Chapter 241 Zod Arrives

The first thing Kevin did after becoming the king of Atlantis was to meet with the human government on the surface and talk about the Kingdom of Atlantis.

And the compensation for the damage caused by Atlantis to the land.

Yes, you heard it right, compensation.

Some countries, led by the United States, wanted Atlantis to pay compensation after knowing that Atlantis had a new king and that the new king did not want to invade the surface and was a "pacifist"!

When Kevin heard the news, he almost laughed out of anger.

"I said that the land people are a selfish and despicable race."

Arthur, who has now stepped down from the throne and served as Kevin's guard, said indifferently after knowing this.

He shaved his beard and put on the armor that only guards would wear. At first glance, he really couldn't be associated with the previous Arthur.

At this moment, he stood next to Kevin and coldly evaluated the land people.

"You can't generalize. There are still rational people, but... most people are not so rational."

Although Kevin also knew that the land people were greedy, in order to reduce Arthur's resentment towards the land people, he still tried his best to defend the land.

Arthur stopped talking, and he didn't know whether he was making a silent protest or thinking about what Kevin said. He just stood aside quietly like a sculpture.

Mera, who was on the other side of Kevin, whispered:

"They put forward such excessive conditions, should we agree?"

She is not the queen now, but stays here in the name of "the king's assistant" to give Kevin advice.

"Agree? Agree to shit!"

Kevin said unhappily:

"These people are just sick in their brains. Do they really think that they will think everything will be fine after changing the king? How dare they put forward conditions?"

"Uh... I thought you would agree..."

Seeing Kevin's reaction, Mera was very surprised.

She always thought that Kevin was on the side of humans, and even this time she was ready for Kevin to agree to the conditions of humans on behalf of Atlantis.

Unexpectedly, Kevin would reject the conditions from the human side so resolutely.

Kevin explained:

"If humans can be more rational and put forward some conditions that are not too excessive, such as condoling the victims, or helping them rebuild the disaster-stricken cities from a humanitarian perspective...

"These are things that can be solved with money, so I agreed. After all, this matter was indeed instigated by Atlantis, and it is reasonable to help rebuild.

"But look at what is on this list!"

Kevin rolled his eyes and pointed at the words on the paper made of special materials sent down by humans:

"Atlantis is asked to apologize, compensate for their losses, and open the technology of the underwater world to them for research.

"They think they have won this war, right? They dare to put forward such excessive conditions? Give them face! Do you really think that they can sit back and enjoy peace with a new king? Bah! "

Speaking of this, Kevin was also a little angry.

He spent so much effort running around the world to save the billions of ordinary people who were about to be affected by the disaster, not to save those brainless politicians!

If they softened their attitude a little, these politicians would dare to make these brainless demands. They are really not afraid that Atlantis will give them another tsunami.

Kevin's attitude was very bad, but Arthur couldn't help but raise his mouth after hearing it.

Compared to a king who is close to humans, a king with a bad attitude towards humans is obviously more in line with his mind.

But at this moment, as the king's assistant, Mera has a different opinion:

"They want to bargain, this is the usual routine of the transaction."

"I know! But who gave them the courage to bargain? You contact them now and tell them that they can either accept some monetary compensation and get out, or go to war again! Let them choose for themselves! "

Kevin said firmly.

Helping humans is because we don't want too many people to die, but if the people in the underwater world are wronged and in turn pressured by humans, wouldn't this be putting the cart before the horse?

So the land side must either accept compensation or get nothing and fight Atlantis again.

They only have these two options!

And if the two forces go to war again, Kevin won't care about anything this time.

He will immediately return the throne to Arthur, and then return to his own world without looking back.

Anyway, he has already successfully transferred to an advanced profession, so there is no need for him to stay here.

He will stay here purely to see if he can get more skill points.

If necessary, if you think this world It's too troublesome, so troublesome that I don't want to deal with it. Kevin can leave at any time.

It's just some skill points. At most, he can go to the Marvel world to make up for it.

Kevin's attitude is very tough. Mera can only follow Kevin's orders and turn around to connect to the surface network through underwater technology to negotiate with the human government.

Kevin sat on the throne without any image, showing his salted fish appearance without reservation.

Anyway, he will leave soon, and he doesn't care about his image in the eyes of others.

After Mera left, the area around the throne instantly became much quieter.

After a while, seeing that there were not many people around and the nearest soldier was dozens of meters away, Arthur whispered to Kevin:

"I also thought that you would agree to the conditions of humans."

"Then what are the conditions? Didn't I tell you? Human beings have gone too far."

"It's indeed too much. If it were me, I wouldn't even talk to them! Just fight them! Let those land people know what the king's wrath is!"

"I say Arthur, you are indeed a bit too extreme... The whole world is actually a business. You can talk about anything. There is no need to use war to achieve your goals."

Kevin said lazily, seizing every opportunity to change Arthur's stubborn mind.

Arthur asked in surprise:

"From what you say, you are a businessman?"

"Well, barely."

The president of Walter Group is certainly a businessman, or to be more precise, he is a capitalist.

And although Kevin is indeed not very good at business methods, he still understands some truths.

When all resources are sufficient and the resources available to each other do not conflict, there is actually no need for them to start a war.

And doesn’t it cost money to fight?

Not to mention the losses on the human side, Atlantis, which took the initiative to initiate a war tsunami, also dispatched many devices and special magicians that can cause tsunamis.

The energy used by those devices and the props used by magicians when using magic are all consumables!

Just this activation has already wasted a lot of Atlantis' resources.

If this fight continues, God knows how much resources will be consumed.

Even if the seabed is vast and full of minerals, we can't be so squandering it.

Even the stupid sons of landlords would not dare to do this!

So if possible, if we can avoid fighting, we won’t fight. Wouldn’t it be better if we all sit down together, have a good talk, and develop together?

There is no fundamental conflict of interest between humans and Atlanteans. One is in the sea and the other is on land. Neither can develop their own territories. If they have a good discussion on the division of their respective territories, everyone can live in peace.

This is not like aliens who have lost their homeland and must take the earth as their own.

That is a fundamental conflict of interest that cannot be avoided.

The dispute between Atlantis and the people on land is something that can be avoided.

"Eh? That's right." Kevin, who was feeling bored on the throne, suddenly remembered something, and he said rather gossiping:

"I heard from Mera that you met the queen of Paradise Island? And then you fell in love with her? Is this true?"

"?"

When Arthur heard this, he looked at Kevin with a little surprise, and then subconsciously looked in the direction Mera left. Then he nodded and admitted without hesitation:

"There is such a thing. Diana is beautiful, and she is the queen of Paradise Island. If we can marry her, future attacks on land people will be smoother."

"In other words, you like her out of political considerations."

"Not really, I did fall in love with her."

"...What about Mera?"

"I like her too, but now, she is your woman."

Arthur calmly told the truth.

Kevin twitched the corners of his mouth and waved his hands repeatedly:

"No, no, no, no, I don't have a preference for NTR. Besides, I have a fiancée and I don't want to find another one."

"...NTR...what is it?"

"...It's nothing. It's just a special term used by land people. Ahem, in short, there is no way I can marry Mera."

"Because you already have a fiancée? What does this mean?"

"?"

Kevin, who was talking to Arthur, heard a question mark on his head. He raised his head and looked at Arthur, and saw Arthur saying:

"Isn't it common for a king to have multiple beauties accompanying him? Even my father, who has passed away, had two wives. My younger brother Aum was born to him and a woman from the Imperial Guard. ”

"..."

No... wait? Feeling: Wasn’t the king of Atlantis of your previous generation not the queen?

And...you guys in this universe are actually from the same father, not the same mother...

It's a bit messy, I have to sort it out.

Kevin was confused by the information Arthur gave.

But before he could figure out the ethical relationship, he saw Mera running over in a panic with an instrument.

"Kevin—Your Majesty! The land people are in big trouble!"

"What's the trouble? Speak slowly."

Kevin comforted Mera and asked her to relax.

Mera didn't say anything, she just handed Kevin the device that could relay land signals.

Then, under the holographic projection, a big black and white face appeared in front of Kevin.

"Hello Earthlings, you can call me...General Zod."

The owner of that face introduced himself like this.

Kevin's expression became solemn when he heard the name.

Kryptonian Zod.

he came.

…

Things started half a day ago.

While countries around the world were discussing the "compensation" issue for Atlantis, they discovered that a spacecraft from outer space was entering the Earth's atmosphere.

Everyone is sure that this is a spacecraft from an alien planet.

But everyone's reaction to this was not as intense as before.

Even Atlanteans appear under the sea, so what if some aliens appear in outer space?

Although I don’t know why they seem to be connected, you sing and I come on stage, but for people in this world, aliens can no longer surprise them as before.

Until Zod appears.

"Zod? Who is Zod?"

In a bar somewhere in Metropolis, two young men who look like twins are communicating.

They are watching the declaration of the self-proclaimed "General Zod" being broadcast on TV and communicating.

One of the young men with hippie hairstyle whispered to his "brother" who looked exactly like him.

The young man with short hair looked at the TV with a dull look and murmured:

"He is a very bad... very bad person... Damn, what is wrong with this world?"

The short-haired young man, Barry Allen, who came from the future across the timeline, is now almost unable to think straight.

In order to save his mother, Barry Allen went back from the future to the past to save his mother's fate of death.

Originally, this was a good thing. After Barry Allen "came back", he found that his mother was really still alive.

And his father, who was supposed to be in prison, also appeared at home.

This is the future Barry dreamed of.

If...there was no guy who looked exactly like him around him.
