Chapter 167 Aquaman’S First Public Appearance
Dane finally suppressed his inner speculation for the time being.
If it is a parasitic demon, it does not need to adopt such a roundabout way to invade. It should directly show its chariots and horses to challenge the Justice League.
After all, in front of its Ability, the more people there are, the more conducive it is to absorbing the Ability. The stronger the people who besiege it, the stronger it will become.
Therefore, Dane guessed that, at least for now, the mastermind behind the scenes was not the parasitic demon in his mind.
"Cortana, has the rough construction of the dream been completed?"
Cortana's apparition appears in the hall again.
"90.83% completed."
Dane nodded and continued: "Take out the dream stone first, I will use it."
"OK."
The data stream flashed in Cortana's eyes, and the Dream Stone suddenly appeared in mid-air.
After a long period of experimentation and research, Dane finally found a way to make Cortana, the artificial intelligence, use magic.
By setting the magic circle to a program in 01 language, and using the Dream Stone as the source of magic power, Cortana can construct any known magic.
But so far, Cortana can only use mature magic. She is not enough to create new magic herself, and she is still one step away from true intelligent life.
This step is the soul.
Dane took the dream stone, and a bracelet made of nanomaterials appeared on his hand. This is a portable supercomputer with a large space expanded using light ring technology.
Cortana smiled, and then her body turned into light points and flew into Xi En's bracelet.
Dane took back his bracelet, 367 pulled it with both hands, opened the portal to Atlantis, and stepped into the water.
Since he did not enter through normal means, Atlantis's early warning system did not respond to him at all.
"Arthur."
When Arthur heard this, he turned around suddenly and was pleasantly surprised when he found it was Dane.
"Dane! How did you come so fast?"
Atlanna just left not long ago!
"Now that we know the enemy's plan, we must arrange it in advance. Arthur, I hope you can cooperate with me."
Arthur said cheerfully: "Just say it, I will definitely cooperate!"
Dane nodded: "I want to set up a large magic circle throughout the country of Atlantis to confuse the enemy and maybe lure them into taking the bait."
Arthur wondered: "But the territory of Atlantis is very large, can you make it over?"
"There is no need to set up the entire sea area. The enemy is coming for your people, so you only need to restrict your citizens to a fixed territory.
"That's no problem." Arthur simply agreed to the request.
Then he planned to let Vico carry out the order.
When Vico heard that Arthur was looking for him, he quickly swam into the king's conference room.
Then he saw Shazam. He almost didn't shout the word "guard" directly, so he could only hold it in and turned to look at Arthur.
"Arthur, you called me?"
"Yes Vico, I would like to issue a king's order."
"Say." Vico had already secretly been a little cautious.
He was afraid that Shazam would use Arthur to achieve some purpose.
"Recently, all citizens are asked to stay in Atlantis and don't go anywhere!" he said carelessly.
Dane couldn't help but hold his forehead, what he said was too straightforward.
Sure enough, Vico immediately objected.
"Arthur, you should know that Queen Atlanna is actively establishing diplomacy with other kingdoms. Do you want to close Atlantis at this time?
This will give people a very bad idea!”
Arthur was confused: "Mother, she naturally has other ways to enter and leave Atlantis freely. What's the problem with this?"
This time it was Vico who was holding his forehead and it hurt, but normally it would be fine.
But at this time, any move made by Arthur can easily be magnified infinitely, causing tension in the parliament and the people.
This is not a failure in a technical sense, but in a political sense.
Dane thought about it, and it was not good for mother and son to get along just because of this incident, so he suggested:
"Actually, as long as we can ensure that most of the citizens are within the borders, we can actually perform this magic without them knowing."
Arthur nodded when he heard this, but Vico was confused. He quickly asked: "What magic? What are you going to do?"
The two of them looked at each other, and Arthur believed that his teacher could be trusted, so he told him the whole story.
Vico couldn't help but frown: "These surface people are really..."
Arthur quickly grabbed Vico and stopped him from continuing. He gave Dane an awkward smile.
Dane can understand his mood. Regardless of whether there is a mastermind behind this incident or not, and whether it is what Dane thinks, the officials of the United States are definitely happy to see it happen.
However, everyone was evenly divided on this matter. Originally, Atlantis was the one who made the first move, so it was obviously impossible to expect the other party to just take a beating and not fight back.
"So, what do you mean? I think Atlanna must have reminded you to help Arthur before she left.
Now, Arthur is fulfilling the obligations of a king and protecting his (cedg) people.
Mr. Vico, do you want to stop it?"
Vico's face darkened when he heard this. Are you sure you're not trying to make someone angry by saying this?
He thought for a moment and came up with an idea.
"Let's do this. Let Arthur make a public appearance in front of all the people. Most people in Atlantis want to see their new king..."
Arthur's face was immediately full of rejection.
Dane asked curiously: "What? Is there anyone who doesn't know that Arthur has inherited the throne?"
"In fact, there are still quite a few citizens who believe that Orm is still their king." Vico sighed.
The big reason why this happened was because Arthur had always been resistant to becoming king, so he refused to communicate with his people.
But now, Arthur can no longer do this.
Dane simply issued instructions to Arthur directly as the leader of the Justice League.
"Arthur, this matter is very important. Put aside your petty emotions and resolve the matter first."
Arthur had made a promise that he was willing to be Dane's pawn, and at the moment he made a reasonable request, and Arthur couldn't refuse it.
He could only sigh and took out the golden trident and held it tightly with both hands.
Neptune's Trident can enhance his ability and allow him to directly connect to the consciousness of the Atlanteans, just like he communicates with sea creatures on the same principle.
Dane taught him this.
"Citizens of Atlantis, I am Arthur Curry, your new king. At this time tomorrow, I will be waiting for you in the Ring of Fire..."
After expressing his meaning clearly, Arthur took back the trident and inserted it back into the throne.
Due to the activation of the Poseidon series of divine powers, Dane can also hear Arthur's "broadcast" to Atlantis.
"The Ring of Fire, that's a nice place."
The Ring of Fire is where Arthur and Orm had their first duel in the movie. Legend has it that the battle there can lead directly to the eye of the gods.
Dane is going to put the Dream Stone there and activate it.
At this time, Arthur's voice also sounded in the hearts of all Atlanteans.
Whether they know him or not, they are all surprised by his ability.
They exchanged information with each other and found that everyone had heard the voice, and they were secretly shocked by it.
You must know that among all the kings, there has never been one who can directly talk to the hearts of every citizen.
"You going?"
Someone asked the companion next to him, and the companion said sadly: "I definitely want to go, at least to see what kind of person our future ruler will be, right?"
There are many people who hold the same idea, and more Atlanteans return to the country from all directions.
The next day, the seats around the Ring of Fire were already full of people, and only those with noble blood could sit here.
Above the center of the Ring of Fire, a virtual screen enlarges the platform in the center of the Ring of Fire and broadcasts the scene here to those citizens who cannot enter.
In the ring of fire, the door of the underground secret room opens.
A man wearing yellow on the upper body and green inner armor on the lower body and holding a golden trident in his hand jumped out.
As soon as Arthur appeared with the trident, the nobles immediately recognized him.
"That's... that's the king's..." He wiped his eyelids as if he couldn't believe it, then looked at it carefully, and even used a telescope.
"That's Neptune's Trident!"
Although they had heard that the new king had found the Holy Trident, everyone always thought it was just hype.
But combined with the magical ability that Arthur activated yesterday and what they saw with their own eyes today, their hearts began to waver.
As soon as the golden trident came out, Atlantis was in an uproar!
