Messiah raised his right hand, his golden eyes were calm, and a cold air current rose up from his body.

A brilliant golden light came on.

Messiah uses his abilities as he pleases, unleashing his destructive power, destroying everything in his sight.

Corpses fell into the sea one after another, and the lobsters that the Messiah had once looked at with curiosity also turned over.

Messiah doesn't know if his actions are right, but he chooses to trust Superman.

Superman is a pioneer. Since you have chosen to follow Superman, you must not hesitate or regret.

——They are protecting humanity and preventing the emergence of the next metropolis.

A one-way defense line was built along the Atlantic coastline. Any Atlanteans who approached this defense line, no matter whether they really wanted to go ashore and destroy the land or were just passing by unintentionally, would be firmly intercepted outside the coastline by Messiah.

It is called interception, but it is actually destruction.

The strong smell of blood spread across the Atlantic Ocean, and the sea water was dyed red. Even the vast ocean could not dilute the blood for a while.

Superman smelled blood, he dodged Aquaman's attack and looked back in surprise.

The Messiah was standing in the sky, looking down indifferently, with the corpses of the Atlanteans at his feet bobbing with the waves.

"Mi..."

Superman's voice was stuck as he called out the Messiah's name, and an inexplicable regret welled up in his chest.

Messiah did obey his orders and did not allow the Atlantean army to come ashore.

But stopping Atlantis by killing, is that what he wants...?

The violence in Superman's eyes faded, and the long-lost clarity emerged. He looked at the appearance of the Messiah and inexplicably thought of the child who imitated him to rescue the cleaner who fell from the building.

this……

However, before Superman could continue thinking, Aquaman's roar interrupted his thoughts.

"Super! Human! Mi! Sai! Ya!"

Standing in the sea dyed red by the blood of the Atlanteans, Aquaman showed unprecedented sadness and anger, and almost roared out the names of Superman and Messiah.

Aquaman stared at Messiah and Superman, and said word by word: "I will make you pay the price."

The camaraderie and kindness towards humanity of the Justice League had all vanished, leaving only the deep hatred after losing their people.

Wonder Woman stared at the scene in a daze. She blocked Mera's angry attack, and Aquaman's weeping cry briefly awakened her sanity.

Why did it turn out like this?

Shazam wanted to know too.

Arthur is friends with them, they just want to bring peace to the world, and Arthur just wants to protect Atlantis.

None of them did anything wrong, so why did it turn out like this?

Should Messiah be blamed? But Messiah was not wrong. He just wanted to protect the people on the shore, and the regime has always adopted this method - killing criminals to protect humans.

Aquaman raised his trident high, and the sea answered his call.

The calm sea suddenly became stormy, with each wave higher than the last. High waves rose along the coast, and a tsunami roared towards the land.

At the summons of the trident, all the armies of Atlantis appeared in the ocean. The Atlanteans, armed with weapons, all pressed towards the land, and the sea water gradually flooded the coast.

The angry Aquaman wants to flood the land with sea water, and Atlantis has invaded human cities on the coastline under his command.

When Superman heard the screams coming from all over the world, anger once again clouded his mind, and the brief resurgence of rationality disappeared in an instant.

He quickly rushed forward and fought with Aquaman again.

Superman and Aquaman both used all their strength. They no longer held back and attacked each other with the intention of killing each other.

Wonder Woman no longer held back. She knocked the weapon out of Mera's hand with one strike. After subduing Mera, she quickly flew towards the coast where the Atlanteans landed.

The Justice League members who had originally reserved their positions in the Hall of Justice and the Watchtower also showed up, and the super-powered army and the Atlantis army started a war on the coastline.

The regime went to all-out war with Atlantis.

Green Lantern exerted all his strength and used his willpower to build a green wall on the coast, firmly blocking the spreading sea water.

But there is only one Green Lantern, and even though the Flash and others are constantly rescuing people who are drowned in the sea, the number of casualties is still increasing.

Messiah…Messiah didn’t understand.

He stared blankly at the red sea, with screams and wails coming one after another in his ears.

Did he do something wrong?

While Messiah was distracted, he continued to output his strength and single-handedly maintained the defense line of the Atlantic coast.

Why did he obey Superman's words to protect humanity, but instead caused more humans to lose their lives?

The conflict between the regime and Atlantis is intensifying. Humans, super-powered armies, and Atlanteans are still fighting, and a new life is dying every moment.

Cherish life?

Messiah increased the output of his power. He was unable to protect the Atlantic coastline that was constantly spreading inland, and could only rely on killing to prevent the Atlanteans from continuing to land.

What is the meaning of life?

The Messiah thought that they negotiated with Atlantis for the sake of peace on Earth, but now it has brought a new war.

Why?

Superman grabbed Aquaman's neck, his eyes burning with anger, and roared, "Stop!"

"I demand you stop!"

Aquaman's face turned purple from suffocation, but anger still burned in his eyes: "I...no."

He clenched the trident tightly, swung it with his last bit of strength, and stabbed Superman's chest hard.

The enchanted trident ripped a piece of flesh from the Man of Steel, and Superman was forced to let go of Aquaman.

Aquaman staggered a few steps and fell into the sea. The sea water gently caressed her child and healed Aquaman's wounds.

Superman looked at Aquaman with a grim face. The sun's rays shone on his body, and his wounds healed quickly under the effect of the yellow sunlight.

This can't go on any longer.

Superman looked around, his eyes fixed on the confused Messiah, and an idea quickly emerged in his mind.

He knew what to do.

"I'll say this once," Superman issued his ultimatum, "withdraw the water and get Atlantis to withdraw."

"impossible!"

Aquaman said murderously: "Unless both you and Messiah die!"

Although he has been fighting with Superman, Aquaman has not forgotten the Messiah. It's just that Superman's power prevents him from distracting himself to attack the Messiah.

"very good."

Superman took a deep breath, his eyes completely cold: "You forced me to do this, Arthur."

"Shazam, take over!"

Superman shouted Shazam's name, and Shazam quickly appeared beside Superman and took over the fight with Aquaman.

"I'll leave this place to you." Superman said quickly and urgently, "I've found a way to stop Atlantis. I'll be back soon."

Shazam's eyes lit up: "Okay!"

Although he doesn't know what Superman will do, Shazam believes that Superman will definitely do what he says, and he is very happy that this unnecessary war is about to end.

"Messiah."

Superman took two quick breaths and called out the Messiah's name, knowing that the Messiah could hear him.

Just as Superman thought, the next second, the Messiah appeared beside him.

"Let's go, Messiah." Superman said to Messiah, "Go to Atlantis and stop this war."

Messiah stopped outputting power: "Stop?"

"Yes, stop it."

Superman plunged into the water with Messiah, swam quickly to the bottom of the sea, and found the kingdom belonging to the sea.

Atlantis

After the entire Atlantean army assembled to invade the land, only civilians and a small number of soldiers remained in Atlantis.

But the Atlanteans here are the most numerous.

Whether on land or under the sea, the number of civilians is always far greater than the number of soldiers.

The war and turmoil on the sea did not disturb the land of Atlantis. Schools of fish were chasing and playing around, and several Atlanteans were playing happily until two uninvited guests broke the peace.

Superman looked at Atlantis in front of him and told Messiah his plan in an extremely calm tone.

"Help me, Messiah." Superman's eyes burned with a familiar brutality. "Let Atlantis know our power."

"I won't allow them to continue hurting lives."

The Messiah looked at Superman silently, the dark and twisted vortex almost swallowing up the former Man of Tomorrow.

"Okay." He said softly.

For world peace, to protect humanity, and to cherish life.

Superman is right.

Messiah raised his right hand, and all his abilities to modify reality were unlocked. He no longer restrained his abilities and aimed at Atlantis with all his strength.

Atlantis began to shake, and a crack appeared on the bottom of the island that sank to the seabed.

One, two, three times.

Superman lifted Atlantis high up and, with the help of Messiah, separated Atlantis from the bottom of the sea.

The buildings of Atlantis began to collapse, and the panicked Atlanteans and fish fled in all directions.

Superman lifts Atlantis just as he did when he lifted the crashed plane before the destruction of Metropolis.

The Messiah added a transparent dome to Atlantis, which served as both protection and restraint.

No Atlantean could escape.

Superman lifted Atlantis out of the water. The lost underwater kingdom was exposed outside the sea for the first time. The sunlight shone on the land of Atlantis, and the panicked Atlanteans screamed.

Aquaman turned back in surprise and cried out in horror: "No——"

Shazam murmured, "No..."

"Messiah, modify the space coordinates."

Under the gaze of the entire world, Superman shouted out his destination: "Destination - Sahara Desert!"

Messiah raised his right hand and lightly snapped his fingers. Warm and holy golden light exploded, but it only brought endless coldness to others.

【Author’s words】

Atlantis is released into the Sahara Desert, which is the original plot of the injustice. I combined it with the later Black Adam Kandak plot and adapted it a little bit.
