American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 298 I think the Queen Mother still has her charm

Arthur sat in the room, his fingers tightly gripping his phone, his eyes wandering.

Arthur's eyes were fixed on the video on the screen, which was a crudely made fan video featuring a 3D video clip between his wife Mera and Xiao Xian.

Although the video was poorly produced and the picture was blurry at times, Arthur unexpectedly felt his heart beating faster and an irrepressible excitement surge in his chest.

Arthur couldn't help but be surprised at his own reaction, and a trace of doubt rose in his heart: "Do I really have some cuckold complex?"

Arthur's fingers slid across the screen, and the intimate actions of Mera and Xiao Xian in the video made his heart beat faster and his cheeks flushed slightly. He felt a certain desire deep in his heart being awakened, and a complex emotion that he had never experienced before surged in his heart.

Just as he was immersed in this complex emotion, the door suddenly opened. Mera walked in with a cheerful smile on her face. Arthur was startled and quickly put away his phone, fearing that Mera would find out that he was watching that kind of video. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

When Mera saw Arthur, the smile on her face instantly turned into a look of disgust. "Why are you lying on the bed in the master bedroom?" Her tone was filled with obvious disgust and dissatisfaction.

Arthur scratched his head awkwardly, sat up on the bed, and tried to force a flattering smile. "I'm just taking a break, nothing else."

Mera gave him a cold look and turned to the door. "Since you are already lying on the bed in the master bedroom, I will move to the second bedroom. I don't want to lie on the bed you have slept on." Her tone was firm, showing no mercy to Arthur.

Arthur felt extremely helpless and guilty. He knew that his previous card playing with Yu had made Mera very angry. Now he could only bow his head and apologize, hoping to get her forgiveness.

"Mera, I'm sorry. What happened before was all my fault. I'm really sorry and I hope you can forgive me."

"Forgive me, maybe in the next life. You did such a disgusting thing, and you still expect me to forgive you?"

Mera gave him a cold look, then walked straight to the second bedroom and closed the door, leaving Arthur sitting alone on the bed.

"I really didn't want to do this. It seems that unless Mera also makes a big mistake, she will never forgive me in this life." Arthur, sitting on the bed, looked at the closed door of the second bedroom and muttered to himself.

Embarrassed and guilty, Arthur did not notice Mera's awkward and unnatural steps when she entered the room.

In Xiao Xian's room, all was quiet except for the faint light from a few flickering candles on the table. The furnishings in the room were simple and mysterious, with several ancient magic patterns hanging on the wall and various strange magic tools and books on the table.

In the center of the table, a crystal gem of the dead soul emitting a green glow lay quietly, as if it had its own life, flashing a mysterious light.

Xiao Xian took a deep breath and stretched out his hands towards the crystal gem. He closed his eyes, concentrated his attention, and silently chanted the ancient spell. As the spell was chanted, the air in the room seemed to become more solemn, and the green light became brighter, lingering on Xiao Xian's fingertips.

Xiao Xian's hands danced above the gem, and green light flashed at his fingertips.

Using the power of death that comes with the resurrection skill, Xiao Xian gradually gained control of the magic crystal, and looked for a way to communicate with Kodax through the mark left by Kodax in the crystal.

Soon, Xiao Xian found the method left by Kodax to communicate with him in the green crystal.

Using magic and calling according to the method left by Kodax, Xiao Xian soon felt his consciousness being pulled by a psychedelic spiritual space. With Xiao Xian's strength, he could easily break free from this pull, but Xiao Xian did not resist. Instead, he followed the pulling consciousness and entered a psychedelic spiritual space.

When Xiao Xian's consciousness explored the scene, he found himself in a strange underwater kingdom.

The blue water casts dappled light through the transparent ocean dome, illuminating this lost kingdom. Magnificent buildings are half-hidden in seaweed and corals, and ancient stone statues stand quietly, as if guarding this forgotten place. The surroundings are filled with a mysterious tranquility, as if time has stopped here.

In the center of the underwater kingdom, a huge frozen throne stood there, emitting a cold breath. Sitting on the throne was a figure wearing black armor, it was Kodax. This ancient king of Nekros had cold and deep eyes, as if he could penetrate Xiao Xian's soul.

Xiao Xian took a deep breath and walked towards the throne with great effort. Every step seemed to carry endless pressure, but Xiao Xian's eyes remained firm.

"Hello, great Kodax. My name is Abin, a magician expelled from Atlantis. I crave power and revenge. I heard that you are the powerful King Nekros, with endless wisdom and power. I came here hoping to sign a contract with you and use your power to realize my wish."

On the Frozen Throne, Kodax narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at Xiao Xian carefully and felt a familiar breath from him, which was the breath of the dimensional demon god.

Although he didn't know Xiao Xian, Kodax was sure that the person in front of him was definitely not a simple Avenger, but a dimensional demon, a terrifying existence that dominated a dimensional world.

Although Xiao Xian couldn't even conceal the aura of the Dimensional Demon God on himself and was not very good at disguise, he was obviously a new Dimensional Demon God, but no matter how new a Dimensional Demon God was, he was still a Dimensional Demon God. Even when he was in his prime, he had to respectfully ask for the other party's help, not to mention that he was now sealed.

When Kodax thought of borrowing, he remembered that he had asked several dimensional demons to borrow power in the past, but was defeated and sealed by his brother Atlan, and failed to repay the loan in time.

Could it be that the demon from another dimension treated his bad debt as a non-performing asset and sold it to the new demon from this dimension, and then this new demon from this dimension came to collect the debt from him?

Thinking of this, Kodax suddenly felt a chill in his heart. No wonder he wanted to sign a contract with him. He was after his soul!
Kodax said quickly: "Respected Dimensional Demon, although I don't know which Dimensional Demon transferred my debt to you, please rest assured that I will work hard to repay the debt."

Kodax continued, "I am working hard to recover my strength. I will be able to revive soon and harvest a large number of souls. By then, I will have enough resources to repay the debt. Please give me some time."

"."Is it exposed so soon? There shouldn't be any problem with my acting skills, right? Xiao Xian asked in a strange tone: "Kodax, how did you find out that I am actually a dimensional demon?"

Kodax's eyes flickered, and he whispered, "My Lord, you may have just become a dimensional demon god, and you don't quite understand the mystery. Generally speaking, when out of the dimensional space, dimensional demon gods will deliberately hide their aura to avoid being discovered by other powerful people."

"How do you know that I just became a dimensional demon god?" Xiao Xian asked curiously.
"Well, as a veteran dimensional demon, he usually hides his dimensional demon aura unless he is in his own world." Kodax explained awkwardly.

"That makes sense." Xiao Xian nodded and said, "Really? Then do you know how to hide the aura of a dimensional demon?" Kodax smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sir, I am not a dimensional demon, so I don't know the answer to this question. Maybe you can ask other dimensional demons for advice."

Xiao Xian was silent for a while, then followed what Kodax had said before and asked, "So, Kodax, how long will it take you to revive and pay your debt?"

Kodax's eyes flashed with nervousness, and he replied, "Soon, it won't be long."

Xiao Xian smiled slightly, seeming quite interested: "What are your conditions for resurrection? Maybe I can help you."

Kodax shook his head repeatedly, an uneasy look on his face: "No, sir, I can handle it myself. You just need to wait for good news."

After saying that, Kodax quickly cut off the connection with Xiao Xian as if he was running for his life. It seemed that if he was a second late, Xiao Xian would force him to sign the contract and take away his soul.

When his consciousness returned to the room, the green crystal had turned into powder. It was obvious that Kodak was afraid that Xiao Xian would contact him again through this.

If Xiao Xian had not watched Aquaman 2, he might not have had any good solution in the face of Kodax's decisive approach. But Xiao Xian, who had watched Aquaman , understood that there were two factors for Kodax's resurrection. One was the Atlantean royal bloodline to unlock Atlan's magic, and the other was the combination of the Dark Trident into one.

Xiao Xian was not sure whether this world was based on the movie world, but it should be roughly the same. Anyway, as long as he found the ruins of the lost kingdom of Necrus and the place where Kodax was sealed, Xiao Xian could use the resurrection skills to resurrect Kodax even if the resurrection conditions were not met.

Then kill Kodax to complete the mission and collect his soul.

Of course, if you can avoid using the resurrection skill, it is better not to use it. After all, resurrecting important plot characters, especially boss-level characters like Kodax, will cost a lot of world origin.

The best case scenario is to wait for the plot to kill him incorrectly and resurrect Kodax.

In addition, even if he used his skills to resurrect Kodax, Xiao Xian still had to find a way to follow the plot, because even the other six kingdoms didn't know about the ruins of the Kingdom of Necrus. In the movie, the protagonists finally found the ruins of the Kingdom of Necrus with the help of Black Manta and the Dark Trident.

Atlantis, a city of miracles hidden deep in the ocean, exudes endless brilliance and beauty. Surrounded by the vast ocean, the sun shines through the sea, casting a patch of mottled light and shadow. Schools of fish swim freely in the water, and colorful coral reefs and seaweed sway with the waves, like an underwater garden.

From afar, the outline of Atlantis gradually became clear. It was a magnificent city with an ancient and mysterious architectural style. The crystal clear crystal tower stood in the center of the city, flashing a mysterious light.

When Arthur and Mera entered the city gate with Selina and Xiao Xian, they were warmly welcomed. Aquaman Arthur's mother, Queen Mother Atlanna, personally led a team of guards to welcome their arrival.

Queen Atlanna stood in front of a group of guards. She looked like a younger version of Nicole Kidman, with long golden hair as smooth as the waves, falling on her delicate shoulders. Her face was as perfect as a sculpture, her blue eyes revealed wisdom and determination, and her red lips were slightly parted with a hint of elegant smile.

Atlanna was wearing a gorgeous blue robe inlaid with sparkling jewels, which set off her noble temperament. Every move she made was full of grace and calmness, like a goddess from mythology.

I think the empress dowager still has her charm, Xiao Xian couldn't help thinking as he looked at Atlanna.

It seems quite reasonable. According to the setting, the lifespan of Atlanteans is much longer than that of humans on land. Even though Atlanna's son is already grown up, if converted into human age, he is probably only in his twenties or thirties.

"Arthur, Mera, welcome home." Queen Mother Atlanna's voice was gentle and powerful. She glanced at Selina and Xiao Xian and smiled. "Who are these two envoys?"

Arthur replied respectfully: "Mother, this is Selina, and this is Abin. They are human messengers who have come to Atlantis to seek cooperation."

Atlanna nodded and smiled at the two messengers. "Welcome to Atlantis. We are willing to listen to your voice and discuss the path of peaceful development for humans and Atlantis."

After a simple greeting, Atlanna led Aquaman and Mera to the palace, while Selina and Xiao Xian, led by the guards, crossed the bustling streets and came to a hotel specially prepared for them.

Located in the heart of Atlantis, this hotel has an elegant architectural style and gorgeous interior decoration. Every detail reveals the unique style of the underwater kingdom.

After Selina simply put away her luggage, she couldn't wait to come to Xiao Xian's room. The room was beautifully decorated, and through the transparent walls, she could see the beautiful underwater scenery outside. Colorful fish were swimming outside the window, like a moving painting.

Selina pushed open the door and saw Xiao Xian standing in front of the window, staring at the crystal tower in the distance. She walked over gently and said with a teasing smile: "Xiao Xian, judging from the look in your eyes just now, are you attracted to Queen Mother Atlanna?"

Xiao Xian turned around, put his arm around Selina, and laughed softly, "Okay, I admit that Atlanna is really good. The identity of the Queen Mother is also a plus."

Selina raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of curiosity and provocation: "So, you plan to attack her?"

Xiao Xian smiled and said, "Why not? If we can capture Atlanna, not only can we use her power in Atlantis, but we can also accelerate the fall of Sea King Arthur."

"Why do I feel that Arthur is a bit miserable? He is the King of the Sea, but you got Queen Mera, whom he had never touched, drunken her into a puff yesterday, and today you have set your eyes on Queen Mother Atlanna." Selina laughed, covering her mouth.

"Let me tell you something, you won't think so." Xiao Xian said to Selena who was smiling.

"What's the matter?" Selina asked curiously.

"Aquaman wants to attack you." Xiao Xian said, "Bruce told me."

"What! That ****, a toad wants to eat swan meat. I only belong to you!" Selina immediately got angry when she heard it, "Does he have any other beautiful female relatives?"
