Eric spoke words that astonished them.
"Rachel, can you do it?"
Looking at his stunned sister, Eric reconfirmed with her.
"I... I can!"
Although somewhat surprised by the method her brother proposed, Rachel still mustered her courage and told Eric, "As long as it's a task Brother gives me, I will definitely complete it."
"Good, then let's go!"
Eric said, flying towards the bottom of the city.
However, the patrolling Atlantean soldiers quickly discovered Eric and the others who had trespassed and immediately rushed towards them.
Atlanteans have always adopted strict punitive measures against humans who trespass.
Either expel them or kill them.
But these underwater soldiers hadn't even reached Eric before they were struck by his Heat Vision.
The soldiers, whose bodies were severed, had blood splattering from them, immediately staining the nearby sea red.
After using Heat Vision to eliminate all the rushing soldiers, Eric retracted his Heat Vision and, with an unchanged expression, told the others, "Let's continue our mission!"
The soft mud at the bottom of the sea allowed Eric to quickly descend hundreds of meters underground.
Finding a solid bedrock that could serve as a support point, combined with the 'biological field' carried within his template and Rachel's help, Eric slowly lifted the ground.
On the other side, Shazam and Wonder Woman also began to lift upwards.
"Waaahhhhh!"
Shazam roared, his arm muscles bulging, all his strength concentrated in his hands, unleashing his maximum divine power to slowly lift this section of the Earth's crust.
Wonder Woman's eyes became bloodshot, and she gritted her teeth, using all her strength to lift.
Rumble!
A dull roar came from the seabed, like the tremendous sound of a volcanic eruption, or the muffled sound of an underwater earthquake.
The residents living in Atlantis suddenly heard a rumbling sound, followed by an earthquake-like tremor.
A mother, who was swimming with her son in the city, immediately hugged her son tightly after feeling the city shake.
With fearful and uneasy eyes, they looked towards the direction of the sound, discovering it was coming from beneath their feet.
And the city where they had lived for generations was slowly rising.
Nearby residential buildings collapsed during the city's ascent, trapping several residents who couldn't escape in time.
"Mom, what's happening?"
The child, held by his mother, asked her fearfully.
"Our city is slowly rising, perhaps we've encountered some disaster!"
The mother said anxiously to her son, "We must go home now."
Holding her son, the mother quickly swam towards their home.
But at this moment, Atlantis had already descended into chaos, with countless residents scurrying frantically through the city.
Injured residents rushed to the hospital; others, wanting to understand what was happening, swam towards the direction of the sound, shouting for city guards to investigate what was going on.
The rest were ordinary residents, like her, rushing home anxiously.
Screams and terrified wails converged.
Boom!
The city continued to ascend, finally breaking through the sea surface with a thunderous roar.
Countless amounts of seawater were carried into the air, then poured down like a torrential rain.
Eric, lifting Atlantis, continued to fly upwards, and after reaching a certain altitude, he flew towards Nevada.
Having now unlocked the full Homelander Template and part of the Doomsday Template progression, lifting a city was not very difficult for him now.
Flying to the Mojave Desert in Nevada at top speed, Eric set down the lifted Atlantis, then flew into the air, quietly observing this mysterious city exposed in the desolate desert.
Wonder Woman and Shazam flew to Eric's side, their expressions shocked.
Neither of them had expected Eric to simply drop the city into the desert.
After all, in their minds, this was an incredibly mysterious and powerful city.
Rachel flew to Eric's side, panting. The act of creating the protective shield had almost drained all the magic from her body.
"Phew!"
Exhaling, Rachel said to Eric, "Although I almost couldn't hold on, I finally completed the task Brother gave me."
As Rachel spoke, she looked at Eric with an expression that seemed to say, "Come praise me."
Eric smiled slightly, reached out, and stroked Rachel's dark hair, "You worked hard, Rachel!"
On the other side, Arthur and Mera watched Eric move Atlantis from the seabed to the desert, their faces all showing expressions of horror.
"This..."
Arthur took a deep breath, his eyes showing a shocked expression, "What did he do!"
"As you can see, he placed your city in the desert to show you his power and anger!"
Mera said with a serious expression.
"But those Atlantean soldiers who attacked human cities were not sent by me!"
Arthur said somewhat angrily.
"Anyway, it was done by Atlanteans, and in Eric's view, there's no difference. As for you not being able to control your subjects, that's not his concern."
Mera looked towards the city vaguely emerging in the distant desert and said, "Unless you want to risk the entire city being destroyed by him, you can only surrender to him!"
"I... I never thought he would go to this extent!"
