The knight in the big world of American TV series

The Dark Trident, an absolutely powerful artifact. But every Atlantean who knew about it tried desperately to eliminate it from their minds, so to this day, the Atlanteans don't even know that it really existed in their history. Pass this artifact.

Death is a topic that all humans cannot escape. Human beings have an innate fear of death. Once humans develop self-awareness and become aware of the people around them and the people in their own living groups, this fear of death will appear, because humans are social animals. The emergence of consciousness must be traced back to the early days of species evolution. Danton described consciousness as "primitive emotion." It is this emotion that awakens a series of feelings in animals: when this emotion prompts animals to develop complex behaviors, the resulting feelings of hunger, thirst, and the search for sexual partners are various states of consciousness.

Since the emergence of humans, the size of their brains has gradually increased during evolution, from 400 to 500 cubic centimeters in Australopithecus apes to 1400 cubic centimeters in Homo sapiens. Human beings have since understood that others are just like themselves, and that everyone will disappear one day. This awareness immediately triggered fear and anxiety about death in humans, because in the face of this sudden and incomprehensible phenomenon, humans were completely speechless... So people began to look for another person in another world. In other words, they instinctively refuse to accept death.

For the purpose of self-protection, human consciousness has created various myths, imagining that human life will continue in the afterlife. In order to allow the deceased to continue living in another world, human society has long developed burial rituals. This is especially visible in prehistoric remains in the Middle East and can be traced back to 5 years ago. The deceased is buried in the cemetery, surrounded by the necessities for his life in the other world. There are also numerous such tombs found throughout the European continent (3 BC - BC). These burial rituals developed together with language and writing when early human civilization emerged. Homo sapiens are the only animals capable of using articulate speech rather than communicating through roars and grunts, allowing them to pass on learned abilities, thoughts, and emotions from generation to generation.

The earliest account of death in human history is the legend of Gilgamesh, a king on the plains of Mesopotamia. He once thought he was immortal, but after seeing his brother disappear, he realized that he too would die one day. Fearing death, he sets out to find something that will give him eternal life. After a long journey, he finally accepted the reality that he would die. The point emphasized by this legend is that humans cannot understand death through personal experience, but only after witnessing the death of others. Then humans will anxiously find that one day they will completely disappear, so he imagines A part of yourself—such as your soul or soul—can survive the death of your physical body.

The ancient Egyptian civilization intensified the human mentality of worshiping the dead, and the worship of dead pharaohs, queens, and dignitaries reached a peak. Every Egyptian has a cemetery after death, because it is necessary to ensure that they can continue to survive in the afterlife. This is the original intention of the mummification process to preserve the corpse well. The long corridor leading to the tomb is decorated with murals telling the life and good deeds of the deceased. The tomb is filled with various offerings for the deceased to use after death.

Most ancient Greeks and Romans believed in polytheism: the world below the ground was Hell, and a terrible river - the Styx - separated Hell from the world of the living. Heaven is the kingdom of the gods. The three monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam also follow these legends and claim that the body can be regenerated and the soul is immortal. People who do good deeds throughout their lives can go to heaven after death, while those who do evil must go to heaven after death. Accept the punishment and fall into hell.

The theories of Eastern people are completely different. Compared with monotheism, I feel that I agree more with Eastern theory. The latter believes that there is no single God, but only the ethics of harmonious life and the wisdom maxims taught by two great wise men, Confucius and Sakyamuni. These two wise men basically lived in the same period, that is, the fifth to sixth centuries BC. In Eastern religions, the body dies and the soul is forever reborn through other bodies. This is the so-called "reincarnation."

In short, no matter how you tame, misinterpret, or even avoid it, there is one fact that cannot be concealed.

That's fear!

Atlantis is certainly no exception.

They will die too.

But their souls do not belong to the Styx, but to the ocean.

This is the deal Poseidon and Hades made.

The people of Atlantis belonged to the ocean.

They got life from the ocean, and rightly so, their death also belongs to the ocean.

So in the Atlantean culture, they didn't have a burial culture.

After they die, their souls will return to the ocean, and their bodies will be thrown into the abyss to become nourishment for the ocean. Then the ocean will nourish Atlantis and the thousands of creatures living in the ocean together.

This has always been the case.

But the Dark Trident breaks this cycle.

The earliest holder of the Dark Trident was Triton. In mythology, he was the messenger of Poseidon and the son of Poseidon, King of the Sea, and Amphitrite, Queen of the Sea. In Atlantean culture, he is always depicted as a mermaid, with a human-shaped upper body but a fish tail. Like his father, he also carried a trident, but his unique appendage was a conch shell, which he used as a horn to raise or calm the waves and currents. After Zeus died, he calmed down with Poseidon. flood. When he blew the conch hard, it was like the roar of a ferocious beast, which even moved the giants with divine power.

In the myth of Atlantis, Triton also plays a very important role, and he has always been placed in an important position in the temple. Right next to Poseidon, just below Amphitrite, Queen of the Sea.

But whether it is official records or myths and legends, descriptions of his trident are very, very rare, as if they were just like ordinary Atlantean warriors.

The trident is a very important symbol in Atlantean culture.

Any qualified family will prepare a trident for their child after he/she is born.

They may not necessarily use it, but they must have it.

From here we can see how important this thing is, but for such an important god, his trident has never been described.

Only the royal family and a very small number of nobles know the horror of this weapon.

According to legend, this trident is not a masterpiece of Vulcan, but a rarely mentioned one forged by Hades.

Hades is perhaps the most understated of all the Olympian gods, and also the least popular. Because he is always associated with death. There are only two of his most famous stories, one is about seizing the seed goddess Persephone (also known as the Queen of the Underworld), and the other is "Orpheus and Eurydice", the one who looks back in the process of returning from the underworld to the human world. The unlucky guy...

This trident was made by Hades.

The reason is the agreement between Hades and Poseidon.

The underworld does not accept Atlanteans.

So this trident is the so-called Trident of Death.

Its function is also very simple, Hades's specialty. Control dead souls.

But only in the ocean.

Of course, myths are myths, and this thing is not something that the Atlanteans would be afraid of.

What truly frightened Atlantis was the last owner of the trident.

The huge fame of this black trident comes from the ancestor-level "king" of Atlantis, "King of Death" Atlan! Atlantis was the king of Atlantis centuries before the sinking of Atlantis and was the greatest king in the history of Atlantis.

Under Atlantis' leadership, Atlantis grew in power and developed into seven different kingdoms. Atlan had a wife and a pair of children. As Atlantis developed, Atlantis allowed foreigners into the country, and Atlanteans and non-Atlanteans began to intermarry. Atlan had a younger brother named Orin. He was an extreme nationalist and believed that it was a shame for Atlanteans to marry other races. In the end, he killed Atlan's cronies and assassinated Atlanta. Atlan escaped wounded, but his wife and children were killed by Orin. Orin and his wife usurped the throne of Atlan.

What follows is a very cliche plot.

Atlan pursued the legendary artifact and finally found the Dark Trident, known as the Scepter of Death.

Atlan returned to Atlantis with the artifact and killed Orin and his wife...but in the process, his revenge brought a little side effect, that is, countless dead were manipulated to be resurrected , bringing huge casualties to the entire Atlantis!

I don't know if it was the effect of the Dark Trident or Atlan's severe stimulation that made him completely crazy. He didn't care at all and only wanted revenge.

This turned this tragic king into the biggest devil.

Then he was killed by a prince with the people of Atlantis... What's funny is that this prince was Orin's son.

Now the usurper has become a positive figure...it can only be said that fate is a trick.

And now the bloodline of the Kingdom of Atlantis and other kings comes from this prince.

Although such a nonsensical thing happened, the people still felt sorry for the king. After all, he was a qualified king at the time. Of course, his brother was not too bad, at least he was not bad to the people of Atlantis. It's just a little cruel to Atlan.

So everyone thinks that the reason why Atlan is like this is actually because of the Dark Trident, which is an evil artifact.

In order to prevent anyone from using this evil artifact again...the Dark Trident expressed regret that it was just a weapon...all the survivors unanimously decided to hide it and never tell about its power, even Don't mention Atlan or what happened to him. (The prince probably said this in order to clear the ground for his father. After all, his father has the greatest responsibility)

As a result, there are very few people who know the Dark Trident.

And Orm happens to know, and still knows, where it is.

……

"You can control the dead..." The archangel looked excited as he listened.

After all, how could such a person never play Warcraft or Resident Evil?

When I think about it, I feel a little excited.

Their brotherhood lacks this kind of thing. They have few people, which is a fatal drawback. But if you have this thing, wouldn't you be invincible? The dead do not need supplies, wages, or logistics. Anyway, losses can be replenished at any time. Is there any better cannon fodder than this?

What's more, the people they killed were also excellent soldiers.

Those who have just died can be dragged into the battlefield while they are still warm!

awesome!

But seeing Nick Fury's half-smiling expression, the archangel immediately woke up.

Yes, since this thing is so powerful, once the Brotherhood gets it... I guess no country in the world will be able to sit still. By then, it is estimated that those major powers will clear out their nuclear bomb inventories, causing the Egyptian people to suffer and be infamy. The brothers will take care of it.

Everyone has a bright future.

what?

Why do brothers come to bear the infamy? Damn it! Don't you watch the news?

There are also those who blow up their own hospitals!

Fuss.

When it comes to news, you have the pen in your hand, so you can’t just write whatever you want.

The people of Egypt have become a barbeque, who can argue with that?

Immediately the archangel woke up from his dream.

Nick Fury is so right!

What kind of brother would go looking for that thing, just looking for death!

"What's more, if it was really that easy to get, we would have taken action long ago. Why would we come to you for cooperation?"

Nick Fury said disdainfully.

"What? That place is dangerous?"

the archangel asked solemnly.

"Of course!" Nick Fury said matter-of-factly: "Do you think the Atlanteans wouldn't hide this terrible weapon? In fact, even Orm doesn't know how to hide this terrible weapon. Wherever the weapon is, what mechanisms are there? Anyway, there are not sad and crazy guys in history who have searched for the Dark Trident, but according to Orm, those people never showed up again in the end. And some of them brought I followed an army to look for him, but he disappeared in the end. Think about how dangerous it is."

The fraternity can indeed find it.

But if there are too few people, it will be useless. If there are too many people, it will leak.

It will be over by then.

In comparison, the bullies are much more relaxed. These people are very respectable in many countries. They can handle it!
