The Death Knell

The air in the tomb is filled with the smell of decay, and a sense of loneliness arises after all life has been swept away by the yellow sand. The broken walls around it illustrate that time will take away everything and leave nothing behind. Stay again.

Mera looked at the god's horn in her hand, it no longer glowed.

She didn't know what else she could find here, a truth? Or is it a weapon that can also poison yourself?

Once buried under the yellow sand for tens of thousands of years, the overall structure of the mausoleum was still intact, but when someone entered here ahead of them, everything became uncertain.

Barry rubbed half of his face that had turned into a fish. He didn't know what to say.

Seeing Mera's face changing constantly, she was confused at first, then flushed, and then turned pale again.

This feeling was like breaking into someone else's secret, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

He is not a believer in any god, and even the word God is rarely mentioned on his lips. In the past, if he had the energy to say those two words, he might as well run a few steps quickly.

But now, there is a deep and almost endless corridor in front of him, and the torch in his hand can only provide weak illumination, which is flickering and seems to be extinguished at any time.

This reminded him of his current situation.

Isn’t it too late to call on God’s name?

Mera pursed her lips, remained silent for a while, and continued walking deeper into the tomb.

Whether it is the truth or not is no longer important. Now that it has reached this point, even if it was the Earth that made the mistake, it cannot admit defeat.

What else to do? Let yourself turn into a fish?

Only by finding the weapon in Arian's hand, the Tears of Death, can we defeat the alien Poseidon once again and eradicate their roots.

The only one to blame is Poseidon, but that god is dead, so what else can be done?

As an earth creature angered by the alien sea god, there is only one way to resist.

Superman has a similar idea. You were tricked by the Earth's sea tribe tens of thousands of years ago, and now you're here. That's fine.

Asking for some compensation, an apology, or material compensation is fine, but invasion? Then there's nothing to talk about.

Especially when the earth is flooded and humans are turned into fish, who should compensate for this loss?

So Clark, who was born on Krypton but grew up in Kansas on Earth, has already classified these alien Poseidon as enemies.

In fact, it is not that the alien Poseidons did not negotiate with the people on earth, but it was Luther who contacted them first. With the bald head's verbal skills at full use, these Poseidons directly regarded the Legion of Destruction as representatives of mankind and their allies.

Luther claimed to be the God of Men and told them that he was deeply sympathetic to the plight of the Poseidon. He said that he was also tired of Poseidon.

In this way, there are approximately 7 to 8 billion intelligent creatures on the earth. You can kill them as you like until you are happy or relieved. Can you just let this matter be over?

And he will give up all the earth's oceans so that the alien sea gods can have a new home.

He promised to help the Poseidon save people, and then found half of the Tears of Death, and killed Poseidon first to express his feelings.

But he also needs some help. We all benefit from each other, and we will all be good friends from now on.

Upon hearing this, the three Poseidons felt that this condition... was quite sincere.

And this hairless god happens to have a plan that sounds very feasible.

So, what happened before happened.

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

"Look quickly, the door to the main tomb."

Barry raised the torch so that Mera could see the end of the passage ahead.

It was also a stone door, but the gilding on it had almost completely peeled off, leaving only mottled stone wall reliefs.

It is a statue of Arrian. He is holding a torch in one hand and a divine trumpet in the other, standing on the bow of a ship and looking into the distance.

The sea breeze lifted his hair and cloak, and he looked full of hope and longing for the future.

But Mera only found it a bit ironic that the explorer's ending was not what the sculpture said.

Arian is not the only person who has been deceived by the gods, and there will still be no shortage of newcomers in the future.

But Mera hasn't noticed yet. Now that the gods have become mortals, the Upside Down will not recognize the individual sorcerer Hecate appointed as the god who manages the earth.

Neither Mera nor Barry could do anything about such a large stone door. They had to rely on Superman, whose strength had greatly weakened, to find a way to slowly open it.

Superman felt it was hard. Under the current circumstances, pushing open a door felt like pushing the moon in the past.

But as the fine sand and dust continued to fall, and accompanied by the sound of 'kaka kaka', the door was still opened.

But in the tomb, Arrian's bones were scattered on the throne like garbage, and all his clothes had been turned over, obviously having been searched.

"Damn, something's gone."

If the information on the mural is correct, then Aryan, who blew the conch with his mouth, died of poisoning, and the tears of death should have gathered in his skull.

But now the skull is gone.

At this moment, a dull voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Honey, is this what you're looking for?"

The three of them looked back, but they could only see two big red dots in the darkness, but that was enough. The unique eye shape was enough for others to recognize.

"Black Manta!"

Without saying a word, Mera roared and waved the hard water sword in her hand to slash at the enemy. It was this guy, the old enemy of Atlantis.

But Barry was faster. He stopped Mera and pulled her back to retreat quickly.

When the two of them stood still, they saw that the road where Mera had charged was completely covered by purple sea water.

A trap, but Barry managed to pull Mae back from the trap.

From behind Black Manta, Zhenhai and the shrunken Flood walked out.

The monster made of liquid followed its owner like a large pet, spitting out a large amount of seawater that could mutagenize creatures.

If Mera had just taken one more step, she would have turned into a fish right now.

Black Manta made a tut-tsk sound. He seemed a little disappointed. Across the barrier formed by the purple water, he raised a skull glowing with black light in his hand.

"I got there first. You are too stupid. As long as we find the coordinates, the Flood's teleportation ability will directly send us into the main tomb. Now there is nothing left for you here, only death! And the ocean should also change its rule. That’s it…”

"Don't even think about it! You will only be a crazy dictator!" Mera couldn't kill the enemy and could only curse angrily.

"Wrong! You are the dictators! You force humans to fear the ocean, but that's enough now. My new friends and I will change everything. Soon, I will be the new King of the Seven Seas. As for you and your My friends, it’s time to eat my new shit!”

Zhenhai nodded in agreement, he was very happy that this method was completely in line with the habits of the new Poseidon.

"That's right, New Sea King, now what are you going to do with this garbage?"

"Of course they will drown, Commander Zhenhai... all of them will drown!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha......."

Commander Zhenhai was very satisfied. He raised his hands and pressed the collar around his neck. The Flood Demon behind him suddenly expanded in size countless times and broke through the roof.

In the distance, purple seawater surged towards this side like a tsunami, pouring into the tomb in the canyon.

Of course, the Flood also sent an army of murlocs from Earth. They were all former heroes, but now they are strange and ancient murlocs. They are perfect cannon fodder.

Because Superman and the others couldn't kill them, they could only be beaten passively.

The situation soon turned bad. After Barry's reminder, they retreated to the main door of the tomb, which was relatively narrow and could be used to hold on.

But they won't last long. Now they rely on Mera's hard water barrier to defend against the purple water outside, and Superman doesn't have much strength left.

Those who besieged them were all former Earth heroes, including not only the fish-man-turned-Zatanna, Firestorm, Adam Strange, but also a large number of familiar or unfamiliar heroes.

If Barry's Speed ​​Force hadn't been able to use him as hundreds of people, they would have died long ago, but this behavior also made Barry's transformation into a fishman much faster.

Black Manta and Zhenhai both folded their arms and watched from the outside of the battle group. Judging from the shaking of their shoulders, they must be laughing.

Mera was looking left and right, looking for the last glimmer of hope while supporting the barrier.

Black Manta held Arian's head, which was filled with tears of death. It was not as if he blew out the tears of death from the conch, but rather as if he drank all the tears of death.

If the guess is correct, then...

Sure enough, Aryan was indeed a hero. He resisted Poseidon, although it was too late.

Maybe he woke up after he blew out some poisonous water and saw the surprised eyes of the alien sea gods, but Poseidon's control was too powerful, and he could only choose to drink all the Tears of Destruction in one gulp.

He succeeded, and the Poseidons were not poisoned and survived to be imprisoned by Poseidon.

But Arrian died, dying in his rebellion against Poseidon.

But this resistance gave Mera a chance.

On Arian's spine, Mera felt some different waves flowing. The liquid with black lines was emerging from the joints of Arian's spine that was soaked in purple water.

The Tears of Death are indeed most present in the skull, but they are also found in Arian's neck and upper chest spine.

After the body decomposes, the venom naturally attaches itself to the nearest bone.

Although Aryan died instantly when he drank it, he swallowed a little.

Mae La stretched out her hard water sword and inserted it into the gap between the spine of the remains. In the blink of an eye, the hard water blade, which was originally just light blue and translucent, turned into a color as dark as ink.

A kind of silence and cold breath rushed straight to the bottom of her heart.

She knew that the weapon was in hand, and the key was that the mural outside reminded her, thanks to Zebel's literary education.

"No! Manta! You told me those tears were taken!" Zhenhai saw Mera's movements and the weapon in Mera's hand.

Zhenhai suddenly felt bad. Since the opponent had speedsters and weapons capable of killing gods, the battle should not continue.

Seeing that black color, Commander Zhenhai seemed to feel the pain of thousands of years ago, and he couldn't compete with it.

Black Manta shrugged, who knew there was still something in Arian's spine, besides, Luther's plan was not like this...

Mera looked at Barry, and Barry thought for a moment before putting his hand on Mera's shoulder. Golden lightning spread all over her body instantly, and the entire tomb became bright.
