"Sea God?"
"Poseidon?"
All the Atlanteans were stunned.
Given the people's worship of the royal family, they should have believed whatever Atlanna said. Moreover, the Atlantean royal family was originally the spokesperson for the Sea God, so they would not question Atlanna's statement.
But the idea of the Sea God Poseidon being a yellow man was a bit ridiculous no matter how you looked at it, right?
Fang Yuan clearly sensed the confusion of the Atlanteans and immediately complained in his heart, "Making a fuss over nothing."
The Little Mermaid has become a Black girl, so why can't Poseidon be of Chinese descent?
Black people can pop up among the Norse gods, so what's wrong with a yellow person among the Greek gods?
Anyway, the Greek gods were famously 'yellow'... After a period of astonishment, many Atlanteans began to believe in Fang Yuan's identity.
Not only because of their blind following of the royal family, but also because of the weapon in Fang Yuan's hand.
"Is that the legendary golden trident?"
"Is it really My Lord Sea God?"
"Impossible!" Karshon shouted from within the spaceship, "He is absolutely a fake!"
But no matter how hoarse Karshon screamed, her cries could never escape the spaceship.
Not only her, but the other Council Members were the same. When Atlanna first appeared, their communications had already been intercepted by Bruce.
This was the moment for the Black King and Batman to close the net. How could they let this group of Council Members come out and ruin things?
Due to the lack of opposing voices, more and more Atlanteans began to be fooled, but some remained very skeptical.
After all, although the weapon in Fang Yuan's hand was shaped like the golden trident, who knew if it was made of plastic without seeing it used?
So Fang Yuan gripped the trident with one hand and swung it a few times. The ability of Marine Life Connection was rapidly amplified through the trident. Instantly, all the fish around the army were controlled by Fang Yuan, swimming around him continuously as if he were truly the master of the ocean.
This move immediately awed the entire Atlantis.
Controlling marine life was an ability only possessed by the first king of Atlantis, Atlan!
Therefore, even if the person in front of them was not Poseidon, he was at least of the legitimate Atlantean royal bloodline. Coupled with Queen Atlanna's personal confirmation, more than half of the Atlanteans instantly recognized Fang Yuan's identity as the Sea God.
What surprised them didn't stop there.
Since he was displaying divine miracles, Fang Yuan certainly wouldn't stop at such small feats.
He spread his Telepathy, projecting his voice into the minds of every Atlantean.
"I have slumbered for a long time, consuming countless divine powers to return to Earth from the Divine Realm. I did not expect Atlantis to have become like this!"
Speaking inside their own minds?
Countless Atlanteans whispered to each other, and after confirming that others had heard it too, they were immediately certain.
Such mysterious and unpredictable means could truly only be accomplished by a god!
It wasn't that the Atlanteans' brains were abnormal from soaking in seawater for too long; they were originally a vassal nation of Poseidon and could easily accept Poseidon's existence.
So upon hearing Fang Yuan's reprimand, the Atlanteans all lowered their heads.
Although the current state of Atlantis was not their fault, they had to accept it when a god spoke.
"However, I have been away from Earth for too long after all, so I will not hold anyone accountable," Fang Yuan's tone softened, and he immediately sensed feelings of gratitude welling up in many people's hearts.
This is the art of push and pull.
Reprimand first, then speak some soft words, combined with a high status—PUA achieved effortlessly.
At this time, there should be a 'but'—
"But!"
Fang Yuan's tone shifted, and he spoke sternly again: "Speaker Karshon's conspiracy to harm the King and betray the kingdom is a heinous crime and must be severely punished!"
With a light flick of his finger, a large hole was torn in Karshon's spaceship. Several pieces of metal tightly wrapped around Karshon, manipulating her body into a kneeling position of repentance, moving her slowly in front of the live broadcast camera.
Karshon was naturally unwilling, but she couldn't move at all, and she couldn't even speak.
The other Atlantean Council Members who could speak were scared witless at this moment.
Judging from the few moves Fang Yuan had shown, even if he wasn't the Sea God, he was an extremely powerful ability user. With the support of Atlanna, the titular Queen, they were simply no match for him.
But since it concerned their lives and fortunes, the Council Members could only make a desperate final stand.
Well, let the subordinates fight to the death while they prepared to run away.
But suddenly, Fang Yuan's voice rang out in all their minds.
"If you return to my embrace, I can choose not to hold you jointly liable."
Council Members: "What Council Member? Call me a believer of My Lord Sea God!"
Believe Fang Yuan is the Sea God, or believe they could survive in Fang Yuan's hands?
There was no choice at all.
In the next moment, many Atlantean Council Members spoke up one after another, claiming they would fully support Poseidon's orders and that scum like Karshon must be severely punished!
Save their lives first, then consider matters of interest when there's a chance later.
Fang Yuan wasn't worried about them causing trouble later; anyway, Batman would be there to deal with them.
Karshon had originally hoped these people could be firm for once and give her a chance to escape, but she didn't expect them to flip so quickly.
Fang Yuan clenched his fist, and the [Laufey Template] activated, directly freezing Karshon into a dead fish in public.
Thus, the internal strife of Atlantis was perfectly quelled, and Fang Yuan gained preliminary control over Atlantis.
But this was only the beginning, because besides internal strife, Atlantis also had external threats.
The army of the Xebel Kingdom had already reached the border of Atlantis.
Of course, the upheaval in Atlantis was also known by Nereus.
"Poseidon? The golden trident?"
"Atlanna?"
Nereus frowned deeply.
How long has it been and the situation in Atlantis has already stabilized? How was he supposed to take advantage of the situation?
After thinking for a long time, Nereus still didn't want to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"I don't believe things would be such a coincidence. This Poseidon is very likely not real!" he thought.
Rather than the descent of the Sea God, he preferred to believe this was a ruse played by Atlanna to return to the throne.
"Attack!" Nereus ordered decisively, "We must protect Atlanna and defeat the Council's army!"
It must be said that an old fox is an old fox; Nereus had already given himself an out in the military order.
If he couldn't win, he would say he came to crusade against Karshon.
However, facing the army of the Xebel Kingdom, there was no movement from the Atlantean side.
Nereus was suddenly delighted.
"They really are bluffing!"
But as they rushed to the border of Atlantis, Nereus noticed something was wrong.
"Wait, when did the border wall of Atlantis get so high?"
"No!" After the sensors finished scanning the shape of the obstacle ahead, Nereus suddenly cried out in terror, "This giant sea monster, this appearance..."
"Karathen?"
