Chapter 829: Sea Parting Spell (First Update)
Chapter 829: Sea Parting Spell (First Update)
"You are... I know you!"
Arthur first stared at Jerry in surprise, then immediately recognized him as the Magic Mr. who had been featured in the news recently.
Although the coastal town was remote and poor, they still had televisions.
"What do you want to talk about?"
Arthur finished the beer in his cup.
"Just about whether you're interested in becoming the king of Atlantis."
With a snap of Jerry's fingers, the cup was refilled with beer.
This time, Arthur didn't drink. Instead, he stood up, put on his jacket, and turned to walk out of the bar.
"Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about, and don't disturb my peaceful life."
Seeing Arthur stand up, Jerry showed no surprise. He calmly said, "Your mother, Queen Atlanna, is not dead. I know where she is now."
"What did you say!"
Arthur quickly turned and rushed towards Jerry, intending to grab him and pin him against the wall. However, before he could touch Jerry's clothes, Jerry had already vanished and reappeared on the chair behind him.
"Don't get so worked up. I know your mother was sacrificed to the Trench by Atlantis for giving birth to you. However, she wasn't killed by the Trench. Instead, she is trapped in a hidden place.
If you are willing to become the king of Atlantis, I can take you to rescue her."
Jerry took a gentle sip of the best wine in the bar, then frowned slightly and placed it on the table. He then gestured for Arthur to sit down and continue the conversation.
Seeing that Jerry didn't seem to be lying and that he couldn't touch him, Arthur thought for a moment and finally sat down again.
"Why do you want me to become the king of Atlantis? And how can I trust that you're telling the truth?"
"This is a long story, and it starts with an ancient battle."
So, Jerry repeated the story he had told Wonder Woman to Arthur.
After listening to Jerry's account, Arthur's eyes showed a look of incomprehension.
"So, you want me to be the king of Atlantis to get the Mother Box. But with your abilities, whether you go to King Orm or take it yourself, it doesn't seem that difficult, does it?"
Although he wasn't particularly smart, Arthur still felt that Jerry's explanation was too far-fetched.
Jerry waved his hand.
"First, I have the ability to teleport and steal the Mother Box or take it by force, but that doesn't align with my principles.
Second, your brother, King Orm, intends to rule the seven kingdoms and launch a war to exterminate humanity. I won't negotiate with someone like that.
Third, you don't need to doubt anything. I will first take you to find your mother, then help you obtain the Golden Trident, the symbol of the ruler of the seven seas. Once you become the king of Atlantis, you can give me the Mother Box."
Supporting Arthur to become the king of Atlantis serves two purposes: to peacefully retrieve the last Mother Box and to thwart King Orm's ambition to unify the seven seas and attack humanity.
If the sea people of the seven seas were to go to war with humans, countless lives would be lost. Preventing this war, though not as significant as Zod's transformation of Earth, would still earn a substantial number of red stars.
"Since that's the case, I agree!"
Hearing that Jerry would take him to find his mother, Arthur agreed without hesitation.
For him, nothing else mattered. Finding his mother and making his father, who waits by the sea every day for her to return, happy was the most important thing.
Forget about vying for the throne of Atlantis, even destroying Atlantis would be worth it to him.
"Very well, let's set off now!"
Jerry stood up, grabbed Arthur's arm, and vanished from the tavern with a Phantom Shift.
In the skies above the waters near Sicily, Jerry and Arthur reappeared out of thin air.
"Where are we? And I can't fly, can we go down first?"
"This is the territory of the Trench, where your mother was sacrificed."
Jerry conjured a flying carpet and placed Arthur on it.
Ever since the collapse of the Atlantis continent, the entire civilization split into seven, forming the seven great underwater kingdoms.
The Atlantis Kingdom and the Zebel Kingdom still retain human appearances and have evolved new abilities. Their technological advancements, utilizing marine resources, are as advanced as they were before the collapse.
The Fisherman Kingdom, while technologically advanced, has lost its human form. Its people have fish tails instead of legs and faces that resemble those of fish.
The Salty Water Kingdom has regressed into a type of crustacean in the ocean, with lagging technology and military power. Their wars are fought through brute force.
The Trench, once a kingdom, has devolved into mindless, bloodthirsty, cruel, and terrifying monsters.
If you violate the laws of the ocean nations and are sentenced to death, you will be sent to the Trench's territory to be sacrificed, where the Trench will tear you apart and consume you alive.
The Traitor Kingdom originally lived in the inland sea before the Sahara Desert formed. When the sea turned into desert, this kingdom vanished into the sands.
The Lost Kingdom is a kingdom that no one knows where it went after the continent's collapse.
"So, my mother is down there!"
Arthur was about to jump off the flying carpet but was pulled back up by Jerry.
"There are countless Trench below. If you go down like that, you'll be reduced to bones in no time."
"What should we do then?"
Calm down, Arthur knew Jerry was right.
"Don't move. Just sit on the carpet, and I'll take you to your mother."
Jerry piloted the carpet toward the sea, silently invoking the name of Arthur's mother and using the Owl Locating Law.
"Be gone!"
As they approached the water's surface, he pointed down, and a blue magical beam as thick as a barrel struck the sea.
Instantly, the entire ocean seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, splitting in two to create a passage to the seabed for Jerry.
This was the Water Parting Spell, or more appropriately, the Sea Parting Spell, which Jerry hadn't used in a long time.
On both sides of the passage, countless hideous Trench were roaring, eager to devour Jerry and Arthur.
Unfortunately, the powerful force not only split the sea but also prevented the Trench from getting close to Jerry and Arthur.
The flying carpet descended rapidly, and Arthur, watching the sea split, couldn't help but twitch his lips.
He felt that even if he became the King of the Sea and obtained the Golden Trident, he might not be able to achieve what Jerry was doing now.
The power of the Golden Trident can calm tsunamis and control water, but splitting the sea in two like this was a bit too much to ask.
