"Talokan, rise!" With this battle cry, Namor gave the command to attack, and the soldiers of Talokan charged into battle.
To be honest, even though Namor had trained his army for many years, they had lived on the ocean floor for centuries without facing any threats from enemies. As a result, their combat training mainly involved donning vibranium armor and launching frontal assaults.
The powerful Talokan soldiers wielding vibranium spears began their advance. The fastest among them used underwater grenade launchers, firing multi-faceted grenades at Noah. Talokan's hypnotists also joined the attack, trying to affect the enemy with their abilities.
After giving the order, Namor also rushed into the fray, knowing that if he didn't lead the attack himself, his warriors would suffer heavy losses.
Noah felt a light itch in his head. No, he wasn't scared. It was the effect of a mental attack from the hypnotists. However, their mental abilities were merely a minor annoyance to him. As an ancient demon, Noah had a vastly superior mind. He gathered his strength and launched a powerful mental counterattack. The Talokan hypnotists saw before them a terrifying demon with bared fangs lunging at them. They screamed and immediately lost consciousness.
Meanwhile, grenades were flying towards Noah. Numerous multi-faceted grenades pierced through the water, heading straight for him. As they neared, they exploded, releasing powerful jets of water, churning up the sand at the ocean floor. These grenades were Talokan's only high-tech weapon, as shown in the film, capable of even breaking through glass that Namor's vibranium spears couldn't penetrate.
After the explosion, the water released by the grenades mixed with the seawater, making visibility difficult. The Talokan soldiers looked at the center of the blast, trying to assess the damage. Even the attacking soldiers slowed their advance.
Suddenly, the center of the explosion began to change. The water released by the grenades started to contract. As the water condensed, the battlefield cleared, and everyone saw that Noah stood unharmed, unmoved. In his hand, a sphere of water floated, slowly absorbing the water from the grenades.
"Not a bad technology, but it's useless against me," Noah said, staring at the water sphere in his hand. This water wasn't ordinary; it was likely a product of Talokan's technology.
Seeing that their grenades had caused no harm, the Talokan soldiers quickened their pace. Although it seemed like the attack had lasted a long time, only a few seconds had passed.
Noah clenched his fist, and the water sphere burst into countless droplets. He infused each drop with his magic. Under the astonished gazes of all present, the droplets began to change. They grew and deformed, transforming into small fish-like humanoids wielding tridents.
The Talokan soldiers froze, witnessing this transformation. Noah was creating creatures reminiscent of the League of Legends champion Fizz, the Tidal Trickster.
Once the fish-like humanoids fully formed, they began attacking the Talokan soldiers. The faces of the Talokanians twisted in horror: not only had their grenades failed to harm the enemy, but they had also created new attackers. However, quickly recovering from the shock, they began defending against the small fish-men.
But after the first clash, they realized something was wrong. Their sharp vibranium spears passed through the bodies of the enemies as if they were made of air. These small fish-men, created from water, were immune to physical attacks. Moreover, their tridents, unlike the spears, dealt real damage. One Talokan soldier, thinking the tridents were also made of water and wouldn't harm him, cried out in pain as the trident pierced his hand, realizing how wrong he had been.
The enemies were invulnerable to attacks, while their strikes were deadly. The Talokan soldiers, understanding the helplessness of their situation, were forced to defend themselves using their shields. At the forefront, Namor became the primary target of the fish-men's assault; five of them attacked him simultaneously.
He found himself in a difficult position. He dodged the tridents' blows, but his own attacks were useless—the spear passed through the bodies of the creatures, which immediately reformed. Namor realized he was losing precious time. He retreated and shouted to the soldiers guarding the underwater grenades: "Use the grenades! Blow these creatures up!"
The Talokan soldiers heard the command and began retrieving grenades from the netted bags fastened beneath the orcas. Armed with grenades, they advanced to the battlefield, urging the orcas to follow.
"Watch out!" one of them yelled to a comrade who was defending against a fish-man. Hearing the shout, he turned and saw his comrade ready to throw a grenade. Understanding the intent, he withdrew, allowing the soldier to toss the grenade directly into the fish-man's body. The explosion tore the watery creature apart. This time, the creature didn't regenerate.
In other parts of the battle, Talokan soldiers also successfully used grenades, and the tide of the battle began to turn. Namor watched with satisfaction.
"Not bad, well done," Noah said, standing still near the vibranium vein. He placed his hands on his stomach, watching the battle with interest. Although he would have liked to cross his arms over his chest, his large belly and short arms didn't allow it.
Once all the fish-men were destroyed by the explosions, Noah didn't rush. He extended his arms once again, releasing a powerful stream of magic. The Talokan soldiers, still using water grenades, noticed that the water scattered by the explosions was once again gathering and forming even larger fish-men.
They threw more grenades, but it didn't help. The explosions only made the creatures grow larger, and now they had become even more fearsome.
Watching the battle, where Namor and the Talokan soldiers were clearly at a disadvantage, Noah decided it was time to end it. He opened his massive jaws, resembling an abyss, and began sucking in water along with the fish-men. The seawater, along with everything in its path, was being drawn into this enormous maw, as if it had no bottom.
Soldiers and Namor, witnessing this, ceased fighting and began resisting the powerful pull. They swam with all their might in the opposite direction, but many were already on the verge of exhaustion. The orcas, serving as transport for the Talokan soldiers, were also frightened and swam away, carrying with them the grenades attached to their bodies.
