Chapter 377 Great! It's the Trident of Poseidon. We are saved.
As the king of the Kingdom of Zebel, Nereus was able to put the overall situation first and let his daughter marry Orm.
But this does not mean that he was a cold-blooded king.
In fact, Nereus loved his daughter very much, and the reason why he agreed to the marriage with Atlantis was because Orm was handsome, had a high status, and was extremely ambitious.
He thought it was a good thing to be ambitious, and Orm's idea of attacking the land coincided with his.
Due to various factors, he agreed to the marriage.
But now, a big ugly fish that looked like a disaster in the deep sea had kidnapped his daughter, which made him unbearable. Just looking at the big steel teeth holding Meila's tender little hand, Nereus felt as sick as if he had eaten a barnacle.
This is no longer just the level of a yellow-haired will-o'-the-wisp.
But worse!
It's probably the equivalent of a traditional Chinese parent watching their daughter bring a chimpanzee home, and boasting with a loving face about how powerful the black brother is.
Nereus almost had a cardiac arrest and wished he could chop that dead fish Bant to death on the spot.
What’s even more hateful is that the dead fish rushed into the Dark Sea with its daughter. This is a place of exile where there is a 100% chance of death. Meila is probably in great danger.
With no place to vent his anger, Nereus turned his attention to the Fisherman Kingdom.
"The Fisherman Nation must give both of us an explanation on this matter!"
He spoke angrily, his red hair standing on end.
Hearing this, Om raised the corners of his mouth slightly and revealed a satisfied smile.
He actually had no feelings for Mera. She was just a beautiful woman. If she died, she died. The important thing was that his goal had been achieved. Now Nereus could be said to be completely on his side. As long as both sides put pressure on him, he was not afraid that the King of the Fisherman Kingdom would not obey.
When the time comes, the armies of the three kingdoms will arrive, first conquer the Salt Water Kingdom, and then raise troops to flood the land!
Om imagines the future.
At this time, Vico, who was worried about something, suddenly made a strange humming sound.
"what is that?"
Vicona looked towards the dark sea in the distance with his presbyopic eyes. The water density there was very high, the current was black, and the visibility was very low, just like the thick fog in the mountains.
He looked from a distance, and it seemed as if there was a ghost wandering around, but he couldn't see clearly.
"Perhaps they are the Trench Clan. They smelled the scent of a living person and gathered here?"
Om said.
"Those beasts!" Nereus cursed with gritted teeth. When he thought that his daughter might have been buried in the stomachs of those monsters, he became very angry. He wished he could rush in immediately and kill all those monsters.
But he knew this was impossible.
The military forces of the Kingdom of Zebel cannot exert their full strength in the Dark Sea, and no one knows what the current situation of the Dark Sea is. Any rash action may very likely open Pandora's box and release all the monsters from the abyss.
By then, I'm afraid all of Qihai will suffer.
"The number seems to be increasing." Vico frowned slightly, "and seems to be approaching."
"Don't talk nonsense, Vicco, you know these monsters can't leave the Dark Sea." As soon as Om finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. Those black shadows were getting closer and closer, and they were rising and falling with the sea like black waves.
The sea water was mixed with fishy and burnt smells.
"Corpse?"
Thousands of Trench Tribe corpses floated past them, leaving everyone dumbfounded and unable to move.
If it were a living army of the Trench Tribe, they might have already taken up arms and started fighting back, but what were drifting over now were the corpses of the Trench Tribe, which was too weird.
"Who has the ability to kill so many Trench Tribe members?"
"Could it be that the Sea God has resurrected?"
Vicco rushed forward and grabbed a floating corpse. The facial features of the corpse were blurred and the body was charred as if it had been burned by fire. Looking around, almost all the corpses were like this.
"There is no such thing as a sea god." Om didn't want any unexpected changes to his plan, so he rejected it immediately.
"The most urgent thing is to head to the Fisherman's Kingdom immediately!" He swung the reins in his hand, ready to take action immediately, but Nereus on the side stood there motionless as if he was under a spell.
"Wait! King Orm, why is he in such a hurry to act? Why don't you stay and see what happened in the Dark Sea together? If there is any danger, we can be prepared in advance."
Nereus looked into the depths of the dark sea and began to think secretly.
"Maybe Meila is still alive..."
Something unexpected happened in the Dark Sea, and before that, the only uncertain factor was that Meira and the fisherman tribe entered the Dark Sea together.
He knew his daughter's strength well. She could handle more than a dozen people from the Trench Tribe, but she could never defeat this number.
The only possibility is the fisherman tribe.
Judging from the images shown to him by Om, the other party was indeed very powerful and could eliminate a large number of guards in a short period of time and seize the Mother Box.
Just as he was thinking about it, a faint yellow light emerged from the depths of the dark undercurrent, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"It's really him!"
Vico shouted in surprise, obviously recognizing the light device on Bant's head, but soon became confused again: "Why are there three people? They seem a little familiar."
Nereus also showed a surprised expression.
I never thought that a fisherman tribe could have such powerful strength.
No, buddy, if you had this ability, you should have said so earlier!
If I had known you were so awesome, I would have betrothed Meila to you long ago!
what?
Are you ugly?
Nonsense!
Is this ugly? This is clearly unique!
That flat head looks like it can withstand a beating, and the densely packed fangs look very majestic!
He suddenly felt that Da Gangya liked him again, and planned to go back and cancel the engagement with Om, and then recruit Da Gangya as his son-in-law.
By then, with this great general in hand, it would be like having the Fisherman Kingdom as an ally. Then, if he could counterattack the Kingdom of Atlantis, wouldn't he become the boss of the sea?
Isn’t the orthodox Atlantis also in the Kingdom of Zebel?
"That criminal is still alive!"
"Everyone listen up, follow me and bring the criminals of the Fisherman Country to justice!"
Veins bulged on Om's forehead, and he waved the trident in his hand and led the army to charge out.
But before he could move, another trident appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
"King Nereus, what are you doing?"
"King Orm, I think this matter may be different from what we thought. Mera does not look like she was kidnapped." Nereus said with a wandering look and a red face.
"is it?"
Om snorted coldly, glanced at him, and continued: "So, Princess Meira volunteered to take the Mother Box with this sinner?"
Nereus's face froze and he was speechless.
The Mother Box is a treasure guarded by the seven kingdoms of Atlantis. To be honest, this crime is much more serious than cuckolding Orm.
He sighed and said nothing more, but followed Om and led the army towards the glowing light.
As soon as they set foot in the Dark Sea, everyone immediately felt that the water pressure had increased a lot. The sea water became extremely viscous, as if the whole person was deeply trapped in a thick fluid, and their movements became much slower.
"Criminals of the Fisherman's Country, surrender immediately!"
That being said, Orm IV did not give Bant any time to surrender. He stepped on the blue dragon and leaned forward to stab at the faint light in the darkness. The sharp trident cut through the dark water curtain and went straight for Bant's head. Clang!
Sparks exploded in the sea water.
Om only felt that his blow had hit a piece of hard stone, and the shock made his palm numb.
Looking down again, he saw that his trident was pressed against the rugged shoulder armor on the left side of Big Steel Teeth, unable to move forward an inch. At this moment, the ugly monster opened its mouth, revealing a hideous and terrifying smile.
"you……"
Om was startled by his appearance and shrank back subconsciously.
Bant sneered.
"You don't even have the strength to beat someone up, and you still want to be the king?"
He saw Om coming towards him with a trident from a distance, but he didn't even have time to dodge.
Due to the fusion of the genes of the saltwater tribe, some parts of his body have grown hardened shells, which makes him look like he is wearing half a light armor. Even in the parts without shells, the defense of the body scales has been significantly improved.
Om's attack power is really not enough to break through the defense.
He grabbed Ohm's trident with his backhand, and before the other party could react, he spun him around in the water and then smashed him out heavily.
Om rushed over and was killed instantly.
Nereus is now more and more satisfied with Bant. With such powerful strength, he is simply the reincarnation of the sea god.
You know, although Orm looks a little thin, he is actually the most outstanding and powerful warrior in Atlantis. If they really fight, looking across the entire seven seas, Nereus would not dare to say that anyone can defeat Orm in a one-on-one fight.
But even such a person as Om actually fell into a disadvantage in the confrontation.
It’s a pity that he stole the mother box, otherwise he would be a really good son-in-law.
"Meira, come here quickly and leave the criminal who stole the Mother Box!"
Feeling sorry for Bant, Nereus immediately shouted at Mela.
"Don't worry, father. He has the Trident of Poseidon."
"What, the Trident of Poseidon?" Nereus' eyes suddenly lit up, and then he noticed that Bant was holding a trident emitting golden ripples in his left hand.
Great, it’s the Trident of Poseidon, we are saved!
Nereus didn't hesitate at all. The moment he saw Poseidon's trident, he immediately pulled the reins of the seahorse, turned around quickly, and thrust a harpoon at Om.
Om never dreamed that his ally would turn against him at the critical moment. He failed to react in such a hurry and had a strand of hair cut off, barely dodging the attack.
"Nereus, what are you doing?!"
He was so angry that he didn't even use the honorific.
"Om, you are overstepping your authority. Don't forget, anyone who can at least pick up this hammer, no, anyone who is recognized by the trident of Poseidon, is the common king of our seven countries!" Nereus had a solemn and heavy face, as if Orm was a traitor who accidentally took the wrong path.
But in fact, he was already very happy.
Meila, my dear daughter, you did a great job!
Without saying a word, he actually found himself a son-in-law who is the God of the Sea. He was so happy that he was flying.
Now, the status of the Kingdom of Zebel can be said to have instantly surpassed that of Atlantis.
This is not just yellow hair, this is simply a golden thigh!
"Bullshit! What Poseidon? He's just a criminal who stole the Mother Box!"
"What criminal? As the god of the sea, everything in the seven seas belongs to him. What's wrong with taking a broken box from his own home?" Nereus didn't care. "But you, Orm, if I remember correctly, you are not the real king of Atlantis. You are not the only legitimate heir of Atlantis."
"Don't mention that bastard in front of me!" Om's defense was immediately broken.
He was furious, and his eyes towards Bant were full of hatred.
"I will kill this traitor first, and then get rid of that bastard!"
After saying that, Om attacked Bant again, but this time Bant planned to fight back.
It is not good for a child to act like a naughty child. He probably deserves a beating.
He will behave himself after a good beating.
The black fish tail behind him swung, and the scales on his waist opened and closed, releasing huge water pressure backwards to push him forward.
In an instant, the sea water seemed to explode, and a gray figure rushed out like a torpedo, leaving a white scratch in the deep sea.
Bant shook his wrist, and the golden trident turned several times in his hand.
Om was completely unable to react.
He only felt a flash before his eyes, and then Bant's figure disappeared from his sight. The next moment, a vague shadow approached closely, and the powerful momentum and water pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.
The next moment, a golden light flashed, stinging Om's eyes.
He quickly raised his trident to resist, but the trident, which had been indestructible in the past, was like a fragile branch at this moment, and was instantly cut off by the weapon in Bant's hand.
The golden trident of Poseidon stopped in front of Orm. It only needed to move forward one centimeter to pierce his brain and take his life.
This time Om was really convinced.
His self-esteem was like a weapon in his hand, completely shattered in front of Bant.
Their weapons are inferior to others and their strength is far behind.
Total defeat.
He took a deep look at Bant who was so close to him, and a strong sense of defeat arose in his heart.
"I... give up." He closed his eyes, as if he had accepted his fate.
"just kill me."
"Why should I kill you?" Bant retracted the trident.
He had no intention of killing Orm, as it would not be of any benefit to him. Now that the Trident of Poseidon belonged to him, it could be said that the Seven Seas were his kingdom and territory.
Kill Om and find a talented tool man to manage it?
By Arthur?
Forget it, that idiot is just a seafood version of Thor, his brain has been marinated with beer.
If he becomes king, Atlantis will be destroyed sooner or later.
Bant stretched out his hand, placed it on Om's shoulder, and said solemnly:
"Oh, the organization needs you!"
Om: ???
No, man, what else would you do if you don't kill me?!
Om didn't understand what Bant was trying to do.
"Don't understand? It doesn't matter, you will understand after reading this." Bant moved aside half a body, revealing Atlanna, who had not spoken since a while ago.
"Mother?!"
"My mother is still alive? Did he not kill me because of my mother? Between him and my mother..."
Om's eyes widened, his gaze shifting back and forth between Bant and Atlanna.
Now he understood.
Bant: You know nothing!
