Chapter 830: A Billion Kryptonian Babies (Second Update)
Chapter 830: A Billion Kryptonian Babies (Second Update)
"Found it!"
Following the guidance of the Law, Jerry and Arthur quickly arrived at a spot on the seabed, where a massive vortex enveloped in countless lightning bolts lay before them.
"What is this?"
Looking at the terrifying vortex, Arthur felt a tremor of fear in his heart.
Jerry smiled and said:
"It's a natural Spatial Teleportation Portal, though the Spatial forces inside are a bit chaotic."
He pointed at the vortex and used the Spatial Law to simplify it. The once-terrifying vortex slowly transformed into a portal composed of various Magic Runes.
As they passed through the portal, a scene that would shock any historian or biologist to the point of dropping their jaws appeared before them.
Huge stones filled the sky, and countless long-extinct dinosaurs ran and played on the ground. The natural scenery was even more beautiful than that of Paradise Island.
This place was located near a dark sea in the subterranean world of Earth.
"This reminds me of the movie 'Journey to the Center of the Earth'!"
Landing the flying carpet on the beach, Jerry looked around at the beautiful scenery and sighed.
Meanwhile, Arthur stood frozen, staring at a white-haired woman on the beach.
"Mom!"
"Arthur!"
The white-haired woman was none other than Arthur's mother, Queen Atlanna, who had been sacrificed to the Trench Clan years ago.
This place was the Subterranean Dark Sea, the territory of the Trench Clan before they fully regressed. It still had many remnants of Trench Clan architecture and was where the Golden Trident was kept.
After the mother and son embraced with tears and explained everything, Queen Atlanna led them to the massive waterfall that concealed the Golden Trident.
"Inside, the Sea Beast Karason guards it. Only the true Lord of the Seven Seas can overcome Karason's test and take the trident. I've tried for many years and failed. You must be careful."
"Your Majesty, Arthur is definitely the Lord of the Seven Seas, no problem!"
Jerry patted Arthur's strong shoulder and then pulled him into the waterfall.
The Sea Beast Karason, in simple terms, was a giant marine creature with immense strength but no other special abilities. This posed no threat to Jerry. A simple Magic spell would suffice.
They hadn't walked far past the waterfall when they saw the Golden Trident glowing with golden energy, and the first Lord of the Seven Seas, the King of Atlantis, sitting on a throne, his body barely maintained by the trident's energy.
"A hybrid and a land-dwelling human, daring to enter the forbidden area and attempt to claim Atlantis's greatest treasure. How laughable."
As they entered, a hundred-meter-tall sea beast roared in derision and charged at them.
Arthur wanted to fight, but Jerry pulled him back.
"You go get the trident. I'll handle this sea beast."
He didn't care about the challenge set by the King of Atlantis for future successors. He wanted a quick victory to return to the Atlantis Kingdom and deal with Orto, securing the third Mother Box.
Rather than waiting for Arthur to battle the sea beast for three hundred rounds and then use his special ability to communicate with fish to retrieve the trident, it was more efficient for Jerry to take care of the beast himself.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you!"
In truth, although Arthur appeared to be an unafraid, muscular man, he did have moments of fear, especially when facing a massive sea beast.
If there were no way out, he wouldn't mind risking his life for a desperate fight. However, with Jerry, the clearly terrifyingly powerful Mage, around, it made more sense to leave it to Jerry.
So, he just nodded and charged toward the Golden Trident.
"You, a Hybrid, have no right to touch the king's relic."
Seeing Arthur rush toward the trident, the Sea Beast immediately lashed out with its massive tail, which was as big as a building, aiming to strike Arthur.
However, no matter how fast its attack was, it was still no match for Jerry's Magic.
"Stupefy!"
A precise Sleeping Charm hit the Sea Beast, putting it to sleep instantly.
With the Sea Beast out of the way, and with the first-generation King of Atlantis' bloodline and abilities within him, Arthur was able to easily pull out the Golden Trident, unlike other brave souls who had failed to do so.
With the Golden Trident in hand, a golden energy enveloped his entire body, and a set of golden Atlantean Emperor's Armor attached to him.
"With the Golden Trident, the people of the Seven Seas will bow in submission, and even the Trench Clan will no longer dare to attack us. We can finally leave this place!"
Watching Arthur and Jerry emerge from the waterfall with the Golden Trident, Queen Atlanna couldn't help but shed tears.
She had been alone in this place for over a decade, thinking about her lover and child every day.
"There's no need for that. We'll leave directly."
Jerry placed his hands on Arthur's and Atlanna's shoulders, and they teleported away from the subterranean world.
Two days later, in the underwater Atlantis Kingdom, Arthur personally handed the third Mother Box to Jerry.
"Thank you for your help. If Darkseid invades Earth, inform me, and I will lead all the sea people to fight alongside you."
Holding the Golden Trident and being the nominal firstborn of the Atlantis Kingdom, with the help of Queen Atlanna and Prime Minister Vico, Arthur successfully replaced his brother Orto as the new king without Jerry's intervention.
Furthermore, due to the Golden Trident, the other nations also acknowledged Arthur as the Lord of the Seven Seas.
"Sure thing!"
Jerry put away the last Mother Box and teleported away, then entered his Bell Universe.
Preventing the war between the sea people and humans earned him a considerable amount of red stars. Now, he needed to focus on converting these into energy to see if he could restore his Single Universe Tier strength early.
The energy from the red stars he absorbed from stopping Zod and the other Kryptonians had already brought him to the peak of the New God Tier, just one step away from the Single Universe Tier.
He had originally thought that defeating Desaad would be the final push, but now it seemed he could restore his Single Universe Tier strength without waiting for Desaad.
"Wow, so many babies!"
Upon returning to the Bell Universe, Jerry was planning to check on Krypton when he noticed that the billion Kryptonian Incubators had all hatched. Zod and the others were flying above the crying babies, taking care of them as both parents.
"Maybe not."
After some thought, he decided not to disturb Zod and the others in their parental duties. Instead, he went to the area where he had settled the Cat Family to convert and absorb magic power.
