Become Aquaman from Black Robe

Chapter 230 Declaration of War

The place where Supergirl Kara is imprisoned is in Russia, near the North Pole.

From Gotham to Russia, if there is no suitable transportation, it would be somewhat difficult to go to the icy and snowy North Pole relying on Kevin and Mera.

But that's not really a big deal.

Before leaving, Kevin arranged a legal identity for the two of them through Batman's hacking system, and 'borrowed' some money from Batman to pay for their journey.

I'm sure Bruce wouldn't mind losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in his bank.

Leaving Gotham City, Kevin's initial plan was to fly to Russia, and then find a way to get to the secret base mentioned in the files when he got there.

After formulating the plan, Kevin spent a day preparing visas for the two of them, bought air tickets, and then waited in a fast food restaurant near the airport for the plane to Russia to take off.

After two or three days of traveling on land, Mera finally had some time off and ate fast food in the human world for the first time.

"...This thing called...a burger, is it meat? What kind of meat is this?"

"Beef, you probably haven't eaten it before."

"I've eaten raw..."

Mera stared at the burger in front of her, not knowing what to say. She tried to take it apart and disintegrate it, but Kevin quickly stopped her:

“That’s not how burgers are eaten.”

Kevin said, picked up the burger and put it directly into his mouth: "See? Just eat it directly, there is no need to cut it into pieces."

"...What is the red thing here?"

“You mean ketchup or tomatoes?”

"tomato?"

"A kind of fruit, I said you Atlanteans don't eat fruits?"

"I can eat it too, but the fruit doesn't look like this."

Mera said hesitantly, looking at the burger.

Because Atlantis is located in the deep sea, very little land food can be sent there. Once it gets there, most of the land food will be crushed by the pressure of the sea water and will not be preserved for long.

Most of the fruits that can be eaten in the deep sea are very hard and require special treatment before they can be eaten.

And even so, many of them can only be enjoyed by nobles.

Because only the water magic mastered by the nobles can open up a vacuum area under the water to enjoy delicacies from the land or other places.

Although Mera is a princess, under the education of King Zebel, Mera has developed the habit of not being extravagant and wasteful. She rarely enjoys delicious food like other nobles.

To her, food is just something that can meet her body's needs and sustain her life.

This is also the consensus of most underwater people.

Before, Kevin led Mera. Because he was in a hurry, he spent most of his time eating fast food products on trains or planes, such as bread and milk.

The taste of those things was not very good. Although Mera thought it was delicious, she was just sighing that people on land would enjoy it.

But now that she can eat fast food in person, Mera has truly opened the door to a new world.

"!!"

The burger from the human world is eaten into the mouth, with the sweetness of the bread, the saltiness of the beef, the sourness of the tomatoes, and the mixture of special seasonings from the human world.

All the flavors exploded in Mera's mouth, giving her a sense of enjoyment that went straight to her soul when she had only been eating monotonous food.

At that moment, Mera's expression became very dazed, as if what she just ate was not a burger, but some kind of food bomb.

"Why...why is this thing so delicious?!"

"Do you think fast food is delicious? When you eat Chinese, French and Turkish food, you will understand the meaning of 'gourmet food'."

Kevin said with a smile.

Fast food such as hamburgers are just foods created by humans to quickly satisfy their appetites.

Although it cannot be said to be unpalatable and the taste is very good, compared with the main meal, the taste is still a bit inferior.

Now Mera just ate a burger and looked like she was about to lose her soul.

If she were allowed to taste all the delicacies from the three major gourmet countries in the world, she might never want to go back to the bottom of the sea in her life.

"The land people... are really... incredible... when it comes to eating."

Mera, whose mouth was red, was talking vaguely while eating.

Kevin just looked at her with a smile, then handed the Coke to Mera and said with a wicked smile:

"A hamburger with a Coke is the most enjoyable thing in the world."

"Coke? Wine?"

Mera picked up the Coke doubtfully, looking at the liquid full of bubbles inside, frowning deeply.

She first took a small mouth and stretched out her tongue to lick tentatively like a hamster. She felt the bubbles exploding in her mouth, and her brows furrowed deeper.

For a moment, Mera suspected that Kevin was up to no good.

But after seeing Kevin drinking the entire iced Coke with a look of enjoyment on his face, Mera could also understand that this suspicious bubbling liquid might actually be some amazing drink.

At that moment, he imitated Kevin and drank it all in one gulp.

Then……

“Cough cough cough—!”

Of course I choked on Coke.

"Hahahahaha!"

Seeing Mera's embarrassed look, Kevin couldn't help laughing.

Mera took a tissue to wipe her mouth and glared at Kevin fiercely. Just when she was about to say something, she heard Kevin say:

"How about it? Although it tastes a bit weird, it tastes pretty good, right?"

"This wine is so weird, it seems like it exploded in my mouth... in my mouth..."

"This is not wine, this is coke."

"A drink named 'Coke'?"

"...Forget it, you can think whatever you want."

Kevin said to Mera with a smile, and then ordered two more iced Cokes over, holding the Cokes and looking at the TV aside.

Originally he only watched TV to pass the boring time, but when he saw the content on the TV, Kevin's smile suddenly faded and became solemn.

When she noticed Kevin's expression, Mera couldn't help but look at the TV, and then her expression became the same as Kevin's.

Even more shocked.

There was a news break on the TV.

The news said that a tsunami broke out off the coast of San Francisco, causing countless casualties. An underwater kingdom claiming to be Atlantis came to the stage and warned the human government to hand over Mera, the princess of Zebel, as soon as possible.

Otherwise they will set off tsunamis in coastal cities every once in a while.

When he heard the news, Kevin was immediately stunned.

Even Mera turned her head and stared at the TV in a daze for a long time.

None of them thought that Arthur would actually dare to declare war on the human world.

"Oops, Arthur, he's really angry."

Mera, who learned about what was happening in the outside world through the news, couldn't help but murmur to herself while looking at the TV report and the photo with her image next to it.

"How did he know you were on land?"

Compared with Mera, Kevin is more surprised about this matter.

It's different now than in the movie. Mera has Arthur's help on land, and she also has a positioning device on her body. It's understandable that Mera can be found in the underwater kingdom.

But now in the eyes of others, Mera suddenly activated water magic and took the opportunity to escape. She had no helpers, had never been to land, and had no positioning device on her body. Otherwise, they would not have been able to live so peacefully these days.

So why does Arthur think Mera is on land?

"The bottom of the sea is Arthur's territory. Since he can't be found anywhere on the bottom of the sea, I can only go to land."

Mera explained.

Although the seabed is vast, the area where Atlanteans can move is limited.

Arthur only needs to conduct a blanket search in the areas where people on the seabed often move, and he can know whether Mera remains on the seabed.

Kevin frowned:

"Even so, Atlantis should not rule all the kingdoms under the sea now. How dare Arthur do this?"

If Atlantis had not united all the existing countries on the seabed and declared war on the human world, it would have been stolen.

In particular, the most violent Saltwater Kingdom is likely to launch a war against Atlantis during the war between Atlantis and the human kingdom.

At that time, Atlantis will be fighting on two fronts!

Kevin doesn't think Arthur is such a foolhardy person.

"What if...Arthur has already ruled all the kingdoms under the sea?"

Mera proposed the idea.

Three days have passed since she left the water and came to the ground.

Three days is not a long time, but it is enough for Arthur to do a lot of things.

Moreover, after Mera took the initiative to guard the Mother Box, she no longer paid attention to the politics between Atlantis and other countries, and had no idea what Arthur had done.

Perhaps she had already made preparations, so she approached the Kingdom of Xebel to formally propose an engagement to Princess Mera.

It's just that Mera doesn't know it.

If that's the case, then it would be a bad thing for Mera to come to land without permission.

Because she gave Arthur an excuse to attack the land.

Mera was lost in thought while watching the TV, while Kevin looked at the skill tree after a moment of silence.

Seeing the sudden increase in skill points in the skill tree, Kevin was convinced that he was the cause of Arthur's war on the ground this time.

It was him who took Mera away that caused Arthur to attack the land so long in advance.

In the movie, Arthur, the king of the sea, did not attack land. There are many reasons for this. It may be because he was married to Mera, and under Mera's advice, he decided to play it safe for a while.

It may also be because he had just taken charge of the Seven Seas and had to deal with internal affairs and did not have time to launch an attack on land.

But it must have something to do with Mera anyway.

Kevin took Mera away, triggering a butterfly effect, causing the Kingdom of Atlantis to attack human coastal cities. Strictly speaking, this was Kevin's fault.

"It looks like the plan is going to change..."

When he realized that his arrival had completely changed the world of Flashpoint, Kevin no longer planned to follow the original plan slowly.

Yes, even without Kevin, humans in this world would probably die from Zod's invasion, or from Arthur's war on land in the future.

But Kevin's early intervention caused the deaths of many people who shouldn't have died at this time, which was somewhat unacceptable to Kevin.

So before going to save Supergirl, Kevin needs to get the trident in his hand first.

Kevin decided to change his plans.

Mera also decided to change her plans.

She stared at the disaster scene broadcast on TV, stood up and said to Kevin:

"Sorry, I may not be able to find the trident with you."

"Are you planning to go back now?"

"The person Arthur is looking for is me. He probably thought I was just hiding on land and didn't know you existed, so as long as I go back, he should..."

"Stupid, you should know very well that you are just an excuse for him to declare war on the human world. Even if you go back, nothing will be changed."

"..."

How could Mera not understand what Kevin said.

It's just that she really doesn't want to see a war between the human world and the Atlantean world.

War is a very cruel thing, and many, many people will die, whether they are humans or Atlanteans.

Even if the war develops to an irreversible point, even the top leaders of both sides will not be spared.

Although Mera's father, King Zebel, Neros, is said to be a king, with Arthur's character, Mera's father may not be allowed to be a vanguard general one day in the future.

If something happens to Neros then... Mera will never forgive herself no matter what.

"...I should go back."

In the end, Mera made plans to go back.

Kevin squinted at her for a while and said:

"You can go back, but you have to at least take me to the Trench Country. I don't know the way."

In fact, whether Mera comes back or not has nothing to do with Kevin.

Although the two have been together for two or three days, they are still wary of each other and have never trusted each other.

But perhaps in order to prevent Kevin from abandoning her, Mera never told Kevin the specific address of the Trench Country.

Without a specific address, it would be impossible for Kevin to conduct a blanket search in the sea.

Using this stupid method, even with the help of marine life, by the time the address of the trench country is found, the day lily may be cold.
