save the bachelors

Chapter 5183-5186 [The Birth of the Sea King]

Xiang Nan saved Eleanor and her son Victor because Victor Stone is the superhero "Cyborg".

He lost his mother in the car accident, and he himself was also seriously injured, with most of his body smashed.

To save his life, Victor Stone's father, Silas Stone, activated the Mother Box, using its ability to reassemble particles to turn Victor into a cyborg.

The superhero Cyborg was born from this.

But now, all three Mother Boxes have been taken away by Xiang Nan ahead of time. Silas has not been involved in the research of the Mother Boxes either, so if something happens to Victor, then he is truly doomed.

Therefore, Xiang Nan chose to save his and his mother's lives, which can be considered a reward for good deeds.

……

In 2016, because Xiang Nan had dealt with General Zod in advance, Superman's identity was not exposed, and he did not fight General Zod.

General Zod did not use the planetary terraforming device to modify the Earth and cause widespread panic among humanity, therefore Superman did not cause controversy.

In fact, because Superman did not reveal his identity, only a very small number of people on Earth know of his existence.

For example, there's Clark Kent's adoptive mother, Martha Kent, and Louise Lane, the journalist who was saved by Clark Kent.

Of course, thanks to Xiang Nan's influence, Thomas Wayne and his wife Martha Wayne were not killed, so Bruce Wayne had a happy childhood and did not become Batman.

Furthermore, after Lex Luthor had his intelligence taken away by Xiang Nan, he became a complete idiot and had no ability to plan or kill.

Therefore, the "Batman v Superman" event that was supposed to happen in 2016 did not occur at all.

In addition, the Enchantress and the Nightmare siblings were dealt with by Xiang Nan decades ago, so the story of the Suicide Squad never unfolded, and Midway City and even the whole world escaped a calamity.

……

In 2017, because Xiang Nan had collected the Mother Box early on and studied it thoroughly, he did not send a signal to Apokolips, and therefore did not attract the attention of Steppenwolf and Darkseid.

Naturally, Steppenwolves did not invade Earth, and the Amazons, Atlanteans, and Earthlings all escaped disaster.

Xiang Nan once again saved the world in a way that no one knew about.

……

In June of 2018, the previously calm ocean suddenly erupted.

Large amounts of marine debris are washed ashore, turning the beaches of all coastal cities into garbage dumps.

Moreover, a large number of fishing boats, warships, and even submarines were also pushed ashore by the giant waves, resulting in losses exceeding $500 billion.

Newspapers, television, and the internet have all reported extensively on this matter, believing that it is nature's revenge caused by humans' overexploitation of marine resources and dumping of garbage into the ocean. Therefore, they call for environmental protection and to cherish the hard-won home of humankind.

"This is not revenge from the ocean, but revenge from the Atlanteans," Diana said to Xiang Nan immediately after seeing the news.

“Although their methods are somewhat extreme, it must be said that their approach has its reasons. Over the years, humans have indeed wreaked havoc on the ocean,” Xiang Nan said to Diana.

In the last hundred years, the number of people and the scope and frequency of their activities have increased dramatically, placing a huge burden on the oceans.

Humans overfish, discharge sewage, dump garbage, and extract oil in the ocean... they've practically turned the ocean into a garbage dump.

The Atlanteans lived in the ocean, and seeing humans wreaking havoc on the sea, they were naturally dissatisfied, so their choice to retaliate was not unreasonable.

“That makes sense,” Diana nodded. “Besides, the Atlanteans have a terrible temper and have even fought against our Amazonian race. Now that humans have offended them, they’re in trouble.” “That’s good. You can’t teach someone everything, but you can learn something from experience,” Xiang Nan laughed. “With the Atlanteans’ counterattack, let’s see if humans will still dare to dump garbage and wastewater into the sea.”

“However, if humans and Atlanteans were to go to war, the war could destroy the entire Earth,” Diana said worriedly. “As early as five thousand years ago, the Atlanteans had already mastered extremely advanced technology and were definitely not to be trifled with.”

"Don't worry, if they get too worked up, we'll step in to stop them," Xiang Nan said with a smile. "But right now it's just a small skirmish, so I don't think we need to be so nervous."

For him, resolving the conflict between Atlantis and humanity was not difficult.

Although Atlantis's technology was advanced, it was still far behind Xiang Nan's.

If they go too far, Xiang Nan will take action to deal with them.

Diana nodded upon hearing this.

……

But before Xiang Nan could deal with them, Aquaman Arthur Curry, together with Mera, found the lost Trident of Poseidon of Atlantis and successfully defeated his brother Orm, becoming the new king of Atlantis.

Arthur Curry is a hybrid of human and Atlantean, having spent far more time in human society than in the ocean, not to mention he has a human father.

Therefore, after becoming the new king of Atlantis, he immediately stopped Atlantis's plan to take revenge on humanity. As a result, the ocean returned to calm.

Xiang Nan was also spared the trouble of taking action.

……

In 2019, because Xiang Nan had acquired the abilities of the wizard Shazam nearly a hundred years earlier, Billy Batson was unable to become Shazam's successor.

This is actually a good thing.

Because Billy Batson was always a child, his intelligence and adaptability were not strong, which led to him repeatedly causing trouble after becoming Shazam.

Either he broke the staff, releasing the Titan sisters, or he carelessly tossed the golden apple aside, which the Titan sisters easily found, almost causing a major catastrophe on Earth.

Of course, because Xiang Nan inherited the wizard Shazam's abilities in advance, Dr. Sivana was not summoned to the Rock of Eternity, and therefore he was not chosen by the Seven Deadly Sins as their host.

In this way, the great war between the Seven Deadly Sins and the Shazam family was avoided, and the people of Philadelphia were spared a catastrophe.

……

A year later, in 2020, the world's climate suddenly became very strange.

Not only have temperatures soared across the country, but numerous severe weather events, including floods, hurricanes, droughts, and hailstorms, have also occurred.

"What's going on? It looks like something terrible is going to happen to Earth!" Diana asked Xiang Nan worriedly.

In all her decades on Earth, this was the first time she had encountered such unusual weather; everything was eerie and unsettling.

“Perhaps it’s because of the increased human activity in recent years. Isn’t it said that the world is experiencing global warming? Maybe this is nature’s punishment,” Xiang Nan said to Diana.

Diana nodded.

She also felt that humanity had gone too far in its treatment of nature.

Everywhere there is rampant deforestation, sewage discharge, garbage dumping, exhaust gas emissions, overfishing, and so on, which has led to the pollution of the ocean, sky, rivers, and land.

The current abnormal climate may be a form of retaliation from Earth.
