"What?"
Orm was furious.
"Surface-dwellers only ever encroach on our living space. If they find out we exist, they'll invade us!"
He was completely opposed to Atlantis cooperating with the surface-dwellers.
Because they were noble Atlanteans.
It was precisely this nearly foolish arrogance that made Queen Atlanna and Mera look down on him.
"That's just your guess. As long as we bear them no hostility, the surface-dwellers won't attack us either."
Mera said casually.
When she saw that Orm still wanted to say something, Mera cut him off impatiently. "This is the Queen's order. Do you dare question it?"
Queen Atlanna held the royal Trident, giving her absolute power over the lives and deaths of Atlanteans.
No one could resist her.
Orm's face twisted with anger, but he didn't dare say anything more.
All he could do was watch Mera swim away, as beautiful as a mermaid princess.
Mera wore a tight-fitting suit of dark green scales. As she swam, she looked just like a mermaid, her legs undulating like a fish's tail.
After Mera left, Black Manta said to Orm, "The Queen will lead Atlantis into the abyss like this."
"Once humans learn Atlantis exists, they'll bring war here."
"In just over a hundred years, humans have waged countless wars..."
After Black Manta's brainwashing, Orm immediately became more resolute in his belief.
Atlanteans and surface-dwellers could never live in peace.
War between them was inevitable!
"Have people keep a close eye on that submarine. We have to teach humanity a lesson!"
The ocean belonged to Atlantis.
Not to the surface-dwellers!
Ever since Superman's story appeared on television, humanity seemed to have truly entered a New Era.
Superpowered criminals and superheroes had appeared in many major cities.
This also made Batman realize with urgency that Gotham wasn't the only place
