"Are you sure this is the place?"
Bruce asked, looking at the empty sea surface.
"Of course, the ocean told me!" Fang Yuan said righteously.
Bruce stopped asking; he knew Vulko must have told him.
In the sea area where the Trench resides, there is a portal leading to the space where the golden trident exists; Fang Yuan just needed to find where the Trench was.
After finding the location, Fang Yuan prepared to pull Arthur and jump into the sea.
"Goodbye, Uncle Wayne!" Little Arthur waved his hand at Bruce.
Bruce smiled and waved back.
Little Arthur was very sensible; he wouldn't use his physical advantage to bully back when bullied at school, and as he grew up, he often helped people who fell into the water.
Seeing Little Arthur's well-behaved manner, Bruce couldn't help but think of Fang Yuan's proposal.
"Since you like running a Gotham Kindergarten, why not let Arthur join in!" Those were Fang Yuan's exact words.
He was, of course, referring to Batman's sidekick, Robin.
Arthur is thirteen this year, just the right age to be Robin, and since he has superpowers, there's no need to worry too much about danger during missions.
With Arthur's physical constitution, even if the Joker broke a crowbar over him, he wouldn't even break the skin.
Ahem... Jason Todd: "Are you being polite?"
Furthermore, according to current developments, Arthur won't be able to continue being Aquaman in the future. His combat strength in the sea is comparable to Superman's, so naturally, he shouldn't be allowed to waste away in a small place like Amnesty Bay. Becoming a Superhero alongside Batman is clearly more suitable.
Of course, Bruce also understood Fang Yuan's little scheme. If Arthur became Robin under him, he could debut earlier and become famous sooner to earn rewards for Fang Yuan.
Otherwise, according to the plot, it would take nearly twenty years for Arthur to appear, and Fang Yuan couldn't wait that long.
But truth be told, Batman was tempted.
Leaving aside that creepy uncle radiating dark energy, the sunny and cheerful big brother Fang Yuan led Arthur into the depths of the Trench's territory.
The Trench are completely devolved Atlanteans.
Over a long period, the seven underwater kingdoms have undergone varying degrees of physical changes. Atlantis and the Kingdom of Xebel still look human, the Fisherman Kingdom has turned into merfolk, and the Brine Kingdom has turned into seafood, with its citizens being crustaceans like giant crabs and lobsters.
The other two kingdoms are basically out of the picture, and finally, there's the Trench.
As the name suggests, they don't even have the most basic civilization; they have devolved into Beasts, becoming completely irrational.
That's why there's the saying about sacrificing Atlanna to the Trench; Atlanteans assume there's no coming back once you arrive here.
"Uncle Fang, what are those?"
Little Arthur suddenly pointed at the dense small black dots on the rocks on the seabed ahead and asked.
Because he has the royal bloodline of Atlantis, Arthur's vision on the seabed is excellent.
Fang Yuan was very satisfied. Previously, Little Ryan and Quicksilver had also called him that, but only Little Arthur's way of saying it suited his taste best.
After all, his nephew Ryan was picked up halfway, and Quicksilver had a flighty personality; Little Arthur was undoubtedly much more well-behaved.
"Those are the Trench," Fang Yuan replied.
Arthur could talk underwater, and so could he.
In fact, Fang Yuan's speed in the water was even faster than Arthur's.
The Deep's abilities certainly didn't include this; his ability to communicate with marine life could rival Aquaman's, but everything else was far behind.
But Fang Yuan had fusion templates. He frantically fused the abilities of The Deep, Homelander, Queen Maeve, and the X-Men's Banshee together into a single Overhuman Template.
[Overhuman Template: (A- grade, 90% development)]
Because Homelander was the foundation, the grade of this fusion template wasn't low, and since these templates had limited potential, their development was quite high.
The reason for naming it the "Overhuman Template" was naturally because it was equivalent to a budget version of Superman.
"This way!"
Fang Yuan beckoned Arthur and charged directly toward the place where the Trench were most densely packed.
This action immediately awakened the lurking Trench. Since they were basically a pack of Beasts, they naturally wouldn't let anyone dare to invade their territory off easy. Thousands of sea monsters instantly swarmed toward the two.
Little Arthur was terrified, his body trembling uncontrollably. At that moment, Fang Yuan gripped Arthur's shoulder, turned back, and comforted him warmly, "Don't be afraid, I've got you covered!"
A spherical energy wave surged from Fang Yuan's body, spreading out and blocking all the swarming Trench. The sea monsters were pushed against the rocks by the energy wave, crashing into each other with no power to resist.
I told you I'm the messenger of the Sea God.
Besides, without the ability to clear out minions, how would I dare to apply for the position of Sorcerer Supreme?
Fang Yuan didn't even need to look back to know that Arthur must have stars in his eyes right now, because he had already sensed Arthur's excitement and admiration.
He pulled Little Arthur along, racing forward. Before long, they saw a rotating, glowing object.
This was the portal to the Hidden Sea.
Seeing this thing shaped like an underwater tornado, Arthur was a bit scared.
"Uncle Fang, we won't be torn to pieces, will we?" he asked fearfully.
"It's okay, hold on tight to me!"
Fang Yuan grabbed Little Arthur and charged straight in. Suddenly, a massive pulling force appeared. If not for Fang Yuan's great strength and his use of spatial power for protection, Arthur would have been spinning endlessly in the spatial vortex, with no telling where he might have ended up.
Before long, the vortex finally calmed down, and a wide-open view appeared before Fang Yuan and Arthur.
"We've left that sea area from before!" Arthur said with lingering fear.
Fang Yuan projected his Telepathy and quickly found his target.
A slight smile played on his lips as he led Arthur straight to the shore.
At that moment, someone on the shore heard the noise and poked their head out from a cave. Their expression changed instantly upon seeing them.
"Arthur!"
The woman in the distance came running over; it was indeed Arthur's mother, Atlanna.
Although she had left when Arthur was very young, Atlanna had only been exiled last year, so she naturally knew what Arthur looked like now.
The way the plot usually goes, where Atlanna can recognize a thirty-something Arthur at a glance after being exiled for twenty years, is what's truly incredible.
Arthur had only seen his mother in photos, but the person approaching looked exactly like the one in the pictures, so he recognized her immediately and ran toward Atlanna.
"Mom!"
Fang Yuan just smiled as he watched the beautiful scene of the mother and son reuniting, not disturbing them.
However, after Atlanna and Arthur recognized each other and shared their feelings, the excited Atlanna's heart was immediately filled with worry.
Because she knew that the only way here was through that one-way portal, and they couldn't leave unless they obtained the golden trident.
And Arthur was only thirteen now; he didn't have nearly enough strength to get it.
"How did you get here?" Atlanna asked anxiously.
"Uncle Fang brought me here." Arthur pointed at Fang Yuan. "Uncle Fang is the messenger of Poseidon, the Sea God. He came to get the golden trident and brought me along to find Mom!"
Atlanna's expression stiffened.
"Messenger of the Sea God... the trident?"
