20. Battle of the Kings(2/2)
An orange light wrapped around Merlin's fingers, he said:
"As long as you nod, Vico, I promise, in a few seconds, it will all end, and you don't need to be tangled between duties and feelings."
Vico's hand tightened the joystick in his hand, causing the solid steel to twist. After a few seconds, the old man under the sea breathed a sigh of relief.
He said in a low tone:
"Just execute it as you want."
Merlin nodded.
The next moment, his calm voice rang out on the underwater channel guarded by the Atlantis Legion.
"Namor, and Arthur..."
"The grudges between you and Om, your country are your personal affairs, and you will resolve them by yourself, and no one else will intervene!"
Hearing this, Namo and Arthur looked at each other, and the two brothers held the trident in their hands tightly. They looked at the palace where the palace gate was open, with flames shining in their eyes.
Today, those past pains and entanglements, those memories nightmare, those despairing past...
Everything will be today.
The dust settles!
Meilin's voice spread out quickly along the water flowing over the sea, just like the sound waves of Huang Zhong Dalu.
The cheers of the people under the sea who were still immersed in the parade were like the switch being turned off at this moment.
The whole city was silent, but soon, like Mars dripping into hot oil, making the whole city boil at this moment.
Atlantis adheres to ancient traditions.
When the king is crowned, any member with royal blood can challenge the king's successor.
In ancient times, this was an important part of the alternation of royal powers, but to this day, it has become an ancient and forgotten tradition.
At least the alternation of royal power between Aum's father and grandfather was very harmonious.
Now, after a thousand years, another battle for the throne will begin, and this time there are three people involved!
Can His Highness Om defeat the Challenger?
Will the Kingdom of Atlantis welcome strange rulers?
Hmm...
This boring, unsuspecting coronation ceremony seemed to be becoming more and more interesting.
——————————————
More than ten minutes later, in the "escorts" of several Atlantis legions, Merlin and two challengers of the throne arrived in front of the white, magnificent palace.
On the platform above the hundreds of stairs, four undersea kings were standing there, and Kamataj's mages were standing beside them.
Below the steps, Merlin, holding a golden staff, hovered there, Arthur and Namo stood behind him, and further away, their supporters were blocked outside the door by the palace guards.
Arthur wanted to step up the ladder and meet his younger brother, but was stopped by Namo.
Namo looked at the people on the steps and said softly:
"Don't worry, they'll come down!"
Merlin's face was calm and he had no intention of stepping onto the ladder.
The golden staff in his hand shines with golden ripples in the infusion of magic, just like a projection, projecting the picture of the Atlantis Gate in front of the palace.
"I took this staff from a respectable elder."
The voice of the Raven Maharaja sounded in front of the underwater palace, and he said:
"I have also taken over the responsibility and mission of that elder. I guard the real ancient city of Atlantis. Without my permission, no one can enter the city that still stayed in the first era."
He looked at the kings above the stairs and said:
"Now, do you want me to invite you down?"
The kings looked at each other with the words of the Maharaja. Om had a gloomy face, and he felt ten thousand unwilling.
Merlin did not come today with kindness.
At least that kindness was not for him.
The first thing to do was the lobster king Benboerba. This barbaric guy didn't care about the king's majesty or something.
Those things cannot be eaten.
It moved its huge body and walked down the stairs quickly. Its small eyes stared at the projection above the golden staff, and the blue light curtain guarded by the two Poseidon statues.
That is the road to the ancient city of Atlantis.
Its mind is filled with impulse like a wild beast. If possible, who would want to survive as a wild beast?
But now the technology of the undersea people cannot reverse the reshaping of the body by the fallen energy.
If you can enter the more technologically advanced city of Atlantis, maybe it can find a way to heal the twisted body and soul.
Truly save your tribe members!
Therefore, Benboerba's attitude towards the gatekeeper is the most respectful.
The second person to go down the stairs was King Kuri. This emotional king didn't care about the changes in his body. Over the long period of time, the people of the Fisherman Kingdom had accepted a new appearance.
But as a poet, it has respect for all legends.
What's more, it is standing at the intersection of ancient and present glory.
If lucky enough, it will become one of the first undersea people to return to their hometown thousands of years later.
Ah, what a great epic that should be.
King Zebel hesitated for a moment, and the old father-in-law patted Oum on the shoulder, and then took his charming daughter down the stairs. He leaned over to Merlin, but the Raven Lord turned a blind eye to it.
The mages of Kamataj did not hesitate too much.
If they can be selected as the representative of the supreme supreme, they are naturally close to the ancient masters.
They all knew that there were some secret agreements between the Supreme and the Raven Lord. Although they did not understand, they also respected this Supreme friend.
So, on the steps, there were only Om who was alone in the shadows.
He was stubborn and unwilling to bow to Merlin.
But the Lord didn't care at all.
"I will return the key to the ancient city of Atlantis to the undersea people today."
Merlin let go of his fingers, and his golden staff hovered before the three kings, illuminating their longing eyes.
"But it must be after the birth of the new king of Atlantis..."
Merlin spread her fingers outwards, and he said:
"Arthur Curry, the eldest son of Queen Atlana, Oum's brother."
"Namor Mackenzie, the grandson of King Thakur, the nephew of King Ovax, and the cousin of Oum."
"These two people also have the noble bloodline of Atlantis, and they are also qualified to become kings. Today, with this key in exchange, I ask to reopen the battle for the throne of kings!"
The Maharaja looked at Om, who was chilling all over his body, and he whispered:
"No matter life or death, just seek victory..."
"The surviving one will become the new king of Atlantis."
"Everyone here, for my request."
Chapter completed!
