Atlantis has a conservative style, almost never communicating with the outside world, and resisting new things that arise.
Especially something from the land world!
Fat house happy water, popcorn movies...all are contraband!
They thought it would corrupt people's minds and have no value at all.
This is one of the reasons why the systems and traditions they admire seem quite backward.
The set of rules that have been passed down for thousands of years will eventually become outdated if they are still used today.
No matter how powerful a civilization is, if it isolates itself for a long time, it will decline sooner or later.
Wakanda is the most obvious example.
As one of the most technologically advanced countries on earth, they choose their leaders neither through public voting nor through parliamentary judgment, but through simple and rough competition and challenges.
Could it be said that a Wakandan who is a good fighter will be a qualified king
There is absolutely no connection between personal force and one's own abilities.
It can be seen from this that the long-term isolation has caused these Wakandans, who are sitting on the vibranium veins and do not worry about developing resources at all, to still have a tribal understanding of the world.
Namor, who grew up in a slum and then went to live in the land world, hated the rules and regulations of Atlantis.
In his view, a country that judges high and low based on clothing and blood is essentially no different from the slave dynasties in the history books.
Backward, barbaric, and ignorant of progress!
When Namor became king, he always wanted to lead his people to open up the future, abolish ancient traditions, and make Atlantis great again!
Unfortunately, the nobles of the Presbyterian Church always interfered and hindered his progress.
"I will pass this test from the God of the Ocean to prove my bravery! By then, no one will oppose my opinion!"
Namor raised his trident high, and dazzling electric light surrounded his body, as if he was wearing mighty armor, and his low aura rose again.
The rumbling thunder rolled through the dark clouds, making a deafening roar.
"I will once again prove to the people of Atlantis the power of the king!"
Namor seemed to be able to hear the warm cheers coming from Poseidonia, the capital of Atlantis.
That is a cry dedicated to the warriors!
The blue-skinned Atlanteans respect the strong and believe that only brave warriors can conquer the ocean and receive the favor of the gods.
This is part of the reason why Namor was able to defy all odds and ascend to the throne.
Otherwise, just because his bloodline is not pure enough and his skin color is obviously different from his clansmen, he will be completely disqualified from competing for the kingship.
This is just like the black people in Wakanda who will never choose a white man to be their king unless he has royal blood flowing in his body.
From a genetic perspective, this chance is extremely slim.
"He can fly and is stronger than me - if we want to win the final victory, we can only summon more powerful helpers!"
Accepting defeat, Namor took out another artifact that belonged to the king.
Proteus Horn!
This heavy horn wrapped in pure white and decorated with gold can summon ancient creatures from the depths of the ocean.
Woohoo! Woohoo!
The loud and desolate horn sound resounded throughout the sea.
Invisible fluctuations spread, releasing some kind of special signal, which immediately awakened the huge sea monster sleeping in the deep sea.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
In the Atlantic Ocean, huge tentacles dozens of meters long set off huge waves.
"It's Kraken!"
Deep in the palace of Poseidonia, the capital of Atlantis, nobles in robes were watching the battle.
"It seems that Namor has been cornered by the land man, and he did not hesitate to use the Proteus Horn to wake up the sleeping Kraken!"
"Every time Kraken wakes up, he needs a lot of food. It seems we have to prepare for another sacrifice day!"
"Humph, not even a land man can defeat him - this is the great king of Atlantis, our proud majesty!"
“…”
The nobles in robes discussed and continued to stare at the battlefield through a water-film mirror.
Kraken, also known as the "kraken", is said to be a giant sea monster in Greenland.
It usually lurks at the bottom of the deep sea, but occasionally surfaces to attack passing ships and prey on large marine animals such as whales.
In ancient times, many sailors used Kraken's body as an "island" to live on, setting up camp and resting on it.
Until the sea monster dives, it is buried in the sea and becomes food.
It is one of the guardians of Atlantis, and like the giant whale Gurgado, obeys the call of the horn of Proteus.
"I didn't expect that there are such strong people among the land people."
A robed noble looked at Superman who had put Namor at a disadvantage and couldn't help but hum.
The existence of Atlantis even surpasses the Sumerian civilization, the oldest civilization in the human world.
Therefore, they naturally do not look down upon the so-called mainlanders.
"Whether Namor can win the final victory is the key! If he fails, then - as a half-blood! What qualifications does he have to sit on the throne?"
Another robed nobleman laughed mockingly.
"Just the thought that I have to kowtow to a bastard and call him your majesty makes me feel ashamed!"
Everyone in the Presbyterian Church looked at each other in shock, but did not scold these rebellious and arrogant words.
"Namor is too impulsive and not stable enough. He is not fit to be a king."
The most virtuous and respectable noble in robes made the final decision and said: "If he loses to a land man, it will prove that the god of the sea has abandoned him, and a king who has lost his favor is not worthy of allegiance."
…
…
"If you can't win, why don't you call for help?"
Luke chuckled, his eyes emitting extremely hot high-temperature energy.
The Kraken is almost more than 150 meters long, like an enlarged version of the giant squid.
A dozen powerful tentacles are enough to entangle the aircraft carriers parked in the distance and overturn them.
Taking into account the safety of Captain Bullock and the others, Luke used his heat vision to cut off a huge tentacle that was slapping over without saying a word.
Tear!
The red light cuts across!
The huge tentacles of the North Sea Kraken were cut off at the waist.
Kraken, who was in pain, let out a harsh whine that shook his eardrums.
The remaining tentacles are like mountain peaks, carrying terrifying power, blasting the air, and sweeping forward!
Luke released the biological force field, forming a solid barrier to block the powerful and vicious blow!
Bang!
He flew backwards like a baseball hit with full force.
Under the gloomy sky, the dark red cloak pulled out a blurry afterimage.
A bolt of silver lightning tore open the sky. Luke, who stabilized his body, took a deep breath and dived down like a fighter jet.
boom! boom! boom!
The air made a dull explosion, and under the sudden acceleration, the dark red afterimage broke through the sound barrier, dragging out a beautiful arc.
A punch hit the huge and soft head of the North Sea Monster, driving the sea monster underwater.
Immediately afterwards, strong arms bursting with power wrapped around a tentacle and pulled hard!
"Charcoal grilled, sashimi, salt baked... it doesn't matter if it's charcoal grilled!"
Luke lowered his head and released his heat vision while talking about how to make delicious food.
The high-temperature rays that evaporate flesh and blood are like dazzling red swords, suddenly penetrating down!
Tsk tsk tsk!
The turbulent waves hitting the sea surface were instantly evaporated, and large clouds of white gas emerged.
The dozens of huge tentacles that were struggling crazily seemed to have been drained of their strength and slid down softly.
"Do you have any other tricks?"
Released the tentacle held by his arms, Luke glanced at the huge corpse floating on the sea with a slight indifference.
Then, he looked at Namor who was stunned.
It has to be said that the opponent's strength is good enough to rank among the top powerhouses on earth.
Especially when you have the advantage of playing at home and the bonus of artifacts.
But it's a pity that he met Superman. (End of chapter)
