Let's rewind to a short time ago.

Just as Clark was about to return to his happy old home and begin his Super Hero career, Ben had already obtained one of the three Mother Box from Stardust Laboratory.

This is Mother Box protected by humankind, but human history has long been the Fault; they have forgotten the ancient covenants and know nothing about the information contained in the Mother Box.

However, during the continuous civil war, they discovered this treasure that did not belong to Earth.

However, with Superman still existing outside of society, their research on the Mother Box was not in-depth, and they even shelved it for a time, storing it in an inconspicuous corner.

Ben first used the technology of the Kryptonian Spaceship to search the global network, quickly found the target, and then transformed into Big Chill to steal it.

For Big Chill capable of phase space transformation, obtaining the Mother Box from an unsuspecting laboratory would be a piece of cake.

After obtaining the Mother Box, Ben did not immediately begin research, but instead prepared to travel to Atlantis.

Speaking of which, Atlantis had a very high level of technology. The history of this country can be traced back to before the current history of mankind. It once obtained Infinity energy, which led to a catastrophe such as the Great Collapse, causing seven countries to fall into the deep sea.

Even now, Atlantis possesses advanced biotechnology and the ability to convert water into various forms of energy.

In the movie, the suit Orm gave Black Manta only needed to be filled with a few hundred milliliters of seawater to release a plasma ray powerful enough to destroy a small mountain.

If water can be transformed into such enormous amounts of energy, what about other substances?

This is what the 98 looks like. Doesn't the 298 just take off directly?

With that in mind, Ben took out his only Water-type Pokémon —no, his Water-type Alien Hero, Ripjaws —and planned to head to Atlantis to retrieve the second Mother Box.

However, a slight mishap occurred during the operation.

Atlantis is actually just a general term used by people on land to refer to the underwater kingdom. In reality, these marine humans have seven kingdoms and seven races: the Atlantis Kingdom, the Xebel Kingdom, the Kingdom of Fishermen, the Kingdom of Saltwater, the kingdom of the Deserters perished in the Sahara, the Lost Kingdom are unknown, and the Trench intelligence has completely degenerated and who have become beasts.

Of these seven kingdoms and races, the inhabitants of Atlantis and Zebel still retain a human-like appearance, but the inhabitants of the Fishermen Kingdom and Brine Kingdom have evolved into the appearance of marine creatures.

Among them, the people of the Brine Kingdom were affected because their kingdom sank into the vicinity of the volcano.

To withstand harsh environments, they evolved thick shells that can insulate against high temperatures, and their appearance is more similar to that of lobsters and crabs, making them look exactly like shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

Meanwhile, the Fishermen Kingdom has grown fish tail organs.

However, they can hardly be called mermaids; in terms of appearance, Ripjaws can truly be described as handsome and dashing.

Ben can swear he is indeed handsome.

The only reason he, an outsider, was able to stand before the king of the Fishermen Kingdom was because of his handsome face, which resembled nothing more than a rotten fish head...

Thinking of this, his bulging, round eyes couldn't help but look past the green Fishermen Kingdom King and behind him. Not far away, a pink fisherman, also adorned with gold but smaller in stature, looked shy, shrinking his head like a bashful eighty-year-old woman.

That's terrifying; it's the kind of thing that can give you nightmares just by looking at it.

It must be said that the Princess of the Fishermen Kingdom shattered Ben's beautiful impression of "pink" and "Princess" on the same day.

And what's worse is...

"We are so glad to have found a member of our people who had been lost. Losing you would be a great loss to the Fishermen Kingdom." The Fishermen Kingdom King looked at Ben with satisfaction, his two dead fish eyes filled with enthusiasm and expectation.

"So, when will you be able to marry my daughter?"

Ben was speechless for a moment. Looking at the little girl-like Princess of the Fishermen Kingdom not far away, he felt his sharp teeth were tingling.

You look like the little devil from Journey to the West, what are you being shy about?

Not long ago, when he transformed into Ripjaws and planned to infiltrate the Atlantis Kingdom, he ended up in the Fishermen Kingdom because he was unfamiliar with the underwater world. Moreover, he was discovered while infiltrating—these underwater kingdoms were extremely closed off, with only one entrance and exit.

Ben attempted to sneak in from the surrounding area, but was discovered anyway.

However, the soldiers from the Fishermen Kingdom did not make things difficult for him.

After all, Ben looked just like a citizen of the Fishermen Kingdom, and in their eyes he was one of their own, only he wasn't registered, so they suspected him of being a lost member of their tribe.

"I've heard that the current King of the Atlantis Kingdom, Orm, has an older brother who is the descendant of the former queen and a land dweller, and is also the rightful heir to the throne of Atlantis."

The Fishermen Kingdom didn't pay much attention to Mr. Arthur's existence, since it was a matter for the Atlantis Kingdom and had nothing to do with them.

With this precedent in place, the sudden appearance of a child from one's own country who has been abandoned abroad doesn't seem so unacceptable.

Besides, Ben doesn't look human at all now, and he's the purest one in the Fishermen Kingdom, which is completely different from Arthur, a mermaid hybrid.

So they quickly accepted Ben, and then things took a strange turn.

The people of the Fishermen Kingdom love peace and enjoy exploring knowledge and poetry. However, most of them do not have the opportunity to leave the country, so they are very curious about Ben, this outsider. Even the king was alarmed and came to find Ben with his guards.

His initial intention was to see if Ben had any knowledge of land dwellers or poetry, hoping to have a discussion with them. Ben, of course, handled the situation with ease.

Although human technology is far behind theirs, their philosophy and poetry are incredibly brilliant. Even though Ben didn't know much about it, he could still have a conversation with them.

This led to the Fishermen Kingdom King being very pleased with Ben, and the Princess was immediately captivated by Ripjaws's "handsome" face upon their first meeting...

After some conversation, the king decided to Ben his son-in-law.

"This... isn't this inappropriate?"

Ben said with a look of strong resistance.

Your daughter's face is as rotten as a deformed potato, and her body is like that of a skinny stray dog that hasn't eaten for half a month. I really can't stand her!

Compared to this, Princess Attea the Frog is a top-tier beauty.

Of course, from Ripjaws's perspective, the Princess is actually a "beauty," but Ben doesn't want to be Ripjaws forever.

He quickly refused, saying that his status was not equal and he was not worthy of the Princess's favor.

Of course, if it were Mera, he would most likely have given a different explanation.

"No, Mera won't do either. I can't stand it if she poops on my bed." Ben shook his head, trying to banish the woman who was trying to become stronger by pooping from his mind.

She was such a beautiful woman, it's a pity she's not quite right in the head.

"That's a real shame." The Fishermen Kingdom King shook his head, but he was also glad that Ben hadn't agreed. Just as Ben had said, the two sides were not on equal footing, and even if he was very satisfied with Ben, he couldn't force him.

The Princess, however, was filled with regret and resentment.

Having missed out on Ripjaws, I'm afraid I'll never find another young man as handsome and knowledgeable as him.

"How handsome his scallop-flat head is! Those protruding fangs are as captivating as a sea urchin... And of course, that glowing light bulb on his head is a stroke of genius!"

The king of the Fishermen Kingdom still treated Ben great courtesy.

He even wanted Ben to serve as a high-ranking official in the country because of Ben knowledge, but unfortunately Ben had no intention of staying in the Fishermen Kingdom.

"I grew up outside the Seven Kingdoms, so I really want to see what our world is really like." Ben made a travel request to him, and the other party immediately understood.

"Of course, it's no big deal." The Fishermen Kingdom King generously issued Ben a travel permit. "With this, you can cross the Underwater Bridge. But if you try to sneak in directly through the seamount, other countries won't let you off so easily."

The Atlantis Kingdom.

This nation, which inherited the ancient civilization of Atlantis, is the most prosperous and powerful of all existing underwater kingdoms.

The current monarch of this country is King Orm.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, all in one look!

That is, Aquaman Arthur's half-brother.

He was a handsome but slightly gloomy man, with a hint of violence hidden in his eyes, but his behavior was not rude.

Since his birth, Orm has been receiving the best education as the future king, and now Vulko, the wisest advisor in the Atlantis Kingdom, is his teacher from childhood to adulthood.

Even so, he still had a secret worry that he couldn't talk about.

That was his older brother, who had the blood of a dirty landman!

This is a stain on his record.

Because that existence tainted the noble bloodline of the Atlantis royal family, but it must be said that Orm actually felt a trace of jealousy towards his brother whom he had never met.

Because Arthur was the product of his mother's love, while he was merely a product of compromise.

That bastard killed his own mother, yet greedily obtained all of her love!

Whenever he thought of this, Orm became extremely angry.

However, he will soon pay the price!

"King Orm, I hope you will reconsider. We should not break our ancient covenant, nor should we wage war against the land people," Vulko said humbly, standing beside him.

He had watched Orm grow up, but now he felt deeply disappointed in Orm.

Orm was very talented, but he was not qualified to be a king.

Thinking of this, the image of Arthur's young face couldn't help but appear in his mind again.

In fact, he hadn't seen Arthur for several years. Ever since he taught Arthur all his martial arts skills, Vulko had rarely met with Arthur.

But now, perhaps only Arthur can stop the impending war.

"A pact?"

Orm laughed coldly, "If those land people still remembered their so-called alliance, they wouldn't have shamelessly invaded our land and slaughtered our people!"

"Vulko, it has never been us who started the war, but humanity!"

"But..."

Vulko's old face contorted in distress; if Ben were here, he would surely exclaim, "Norman!"

"To start a war, you need the support of four countries."

"Of course." Orm nodded calmly. "I have persuaded King Nereus of Zebel to marry his daughter Mera to me as my fiancée. She will secure the support of the Xebel Kingdom for me."

"But... this might not be a wise decision. I've heard that a warrior has appeared on land who can fly in the sky, and he's incredibly powerful..."

Vulko refers to Clark Kent, Super Hero trainee who debuted two and a half days ago.

Clark's first appearance showcased his astonishing power to the world—he had only saved a runaway plane, but America wanted to control him and launched an attack.

The result, needless to say, was...

The battle took place in the Pacific Ocean, so much so that Vulko also learned some intelligence through sea creatures.

"So what happened?"

Orm didn't take Superman seriously.

That's normal; he's always been this brave.

The original Aquaman movie timeline was after Justice League. Clark had already turned Steppenwolf into a stray dog, yet this guy was still out of his mind and wanted to attack land. Not to mention that Clark hasn't even fully shown his strength yet.

"Land people are intellectually inferior, technologically backward, and physically weak. What is there to worry about?" Orm said confidently.

Little Superman, how ridiculous!

"It doesn't matter, I'll take action!"

"So what if he's Superman? The power of us Atlantis is the greatest! Even if I carry the Abyss on my back and hold up the ancient city of Atlantis with one hand, I can easily suppress and kill him!"

"But..." Vulko wanted to say something, but Orm waved his hand, interrupting him.

"Alright!"

"Vulko, I am the true king!"

"Now, let's prepare to bring my fiancée to Atlantis ahead of schedule. Currently, only the Xebel Kingdom, the Fishermen Kingdom, and the Brine Kingdom are willing to respond to our call. We must secure their agreement and restore the glory of Atlantis!"

"I will make Atlantis great again!"
