his harassment.

It is worth mentioning that after careful consideration, Orion finally decided to stay on Earth to work, just as Dane had proposed. He became the only diplomatic ambassador of Apocalypse on Earth.

Dane also negotiated with Darkseid about this matter, and he finally chose to acquiesce.

Dane did not tell Orion that Skyfather was controlled by Darkseid. He was worried that this guy would do something stupid and challenge Darkseid beyond his ability.

After repeated tug-of-war with Darkseid, the relationship between Earth-Doomsday and Apokolips finally began to normalize. They only needed to wait for Darkseid to deal with the problems on Apokolips before they could fulfill the promise Darkseid made.

Seeing that things were on track, Dane returned to his own world.

With the help of the Flash, Dane created a gate that can directly connect the two worlds. Just in case, this gate was built inside the Justice League's base so that they can monitor it at any time.

"What are you going to name this door?"

The one who provides help this time is the Flash of the doomsday world. His world has been reborn, and he himself seems to have regained his lively personality. He is looking at the door that can absorb the speed force with great interest.

Dane thought for a moment and said, "Why not call it the Tannhauser Gate?"

"Tannhauser? Why is it called this name? Does it have any meaning?" There seems to be no movie "Blade Runner" in this world, and the origin of the Flash is unknown.

Dane just smiled at this: "It's just a name, it doesn't mean anything."

"Welcome back, Mr. Dane."

In the Kandak Hall of Justice, Grid's data face appeared in mid-air, and the sound of its sudden appearance scared the Flash.

"Oh my God, why are you not making any noise?"

"I am an artificial intelligence. I have no hands or feet. Data has no voice. Mr. Flash from another world."

The grid seemed to have gained a higher level of intelligence, and it now communicated just like a normal human being.

Dane said, "Grid, are you able to connect your clone here?"

The grid's data flickered for a moment, and after a few seconds, it responded, "Yes, I can, sir."

Dane nodded with satisfaction. When the Tannhauser Gate was open, the electromagnetic waves between the two worlds were also connected, allowing the grid to share the network signals of the two worlds.

From this moment on, the consciousness of the grid will span the two universes and hold the digital worlds of the two earths in its hands.

Of course, the same goes for Cortana.

However, Cortana has now completely become Dane's personal butler, and her functions in the Justice League have been transferred to Grid and Cyborg.

As for her real body, she spends most of her time in the dream world, helping Dane deal with matters in the dream.
