The Atlantean royal family has been passed down through generations because of the power of their bloodline. They are the true darlings of the ocean. Legend has it that the first king was the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea. It is because of the sea god's bloodline that the royal family possesses all sorts of incredible superpowers.
The rumors are a mix of truth and falsehood; some believe them, some don't, but the facts are undeniable: the royal family is truly powerful. If the fighting strength of an ordinary Atlantean is equivalent to that of one person, then the fighting strength of the royal family is equivalent to that of a thousand people, or even more.
The ranking of national power has never taken into account the royal family. For example, Orm's father, Ovax, was legendary for his invincibility, but he was hanged in front of his wife, Atlanna.
This is the power of blood ties and family affection.
Vico bowed and asked, "Your Highness, what do you intend to do?"
"The king is not afraid of any challenge."
Om walked to the weapons rack, put on his armor, and picked up the weapon his father had left him: "Order the western troops to assemble on the coast and be ready to attack at any time."
Viko was shocked: "Your Highness, how can this be?"
Om raised his head and said, word by word.
"The greatness of Atlantis does not tolerate provocation. Since the land dwellers dare to conquer Mera, they must be prepared to be swallowed by the giant waves. The war has begun."
"Land dwellers must pay the price."
...
East of Hawaii, high in the sky, piercing through clouds and fog, a black plane is flying rapidly from west to east.
Inside the cockpit, Xu Fu lay on the soft, comfortable sofa, crossed his legs, and yawned listlessly.
Across from him sat a worried Mela and a speechless Carol.
"I really don't know what you were thinking when you kidnapped me. I am Princess Zebel. Do you know what kidnapping me means? Aren't you afraid of triggering a war between the sea and the land?"
Xu Fu picked at his earwax and said casually, "Don't worry, it's okay, I know what I'm doing."
"Damn, he knows what he's doing!"
Mela rarely swore, which showed how badly she was in her mood. "Om has been looking for an excuse to attack this land, and you're playing right into his hands. If he launches a war regardless of the consequences, let's see what you do then."
"Then let's change the king."
"another?"
Mela frowned, then suddenly remembered something, her eyes darting around: "You know that bastard?"
Xu Fu nodded.
“I wasn’t sure before, but now that I’ve circled the ocean floor, I have a clear goal.”
"Who is he? Where is he? Tell me."
Xu Fu rolled his eyes upwards, let out a long yawn, and said...
"Your Highness, you are a hostage now, do you understand? A hostage must be prepared to be a hostage. I have already treated you to good food and drink, what more do you want?"
"Let the hostages go to hell!"
Mela snorted, and thinking of the impending consequences, she couldn't help but say something.
"Xu Fu, tell me what your plan is. I really don't want a war to break out between our two races."
Chapter 1366 The Holy Duel
Carol did not understand Xu Fu's actions.
Orm was, after all, the ruler of Atlantis, commanding millions of soldiers. The fact that he would go to war in anger over a kidnapping case made the outcome truly unpredictable.
However, she didn't ask how Mela was doing: having spent a long time with Xu Fu, she knew his behavior very well. Since he dared to do such a thing, it meant he was prepared to deal with any unexpected situation.
At this moment, Butler 1 stepped out of the cockpit and said...
"Young Master, we have arrived at the agreed location."
Xu Fu opened his eyes: "What's the situation there?"
"Warships, submarines, and a large number of Atlantean soldiers have surrounded the island for dozens of nautical miles."
Xu Fu chuckled softly and shifted his gaze to him.
"It seems your fiancé is taking good care of you!"
"He is not my fiancé!"
Mera snorted, paused, and then said, "I don't know what you're up to, but I have to remind you of one thing: Om is a member of the royal family, unlike ordinary people. You'd better get that straight."
"Is he strong?"
"You'll see when you fight. Winning won't be easy, and even if you do win by chance, the surrounding armies won't let you go." With that, Mela put her hands to her head, looking helpless.
"I still don't understand where you got the courage to kidnap me. You're a lunatic. And you, Carol, why didn't you try to persuade him?"
Carol waved her hand: "I tried to persuade him, but it was no use!"
"Alright alright."
Xu Fu was too lazy to listen to their nonsense. He opened the hatch and jumped from a height of a thousand meters.
Night fell, and before we knew it, it was 7:50 p.m., ten minutes earlier than the agreed time.
On an unnamed island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the tides surged and a giant deep-sea crocodile dragon appeared in the roaring waves. Om stood on its back, indifferently surveying his surroundings.
This is an isolated island, not large, less than 50 square kilometers in area. In the center of the island is a barren mountain, surrounded by sparse trees and overgrown weeds.
Have you checked it?
Prince Amirk's captain of guard stepped forward: "We have surveyed every inch of the island and found no trace of any traps."
"interesting!"
Om smiled slightly, his eyes becoming somewhat expectant. Although he was proud, he was not stupid. He had taken various precautions before coming, and he would never allow himself to be left isolated and helpless. However, he did not think these measures would be of any use.
Amok said in a low voice.
"let's go."
As he spoke, he made a cryptic gesture.
Om shook his head: "Then there's no need. Notify all units to search for Mera's whereabouts with all their might. Once the target is found, notify me immediately."
"understand!"
Amirk nodded vigorously, then turned and left.
Time passed second by second, and when the clock struck eight, a fiery red blur appeared in the sky. It quickly grew larger and fell like a shooting star.
Rumble
The shockwave surged in all directions, forming a circular hole more than ten meters wide in the center of the island.
Om raised his head and stared coldly at the figure emerging from the pit: the red armor that flowed like liquid was as eerie as the description of wisdom.
At the same time, Xu Fu was also carefully observing the King of Atlantis.
He appeared to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, handsome, tall, and slender, with features as sharp and angular as a marble sculpture. He wore silver armor, held a silver trident, and had a ferocious-looking deep-sea dragon nestled beneath him.
He subdued the enemy without fighting, and based on his appearance alone, he certainly deserved the title of prince.
"Prince Orm?"
"Randman?"
Xu Fu removed his mask, revealing his former face. "Remember this face of mine; you will never forget it."
Om grinned.
"That's exactly what I wanted to say."
Xu Fu looked around at everyone and said strangely, "You have quite the nerve to bring so many people to participate in the sacred duel, as if you're afraid I'll bully the few with my numbers."
Om raised the trident.
Where is Meira?
Xu Fu pointed upwards, and a purple light descended from the sky. It stopped abruptly upon reaching the ground, and as the light dissipated, Mera and Carol appeared.
"Your Highness, please help me find out if the person riding the crocodile dragon is Ohm-Ulysses. I don't want to fight an imposter."
Mira gaped, at a loss for words; her feelings were incredibly complex.
Torn between her friend and the boy she grew up with, what should she choose?
After carefully examining his surroundings and confirming that it was a real person, Om's eyes became incredibly sharp.
"You actually dared to send people here!"
Xu Fu smiled coldly: "Compared to you, I am the true prince of Atlantis. I disdain killing, coercion, and forced marriage. I only focus on my own power and use it to solve all problems."
These words even carried a hint of sarcasm, making Om's heart sink, yet he couldn't refute them. Some things can only be done in the shadows; once you step onto the stage, you can no longer see the light.
Just then, Lola came from the beach and said impatiently.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
Mela shook her head with a wry smile, whispered a few words to Carola, and then returned to the sea with the princess's guards.
This scene baffled the Atlantean soldiers who were secretly observing her: were the kidnappers on land really so eloquent? The hostage had escaped, but he didn't seem to care at all.
Om gripped the trident tightly.
