928 Cooperation by accident
The communication between Wayne and Arthur was actually quite smooth.
After all, Arthur is not as violent as Namor.
If anything, Namor can be considered an anti-hero.
Arthur, on the other hand, is much simpler.
“Burning Hell and Higher Heaven?
You mean that the demonic crisis we are encountering now is all because of that burning hell?"
Arthur only listened to Wayne say a few words before asking.
Obviously he still lacks patience.
But this is human nature. Atlantis has been troubled by the problem of demons for a long time.
If there is no solution, Atlantis may have to move.
And Namor obviously would not agree to this.
Arthur was understandably anxious.
"Yes, there is no need to go into details about the power of the Burning Hell, and we don't need to consider those issues.
At least now there is no need to think about it.
For humans and Atlantis, corruption is the most important thing at the moment.
Although humans seem to have achieved some results on the subject of anti-corruption,
But I suggest not to have too high hopes.
After becoming a demon, your soul will change.
You should know what the power of the soul is."
Wayne was telling Arthur the information he knew very seriously.
He doesn't need to carry an oxygen tank now.
Although Arthur is not as skilled as Namor in controlling water,
But it can still be done by just creating a waterless environment in the water.
Although being a half-blood makes no difference to him in the water or on the shore,
But given the choice, Arthur still prefers a drier environment.
After living with humans for a long time, Arthur became more accustomed to their way of life.
"Then you came to me simply to determine the situation in Atlantis?
If that's your plan, maybe you should look for Namor instead of me.
I think you have some unexplained purpose?"
Arthur is just straightforward, but he is not stupid.
Perhaps his character can make many friends on the holy mountain of Harrogas.
"And I hope you can help us.
To be precise, it should be cooperation.
The Burning Hell is a consistent threat to all life.
In this case, Atlantis has no chance of staying aloof.
And I hope to form a team to face those possible problems together.
At least for now, it is unlikely that either humans or Atlantis will solve the problem of the Burning Hell alone."
Wayne was extremely serious at this time.
He was hiding some information, but he didn't intend to tell it directly if Arthur didn't ask.
If he spoke out about the Nephalem, he would be putting pressure on the Atlanteans.
"I can't agree to this directly.
After all, as the King of the Sea, I need to be responsible for my country.
Even if Namor could manage the country by himself,
But I won't leave everything to him.
It’s not that I doubt what he will do, it’s just that as the King of the Sea, I have to do it.”
Arthur is very frank.
This is the answer Namor wants to hear.
How could a king hand over his responsibilities to others?
Even if two people have equal status in Atlantis, they should not give up their part of the power!
"No problem, my coming here is not a formal visit.
This time I am just expressing my intention.
And if I have to say it, I can’t represent all mankind.”
Wayne didn't mean to lie.
During the time he lived on the sacred mountain of Halogas, Wayne was used to being straightforward.
Having the strength to do what you say and having the determination to do what you say are completely different things.
Wayne is very clear about his position this time.
Regarding the cooperation between humans and Atlanteans, he was just a matchmaker.
It is enough that the message and intention are delivered.
If all goes well, those who can make decisions on behalf of humanity will soon be purged.
At that time, cooperation will only be a matter of course.
As for cooperation-related negotiations, there are also dedicated people in charge.
What Wayne himself must achieve is to convince Arthur to join.
It wasn't that he couldn't sense Namor's power.
But he didn't know much about Namor.
Instead of rashly contacting someone you don't know well, you still need to risk offending the other person.
It's better to just do what you were prepared for from the beginning.
He had already learned about Arthur's situation from those on the coast.
This is a relatively easy guy to deal with.
In Wayne's opinion, persuading the other party is not that difficult.
"Although I really hope to get your answer now.
But unfortunately, there are still many things that I need to do on land.
I'm very happy about this meeting.
If you need any help, especially with supplies.
I think I can still be of help."
Wayne was already planning to say goodbye.
There was still one last step left for his meeting with Arthur.
Although diving into the deep sea with physical strength has shown his strength.
But this is still inferior to a show of force.
A powerful individual cannot make the other party value the overall force.
So Wayne has other plans.
His plan was to open a teleportation portal directly to the Holy Mountain of Harrogath.
What Arthur could see through the portal were those barbarian ancestors.
Even if they can't know exactly how powerful the barbarian ancestors are,
But it is not difficult at all to realize that the other party is very strong.
"I will consider this matter carefully.
Namor allowed me to go to the shore to have a look.
But I have to at least make arrangements for things in the sea before it gets over.
If nothing else happens, we may become teammates soon.
By the way, you should be the strongest among humans, right?
So do you know about Captain America?"
Arthur asked in passing.
When Wayne heard this, his thoughts went crazy.
When talking about Captain America, most people will directly think of Steve.
But now it is Bucky Barnes, the red tank, who bears the title of Captain America...
What Wayne is considering is whether to tell the other party about Bucky becoming Captain America.
"If there is any hidden meaning in this matter, just pretend that I didn't ask.
Anyway, I'll find out when I get up there.
I'm just asking this on behalf of an elder of mine.
He was teammates with Captain America for a while."
At this time, Arthur became more considerate.
"I was just thinking about where to start.
Steve's comrade?
Now Steve is also my comrade-in-arms.
He has been frozen for many years.
Fortunately, he was as young as he was when he recovered.
And he is very strong now."
Wayne received a clear signal that all the other party wanted to know was about Steve.
As for Bucky, they probably aren't interested.
"Very strong? How is it better than you?"
Your physical strength is already very good.
Namor said before that your physical strength may still be higher than mine.
So as Steve is a teammate that Namor respects, he should be much better than me, right?"
Arthur's words made Wayne a little confused.
After all, according to the information he collected, Arthur is often active in the human world.
There's no reason not to know what Steve was like before.
But looking at Arthur's hearty smile, Wayne felt that the other person didn't seem to have any scheming intentions.
"Steve is stronger than me now.
But you may have a little understanding of the previous Steve."
Wayne said it anyway.
In fact, it's not like Arthur didn't know Steve's basic situation.
I just can't judge Steve's strength.
He could only know that Steve back then was a human injected with super soldier serum.
Of course he didn't know anything about how far this serum could strengthen a person.
Arthur's understanding of Steve was based on Namor's strength.
The people Namordo respected were certainly not weak.
He just didn't think that Namor's respect for Steve was more due to Steve's noble personality.
"Okay, that's all I have.
Do you need me to take you up?
Even if you are carrying an oxygen tank, it is not difficult to swim up by yourself.
But I want to give you a ride."
Arthur shook his head.
The wet hair was swaying with texture.
"No, I have a more convenient way to leave.
It’s a kind of magic.”
After Wayne finished speaking, he opened a portal directly here.
At the other end of the portal is the sacred mountain of Harrogath.
The moment Arthur saw the other side, he was stunned.
He was not stunned because he saw the power of those barbarian ancestors.
Instead, opposite the portal is the face of a huge demon.
To be honest, Wayne was stunned on the spot.
He never expected to see a demon on the other side of the portal leading to Harrogath.
And that face was strange and unfamiliar, but Wayne could directly name that guy!
"Bal!"
Wayne shouted the name instinctively.
Barr on the other side of the portal slowly rolled his eyes.
He set his sights on Wayne.
"A barbarian, although I don't know why your portal opened in front of me.
But don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to choose to use the portal to escape Bulcaisel's sight.
Although this Bulcasso is not as powerful as the one you are familiar with.
But it's enough to stop me.
As for the ants next to it, they seem a bit interesting."
Barr said directly to Wayne.
Even Baal has no emotional tendencies.
But the inherent malice of the three demons made Wayne feel stiff.
Arthur on the other side directly mobilized the water flow to launch a direct attack!
It was just Barr's unconscious malice that put Arthur into a state of stress!
But the water flow was immediately dispersed the next moment.
Namor appeared here with a cold face, and then stared at Baal on the other side of the portal.
"close the door!"
Namor said in a commanding tone.
Wayne also came to his senses and closed the portal!
"You should have a lot to tell us now, Earthlings!"
Namor looked at Wayne coldly.
It is not easy to face something like Barr directly.
The impact on Namor and the others was minimal, largely due to Baal's deliberate restraint.
After all, that place is the sacred mountain of Harrogath.
There is also a first-generation ancestor of the barbarians on the holy mountain and a large group of ancestor spirits who are eyeing him.
As for Bulkatho, he should be negotiating with Yincerel at this time.
It's just that this negotiation may not end easily.
"That is the biggest trouble existing in the Burning Hell.
Baal, the Demon God of Destruction, one of the Three Demon Gods.
As for that place, it is the holy mountain of barbarians.
You didn't ask about the barbarians and nephalem before.
So I didn’t say anything.”
Wayne said helplessly.
The appearance of Baal on the other side of the portal completely disrupted his plan.
"So you just want to show off the power you have?
Through this destruction of the Demon God, you have achieved your goal.
Say it now!
What the hell is going on with those guys!"
Namor became a little irritable.
Although most of the time he only gets more irritable when he is out of the water.
But leaving the water is not a direct factor.
Namor's irritability is innate.
He was just better able to control his emotions in the water.
Wayne shook his head.
The reason why Baal appeared on the Holy Mountain of Harrogas was temporarily forgotten.
Although he missed the moment when Bulcaisso started to move.
But this did not prevent him from having full confidence in the barbarians.
In a quick glance, he saw Imperius' figure behind Barr.
Since there are even archangels on the Holy Mountain, there is no danger.
In particular, he had already collected information about Bulkesso from many places.
All the news points to one thing, that is, Bulcasso's strength is far superior to that of the Demon King of Hell and the Archangel.
The reason why Bulqueso didn't push those guys directly was mainly because he had other plans.
The first thing Wayne has to do at this time is to answer Namor's question.
Although it was a bit unexpected that this happened.
But it's not all without benefits.
At least now it seems that the Atlanteans are determined to cooperate.
"Namor, when did you come back?
I remember that your speed was faster than mine, but not that much faster, right?
Judging from the time, you should have only completed half of the patrol range at this time."
Arthur took a few deep breaths before asking curiously.
The previous meeting with Barr made him feel a little unstable.
"I sped up during patrol today.
It's that simple.
I came back earlier than you saw.
I heard about working with humans and about Steve.
This time I may also go to the sea for activities.
It's just that Atlantis can't be left without someone to garrison it.
Our current situation is not optimistic, it can even be said to be terrible!”
Namor's words were meant for Wayne.
Just by glancing at Baal, Namor already figured out Atlantis's position.
Just the breath leaking out unconsciously can make him feel like he has been electrocuted.
This kind of guy is not someone he can face easily!
Cooperation is the only option at this time.
"I don't represent humanity."
Wayne couldn't help but remind him.
"The two of us can represent Atlantis.
As for the object of cooperation, it is not the entire human race, but you.
Barbarians? Cooperation requires equality on both sides.
So the only person Atlantis can cooperate with is you."
Namor's decision making was straightforward.
He knew that there was no comparison between his side and the barbarians.
So I just chose Wayne as my partner.
As for cooperation with ordinary humans, that's not something Wayne should worry about.
Both Aqua Kings established cooperation with Wayne for different purposes.
This should be considered a good thing.
