Under the overcast sky, the sea resembled a giant boiling pot, with rolling waves creating water walls dozens of meters high.
The previously calm sea now looked as if the apocalypse had arrived; the sea wind carried a salty, fishy mist, and the air was filled with a suppressive, murderous aura.
Natasha stood on the coastal rocks, narrowing her eyes as she gazed at the massive shadow gradually emerging in the distance. She whispered, "It seems our Aquaman friend doesn't like taking detours."
Steve gripped his vibranium shield, his brows furrowed: "Stop him; we can't let him control the sea and flood the Washington District."
Banner pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting the shimmering waves on the sea: "Hulk says he wants to swim."
Quicksilver pouted: "Swimming in giant waves? Hulk has unique taste."
Sam unfolded his mechanical wings, hovering in mid-air: "Guys, I suggest we don't joke around just yet—that thing looks tough to deal with."
As his words fell, the sea suddenly exploded, and dozens of gigantic warships burst out of the water, seawater flowing over their metal armor, their hulls carved with ancient Atlantis runes.
And on the central flagship's deck, a golden throne stood majestically, with Aquaman Arthur Curry seated upon it, his golden trident leaning against his shoulder, his eyes burning with cold fury.
Behind him, the waves seemed to be parted by an invisible force, and countless Atlantis warriors arrayed themselves, holding energy spears, clad in deep-sea armor, a murderous aura sweeping across the entire sea.
"Arbitrators," Aquaman's voice echoed like the deep sea, piercing through the gale, "Perfect, have you chosen this place as your burial ground?"
"Heh, sea fish should stay in the sea." Natasha sneered, patting the Scorpio Cloth box beside her.
Steve shook his head, "Looks like we still have to fight." Saying so, he also patted the Leo Cloth box beside him.
Banner took off his glasses, "Hulk always wanted to wear new clothes." As his words fell, Banner's skin began to turn green, his body growing taller, and he simultaneously patted the Taurus Cloth beside him.
Quicksilver hopped around, "Ha, I always wanted to wear one too!" He quickly patted the Libra Cloth box next to him.
The churning battlefield on the sea was instantly pierced by four golden light pillars that shot into the clouds.
Natasha's Scorpio Cloth wrapped around her body like a living creature, a scarlet stinger moving at her waist, and the crystals on her faceplate refracted an eerie purple light.
Steve's Leo Cloth emitted an earth-shattering roar, its shoulder pads bursting with Sun-like energy, and his vibranium shield perfectly integrated with the Cloth's armguard.
The moment Banner completed his transformation, the Taurus Cloth's heavy armor automatically adapted to Hulk's expanding physique. The three-meter-tall green giant was clad in golden armor, and the energy bull horns on his shoulders glowed with lava-like red light. "Roar—!" The roar unleashed a circular airwave, shattering all nearby rocks.
Quicksilver's Libra Cloth transformed into a stream of light enveloping his entire body, with twelve weapon phantoms forming a sacred halo behind him. He playfully blew away the golden stardust from his fingertips: "This is way cooler than a uniform."
"Iceman, freeze the sea!" Steve's voice, amplified by the Cloth, resounded across the battlefield, "Sam, Cyclops, provide long-range cover!"
He gripped his wrist guard with his right hand, and ancient runes lit up one by one. His gaze fixed on the overwhelming Atlantis army, he bellowed, "Arbitrators!!!"
His comrades beside him all took up their fighting stances.
"Attack!"
Four golden meteors sliced through the storm.
Iceman's hands spewed out extreme cold, and the sea instantly froze into an ice plain.
Hulk let out an earth-shattering roar, the Taurus Cloth's energy bull horns glowing red, and he leapt into the enemy formation like a cannonball.
"Hulk—Horn!" His fists slammed into the ice, and the Impact overturned dozens of Atlantis warriors, with lava-like energy bursting from the ice cracks.
Natasha transformed into a golden afterimage, weaving through the battlefield, her Scorpio stinger as fast as lightning.
"Scarlet Needle!" Fifteen scarlet beams precisely pierced the energy cores of enemy warships. The hit warships exploded one after another, the firelight reflecting her cold smile beneath her faceplate.
Steve's Leo Cloth shone like a blazing Sun, "Lightning Plasma Fist!" His ultra-high-speed attack of a hundred punches per second formed a storm of light, his vibranium shield perfectly coordinated with his fist pressure, shattering all the energy spears of Aquaman's personal guard.
Quicksilver's speed was too fast for the naked eye to catch. The Libra Cloth's weapons rotated, then suddenly froze into the form of a holy sword. "Rising Dragon Punch!" A golden dragon-shaped energy blast shot into the sky, splitting three warships. He flashed into the midst of the army, and all twelve weapons simultaneously launched a saturation strike.
Sam's Falcon wing blades and Cyclops's Omega beams intertwined in the air, providing fire support for their comrades on the ground.
Aquaman, of course, would not sit idly by. He raised his trident and slammed it heavily onto the ice, and the entire sea instantly boiled.
The kilometer-wide ice plain instantly shattered, and countless ice spikes emerged from the seabed. Atlantis warships fired their main cannons in unison, blue-white energy beams tearing through the sky, evaporating the ice into a sky full of water mist.
"Deep Sea Fury!" Aquaman roared, his trident summoning a hundred-meter tsunami.
Hulk crashed through the giant wave, the Taurus Cloth's bull horns piercing three warships. Natasha's poison needles penetrated the water curtain, striking sparks off Aquaman's faceplate. Steve's Plasma Fist collided with the trident, the Impact shattering the ice within a thousand-meter radius.
Twelve warships disintegrated simultaneously, the afterimage of the Libra Cloth's holy sword still lingering in the air.
Cyclops's Omega beams swept across the sea, evaporating a corridor of Death. Aquaman suddenly dove into the deep sea, and the entire sea began to rotate, forming a five-thousand-meter-diameter whirlpool.
The entire sea exploded as if struck by a nuclear bomb, and Karathen's colossal, mountain-like body burst out of the boiling water, soaring into the sky.
Six tentacles, each over a hundred meters in diameter, swept across the battlefield like whips of divine punishment, each strike raising a hundreds-of-meters-high tsunami.
Hulk's Taurus Cloth erupted with a blinding, lava-like red light. He roared with laughter, charging towards this ancient sea monster: "Hulk—Strongest!" The green giant's muscles swelled to their limit.
He single-handedly grabbed a kilometer-long tentacle and, with a strength that defied the laws of physics, swung the entire giant beast, tracing a perfect parabola in the sky, and slammed it heavily onto the main Atlantis fleet.
Three warships twisted and deformed upon Impact, and the chain explosions of their energy cores illuminated the entire battlefield with fireballs, a mushroom cloud rising like a nuclear explosion.
"For Asgard!" Accompanied by a thunderous war cry, Thor, enveloped in divine lightning, descended from the sky.
mjolnir directly cleaved into the center of the whirlpool, and lightning exploded radially.
Hundreds of elite Atlantis Royal Guards didn't even have time to scream before they were reduced to charred sculptures in the greenish-white electric light.
The entire sea was illuminated by the lightning storm as if it were perpetual daylight. Thor landed on a floating ice shard, his hammer tip pointing directly at Aquaman's flagship: "Arthur Curry! Face the wrath of Thor!!!" His voice, mixed with thunder, echoed across the battlefield.
Natasha's fingertips continuously poked the air, and the Scorpio Cloth's stinger split into hundreds of deadly light rain.
"Scarlet Needle, Hundred Strikes!" Each poison needle precisely pierced the deep-sea armor, hitting the Atlantis people's vital points.
The hit warriors fell in swathes like harvested wheat, their pearl-embedded energy spears clashing on the ice with crisp wails.
Steve and Quicksilver formed a golden assault formation. The intense light bursting from the Leo Cloth, Steve's thousand-punches-per-second Plasma Fist formed a dense barrage of energy, blasting open gaps in Atlantis's toughest shield formation.
Quicksilver's speed, combined with the Libra Cloth's weapons, continuously wreaked havoc within the army.
Aquaman Arthur roared, charging forward, riding Karathen.
The giant beast spewed highly corrosive black mist; even the air began to rust wherever it passed.
Thor immediately spun Mjolnir, summoning a hurricane barrier that encircled the battlefield. Hulk seized the opportunity to leap onto the giant beast's head, the Taurus Cloth's giant horns accumulating lava energy, and unleashed a full-power strike at Karathen's thirty-meter-diameter giant eye socket.
Accompanied by a painful shriek that made the heavens and earth change color, this overlord who had ruled the deep sea for ten thousand years crashed heavily back into the sea, the resulting kilometer-high giant waves overturning and sinking warships.
As Karathen plunged into the monstrous waves it had stirred up, Aquaman Arthur leapt out of the wave crest like a cannonball. The seawater beneath his feet instantly solidified into a diamond-hard platform, and his trident traced a dazzling golden light.
"The glory of Atlantis shall not be desecrated!" His roar triggered an underwater volcanic eruption, and dozens of magma pillars burst through the sea surface.
Thor was enveloped in destructive lightning, Mjolnir spinning rapidly in his hand.
"Then let the thunder of the Nine Realms judge your arrogance!" Thor transformed into a bolt of lightning, charging directly at Aquaman. The collision of hammer and trident unleashed an Impact comparable to a nuclear explosion. The seawater within a ten-mile radius was completely displaced, revealing the cracked seabed.
Aquaman manipulated tens of thousands of tons of seawater to form high-pressure water blades, but they were all evaporated by the spherical lightning barrier summoned by Thor.
"Did you forget? Seawater conducts electricity!" Thor laughed heartily, raising Mjolnir to the sky, and a hundred-meter-diameter super lightning bolt descended from the dark clouds.
This divine lightning, conducted through the seawater, instantly turned the entire battlefield into a giant electrolysis cell, and the Atlantis warriors' armor burst with dazzling electric sparks.
"Deep Sea Domain!" Aquaman desperately plunged his trident into the seabed, triggering an underwater earthquake.
Seven thousand-meter-diameter water spouts rose from the ground, each containing deep-sea giant beasts composed of high-pressure water streams.
Thor, however, slammed Mjolnir heavily onto the water surface. The lightning, imbued with Odin's divine power, flowed upstream along the water spouts, forcibly transforming them into lightning storm whirlpools.
Natasha's Scorpio poison needles took the opportunity to pierce through the water mist, precisely hitting Aquaman's trident-wielding wrist. Quicksilver swept across the battlefield at light speed, the Libra Cloth's holy sword severing the energy link between the trident and the seawater.
Hulk leapt up from the seabed, the Taurus Cloth's bull horns directly striking Aquaman's chest, sending him flying into the air.
"Now!" Steve's Plasma Fist and Thor's lightning simultaneously struck Aquaman in the air.
The golden trident broke free from Aquaman's grasp in the dazzling white light, and Aquaman fell into the sea like a meteor.
Just as the Arbitrators were preparing to deliver the final blow to Aquaman, a shimmering water curtain suddenly rose from the sea, enveloping the heavily wounded Arthur like the gentlest barrier.
The seawater refracted rainbow light in the Sun, forming a perfect protective sphere.
"Please stop!" Mera's voice pierced the battlefield. She walked slowly on a staircase of Water, her fiery red hair dancing in the sea breeze.
"Spare Arthur!" She spread her arms, shielding her husband, her emerald eyes full of pleading.
"Atlantis has no intention of being an enemy of the land. Arthur only started this war by following a promise to a friend in his heart."
Steve turned to look at his companions. Thor's Mjolnir was still humming, but the lightning had weakened;
Hulk's Taurus Cloth shoulder pads made a metallic grinding sound, the green giant tilting his head to examine the suddenly appearing queen of the deep sea;
Natasha's poison needle tip was still dripping scarlet venom.
Quicksilver scratched his head, "I don't care. Although it was a lot of fun fighting, using the Cloth is draining my stamina pretty quickly."
"We can spare Arthur, but you must guarantee that Atlantis will not be allowed on land without permission in the future." Steve looked at Mera.
Mera suddenly knelt on one knee on the sea, unfastening the pearl necklace from her neck—it was made from a deep-sea pearl from the heart of the first Aquaman.
"By the honor of the Atlantis Royal Family, I swear." The pearl in her palm liquefied, forming ancient covenant runes, "If we trespass on the land again, the Seven Seas will reclaim all the power granted to us."
Thor suddenly burst out laughing, spinning Mjolnir in his palm: "Ha! That oath is even older than Odin's beard."
He winked at Hulk, who grumbled discontentedly but still lowered his combat stance.
"Remember today's agreement, otherwise, next time it won't end so easily." Steve said in a deep voice.
The moment Steve's words fell, the entire sea suddenly churned violently.
The remnants of the Atlantis army sank into the deep sea like a receding tide, and the wreckage of warships was dragged into seabed fissures by an invisible force. Mera, supporting the unconscious Arthur, cast one last look at the land heroes, then vanished into the waves as a Water Shadow.
"Ha! That was too easy!" Thor laughed, swinging his Meow-Meow Hammer repeatedly, "I haven't even warmed up—"
Suddenly, everyone's communicators simultaneously erupted with a harsh static sound.
Tony's voice, tinged with teasing, interrupted: "Gentlemen, your ocean party is quite lively. But now, I hope you can come to my land party—"
In the background, the rumble of collapsing buildings could be heard, "Because there are a few guys here who call themselves gods and are tearing down the Washington District. Oh, right, one of the lunatics says he's Ares."
Tony's communication screen suddenly shook violently, and a hundred-meter-diameter pillar of lightning descended from the sky, splitting the Washington Monument in half. Debris rained down onto the streets.
"Damn it!" Tony's nanotech armor quickly reconfigured into a defensive form, "This old man is ten times more violent than Thor!" Before he finished speaking, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly rotated into a giant whirlpool, and twelve lightning bolts simultaneously struck around the Lincoln Memorial, forming an ancient Greek runic array.
Thor's Mjolnir suddenly vibrated violently: "Father above... This is the divine king's pressure of Olympus!" His cape billowed without wind, "Tony! Evacuate that area immediately!"
Zeus, with White hair like a lion's mane, descended amidst thunder. His roar resounded across the sky: "Mortals!!! How dare you feed hellish demons with my daughter's divine power!!!"
Tony's teasing voice sounded again on the communicator, "Seriously, if you don't come soon, Batman and I can't stop these Greek gods."
— — — — — —
Chen Tian, on Titan, sneezed, watching Bayonetta's fingertip touch Diana's forehead, drawing out strands of divine power and casting them into his purple magic circle.
"What are you doing, Bayonetta?"
"Oh, feeding my little demons."
"With divine power?"
"Of course, there are no Angels here."
"Don't the summoning spaces have energy for feeding?"
"They said they're tired of it~ they want new~ flavors."
"Alright, don't drain her dry."
"Darling~ don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Bayonetta winked at Chen Tian.
Chen Tian pouted, sneezing again.
"Who's cursing me?"
— — — — — —
In the Washington District, Tony awkwardly dodged Zeus's lightning.
"Damn Chen Tian!!! What did he do to the little princess on Titan to make her old father so furious?!"
