The heavens begin with the king of gotham

Chapter 734: The power of the bat, three stages!
Pre-war preparations.

"Actually, I've always wanted to come meet you and get to know my brother."

Arthur walked up to Orm and looked into his eyes. "Tell him he's not alone. He has a brother like me who can protect him."

Om looked a little moved, but then Arthur said, "But I didn't expect you to grow up to be such a bastard."

It seems that Om must get some critical hit from his brother.

"It's because of you that my mother died!" Om was also a little excited.

But Arthur, who had studied Atlantis politics in the past two days, didn't think so.

Just because the Queen had an illegitimate child before marriage, she was driven off the throne and exiled. What a devilish joke!
Moreover, she was exiled several years after returning to get married and give birth to a prince. It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it.

Arthur stared at the angry Om, thinking that only his silly brother who had been brainwashed with this idea since childhood would believe that he was really a illegitimate child.

After all, it was impossible for the nobles of Atlantis to tell Om that they drove the queen out of power because of political struggles, right?

But even so, Orm told Arthur: "I don't want to kill you, Arthur."

"I'm giving you one last chance, go home and never come back!"

Arthur felt a little relieved that his stupid brother was not hopeless, but he still said: "You know I can't do that."

At this time, the door above opened and the King's Challenge officially began.

"Let's start the war!" Om threw down a sentence and rushed out first.

Arthur shrugged and followed behind.

The arena was already full of spectators. When King Orm appeared, he won cheers from the audience, but when Arthur came out, he was booed by the audience.

"traitor!"

"shame!"

Arthur didn't take the insults to heart at all, but when he looked at the light screen showing the two people's information on the field, he almost broke down.

【King Om Mallos】

[Advantages: King of Atlantis, noble, warrior, thinker, eighth-degree martial artist of Zebel Kung Fu, Coral Heart Medal combat hero, EAC marathon champion, five-time winner of the Invincible Trident. ]

[Disadvantage: None]

The list of advantages in Ohm was almost too long to list, with a bunch of names that Arthur had never heard of, but when it came to Arthur himself——

【Mestizo】

[Advantage: None]

[Disadvantages: Landman, bastard, drunkard. ]

Arthur's head was nearly set on fire by rage. Why didn't he even deserve a name? It would have been fine to just say he was an alcoholic, but there was no mention of his other identities at all.

"I'm still a member of the Justice League, Aquaman, and Extra-Staff Robin, and my uncle is still the King of Gotham!" Arthur muttered to himself.

Seeing such obvious targeting, he suddenly realized that was he too hasty in agreeing to the king's challenge?
Arthur originally thought that after defeating Orm, even if he gave up the position of king, he would at least make Orm stop fighting against the land.

But now he thought, even if he won, could he really change the policy of Atlantis with just one competition?

Even if Om agrees, will the nobles of Atlantis agree?

This isn't Wakanda!

A shadow fell over Arthur's heart.

But at this time the competition had already begun. The underwater octopus waved his tentacles and beat the battle drums "dong dong dong".

Orm rushed over and smashed the trident in his hand towards Arthur with great force, but Arthur caught it steadily.

This time he is not the wild and rude man in the movie plot. Batman’s personal teaching is no less valuable than the so-called eighth-level martial artist Zebel.

He has the power of the bat, third stage!
"boom!"

Arthur seized Orm's opportunity and swung his trident to knock him out, which made the audience's cheers quieter. Then Arthur seized the opportunity to attack, and Orm was not to be outdone. The two fought and tore the arena to pieces, but the audience's voices became louder.

Who doesn’t like to watch exciting competitions?

Oh, indeed.

In the Atlantis noble box, seeing King Orm being beaten back again and again, someone spoke up: "Om must not lose, a war with the land is imperative!"

"Well, it's time for the people on the land to recognize their place!" Another noble nodded in agreement, "I'll make the arrangements."

Back to the fight.

Arthur had already firmly gained the upper hand at this point, but he was more alert and was observing his surroundings while fighting.

Because he understood that whether this competition could change the policy of Atlantis depended on whether the nobles approved it.

"If the answer is no, action should be taken now," Arthur thought to himself.

Sure enough, after a while Arthur saw a group of Atlantis soldiers surrounding the arena.

Arthur cursed in his heart: "No moral ethics!"

So he quickly changed his mind and set his sights back on the trident that Vico had mentioned.

If we can find the Trident and have the ability to command the ocean, we will definitely be able to turn the situation around.

With this in mind, Arthur slowly slowed down his movements while fighting, pretending that he had used up all three axe moves and was too exhausted to fight anymore.

In reality, he was observing the loopholes in the arena's defenses, preparing to slip away.

Just wait until you sneak out, then look for clues about how Vicco and Mera got the trident.

However, Vicco and Mera, who were watching the battle, did not know Arthur's plan. They only saw that Arthur was in a huge disadvantage and was in danger several times.

"I promised the Queen that I would protect him." Vico muttered to himself.

But he still hesitated. Although Arthur was his disciple, Orm was also the queen's son.

It would be fine to give Arthur some help at ordinary times, but now is a critical moment concerning the entire Atlantis, and Vico still has not made up his mind to publicly support Arthur.

After all, this also concerns his own political status.

But Vico had choices, but Mera didn't.

Although Mera still had the option of marrying Orm, she didn't want to.

Not only did Om disagree with her political views, but he was also manipulated by the nobles. After she married him, she could only be a vase queen.

So Mera plans to - all in!
She left the noble box directly. Vico was shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect Mera to be so decisive.

When Orm was chasing Arthur and beating him up, a sudden stream of water blew him away. Arthur recognized that it was Mera's magic.

Then he really saw Mera driving a spaceship towards him.

"what?"

Arthur was stunned.

No, is my ally so brave?

"What? Are you still waiting for me to send you an invitation?" Mera asked dissatisfiedly.

Arthur immediately came to his senses and sat in.

He guessed that Mera must have thought that he couldn't defeat Orm, so she came to save him.

But Arthur also knew that Mera could actually go back and be the queen peacefully, but now she chose to save him in public.

Even though he is a smart sea king, he can't help but think at this moment -

"Does she like me?"
