Chapter 190 Xiao Jiujiu In Nereus’ Heart
Atlantis.
Dane threw the several parasite entities he caught in front of everyone.
"Are these people a threat?"
King Zebel, Nereus, thought that these people were human beings.
"These people are dead, but their bodies are still alive and have been taken over by 'parasites'."
Dane knew that their mortal bodies could not be seen, so Tian Jian pointed his finger at the back of a person's head.
The man coughed violently and sprayed out a small piece of squirming worm from his mouth. If you look closely, you will find that it looks like a newly formed embryo.
Mera frowned and refused to look at it, it was too disgusting.
Fortunately, this is a dry environment rather than water, otherwise Mera would not even want to be in the same room with such a thing.
Dane pointed a finger, and the parasite flew up and floated in the air.
He opened his fingers, and the "parasite" was disintegrated without any resistance, revealing the internal structure.
Not only does this thing look similar to an embryo, it is also very similar to an embryo in structure.
Almost all the cells in its body are totipotent cells that can differentiate into any tissue at will.
This thing is more like a universal factory on Biochemistry 24 than a living thing.
As long as there are design drawings, that is, genetic information, the corresponding tissues, organs, and protein molecules can be produced at will.
This is also why the "parasite" can grow Cthulhu-like tentacles on humans. It must have the design drawings of this part to do it.
When they invaded other civilizations, they were actually collecting the unique genes of each major civilization, forming a very rich and large gene pool.
But these genetic wealth still cannot help them survive independently of their hosts.
This leads to success and failure. Their "parasitic" characteristics make them invincible in biological competition, but they cannot synthesize a perfect life form that combines wisdom and strength on their own.
Therefore, "parasites" must rely on the bodies of other intelligent life forms to possess higher intelligence.
Once they lose this body, their wisdom will disappear like a flash in the pan.
They cannot synthesize the brain of a higher animal in the body of a lower animal for a long time because the two are not suitable, which is against natural science.
Dane also discovered that this "parasite" reproduces through mitosis, which means that it is difficult for them to evolve through genetic mutations.
And there are signs of editing in the genes of these "bugs."
In other words, these "parasites" may have undergone genetic modification, but it has not changed their natural defects.
He probably guessed some of the purpose of this thing targeting Atlantis.
If natural science fails, then you can only try the power of magic. Atlantis is a civilization based on magic and natural science.
First use genetic weapons to eliminate everyone on Atlantis, and then let the "parasite" race parasitize on the corpses of people under the sea. In this way, a new "Atlantic civilization" will die on the basis of the old civilization. And resurrected.
They might have the opportunity to use the power of magic to completely modify the flaws in their genes and become a truly complete civilization.
Maybe they can take advantage of the situation and take over human civilization again without any bloodshed.
To be honest, the human population and technological strength still make them very afraid, and head-on confrontation should be the last thing they want to face.
But now their plans have been ruined by Dane, and he is curious what will be the next move of these "bugs"?
Arthur looked at the human who vomited out "parasites" and couldn't help but feel sympathy.
Some people..."
Dane said sadly: "They have been dead for a long time."
If the person dies within the scope of the dream, Dane can save the person by flipping his hand, because in the dream, he can turn death into an illusion.
For example, the two groups of visiting Suicide Squad members can be resurrected.
But Dane didn't think these people died unjustly, and he had no intention of helping them return to the world.
But there is a guy named "Vixen" here. He seems to be a superhero, right? How come he got mixed up with the Sky Eye Society?
He turned his gaze to Arthur: "Arthur, Atlantis should be safe for the time being. After this incident, these 'parasites' should not come to invade you again for a while."
After speaking, he "pulled" the parasites out of the remaining people.
"What? Are you planning to leave now?" Arthur asked.
Mera heard this and quietly turned her eyes over.
Nessance looked at this scene and secretly narrowed his eyes.
Dane nodded, "Yes, now that the matter here has come to an end for the time being, I will take these things back to the Justice Building for further research.
Moreover, the information Cortana downloaded from the Atlantis central system also needs to be kept properly.
Atlantis also has some good materials, such as Atlantis steel, which is also a material with very good magic conductivity.
Their water ion reaction technology needs to be used in conjunction with the magical properties of this material.
He just happened to take a little time to go back and study. It is said that Atlantis also has a rare metal called Poseidon Steel, which is the main raw material for making the sacred trident.
Unfortunately, there is no such magical metal in Atlantis. Dane guesses that it may be better than the eternal metal and on par with the N metal.
After he said he was leaving, Arthur immediately responded: "I'll go back with you!"
"Arthur! You must stay! Atlantis still needs you!" Atlanna was furious and slapped him hard.
This is already a very embarrassing thing for a queen who attaches great importance to image.
"I am a member of the Justice League, and I should definitely stand with the Justice League at this time. This is not a matter of people on the surface, but a matter of all human beings, whether they are people under the sea or people on the surface!"
Arthur said righteously.
This actually left Atlanna speechless. That was true, but things had to be prioritized.
Not long after you became king, you went out to stay with a bunch of surface people. What did you make the people think?
Arthur said that they wanted to think whatever they wanted, and if they pushed him too hard, they would start to act!
Why is he here to be a king? He is clearly here to be a public servant to the Atlanteans.
It's inexplicable, I haven't eaten a piece of your steak or drank a drop of your wine. Why?
Nessance's eyes were opened. As expected, the rumors were untrue. He really believed the rumors that Arthur sought the throne through political means.
This man didn't seem to want to be the king at all, and a certain idea in his mind began to stir again.
His original arrangement for Mera was for her to marry the King of Atlantis and become the Queen of Atlantis, no matter who sat on the throne.
It doesn't matter whether it's Orm or Arthur, as long as he's the king, it doesn't matter if he's of mixed blood or something.
But Arthur can hardly be called a qualified king like this. What if he marries Mera here and Arthur suddenly declares that he is no longer the king? What will she do?
Although according to the law of throne succession, Mera is eligible to inherit her husband's throne, she can only inherit it after her husband's death.
And even if Mera were to inherit the throne, her position would not be as good as Atlanna, who has the blood of King Atlan.
And Nessance didn't think Atlanna would agree to such a thing. If the two of them had a conflict, they would probably have to go through a palace fight.
And Orm is not dead after all. No one can say which day he will come back to compete with Arthur for the throne.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a lot of trouble in Atlantis.
And he also saw that Arthur seemed to be very uncommunicative.
Why not simply change the target?
Now that the Kingdom of Xebel has been defeated by Atlantis, its future national policies will basically be in line with those of the victorious countries. Atlantis obviously wants to coexist peacefully with the surface world.
Then why isn't his investment more bold? Why should it be limited to the underwater world?
If you look a little wider, wouldn't the range of options be much wider?
Xebel is a martial kingdom, so Mera’s husband must be strong enough in martial arts. The most powerful and powerful man in the surface world, Nilesong, knows one.
