Treating Me Like Purple Mood, Are You?

Have I become Aquaman?

Ben paused for a moment, thinking of Felicia, Looma, Spider-Gwen...

From this perspective, calling himself Aquaman" doesn't seem like a big problem.

What Aquaman!

All I wanted to do was give them a home!

However, Mera seemed convinced that Ben was the destined Atlantis King, capable of unifying the seven seas and restoring glory to the underwater world.

Seeing that Ben seemed to want to leave, she quickly blocked Ben way.

"Wait, where are you going? Take me with you!"

Ben:???

No, sis, are you going to pay me to join you?

Ben scratched the light-emitting device on his head, not quite understanding. Ever since he became Ripjaws, he found that his charm seemed to have increased. The Princess of the Fishermen Kingdom was secretly flirting with him, and even Mera was thinking of throwing herself at him.

What's going on? Your tastes are just so unique, aren't they?!

"If I remember correctly, you were just saying I was here to kidnap you, weren't you?"

Is that true?

Mera's expression changed instantly, and she immediately slammed the bracelet Orm had given her onto the ground, indicating that she had forgotten what had just happened.

"Break the bracelet and leave with another man. Aren't you afraid that the Atlantis Kingdom will blame everything on the Xebel Kingdom? Your father will probably be very disappointed."

"No, he'll be happy that I made the right choice."

Mera shook her head.

"Anyway, this is a political marriage. My father only wants to bring more benefits to the Xebel Kingdom. Whether or not she marries King Orm is completely unimportant."

Mera said, "I'm only here to be the county magistrate's wife; I don't care who the county magistrate is."

Moreover, in her view, Ben was not a county magistrate, but a sea god who would rule the seven seas in the future, which was much better than following Orm, that gloomy mama's boy.

As for Ben's appearance...

She glanced at that ashen face, which looked like a dead fish that had been rotting for weeks.

Oh well, I can transform anyway. The previous land-dweller looked pretty cool, so there's nothing to worry about.

As for Ben's claim that Orm might take his anger out on Zebel, Mera wasn't worried. In fact, she thought it was the other way around: Nereus had entrusted his daughter to Orm, but before the wedding even took place, Orm had lost her. It was Orm who needed to give Nereus an explanation!

Mera had accepted Ben's identity and naturally could no longer tolerate Orm's subservience.

She became excited, her rose-colored hair cascading down.

"What are you planning to do next? Ignite the Fire Ring and challenge Orm to the throne?"

"I didn't intend to do that."

Ben rolled his eyes and turned to leave.

However, Mera misunderstood, nodding in agreement and saying, "That's right. Even for you, challenging Orm is impossible. No one will acknowledge your identity because you don't have royal blood, unless... unless you can produce the trident!"

Poseidon Trident.

When this name is mentioned, Ben immediately thinks of a certain 108-pound Tang Dynasty sea god.

However, to avoid heading down a path to his death, he quickly interrupted his reverie and then remembered the artifact from Aquaman.

Despite being called a divine weapon, the trident didn't perform much in Arthur's hands; it was rather unremarkable, except that it was slightly more sturdy than other tridents.

But in reality, that weapon did indeed contain immense power.

The former Atlantis King caused the Atlantis to sink into the sea because he tried to use the power of the trident to research Infinity energy.

Now that Mera had brought up the weapon, Ben had become somewhat interested.

And coincidentally, he also knew that the location of the trident was the Dark Sea where the Trench lived, and that Aquaman's mother, Atlanna, was also in that place.

My goal is to obtain the Mother Box.

Ben began to speak.

The trident is indeed impressive, but there's no rush. We can get the item after we leave Atlantis, since we won't be there to collect it.

However, with the Mother Box right in front of him, Ben naturally had to prioritize the Mother Box.

"Mother Box?"

Mera paused, momentarily unable to recall what the Mother Box was. After a while, she realized what it was and asked curiously, "What do you need that useless thing for?"

The famous Mother Box was nothing but a useless thing in Mera's eyes.

"Fine, if you want it, you must have your reasons."

Mera gave up thinking.

She saw Ben as the one who could rule Atlantis, the future king of the underwater world, so everything he did made sense.

The king wants to take one of his treasures—is that even a big deal?

"Elbow, come inside with me—no, I'll take you there!"

Mera readily agreed to be their guide.

An ordinary resident of Atlantis might not know the whereabouts of the Mother Box, but Mera is different. As Princess of the Xebel Kingdom, she also knows some secrets.

The Mother Box is not located within the Atlantis Kingdom, but in an ancient ruin outside the Seven Kingdoms, guarded by its own independent guards.

The thought of soon getting rid of a man she didn't love at all and embarking on a new and exciting adventure made Mera eager to go.

So much so that even Ripjaws Teeth's face became more pleasing to her eyes.

"Upon closer inspection, it's actually quite... unique!"

Ben:...

Mera knew the whereabouts of the Mother Box, which saved Ben trouble. Moreover, he wasn't afraid of causing a commotion; in fact, Ben had originally planned to kidnap a member of the Atlantis Council of Elders.

That's what you call making a mess of things.

Where are we now?

It's just that he took your fiancée away, Orm, you'll have to bear with it.

"At least your bed will be clean and tidy; you should thank me!"

"Quickly transform into that big fluttering moth and sneak me out. Whatever you do, don't let the guards find out, or Orm will definitely send a large number of soldiers to chase us." Mera said, while bending over and sticking out her buttocks, peeking out through a crack in the door.

Ben glanced at it; from a geometric point of view, the buttocks were quite rounded.

He quickly averted his gaze and calmly stated, "That's Big Chill, and it can't bring other life forms into the phase space."

"What should we do then?" Mera withdrew her gaze and asked with some worry, "It's too dangerous to force our way in; Atlantis has a very strong military."

"Simple."

Ben snapped his watch shut, and the next moment, a sticky mass suddenly opened up and enveloped Mera.

Ben, now transformed into Super-Kill, clung to Mera's delicate skin like something out of a comic book. The Bingbing, refreshing touch made Mera blush instantly.

"Wait, it itches so much, why is it itchy even there... ugh..."

Mera sat weakly against the wall, her legs together, her face flushed.

As expected of a fish-man, they're so juicy.

"Can you stop with your water magic now? It's not pure water, it's sticky and a bit salty." Ben stuck out a black head, his scarlet tongue wiping his face with lingering satisfaction.

"I didn't!" Mera retorted loudly.

"You were the one who pressed the switch! Don't blame me!"

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Ben realized belatedly that he had accidentally pressed the water pipe switch, and at the same time, he controlled his body to Mimic an eye at the switch location and connected it to his nerves. He discovered that he had indeed accidentally pressed the water pipe switch, and water was bound to come out.

"I've only possessed one person before you, so I'm not very skilled at it."

He began to defend himself, while thoughtfully trying to avoid the rift valley.

Unexpectedly, Mera was unhappy about it.

"Why was it moved?"

"Aren't you feeling unwell?" Ben asked curiously.

"No... it feels... comfortable..."

Mera blushed.

This was a completely new version she had never tried before. She had no idea that the little switch could give her this kind of experience. Now, after her first experience, she was reluctant to stop.

"Please continue to intensify your efforts!"

"I will control the water magic!"

Mera said she tried her best to close the valve.

For the Princess the Xebel Kingdom, who can control water flow, it should be a piece of cake... right?

Mera wasn't actually very confident.

After all, the sensation of electricity flowing through her body left her completely blank, forgetting that she could use magic. Otherwise, she wouldn't have lost her composure like that.

"You little brat... you think I'm some kind of purple mood, huh?"

Ben was speechless.

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

Oh well, a leaky front door is much better than a sewage leak from the back door.

As long as you don't poop, and if you do, don't poop in my pocket, I'll do whatever you want.

Looking down at the black battle suit that clung tightly to her, Mera felt a tingling sensation, blushed, and pushed open the door.

Although it felt like she was being stuffed with a vibrator, Mera was Superman after all, and a small switch had no effect on her movements. Apart from needing to concentrate at all times and control the amount of water flowing out, there was nothing else to it.

This left Ben slightly disappointed.

When you were a child, you would get scolded for wetting the bed, but when you grow up, you're praised for it.

Princess Mera, what brings you here?

Mera hadn't gone far when she was spotted by Vulko, who was deep in thought.

"Mr. Vulko?"

Mera was slightly startled, as if struck by Flash, and her body involuntarily twitched.

Are you alright?

"Your face looks a little flushed, and your steps are a bit unsteady. Are you feeling unwell?" Vulko thought Mera was sick from not being used to the new environment.

"Please wait a moment, I will summon a doctor for you."

"No, no need..."

Mera quickly denied it.

Although she hadn't tried it herself, she knew what her actions meant, and it would be terrible if she were discovered.

Even though Mera had decided that she would not marry Orm, but instead planned to marry Ben, who was likely to become the King of the Seven Seas, the engagement had not yet been dissolved, and she was still nominally Orm's fiancée.

"I'm just feeling a bit bored, so I'm planning to go out for a walk."

"I see."

Vulko nodded, without giving it much thought.

He's preoccupied with his own worries and doesn't have much energy to focus on others.

Orm is determined to start a war, not only intending to attack the land, but also wanting to strike at the Brine Kingdom first. If this continues, Atlantis is very likely to become the common enemy of several other countries under their rule.

But Arthur, the only one who could stop him, is completely indifferent to everything in the underwater world.

The two passed each other, and before Mera could even catch her breath, she noticed Ben had shifted to second gear below. She was so startled that she almost cried out and lost her balance.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing. I was so startled, I almost thought I saw Norman Osborn."

Ben answered in Mera's mind.

The more he looked at Vulko, the more familiar he seemed. He had a feeling that there was an evil quality hidden in Vico's face, as if he would put on a ghost mask and pull out Pumpkin Bomb at any moment.

Upon closer inspection, Ben realized that Vulko's face looked remarkably like Norman Osborn's.

However, he didn't care. After all, those who know, know. To put it scientifically, it's a parallel universe. To put it in terms of breaking the fourth wall, it means that the two characters are played by the same actor.

After separating from Vulko, Mera encountered several more groups of guards, but because of her noble status, no one dared to make things difficult for her.

Soon, Mera and Ben boarded a fish-shaped underwater submarine.

"The Mother Box isn't located inside the King's Palace; we need to leave through the entrance first," Mera said.

Ben slowly peeled away from the other's swaying figure, transforming back into his original form in another empty space on the submarine.

Mera suddenly felt empty; her alluring eyes were filled with affection, and her face was full of resentment—it was clear she wanted it.

However, after looking closely at Ben's face, she became satisfied.

"Is this how you are naturally?"

Ben looks much more handsome now. Compared to that ugly thing called Ripjaws, he's even inferior to Orm.

The thought of marrying him in the future made Mera feel completely accepting of it.

Guaranteed to make money!

"Hold on tight, we're off!"

The spaceship started up, Mera passed through layers of blockades, quickly leaving the Atlantis Kingdom and heading to a desolate sea area.

The two chatted as they moved through the spaceship, gradually becoming acquainted.

Although the order of eating abalone first and then getting to know each other is a bit strange, it's just a small detail and shouldn't be taken too seriously.

"Once you get the Mother Box, we'd better hurry and find Poseidon Trident. Only with the Trident can you rightfully become the King of the Seven Seas," Mera said. "Then I can become the Queen, and the Xebel Kingdom won't have to worry about the Atlantis Kingdom holding us accountable."

Ben propped his chin on his hand and looked at her sideways.

He did not object to Mera's unilateral decision to marry him, but calmly asked:

"Is your only plan to be a princess?"

"What's the meaning?"

Why don't you become the Atlantis King yourself?

"What? I'm the king?"

Mera slammed on the brakes and turned around in surprise.

This was an ending she had never imagined, and something that had never happened before in the entire Atlantis.

Why not?

Ben countered with a question.

"Forget it, I don't want to be a king."

Mera shrugged. She had no interest in it. If she weren't Princess of the Xebel Kingdom, she wouldn't have to bear those heavy responsibilities and would have been living a free life long ago.

Ben nodded, seemingly unconcerned.

Anyway, he himself would never stay in this crappy place of DC to be some kind of Aquaman, and as for whether Mera would be willing, he didn't know.

If all else fails, there's always a real Aquaman who can step in.

Arthur: Damn it, you were thinking of me while you were working, weren't you?

"We've arrived. The Mother Box is just ahead."
