บท 117: You don't look like someone who understands magic...

"What, how did you learn about this?"
The lost trident was underneath, and Mera looked shocked at David.
"I have to remind you that the person who told you this news may not have good intentions."
The Trident of Neptune, which had the power to command the Seven Seas for countless ages, has been lost for thousands of years, was actually located in the habitat of one of the Atlantean tribes?
"No one told me about this."
David looked down and rubbed his chin.
He didn't know what the First King of Atlantis was thinking. He left a series of clues, pointing people to the Sahara Desert, only to eventually lead them back to Atlantis itself.
Why not just say the trident is here? Did he think it wasn't mysterious enough?
"The Trench Tribe is an 'evolved' race of Atlanteans. They lost their intelligence during evolution and turned into monsters, even more powerful than ordinary Atlanteans. Their reproductive abilities have also changed. There are at least tens of millions of them in the deep trench below."
Mera swallowed hard, feeling that David either had no idea how dangerous the Trench Tribe was, or he was a lunatic.
"If you're really as powerful as you say, you don't need the trident to defeat Orm. I suggest you go back and seize the throne."
What she actually wanted to tell David was that he shouldn't drag her along with him if he was seeking death.
"I already believe what you said before."
Mera deeply regretted not taking David seriously when he first made those arrogant remarks; otherwise, things might not have come to this.
"The trident has another purpose for me."
David smiled as if he hadn't heard Mera's words and manipulated the gravity field and crashed into the seabed.
Through the azure waters, they arrived above a wide trench.
The dark abyss of the seabed seemed like a fissure tearing through the Earth, or a deathly eye silently gazing at all the creatures that ventured into this place.
After a brief pause, the gravity field surrounding the two of them rapidly descended.
The abnormal water currents caused disturbances, and the creatures in the deep sea were alerted.
Standing nearly two meters tall, like distorted fishmen, with sharp fins on their backs and elbows, they sliced through the water, roaring on the seabed with cruelty in their eyes, rushing towards the only light at the bottom of the sea.
Under the purple light, with a single glance, one could see that these grotesque monsters seemed endless as they swarmed out of the seabed like a horde of bees, sending shivers down one's spine.
In the deep trench, David remained calm, emitting a purple light from his body like a purple beacon on the seabed. He manipulated gravity to control the water currents.
Gigantic whirlpools were born around him, spreading over hundreds of meters.
Like a deep-sea maelstrom, the Trench Tribe roared and charged, their screams like the cries of ghosts, sending shivers down the spine. But as they were drawn into the rapidly expanding whirlpool, they fell silent in an instant.
The white whirlpool resembled a star ring, surrounding the purple star, creating a beautiful scene.
David calmly and confidently descended deeper into the trench.
The Trench Tribe was sucked into the whirlpool, colliding with each other as if they had entered a giant meat grinder, bones breaking, and blood spreading in the sea.
More Trench Tribe members were stirred up, like moths to a flame, relentlessly attacking any creatures that entered the trench.
As the whirlpool captured too many Trench Tribe members, its strength gradually diminished. Some of the Trench Tribe managed to break through the whirlpool, crashing into David's gravity field and being flung away.
Mera's heart pounded, and her eyes widened as she stared intensely at the countless Trench Tribe members outside, feeling like she could be torn to pieces at any moment.
David clicked his tongue, feeling somewhat regretful.
'Unfortunately, these Trench Tribe members can no longer be called 'human'.'
Just by entering the trench, these Trench Tribe members attacked him as if they had been taken away from their lair, but there was no trace of emotion in their actions.
More and more Trench Tribe members were assaulting the shield.
David began to accelerate, rapidly descending towards the bottom of the trench.
He wasn't concerned about these Trench Tribe members posing a threat to him.
With the ability to manipulate energy, he was like a perpetual motion machine, and his Eternal race physique was not afraid of these creatures' attacks.
In fact, David was confident that he could eliminate all tens of millions of Trench Tribe members living in this large trench.
'It would only take some time, but it's not necessary.'
It wouldn't bring any benefits, and there was a formidable enemy waiting for him below, The Guardian of Trident of Neptune—Karathen, The Sea Monster.
Karathen was a two-kilometer-long monster, an extraordinary being with a body as massive as a mountain and the power to shatter peaks with ease!
'I don't have the ability of Neptune or Aquaman to communicate with underwater creatures, so I have to do it the hard way.'
David's eyes flickered as he manipulated the gravity field shield, which, driven by the surging force, acted like a solid steel ball, crashing downward at supersonic speed, obliterating all flesh and blood creatures in its path.
In the midst of millions of Trench Tribe members, a bloody path was carved.
Mera's shocked mind was difficult to contain. These creatures all had strong bodies capable of withstanding the deep-sea pressure, but before the man in front of her, they were like fragile, blood-red bubbles that burst at the slightest touch.
'Maybe… this surface dweller truly has the strength to surpass Orm?'
In just a dozen seconds, David couldn't even count how many Trench Tribe members he had killed.
Finally, they reached the bottom of the trench.
At the bottom of the trench, a deep and mysterious blue light formed a vortex whirlpool.
"What... what is that?"
Mera exclaimed, "I can sense a powerful magical force from above."
"You actually know magic?"
David raised an eyebrow.
"Surface dweller, in ancient times, the level of advancement of our Atlanteans is beyond your imagination.
When other surface dwellers didn't even know the Earth was flat, we had already mastered technology that harnessed infinite energy. We explored the world, and there are a few secrets we didn't know, including magic."
Mera turned back, and it seemed that the Trench Tribe members were afraid of the power here and dared not approach. She let out a sigh of relief and regained some composure.
"On this matter, I know more than you."
David's surprise wasn't that Atlantis, a high-tech civilization, suddenly possessed magic.
In the DC Universe, there were many different versions of Atlantis's origin. Some said it was founded by extraterrestrial races who arrived on Earth, but there was already another alien race there, so the two races established it together but there was a civil war.
Some had it that it was established by native Earthlings who tapped into the mysterious magic inherent to Atlantis's land, and first developed into a magical civilization… There were even theories about Atlantis's magic coming from the Rock of Eternity.
'Anyway, Atlantis having magic is not surprising; many versions of its origins involve magic.'
"I'm just surprised that you don't seem to look like someone who understands magic."
He continued.
Mera had only demonstrated her talent for manipulating water currents and hadn't shown any magic.
"It's very dangerous there. If we enter, we can't be sure of the outcome."
Although she was angry hearing his words, Mera didn't dare to say anything. She looked at the magical vortex with unease and could tell that David had the intention to enter.
"The outcome is another small world."
David's expression remained calm, knowing the answer to the question.
"There, you'll find the Trident of Neptune and a sea monster as big as a mountain."
