Eric Killmonger's words made everyone present laugh. How can you, an outsider of unknown origin, covet the position of supreme king of Wakanda?
"Joke! What qualifications do you have to ask for the throne!"
"who do you think You Are?"
But what happened next slapped them hard in the face.
In front of everyone, Eric Killmonger directly revealed his true identity.
"I am Ni Jadaka!"
"Son of Prince Nejobu!"
"My father was scratched on the chest by a leopard's claw!"
"You are not a king! You are a murderer!"
Eric Killmonger stared at King T'Chaka, whose expression changed greatly on the throne, and said loudly!
"What?"
"He is the son of Prince Nejobu?"
All the elders were shocked when they heard this and couldn't help but stood up and exclaimed.
Prince Nijobu has been missing for decades. Unexpectedly, the visitor claimed to be his son. The most shocking thing is that he actually said that Prince Nijobu died in the capture of a black panther. If what he said was true, then
In other words, King T'Chaka killed his brother, Prince Nejobu!
"you are lying!"
The queen who was sitting next to T'Chaka stood up and reprimanded loudly.
"I'm afraid he's not lying, Queen."
The border tribe general Wakabi who brought Eric Killmonger said suddenly. When everyone looked at him, Wakabi took out a necklace, and there was a shape in the necklace.
Special ring.
Those present were all high-level officials of Wakanda, and they were naturally familiar with this ring. This is a prince ring that only male members of the Wakanda royal family are eligible to wear. It is made of vibranium and forged in a unique method of Wakanda.
It is impossible to forge, so the identity of Eric Killmonger can be determined.
"He is truly a descendant of Prince Nejobu!"
Seeing that his identity has been recognized by everyone, Eric Killmonger directly asked King T'Chaka why he killed his own brothers and abandoned them. Until now, after going through all kinds of hardships, he has finally succeeded.
Killed the criminals who attacked Wakanda and returned home.
"For thirty years, as the king and guardian of Wakanda, Black Panther, you have achieved nothing and are cowardly and incompetent!"
"You kill people, abandon your loved ones, and are so heartless and unvirtuous. What qualifications do you have to continue to occupy the position of king?"
"Today, I, Ni Jadaka, son of Prince Ni Job, exercise my right to challenge you for the throne of King and Black Panther!"
T'Chaka was exposed to the most secret past events that he didn't want to mention. The regret of killing his brother and the guilt of abandoning his family came to his mind again.
After decades of repression, this emotion burst out again, but it became extremely strong. T'Chaka became a little lost. Faced with Eric Killmonger's angry questioning, T'Chaka
Ka didn't even dare to look him in the eyes.
The lie that has been maintained for decades has finally been exposed.
After a long time, T'Chaka slowly raised his head, looked at Eric Killmonger and said in a low voice.
"you're right."
"I am indeed not qualified to continue to lead and protect Wakanda."
"I decided to give up the throne!"
T'Chaka's words shocked everyone.
"T'Chaka!"
"dad!"
When the queen, prince and princess heard his words, their expressions changed drastically. Before they could recover from the shock of learning that T'Chaka had killed his brother and left his nephew alone, they were caught off guard by T'Chaka's move to give up the throne.
All the elders and generals also looked at each other, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
Just when everyone was panicking about this sudden change, Wakabi, the general of the border tribe, suddenly spoke.
"Now that King T'Chaka has given up the throne, Prince Nejobu's son, Ni Jadaka, will be our new king!"
Wakabi's parents were killed by a bomb he detonated at the border when Ulysses Klaue sneaked into Wakanda, successfully stole vibranium and evacuated, so he had no feelings for Ulysses Klaue.
The hatred is stronger than anyone else.
It's just that for decades, T'Chaka, as a king and a black panther, has been chasing Ulysses Crow, but has never really caught him. He has long been disappointed with T'Chaka, and is disappointed with his
Dissatisfaction, like the hatred of Ulysses Crow, grew stronger.
The appearance of Eric Killmonger at this time undoubtedly brought him a huge surprise. The son of Prince Nejobu, who was abandoned by King T'Chaka, actually killed Ulysses Crow.
Avenged him.
He was extremely grateful to Eric Killmonger for getting his revenge. In addition, he was disappointed and dissatisfied with T'Chaka, as well as Eric Killmonger's identity as a royal bloodline, and his performance.
His strong strength and resolute acting style made him choose to support Eric Killmonger as the new king without hesitation.
As a warrior, he has long been tired of the complacent life under T'Chaka's rule. He is eager to fight, eager to bring Wakanda out of hiding and tell the world how powerful Wakanda is!
He could see that Eric Killmonger was a true warrior just like him.
He believes that Eric Killmonger is more suitable than Chaka to become the king of Wakanda. He will definitely be able to better protect Wakanda and lead Wakanda to become stronger.
General Wakabi's words made all the elders come back to their senses from shock and confusion. They looked at the lost T'Chaka, and then at Eric Killmonger, whose face was full of heroic spirit. Several elders said:
After taking a look, he couldn't help but nodded.
The eldest merchant tribe elder spoke.
"Since King T'Chaka has voluntarily given up the throne, the throne will be succeeded by the challenger, Ni Jadaka."
"From now on……"
"etc!"
The young prince standing next to T'Chaka couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that the situation had suddenly changed so shockingly. His father actually gave up the throne. He was shocked when he saw that the elders had begun to admit that this man who suddenly appeared had become the king.
T'Challa quickly stopped him.
"I am the prince of the Kingdom of Wakanda, and I have the right to inherit the throne!"
Several elders looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. The merchant tribe elder thought for a moment and spoke.
"Prince Ni Jadaka challenged King T'Chaka, but T'Chaka voluntarily gave up, which was equivalent to giving up the throne to Prince Ni Jadaka."
"So at this time, Ni Jadaka is our king."
T'Challa's complexion changed drastically when he heard this, and he was about to speak when he heard the elder continue.
"Prince T'Challa, if you want to fight for the throne, you can challenge him in the waterfall duel during the enthronement ceremony."
Before T'Challa had time to speak, Eric Killmonger, who had been unhandcuffed by the general at the side, took two steps forward, looked down at T'Challa and said in a deep voice.
"Very well, let us follow tradition and speak with strength. The person who wins the duel will become the king of Wakanda, the real Black Panther!"
The eyes of the two people collided in the air, as if countless fierce sparks burst out.
…
A week later, in the middle of the majestic and ancient waterfall, there was a knee-deep pool with its back against a cliff and an abyss in front. The enthronement ceremony of the King of Wakanda was being held here.
On the tall and steep cliff behind the pool, people from various tribes in Wakanda stood, all wearing the grandest tribal costumes.
For thousands of years, the enthronement ceremony of the king of Wakanda has been held here, and the content of the ceremony has never changed. The king will accept the challenge of the five major tribes and other royal members who want to compete for the throne in the pool. Victory
Only then can they truly ascend the throne. This is their unchanging tradition for thousands of years.
High Priest Zu Li walked up to T'Challa who was kneeling in the pool with a bowl of potion, and when he was about to give it to him, Eric Killmonger spoke.
"What's this?"
Faced with the "King's" inquiry, Zu Li gave an explanation.
According to tradition, the king of Wakanda is also the Black Panther who protects the kingdom. They took the heart-shaped herb, which strengthened their bodies and made them stronger than ordinary people.
In order to maintain the fairness of the duel, when accepting challenges from others, Black Panther needs to drink a potion that dispels the powerful abilities brought by the heart-shaped herb to ensure fairness in power between the two parties in the duel.
Eric Killmonger has not taken the heart-shaped herb, so he naturally does not need to be relieved.
But at this time, T'Challa had already taken the heart-shaped herb and became the new Black Panther.
As T'Chaka grew older over the years, he handed over the responsibility of the Black Panther to his only son and seemingly only heir to the kingdom, T'Challa.
It's just that T'Challa has been a Black Panther for several years, but he still hasn't caught Ulysses Klaue, which can be regarded as having no achievements. This is why the general was completely disappointed with the father and son and turned to Eric Kerr.
Mungo's reasons.
T'Challa took the heart-shaped herb and gained the power given by the Panther God, so for the sake of fairness, T'Challa should drink the potion that dispelled the power of the heart-shaped herb before the duel.
But Eric Killmonger shook his head and said proudly.
"No need!"
"Let him fight me with his strongest strength. I want you to know that I am the strongest patron saint of Wakanda and the real Black Panther!"
Seeing Eric Killmonger's tough attitude, Zu Li had to obey his order and handed the potion to the men behind him, even though it was against tradition.
This seems very unfair. It seems that T'Challa has taken a big advantage, but no one present except Chen Mo knows that Eric Killmonger has been strengthened by the enhanced super soldier serum and is as strong as ordinary people.
Five times that of a human being.
According to Chen Mo's speculation, judging from the battle between Captain America and Black Panther in the movie, the two are basically equal in strength. The effect of the heart-shaped herb should be similar to that of the original super soldier serum, which can improve a person's various qualities to ordinary levels.
About four times that of humans.
In other words, even if T'Challa took the heart-shaped herb, he would still be no match for Eric Killmonger.
