Marvel's Superman

Chapter 176 - 173 A Celestial\'s Armor, Central Energy Institute.

In front of Namor and Sebastian Shaw, there was a giant island, similar to Atlantis.

There were huge buildings on it. But, unfortunately, the magnificent palace had long since collapsed into a crumbling ruin, deep in the ocean. ??

Only a few dozen sturdy stone pillars remain standing. They were the \'Pillars of Hercules,\' which could trigger a defensive shield to defend against external enemies.

After tens of thousands of years and repeated erosion by the cold seawater, the engraved metal circuits and patterns on the surface had become indistinct and unrecognizable.

"This used to be the largest and most magnificent city in the land world. At its peak, tens of millions of people lived on the island until the day of destruction. "

"Its name has long been lost in history, even in ancient books, so the Atlanteans called it the Lost City. "

Namor walked down the lowered ramp from the cockpit, followed by Sebastian Shaw in his breathing equipment.

The latter was wearing suit-like armor, and a translucent energy field was opened around it to resist the terrible water pressure from all sides.

The two successfully set foot on the giant island and moved forward to the city\'s inner ring.

In ancient Atlantis, the architectural style was very atmospheric, similar to the ancient Greek style.

Most of them adopted huge stone pillars and ornate reliefs, with spacious space and good views.

The architectural layout paid attention to distinct classes, like concentric circles with one layer nested on top of another.

The inner-circle was a temple dedicated to the gods and the circle of noble people.

The outer layers were civilians and freemen.

Also, due to the different classes, there were strict regulations on building height.

The farther inside, the larger the ruins would be.

There were towering lighthouses that had collapsed and solemn temples with gold and silver gildings.

It wasn\'t difficult to see that Atlantis did have its peak.

It was a prehistoric civilization that ruled the earth together with the Lemurian civilization!

Unfortunately, before Atlantis could embark on their great journey to the stars, they didn\'t even make it out of the novice village before they were dealt with a devastating blow by the Celestials, a group of top-tier big boys.

In the end, they had no choice but to delete the account and start over, changing from a land-based civilization to a marine civilization.

"What\'s that?"

As they went deeper and deeper, many large sea creatures made waves and lurked in the shadows.

Sebastian was a little nervous. The deep-sea wasn\'t his main battlefield.

If they encountered an enemy, Namor might not be able to protect him.

"The guardian of the lost city. This is their territory now. We are … intruders."

Namor waved his hand, indicating to Sebastian that there was no need to be nervous.

As the king of Atlantis, he could communicate spiritually with marine life.

Namor\'s mouth soundlessly moved as if he were saying a mouthful of incantations.

The invisible waves spread out along the sea.

Guru! Guru!

A few moments later, the beast in the lead exhaled a series of air bubbles as if in response.

Then, they seemed to regain their calmness and retreated to their dark nests.

"The ultimate weapon is located in the underground corridor. The previous Kings of Atlantis never thought of using it and thought it would never be used again. So, they sealed it in the Lost City and left it to be guarded by sea creatures. "

Namor took Sebastian to the largest ruin in the city.

This was once the supreme temple dedicated to the god of the sea; now it was deserted; hadn\'t seen any visitors for a long time.

"I\'m forced to do this. I hope the forefathers of Atlantis and my Mother would understand. "

After comforting himself, Namor started the mechanism.

Rumble!

The ground was shaking.

The ground of the highest temple slowly sank. The sound of gears clenching and machinery rotating all together turned into a booming concerto.

The sea became turbid all of a sudden, and a large amount of mud and dust was stirred up, forming numerous small whirlpools.

The still standing Pillar of Hercules moved its position and struck the last note.

The ultimate weapon, sealed in the underground corridor and unseen for tens of thousands of years, was finally exposed to the eyes of the two men.

Sebastian\'s eyes were wide open, holding his breath.

He was shocked by this huge \'machine\'!

The seamless metal shell revealed a cold, hard, solid feeling.

Roughly estimated, it was about 2,000 feet (over 600 meters).

If it were placed upright instead of lying on the ground, it would be half as tall as the Empire State Building in New York.

A giant weapon of this size was incredible!

"Is this a planetary weapon?"

Sebastian took a deep breath. His voice seemed a little stuffy because he was wearing the breathing equipment.

"Yes, this is the Continental Shelf Oscillator! A terrible existence that could destroy the world!"

Namor nodded vigorously.

…

…

"Is this a planetary weapon?"

Luke, who was far away in Ellis Island, was shocked and rarely lost his cool.

The look on his face, as if he wanted to blurt out the phrase \'sh*t!\' out.

That\'s because Luke knew about this thing!

Or, to be more precise, he saw it in the comics before crossing!

"That\'s it. Although I didn\'t witness the glorious history of tens of thousands of years ago, Kamar Taj has records of the Continental Shelf Oscillators. It\'s consistent with those described in the book. "

The Ancient One nodded and confirmed.

As an observer of the timeline, she also had limits.

The Sorcerer Supreme used the Eye of Agamotto to trace back to the oldest era, at the final battle between the Dark Elves and Asgard.

It was the most turbulent time in the Nine Realms, and Odin, the Allfather, the King of the Gods, hadn\'t succeeded the throne.

The leader of Asgard was his father, King Bor.

The Celestials destroyed the two major civilizations, Atlantis and Lemuria, which was a special period.

There were endless kinds of ancient gods. It could be described as having Allfathers everywhere. He wasn\'t a single cosmic dimension God; he would be embarrassed to greet people when he goes out.

Even the Sorcerer Supreme had never ventured into the ancient times when the Eternals and the Deviants, the ancient gods, and the primitive humans lived together.

\'But this is the armor of a Celestial …\'

Luke was silent and thought to himself.

The Celestials are one of the first intelligent races born in the universe and are an unknown immaterial conscious-energy being with no specific shape or appearance.

Therefore, they all wore giant armor made of metal.

The most common image of the majestic being was a steel form over 2000 feet tall.

Luke was impressed by this, so when he saw Namor open the mechanism and take out the ultimate weapon.

He immediately recognized that it was not a Continental Shelf Oscillator at all.

But when you think about it, the Atlanteans weren\'t wrong.

It had the terrifying power to sink continents and destroy planets.

After all, each Celestial possesses the power that went beyond the level of the Allfather.

If released, not to mention the North American continent, even the earth would suffer.

"Master Ancient One, do you know how to … operate the planetary class weapon?"

Luke couldn\'t help but tug at the corners of his mouth, admiring the brains of the Atlanteans for using a Celestial\'s armor as the ultimate weapon.

Its real function should be to prevent cosmic energy from leaking out and causing unpredictable and terrible effects.

"In ancient times, Atlantis had a good understanding of how to use the energy of the universe. "

Like an encyclopedia with rich knowledge, the Ancient One casually said, "They have developed a brand-new energy system, which uses unknown substances similar to crystal glass to absorb solar energy. In the Lost City, you can see, there used to be a Solar Palace in the inner ring, which is the central energy source of Atlantis. "

Hearing this, Luke\'s eyes lit up.

Absorbing solar energy?

It\'s not a coincidence!
