The expression of Doug the Clownfish changed a little. He took a closer look at Black Manta and found that the other party was indeed not wearing power armor. However, how much force could a mortal exert in deep water without armor? Could it be that there was a different person inside?
Thinking of some recent rumors circulating in the magic world, Doug's heart suddenly tightened. He suspected that the other party might have also obtained the qualifications to become a god and was already climbing the path to godhood. He was a little afraid at the moment.
"Okay, okay, since we've known each other for so many years...what do you want to know?" Doug originally thought that he would ask about information related to "becoming a god", but unexpectedly, the other party asked about information about the mortal world.
He couldn't help but feel a little confused, but after hesitating for a while, Doug decided to answer every question. He would answer whatever the other party asked.
Arthur asked several questions in succession, but he was still unable to dig out the information he wanted. He was a qualified warrior and leader, but not a qualified intelligence collector, and he did not grasp the key point.
Doug was confused by his endless questions and didn't know what he wanted to know. So he couldn't help but ask, "David, what do you want to know?"
After asking for a long time without getting the information he wanted, Arthur became a little annoyed: "Shut up, Doug, you just need to answer truthfully, you don't need to know anything else!"
Doug didn't care about his tone. The guys in the Sunken Fortress were a bunch of desperate criminals. Don't expect them to be polite. He was used to customers speaking rudely to him.
He then said calmly, "David, you're not going to get the intelligence you're asking about. None of the questions you're asking are connected. Why don't you just tell me what you really want to ask? Don't look at me... I've been in this business for over a decade, and I know exactly what my customers are thinking."
Arthur frowned under his helmet, a little hesitant. He was worried that the other party would leak the information, which was almost certain for an intelligence dealer.
But he changed his mind and realized that with Doug's strength, he could easily crush him to death. Although it was a bit against the rules, the one who broke the rules was Black Manta. What did it have to do with him, Arthur Curry?
After figuring this out, he relaxed and told Doug the information he really wanted to know.
Unexpectedly, Doug looked at him with a strange expression on his face, which was strange even for a fish face.
"I thought you already knew about this, but I didn't expect you didn't know it. You are such a lucky guy." Doug shook his head and handed him a piece of toilet paper with a string of addresses written on it.
I don’t know what material this paper is made of. It feels like parchment, but it is completely unaffected by water pressure and water flow.
Arthur was a little confused. The address above came from the surface world, and there was a signature in the lower right corner: [Madam Xanadu].
"Only the prophets of the magical world can tell you what you want to know. Only great figures like them can calculate news about the gods. I can only sell normal intelligence."
Then he looked up at Arthur meaningfully and said, "You may not know the origin of this power in you. It is the power of God, but in order to become a true God, you still lack something."
Arthur was confused by what he said and could only continue to ask.
Doug Fish had a cunning expression on his face and rubbed his two fingers together, his meaning obvious: "David, you've asked a lot of questions. The following information is very valuable. It comes from the magical world!"
Although this news is already known to everyone in the circle, for some reason, Black Manta has not yet grasped it. So don't blame him for blackmailing him. There is no business without dishonesty.
This greedy expression made Arthur want to kill him with an ion ray, but for the sake of information and Poseidon's promise, he endured it and threw a bag of gold coins over.
The underwater civilization still trades with precious metal currencies, mainly gold, especially the gold coins produced in Atlantis, which are of the highest quality.
Doug accepted it greedily, and then told him the information about the magical world.
"The road to becoming a god..." Arthur muttered to himself. This was really shocking news.
But after the shock, his mind couldn't help but become active. Since mortals have the opportunity to become gods, then wouldn't demigods have an even better chance?
Demigod does not just refer to a half-god, half-human hybrid. In fact, anyone who possesses the blood of a god, no matter how thin it is, is a descendant of a god. If the descendant can unleash the abilities of a god and gain power far greater than that of a mortal, then they can be called a demigod.
He quickly continued to ask questions, and for the sake of the gold coins, Doug was willing to say more.
"Of course we can capture demigods. In fact, for those organizations and forces that don't have the help of prophets, the success rate of capturing demigods is much easier than looking for pure humans." Doug grinned and quietly took two steps back.
"David, do you know what the consequences will be if your divine potential is exposed?"
Arthur's attention returned to him, having sensed something was amiss upon hearing this.
"They'll do whatever it takes to catch you!" Doug laughed sharply, flipped back, and disappeared.
Just as Arthur was about to emit the red ion beam from his eyes, something suddenly wrapped around his neck and pulled his entire head down. Under the huge force, Arthur's helmet hit the ground directly.
At this time, red rays burst out, and a deep pit was instantly burned out on the seabed, but the enemy came from above!
Arthur, with his back to the enemy, could feel the enemy approaching, but his neck was strangled by an iron chain and he could not move for the time being.
He could only feel a sudden heavy blow to the back of his head. Fortunately, his helmet took most of the damage, so he was temporarily unharmed, but his head was buzzing due to the vibration.
The next second, the ion light in his eyes went out. It turned out that the enemy had destroyed the components inside his helmet, preventing him from using his radiation skill level.
"catch him!"
Doug's scream reached Arthur's ears. He felt a sharp sense of threat on his back. Suddenly, his mind became clear. He used both hands to tear the iron chain that was bound around his neck. He wrapped the remaining chain around his arms as boxing gloves, turned around and blocked a double-pronged spear.
Looking up, he saw a fishman staring at the head of the tentacle shark. He was over two meters tall, with muscular build and sharp teeth.
These are soldiers under the command of King Fish, the ruler of the Sunken Fortress. It is said that they have the rare blood of the Shark God in their bodies and are of the same species as the Shark King Nanavi.
It turned out that Doug had already informed Wang Yu and was just stalling for time while waiting for them to send someone.
Arthur, enraged, smashed the murloc's weapon and delivered a powerful punch. The shark's head exploded, turning into a mess in the water.
Chapter 567: The Ruler of the Sunken Fortress
"Hurry! Stop him!" screamed the clown fishman Doug.
Several sharkmen around smelled the blood and immediately pounced on Arthur.
These humanoid creatures, as strong as bulls, have incredible strength in the water. Coupled with their average body height of over two meters, they pose a tremendous pressure to any enemy.
Compared with the Trench People, although the Shark People are not smart, they are not completely uncommunicative. Moreover, their individual strength is stronger than that of the Trench People. They are also bloodthirsty and aggressive, but they are more obedient and are very suitable as a source of soldiers.
It is said that wild shark people will feed on the mermaids of the Fisherman Kingdom and are the only border threat to this peace-loving kingdom.
Their diet is quite varied, and humans are occasionally included in their diet.
Real sharks do not prey on humans. Many of the tragedies reported in the news that are claimed to be caused by sharks are actually the work of these shark people.
Therefore, everyone in the Sunken Fortress is afraid of these ferocious and omnivorous monsters. They will eat the people they kill as rations, and there have even been cases of eating them alive.
But Arthur Curry was not among them. He was angry that he was almost tricked, and driven by anger, he burst out with even more amazing strength.
Shark Man is strong, he is stronger than his opponent, Shark Man is fast, he is faster than his opponent!
Those sharkmen who approached him were torn into pieces by Arthur's bare hands as easily as clay sculptures. The sharkmen's hard bones could not withstand the huge force of his hands.
Their teeth were completely unable to break through Arthur's body defense and could only bite through the black diving suit.
Doug realized that he had made a mistake. Even if Black Manta lost the abilities given to him by the helmet, he was still powerful enough.
"Sure enough, he must have the power of a demigod!" In addition to fear, a sense of greed also grew in Doug's heart.
Regardless of whether the person under the helmet is David Kane, with such strength, the possibility that he has the qualifications is very high.
Although the magic world has not stated it explicitly, since they are actively looking for people with the qualifications to become gods, does this mean that they have a way to transfer or utilize this qualification to allow those who originally do not have the qualifications to have the opportunity to embark on the path to becoming gods?
Doug was very clear-headed. Although he also coveted the power of God, a person like him who had neither noble blood nor a strong enough background would never be able to get his hands on the power of God.
However, there is still a sufficient success rate in gaining benefits from this matter.
However, the biggest obstacle before his ambition is realized is Arthur's strength.
Doug had underestimated the opponent's strength before. The ten shark people he secretly recruited by sending messages were killed by Arthur in less than ten minutes, and the deep red blood polluted the surrounding sea.
It wasn't until the last shark man was killed with a wail that the greedy Doug suddenly realized that he had called for reinforcements, but it would take time for the king fish to send soldiers.
But he didn't expect that the shark people, who were the backbone of the force guarding the sunken fortress, couldn't even hold on for ten minutes.
Doug wanted to run away immediately. As an intelligence dealer, it was common for him to be hunted down. After all, he sold all his private information. Therefore, there were many secret passages in his shop. He had relied on the secret passages to temporarily escape from Arthur's sight before.
"Want to run?" Arthur smiled viciously, his body like a swordfish, so fast that he stirred up the blood-red sea water into turbidity.
As Doug the clownfish man's upper body had just entered the hole, he felt his lower body tighten and was pulled out by a pair of large hands.
"Wait! Don't kill me! I still have a lot of information..."
However, Arthur didn't listen to him at all. He thought that the intelligence dealers were all liars. He grabbed one of Doug's ankles with one hand and pulled it hard to the left and right, instantly tearing Doug into two halves.
In an instant, the colorful internal organs and tissues were scattered with the water flow, but they were still connected.
At this time, he looked back and found that more shark people were coming over after smelling the blood.
Like ordinary sharks, these shark people have a very keen sense of smell for blood. Arthur roughly counted them and found that there were no less than twenty of them.
These shark people are nothing to him. Even if their number increases tenfold, he can still kill them easily.
But now that the Trident of Poseidon is not in his hand, his killing efficiency has been greatly reduced. Fighting with bare hands is naturally not as efficient as fighting with weapons.
So Arthur decided not to get entangled with these shark people. He did not take these twenty shark people seriously, but the king fish they represented was the ruler here. If a large army was mobilized to encircle him, he would be captured due to fatigue, which would not be worth the loss.
So, as the Shark Man got closer, Arthur seized the opportunity and hurled both halves of Doug's body out.
The shark people still retain some habits of sharks. When the strong smell of blood rushes into their noses, their eyes are suddenly completely occupied by black pupils, and their attention is completely attracted by the two halves of flesh and blood.
The shark people's already limited rationality suddenly disappeared completely. They abandoned Arthur and chased in the direction of the flesh and blood. Not long after, a group of shark people surrounded the two halves of flesh and blood and made gnawing sounds, which was creepy.
Arthur took this opportunity to retreat immediately, intending to go out in the direction he came from. However, before he could get close to the pipe, a rapid alarm sounded over the sunken fortress, and the neon lights in the sky all turned red.
A huge voice appeared around, and every speaker was playing a person's voice.
"My people, a villain has infiltrated my kingdom. Now, the entire city is under martial law!"
This was the voice of the kingfish. Arthur frowned secretly. He had met the fat, blue-skinned, disgusting fishman several times and even almost killed him, so he remembered his voice.
He looked up and saw that the only entrance gate to the sunken fortress began to slowly close, and he immediately felt something was wrong.
You have to know that the secret entrance he found is actually connected in series with the gate. If the gate is closed, all pipes connecting to the outside world will also be closed synchronously, ensuring that no one can escape from the fortress.
At this time, the sunken fortress is a huge prison. It can last for several months relying on the food and fuel stored inside. This is also the confidence that Wangyu dares to fight against the Seven Seas Kingdom.
The kingdom's army will definitely need logistical supplies when they go on an expedition here, and it is impossible for them to spend months here. Therefore, if the sunken fortress is completely closed, it will be like a big turtle that cannot be defeated or towed away, and it is not worth the higher cost.
Arthur didn't need to go to the pipeline anymore. He knew that it must have been closed by now. From the information he got from Doug, it seemed that Wangyu had a great desire for people like him and would not let him go easily.
So, should I spend several months avoiding him until he can no longer bear it and opens the door, then sneak out?
Arthur immediately dismissed the idea.
He didn't have that much time to waste, and the opponent was the Kingfish, the fat blue guy that Arthur always looked down upon. How could the proud King of Atlantis bow to the pirate leader?
So Arthur chose the most direct way to break the deadlock. He took the initiative to attract the attention of the shark people, and let them shackle him and send him to the king fish.
"That was a huge surprise, look who I saw? David Kane."
On a throne made of a giant clam shell, a huge fat blue fish lay there, holding a cup shaped like a fish tank in its hand.
He is the ruler of the Sunken Fortress, King Fish.
Chapter 568 Wang Yu's Greed
The kingfish looks like a blue pufferfish, and its limbs have completely degenerated into fins, like the limbs of a seal.
There are two fan-like fins on the left and right sides of the face, which almost occupy one-third of the face. It has a long tail behind it, which also has a dorsal fin on it. Its whole body is covered with dense scales.
The opening and closing of the fish scales will definitely make people with trypophobia tremble all over.
The other party has a big mouth full of sharp teeth, a thick neck, and is bloated below the head, like a sea lion waiting to give birth. This body structure shows at a glance that it is definitely an active type.
It is hard to imagine that such a fishman who has difficulty in moving can become the ruler of the sunken fortress. There are no good men and women in this ghost place. Without sufficient power, it is impossible to subdue those unruly villains.
"David Kane, I'm curious why you, who made a name for yourself in Atlantis, would become a criminal again. Is there something I don't know?"
The king fish lay comfortably on the throne, which he had specifically requested to be widened, not only so that he could lie on it, but also so that the female fishmen who served him could sit on it. Right now, there were three female fishmen whose lower bodies were octopus tentacles serving him.
Even the King of the Seven Seas didn't indulge in such extravagance.
Arthur had no intention of revealing his identity, so he didn't take off his helmet. Instead, he stared at Wang Yu's fish eyes with his big red eyes and said, "Wang Yu, we are old friends. Let's discuss it. You open the door, I leave, and we will pretend that what happened today never happened."
The king fish threw away the fishbowl and wine glass in his hand, pushed away the female fishman on his body, and tried to stand up and stand on the throne, just like a child trying to learn to walk.
But the fishmen around him didn't dare to speak, because they knew that the king fish was angry.
"David, David, I don't know what I did to deserve your disrespect. I have no other requests from you except that you answer my questions. But not only did you not answer my questions, you also betrayed my kindness."
Arthur noticed that the shark people behind him were gradually approaching him, and the fishy smell emanating from them made him frown.
He suppressed his murderous intent and tried to speak to Wang Yu calmly. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to make the scene too big, as that would greatly increase the risk of him being exposed in Om's eyes.
So he continued, "Kingfish, this is your last chance. Open the gate and let me go, before I decide to kill you."
After hearing this, Wang Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party. He had received news before that Black Manta was suspected to have obtained the qualifications to become a god, and had already embarked on the path to becoming a god. He had even obtained some divine power and became a demigod.
To be honest, Wang Yu doesn't know much about the specific process of becoming a god, but this does not prevent him from coveting the power of God.
As the pirate leader who ruled the lawless zone, he boasted that his power was no less than that of the kings of the major kingdoms. Considering that the kings could not do whatever they liked, he even felt that his power was greater than that of the so-called kings.
After his power has reached the peak that he can currently reach, Wang Yu's only remaining wish is to find a way to make himself even greater.
Wang Yu is very ambitious. He believes that this kind of greatness must be comparable to that of the first King of Atlantis.
To be honest, although he had an army and wealth that rivaled that of a country, and a den of gold like the Sunken Fortress that was completely under his control, he tried his best to belittle the kings of the major kingdoms, thinking that they were slaves of the kingdom, bound by honor and rules for their entire lives and never having freedom, but he still envied those kings and their royal blood.
