The Death Knell

At the same time, Barry, Superman, and Mera's team arrived on the other side of the earth.

Sahara desert.

"It's around here." Mera pointed to a basin in front of her and said to Superman.

A long time ago, she had been with Arthur to the nearby ruins of ancient Atlantis, which was just a hundred kilometers away.

"Why is Aryan's tomb in the desert? Gollum."

Barry, who has turned half of his face into a fishman, raised the question, shouldn't all Atlanteans be underwater?

In fact, no, ancient Atlantis was not an underwater country, but it became that way after encountering aliens.

Various tombs or kingdom ruins from the past are now scattered here under the yellow sand.

"Arthur has asked this kind of question before, but I don't have time to answer it now." Mera was not in a good mood, and time was urgent.

Anyway, it’s just under the sand. If you have any questions, the God’s Number brought them here!

At this time, Superman tore off a small piece of cloth to wrap his blind eye, and he used the good one to see through the things under the sand dunes.

A huge temple, or ruins, is under the yellow sand.

"There's something down there, Barry."

Superman's superpowers have not been restored, and sewage is still flowing around his body. With the energy stored in his cells, he is now only slightly stronger than Mera.

In the past, one breath could blow away the desert in front of me, but not anymore.

Still have to rely on The Flash.

Barry looked around and determined a rough range. He also knew that only he could do it now.

Although the transformation into fishmen will inevitably speed up, there is no other way now.

"Give me a few seconds."

As he spoke, he told Superman and Mera to retreat while he began to run quickly around the target, triggering a tornado.

Like a giant vacuum cleaner, it sucks the sand directly into the troposphere.

He then stopped and appeared next to Superman to catch his breath.

"Barry, are you okay?" Superman noticed that the murloc area on Barry's face had expanded a lot.

Barry was exhausted and couldn't maintain his stasis well.

"I quite like being a human, so before I turn into a fish, let's go down and have a look."

What appeared in front of the three people was a canyon among cliffs, with jagged rocks and lifeless bodies.

The heavily weathered ancient ruins and the vaguely identifiable statues of Atlantis are still where they should have been.

Fortunately, this is the largest desert in the world. For a while, the sea water has not completely filled the underground world here. Moreover, there are still protective magic circles here, and the mausoleum is well preserved.

"Let's go down."

Mera was the most anxious. She used hard water to hold several of her people and descended from the cliff to the bottom of the valley.

This place has been buried deep underground for almost tens of thousands of years, but the bricks on the ground are all gold-plated and are shining now.

Atlantis was so powerful and rich back then, but now, the only building materials used in Poseidonis are coral and stone.

Barry found a dead tree from somewhere and made a simple torch. Both he and Mera needed lighting to see the things in the tomb.

But the fish-human half of his body had begun to faintly refuse to obey his control.

Barry felt the need to explain.

"Superman, if I completely turn into a fishman, kill me before then."

The Speed ​​Force is too dangerous. Superheroes who become fishmen can still use their abilities. That is simply the biggest bad news.

It doesn't matter about other speedsters, even Wally, although he runs slightly faster than Barry, the essence is different.

Wally is a person who uses the Speed ​​Force to accelerate and is a user of the Speed ​​Force.

But Barry, every time he takes a step, the Speed ​​Force is generated. He is the creator of the Speed ​​Force.

If he is completely controlled by the enemy, the consequences will be disastrous, and another Flashpoint incident will be a minor event.

There is no need for Luther to work hard, the universe will be destroyed and restarted immediately.

If Barry asked for anything else, Clark would do it for him, but killing...

"No, Barry, don't give up, there's still hope."

Superman looked embarrassed. He didn't dare to look at Barry's current face. The half-murloc face showed the severity of reality.

He chooses white lies to keep Barry going.

But using the Speed ​​Force or the Stasis Force is Barry's own power, and he is very clear about the condition of his body.

He was going to die.

And if Superman doesn't agree to this, he won't be able to feel at ease at all, otherwise they will all be the culprits of the destruction of the world.

Just when he was holding the torch and about to argue with Superman, Mera, who was walking in the front, suddenly spoke.

"No, this tomb has been opened, and someone came before us."

Superman looked at it. He couldn't see the inside of the building because of the protection of magic, but it was exactly what Mera said.

A gap was opened in the giant stone door that was seven or eight meters high, and a series of vague footprints seemed to be carved on the stone platform, extending into the tomb.

"This is impossible. I didn't see anyone. I just dug this place out of the ground."

Barry suddenly looked confused and forgot about asking Superman to kill him.

The puzzle before him now was beyond his comprehension.

This is a common problem among scientists. When they encounter something they don’t understand, they always want to study it.

"Let's go in quickly. It is said to be the most powerful weapon in Atlantis."

Mera hurriedly slipped in through the crack in the door. Even if the door was opened just a crack, it would be enough for three people to pass through side by side.

In the cold and dry tomb, the murals on the walls are relatively well preserved, and it can be seen that they record the history of Aryan.

But these histories are completely different from what Mera knows.

Aryan is not a hero, but he and Poseidon took the initiative to provoke the war.

When the alien Poseidons came to Earth with good intentions, the Earth's Aqua Tribe ambushed the Poseidons with a black liquid.

The liquid was given to Arrian by Poseidon, who then put it in a conch and blew it to the alien Poseidon.

The Poseidons did not die, but were imprisoned by Poseidon.

And Aryan was poisoned and died like a fool.

The murals faithfully recorded these, but in order to cover up the history, Poseidon flew Atlantis into pieces and was swallowed by a tsunami.

Most of the debris ended up under the sea, with some scattered debris falling into the desert.

Almost all the insiders died, and with the changes of history, Aryan's story has become several different versions of fairy tales.

But the real version is not to remind people to be in awe of the unknown sea, but to be careful of the betrayal of the gods.

Poseidon must have used divine power to control Aryan to make him do such a crazy thing.

Mera looked at the murals on the wall and the written records of ancient Atlantis, and was speechless for a long time.

As the princess of Zebel and later the queen, she had received a very complete royal education.

Yes, one of the countries after the split of Atlantis, the Exiled Land, X-Sea, Xebel.

Her ancestors were all sinners, and Zebel was a place of exile. It was impossible to find out what crimes they had committed, but there were always more and more sinners.

It even formed a country, had its own military power, and became equal to Poseidonis.

Zebel's sea area is very barren, supplies are scarce, and the people's customs are much tougher than Poseidonis.

But I still don’t participate in the fight for hegemony. How can I be the King of the Seven Seas if I can’t even eat enough?

While Arthur and Orm were vying for the throne, Mera's father, the previous King of Xebel, hedged his bets and managed to save the country virtually unscathed.

The other five countries were in harmony, but on the battlefield at that time, the Zelbel Death Squadron, the most powerful underwater combat force in the DC world, did not appear at all.

Arthur's army is basically from the hardcore ally - Idilist.

Only two seahorses, some sea creatures, and Mera and her father emerged from the entire Zebel, standing on Arthur's side.

You said you didn't do anything, right? That's not true. How much power did you use? Not much actually.

In fact, Mera's sister, the current Queen Zebel, Siren, is on Orm's side...

Otherwise, how can we call it hedging? Old King Zebel is so shrewd. No matter who comes to power, Arthur or Orm, he will still be the father-in-law of Neptune...

But later Orm was defeated and imprisoned, and the matter between him and the Siren ended. Mera married Arthur and became the queen of the sea, and then handed over the rule of Xabel to the Siren.

But Siren was envious and jealous of her sister. She should have been the one to marry Arthur, so after becoming the queen, she immediately declared Mera to be Xabel's traitor and wanted throughout the country.

‘Mera drank fine wine and delicacies in Poseidonius every day, leaving Zebel’s people to drink from the northwest current to satisfy their hunger! ’, this kind of statement is very popular in Zebel.

Now Mera has a home and cannot return. The Zebel people hate her, and the laws of Atlantis prohibit aiding Zebel sinners. What can be done?

No one wants to argue with the Atlantis magistrate about the rationality of the law. The old man will drown any debater with his endless chatter.

However, the words and glory of ancient Atlantis still remain in the hearts of these sinners, and Mera can understand these words.

It simply subverts the three concepts.

If great heroes are not heroes, then are sinners like Zebel not actually sinners?

It’s almost a guess, their ancestors’ crime was ‘probably disobeying Poseidon’...

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

In fact, there is no need for Mera to explain. Barry and Superman are not stupid at all. Although they can't understand the text on the mural, who can't understand a comic strip?

It turns out that Poseidon is the root of everything, and it was he who laid the foundation for today's earth.

Superman now understands why Diana looked disgusted when mentioning Olympus in the past, and said that they were more evil and disgusting than any villain.

This plan of calling all the water tribes in the universe for a meeting and then poisoning them is too dark.

Superman instinctively hates this kind of conspiracy, and naturally has no good impression of the people who implement the conspiracy. Perhaps he used to hold the view of freedom of belief and supported anyone to believe in Olympus or other gods.

But when gods threaten the earth and even the universe, Superman still has to stand on the side of humanity.

As for Olympus, forget it. If Batman arranges for Diana to deal with troubles in Olympus in the future, Clark decides to stand on Diana's side and speak for her.

If everyone has a future...
