Namor's first reaction was whether his people had gone ashore and done something bad, causing the Apocalypse King to come looking for him to settle the score.
The Underwater Clan had mutated into Atlanteans only after suffering oppression from colonizers and consuming Vibranium herbs.
Therefore, they all harbored some hostility toward surface humans.
Some extremists occasionally attacked humans along the coast, especially pirates and military organizations.
The Atlanteans believed these people were colonizers who oppressed the innocent.
However, they did not hold much hostility toward ordinary civilians.
When those civilians witnessed Atlanteans appearing and killing people, they mistook them for sea monsters. Fearful, they spread many terrifying legends about "Namor."
Namor had simply turned a blind eye and let things take their course.
When he had still been a child, he brought his mother back to her homeland on land for burial and personally witnessed colonizers oppressing his people.
In a fit of rage, he slaughtered an entire group of colonizers, leaving only one priest alive.
His name, "Namor," had also been given to him by that priest. It meant one who no longer longed for the land.
If even their leader was like this, the other members of the Underwater Clan naturally had little goodwill toward surface humans.
What Namor feared was that the people his clan had killed on land might be connected to the Apocalypse King.
If that was the case, not only would his own life be in danger.
The entire Underwater Clan might also face annihilation.
Apocalypse said, "So you recognize me. That makes things easier."
"I was worried that information didn't travel well underwater and that explaining things would take some effort."
Namor hurriedly said, "How could that be? We Atlanteans also have channels for surface information. Apocalypse King, your might shakes all realms.
