Chapter 231: Pursuit

"Aren't you going to find the person you're looking for?"

"No, the most important thing now is not to find her, but to get Atlantis done first."

Kevin wanted to find Supergirl because he was worried that Zod would invade the Earth while he was in the Trench Kingdom to find the Trident, but there would be no superheroes to fight back.

Especially Supergirl.

Although she was killed again and again by Zod in the film and television dramas, the other little Flash in Flashpoint was almost like Savitar. I don't know how many times he saved her, but he still died in Zod's hands in the end.

She seems quite weak in this way.

But don't forget, she just ran out of the underground for less than a day!

In one day, she was able to fight Zod back and forth after just basking in the sun. If nothing else, her potential is at least not weak.

Kevin thought that maybe Supergirl could get more sun for a few days. Even if she couldn't beat Zod, at least she wouldn't die so easily.

As long as Kevin could come back to support her, it would be Supergirl's victory.

Kevin originally had similar ideas, so he thought about saving Supergirl.

But now Atlantis has declared war on the land, which makes Kevin not in a hurry to find Supergirl.

After all, once Zod really comes to Earth, the first people he will face are the Atlanteans.

Zod wants to transform the Earth into Krypton, and he has to ask the Atlanteans if they agree.

Maybe he can drag Paradise Island into the water!

Paradise Island plus Atlantis should be able to delay the Kryptonians for a few days.

Since Zod's problem has been solved for the time being, Kevin must turn his attention to his main task.

Hearing Kevin say this, Mera became hesitant again.

She thought Kevin was going to save people first, so she decided to go back to Atlantis and pretend to be with Arthur.

But if Kevin wants to set out to find the trident now, Mera can wait a few more days.

In a few days, Atlantis and the land people should not develop to the point of full-scale war.

"The location of the Trench Kingdom is far away from here. If we go underwater... we will be easily discovered by Arthur's people. We need a ship."

"Or a plane."

Kevin added.

Going to the Trench Kingdom, even if it is by sea, is not particularly safe, especially when Atlantis has declared war on the land. Any ship traveling on the sea is vulnerable to the attack of the Atlanteans.

So if you don't want the Atlanteans to cause trouble, it's better to hire a private plane.

But this requires a lot of money, and Kevin's money may not be enough.

Unless someone sponsors it.

Kevin just thought of this, and the mobile phone on the table vibrated.

The source of the phone number is unknown, but Kevin has guessed who called.

"Bruce?"

After answering the phone, Kevin asked the person on the other end of the phone.

Bruce's old voice came:

"... I think you should have seen the news."

"Well, so you plan to help us?"

"If things are really as you said, if I help you get the trident, you can settle this dispute, then I will help you...Okay, it's not convenient to talk on the phone, come to my house to meet up."

Bruce's tone was low, and he hung up the phone after speaking.

It must not be an easy thing for Bruce to trust Kevin.

Kevin's origin is unknown. From his conversation with Mera, Bruce can also judge that he and Mera are not the same kind of people.

If Mera is the princess of the country of Zebel, then what is Kevin's identity?

Batman, who was suspicious, really didn't want to believe Kevin, which is why he didn't call Kevin.

But the declaration of war between the sea and the land forced Batman to contact Kevin.

He is old, and with limited information, he can't stop the war between the ocean kingdom and the human kingdom.

He can only rely on Kevin and Mera, the two "Atlanteans" who seem to be on the side of humans.

Kevin could probably guess what Batman was thinking, but he didn't care.

As long as Batman was willing to help him find the trident as soon as possible, Kevin didn't care whether the other party was wary of Kevin or simply formulated a plan against Kevin and Mera.

After confirming Batman's help, Kevin said to Mera:

"Bruce has decided to help me. We should be able to take his plane to the Trench Country. So now... do you still want to go back to Atlantis? Or do you want to continue with me?"

Mera took a deep breath, turned her head and looked at the news on TV again, and made a decision:

"... I don't seem to have any other choice now?"

"Then let's go, don't let Bruce wait too long, by the way... put this on later."

Before leaving, Kevin picked up the hat he bought casually on the roadside and threw it to Mera.

It was also lucky that there were not many people when they ate in this fast food restaurant, and the location was relatively remote, so no one noticed that the princess of the country of Zebel mentioned on TV was here.

But it would definitely not be so lucky after going out.

So at least a certain disguise is needed to avoid provoking the human government.

…

After meeting up with Batman, everyone didn't waste words.

After getting the address of Trench Country from Mera, Batman shaved his beard, changed into his old battle suit, took Kevin and Mera, and took the Batfighter to the coordinates of Trench Country.

On the plane, Mera, who was riding a flying vehicle for the first time, looked out the window with curiosity in her eyes.

She looked down at the land and ocean below through the window, her eyes sparkling.

"So, looking down at the sea from the sky is like this... It's like... Everything has become smaller."

Mera murmured.

The closer you get to the sky, the smaller you feel when you look down at the ground from the sky.

Everything, whether human or Atlantean, is just insignificant dust from the sky.

Not even as good as an ant.

"If you can go to space and look at the earth from the space orbit, what you see will become smaller."

"... Space?"

"Beyond the planet, you should have the concept of planets."

"Yes, but we have never left the earth."

Mera answered truthfully.

When Atlantis was still on land, it might have developed the power to go beyond the planet.

But when the Kingdom of Atlantis sank to the bottom of the sea and all its members became underwater people, their vision could no longer extend beyond the sky.

The vast seabed is everything to them.

So even though Atlantis has extremely advanced underwater technology, if they really want to fight people on the ground or in the sky, they can only think of using ancient water magic to erode the ground.

Or let the continent sink into the sea.

But they never think of attacking from the sky.

Because that is not their area of ​​expertise.

Of course, this does not mean that they really cannot deal with enemies from the sky. Not being good at sky combat and not being able to shoot down enemies in the sky are two different things.

Mera and Kevin are talking. Batman, who is acting as a driver, hears the conversation between the two and says to Kevin:

"Hearing you say that, have you been to space?"

"Yes, I have been to other planets and dealt with people on other planets."

Kevin did not hide this.

Although the alien planet Kevin went to is the Marvel world and has nothing to do with the DC world, Kevin has been to outer space after all, so he has a say in this regard.

"So you are not from Atlantis."

"It doesn't matter, Batman. What matters is that I will help you through this difficult time."

There are not many people Batman can rely on now. If he wants to solve the problem of Atlantis, he can only rely on Kevin and Mera.

Or, he can only rely on Kevin alone.

After all, even if Mera is handed over now, Atlantis will not stop declaring war on humans. If Atlantis wants to stay dormant, it still needs a stronger force to suppress them.

And if the legendary trident that Kevin said really has the ability to command the entire ocean world, and Kevin can successfully obtain the trident.

Then there is no doubt that Kevin is the "powerful force" that Batman needs.

The premise is that Kevin will really help humans after getting the trident as he said.

Batman still doesn't trust Kevin.

Princess Mera of the Kingdom of Zebel is another story. Kevin is full of lies and is really not trustworthy.

But there is no way. Now Batman has no other choice except Kevin.

"High-energy reaction detected on the seafloor--"

After flying for an unknown amount of time, Batman in the Batfighter suddenly spoke up in the sky.

On the way to the Trench Country, the radar system of the Batfighter detected a high-energy reaction on the seafloor.

This is undoubtedly technology from Atlantis.

Because the seafloor route below needs to be detected, the fighter basically flies close to the sea, not far from the sea surface.

So the Atlanteans discovered the Batfighter in the sky, and as if they had confirmed something, they launched an attack without even a greeting!

The high-powered water cannon broke through the sea surface and rushed straight into the sky. Batman only had time to remind Mera and Kevin behind him, and then he had to control the fighter to maneuver in the sky to avoid the attack from the seafloor.

"How far is it from Trench Country now?"

Kevin turned his head to ask Mera. Mera looked at the seabed map designed for her on the fighter plane and said very quickly:

"Not far! But the problem is that we can't go down to Trench Country at all!"

"Don't worry about this problem! We can just jump down when the time comes!"

"Jump down?!" Mera was shocked: "Do you know what you are talking about! Going deep into the hinterland of Trench Country without sufficient preparation is suicide!"

"Then do you have any other way now?"

"..."

Mera was silent immediately.

Batman heard the brief quarrel between the two and knew that the two had reached a "consensus" to some extent, so he said to the two:

"Since the decision has been made, I will speed up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Batman pushed the power rod in the fighter plane violently. With the huge push back force, the fighter plane accelerated again and reached the maximum speed of two Mach in a short time!

The speed of Atlantis' underwater technology is indeed fast, but compared with the bat fighters that can fly in the air, their speed is still a bit slower.

In just a few seconds, the Batfighter, which reached its maximum speed, had already left behind the underwater aircraft below.

But even though he had left behind the high-tech device from Atlantis, Batman's expression was not relaxed at all.

Because just a few seconds after the Batfighter accelerated, a black dot was gradually approaching the fighter on the radar.

The black dot was very small, and it could easily catch up with the Batfighter, which was already moving at full speed underwater!

Batman immediately asked Mera when he saw this:

"Does Atlantis have any other secret weapons?"

"What?"

"Something is catching up!"

"It's Aquaman Arthur!"

Kevin, who used his deep-sea perception to observe the bottom of the sea, was also surprised:

"Is he so fast in the sea?"

The person who caught up underwater was actually Aquaman Arthur himself.

He held the Pentadent of the Kingdom of Atlantis, and his feet were pushed by the sea water, shuttling underwater at a speed not inferior to that of the Bat Fighter!

The speed of the Bat Fighter is now a little more than Mach 2. Since Arthur can catch up with the Bat Fighter, it proves that his speed has also reached Mach 2!

Arthur in the movie has never shown such a high speed!
