#366 - The Illuminati: Plan

Even though Aquaman isn't known for his speed, as a superhuman, his speed is still beyond the reaction time of ordinary people.

Even Black Manta, who wears a suit created by the Illuminati that enhances his physical abilities in every way, can barely keep up with Aquaman's speed. While the second beam from Black Manta's visor was still charging, Aquaman had already pounced in front of him.

Ducking to avoid the two scarlet beams, Aquaman grabbed Black Manta's helmet with both hands, and with a cracking sound, tore it in half, revealing his true face.

The rage in Aquaman's eyes seemed to materialize, but he was surprised when he saw the face of his enemy, because the face under the mask was not Black Manta. Although it was also a black man, he was very different from Black Manta.

"Where is he!" Aquaman asked sternly, knowing that he had been tricked by Black Manta.

"You'll never know," the fake Black Manta mocked the Lord of the Seven Seas in front of him. He quietly pulled out the Black Manta trident hidden in his suit and stabbed it at Aquaman's head.

"Pa!"

Aquaman dodged the trident strike, grabbed the shaft, and pulled the fake Black Manta towards him.

"Bang!"

Using the fake Black Manta as leverage, Aquaman raised his right leg and kicked him directly in the chest. The armor on the fake Black Manta's chest shattered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backwards and crashing into a piece of equipment. Sparks flew and the equipment was destroyed.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The fake Black Manta coughed violently, blood flowing from his mouth, but thanks to the protection of the armor, his injuries only looked scary, and wouldn't kill him for the time being.

Before the fake Black Manta could catch his breath, a shadow loomed over him. The fake Black Manta looked up and saw that the shadow was none other than Aquaman.

"I'll ask again," Aquaman pressed the trident he had seized against the fake Black Manta's scalp.

"Where is he!"

"Hehehe!"

The fake Black Manta could only let out a strange laugh due to his injuries, but that didn't stop him from mocking Aquaman.

"Since you want to know so much, I'll tell you," the fake Black Manta said after estimating the time in his mind.

"The boss had already guessed your actions. He had already boarded a small submarine and surfaced before you chased after him. He should have escaped to the surface by now."

Hearing the fake Black Manta's story, Aquaman's face was terribly dark, and because he was backlit, Aquaman's face was no different from that of his enemy.

"You little fish, I wonder if you can still jump around on land."

"噌!"

Aquaman suddenly burst out, he pulled out the trident and stabbed it at the fake Black Manta under his feet. The speed was too fast, and Jackson, who had just walked over, couldn't react at all.

The fake Black Manta was covered in sweat, the trident stopped at the tip of his nose, the sharp tip pierced his skin, and warm blood flowed out, flowing down his cheek into his suit. Normally this wouldn't happen, but Aquaman had destroyed his armor, causing it to lose its airtightness.

The reason why Aquaman didn't stab down wasn't because he didn't want to, but because Yang Le's right hand was grabbing the shaft of the trident, preventing Aquaman from killing the fake Black Manta.

"Calm down, Arthur," Yang Le's muscles tensed. With Steeljaw's strength, it still wasn't enough to compete with Aquaman, and thankfully Aquaman didn't use his full strength.

But even so, Yang Le felt a sharp pain in his palm, because he didn't grab the trident tightly at the first moment. The shaft actually slipped out of his palm for a while. It's like holding a rope without any protective measures. Yang Le was sure that his palm must have been burned by friction.

Not only that, but other parts of Yang Le's body belatedly gave him feedback. He estimated that many parts of his body had been strained, and muscle tears were also possible. This was only because he had stopped Aquaman's attack.

It has to be admitted that ordinary alien heroes are difficult to compare with giant-level superheroes. Many people may think that Aquaman is just a superhero with no special features, who only knows how to talk to fish, because in The Boys, there is even a hero Deep who is based on him.

But Aquaman is far more than that. This guy has the strength to move continental plates, although not as much as Superman, but not someone that anyone can just碰瓷(碰瓷: deliberately get into an accident to extort money).

"We can't kill him yet," Yang Le controlled the Omnitrix and transformed into Four Arms. This wasn't to compete with Aquaman, but to clear the negative effects on his body. One of the abilities of the little broken watch is that after the wearer transforms, it will clear all the injuries received in the previous form, but unfortunately, the injuries received by the wearer's true form cannot be cleared.

"Since he can become Black Manta's substitute, it means that his relationship with Black Manta must be unusual. Otherwise, Black Manta wouldn't have chosen him, and he wouldn't have been willing to withstand the anger of a superhuman for Black Manta. We can get a lot of information about Black Manta from him."

Aquaman remained silent, but he released his grip on the trident, apparently persuaded by Yang Le. The fake Black Manta was about to say something when he was slapped unconscious by Yang Le's second right hand.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

"Notify the Atlantean forces," Aquaman took a deep breath and said to Jackson behind him.

"Have them arrest everyone here!"

————Dividing line————

Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, some bubbles suddenly appeared on the calm sea surface, and then a small submarine surfaced. The hatch on the submarine opened, and Black Manta, wearing ordinary armor, crawled out.

Taking off his helmet, the warm sunlight shone on his body. Black Manta took a deep breath, greedily breathing in the fresh air. The salty sea breeze drilled into his nostrils. He hadn't felt this good in a long time.

This was not only because he had escaped from Aquaman's hands and tricked the Lord of the Seven Seas, but also because his mission was completed.

Taking out a glass jar from under his battle armor, it contained a palm-sized piece of meat, which he had cut from that large piece of meat.

"Rumble!"

The roar of a plane came, Black Manta looked up, and a seaplane was flying towards him. Looking at the familiar paint, Black Manta knew that the people who were picking him up had arrived. Because he was in a good mood, he rarely waved to the plane.

"It seems he succeeded," Ra's al Ghul's lips curled up. "The most important step in the plan has succeeded. It seems that this world will eventually return to the embrace of light."
