[Marvel: I Started by Containing SCPs] Chapter 224 (Patreon)

As the Snow Mountain King prepared to unleash its hypnosis, the long-haired man boldly reached out and grabbed the creature's goggles.

"You think I don't know your tricks? I've been watching you. You use visual contact to hypnotize your victims, am I wrong?" the man said coldly.

He then glanced at the victim who had been following the Snow Mountain King—a young man with a dazed expression, completely unaware of his surroundings.

"Who are you?!" the Snow Mountain King growled, grabbing the man's arm in an attempt to free itself. However, it quickly realized that the man's arm was unnaturally strong, far beyond any human it had encountered.

"My name is Arthur, but the people around here prefer to call me Aquaman," the man replied with a steely gaze.

Without another word, Arthur let out a roar and swung the Snow Mountain King with all his might, hurling it far into the distance.

Despite the Snow Mountain King's large frame, Arthur tossed it as if it were a mere toy.

Rather than pursue the creature, Arthur turned his attention to the hypnotized victim.

"Hey, kid, are you alright?" Arthur asked, kneeling down to inspect the young man.

The victim, who appeared to be around eighteen years old, looked dazed and confused, his mind seemingly blank.

"Wake up!" Arthur exclaimed, slapping the young man's face in an attempt to rouse him.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

After a few firm slaps, the young man finally snapped out of it, clutching his stinging face as he looked around in bewilderment.

"Arthur? Why are you here? And why am I here?" the young man asked, clearly recognizing Arthur.

"You were hypnotized by that strange guy. What did he do to you?" Arthur pressed.

"I don't know. He just walked up to me, and then I felt... warm. I wanted to follow him," the young man replied, still puzzled.

"Yes, follow me, and you'll find warmth," came a cold, eerie voice from behind.

Arthur quickly turned to see the Snow Mountain King standing there once again.

"Ah!" the young man yelped, instinctively retreating behind Arthur.

Arthur shielded the young man and fixed his gaze on the Snow Mountain King. "Who are you?" he demanded.

"I am the Snow Mountain King. In the mountains, this is my domain. No one defies me here," the creature said with icy disdain.

"Snow Mountain King, huh? How quaint," Arthur sneered. "I'm no ordinary king. I'm the king of the seas—Aquaman! A title far greater than yours."

Arthur gestured dramatically, emphasizing his superiority.

"Whoosh!"

In the blink of an eye, the Snow Mountain King moved with supernatural speed, appearing right in front of Arthur. Before Arthur could react, the creature delivered a devastating punch, twisting Arthur's head 180 degrees and sending him reeling with a spray of saliva.

Arthur steadied himself, shocked by the Snow Mountain King's strength. His body was nearly invincible, and yet this creature had managed to harm him.

Recovering quickly, Arthur retaliated with a powerful punch, sending the Snow Mountain King flying several meters.

"Run!" Arthur shouted at the young man, who finally snapped out of his stupor and bolted down the mountain.

"Alright, Snow Mountain King, it's time for the King of the Seas to teach you a lesson!" Arthur bellowed, turning to face his foe.

But as soon as he did, the Snow Mountain King launched a kick that sent Arthur hurtling through the air.

"You've ruined my hunt today! You will pay for this!" the Snow Mountain King snarled, its voice dripping with fury.

"Argh!" Arthur roared, emerging from the snow with a glare. He grabbed a massive boulder nearby and hurled it at the Snow Mountain King.

Unfazed, the Snow Mountain King shattered the boulder with a single punch. But by then, Arthur was already upon it, throwing a flurry of powerful punches.

The battle between Arthur and the Snow Mountain King played out on screens across various worlds, captivating viewers.

Nobita: "That guy is amazing! He's actually fighting that monster head-on."

Gian: "Yeah, but isn't he cold? He's only wearing a tank top!"

Bruce Wayne: "This man is no ordinary human. His strength is far beyond anything a normal person could possess. He must be a metahuman!"

Bruce couldn't help but draw a sharp breath. First, The Flash appeared, and now another superhuman had emerged. Why was everything happening today?

Diana: "Indeed, he's likely not human."

Bruce Wayne: "Diana, do you know who he is?"

Diana: "His pupils are different from ordinary humans. They resemble the characteristics of Atlanteans described in ancient texts."

Bruce Wayne: "Atlanteans? As in the myth of the sunken continent?"

Diana: "Yes. It's not a myth. Atlanteans had advanced technology far beyond humanity's comprehension. They retreated to the ocean depths to avoid conflict."

Diana: "They've stayed underwater for centuries, rarely setting foot on land. I never expected to see an Atlantean here today."

Bruce's worldview took another hit. Diana had mentioned the existence of human-like species in her world, but he had dismissed them as relics of the past. Now, seeing an Atlantean in action, he couldn't help but question the implications of their return.

Ace: "Atlanteans? Are they mermaids or fishmen?"

Tony Stark: "Is there a difference?"

Marco: "Of course there is. Mermaids have a human upper body and a fish tail, while fishmen are humanoid fish."

Diana: "They're closer to humans in appearance, with gills allowing them to breathe underwater."

Dan Moroboshi: "So your world has sea dwellers too, huh?"

Hearing the term "sea dwellers," Dan was reminded of the Noolmat, the Earth's true native inhabitants. The thought brought a flicker of sadness to his expression.

Unaware of the spectators, Arthur remained focused on his battle with the Snow Mountain King.
