Chapter 118: The Magical Vortex Under the Sea
"What, where did you hear about this?"
Mera looked at David in shock. "I have to remind you, the person who told you this might have bad intentions."
The lost Trident, which could command the seven seas for ages, was actually in the habitat of one of Atlantis's tribes?
"No one told me about this."
David looked down, stroking his chin.
He wondered what the first king of Atlantis was thinking, leaving a series of clues, even pointing people to the Sahara Desert in the middle, only to finally lead them back to Atlantis.
Why couldn't he have just said the Trident was here? Did he think it wasn't mysterious enough?
"The Trench dwellers are 'evolved' Atlanteans. They lost their intelligence during their evolution and became monsters, slightly stronger than ordinary Atlanteans. Their reproductive abilities also changed. There are at least tens of millions of Trench dwellers in this abyssal trench below."
Mera swallowed, feeling that David either had no idea how dangerous the Trench dwellers were or was simply insane.
"If you're as powerful as you say, you don't need the Trident to defeat Orm. I suggest you turn back and seize the throne."
She actually wanted to say that if David was seeking death, he shouldn't drag her along.
"I believe what you said earlier."
Mera deeply regretted her initial cold snort when David made those arrogant remarks; otherwise, she wouldn't be in this situation.
"I have other uses for the Trident."
David smiled, as if he hadn't heard Mera, and manipulated the gravity field, crashing into the seabed.
Passing through the azure water.
They arrived above a wide trench.
The pitch-black seabed abyss looked like a gash torn through the Earth, or perhaps the eye of death silently gazing at all creatures that arrived here.
After a brief pause, the gravity field enveloping them rapidly descended.
The abnormal water currents stirred the deep-sea monsters.
Nearly two meters tall, like deformed fish-men, with sharp fins on their backs and elbows, they sliced through the water, roaring from the seabed, their eyes filled with ferocity as they viciously attacked the only light in the depths.
Under the purple light, countless ferocious monsters surged from the seabed like a swarm of bees, making one's scalp tingle.
In the deep seabed trench, David's expression was calm, purple light emanating from his body like a bright purple lamp in the depths. He controlled the water flow with gravity.
Huge vortices were born around him, spreading for a hundred meters.
Like a deep-sea maelstrom, the Trench dwellers roared and attacked, their cries like the screams of ghosts, chilling the soul. But they were instantly silenced as they were swept into the rapidly expanding vortex.
The white vortex resembled a ring of stars, circling the purple celestial body, creating a beautiful scene.
David calmly and composedly descended further into the trench.
The Trench dwellers were caught in the vortex, colliding with each other, like entering a giant meat grinder. Bones snapped, and blood spread through the sea.
More Trench dwellers were drawn out, like monsters pouring from their nests, an endless horde attacking, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands...
They charged like moths to a flame, determined to devour any creature entering the trench.
The vortex had drawn in too many Trench dwellers, and its force was no longer as fierce. Some even broke through the vortex and slammed into his gravity field, being flung away.
Mera's heart pounded, her eyes wide as she stared at the countless Trench dwellers outside, feeling as if she were facing a great enemy and could be torn to shreds at any moment.
David clicked his tongue, a hint of regret in his voice.
"It's a pity these Trench dwellers can no longer be called people."
Just by entering the deep trench, these Trench dwellers attacked him madly as if their nest had been disturbed, but he gained no emotional points.
More and more Trench dwellers slammed against the shield.
David began to accelerate, quickly descending to the bottom of the trench.
He wasn't worried that these Trench dwellers could threaten him.
With his ability to manipulate energy, he was like a perpetual motion machine, and his powerful Eternal alien physique was not afraid of their attacks.
In fact, David was confident he could kill all tens of millions of Trench dwellers living in this great trench.
"It would only take some time, but it's unnecessary."
There were no benefits to be gained, and a powerful enemy awaited him below: the sea monster Karasen, the guardian of the Trident.
It was a creature with a body length of two kilometers, a mountain-like physique, and the power to shatter peaks at the very least!
"I don't have the ability to communicate with sea kings or marine life, so I'll have to force my way through."
David's eyes flickered slightly. The gravity field shield he controlled, propelled by overwhelming force, acted like a solid steel ball hurtling downwards at supersonic speed, crushing all flesh and blood creatures in its path.
A bloody path of death was carved through millions of Trench dwellers.
Mera's shaken mind struggled to contain itself.
These monsters, with their robust bodies capable of withstanding the crushing pressure of the deep sea, were like fragile, bloody bubbles that shattered at the slightest touch in front of this man.
"May... maybe this land dweller truly possesses strength surpassing Orm?"
After just ten seconds or so.
David couldn't even say how many Trench dwellers he had crashed to their deaths, finally arriving at the bottom of the trench.
A deep, mysterious blue light manifested at the bottom of the trench, taking the form of a swirling vortex.
"What... what is that?"
Mera exclaimed in surprise, "I feel a powerful magical force from above."
"You understand magic?"
David raised an eyebrow.
"Land dweller, in ancient times, the level of advancement of us Atlanteans is beyond your imagination. When other land dwellers didn't even know the Earth was flat, we had already mastered infinite energy technology. We explored the world, and there were few secrets unknown to us. Magic was among them."
Mera looked back. The Trench dwellers seemed to fear the power here and dared not approach, causing her to breathe a sigh of relief and regain some composure.
"Regarding that, I know more than you do."
David's surprise wasn't that Atlantis, a high-tech civilization, had suddenly emerged with magic. In the DC world, Atlantis had many different origin stories. Some said it was an alien race that arrived on Earth and discovered Atlantis, where another alien race was already present. The two races together established Atlantis, but later a civil war broke out. Some said they were native Earthlings, and because the land where Atlantis was located inherently contained mystical magical power, it first developed into a magical civilization... Others said Atlantis's magic originated from the Eternal Rock.
"In short, it's not strange that Atlantis has magic; many origin stories involve magic."
"What surprises me is that you don't seem to understand magic."
He continued speaking. Mera had only displayed her innate talent for manipulating water currents, showing no signs of magic.
"It's very dangerous there. If we enter, we don't know what the outcome will be."
Mera was angry but dared not say anything. Gazing at the vortex of magical power, her face showed unease. She realized David intended to enter it.
"The result is another small world."
David's expression was calm, understanding the mystery of the matter.
"The Trident of Poseidon and a sea monster as large as a mountain are there."
