Chapter 142

~6 min read 1,145 words

“Hum!”

An invisible psychic energy surged into her brain. Atlanna suddenly felt the world go black, and then the surrounding environment changed in an instant.

Scene after scene appeared before her eyes as if they were truly happening, but she couldn’t do anything; she could only watch quietly, like a powerless bystander.

Countless Atlantean soldiers were in pursuit, energy guns firing wildly without mercy. In front of the pursuing soldiers, another ‘herself’ was fleeing in a disheveled but determined manner.

Ruthless slaughter played out one after another. Neither she nor those soldiers held anything back; it was a true fight to the death!

Finally, she succeeded; she successfully escaped the pursuit and fled Atlantis.

Injured, she came from the seabed to the surface, finally fainting among the rocks on the shore washed by the waves.

“I—I died?”

Atlanna looked at ‘herself’ fainting in the rocks in the dark night, letting the waves wash over her without moving, and couldn’t help but feel a bit despondent.

Suddenly, the scene changed again.

‘Herself’ was discovered by Atlantean soldiers and dragged back to Atlantis.

The wedding arrived as scheduled.

Time flashed by like frozen photos. In almost every photo, ‘herself’ was like a soulless walking corpse, without the slightest bit of happiness or joy.

And ‘her’ husband, Orvax, didn’t love ‘her’ at all, using cold words and violence. His purpose in marrying ‘her’ was just to become royal and gain power!

Then, ‘herself’ was judged and actually sacrificed to the Trench.

The scene ended here, as if it meant ‘her’ life had also completely ended at this moment!

The frozen scene was like the end of a movie, slowly disappearing with artistic flair. Atlanna’s vision returned to reality, back to her room.

She looked blankly at the man with a faint smile, and after a long while, she asked: “Is this real? Is this really my future?”

Su Quan shrugged: “Believe me, killing you is easier than lying to you.”

The scenes Atlanna saw were almost all her true future, but he had played a little trick—it was true, but incomplete.

There was no lighthouse keeper Tom Curry, no eldest son Aquaman Arthur Curry, and no younger son Ocean Master Orm Marius born with Orvax.

Of course, whether these existed didn’t matter. Anyway, Atlanna was indeed dragged back after escaping her marriage, and she was indeed sacrificed to the Trench!

Atlanna believed it, because with the strength he displayed, killing her would indeed be easy. If he had any ulterior motives, he could have used a more time-saving and effortless method.

“You, what is your name?” Atlanna asked suddenly.

Su Quan said with a smile: “Su Quan. You can also call me the Lord of the Void.”

He could feel the change in Atlanna’s attitude. This change had nothing to do with him, but was because of those encounters in Atlanna’s ‘future.’

Whether it was the ruthless pursuit by those soldiers when she escaped, Orvax’s attitude and motives after she was dragged back, or finally being sacrificed to the Trench—these were enough to change her mind.

Change her thoughts about Orvax, about this marriage, and about the entire Atlantis!

Not to mention anything else, she was the current Queen of Atlantis, yet when she escaped, those soldiers showed her no mercy.

Was this to drag her back? Or to take the opportunity to kill her?

And after she was dragged back, she was actually judged and sacrificed to the Trench.

She was the Queen of Atlantis, yet Orvax could unite with others to judge her.

What did this mean?

It meant that what Atlantis truly obeyed wasn’t her, the Queen, but Orvax, who held real power!

The more Atlanna thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she felt her decision to escape the marriage was correct, because the current Orvax had fully grown his wings; he had both real power and an army, and she couldn’t do anything to him at all.

Wait—

Atlanna looked at Su Quan: “You said, you want Atlantis?”

Su Quan smiled: “And you.”

Atlanna didn’t refute and continued to ask: “You want to become the King of Atlantis?”

Su Quan shook his head unexpectedly and said with a light laugh: “My territory is much larger than Atlantis, so I have no interest in being the King here.”

“However, I am quite interested in being the Queen’s man.”

“If you are willing to follow me, I can help you deal with Orvax, let you grasp all the power of Atlantis, and become a true Queen.”

“Even, I can help you unify the seven kingdoms and recreate the glory of Atlantis back in the day!”

Atlanna asked calmly: “What do I need to pay?”

“Atlantis’s ocean technology, a portion of its wealth, and some Atlantean armies to fight for me.”

“Of course, there is also the most important point, and that is your loyalty!”

Atlanna hesitated slightly. If Su Quan could really do what he said, then this little price was nothing at all!

Even if the ocean technology were handed over, it wouldn’t have any impact on Atlantis. Wealth went without saying; seventy percent of the Earth was ocean. If she could reunify Atlantis, the wealth would be inexhaustible.

As for the armies fighting for him, there was even less to say. By then, she could completely send people from other kingdoms who refused to obey to serve Su Quan.

Besides, since it was allegiance, wasn’t fighting for him the proper thing to do?

“Really, just these conditions?” Atlanna couldn’t believe it.

Su Quan smiled: “Know about the Amazons?”

Atlanna nodded.

Su Quan said: “The Amazons have been loyal to me for a while now. Their princess lives with me, and there is another Amazon on the shore right now. If you don’t believe me, you can go ask her yourself.”

Atlanna was very shocked. After all, in Atlantean records, Amazons were not the same as humans; they were a race as ancient as Atlantis.

Meet an Amazon?

Atlanna was somewhat tempted. On one hand, she was quite curious about Amazons and also quite curious about land; on the other hand, she also wanted to know if Su Quan had the ability to help her and if he really wouldn’t occupy Atlantis.

After all, her representing Atlantis in pledging allegiance to Su Quan and Atlantis being completely occupied were two completely different things.

After thinking for a while, Atlanna said with some regret: “I don’t know how you snuck into Atlantis, but it should be very difficult for me to leave and go to the land with you, so—”

“Swish!”

Before Atlanna could finish her sentence, a golden portal leading directly to the shore had already lit up in front of her.

On the shore, Helen and Vini Vini Liya were looking at Atlanna and the room behind her with curiosity.
