Marvel: Son of Tomorrow

"It seems that our Plan A has failed."

On the way back to the Fortress of Solitude, the three members of the Justice League even carried back a building, which contained the survivors they had rescued along the way.

However, they, who should have been happy for saving so many people, now feel invisible pressure.

Judging from the current situation, the number of survivors should be similar to Luthor's prediction, which is about 1500 million. However, such a large population cannot be accommodated by the Gotham Forest and Paradise Island.

As a city, Gotham itself can accommodate a very large population, but in order to resist the survivors, Poison Ivy has transformed Gotham into a green Gotham Forest. Although it has enhanced the protection, it has also lost a large number of residential areas. In addition, Poison Ivy herself is not capable enough, and she is simply unable to protect so many survivors.

This is based on the premise that these survivors are willing to be obedient. If those survivors cause trouble in the Gotham forest, Superman doesn't have to guess that those troublemakers will definitely become nutrients for Gotham's plants. Poison Ivy can definitely do it.

So Gotham can only accommodate those obedient survivors, and the real troublemakers still need Superman and others to deal with them.

But then Paradise Island would not have enough land. Paradise Island could not even provide enough houses for 1500 million people.

"There is only one way now."

It's not that Superman can't think, but he knows that a Superman who is willing to think is an unignorable threat to the whole world, so he took the initiative to give up most of the opportunities to think in order to give everyone peace of mind. Now, with Batman dead, Superman must take a comprehensive view of the overall situation.

"We need to go to Atlantis to find Aquaman... or someone else who has the ability to control the ocean to assist us. With their help, we can forcibly raise the altitude of Paradise Island by dozens of meters and expand its area."

Such behavior would cause great damage to Paradise Island itself, but in today's world, Wonder Woman had no other choice but to agree to Superman's proposal, but new problems arose as a result.

"Superman, what is the current situation in Atlantis?"

When the Martian Hunter asked the question, he noticed that Superman's face changed drastically, and he was looking in the direction of Atlantis.

"The black ocean current... No! That's Arthur. Arthur is infected. He is using the seawater to carry the virus and is getting closer to Atlantis!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Superman turned into a red and blue light and rushed into the distance.

"Damn, is this guy Arthur still infected?"

As she spoke, Wonder Woman also chased in the direction of Superman.

Although everyone had speculated when Arthur did not respond to Superman's call, they all tacitly found reasons for themselves, thinking that Arthur just needed to focus on protecting his country in this disaster, so he did not participate in the war.

Unlike Wonder Woman's Paradise Island, which has a small population and is led by Queen Hippolyta, Arthur is a superhero, but he is also the king of Atlantis.

So everyone hopes that Arthur is unable to get away because of the affairs of Atlantis, but now, this fantasy is shattered. Aquaman Arthur and you are infected, which also means that in the near future, the entire ocean will become a breeding pool for the anti-life equation virus. At this moment, mankind has lost the largest amount of water resources.

Because it's not just the sea. At the moment Arthur was infected, all the rivers connected to the sea and all the lakes that were nourished by rainfall will give birth to countless viruses. Human beings no longer have any water resources except for the water resources prepared in advance by a few facilities.

The scene changed, and at this time Superman and Wonder Woman rushed into the sea one after another, and arrived at the outskirts of Atlantis in the blink of an eye. At this moment, Arthur's wife, Sea Queen Mera and Sea Storm Ghast were trying to control the ocean currents.

Because in the distance within their sight, the black ocean current symbolizing death and containing viruses was approaching the Atlanteans.

The Atlanteans can breathe in water, instead of not needing to breathe, and this will also cause them to inhale the viruses contained in the sea water into their bodies. Now most of the Atlanteans have been transformed. Behind the Sea Queen and the Sea Storm is the last pure land of Atlantis.

But no matter how hard they tried, they could not fight against the terrifying black ocean current, because when it comes to controlling the ocean, there is a true controller of the ocean in that black ocean current, and this is driving death.

"No! Arthur's control over the sea water is better than ours. We can't resist this black ocean current at all!"

Sea Storm was anxious, but compared to Aquaman Arthur, he was still too weak. Even if he worked together with Queen Mera, they were unable to defeat the opponent.

"What else can we do? The last Atlantean is behind us. We must stop him!"

But sometimes, reality cannot be reversed by willpower alone. The gap between Arthur and Mera and Jas is as huge as the gap between Superman and Superboy.

Just as the two were about to be touched by the black ocean current and were about to be infected by their instinctive breathing, a red beam of light dropped from the sky and evaporated all the sea water in front of them in just a moment.

At the same time, viruses that travel along with seawater are also eliminated.

"Superman!"

Superman and Wonder Woman rushed into the ocean and came to Mera and Jas.

"Sea Queen, Sea Storm, we can't stay here any longer. Quickly organize the Atlanteans to seek refuge in the waters near Paradise Island. Superman and I will hold off Arthur here."

That's right, to resist Arthur.

At this time, Arthur was surrounded by black ocean currents. Even Superman didn't dare to approach directly. The Man of Steel was not invulnerable. If he got close to the polluted sea water, he might be infected without paying attention. Therefore, Superman could not take such a big risk.

And if he doesn't get close, with his heat vision and cryo-breath, Superman will never be able to defeat Arthur unless he evaporates or freezes all the water in the ocean.

"Understood!"

At this time, Mera also knew that it was impossible to protect Atlantis with her strength, so she did not refuse and went with Sea Storm to guide the remaining Atlanteans to take refuge.

"Go ahead, Diana."

"Okay! Then I'll go first!!!"
