I, the native, do as I please

Chapter 254 The Return
In this invasion, Azu only got 88 certificates of glory.

Including the rest before, there are only 132 pieces.

This will not be affordable until the Year of the Monkey.

At the moment, Azu can only live with his eyes.

Then look down.

The rest are some cosmic coordinates.

The universe coordinates provided by Vera include "Wonder Woman 1984", "Pacific Rim", "Tomorrow's War", "Resident Evil", etc.

The price of these coordinates is unified into 100 certificates of glory.

"Maybe you can buy a cosmic coordinate to try your luck."

Azu closed the 'Glory Store', even if he wanted to buy a coordinate, it would be after he went back.

But he didn't intend to go back so soon.

The three mother boxes are on Paradise Island. Azu managed to get these three things, thinking that he must get some benefits from them before leaving.

So after spending some time with the second daughter, Helena, Azu felt refreshed and got up to find the Queen of Amazons.

"You want to study the mother box?"

Hippolyta's eyes fell on Azu, and Diana also looked over nervously.

Azu nodded and said: "Don't worry, I won't let them trinity."

"In fact, I plan to study just one of them."

He thought to himself, if Hippolyta disagreed, then he would just start the robbery.

After all, he got the three mother boxes back. He is so polite to Hippolyta now because of the long-term benefits of being an 'ally'.

Hippolyta glanced at Diana, and then said: "The Apocalypse retreated because of you, and you collected the mother boxes, so you naturally have the right to study them."

"Diana, you take 'The Conqueror' to the new temple."

Diana stood up: "Mother."

She seemed to want to say something, but Hippolyta shook her head, so Diana said to Azu, "Please follow me."

The so-called new temple is just a stone house in which the mother box is enshrined, guarded by Amazon warriors.

Now that the palace is being rebuilt, there is no better place to place the mother box.

Diana arrives, winks at the Amazons, and the female warriors leave the house.

Azu picked up one of them, smiled and said to Diana, "Do you want to study it with me?"

Diana frowned slightly, then shook her head: "No, I'm not interested in these alien machines."

She exited the stone house.

So only Azu was left in the room.

Azu took off the 'cloak of justice', and then expanded his 'biological force field' into a spherical space.

He held a mother box, his eyes shot out golden light, and fell on the mother box to activate it, just like last time.

But this time, Azu quickly realized something was wrong.

The mother box didn't respond at all, and the metal cube seemed to be dead, without the slightest reaction.

"How could this be?"

Azu stopped, and replaced other mother boxes. After trying it, he found that it was the same.

These mother boxes do not respond to external stimuli at all, which makes Azu puzzled.

He studied for an afternoon.

He had no results until evening, when Diana knocked at the door and came in.

Finally can only give up.

"I don't know what went wrong."

"Is it because Apocalypse retreated?"

"Or is it because after experiencing this incident, the mother box felt that the time to wake up had been missed, so it fell into a deep sleep again?"

"Then why was I able to activate them last time?"

Azu shook his head, unable to think of an answer.

Since the mother box didn't respond, Azu didn't want to waste time staying in this universe.

So I chose to leave this DC universe the next day.

After Azu left.

'Sea King' Arthur also returned to his home by the sea, and saw the all-too-familiar lighthouse and an old man under the lighthouse looking at the sea.

Arthur looked at the old man, thinking how long had he been since he came back?
In that battle in Russia, when he was killed by the 'Conqueror', the last flashing picture of him was this lighthouse and the old man under the lighthouse.

Fortunately, because of Barry Allen, he came back to life.

So after leaving Russia, Arthur came back here.

"How long are you going to stand there?" Arthur's father, Thomas Curry, turned around and smiled.

Arthur responded with a smile, strode forward, and hugged his father tightly.

"I miss you so much, son."

"I'm really afraid that you, like your mother, left and never came back."

Thomas Curry kept patting his son's broad and strong back.

Arthur smiled and said, "I can't bear to part with you, a lovely old man."

"How about going for a drink together?"

"Okay, let me see if your drinking capacity has improved." Thomas laughed.

They left the lighthouse and walked toward Thomas' old pickup.

It was late at night when Arthur drove his pickup back home.

Thomas had already fallen asleep, and the old man leaned back on the leather chair and fell asleep soundly.

Arthur smiled, carried his father back into the house, went to his bedroom, and gently put Thomas on the bed.

Then he took off his shoes and covered him with a quilt. Then Arthur walked to the living room, took a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, and came to the lighthouse.

Sitting on the pier, he flicked his thumb and the bottle cap popped out, then tilted his head back and took a gulp of beer.

At this time, the light from the lighthouse flashed across the sea, causing a brief light on the sea.

After the light from the lighthouse passed, the light on the sea surface did not disappear, and the light came from under the sea!
Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up, and looked into the distance.

I saw a warship floating there, like a devil fish, quietly but quickly approaching the lighthouse.

The lights on the ship went out, and two figures stepped out of the cab.

With bright red hair like flames, exquisite and beautiful facial features, and a hot figure in blue scale armor, it is Princess Mera.

The other is a gray-haired old man, Arthur's teacher, Atlanta's loyal subordinate, Vico.

Arthur took a sip of beer: "Why are you here?"

Mera said solemnly, "Arthur, you must go back to Atlantis, we need you."

Arthur put down the bottle, laughed and said, "Come on, what am I going to do, there is no place for me there."

Vico said in a deep voice: "Now there is."

"Your brother, King Orm of Atlantis, has fallen."

"Now Atlantis needs a new king."

"That man is you, Arthur."

Arthur couldn't help but startled: "Aum, dead?"

"why?"

"How did he die?"

Mera looked at the old man next to him, sighed and said, "He was eager to expand, so he found an excuse to attack Paradise Island."

"But he failed. Not only did he die, but the army that attacked Paradise Island also died."

Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly: "Amazon?"

Vico shook his head: "No, it's 'Conqueror'!"
