Aquaman lowered his head and muttered to himself, "He shouldn't have done that!"
Aquaman was silent for a moment, then said to Mera, "Perhaps he thought this was the best thing for the world, who knows?!
After all, he's started to rule the world, so he might do even more intense and insane things and consider them perfectly normal."
Mera shrugged and said to him, "Eric's actions have already terrified countless civilians.
Ordinary people don't want gods and aliens telling them what's right or wrong."
Aquaman tried to calm himself down and said to Mera, "You finally spoke your mind, Arthur!"
Mera walked over to Aquaman, looking directly into his eyes, "No wonder you've been so conflicted; it turns out you were also preparing to be the one to resist him."
Then she tossed her burgundy hair and said with a smile, "But that's understandable.
After all, in your previous life, you always considered yourself human.
With your simple sense of justice, of course you wouldn't agree with him.
However," she paused for a moment, then smiled slightly, "there's an even simpler value in this world: the strong prey on the weak, and the winner takes all.
Now, Arthur, you need to seriously think about how to handle your relationship with him!"
Aquaman listened to Mera's words but didn't reply, his brows furrowing even deeper.
On the other side, the ubiquitous reporters also discovered the city that had suddenly appeared in the desert.
The television station immediately dispatched a news helicopter to the Mojave Desert, and it soon arrived above the city.
The reporters were Eric's old acquaintances—Chloe and Louise.
Louise sat in the helicopter, looking at the city shimmering with an unusual light in the desert, her eyes showing an incredible look.
"What is this? A city?!
Oh my god, a city appearing out of nowhere, could this be the work of some magician who can grant wishes?
This is truly incredible!"
Louise quickly took photos while speaking to Chloe, who was serving as her assistant.
"Who knows! But I don't think any magician in this world could achieve this level!
After all, this isn't a mirage's light magic, nor is it some small thing like a model toy."
Chloe looked at the city that had suddenly appeared in the dry desert and was also extremely surprised, though her expression was calmer than Louise's.
"First, countless coastal cities saw so-called Atlanteans, and then this city suddenly appeared here.
It seems today is truly an extraordinary day."
Chloe expressed her thoughts.
"Experts and scholars say that the soldiers from the sea are the legendary Atlanteans."
Louise said to the helicopter pilot, "Tom, fly lower; I need to see some of the city's architectural structures."
After speaking, she turned to her cousin, "Perhaps these two things are connected."
Chloe thought for a moment, noncommittal to Louise's words, "You're always so good at making connections."
"Being good at making connections is an essential skill for a reporter!
Chloe, if you don't make more connections, then your Pulitzer Prize is a long way off."
Chloe immediately refuted her cousin's words, "The Pulitzer Prize has nothing to do with connections."
Louise stopped photographing the city and asked her, "Then what do you think it's about?"
"It's about the 'faith' and 'belief' in news reporting!" Chloe said seriously.
"Uh-huh."
