Chapter 398 I can control the water flow up and down

At this moment, if you look from a distance, you can see two huge waves crashing towards each other from the sea and the shore at the same time.

One on the left, one on the right; one water, one sand.

Two enormous wave walls, tens of meters high, collided with terrifying force.

boom-!!

A dull, loud bang suddenly exploded.

The towering white waves collided violently with the vast expanse of yellow sand, sending massive amounts of water and dust flying into the air.

Du Mu's basic spirit attribute has now exceeded 100 points, greatly enhancing his control over sand.

Under his control, the sand dunes became like an iron wall, forcefully stopping the waves halfway.

The moment seawater hits the sand, the enormous impact cancels each other out.

The waves that were originally heading straight for the town lost their momentum and could no longer push forward. They could only split off along the sides of the sand waves and spread towards the cliffs and mudflats on the shore.

Although some seawater still washed ashore, it was no longer enough to cause devastating damage.

As the tide lost its initial force, its momentum waned, and the rolling waves slowly receded, gradually calming the turbulent sea.

A catastrophe that could have wiped out the entire coastal town was averted by Du Mu alone.

The town was first deathly silent, then it erupted into a frenzy.

The deafening cheers and applause mingled together with the cries of many survivors.

The residents who survived the disaster were moved to tears, looking up at the figure spreading its wings in mid-air. Some even reached out their hands to the figure in the air, their eyes filled with awe and gratitude.

A group of children recognized the figure and shouted, "Long live Almighty!"

Seeing that the disaster was over, Du Mu returned to the shore and put away his single wing. He then saw Arthur staring at him in disbelief, looking like a dazed man.

Du Mu felt a surge of relief.

He went through all that trouble to show off, wasn't it all for this effect?

Arthur finally came to his senses and exclaimed in shock, "Du Mu, you actually have this ability? How come I've never heard you mention it before?"

Du Mu remained calm and composed: "I've always been a low-key person and never like to show off. Do you think I have dozens of abilities that I need to tell you about?"

Damn it, he got me again!

Arthur's lips twitched, his gaze sweeping over the sea that was gradually calming down, when he suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Why is there a clump of seaweed floating there?"

Du Mu looked in the direction he pointed and indeed saw a greenish thing floating on the sea.

"That's not seaweed, it's a woman."

Du Mu had amazing eyesight and could see that it was a red-haired woman wearing a dark green jumpsuit, floating motionless on her back in the water.

[NPC: Mera Zebella Chara]

【Favourability: 0】

[Evaluation: Princess of Zebella, Queen of the Sea, skilled in water control]

Status: Coma

Du Mu was a little surprised.

He originally thought she was just a passerby who had fallen into the water, but he never expected her to be a princess from one of the seven underwater kingdoms.

Can fish really drown?

Du Mu casually waved his hand, and a clump of sand swept across the water, pulling the woman named Mera back and placing her at his feet.

Arthur stepped forward and saw Mera's incredibly realistic face; his heart skipped a beat.

Although he can't be the mermaid princess to save the prince, it doesn't seem impossible for him to be the mermaid prince to save the princess.

"She looks like she's drowning; she needs immediate first aid."

Arthur knelt down and reached out to press Mera's chest down.

Du Mu kicked Arthur aside.

"Let go of that girl, let me handle this."

Just as Du Mu squatted down, preparing to give Mera artificial respiration, Mera suddenly opened her eyes.

Du Mu was disappointed: "How did you wake up... cough cough, I mean, you're finally awake, that's great."

Mera blinked, a hint of confusion in her emerald green eyes.

She propped herself up on her arms, her wet red hair clinging to her cheeks. She looked at Du Mu first, then at Arthur.

How did I get here?

"We found you at sea and pulled you ashore. Where did you come from?"

Arthur mistook Mera for an ordinary civilian on a wrecked ship.

Mera stood up and introduced herself: "My name is Mera Zebella Chara, and I come from the country of Zebella."

Arthur raised an eyebrow: "You're from Atlantis?"

Mera nodded: "That's right, I'm here to see you. Your half-brother, King Orm, has joined forces with the Kingdom of Zebella and officially declared war on the land. That tsunami just now was the beginning."

"I originally came to warn you, so I swam with the waves. But halfway there, a huge sandstorm suddenly crashed down on me. Before I could react, I was knocked unconscious. Do you know what happened?"

Arthur:

'

""

Du Mu:

'

""

"You might be hallucinating. There are no sand waves on the ocean."

Du Mu chuckled, then changed the subject, asking, "Since the Kingdom of Zebella has allied with Orm, and you are the princess of Zebella, why did you come here to remind Arthur?"

Mera said earnestly, "I don't want to see a full-scale war break out between the sea and the land, which would kill countless people, whether they are people on land or people in the sea."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Arthur.

"And you are the eldest son of Queen Atlanna, and you also have the right to inherit the throne. Only if you become the King of Atlantis can you stop Orm, stop this war, and protect everyone."

Arthur felt helpless after hearing this.

Why are they all urging him to inherit the throne of Atlantis?

It's as if the whole world would be destroyed because of him if he didn't take that position.

But he really didn't want to be a king. He was still young and just wanted to go to bars and have fun every day.

Mera continued, "Furthermore, Atlantis and Zebella are allied, and as a princess of Zebella, I am obligated to marry the King of Atlantis in a political alliance. I really don't want to marry a warmonger."

"Um!?"

Arthur's expression immediately changed, and he adopted a righteous and awe-inspiring look.

"To be honest, I share the same idea as you. I have long known about Orm's ambitions, so I have already decided to set off to find the Holy Trident, reclaim the throne of Atlantis, and protect the peace of the land and the sea."

Du Mu: You've been talking nonsense. You didn't think that way before.

Mera was taken aback: "The Holy Trident? Isn't that just a legend?"

"A legend is just a legend because no one has ever seen it, not because it doesn't exist."

Du Mu said with a smile, "I have found the location of the Holy Trident through magical means."

Arthur was a little confused: "Wait, didn't you just say quantum mechanics?"

Du Mu remained unfazed: "Magic is also a form of quantum mechanics."

Arthur said skeptically, "I've been to school, don't lie to me. One is science and the other is magic, how could they be the same thing?"

Du Mu patiently explained, "That's a misunderstanding people have about magic. In fact, when magicians use magic, they incorporate a lot of scientific theoretical knowledge. For example, when they swing their swords to cut people, they use the lever principle, the principle of gravity, and so on."

Arthur: "???"

No, why would a magician use a sword to kill someone?

Thump thump thump thump thump—

A helicopter flew towards them from the sky.

It was clearly the Penguin's helicopter that had arrived.

The cabin door opened, and a penguin wearing a top hat stepped out, beaming: "Boss, here's the helicopter you requested."

Du Mu raised an eyebrow: "Why did you come here?"

"Boss, of course I have to personally handle the matter you entrusted to me."

Penguin chuckled. This was the first time Du Mu had entrusted him with matters outside the company. He didn't trust anyone else to do it, so he came himself.

"Not bad, not bad."

Du Mu nodded in satisfaction.

It has to be said that having a penguin as a lackey is indeed a relief.

However, he soon sensed something was wrong.

How did the penguin's head end up at its eye level?

Du Mu looked down.

Well, the heel is only a few centimeters high.

Du Mu's face hardened, and he scolded, "Take off your height-increasing shoes right now. I hate dishonest people the most."

Even he only dared to wear three centimeters, how could he allow the penguin man to have more than him?

"Okay, boss."

The penguin dared not disobey and quickly took off those ridiculously high-heeled shoes, from which several insoles fell out.

Du Mu:

'

'

Good grief, are you walking on stilts here?

The penguin pulled a pair of shoes out of the helicopter, put them on, and asked respectfully, "Boss, where are you going?"

I'll have the driver take you there.

Du Mu didn't waste any more words. He took out a world map and pointed to a certain location in the Pacific Ocean.

Penguin was a bit troubled: "The Pacific Ocean, boss. This location is a bit beyond the range of a helicopter. We won't have enough fuel. Unless we switch to a big ship, we'll crash into the sea halfway there."

"No need."

Du Mu waved his hand and threw a ball of hellfire at the helicopter.

The moment the flames struck the fuselage, they spread rapidly like mercury, proliferating along every crevice of the casing. Gradually, a hideous skull face melted into the nose of the fuselage, with the observation window transforming into the skull's two eye sockets, their edges flaming with flames.

All four blades ignited simultaneously, engulfing the entire blade in orange-red flames, with the flames trailing long tails in the direction of rotation.

The tail rotor also changed, becoming a vertical ring of fire that rotated to form a burning halo.

In the blink of an eye, an ordinary helicopter transforms into a demonic machine that seems to have sprung from hell.

Hellfire can be used to enchant not only weapons, but also vehicles, like Ghost Rider's iconic motorcycle.

Everyone was stunned.

I've heard of magical girls transforming, but how come a helicopter can transform too?

"Let's go, get on the plane."

Du Mu pulled Arthur and Mera onto the plane together.

The cabin interior remained largely unchanged; the seats were the same as before.

Du Mu said to the pilot, "Take off."

The pilot, still reeling from the shock of the helicopter's transformation, swallowed hard upon hearing the command, gripped the control stick with trembling hands, and steered the helicopter off the ground.

With the blessing of Hellfire, the helicopter's performance was comprehensively enhanced, allowing it to skim across the sea at an unbelievable speed, far exceeding the limits of ordinary helicopters.

Looking at the Hellfire-skinned helicopter, Arthur suddenly felt that his ability to talk to fish was rather mediocre.

He turned to Du Mu, his face full of anticipation: "Du Mu, is this magic too? Can I learn it?"

Du Mu glanced at him sideways, his expression full of disdain: "You, the mighty Sea King, can't even control water, yet you want to learn how to control fire?"

Arthur:

'

""

What nonsense about spouting the truth.

And who said he can't control water?

He can control the flow of water up and down every time he goes to the toilet.

Of course, left and right is a bit difficult, and you need to practice.

"etc!"

Mera suddenly stood up from her seat and said urgently, "Put me down quickly."

Arthur asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Mera was on the verge of tears: "I secretly ran out to warn you, I never intended to go with you to find the Holy Trident."

"Now that I am married to King Orm, if this is discovered, it will be considered an elopement, which, according to Atlantean law, is equivalent to treason and will result in being sacrificed to the Trench."

The Trench Clan were originally Atlanteans, but for some reason they mutated and became mindless monsters.

They are like the Parademons of the sea, extremely dangerous beings that even other underwater kingdoms dare not provoke. Therefore, sacrificing them to the Trench Clan is the most severe punishment, even more terrible than the death penalty.

Arthur's biological mother, Atlanna, was sacrificed to the Trench tribe for running away from an arranged marriage, which became a thorn in Arthur's side.

Mera was not prepared to betray her country.

She was completely bewildered by the series of events and followed them onto the helicopter in a daze, only now realizing what had happened.

Du Mu waved his hand: "It would be more dangerous for you to go back now. You've been out for so long, Om might have already found out you're missing. If they're waiting for you to come back and hold you accountable, wouldn't you be walking into a trap if you went back?"

"Besides, once we find the Holy Trident and Arthur ascends the throne, it will be a piece of cake for him to drop your charges."

"Du Mu is right."

Arthur quickly nodded in agreement.

If Mera goes back, they might have to call her "sister-in-law" the next time they meet.

Absolutely not!

"I....

'

Mera hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed.

"Alright, I hope the sacred trident you're talking about is real, so I won't have to be sacrificed to the Trench."

Anyway, she never intended to marry Om. If she really had to marry him, she would have escaped sooner or later, which would be no different from getting on this pirate ship now... no, this pirate machine.

Du Mu grinned: "Don't worry, I guarantee you won't even see the Trench Clan."

"In that case, let me see the location of the Holy Trident. I am more familiar with the underwater world than you are, so I might be able to help."

Mera quickly switched sides and perfectly assumed the role of one of her own.

Du Mu didn't hide anything and took out a world map again, marking the location: "It's right here. I've studied it, and it should be deep in the ocean."

When Mera saw the location, everything went black.

"This...this is the territory of the Trench Tribe!"

Du Mu:

Arthur:

The comments about Mera have been much more restrained, perhaps to avoid offending anyone's eyes; those who know, know.
