Chapter 608 Fear the Lord of the Seven Seas!
"So, does anyone know what's really going on with this 'Deep Sea Prince'?"
Tony, fully prepared, immediately set off. Peter, connected to the Iron Man suit by a spider web, was carried by Tony to the waters off New York.
At the same time, Tony communicated with the captain.
After all, he didn't know anything about Namo, nor did he know who this person was. And the captain wasn't sure how to answer this question.
"Namor is a hybrid of human and Atlantean, as you all know." The captain, having captured Abomination once again, communicated with Tony while sending him to the Cube Prison: "But he almost entirely disregards his human identity, identifying only as an Atlantean."
Namor was born in 1921 and lived in New York City before the outbreak of World War II. During that time, he was exploring his identity. However, unlike the superheroes that people usually think of, he did not see himself as both human and Atlantean, but chose to become a full-fledged Atlantean.
However, he is not simply a hybrid. His father gave Namor the X gene, granting him mutant abilities. Therefore, he is not only the ruler of the Seven Seas but also a powerful mutant, ranking among Alpha-class mutants alongside Professor X and Magneto.
Furthermore, because he was entirely aligned with Atlantis, even before the end of World War II, he would attack the Allies for causing seabed pollution due to their frequent sinkings of German submarines. This is extremely abstract.
"Moreover, Namor is very powerful. Unlike ordinary Atlanteans, he not only possesses a powerful physique but also the superpower to control the ocean."
"I thought he only had the powerful superpower of talking to fish."
Tony muttered to himself as he flew, when he saw a fireball hurtling toward the sea – it was the Human Torch from the Fantastic Four. He charged toward Namor even faster.
In the 1930s and 40s, Namor and the original Human Torch, Jim Hammond, fought twice. The first time, it was a case of two heroes becoming friends after a fight. The second time, however, was Namor's act of revenge for the Allies sinking too many German submarines and warships.
"It looks like we're about to start our third war—oh, it seems like it's already started."
In the distance, the raging flames and the raging floodwaters clashed fiercely. However, the conflict was brief and swift, ending by the time Tony and Peter arrived.
Well, Johnny was soaked to the bone and Reed pulled him back, while Susan was trying to stop the raging flood with her force field, and then there was the Stone Man, who wasn't very capable and was just driving the car.
As for Namor, he remained standing nonchalantly on the water, seemingly unaffected, and even casually commented on the Human Torch.
"You're nowhere near as good as Jim Hammond. You might be hotter than that guy, but you're no match for me."
Peter, who had jumped to a high-rise building, observed Namor and noticed that although the guy didn't seem to care much about communicating, his eyes kept glancing towards Susan.
"They are old acquaintances. Back then, Namor was amnesiac after being attacked, and it was the Fantastic Four who found him, helped him regain his memory, and reclaim his throne."
Tony, who was quite familiar with the Fantastic Four, introduced their history with Namor, and then complained: "But obviously, this connection and story can't do anything to this little prince of the deep sea."
Namor, seeing Tony arrive, finally seemed somewhat interested. He addressed the Avengers' chief leader: "Tony Stark, you should know that the surface creatures launched a fierce bombardment yesterday over the vast seas under my control."
Peter was the first to interrupt Namor: "Were there any casualties?"
Namor had intended to say more, but after being interrupted by Peter, he answered the question with slight displeasure: "It's fortunate that there were no casualties."
The next question Tony asked was an extension of Peter's question: "So, did Atlantis suffer severe economic losses?"
"No, not at all."
Namor's answer surprised Tony. There were no deaths or economic losses in Atlantis, so why would you bring hundreds of people and drive a tsunami to New York?
If you're not satisfied, can't you send a diplomatic ambassador to protest?
Unsure of Namor's intentions, Tony inquired, "So, Atlantis is now planning to—..."
"I am here to demonstrate the power of Atlantis to you, and to tell the whole world that no one can threaten Atlantis!"
After Namor finished speaking, both the Avengers and the Fantastic Four fell silent. That's it? That's all?
Still unsure, Tony pressed on, "Um—and then?"
"And then?"
"You officially announced the existence of Atlantis to the world, and you succeeded, so what?"
However, to Tony's surprise, Namor's answer was indeed yes.
"That's it. It's over. Remember, the Lords of the Seven Seas are watching everything you do on the sea!"
Watching Atlantis and the tide recede into the distance, Johnny, soaked to the bone, finally managed to utter a single sentence after a long pause.
"Is this guy crazy?"
"It's hard to say. He might really be mentally ill. My dad has the utmost respect for most of his WWII comrades, but this guy is the only one my dad doesn't know what's wrong with him."
Tony finished speaking and expressed his feelings.
Peter was also completely bewildered. He couldn't understand Namor's logic at all and felt that Namor might be some kind of deep-sea octogenarian who would breathe on you if you touched him.
Everyone quickly realized that nothing else was happening, so they went back to their own business. Peter did the same; because the broadcast had been live, the Daily Bugle had actually given it a special report.
As a result, as soon as Peter explained, he received messages from Gwen and Cindy. After quickly letting them know he was safe, Peter took the opportunity to begin patrolling New York.
Meanwhile, he was still pondering what had just happened. Although Namor himself seemed like a madman, surely there were no dissenting opinions throughout Atlantis?
Therefore, Peter always felt that Namor's actions were not completely over yet. There were still things waiting to happen.
Then, this is a story that will happen next month, and I won't go into details yet.
The withered Namor, Lord of the Seven Seas, was teleported into Avengers Tower by a beam of light and extended his hand to the Avengers present.
"I—Atlantis—need your help—Avengers."
