Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 369 Grass counters water, electricity counters water, the Sea King is completely countered
"boom!"

A massive fireball, over ten meters in diameter, roared out!

Crimson flames tore through the damp sea breeze, and the scorching heat instantly evaporated the surrounding moisture, turning the sea surface a blood-red color!
Aquaman's pupils contracted sharply, and his trident plunged into the sea, creating a thick wall of water.

The fireball collided with the wall of water, unleashing a deafening roar!

White mist shot into the sky, and steam spread in all directions like a hurricane. The terrified burly men were thrown into the air by the waves and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Cough...!" Arthur was forced back several meters, the waves crashing violently beneath his feet. He shook his arm, which was scalded red, his anger intensifying. "You're asking for it!"

The trident blazed with golden light, and Aquaman roared. The entire sea seemed to respond to his call, with giant waves rising up like a thousand horses and dozens of water tornadoes rushing towards Bruce Yu!

Bruce Yu smirked, flapped his wings, and soared into the sky. "Do you know which attribute counters water?"

Aquaman didn't care about any of that; all he wanted was to kill the guy in front of him.

"Remember that."

"Water overcomes the ground, rocks, and fire."

"Grass, electricity, and water!"

"Lightning Release: Pseudo-Dark Feather!"

Bruce Yu suddenly spread his wings, and blinding lightning burst forth from the pure white surface of his wings, each feather transforming into a sharp blade wrapped with high-voltage current.

He swooped down from the sky, his lightning feathers pouring down like a torrential rain, colliding violently with the waterspout controlled by the Sea King!

“Zizizizi——boom!!!”

The moment the lightning struck the seawater, it unleashed a piercing shriek. Blue-white electric snakes spread wildly along the waterspout, turning the entire sea area into a high-voltage electric grid in the blink of an eye.

Caught off guard, before Aquaman could even retract his golden trident, electricity shot straight through his arms from the trident!

"Ughhhhh!" The Sea King's roar instantly twisted into a painful howl. His burly body convulsed violently, and his golden armor crackled and popped in the lightning. His muscles stiffened due to the paralysis caused by the electric current, and he almost dropped his trident. He was slammed into the sea by the impact of the pseudo-darkness, splashing up waves tens of meters high.

Beneath the surface, the electric light still lingered, like countless silver snakes burrowing into the deep sea.

After a moment of deathly silence
"Boom!"

The entire sea was in an uproar!
Thousands of Atlantean warriors burst forth from the waves, their silver-blue armor standing tall amidst the lightning!

Wielding tridents and energy spears, riding giant seahorses and armored sharks, the waves beneath their feet coalesced into a charging ladder. The leading general raised his battle flag high, his voice booming: "Surface people! You deserve to die!"

Bruce Yu hovered in mid-air, his fading wings slightly folded. He surveyed the army that covered the sea, a cold smile playing on his lips: "A bunch of worthless bastards. I haven't even pulled the tendons out of Aquaman yet, and you're already showing up? If you're so capable, why don't you flood Gotham?"

Aquaman rose anew, riding the vortex, his golden hair standing on end, his armor charred black, but the fury in his eyes was fiercer than thunder.

He wiped the grime from his mouth, pointed his trident straight at the sky, and shouted, "Warriors of Atlantis! Crush him!"

"kill!!!"

Bruce Yu smiled and looked at Aquaman, "Do you still remember the restraint I just told you about?"

"Water overcomes the ground, rocks, and fire."

"Grass, electrolysis water!"

"Now that the electricity's gone, I'll give you water-type Pokémon some more grass!"

"Wooden Release: The birth of the tree world!"

Aquaman's pupils contracted, he held his trident horizontally in front of his chest, and roared, "All units, defend!"

But it's too late.

boom!
Countless thick, dark green trees suddenly burst forth from beneath the sea, emerging from the water like giant pythons. The vines on the trees entwined the mounts and weapons of the Atlantean warriors!
The vines, covered in sharp wooden spikes, easily tore through the silver-blue armor, and screams mingled with the sound of crashing waves. "What the hell is this thing?! A forest growing from hundreds of meters underwater?!" A general's shark mount was knocked away by a branch, and he stumbled and fell, only to be lifted up by another vine and slammed into the Sea King's battle formation.

Aquaman swung his halberd to cut the oncoming vines, only to find that the severed branches instantly regenerated!

The entire sea area was transformed into a thicket of thorns in just a few seconds, and the Atlantean army was scattered and broken!

If Yamato were to come and see this scene, he would have no choice but to cut off his own arms to avoid tarnishing the reputation of Wood Release.

This is the true Wood Release!

"Can we talk now?" Bruce Yu stood atop the highest branch, looking down at the disheveled Neptune. "Darkseid's Parademon army is ten times more troublesome than this, and they are immune to your water-type advantage."

Aquaman's chest heaved violently, his trident humming with rage. He suddenly leaped forward, charging towards Bruce Yu across the vines, the tip of his trident aimed straight for the man's throat: "For Atlantis!"

"Keng!"

Poseidon's halberd tip pressed against Susanoo's skeleton, scattering a string of dazzling sparks!

Aquaman's pupils contracted sharply as the translucent giant skeleton emanated from Bruce Yu's body, with sacred milky-white energy flowing between the grim white bones, like armor from hell!
(Let's just assume it's white)

"You can't even touch the hem of my clothes, how can you stop Darkseid?" Bruce Yu's voice came through Susanoo, carrying a cold sarcasm.

Aquaman roared and exerted his power once more, his trident bursting with dazzling golden light, and a giant wave a hundred meters high rose up on the sea surface, turning into countless water blades that slashed towards Susanoo!
"Splash!" The moment the water blade hit the skeleton, it was bounced back and turned into a cloud of water mist.

Bruce Yu's Mangekyou Sharingan slowly rotated in the mist. "The King of Atlantis, is this all you've got?"

Aquaman staggered back several steps, his chest heaving violently.

He glanced at the sea, where the Wood Release: Descent of the Tree World had already knocked his army into the water, the soldiers' groans mingling with the howls of the sea beasts they rode.

Shame and anger burned through Aquaman's reason, but a chill crept into his heart.
This guy who calls himself "Bruce Yu" may not even have used his full strength yet.

"What exactly do you want?" Aquaman asked through gritted teeth, his trident plunging heavily into a crevice in a tree on the sea surface as he tried to steady himself.

Bruce Yu raised his hand and waved it, and Susanoo's giant palm pressed down, shoving Poseidon and his halberd into the sea!
“I want you to face reality.” His voice grew colder as Aquaman sank. “I know the Mother Box is in the deepest part of the Atlantis temple, and Darkseid’s army will kill every life for it.”

“Surface people…” Aquaman gasped for breath, “Even if what you’re saying is true, Atlantis will never bow to threats!”

"A threat?" Bruce Yu suddenly laughed.

He deactivated Susanoo, flapped his wings, and landed in front of Poseidon, so close that he could see the bloodshot in the other's pupils. "I'm here to give you a chance, Xu Jinjiang."

Bruce Yu lowered his voice, "Why do you think I approached you first? Because the stupid fish in the ocean are harder to communicate with, while you have human genes and some brains. If I were here to steal the Mother Box, why would I make such a fuss? If I were to sneak in carefully, what could you do to me?"

Aquaman was stunned, and angry waves surged uneasily beneath his feet.

"I'm giving you one last chance to choose: join the Justice League, hand over the Mother Box, and fight Darkseid alongside my allies."

Bruce Yu activated Sage Mode, "Or..."

"I'm going to just rob it!!"

Aquaman stared intently at Bruce Yu!

Seeing that Bruce Yu's aura was beginning to change, he turned and glanced back at his tribesmen who were barely clinging to life on the water.

Although these tribesmen were all in a sorry state, none of them died.

Neptune hesitated, his heart beginning to waver.

A moment later, he clenched his fist and shouted, "I'll settle the score with you after I've dealt with the foreign enemies!"

Bruce Yu reached out to Aquaman, "Let's survive this crisis first. Now, take me to see the Mother Box."
