Chapter 76.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty! I must say that the chefs here are exceptional. I don't suppose he would be interested in becoming my personal cook? Whatever salary he requests, I can satisfy!"
Tony wiped his mouth elegantly. Facing the old king's inquiry, he casually mentioned these trivial matters without hesitation, not directly addressing the topic!
"I thank you for your compliment regarding our chef, but I think he may not agree to your request, so I'm afraid I must disappoint you–, Mr. Stark."–
Facing Tony's deflection, the old king's smile remained unchanged as he maintained his gracious attitude, but he directly declined Tony's proposal!
"That's a shame, but I think the chef should decide for himself..."
"Cough, Tony, tell the truth!"
Seeing that Tony continued to discuss these irrelevant matters, Felix couldn't stand it anymore. He coughed and reminded Tony!
"Okay, let's put the chef matter aside for now. Let's talk about the Justice League that Your Majesty asked about!"
Seeing Felix interrupt him, Tony finally stopped his rambling and prepared to answer the old king's question about the Justice League!
"Since you have asked so sincerely, then I will tell you with all the compassion in my heart! To prevent the world from being destroyed, to protect world peace, to implement love and truth... what comes next? Sorry, I can't remember the rest."
"But as I just said, the Justice League is an organization that we created after the Dormammu invasion. We recruit talented individuals with special abilities to join the alliance!"
"The Justice League exists to protect world peace! All four of us are now members of the Justice League. So you should understand our purpose!"
Tony actually copied the explanation somewhat that Felix had given to Banner yesterday, and he still forgot what he said in the middle. This made Felix feel completely speechless!
"Tony, doesn't your conscience hurt when you plagiarize others' wisdom like this?"
"I understand the situation now! But since Mr. Felix, who is the Sorceror Supreme, has already joined the Justice League, does this mean that Kamar-Taj is also represented?"
Although Tony's explanation left the old king somewhat puzzled, he still understood the Justice League's situation and purpose! He felt that Tony and the others had no need to deceive him!
So what they said was quite credible. But when looking at Felix, the old king couldn't help but ask!
"That's not the case. I only joined the alliance on my own behalf, and it has nothing to do with the other masters of Kamar-Taj!"
Faced with the old king's inquiry, Felix answered honestly.
After hearing Felix's answer, the old king nodded, expressing his understanding. Then the old king fell into contemplation!
T'Challa, sitting beside the old king, also showed some interest in the Justice League that Tony had described. But it was merely interest.
His primary goal at –this time was to protect his country, 'Wakanda! To guard it from being invaded by outside nations! To protect his country's vibranium resources from being stolen by outsiders! As for the life and death of the outside world, it had nothing to do with him!'
In his mind, the Black Panther only fought for Wakanda!
"In that case, I have a request. I wonder if our distinguished guests would agree?"
The old king pondered for almost a minute before finally speaking slowly to Felix and the others!
"Oh? Your Majesty is too polite. You have helped us so much today, and of course we won't be ungrateful. If you have any requirements, please speak freely. We will do our best!"
Felix knew that the old king would definitely have conditions to propose, so he was prepared, though he didn't know what those conditions might be!
Tony looked at the old king with interest, waiting for him to state his request!
"I want my son T'Challa to join your Justice League! As the guardian representing Wakanda and the Black Panther!"
The old king's words were shocking and instantly surprised everyone present! Even Felix was no exception!
Because although he had expected that the old king would make some requests, he never anticipated that he would make such a request!
In Felix's mind, Wakanda had always remained isolated from the world, secretly developing its own technology without wanting any relationship with the outside world. The old king had even rejected the UN's funding for Wakanda!
This Wakanda, which had excluded the outside world, only changed after T'Challa became king. However, just when they were about to establish contact with the outside world and prepare to share Wakanda's technology and knowledge with humanity, the snap happened!
But what surprised Felix was this, 'Why did the old king make such a request at this time? It seemed to contradict both the old king's character and Wakanda's principle of not participating in outside affairs!'
"Father! Why did you make such a request? I will not join their Justice League. I will only fight for Wakanda!"
Of course, the old king's words not only shocked Felix, but T'Challa beside him protested directly, sternly refusing to join the Justice League!
But T'Challa's decision was understandable. After all, T'Challa hadn't experienced so many things at this time.
He had never experienced the death of his father, nor had he become King of Wakanda, nor had he experienced being dethroned by his cousin!
Therefore, he couldn't accept the request just made by the old king. If it was fighting for Wakanda, T'Challa was duty-bound. But if they wanted him to join a Justice League to protect world peace, T'Challa thought it was unnecessary.
"Withdraw your unreasonable words, T'Challa!"
The old king heard T'Challa's refusal and spoke to him very seriously!
"Hey, this guy, you seem to be mistaken. Even if you want to join our Justice League, it's not that easy. Our alliance isn't something you can join just because you want to! Only people with special abilities and a sense of justice can join!"
"And you? I don't see anything extraordinary about you, and I don't see the slightest sense of justice! So I refuse your joining!"
Tony was irritated by T'Challa's words and couldn't help but speak out against him.
Of course, Tony had just heard what T'Challa said and was a little angry! It seemed as if the Justice League created by himself, Felix, and the others could be easily joined by anyone!
"Sorry, I apologize for what I just said. I didn't mean to despise your alliance. But I still have to stick to my decision. I have no interest in joining your alliance!"
T'Challa knew that what he had just said might have caused Tony to misunderstand, so he apologized directly to Tony. But he still insisted on his decision not to join the Justice League!
"T'Challa, do you think this is my personal decision? I am merely following the guidance of the Black Panther Goddess! Do you not obey the oracle of the Black Panther Goddess?"
The old king spoke again, but when this sentence was spoken, T'Challa's expression changed suddenly. Hearing the old king's words, Felix and the others couldn't help but be curious. What did the old king mean?
"Father, what do you mean you followed the instructions of the Black Panther Goddess? Did the Black Panther God appear again and guide you? But why did it happen at this time? And why would it tell me to join an outside organization?"
T'Challa was extremely shocked at this moment, because the Black Panther Goddess had rarely appeared since the unification of Wakanda.
Every time she appeared, Wakanda was in crisis, and the Black Panther Goddess would lend a helping hand, guide the contemporary Black Panther, and lead the Wakandan people out of suffering!
However, since the last time the Panther Goddess delivered an oracle, she hadn't appeared again for hundreds of years, and they hadn't faced any major troubles. Until now, Wakanda had been developing rapidly and remained very harmonious.
However, when their Wakanda was developing rapidly and the country was extremely stable, why did the Black Panther Goddess reappear so suddenly and deliver such strange guidance? That's why T'Challa was puzzled!
"Is the intention of the Black Panther Goddess so easy for us mere mortals to speculate about! But every time the Black Panther Goddess delivers an oracle, it is always at the most critical moment for our Wakanda, and every time it inevitably guides us out of misery."
"So, this time you and I must follow the guidance of the Black Panther Goddess. Joining the Justice League is your only choice! This is not just for yourself, but also for the fate of all Wakanda!"
When the old king mentioned the Black Panther Goddess, his expression became very solemn. It seemed that he was indeed a devout believer of the Black Panther Goddess, and regarded the guidance of the so-called Black Panther as an oracle that must be obeyed!
Felix listened to this. Although he believed that the Black Panther Goddess might be real—after all, this was the Marvel world, and anything could happen—why did she deliver guidance to have T'Challa join the Justice League they had created in less than a day? This made Felix somewhat puzzled!
However, although –this Black Panther Goddess was mysterious, Felix wouldn't be afraid. After all, when Thanos's army attacked Wakanda, he hadn't seen this so-called Black Panther Goddess appear.
Maybe she couldn't appear before humans for some reason! It was just that he didn't know what her purpose was for all this.
"Alright, since Your Majesty has said so, and Wakanda has indeed given us tremendous help. And T'Challa also possesses physical qualities far beyond ordinary people, with relatively strong combat effectiveness. So we can agree to T'Challa joining our Justice League!"
Felix didn't overthink the Black Panther Goddess's purpose. No matter what her intentions were, Felix wouldn't be afraid. So he directly agreed to the old king's request!
"Felix, you.…? You're making me lose face here. I just said that not anyone can join our alliance! You're like this—aren't you undermining me! Even if you agree to let him join, you should at least test him!"
Tony heard Felix's betrayal and felt completely speechless. He couldn't help but complain to Felix!
"Okay Tony, T'Challa joining our alliance will bring many benefits! For example..."
Felix leaned over to Tony and whispered a few words, but Tony's face instantly brightened, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth!
"Cough! It's Felix's idea. Well, I agree to Prince T'Challa joining our Justice League."
After Felix's "enlightenment," Tony instantly changed his mind and agreed to T'Challa joining the alliance. Of course, Tony didn't have much resistance to begin with.
After all, their Justice League wasn't large at this time and was short on personnel. How could they protect the world with just these few people? The more people, the better, for now!
"Haha, thank you very much! Well, then it's settled! T'Challa, meet your partners who will fight alongside you in the future!"
The old king heard them agree to his request, and his expression became extremely happy, his white teeth showing again. He turned to T'Challa, who was still silent beside him!
"But... alright! I agree to join the Justice League, and I ask you to guide me in the future!"
In the end, T'Challa finally compromised. It seemed that the Black Panther Goddess held very high prestige in Wakanda! T'Challa was also unable to refute the guidance of the Black Panther Goddess!
"Haha, that's easy to say. Since we'll all be partners in the alliance in the future, are you going to sell me some more vibranium materials? Ten kilograms isn't nearly enough—I can't even make a complete set of steel armor with that!"
Tony saw T'Challa agree to join the alliance and couldn't help walking over to him, whispering! He desperately needed to buy more vibranium materials!
Ding!
While everyone was reaching consensus and feeling happy, the device on the old king's wrist suddenly chimed! Just like a message alert tone!
"What is it?"
The old king raised his arm and saw that the virtual projection device on his arm lit up, projecting a black man in a white coat! The old king asked the projected person!
"Your Majesty, regarding the suit of armor you ordered us to make, I think it's necessary for that person to come over and try it on himself."
The projected person was none other than the black researcher who had ignored Felix and the others in the laboratory! He spoke respectfully to the old king!
"Alright, we'll head over right away!"
The old king answered calmly, then turned off the projection device, and the researcher's figure slowly dissipated in the air!
"Everyone, you must have heard. How about we go and take a look now?"
The old king turned back to Felix and the others and said.
"Of course! I can't wait to try on the newly created vibranium suit!"
Felix, of course, wouldn't refuse the old king's proposal, and he really looked forward to seeing what he would look like after wearing the armor.
As the aircraft flew swiftly through the air, everyone arrived at Wakanda's technology laboratory again in just a few minutes!
Felix also saw the black researcher who had treated him as if he didn't exist—he was waiting for the arrival of the old king and himself!
"Your Majesty, this is the suit that has been completed. Please take a look!"
However, the researcher ignored Felix and the others again, instead pointing to something resembling a store mannequin and introducing it to the old king. The clothes worn by the mannequin were the second set of battle armor designs drawn by Felix!
"Is this the completed armor?"
Felix didn't care about the researcher's attitude, but looked in the direction the researcher was pointing. In Felix's eyes, the mannequin's body was almost exactly the same as his own, and appeared to be made according to his detailed measurements.
Of course, Felix didn't pay too much attention to the mannequin, but focused his eyes on the armor it wore.
The entire battle armor was silver with golden lines painted on it, but it didn't look gaudy—rather, it was very harmonious!
Western superheroes almost always wore tight spandex suits, which made people look good and highlighted their figures and strong muscle lines!
Meanwhile, Chinese-style armor made people look very noble, domineering, mysterious, and so on! At this time, the armor before everyone could bring this feeling to everyone present!
It firmly captured the attention of everyone in the venue! For a moment, the scene fell into silence, and people didn't recover for a long time!
"Although I don't know if you designed this set of armor, it is truly beautiful! I can say without hesitation that this is the coolest armor I've made in so many years!"
Even that researcher, for once, spoke to Felix first!
"Alright, Mr. Felix, I think you should put it on now to see how well this set of armor performs!"
The old king smiled and reminded Felix!
"Indeed, I should!"
Felix also answered with anticipation!
"Come, Mr. Felix, I'll take you to the changing room!"
T'Challa said, offering to take Felix to the changing room!
"Holy crap, what just rushed past my eyes!"
T'Challa was shocked, because with his enhanced perception beyond ordinary people, he could only make out a vague shadow flying quickly before his eyes!
Swoosh!
It seemed like a hurricane had passed by, and the wind made everyone instinctively close their eyes. This made everyone wonder—obviously they were in the laboratory, so where had such a strong wind come from?
"No need for trouble! I've already changed!"
However, the wind came quickly and disappeared just as fast. Everyone heard Felix's voice and couldn't help but open their eyes, only to be shocked to find that in just the blink of an eye, Felix had already put on the vibranium suit!
Felix was wearing the silver armor, and his aura had changed dramatically!(Aura +9999)
He looked like an immortal come to life—noble and handsome weren't sufficient to describe Felix's appearance at this moment!
"Haha, it feels great to wear! But can you come outside with me to test how this suit performs?"
Wearing this suit made of vibranium, Felix couldn't wait to experience the thrill of flying at high speed!
