Chapter 828: Aquaman Arthur (Second Update)
Chapter 828: Aquaman Arthur (Second Update)
"Mr. Carmen, the Queen requests your presence!"
Jerry was standing on a natural viewing platform atop Paradise Island, enjoying the panoramic view of the entire island, when an Amazon warrior rode up on a warhorse to invite him.
Clearly, Diana had already explained everything to the Amazon Queen.
"Very well, thank you for the trouble."
Jerry thanked the approaching Amazon warrior, then vanished in a flash, reappearing at the entrance of the massive stone hall.
"Your Majesty!"
"Mr. Carmen, you are too kind."
The Amazon Queen, seeing Jerry's instant teleportation, knew her daughter had not been lying. This man indeed possessed the ability to retrieve the Mother Box directly.
This meant that his prediction of Darkseid's return was highly likely to come true.
"Diana has already informed me of everything. I believe your prophecy and am willing to entrust the Mother Box to you for safekeeping.
If the demons truly return, you may contact us in advance. The Amazons are ready to fight alongside you and repel the demons once more!"
Based on Diana's judgment, this Jerry Carmen, who was proficient in magic, was likely far more powerful than the war god Ares.
Leaving the Mother Box in his care would be safer than keeping it on Paradise Island.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."
Jerry smiled, then walked with Diana into the stone chamber and retrieved the second Mother Box.
In reality, he did not plan to call on the Amazons when dealing with Steppenwolf and Darkseid.
While each Amazon warrior possessed exceptional combat skills and physical strength far surpassing that of humans, their numbers were limited, and they still used primitive weapons like bows and arrows.
Frankly, enlisting the help of modern human armies would be more practical.
If the Amazons were to wage war against modern humans, a single country's modern military force would be enough to subdue all of them.
Of course, this does not apply to Wonder Woman. As a demigod capable of slaying gods, she is an existence that humans cannot oppose.
In terms of raw power, Superman is undoubtedly the strongest on Earth. However, if we consider who has the fewest weaknesses, Wonder Woman surpasses Superman.
While Superman is powerful, he has many vulnerabilities: kryptonite, magic, and the red sun of Krypton, not to mention his two human liabilities, his mother Martha and his love, Lois.
Wonder Woman, on the other hand, can hold her own against the resurrected Black Adam, though she is not quite as strong as him, the gap is not significant.
Moreover, as a demigod, she possesses divine power, making her immune to magic and virtually without weakness. Her lover died during World War I, and her mother and friends are all powerful and fearless Amazon warriors on Paradise Island, an island no one can find.
Batman can battle Superman and even use kryptonite to kill him, but if he were to face Wonder Woman, he would certainly not survive the encounter.
Of course, this is based on the current expanded universe. In other universes, some versions of Batman are so powerful that they can even slay gods with ease.
"Diana, the Queen didn't ask you to stay on the island?"
After securing the Mother Box, Jerry and Diana returned to Washington.
Diana sighed:
"Yes, but I refused. Compared to the Amazons, humanity needs me more!"
The Amazons were originally created by Zeus to inspire and assist humanity. As the daughter of Zeus and the Amazon Queen, helping humanity is both her mission and her belief.
"Notify me immediately if there's any issue with the Mother Box!"
"Sure, no problem."
Nodding, Jerry used Phantom Shift and left directly.
When Steppenwolf invades, he will definitely call Wonder Woman, not just her, but Superman, Aquaman, The Flash, and even Batman and Catwoman. He now feels that he can call on them as well.
These DC Universe protagonists all come with their own luck. Even if they do nothing, there might be some special, magical effect.
After all, Darkseid can destroy ten thousand universes, so the strength of his forces and his army is unimaginable.
In such a situation, if superheroes like Superman can join forces to achieve the final victory, it’s hard to believe that there is no favor from the highest creators.
Take Jerry, for example. If a character like Darkseid appears in the universe, always doing things to destroy it, how could he possibly ignore it?
If the superheroes can't match the raw power, they can help in other ways, such as by giving more luck.
Jerry believes that the countless superheroes in the Marvel and DC universes were specifically created by the higher-ups to balance and protect the development of the universe.
If he were to face Darkseid alone, Darkseid and his army might be able to use their full strength. But if he brings the Justice League and other superheroes, Darkseid and his army might only be able to use a fraction of their power.
It's like giving the enemy a super luck reduction buff.
This is one of the reasons he tries to avoid these superheroes. He is not originally from this universe, and if a real conflict arises, it wouldn't be easy to handle.
Batman, a mere human, can slay gods. If Jerry is affected, he might not die, but he could end up in a rather embarrassing situation.
"There's one more left."
After parting ways with Wonder Woman, Jerry didn't linger for long. Using the Owl Location Law, he quickly arrived at a remote seaside town far from the big cities, where Aquaman was located.
Pushing open the wooden door of the town's only tavern, he immediately saw Aquaman drinking heartily.
Aquaman was easy to recognize, the one with the strongest build and bare chest.
"Barkeep, bring me the best drink you have."
Walking over to sit beside Aquaman, Jerry flipped out a stack of cash and slapped it on the bar.
"Then, I'll buy everyone here a drink today!"
The seaside town was a very remote place, with most of the residents living off fishing. Few people ever visited such a remote and impoverished town.
As an outsider, Jerry immediately drew the attention of everyone in the bar as soon as he entered.
However, most of these gazes were not friendly, as the locals tended to be quite xenophobic.
But when Jerry slapped the stack of cash on the table and said he would buy everyone a drink, everyone's attitude toward him changed, including Aquaman.
In the human world, most things can be solved with money, and Jerry had more than enough of it.
"Generous stranger!"
Aquaman chuckled and had the jovial barkeep pour another large beer, then turned to thank Jerry, downing it in one go.
But as soon as he finished, the empty glass refilled itself.
"Arthur Curry, Prince of Atlantis, do you have a moment to chat?"
Jerry tipped back his hat, revealing his true face.
