Chapter 439 - 437 Arthur The Sea King, The Flashpoint World.
Pieces of gray clouds piled up in the sky, and the sea breeze blew the tide and lapped on the solid wooden ship.
Crystal splashes of water drenched the hair and robes of those on board.
There was a rumbling roar from the horizon as if the gods were driving a golden chariot across the sky, making loud noises like rolling thunder.
"Diana, don't rush to breathe the free air yet. You and I have to put up the tarp, or we'll soon be two idiots sitting in a boat in the rain."
Looking at the enchanted girl, Luke spoke helplessly.
Maybe it was because after listening to what he said about the Titanic, Diana stood at the bow, opened her hands, and posed in a classic way, as if she wanted to embrace the ocean.
The Amazon Princess secretly attended the competition meeting without telling her mother and successfully won.
Under the public's eyes, Hippolyta couldn't go back on her word, so she had to make Diana the messenger to mankind.
In order to ensure her daughter's safety, the Lasso of Truth, the Sword of Athena, the Star Tiara, and other equipment were all arranged.
In this way, wearing the Bracelets of Submission made by Hephaestus, Diana and Luke set off together, leaving Themyscira and heading for the outside world.
The two of them sailed along the ocean currents in a wooden sailboat made by the Amazon people.
To be honest, Luke had lamented in his heart more than once.
Sitting on this sturdy and crude ship made them look like exiled criminals instead of messengers bringing peace.
Thunder roared in the sky, and dark clouds hung low.
White, ferocious silver snakes tore through the haze, and before long, heavy rain poured down.
"Even if it rains, there will only be one rain-soaked fool, and Amazon warriors will never fear the storm."
Diana said seriously, so Luke couldn't show any disagreement later.
'I'm such a fool to reason with women! This damned feminist society!'
Quietly complaining, Luke started to build a tent.
There was no other shelter on the wooden sailboat except for the white sail.
'I don't know why the Amazonian craftsmanship is so crude and outdated.'
'Maybe they didn't even think about giving me a good boat.'
Luke couldn't help sighing at the thought of the fierce eyes of the Amazon Queen before seeing them off.
'I'm lucky that I didn't get hammered to death when running away with someone else's daughter.'
Luckily, the sailboat was spacious enough for Luke to set up the rain-proof tent quickly.
Waves lapped against the edge of the boat's side, splashing water droplets on the thick tarpaulin.
In a short time, raindrops as big as beans crashed from the sky, scratching and hitting the boat.
Wave after wave, the strong wooden boat was thrown up and down.
The two sitting on the boat felt like they were riding a roller coaster, constantly going up and down.
"Fortunately, you don't get seasick."
Luke said to the girl.
He wondered if this kind of sailing, floating with the currents, could successfully send him to land.
Judging from the geographical climate, they were near the Aegean Sea right now.
If nothing else happened, they would eventually land at a port in Athens.
"Amazon people don't get seasick …"
Diana murmured in a low voice. She was full of longing for the future life and only felt that a wonderful adventure was about to begin.
Luke, on the other hand, had a headache. He was a stranger to the world, and many things were waiting to be explored.
He wondered if it was a wise choice to bring the future Wonder Woman along.
'How can I get in touch with those superheroes?'
Luke looked down and thought. 'Although, in Wonder Woman's origin story, the era will generally be relatively outdated.'
But in case of change, fast-forward to the formation of Justice League, what identity would he use to face Superman and Batman?
'I'm your long-lost Kryptonian cousin?'
'I'm full of goodwill to the Earth. I'm close to human beings. Please don't take notice of me too much.'
This was too out of line with his style.
"Are you missing your family?"
Seeing the sudden silence of the man traveling with her, Diana asked softly, "Soon you will be able to reunite with them."
"They're in another world."
Luke shook his head gently, and his gaze seemed to penetrate the clouds.
"I'm sorry … I didn't know you …"
Diana seemed to be mistaken, thinking that Luke had an unfortunate past, so she quickly apologized.
The ship rose and fell in the rough waves out there- the turbulent currents, the swirling undercurrents, the huge forces colliding with each other.
The ocean was like a giant beast in fury, hissing violently.
Lightning flashed high in the sky, and violent energy erupted.
Lightning tore the clouds, and thunder resounded through the heavens.
"This kind of weather isn't normal."
Luke vaguely something was odd. He opened his senses. Under the deep sea, the undercurrent was surging.
A dark green sea monster with countless tentacles fiercely broke through the current and rushed out of the sea.
From the outside, it looked like a giant squid, but its head looked like a sea dragon, and its huge pupil was shining with cold light.
The sailboat was slapped by the rising waves and turned over.
Diana shrieked and fell into the sea.
As an Amazon warrior, she reacted quickly, pulling out a long sword, cutting off the tangled tentacles, and shouting Luke's name.
At this time, what the girl was most worried about was not her own safety but the safety of that man.
The sea monster whose tentacles had been cut off felt pain and seemed to be irritated. Dozens of tentacles, as thick as Themyscira's column, viciously twisted.
Diana swung the Sword of Athena to cut off a part of it, but being in the ocean made it a little hard for her to do so.
A slippery tentacle suddenly wrapped around the girl's ankle and lifted her upside down.
The huge jaws directly opened, spewing out a cloud of fishy odor.
"Damn monster!"
Diana's eyes shone with anger. Thinking that something might happen to Luke, she was even more merciless.
Sword of Athena slashed across, breaking off the slippery tentacles that were too hard to hurt with bullets, and then leaped into the air, stabbing the sea monster in one eye.
Sticky liquid splashed out and stuck on Diana.
The sea surface was polluted by dark green blood, emitting a cloud of poisonous smoke.
Diana took a few breaths and felt sick.
Her face turned pale, and a strong sense of dizziness enveloped her brain.
"Stop it, Topo!"
A loud shout stopped the sea monster's attack.
A figure rushed out of the rolling sea. He had blond hair, features as tough as a marble statue, holding a trident in his right hand.
"Who are you?"
Resisting the dizziness, Diana raised her sword to point at the other party.
This stranger could not only control the sea monster but also stand on the sea as if he was walking on the ground.
The fish scale-like golden armor was even more imposing.
All this indicated that this person's identity was extraordinary.
"My name is Arthur, Arthur Curry."
The blond man raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, indicating that he meant no harm.
"I am the master of this ocean and the owner of Topo."
"He was hunting and accidentally hurt you. I'm sorry."
The blond man who called himself 'Arthur Curry' had a gentle tone.
He tried to get close to Diana but was forced back by the Sword of Athena.
"You allowed a monster to hurt people!"
The young girl looked cold, without a trace of understanding.
"He destroyed my boat and hurt my friend!"
Thinking about Luke's disappearance, Diana's anger increased, but the more she stayed in the sea, the more intense the dizziness became as the dark green venom seeped into her body.
"Topo's blood is highly toxic. You're in critical condition and need treatment."
Arthur Curry tried to show goodwill; he looked at Diana with astonishment.
Living in Atlantis, he had never seen such a woman.
Strong, brave, and beautiful.
"Stay away from her."
A deep voice of discontent echoed on the sea.
Diana, who was light-headed and about to pass out at any moment, only felt a strong arm around her waist.
Then, she was taken into a broad and warm embrace. Her whole body leaned on the other person's solid chest.
"You didn't …"
Diana's eyes blurred, but her face was smiling.
"Of course, nothing will happen to me."
Luke nodded and said so.
Looking at Diana, whose breath was faint, his gaze turned cold.
His eyes slightly narrowed; the terrifyingly high temperature burst out and instantly vaporized the sea monster!
Before Arthur Curry could say anything, the sea shook, and the waves lifted.
The tall figure that suddenly appeared and disappeared quickly turned into a black spot in the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
'I finally know what world this is… '
Luke, who was flying at high speed and intended to return to Themyscira, slightly smiled.
"Flashpoint! A distorted space-time born of a mistake!"
