Sea, beach, Sun, beautiful women, these might indeed be more attractive than Atlantis at certain times.
But—
It's not like you have to choose one or the other. Why can't you have both?!
Although Atlanteans cannot 'easily' become Thor like Amazonians and form the Thunder God Legion, their underwater combat ability is unique in Samuel's opinion and serves another purpose.
You should know that the Marvel Universe also has Atlantis, and Marvel's Aquaman Namo is almost identical to DC's Aquaman Arthur Curry in terms of identity.
Both are half-Atlantean and half-human, and both became the King of Atlantis.
It's just that Namo's personality is not likable; sometimes he's considered a hero, and sometimes a villain.
Following the development trend of the Marvel Universe, Samuel feels that he will most likely be involved with him in the future; even if not, Madripoor and other places will need Atlanteans skilled in underwater combat.
So from the moment Samuel thought about next year when Atlanta, the Queen of Atlantis, would leave Atlantis to escape marriage, he had the idea of incorporating Atlanta — cough, cough, I mean Atlantis!
Moreover, putting Atlanteans aside, Atlantis's own wealth and technological level are similar to that of the equally reclusive Wakanda next door.
Especially in terms of technology, taking Water as the research direction, they not only have unlimited energy technology, but also endless black technologies utilizing Water such as ion beams and underwater battleships.
Although these technologies are useless to Samuel himself, they are useful to his subordinates or the territories he rules, and besides, who would dislike having more good things?
In the dark depths of the sea, the unspeakable cold and heavy pressure prevent most land people from entering the mysterious and unknown World of The Deep.
This was Samuel's first time diving so deep into the sea; although he is not good at swimming, his speed was not slow at all.
Super vision and super hearing guided him quickly to the entrance of Atlantis.
Looking from afar, a brightly decorated, colorful bridge stood in the depths of the sea, and the end of the bridge led directly to a huge azure energy gate.
Inside the gate is Atlantis!
Near the huge portal, there was a statue of an Atlantean wearing armor and holding a trident; the statue was very large, several times bigger than the portal, and looked quite imposing at a glance.
At this time, fish-shaped underwater ships were moving forward in an orderly manner on the bridge, and in front of the portal, several guards riding unknown sharks or whales were patrolling closely.
On the high wall above the portal, there were also countless high-pressure Water cannons that looked very futuristic.
Samuel did not force his way in, but chose to become invisible, adjusted his body density, and then entered the portal with a fish ship.
In the large building inside the portal, soldiers wearing special armor were pointing and gesturing at the high-tech holographic screen in front, which displayed the records of the fishing boats.
Simply put, this is equivalent to border control; entry is not allowed without registration or a pass.
"Bang!"
Samuel truly passed through the portal with the fishing boat and entered Atlantis.
Upon entering, what came into view were various magnificent underwater city buildings; although Samuel had seen them in movies, how could a fleeting glimpse compare to the shock of seeing them up close?
Seeing this, Samuel truly felt a bit like wandering back and forth, forgetting to return!
Purely from an architectural style perspective, Samuel is willing to call this place the most beautiful!
"Hmm?" Samuel's ears twitched slightly, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, and then a teleportation disappeared.
The next moment, he appeared in a spacious palace no different from land.
Although called a palace, its style was not ancient or elegant, but rather had a sense of future technology fashion.
On one side of the palace, there was a large bed against the wall; sitting on the bed was a blonde woman in a tight silver dress; the tight dress, layered like scales, outlined her figure perfectly, making it truly stunning!
Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her soft sobs were barely audible.
As the Queen of Atlantis, symbolizing supreme power, Atlanta's life was not only not free to do as she pleased, but she also had to accept many things she didn't want to do.
For example, political marriage.
Although she was the only daughter of the King of Atlantis and the current Queen of Atlantis, possessing royal status and bloodline, she was after all a woman, and she had to obey the marriage designated by her elders...
Her 'fiancé' was Ovakx, the Captain of the Atlantis Guard.
Originally, the marriage between the Queen and the Captain of the Guard should have been a perfect combination; the Queen possessed the royal bloodline, and the Captain of the Guard possessed the strength to help the Queen control or stabilize Atlantis.
But Atlanta did not like Ovakx; although reason told her that choosing Ovakx was right, dislike was simply dislike!
This kind of marriage, this kind of life, was not what she wanted at all!
She only wanted a man she loved, a man she chose, to become her husband!
However, she could not refuse, nor could she choose!
No!
It should be said that her only choice was to escape marriage, to escape Atlantis!
Atlanta knew she shouldn't do this, and couldn't do this, but this thought lingered in her mind and even grew stronger.
"You want to escape marriage?"
In the darkness, she seemed to hear a voice asking her.
"I, I know this is wrong, but I really dare not believe what will happen if I marry Ovakx! So, yes, I want to escape marriage, but I —"
Atlanta said subconsciously, but halfway through, she suddenly realized that this voice was not a hallucination in her mind, but a real sound.
"Who, who is speaking!"
Atlanta was instantly startled, sat up directly, and scanned the entire room.
However —
She didn't see anyone at all!
Atlanta was stunned for a moment; her first reaction was that she might have misheard, that someone wasn't speaking, but that she was really having auditory hallucinations.
But soon she dismissed this idea!
Although she could not resist the ancient rules of the kingdom, it did not mean that she was really a useless vase Queen except for her bloodline.
She was very sure that the voice just now was real!
"Come out! I know You are here!" Atlanta warned coldly while reaching for the five-pronged trident beside her.
A low chuckle sounded in the empty space in front of her, and then a figure slowly appeared in her line of sight.
