New Hero Waterhazard

Mera felt she was having a run of bad luck.

She was doing well as a Princess in the Xebel Kingdom, but then that guy Orm sent someone to propose marriage to his father Nereus, in order to improve relations between the two countries.

Nereus naturally agreed to the marriage proposal from the King of Atlantis. Atlantis was the most powerful of the existing nations, and it could be said that it had fully inherited the glorious civilization of ancient Atlantis.

Even if Nereus loved his daughter dearly, he would not indulge Mera's willfulness.

Of course, Nereus only intended for his daughter to become the queen; he didn't really care who the king was.

He knew that there was another Atlantis royal descendant on land, and because of this person's existence, Orm's legitimacy in Atlantis was occasionally questioned.

However, Nereus did not believe that a wild prince who had been abandoned could truly threaten Orm's position.

Mera sat rather unhappily in the fish-shaped spaceship bound for the Atlantis Kingdom. She wore a pink Princess dress, the puffy skirt of which floated like a jellyfish in the ocean, emitting a beautiful glow. Her fiery red hair was very striking, contrasting with her fair skin, making her look like a blooming underwater rose.

Mera was not happy about her father's decision, even though he was the noble King of Atlantis, who was still a complete stranger to her. Moreover, she had heard that King Orm was quite ambitious and had an extreme hatred for land dwellers.

However, Mera never protested against this.

She was born Princess of the Xebel Kingdom, enjoying everything that came with Princess status, but also destined to bear her responsibilities.

Marrying the king of another country and maintaining friendly relations between the two nations is her duty and obligation to the Xebel Kingdom; it is her innate mission, and cannot be shirked simply by saying "I don't want to."

After leaving Fishermen Kingdom, Ben did not immediately head to Atlantis.

The people of the Fishermen Kingdom look very similar to Ripjaws, but they are not the same kind of people. They don't intend to let go of their genes Ben, and since the two genes are similar, the fusion will be much easier.

Ripjaws's combat capabilities are truly lacking, far inferior to Arthur, who can withstand heavy water pressure and lift tens of thousands of tons of submarines to the surface.

Of course, Arthur couldn't unleash such power on land, but the seawater also couldn't grant him much Ripjaws power, let alone the ability to control water like Mera.

The Ripjaws are just one type of alien marine creature.

His only source of pride is probably his set of indestructible sharp teeth and incredibly powerful bite.

On the sea.

The gray mermaid emerged from the water with a splash, transforming back into Ben amidst the spray. Then, he attached a scale he had obtained from the people of the Fishermen Kingdom to his watch.

Ben did want to directly input genes into the seabed, but the Little Broken Watch couldn't be in his transformed state if he wanted to enter Capture Mode. Ben couldn't possibly transform back into his human form in front of those fishmen, not only because he was worried about being discovered, but also because the water pressure at the bottom of the sea was too much for even his current body to withstand.

[DNA genetic information is being recorded. An abnormal genetic similarity was detected between the candidate and the Piscciss Volann, suggesting a possible subspecies resulting from natural evolution. Should gene fusion be performed?]

"Integration."

[Fusion successful, Piscciss Volann genetic optimization successful. Retained luminous head organs and amphibious lower limbs, with enhanced physical strength...]

"Transform, Ripjaws!"

Ben plans to get right to it and see how much of an improvement this gene brings to Ripjaws.

As soon as the gray scales covered his body again, Ben immediately felt a difference in his strength.

The original Ripjaws could only lift objects of his own weight. Even after Ben transformed into Ripjaws and was enhanced by Spider-Man's Superpowers, he was not considered powerful.

Of course, the Ripjaws ' strength will increase somewhat in water, but not dramatically.

And now, his power was simply unbelievable to Ben, it was astonishing, like he had suddenly transformed from Ripjaws into Four Arms!

"Right now, I probably have the strength of several hundred tons with one hand. If I were in the ocean, the currents would make me even stronger. Lifting a submarine weighing tens of thousands of tons like Aquaman would be no problem at all!" Ben's face showed an excited expression.

That's more like it!

That's what makes them Alien Hero specializing in marine environments.

The original Ripjaws were really too weak. Even when placed in an environment that was favorable to it, it didn't have much combat power and was very ineffective when facing enemies.

But now everything has been rewritten.

Ben became the second Aquaman!

"However, Atlantis evolved into seven kingdoms and races. Although they share a common origin, they have evolved in different directions and cannot be classified into one category. I wonder if the genes of the other nations can provide Ripjaws with a cumulative enhancement."

In particular, the crustacean genes of the Brine Kingdom are not even in the same category.

"Perhaps their genes allow Ripjaws to have an extremely hardened Exoskeleton Armor, or perhaps his teeth can be reinforced."

Ben became excited.

With a flick of its tail, it plunged into the sea again.

With each powerful swipe of its tail, a vibration resembling a Mach ring was generated, shattering large amounts of ocean currents and leaving behind countless tiny white bubbles in the deep blue sea. Erta's body plunged into the dark depths like a torpedo.

The flowing water seemed to come alive, daring not to obstruct his path, as if it parted automatically before even touching him.

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

In terms of swimming speed, the people of the Fishermen Kingdom are superior to those of other nations, because their bodies were evolved for swimming faster.

But the ocean current behind him seemed to be propelling him forward.

Although he was far from being able to control the ocean currents, the water flowed as if it were his own arm, making Ben's speed seem like a gray Flash in the water!

He dived deeper and deeper, and the water pressure, enough to flatten steel, had no effect on Ben; the Ripjaws teeth were designed specifically for the deep-sea environment.

The surrounding light grew dimmer, but at this moment, the light-emitting device on his head began to flash, like a lantern lit in the darkness, its beams illuminating the seawater. After a long time, Ben felt the water temperature around him begin to rise. If it were the old Ripjaws, he probably would have found it unbearable, but now, he didn't care.

"Looks like we're almost there."

Next stop: Brine Kingdom.

Considering that seizing the Mother Box might lead to war with Atlantis, Ben plans to first enhance his underwater abilities.

There are plenty of Super Hero who can fight, but that wouldn't be fun.

"Arrive."

He entered the Brine Kingdom with diplomatic credentials given to him by the king, but he did not stay for long. The people here were different from those of the Fishermen Kingdom; they were short-tempered, and if they had not retained their wisdom, they would probably have become beasts like the Trench.

After obtaining a portion of the genes, Ben repeated the same method and returned to the sea.

Let's see what surprises await us this time.

[Gene recording in progress, gene obtained, Orishan gene successfully downloaded.]

"Orishan?" Ben paused for a moment, then turned the icon on his watch.

"This is... Waterhazard?"
