Louise nodded, "The name of the Pulitzer Prize-winning news in 1958 was 'Faith and Confidence.'
While there's some truth to it, just having that isn't enough!"
Before she finished speaking, she saw a figure flash across her vision.
Startled, Louise immediately had the helicopter follow the moving figure.
The figures she spotted were Aquaman and Mera.
The two came near the city and quickly found Eric and his group.
Aquaman looked at the city, where water was gradually evaporating, his heart growing more anxious.
Upon meeting Eric, Aquaman directly asked him, "What do you intend to do, Eric!"
"That should depend on you, Arthur; your people started the conflict.
I'm not a villain from a comic book; why do you make me sound so evil?!"
Eric said expressionlessly, with his arms crossed.
"The soldiers who attacked the human cities have retreated, and I will try my best to make up for the mistakes I made!"
Aquaman said to Eric in an urgent tone, "The Atlanteans in this city won't last much longer.
I hope you can put the city back underwater."
"So you are begging me?"
Eric looked at Aquaman, shaking his head, "But I don't see any sincerity from you."
"What sincerity do you want, Eric?"
"You swear allegiance to me.
From now on, Atlantis belongs to my rule!
Whether it's the ocean or the land, wherever my eyes can see, there will be no lawless places from now on."
Eric said words that shocked Arthur, "If you have no objections, you can kneel on one knee and swear allegiance to me.
Shazam will deliver the specific treaty regarding Atlantis to you later."
"You!"
Aquaman asked Eric, his voice somewhat agitated, "You want to rule Atlantis?"
"You are still the King of Atlantis and will have autonomy."
Eric continued in an unhurried tone, "You will become my vassal, but your people will not have to bear this responsibility."
"I… I won't do that!" Aquaman took a step back, speaking with agitation.
"And."
Eric ignored his Gaffe and continued, "As one of the proofs of your submission, your Queen Mera needs to temporarily stay on land as a hostage until you fully sign the treaty!"
"You wish!"
The thoroughly enraged Aquaman roared and charged at Eric.
He clenched his fist and struck fiercely at Eric.
But Eric quickly grabbed his fist and struck back at his face.
Bang!
Aquaman's face was hit, and he was thrown backward with a heavy thud.
His body slammed into the desert, making a loud sound and kicking up countless dust.
But he quickly emerged from the sand, and with a burst of potential, he charged at Eric at an even faster speed than before.
The long-dormant instincts in his bloodline were gradually awakening with his boiling blood.
His strong body again closed in, and the sharp lines drawn by the steel trident, which had appeared in his hand at some point, enveloped Eric's neck, head, chest, abdomen, and lower body.
Compared to his previous attacks, Arthur's movements were faster this time, like a sudden downpour, carrying a surging momentum.
The prismatic steel trident, like a sharp spike, dragged a scratch mark through the hot and heavy air, making Xiao Hunhun feel sluggish.
Arthur swung his hand back, the sharp cone of the handle rising upward, aiming for Eric's right eye!
With a crisp sound of metal and flesh colliding, Eric blocked the fatal blow with his arm, then rotated his wrist and delivered a punch forward, striking the opponent's chest.
Arthur's chest took a heavy punch from Eric, and he spat out a mouthful of blood as he fell backward.
Before he could catch his breath, in the midst of intense pain, he saw a graceful figure charging towards him.
Wonder Woman, holding the Vulcan Sword, charged at him.
In a hurry, he could only use his trident to block the blow.
Clang!
The sound of metal colliding with metal rang out, but the Vulcan Sword did not cut through his weapon, the trident.
Gritting her teeth, Wonder Woman swung her fist forward, pushing off with her feet.
Her black hair flew open, and she leaped like a ghost in front of Arthur.
Her fist came down through the air, aimed directly at his face!
If anyone were to underestimate this figure because she was a woman, they would certainly suffer the consequences.
The not-so-fast punch was parried by Arthur, who felt an explosive and terrifying force the moment he made contact.
It was like a firecracker exploding!
It directly sent Aquaman's thick arm flying!
Wonder Woman's arm vibrated, and she suddenly exerted force, her fist turning into a palm print on the opponent's chest.
Bang!
It sounded like hitting a sandbag, a muffled thud.
Aquaman was struck as if by lightning, his eyes wide, and his entire strong body was thrown out like a cannonball!
With a thud, he landed on the beach, making an explosive sound.
