Chapter 366 Illuminati: Plan Success
Even if Aquaman wasn't a Hero known for Speed, as a Superhuman, his Speed was still beyond what Ordinary People could react to.
Even Black Manta, wearing the Battle Suit made by the Illuminati that comprehensively enhanced his physical fitness, could only barely keep up with Aquaman's Speed at this moment. By the time the second Light Beam on Black Manta's Visor was still charging up, Aquaman had already pounced in front of him.
Ducking to avoid the two scarlet Light Beams, Aquaman grabbed Black Manta's Helmet directly with both hands. With a cracking sound, Aquaman tore Black Manta's Helmet in half, revealing his True Identity.
The Rage in Aquaman's eyes seemed to materialize, but he was very surprised when he saw the True Face of his enemy, because the Face under the Mask was not Black Manta at all. Although it was also a black person, it was vastly different from Black Manta.
"Where is he!" Aquaman asked sternly, knowing he had been played by Black Manta.
"You'll never know." The fake Black Manta mocked the Lord of the Seven Seas in front of him. He quietly pulled out Black Manta's Trident hidden in his Battle Suit and stabbed it towards Aquaman's Head.
"Slap!"
Aquaman dodged the Trident's stab sideways, grabbed the Trident body, and then pulled along the momentum, dragging the fake Black Manta over.
"Bang!"
Supporting the fake Black Manta in the air, Aquaman raised his Right Leg and kicked him directly in the chest. The Armor on the fake Black Manta's chest shattered upon impact, and he spat out a mouthful of Fresh Blood, flying backwards and crashing into an Instrument. Crackling Sparks flashed, and the Instrument was directly scrapped.
"Cough cough cough!"
The fake Black Manta coughed violently, Fresh Blood flowing from his Mouth. Fortunately, thanks to the Protection of the Armor, his Injury only looked frightening, and it wouldn't be life-threatening for the time being.
Before the fake Black Manta could catch his breath, a dark shadow had already shrouded him. The fake Black Manta looked up, and the dark shadow was none other than Aquaman.
"I'll ask you one more time." Aquaman pressed the Trident he had seized against the fake Black Manta's Scalp.
"Where is he!"
"Hehehe!"
Due to his Injury, the fake Black Manta could only let out a weird laugh, but this did not prevent him from mocking Aquaman.
"So eager to know, then I'll tell you." The fake Black Manta said after estimating the Time in his Heart.
"Boss guessed your Action long ago. He already surfaced in a Small Submarine before you chased after him. He should have escaped to the Ground by now."
Hearing the fake Black Manta's words, Aquaman's Face turned terribly dark. Coupled with the fact that he was backlit, Aquaman's complexion was no different from his enemy's at this moment.
"You little fish, I wonder if you can still jump around when you get ashore."
"Whoosh!"
Aquaman suddenly erupted, pulled out the Trident, and stabbed it towards the fake Black Manta Underfoot. The Speed was really too fast, and Jackson, who had just walked over, couldn't react at all.
The fake Black Manta was covered in sweat. The Trident stopped at the tip of his nose, the sharp Trident tip piercing his Skin, and warm Fresh Blood flowed out, running down his Cheek and into his Battle Suit. Normally, this wouldn't happen, but Aquaman had destroyed his Battle Suit, resulting in it losing its airtightness.
The reason Aquaman didn't stab down wasn't because he didn't want to, but because Yang Le's Right Hand was grabbing the Trident body, preventing Aquaman from killing the fake Black Manta.
"Calm down, Arthur." Yang Le tensed all his Muscle, knowing that Ripjaws' Power was still not enough to wrestle with Aquaman, also thanks to Aquaman not using his full Power.
Even so, Yang Le felt severe pain in his Palm. This was because he didn't grab the Trident tightly immediately, and the Trident body actually slipped out of his Palm for a while. It was like grabbing a rope without any Protection measures. Yang Le was sure his Palm was definitely friction burned.
Not only that, Yang Le's Body belatedly gave him feedback in other places. He estimated that many places all over his Body had received strains, and Muscle tears were also possible. This was only because he stopped Aquaman's attack.
It has to be admitted that Ordinary Alien Heroes are very difficult to compare with Tycoon-level Super Heroes. Maybe many people think Aquaman is just a Super Hero with no special features, who only knows how to talk to fish, because of this Meme, The Boys even has a Hero Deep Sea modeled after him.
But Aquaman's reality is far more than that. This one possesses the strength to pull continental Panels. Although not as good as Superman, not just anyone can take advantage of him.
"We still can't kill him." Yang Le Controlled the Omnitrix and Transformation into Four Arms, not to wrestle with Aquaman, but just to clear the negative Effects on his Body. One of the Little Broken Watch's Abilities is that after the wearer Transformation, it will clear all Injuries received in the previous Form, but unfortunately, the Injuries received by the wearer's True Form cannot be cleared.
"Since he can become Black Manta's stand-in, it means his relationship with Black Manta must be unusual. Otherwise, Black Manta wouldn't have chosen him, and he wouldn't willingly resist a Superhuman's Rage for Black Manta. We can get a lot of Intelligence about Black Manta from him."
Aquaman remained silent, but he loosened his Hand holding the Trident, looking like he was persuaded by Yang Le. The fake Black Manta, seeing that Aquaman was not preparing to kill him, was preparing to say something, but was slapped by the discovered Yang Le with his second Right Hand and then fainted.
"Notification to the Atlantis Troops." Aquaman breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jackson behind him.
"Let them arrest everyone here!"

Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, some bubbles suddenly emerged on the peaceful Sea level, and then a Small Submarine surfaced. The Hatch on top of the Submarine opened, and Black Manta, wearing an Ordinary Battle Suit, crawled out from inside.
Taking off his Helmet, warm Sunlight shone on his Body. Black Manta greedily breathed mouthfuls of fresh Air. The salty Sea Wind naturally drilled into his nostrils. His Mood hadn't been this good for a long Time.
This was not just because he escaped from Aquaman's Hand and played that Lord of the Seven Seas around in circles, but even more because his Mission was completed.
Taking out a Glass Jar from under his Battle Suit Armor, inside it stored a Palm-sized Meat Chunk, precisely what he cut from that lump of big Meat chunk.
"Rumble!"
The roar of an Airplane came. Black Manta looked up, and a Seaplane was flying towards his Direction. Looking at that familiar livery, Black Manta knew the people picking him up were here. Because of his good Mood, he rarely waved his Hand at the Plane.
"Looks like he succeeded." Ra's al Ghul's Corner of Mouth turned up. "The most important step in the Plan succeeded. It seems this World will eventually return to the embrace of light."
