Chapter 83: Husband Arrested, Son Missing, She's Putting on Makeup

There were still soldiers inside the palace, and a large army was pressing in from outside.

Even though Orm was playing some fancy tricks, at this moment he only touched Mera's shoulder and did not do anything else.

Even so, he was still taken aback by Connors's sudden remark:

"Where did you come from?"

"I'm not telling you," Connors said, looking at Mera's still worried face. "You've really figured out the widow's nature. In that case, why don't you take me with you?"

"What are you saying?" Mera asked, both embarrassed and angry.

Connors didn't speak, but instead controlled "Kusama" to pout, mimicking Mera's coy and reluctant manner just now.

"Soldier, take him away, no matter who he is!"

Om was furious when Connors slapped him and mimicked their expressions, so he gritted his teeth and roared.

The surrounding soldiers quickly gathered around.

While still on his way to Atlantis, before even reaching the palace, Connors used his "Magnify" ability to amplify the "Kusama Man" who was far away in the palace several times over, allowing him to easily evade the soldiers' attacks.

At the same time, he said:

"Arthur is not dead yet."

Connors has been trying to bring "Aquaman" Arthur into his soon-to-be-formed "Justice League" as one of his potential future partners, and he is not happy to see his partner being cuckolded.

After saying this, he would decide whether to find an opportunity to kill the other party or to take other measures based on Mera's reply.

"He was only a hair's breadth away from death, and after I lead Atlantis to conquer the land, Mera will no longer be the 'Queen of the Sea,' but the Queen of the entire world."

Orm interjected, saying he didn't care about Connors revealing that Arthur wasn't dead; he had enough attractive bargaining chips.

Sure enough, upon hearing Orm's words, even Mera, the "Queen of the Sea," could not resist the temptation. She silently turned around, revealing her alluring back through the light green veil to Connors.

Poor Mera, the sea queen, is such a bitch.

With the "magnification" ability gone, the Grass Man lost his ability to resist and was stabbed by the Atlantean soldiers who attacked again, turning back into withered grass.

But by this time, Connors had already arrived in the Kingdom of Atlantis with the others, so whether or not the Kusama Man was there was no longer important.

And through Mera's attitude, Connors understood that he could once again freely enjoy the gossip.

And there's no need to worry about this or that.

For example, he planned to find an opportunity to kick Mera, the "Queen of the Sea".

"The Flash" Barry, still incredibly fast in the water, swam ahead, circled around, and returned to say:

"Perhaps we can bypass their defenses?"

Before he could finish speaking, a cannonball from Atlantis exploded over.

"It's too late, they've already found us," Hal said.

Connors looked at the warships rising in the distance and said to the people beside him:

"You guys handle it, I have other things to do."

"Superman" Clark and the others were hardly surprised by Connors' departure, after all, even his title was "Outsider," and they didn't expect Connors to follow them around the whole time.

"If you're too far away, my green light might not be able to protect you." Hal was worried that Connors would drown. "Don't worry," Connors replied, knowing full well.

"Kusama" was not protected by the Green Lantern Ring within the palace and was still able to move about without any problems.

As they spoke, although the palace gates were opened, there was a protective membrane between them and the seawater, preventing seawater from entering.

And the place he was going to was the royal palace, so whether or not he had a green light ring was not important.

And another thing, Connors really wanted to see Mera's sassy, ​​widow-like face with his own eyes.

What if I get the green light and then pull out a glow stick, causing the other person to burst out laughing?

Within the territory of Atlantis, "Superman" Clark and others have already encountered the Atlantean soldiers.

They came to help Arthur, but the Atlantean soldiers did not give them a chance, and shells came one after another.

"It seems they don't want to communicate properly," Hal said.

"Superman" flew over and intercepted all the bombs by himself, but more bombs followed, along with sonic weapons and neurotoxins.

Hal, the Green Lantern, was the first to be affected, suffering from the sonic weapon and then being attacked by a neurotoxin weapon. Then, it seemed that Atlantis was also casting a spell.

The water flowed like drills, relentlessly attacking the mouths, noses, and eyes of several people.

With Green Lantern Hal protecting them, everyone could completely ignore him, but Hal was also being attacked at the moment.

As the green protective glow on "The Flash" Barry was the first to break, the others were subsequently exposed to the seawater.

Instead, Batman Wayne's mask snapped shut, and the thrusters on his back propelled him toward the Atlantis fleet.

Batman's back, which Bane had severed, hadn't healed yet. From Beach City to Atlantis, he wore the same enormous Batsuit with thrusters.

Superman was also unaffected; however, to avoid seawater entering his body, he had to pinch his nose while launching the attack.

Based on their combined strength, they should be able to deal with these fleets quickly, until Om appears.

Holding a trident and wearing a gold and green suit, Orm pointed the trident at "Superman" Clark. A golden light burst forth, instantly halting Clark's attack.

Orm, along with the Atlantean sorcerers who could manipulate water, unleashed a barrage of beams, water jets, and sonic weapons, and "Superman" Clark quickly collapsed to his knees on the seabed.

"Batman" Bruce Wayne glanced at "Superman" Clark, who had attracted most of the attention, and then hid himself first.

His purpose in coming here is to find the missing uranium from the nuclear submarine. As for the others, Lord Wayne has another rescue plan.

Soon, everyone except "Batman" Bruce and "Outsider" Connors was captured by Atlantean soldiers, and each of them was fitted with a headband that flashed red light.

The headband continuously released atomized neurotoxins, sound waves, and electric currents, rendering these people unable to use their abilities.

"What brings you here?"

In the main hall of the palace, Orm once again stood before the throne, looking down at the three people below.

"Where is Arthur?" Clarke asked.

Orm, holding his trident, wore a cold expression.

"I thought you had already discussed it and made arrangements to let him live out his old age in peace."

As Arthur might only know one person on land, Clark said somewhat anxiously:

"No, we're here to help him. His brother, Orm, is plotting against him."

Orm laughed in anger:

"Nonsense! I consider what just happened to be an act of war by the earthlings. You will be executed as enemies of Atlantis, in the way that you earthlings fear most."

"It's a pity you can't die with Arthur and his son, but I promise I'll feed your corpses to a shark."

"Then, I will destroy the world on earth forever."

After saying this, Om ordered his soldiers to lock these people in a cylindrical, transparent cage, with seawater constantly pouring in from the top nozzle.

"Superman, can you break these chains?" Barry asked anxiously.

The three of them had their hands tied to the cage walls, and headbands were constantly interfering with their movements, preventing Barry from using the Speed ​​Force for a moment.

"No, I sense a strange radiation in this seawater that's making me extremely weak," Clark said helplessly after struggling for a moment.

"I can't concentrate—" Hal's brain was being stirred up by the sound waves.

Om stood before them, quietly preparing to watch as the people on land were drowned by the sea.

To avoid damaging his image in front of the soldiers, Om also dismissed all the soldiers from the palace.

At the very back of the palace, Connors had already found Mera's room.

He had clearly heard Orm mention that Aquaman Arthur had a son, but Mera was alone at the time, neither rescuing Aquaman nor looking for her son.

This woman is putting on makeup.

With 10% of the Green of All Things, I can now try to imitate "Poison Ivy" Ivy to create toxins—

Connors looked at the alluring red-haired figure with her back to him and took out a few sunflower seeds from his pocket.

He now carries some melon seeds with him, firstly to eat them while watching the fun, and secondly because they can also be seeds when he needs to use "Green of All Things".
