The Death Knell

"When Mera put on the crown, I thought I would have more time...to do more meaningful things with Justice League."

Arthur walked on the deck of the ship. This thing was frozen hard, and there were many corpses directly frozen in the ice.

The confused expressions remained on their faces.

He didn't find anything. Everything around here was white, except for ice and snow, it was just hoarfrost and the breath of the three people: "But now the origin wall is broken, our universe has entered a countdown, and the waters are becoming dark."

At this time, Diana made a discovery: "Look here, Arthur, the foremast used to fix the jib at the bow of the ship. It looks like wood, but it is actually a metal native to the Amazon. It was used to make shields to deceive the enemy. of."

Arthur came closer. Under the cover of frost, he couldn't tell the difference between wood and metal.

But Diana said yes, so be it.

He signaled the two of them to step back, then raised his trident high and struck it hard on the mast like a club.

The frozen metal deformed and flew out, revealing a large hidden compartment underneath, with a golden scepter placed inside.

It has complex patterns on it, and it looks like countless branches of a tree linked together to form an angular polygon.

"This...should be the key to the Tomb of the Gods?"

Diana stared blankly in the other direction, at the entrance of the cave where they entered.

"I don't know what you have in your hand, but in front of me, there is something very ugly."

When Neptune heard this, he turned his head and saw a strange creature with a bluish-looking skin, a body like an octopus but with spider-like compound eyes, and a mouth with multiple layers of sharp teeth like a starfish.

It is so big that it can swallow an aircraft carrier.

Now this monster seemed to emerge from under the ice. It rolled up Arrian's ship with its liquid tentacles, as if it was trying to drag it into its mouth.

"What the hell is this?!" Firestorm flew up, he didn't want to be eaten by this monster.

And Diana also dragged Arthur to jump off the ship. There was no need for them to die for a historical artifact.

"Does this look like some kind of sea monster?"

Arthur held his trident tightly, and he had a say in this: "It looks like it is made of liquid, but I don't know where else on earth except Gotham, the sea water is green and purple."

"Uh, so this is a space monster?"

Firestorm flew up, intending to get closer to explore the reality. If it was an inanimate thing, maybe he could change the material composition of the opponent.

For example, turning sea monsters into stone or ice and snow.

However, Batman's voice came from the headphones at this time. He obtained readings through the satellite and the monitor on Firestorm's body. This thing is not that simple.

"Leave quickly!"

"Varied......"

Firestorm was stunned for a moment. He didn't have enough fighting experience, so he was stunned for the first time. Then he was hit by the sea monster's spit and fell into a pit on the side.

Arthur immediately chose to rescue people. Even if he had to retreat, he would take his own people with him.

But Batman's orders are exactly the opposite.

"Stay away from him, Arthur."

"Gods above! You said stay away?" Arthur held the trident in one hand, and quickly ran over and grabbed Firestorm's shoulder with the other hand, intending to pull him back from the edge of the pit.

Batman was fed up with his insubordination: "Damn, listen. Don't come into contact with that alien fluid, he'll turn you into..."

Firestorm turned around, and he no longer looked human at all. Instead, he had many characteristics of fish and tentacles, plus a set of sharp teeth.

He opened his mouth to speak unintelligible words, and Arthur's eyes widened.

He let go of his hand and took a few steps back: "Batman, Firestorm was transformed into some kind of aquatic monster."

"Don't let it catch you!" Batman warned again.

However, it was too late. While Arthur was speaking, a huge tentacle made of liquid suddenly appeared behind him and wrapped him up.

"Ah! I order you to let go, you monster." The huge force made Arthur scream, and he felt that his internal organs were about to be squeezed out: "Why don't you listen to my order?!"

Diana drew her weapon and rushed towards the monster, intending to cut off the liquid tentacles and save Arthur.

But everything in front of me changed, and the space became unstable.

"Diana, what happened?"

Batman could only hear screams from Arthur, and he turned to Diana to ask.

Diana still fought calmly, but the monster's speed was too fast. It rolled Arthur and stuffed it into her mouth.

"The monster grabbed Aquaman, and its mouth... was gathering energy, and it opened a cosmic passage! Like a vortex!"

Then, as the water splashed, Arthur who was rolled up, Diana who chased into the monster's mouth, and the huge monster all disappeared in place.

"Wonder Woman? Aquaman? Talk back!"

Batman's call went unanswered.

....................................................

After an unknown amount of time, Arthur woke up from the darkness. He felt the dazzling sunlight, as if he was lying on the seabed near the sea.

He rolled over and sat up.

"Batman? Wonder Woman? Is anyone there? Where am I?"

He found that his equipment was missing, and there were some strange symbols on his body, like tattoos, blocking the power in his blood.

And when he was stunned, three black figures appeared in front of him, three giant seahorses carrying people.

These seahorses are different from those on Earth. Their bodies are mottled like sunken ships, as if corals have grown on them.

And the man on horseback answered his question.

"You are on the Blood Reef. The King of the Seven Seas of Earth welcomes you."

A female voice answered him. The English was not very standard, but he could understand it.

"who are you?"

Arthur asked.

Three figures turned over and dismounted. They were three strange-looking people.

One is a bald man with a black beard. His right arm looks like an octopus tentacle, and there are traces of coral on his body, like the remains of someone who was drowned in the water.

One is an old man with a skeleton-like face and a long white beard. His eyes are red, and a complete shark jawbone hangs around his neck, with all the fangs on it, like an old-fashioned bear trap.

The last person was a brown-skinned, purple-haired woman wearing a skirt and armor with bright runes on it.

Blackbeard answered his question: "We are the Big Three of Poseidon, and I am Captain Lonely."

The old man continued: "I am the commander of Zhenhai, just like Poseidon is the god of the sea on the earth..."

The woman finally added: "We are the Poseidon of other galaxies, and I am Admiral of the Furious Waves."

She seemed to never finish talking, and while talking, she walked towards Arthur, as if she was going to help him up.

"We came from the distant stars, bringing with us the few remaining races in the universe. Just like the last time we came here, we came to answer the call of the beacon..."

Behind the surrounding rocks and corals, many strange-looking sea tribes appeared. Their bodies seemed to have mutated, with unreasonable twists and deformations.

They were crowding around Arthur, buzzing with murmurs.

What beacon? What call?

Arthur was confused, Batman didn't say that...

The goddess Poseidon saw his confusion and explained thoughtfully: "At that time, your great hero Arian blew the horn on the earth thousands of years ago, calling us to come to the earth and form an alliance... ..”

When Arthur heard that he was one of his own, he smiled.

Now the multiverse is in the countdown to life, and alien allies have just arrived. Although we don't know what the beacon is about, isn't this a good thing?

"Then I welcome you to Earth, all of you. I heard that if it weren't for you, Earth would have been destroyed by invaders in ancient times, and in this situation, an alliance would be very helpful."

And the lonely captain with black beard suddenly grabbed him with his octopus tentacles, strangled his neck and came close to his face. Arthur seemed to be able to smell the fishy smell in his mouth.

"An alliance? Sea King." Captain Lonely made a disdainful whisper. He threw Arthur out with all his strength, and saw him rolling far away on the rocks like a ball.

Arthur coughed and climbed up. Although his strength was gone, fortunately, he was still rough-skinned and thick-flesh. This was enough to kill an ordinary person, but it was only a minor injury to him.

"I don't understand. If you answered Arian's call and helped us fight against the invaders..."

“Quack, quack, quack!!!!”

The surrounding alien sea tribes all let out weird laughter. Their voices kept echoing among the rocks and corals, but there was no smile on their faces.

The white-bearded Commander Zhenhai told the answer. He looked at the struggling Arthur coldly: "Because we are the invaders, the King of the Seven Seas..."

"As we speak, an interstellar fleet has arrived on Earth. They will form a cosmic blockade to ensure that no one can discover or rescue your world."

Admiral Nu Tao crossed his hands and continued.

The lonely captain with black beard also smiled strangely and added: "At the same time, no one can escape the destined fate."

"No! Listen to me, the universe is in danger, and the earth is the only safe sea area. That beacon..."

Poseidon interrupted Arthur's words, and they all lost patience: "There is a saying in my former galaxy, the fool waits for the tide to bring food at the beach, and all he waits for is drowning!"

The female Poseidon showed a cruel smile: "You can watch us submerge your planet on the blood reef deep in the universe... Zhenhai, let the floods engulf the earth!"

Commander Zhenhai raised his hands, and the huge sea monster he had seen appeared behind him. Endless purple water came out of its mouth, and poured directly into the earth through the space gate.

"My pleasure, Furious Waves." He smiled too, full of the pleasure of revenge.

"No!!!"

Arthur watched in despair as the mutated seawater was poured into the earth, but he could only scream but was unable to do anything.
