Constantine was chased out of the Hall of Justice in a sorry state. He walked alone in the cold wind. Facing the cold wind, he could not help but tighten his trench coat.
When Hawkman and Hawkgirl were burned to ashes in front of him, Constantine had already understood most of it.
The one who killed them was a 'ghost', a strange and terrifying ghost, something that all mages feared from the bottom of their hearts. A ghost from Hell … This was not an exaggeration, but an objective and honest description. Constantine could hear news of it even in Hell. Legend had it that it was a great demon from Hell.
Later, it inherited the position of God's Executioner, the incarnation of the Spirit of Wrath.
Hence, this ghost became one of the supreme existences in the entire universe. It had almost omnipotent divine power, and its duty was to punish all crimes in the world. Constantine had fought with it a few times. Frankly speaking, it was the last opponent he wanted to face.
But so what if he was unwilling to face it? In the trouble he was involved in, this kind of enemy was just an appetizer.
Without a doubt, Shazan died in the hands of the dagger made by the ghost. Compared to the ghost, Shazan was really just a child. Anyone with the ghost's dagger could kill Shazan. The magic power of the ghost's dagger deprived Billy of the power of Shazan, leaving only Billy's frail body. His divine power had been completely stripped, so he died easily.
Then, the ghost went to the Rock of Eternity and found the wizard Shazan …
Only he could so easily kill one of the seven most powerful wizards on Earth, and the strongest one at that. Therefore, Zatanna would not be able to find any clues when she went to the Rock of Eternity. The ghost hid the flames of vengeance in the Hawkman's body. Only he could promise the Hawkman that he could lift their eternal curse.
"Now, the mastermind behind this is starting to show signs. One of them has exposed his identity. But what's despairing is that it doesn't do anything except make us feel more urgent. Because the ghost is the kind of enemy who is not afraid of exposing his identity. "
On the other side, Batman had also guessed the ghost's identity.
The ghost gave someone a magic dagger that hid the flames of vengeance. That person found the defenseless Shazan and took his life with the dagger from behind.
There was only one question left — who was this person?
He wasn't an Eagle Man, because an Eagle Man wouldn't do such a thing. The fact that the Eagle Man was controlled by Black Hand to kill Constantine was already the limit of his four-thousand-year curse.
Then who was the one who killed his comrade and brother with his own hands?
Batman wasn't feeling very good right now. The murderer had used his paranoia as a weapon to force Hawkman and Hawkgirl to death. Although he wasn't wrong about that, the provocation and the malice of making them kill each other made Batman very angry. Three heroes had already been killed … Who knew how many more there were?
They had to find the traitor among them. Although this was the enemy's goal, they had no other choice.
The Justice League must be united, but Batman can doubt everything.
Batman decided to sink deeper into the darkness, to doubt, to spy on everything in secret, to find a flaw, and then to deal a fatal blow.
"A new dark force is approaching us. The ghost is just one of them … "
The Sahara Desert … The Sea of Deserts, the Lost Kingdom. The endless sand dunes were like the rolling waves of the Sea of Deserts. In this extremely arid place, the only similarity between the desert and the sea was that they were both extremely vast. The desert was also known as the Sea of Deserts because, in a sense, they were extremely barren for humans.
Under the sand dunes was an abyss like the Great Rift Valley in East Africa. This used to be a trench.
It was one of the seven seas of Atlantis … the mysterious sea.
In this extremely silent and desolate trench of Atlantis, a hand gently brushed away the sand and dust on a stone platform.
The stone platform was a forging table, and the symbol of the King of Atlantis was etched on it … the shape of Neptune's trident. It was the mold used to cast Neptune's trident, but now it was broken in half. The highly developed mysterious sea industry had died, and the hall where this artifact was cast had become a ruin buried under the sand dunes.
Namo hated this place very much … His skin was robbed of moisture by the surrounding dry air, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Atlantis …" Namo whispered the name softly. He had a complicated feeling about this country with two completely different names in the universe. It was just like how he felt about Sea King Arthur after he knew the existence of this man who was like him in the mirror. They were both mixed blood of the land and the sea, and they were both rejected by the sea race.
They were both born from the princess of the sea and the lowly human on the shore, and they were both the bridge between the sea and the land.
They were so similar, yet so different.
"The universe was drowned by death! But Atlantis did not perish … It took root again in this new world, grew, and became a great and glorious civilization … but destruction will come again. Arthur … that man does not have the tolerance of a king. He is not worthy to lead Atlantis, and he cannot lead his people through this devastating disaster. "
"Atlantis will be destroyed in his hands!" Namo's eyes gradually became firm. "I failed to save Atlantis, and I could only watch it collapse in front of me and be swallowed by darkness. But this time … I won't! I won't let Atlantis be destroyed again in front of me … I swear that my life will be linked to this country again, and we will share weal and woe together! "
Namo held the sacred Neptune's trident in his hand and roared.
He raised the trident in his hand, and the artifact that could control the power of the sea set off a huge tide. The highest wave reached the height of the skyscrapers of the metropolis. The sea rushed up to the Sahara desert and spread to the Eye of the Sahara. The sea water that had not been seen for thousands of years once again poured into the trench where the mysterious sea country was located.
The tide submerged the ruins where Namo was. Under the stimulation of the sea water, the technology of Atlantis in the hall was once again activated. High-level energy activated the high-tech equipment in the hall, and the energy furnace that was used to build Neptune's trident was ignited once again.
Namo said that the Atlantis of this universe was a continuation of the previous universe, and it was not groundless. At least the technological systems of the two were highly similar, and whether it was race or culture, there was not much difference from the Atlantis where Namo came from. In fact, the Atlantis technology that Namo mastered was even more advanced than that of this universe.
Namo took out the gifts given to him by his allies, the Poseidon steel that was used to build Neptune's trident in this world … a precious metal of Atlantis.
He then threw his trident into the energy furnace. The melted Neptune's trident and the Poseidon steel were mixed together, and under the control of Atlantis' alloy technology, they formed a brand new alloy. The Neptune's trident in this world had a strange ability that made the trident act like a signal amplifier, amplifying a natural ability of the royal family.
This ability was related to the life force nurtured by the sea, and it was related to the origin of all life on Earth from the sea.
It could command all marine life, and it could infect and control the life in the sea, but this was only the insignificant performance of this ability.
If the bloodline of the Neptune in this universe represented the power of the sea's origin of life, then Namo's bloodline represented the sea itself. Sacred Neptune could control the power of the sea and set off boundless tsunamis. Namo could command the water, manipulate the sea, set off tsunamis and waves, and when he was at his strongest, he could even create ocean currents.
Sacred Neptune accumulated power from the movement of the sea. When this power erupted, it could drown islands, drown continents, and destroy everything.
Now, Namo had combined Sacred Neptune and Poseidon steel with the Atlantis technology of this universe and the universe he was born in to create an unprecedented artifact of the sea … the real Neptune's trident!
The platinum liquid metal was also liquid. As the trident cooled, an indescribable brilliance slowly appeared in the mold of the trident. As the trident completely solidified and came into contact with the seawater, a hidden wave receded from the Sahara with the tide. Namo rode this receding tide and returned to the sea.
Neptune's trident emitted a wave that spread across the seven seas.
All the marine life began to stir. In the Atlantis Sea Kingdom, the Atlantean warriors comforted their restless marine life mounts. Queen Mela was fidgeting on the throne. She called her confidant and asked him to go to the Alliance of Justice to find Neptune Arthur. However, she looked in the direction of the wave in a daze.
"This is the announcement of the birth of a new king of the sea … The sea can't have two kings!"
"The sea! Have you also given up on Arthur? " Mela knew that Arthur was not a qualified king. Compared to ruling his people, he preferred to drink with the sailors on land and play superhero games with the mainlanders … This made the foundation of his rule unstable.
It was true that Mehra governed Atlantis very well and had a group of solid supporters.
However, Mela was the princess of the Kingdom of Zeber, and the master of the seven seas could only be the royal family of Atlantis. Therefore, Mela chose to rely on Arthur's laws to rule the seven seas. However, Arthur himself lacked prestige, and Mela herself had flaws in her laws. Their rule might be stable, but it was not.
Now, another king of the sea had issued his own declaration and challenge.
This made Mela feel uneasy. She whispered, "Arthur, come back quickly! Your authority is being challenged … "In the watchtower, the rough man, the Sea King, who was drinking wine, stared at his trident with a puzzled expression. Arthur grabbed the Neptune's trident, the divine weapon passed down from generation to generation of the Sea Tribe, and felt its uneasiness.
He was going to inform Batman and return to Atlantis to take a look.
