"Are you sure that Ares was the one who started the war between Atlantis and Paradise Island?"
Strange sat upright. His left hand was pinching some kind of test spell, causing Saber-Toothed Tiger to be immersed in the light of the spell. Saber-Toothed Tiger, who was sitting opposite him, nodded in boredom.
"Yes, I'm sure. Five months ago, Ares gave me a map."
Viktor looked at the solemn faces of the people around him. He rolled his eyes and continued, "It's a detailed map of Atlantis.
"It's a detailed map of the underwater city of Atlantis. I dare say that even in the hands of the Atlanteans, it's impossible for them to have such a detailed map. In short, I followed Ares's instructions and snuck into the city. I stole something and placed it in the treasure vault of Paradise Island."
Viktor's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
"Queen Hippolyte, who ruled Paradise Island, was obsessed with missing her daughter. She didn't have time to manage her own treasure vault. Under Ares's instigation, the news of the Amazons snatching the treasure from Paradise Island spread to Atlantis. You know what happened next. They started a war and have been fighting ever since!"
Everyone in the hall had different expressions on their faces. Saber's face was gloomy, the sorcerers' faces were solemn, the bespectacled Felicity was searching for information on a computer, and Superman Clark's girlfriend, Louise, refuted Viktor's words.
"With all due respect, I think you're just telling a story."
The reporter pushed up her glasses and looked at Saber-Toothed Tiger, "I've never heard of Paradise Island. As for Atlantis, it's just a hypothesis."
"So, who can control this mortal girl? Tell her not to comment on things that she doesn't understand! "
The bad-tempered old sorcerer, Hogness, who had rushed back from Northern Europe, knocked on the floor with his fire crystal staff and said in a deep voice, "This place! How can a mortal be allowed to listen to such things! "
Seeing the old man lose his temper, Louise immediately shrank back and hid beside her boyfriend. She had sneaked into the hall with Clark. There was no place for her here.
After reprimanding the mortal girl who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, the old sorcerer's hawk-like eyes landed on Viktor.
"But I don't quite believe everything you said, mutant. As far as I know, the ruler of Atlantis, Queen Atlana, was not a foolish king. Queen Hippolyte was a demigod blessed by the Olympian gods. She would not be easily controlled by her emotions. So I'm more curious. What did you steal from Atlantis?"
"A trident!"
Victor recalled for a moment, and then used both of his hands to outline the appearance of that thing. "A golden halberd, the tip is divided into five parts. Just by holding it in my hand, I can feel its control over the sea. Ares said that this thing is the symbol of the Atlantean royalty, a weapon that only the king of the Seven Seas can wield."
"Neptune's Trident!"
Hogness's eyes widened. He stood up and tapped his staff on the ground. "That means you're lying! Mutant, the Trident has always been in the hands of Queen Atlana. With your strength, there is no way you can take it away from her! "
"But the queen is dead! Old Sorcerer! "
Victor felt the surge of power in Hogness. He felt threatened, so he hurriedly explained.
"The queen was murdered by her own son! I saw it with my own eyes. I was hiding in the shadows of the palace. I saw it clearly. Ares gave the Sea Lord Amu his power, allowing him to carry out a cruel but effective assassination. "
Saber-Toothed Tiger saw the shock in Hogness's eyes. He continued.
"Like you said, Atlantis is an underwater kingdom. Under normal circumstances, I would have been discovered when I touched the Trident, and then I would have been arrested and executed. But that night, the entire underwater palace was in a mess because of the queen's death. That was why I was able to leave the palace safely with the Trident."
"So what you mean is, the new Atlantean usurper and the God of War in Exile have joined forces. The usurper, Amu, obtained the underwater kingdom, and Ares obtained his lost divine right of war …"
Old Sorcerer Hogness closed his eyes and sat back on the sofa. Just as he was thinking, Felicity, who had been busy beside the computer, suddenly spoke.
"I've locked onto the beginning of the recent anomalies in the Mediterranean Sea. It's about five months ago, which is consistent with Mr. Victor's statement. After the sudden outbreak of torrential rain, the ocean currents began to change irregularly. There has been no way of navigating there in recent months. It is said that the ships there can only move along the coast, or they will be easily swept into the sudden appearance of the Eye of the Sea. "
"That's not the Eye of the Sea."
Strange ended his magic and glanced at Viktor. He said in a deep voice, "That was the war magic cast by the Storm Warlocks of Atlantis. Obviously, they were attacking the defense line of Paradise Island in an orderly manner. It seems that our Mr. Viktor was not lying. This war was really started by Ares."
"So what happens after you confirm it?"
Seiber asked, "When can I find out where that Paradise Island is? Lady Diana is a friend to all of us. Now that she is in danger, we have to save her. "
"It's not that we don't want to tell you, Saber."
Old Sorcerer Hogness sighed. "It's just that we don't know. In my time, many rumors said that Paradise Island hid a divine object from the Olympian gods. Many Dark Sorcerers spontaneously searched for the island. However, after 100 years of searching, there was no result. That place is covered by the power of the Olympian gods. Those who are not recognized by them are not allowed to enter."
"It is said that Zeus regarded Paradise Island as the last bloodline of Mount Olympus. Before he died, he begged the Sorcerer Supreme to let go of his last bloodline. The Sorcerer Supreme agreed to his request. That is why Kamar-Taj did not have a detailed record of Paradise Island. It is possible that even the Sorcerer Supreme herself does not know the location of Paradise Island. If she wants to know, she will know."
Strange continued, "Right now, we only know that the island is located in the Mediterranean Sea, but it's hard to say exactly where it is. During the First World War, an American pilot named Trevor was the only mortal who managed to break into Paradise Island. But even then, it was because of Ares."
"Trevor?"
Saber frowned. "I heard that he was Diana's husband?"
"No, he wasn't!"
Hogness shook his head. "Princess Diana was a demigod. Her bloodline was noble. She was not allowed to marry a mortal. As far as I know, Trevor died before the war. He and Diana were only former comrades. They had some feelings for each other. Unfortunately, they were destroyed before they could be born."
"Hmm, how tragic …"
Saber calmly commented on Diana's marriage. He then turned to look at Viktor, who shrugged.
"Don't look at me, I don't know either. That night, I snuck into Paradise Island with the help of Ares's teleportation magic. I couldn't find the island surrounded by the sea either, but to be honest, it's not a small island. It's at least two-thirds the size of New York. It's like a small country."
Saber nodded. He looked at the people in front of him.
"Now, it seems that Diana is really in trouble. What do you think?"
"Lady Diana fought side by side with me in New York. She is a warrior with a strong sense of honor. I am willing to save her!"
Clark stood up and said to Saber, "And I can set off immediately."
"Then you'd better come with me."
Barry, the Flash, who suddenly appeared in the hall, patted his chest and said to Clark, "I heard that Lady Diana was in danger. I rushed over immediately. I only need five minutes to search the entire Mediterranean Sea. Speed is the most important thing to find a hidden target. During the war in New York, Lady Diana taught me a lot. I am willing to help her."
"Very well. Then you guys set off immediately and search the Mediterranean Sea."
Seiber stretched his fingers and said to Strange and Hogness, "Let's start from the other side and find the Atlanteans first. Then, we'll be able to find Paradise Island by following the direction of their attack."
"I suggest you guys hurry."
Victor stood up from his chair and stretched his back.
"Ares' execution ability is very high. Both sides have been fighting for five months. In such an intense war, Ares' power will increase beyond your imagination. Don't underestimate him. He was once a God, an opponent at the level of the Supreme Sorcerer. If you are not careful, you will be dead."
Twenty minutes later, the surface of the Mediterranean Sea, which was already shrouded in fog, was raging with raging waves. No sailor dared to step into the raging sea. It was as if the God of the Sea had set off the craziest anger to warn the world. In recent months, more than one person had claimed to have seen an army marching under the sea. The very superstitious sailors believed that it was the migration of the souls buried in the sea.
At this moment, under the raging waves, at the deepest part of the sea, the dim light on the surface of the water reflected a very strange light. Under the undulating sea, a special army was quietly advancing.
The huge sea monsters were like giant orangutans, advancing on the bottom of the sea on all fours. Their faces looked similar to crocodiles, and their bodies were covered with scales and webbed feet like various fish. Each of these monsters was more than four meters tall, and their bodies were bulging with muscles. It was easy to imagine these big guys slaughtering on the battlefield.
The ones controlling these giant monsters were some tall warriors who looked no different from humans. They held tridents in their hands, and they did not need any equipment to survive in the water. Their bodies were so tall that even the most violent waves in the sea could not destroy their bodies. They formed an army, driving the sea monsters and murlocs all over the sea to the frontline of the battlefield.
These were the soldiers of Atlantis. For a long time, they lived peacefully in the underwater kingdom of Atlantis in the half-bitwall of the sea. They rarely communicated with the outside world. Occasionally, they would save some people who fell into the water. They did not feel anything about the changes in the outside world. They were completely different from humans.
But now, they were involved in a war. The despicable Queen of Paradise Island sent people to assassinate the great Queen Atlantis and snatched the symbol of the sea's sovereignty, the Neptune's Trident, and used it to threaten Atlantis to submit to their power.
The soldiers of Atlantis used the most tragic war to pay back that group of arrogant crazy women. Under the leadership of the new King Amu, Atlantis broke away from the half-bitwall kingdom at the bottom of the sea and spread its power out like a storm in the sea. They … would never yield!
But today, there were a few new faces in the army. But in the solemn atmosphere that was about to enter the battlefield, not many people would pay attention to that.
"The destination should be in front. We're almost there … Contact Clark and Barry. Ask them to gather at the front!"
Saber signaled to Strange who was beside him. The two of them were shining with the light of illusion, making them look no different from ordinary Atlanteans. As for the two unlucky fellows under their identities, they should have been eaten by hungry sharks by now.
But to be honest, for some reason, the closer they got to the battlefield, the faster Saber's heart beat. It was as if a huge crisis was right in front of them.
