But soon, her desire to watch the show was shattered.
Eric stood in the air, ignoring her, and turned his gaze to the King of the Sea next to him.
"Arthur, you are the King of Atlantis now, right?"
Facing Eric's interrogation, Arthur was silent for a moment, then replied, "Yes."
"Then do you remember our agreement?"
"I remember."
Arthur replied to Eric in a low tone.
He wasn't the kind of person to renege on a promise. Since it was a promise he made, no matter how disadvantageous it was to him, he would not try to deny it.
This was inconsistent with the creed he had always upheld.
"Very good, since you admit it now, then give up the position of Lord of Atlantis!"
Eric said to the conflicted King of the Sea with a poker face.
"I..."
A conflicted and pained expression appeared on his face. He was silent for a moment, then looked up at Eric and replied, "Sorry, I can't do that now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Eric activated his super speed, flew in front of him, and stared at him with an unfriendly gaze: "So you intend to go back on your word?"
"No! I don't intend to, it's just that this isn't something I can decide. Even if I were to give you the position of King, my people would not agree. They would not allow someone without Atlantean blood to become their King."
The King of the Sea said to Eric, "I will fulfill my promise in my own way, but this might be a somewhat lengthy process."
"Lengthy process?"
After repeating the phrase, Eric said to him, "Since it's a lengthy process, I won't pursue this promise for now."
He turned his gaze to the chaotic battlefield, "But how do you explain all this to me?!"
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the King of the Sea by the neck, lifting him into the air.
"Your people and the sea monster hurt my people, and on my territory. Can I consider this a provocation against me?"
The red light in Eric's eyes intensified, about to shoot Heat Vision at the King of the Sea in the next second.
Feeling the imminent threat of Death, the King of the Sea showed no fear or panic. Instead, his face flushed as he looked at Eric, struggling to force out a few words from his throat.
"They struck first!"
"Who?"
"Those guys were hunting whales, and without restraint. I was going to punish them. I... I didn't want to cause conflict!"
Arthur tried to answer him in a tone that wouldn't anger Eric.
"Is that so? But I saw you attack humans first, and summon the sea monster!"
Eric spoke, while increasing the strength in his hand.
Arthur immediately felt a painful gasp.
"That was not my intention, I didn't want to cause this conflict!"
Arthur continued to explain to Eric with difficulty.
"Is that so, Arthur? Then you should be more sensible!"
Seeing the other party's cooperative demeanor, Eric released his grip on the other party's neck. "You should understand, whether it's the land or Atlantis, I can control it, if I want to!"
The King of the Sea looked at Eric, rubbed his throat, and said, "I understand you. In that terrible disaster, you lost your father and your friend."
"I know what that means to you. Perhaps you haven't realized it, but your dynasty has already begun. But the Atlanteans do not want to participate in the establishment of your dynasty. We can have our own autonomy!"
"Eric!"
As the King of the Sea was speaking, Wonder Woman handed him a communicator, glared indignantly at the King of the Sea, and said to Eric, "Something unexpected has happened."
"What?"
"Atlantean armies have appeared all over the world."
Wonder Woman replied.
Eric glanced at the equally surprised King of the Sea and put on the communicator.
Betty, the "Little Detective," reported the emergency to him.
"The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, Dubai in the United Arab Emirates—large numbers of well-trained armies from the ocean have appeared in these places. These strange armies are marching towards human cities, and they are driving humans out of the cities!"
After hearing Betty's report, Eric turned his gaze to the King of the Sea.
Heat Vision shot from his eyes, instantly blasting the other party away.
The King of the Sea grunted and fell heavily into the ocean.
"Arthur, you have started a war. I will destroy your entire kingdom! Destroy all Atlanteans!"
The light of destruction flickered in Eric's eyes.
"It's time to let all those who intend to resist me see what kind of power they are facing!"
