Chapter 617 Frozen Atlantis
When Kron raised the banner of rebellion and declared his intention to overthrow Namor's rule—though things hadn't actually reached that extreme—Kron was undoubtedly a very powerful Atlantean, in fact, perhaps second only to Namor in strength, but the gap between them was enormous. If Namor hadn't been baffled as to why his army had suddenly betrayed him, he could have easily dealt with Kron on the spot.
Aside from that, Namor had no idea why those surface dwellers were so confident. Namor was just a bit impulsive; he still had his brain. After realizing there was something wrong with them, he quickly returned to the capital of Atlantis, intending to discuss the matter with his loyal subordinates before making a decision.
Yes, as the ruler of the seven seas, Namor has a group of subordinates with superpowers that are not even 18th-tier. There are people like the humanoid killer whale Oka and the cyborg Tiger Shark who has received Namor's genes. This group called "Defenders of the Abyss" can be regarded as the "Atlantis version of the Avengers" and are Namor's most loyal subordinates.
In short, he's much more loyal than that traitor Kron.
Namor quickly summoned his subordinates and held a meeting, assigning the witches in his ranks to handle magical matters, while he himself ordered the scientists of Atlantis to investigate information about the weapons used by the surface dwellers.
He didn't believe Kron's claim that "Namor is too soft on the surface people." Namor might indeed be unwilling to go to war with the surface people for some reason. But he absolutely wouldn't believe Kron's words. If he were serious, the first thing he would do would be to turn around and wipe out those surface people.
"And now, the surface people's oil wells are being constructed in an orderly manner, which is enough to prove that Kron is just trying to overthrow the rule of the legitimate king of Atlantis with a clumsy lie."
Even the usually irritable Namor couldn't help but laugh at the thought. Kron's lie was so clumsy that even he couldn't help but laugh. But it didn't matter; it wouldn't be long before he led the army of Atlantis back to conquer the land.
He would show Kron who was bowing and scraping to the surface people and who was exterminating the surface invaders.
Almost the next day, Namor, having obtained the depth charge analysis from the scientists, led his trident and army to attack. They arrived at Atlantis (another city) with almost no resistance. Namor then pointed his trident at the enemy, and his army charged forward.
"Namor the incompetent, how dare you come back?"
Kron, a blue-skinned Atlantean who had undergone bio-enhancing modifications, resembling a fish more than a typical Atlantean, arrived before Namor with his army. Namor, however, was filled with contempt and ridicule for this traitor.
"The only reason you were able to bewitch my army was through the power of a witch. Now, that witch's charm magic has long since lost its effect, and I've also found a way to counter the surface creatures' depth charges. Now, tell me, Kron, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"
Kron silently produced an antique blue crystal box inlaid with gold openwork carvings. Although he lacked any sensory abilities, Namor instinctively sensed the threat. With a roar, he ordered all his men to engage, while simultaneously throwing his trident, which slammed directly at Kron.
Namor's trident was blocked by a powerful energy shield, but he rushed forward, took the trident, and slammed it down heavily. He almost succeeded; the energy shield set up by the unknown witch nearly collapsed.
But Kron had already slightly opened the box.
An endless, biting wind blew out from within, instantly creating a vast iceberg on the seabed. The entire army of Atlantis, along with Namor's guards, were frozen solid, with only Namor, shivering from the cold, still putting up a fight.
Kron had already closed the Winter's Treasure Chest and stepped forward to grab the trident that Namor was holding.
"It's all over, Namor. I did this to prevent the destruction of the Atlanteans."
"You're talking nonsense!"
"What a pity." Kron looked at Namor: "It seems you're doomed."
A beam of multicolored light suddenly enveloped the center of the battlefield. Kron's arm was struck by the beam and instantly vaporized. Amidst his agonizing screams, he watched as the victory before him vanished.
The beam of light then connected to Avengers Tower, where Thor left Namor, who was frozen, shriveled, and dehydrated. Namor saw the Avengers and reached out his hand, trembling.
"I—Atlantis—need your help—Avengers."
Let's rewind a few minutes and see what happened on the other side.
After Thor once again traveled to the Elven kingdom to help the Elven Queen hold off Malekith's army, he returned to Asgard. As soon as he landed, Heimdall, who was guarding the Rainbow Bridge, looked at him.
"The central courtyard has been attacked, and Atlantis has been frozen."
Thor was completely baffled when he heard the news. Atlantis was within the sphere of influence of Olympus. What are you talking to me about, brother?
Then he heard Heimdall's second sentence.
"Amora stole the Winter's Treasure Chest."
Thor, who had originally planned to go and see Odin, was taken aback upon hearing the news, then asked Heimdall, "Does Odin know?"
After nodding to Heimdall, he immediately flew towards the prison. Heimdall watched Thor leave without saying a word, then sighed.
Thor stormed into the cell and arrived in front of Loki's cell. He slammed his hammer heavily onto the cell's shield. Startled by the loud noise, Loki sat up, then smiled as he watched his brother roar and smash his hammer into his cell.
"Loki!"
"What's wrong, my dear brother? Did I do something to upset you again?"
Loki stood up and walked to the edge of the cell, examining it closely for the first time. Odin's omnipotent power had constructed this cell, so much so that even Thor's hammer could not break it.
Thor angrily questioned him, "Do you know why?! You ordered Amora to steal the Winter's Chest and then freeze Atlantis! What were you thinking? Are you planning to start a war between two pantheons?"
Loki paused, but instead of answering the question directly, he looked at his brother with a smile: "Actually, this wasn't my idea."
"You mean Amora dared to enter Odin's vault and steal an ancient artifact without your permission?"
"Actually, that's exactly what your father wanted, brother. The great Almighty Father wasn't in a slumber, but did he stop a mere witch?" Loki grinned smugly, leaning against the energy wall of the cell. "Think about it, brother, why did Odin condone my actions?"
