Chapter 240 New King

Kevin's arrogance made Arthur extremely angry.

Under so many eyes, Arthur, as the king, would not allow anyone to be more arrogant than him!

But after confirming that the fight between the two was inevitable, Arthur raised the trident in his hand and rushed towards Kevin in the water.

Kevin waited attentively. The legendary trident left a golden mark in the waves, and in an instant it collided with Arthur's silver trident!

Ding!

The collision sound effect, which was different from that on land, sounded, with circles of ripples dissipating around.

The trident in Kevin's hand did not move at all, but Arthur's hand felt a strong reaction force shaking his palm.

But Arthur did not stop.

He waved the weapon in his hand again, raised it high, and fell heavily on Kevin again.

There was another dull sound, and the golden and silver tridents collided again.

Kevin blocked Arthur's attack with the handle of the trident, and then he turned the trident and stabbed Arthur with the tip of the gun.

The sharp tip of the trident went straight to Arthur's face. Arthur, who felt threatened, took a step back slightly, and the tip of the trident passed by his eyes with a millimeter difference.

In the sea water, following the flow of the sea water, Arthur changed his body shape, turned around and drove the weapon to hit Kevin's waist and abdomen, but then Kevin dodged the attack by rising his body.

The fight between the two was ordinary at the beginning. They seemed to be testing each other, but every move was aimed at the opponent's vital points.

As soon as they fought, Arthur's heart sank.

Because he found that the "traveler" in front of him who came out of nowhere was not inferior to him in martial arts.

Even because the opponent had a powerful force, Arthur was at a disadvantage in the battle!

If the battle was prolonged and fell into a protracted war, Arthur would definitely lose in the end.

Arthur, who was raised as a king from childhood to adulthood and was proficient in underwater tactics, deeply understood this truth.

So Arthur began to use tricks.

After a staggered dodge, Arthur quickly fell to the bottom of the water, and the tip of the trident pierced into the soft sea water ground, and then exerted force hard to stir up turbid sand and mud underground.

Arthur was very strong, and the seemingly soft sea water ground was actually connected together under the pressure of the sea water. Arthur was forced to lift it up, and in an instant, the entire ground was like a pot lid that was opened, pressing down on Kevin's head!

"Tsk."

The ground blocked Kevin's sight, making him smack his lips in dissatisfaction.

But he did not dodge, and the golden trident swung, and the side of the entire trident came into close contact with the lifted ground.

Bang! !

The hard ground mixed with mud and sand was instantly broken into dust by Kevin, mixed with the surrounding sea water, making this sea area even more turbid.

The battlefield where the two men dueled began to become turbid, blocking everyone's vision, including the vision of the two men dueling in the field.

Kevin's voice came from the turbid sea water:

"As a king, is this the only way you can use?"

"Humph!"

In response to Kevin, Arthur snorted coldly.

He rushed out of the turbid sea water like a swordfish piercing the waves, running straight towards Kevin, whose senses were blocked by the sea water.

Kevin sighed, held the trident with both hands, and whispered:

"You should know that I can control water, right?"

"......?!"

Arthur's golden pupils shrank slightly. He just realized something was wrong and was ready to retreat, but his reaction was still a step too slow.

The turbid sea water began to rotate, and blue magic patterns emerged around the turbid sea water.

They wrapped around the center of the battlefield, stirring the waves of the entire battlefield, and cleared all the sea water in the center of the battlefield, creating a whole vacuum zone in an instant!

The turbid sea water was discharged, and Arthur fell out of the sea water and hit the air-filled space.

Suddenly entering an environment similar to land, Arthur, who was not prepared, failed to expel the water in his lungs and half-knelt on the ground and coughed dryly.

Kevin did not pursue the victory. He stood in the distance with a golden trident in his hand, giving Arthur time to adapt. Until a minute later, Arthur adapted to the environment without sea water, and he re-positioned his posture and said:

"Don't be clever this time, King Atlan."

Arthur knew that Kevin was letting him go, but he said nothing.

Holding the weapon in his hand, Arthur re-positioned his posture and rushed towards Kevin again.

The two men's weapons once again came into close combat, but Arthur, who was not good at land warfare, was no match for Kevin after leaving the sea.

There was no thrilling battle, no back-and-forth battle process.

In just three moves, Arthur was defeated by Kevin.

In the first move, his weapon was blocked by Kevin, and in the second move, his weapon was broken by Kevin.

By the third move, Kevin's golden halberd tip was already against his neck, and the sharp tip was only half a millimeter away from his throat.

"You lose."

Kevin pronounced the result expressionlessly.

It was not a surprising result.

He even held back during this period, hoping to fight Arthur back and forth, but in the end Arthur was easily defeated by him.

With all the power, skills, and weapons crushing him, Arthur had no chance of winning.

"...Yes, I lost."

Looking at the silver trident in his hand that had been broken by Kevin, Arthur responded in a daze.

He may have never thought that his ending would be like this.

Being defeated, and having his throne taken away by someone more qualified to be king, he had not even fulfilled his ideal.

But the winners are the losers, and this has been the case since ancient times.

Arthur did not shamefully say that he did not lose, nor did he order the surrounding armies to besiege Kevin in anger because of losing the duel.

He was not someone who could not afford to lose. Since he lost, he had to accept the current result.

But Arthur was still unwilling.

He looked directly at Kevin and said:

"Humans...are a very cruel group, and now they know the existence of Atlantis. Even if we don't attack them, they will not coexist peacefully with us."

"Maybe, but that's a matter of the future."

What happened between the Atlanteans and humans had nothing to do with Kevin after all.

Perhaps seeing what Kevin was thinking, Arthur closed his eyes slightly tiredly and suddenly asked:

"What's your name?"

"Didn't Mera tell you my name? Well, my name is Kevin."

Until now, Kevin remembered that he hadn't introduced himself.

But he originally thought that Arthur knew his name, after all, Mera had already returned to the Kingdom of Zebel.

But it was obvious that Arthur didn't know his name.

Hearing Kevin's name at this moment, Arthur nodded slightly:

"Okay, Kevin, I remember your name... Then, let's do it."

"?"

"You defeated me, and according to tradition, you are the new king of Atlantis. For me who has committed "war crimes", the best outcome after stepping down from the throne is to be imprisoned in the desert.

"Instead of living like that, it's better to die here, so... do it! Kevin! "

Arthur yelled at Kevin and closed his eyes.

Different experiences and different family education will create different personalities.

Kevin did not know the original Aquaman of the DC movie universe, nor did he know what his personality was.

But what is certain is that he would never take his reputation as a king and the tradition of Atlantis so seriously as he does now.

That is more like what his brother Orm would do.

But now Arthur, the Aquaman who was defeated by Kevin, attaches great importance to the underwater tradition.

The loser will be deprived of the throne, and the end of the deprived of the throne will never be good.

Arthur in front of him did not want to die miserably like a rotten fish in the future. If he had a choice, he would rather die bravely like he is now.

That is also the demeanor of a king.

Arthur's life is in Kevin's hands at the moment.

What to do depends on Kevin's mood.

But Kevin took back the trident and said to Arthur:

"Don't be too extreme. You always say that the people on land are bad in this way or that way. Have you ever been to the land to see it yourself?"

"What do you want to say...?"

"I won't kill you, Arthur, but as a price, you need to accompany me to the land."

Killing Arthur may be very simple. The trident can easily pierce his throat by pushing it forward.

But if Arthur is killed, who will Kevin find to manage the seabed of the DC world?

Will he do it himself?

Before the duel began, Kevin had already thought about it. If Arthur was not as tyrannical as he imagined, and hated humans so much, then Kevin would give him a chance.

And if Arthur was left behind, someone would continue to manage the seabed tribe after Kevin left this world.

"I don't need your pity!"

"This is not pity." Kevin said lightly, taking back the trident in his hand, "I just want to give you a chance."

Arthur in the movie Flashpoint world is different from Arthur in the animated Flashpoint world after all.

Maybe it was limited by means, or for some other reason, but Arthur didn't want to destroy the land immediately at the beginning.

If Kevin hadn't taken Mera away, Arthur might not have thought about attacking the land until Zod arrived.

As for after Zod arrived...

By then, the entire earth would be transformed into Krypton, and they in the seabed would not be able to escape the fate of destruction. Everyone would die, and it would no longer matter whether to attack the land.

Anyway, no matter what, Arthur would choose to attack the land now, and half of the responsibility lies with Kevin.

In this case, Kevin must take some responsibility and temporarily spare Arthur's life, who should not have died here.

Doing so may lose some skill points, but Kevin no longer cares about the skill points that killed Arthur.

And Kevin also understood one thing, sometimes keeping the characters alive would bring greater benefits than letting them die.

Although many people were dissatisfied with Kevin's sparing Arthur's life, this was the order of the 'new king' and they had to obey.

Kevin, holding the golden trident, temporarily became the king of Atlantis.

This is their tradition, and Kevin can only follow the local customs for the time being.

After all, it is impossible to really kill everyone.

"I must have done something wrong to run to the DC world to be the King of the Sea..."

When Kevin put on the armor made by Atlantis for Kevin, sat on the throne, and accepted the worship of the leaders of various countries, Kevin said a string of words in his heart that seemed to be the name of a light novel.

However, despite the complaints, Kevin was still very serious on the surface, doing what a king should do.

Kevin has always believed in doing what he should do in his position.

Since he decided to be the king of the underwater kingdom during this period, he must do his part well.

For example...first represent the kingdom of Atlantis and meet with human leaders.
