*Supes_POV*
Even after I used the life force connection of the Trident while giving my speech, it looks like not everyone is happy that I am becoming the new King. Who would have thought that there are criminal gangs running around inside such an advanced country.
After staying a night in Atlantis, I have come to a deep understanding of how complicated it truly is. Even the ones in power like the Widowers, the Silent school, and the Council though agreeing to me being their King have their own selfish agendas in their mind.
Discrimination against their own race and the hate for the surface world has become the root cause for Atlanteans halted progress and its steady decline. Atlantis looks like a ripe apple but is totally rotten inside.
Even Vulko has substantial hate for the surface world and only cares about the well being of Atlantis in his mind. Looks like after my coronation the power system in Atlantis needs to have a drastic change.
As I was thinking about my plans, Atlanna enters the room wearing a stylish golden dress with her blonde hair in a bun and a collar of jellyfish behind her back. The magenta color from the jellyfish fell on the sparkling golden dress which made her look heavenly.
I watch her walk in front of me and then proceed to kiss her silently,"You look breathtakingly beautiful today, Atlanna."
"Well I wanted to look good on my wedding day", Atlanna answers happily with a smile.
"You are not wearing any armor? At Least wear your blue suit", Atlanna says putting her hand on my bare chest.
Just then Orvax enters with Vulko behind him, "I am giving him an advantage by not wearing any armor", I said looking at Orvax who was wearing a complete black armor with a black helmet in his hand.
"You will be sorry for underestimating me", Orvax growls at me.
"It's time for the fight, sire", Vulko says while giving me a bow.
I hand my Trident to Atlanna and she gives me the golden five-pronged royal trident she has been holding until now. Then she kisses me goodbye, while Orvax grips his three-pronged silver trident tight, trying to hold his anger in.
In the room with the lava surrounding its boundary only we both are present. Orvax shuts his eyes, preparing for the upcoming fight. The war music kicks in and the roof above our heads opens up.
Orvax jumps up, I follow behind.
*Non-Supes_POV*
There was a jam-packed huge stadium with large screens hovering in the air for showcasing our fight. The crowds were screaming loudly seeing the challengers arrive, Jellyfishes were swimming everywhere giving enough lights for everyone.
Way down by the stadium wall there was a giant octopus playing drums, producing the war beats. There was a huge ring of lava surrounding the circular battle stage. It was the ring of fire.
In the royal box on one end, there was King of the Fisherman kingdom, Ricou, with blue skin and fish-like appearance. On the other end was the brownish red-skinned crab-like looking King Rine from the Brine Kingdom. In the middle was princess Atlanna, standing behind her was Volko overlooking the battle.
*Supes_POV*
I swim up, wave at the screaming audience, spread my hands and address them, "People of Atlantis ... Friends from afar … thank you for coming to witness this battle … today in this ring of Fire, we will decide the next ruler of Atlantis by the ancient way … By bloodshed do the Gods make known their wills!"
The crowds go crazy as I settle down on the stage and Orvax looks at me as if he was going to eat me alive, "It was your biggest mistake to leave the trident outsider … Today you will have to pay the price for your arrogance", We bang our tridents in the middle of the stage, "I will kill you in front of her, make her marry me, become the king of Atlantis and then ravage her tonight", Orvax says as he looks at Atlanna in the stands. I just look at him silently.
We both go to the edge of the stage to start the fight. On one side I was standing there with my golden five-pronged trident, wearing black pants bare-chested and on the other end was Orvax with his three-pronged silver trident, covered in black armor.
As soon as the drumbeat picks up, Orvax shouts aloud and jumps high bringing his trident straight at me. People watch in horror as they see Superman just stand there letting the Trident hit him squarely on his bare chest.
Orvax looked stunned as instead of impaling my chest, the Trident did not even make a mark on my skin. I hold his trident from the middle and break it in two with my bare hand as if it was a wooden stick.
Orvax looked down at his broken Trident, still processing what happened as he saw me rise from the ground above him.
I lifted my left hand in front of his face, "Goodbye" and before he could react I flicked my index finger at his forehead.
*Non-Supes_POV*
It produces a sonic boom at the contact and Orvax gets thrown down from the force smashing through the rock stage straight down, and keeps going until he plunges into the lava producing a huge splash of it.
The audience watches the broken stone stage and the calm lava in total silence, too shocked to even realize what transpired just seconds before.
The large hovering screen above the huge stadium shows Superman just leisurely standing there. As the audience looks at him for answers he turns towards Atlanna who was looking at him proudly.
"Shall we get on with the marriage now"
Supes was in a dilemma as the battle was about to start and he hadn't even decided his battle strategy yet.
"Which finger should I use?" Supes thinks hard silently as Orvax tries to provoke him.

*Supes_POV*
Orvax's body along with his armor was dissolved by the surrounding lava in seconds, it gave me flashbacks of Lex. Shaking those images away I proceed to the royal box with people cheering behind me.
I ignore the two Kings and go straight to Atlanna who kisses me passionately, but we are interrupted by Reverend Mother Cetea who informs me that I should get ready for the consequent ceremonies.
I excuse the attendees and follow her, I hear Vulko requesting for people to proceed to the ceremonial hall, where the marriage will be held.
I look back at the old lady I am following, Mother Cetea, the current leader of The Widowhood, wearing her weird purple nun outfit. The Widowhood is the organization for grooming the King's bride to be in her future role as queen, if they consider the bride to be unfit they can even cancel the marriage until they are satisfied.
It's members consisted entirely of widows whose husbands died in the war. Mother Cetea is the oldest and wisest among them. Though their responsibilities look limited, over the years their power inside the palace has increased substantially.
They are also the most loyal out of everyone towards me, as though they believe in the old Atlantean customs, their belief over the Sea god Poseidon trumps that.
I was taken to a chamber where there were the widows ready with my clothes. I did tell them my request yesterday and I was happy that they completed it perfectly.
I got ready in my new suit and went with them towards the hall. There was a big white Scallop shell with golden edges in the middle of a raised platform. This looked more like an open Amphitheatre with how the seats were arranged.
I got to know that only the high borns were allowed a seat and all the normal public were outside the hall watching the proceedings via the large screens.
Atlanna and I came out of opposite sides of the hall and proceeded to the platform. I was wearing the golden-green Aquaman suit, but I had asked the widowhood to make a special white Cape for me with a golden S on it.
Atlanna whispered to me that this new look suited me way better. I just smiled at her as I was already lost in my own thoughts from the moment I saw her walking towards me.
She did not change her looks nor her clothes, I just saw her an hour ago, but I felt that at this moment she was the most beautiful. I hadn't stopped to ponder or spared much thought to marriage, but right now time seemed to stop for me, taking me back to all those lonely nights where I slept alone, where I felt alone, dreaming about my future bride.
We both stood under the shell with reverend Cetea, asking us to repeat after her.
Atlanna looked at me and I looked at her, it felt like we were the only two people present. When I held her soft white hands in mine, I knew that all this was real, that I wasn't just dreaming this on my bed, that I won't be alone anymore and from now on this beautiful blonde would be my life partner, my wife.
As Mother Cetea pronounced us husband and wife, Atlanna threw herself at me hanging by my neck kissing me deeply, I held her waist and closed my eyes tuning everything out and just enjoyed this moment and this kiss.
After which we were taken to the throne room for my coronation. I and Atlanna swam the whole way hand in hand from the hall to the royal palace, with guards surrounding us and people cheering and following us.
Inside the hall, there were even lesser seats with only the top brass and the guests from the other countries present. There was a tall white stone throne at the end of the hall.
As we reached the throne, I slammed my Trident on the ground. The Trident flashed golden and the throne split and reformed into two. There were gasps of surprise from around the hall but I ignored them all and proceeded to sit on my throne with Atlanna sitting happily beside me on a similar throne.
Vulko came with a tray in hand with two crowns on it. Mother Cetea signaled a widow who picked the smaller crown and came by Atlanna's side respectfully. Mother Cetea herself took the bigger crown and came to my side.
"With the Sea God Poseidon as a witness, I crown Superman and Atlanna as the King and Queen of Atlantis" She puts the crown on my head, "All Hail the King and Queen!"
As people were shouting I felt a tremor in the Trident. I look up, outside the palace, outside Atlantis, outside the seas, far in Canada, in a small remote fisherman village, on the top of a lighthouse by its railings, an old white-haired man was standing and staring straight at me.
I could see in his ocean blue eyes that he could see me perfectly, feeling the connection I speak to him, "So you are still alive, the sea god Poseidon."
He smiles at me, "I am just an old man now, who passes his time fishing" I could hear the tiredness in his voice, he takes back his vision and goes back inside "Use it responsibly young child"
I take back my vision and grip my Trident tightly and then release it with a sigh, ignoring the old man for now. I look at the still excited audience and lift my Trident making them peaceful.
I take Atlanna's hand and we both stand up. With the golden crowns and golden Tridents in our hand, we both had an air of royalty making all the people look in awe.
"I promised you that as the King of Atlantis, I will bring you prosperity. As my first step, I will find and reunite the lost Kingdoms and with our new allies we will restore the broken Atlantis once again."
"Can't we just skip these formalities and go to our nuptial chamber?" Supes whispers to Atlanna seating on his throne, thinking excitingly of how long tonight will be
"As the king, this is your duty from today on", Atlanna tells him teasingly.
"We will discuss the rest of the things tomorrow", Supes says suddenly grabbing Atlanna and vanishing from the place.
"Maybe there was an emergency", Vulko tells the confused audience.
