"What!"
Hearing the female guard's words, everyone present was startled.
The female guard pressed a button on the instrument in her hand, and a holographic projection immediately appeared above the conference room. The projection showed Adam standing outside the Sky Barrier with his hands behind his back.
"It really is him!"
Killmonger looked at Adam in the projection, his eyes narrowing slightly, then he suddenly stood up and said loudly:
"Aren't you worried about the League of Heroes and Adam?
Now is our chance. He actually came to Wakanda alone, so we will set a trap in Wakanda and kill him here in one fell swoop.
As long as Adam dies, then we won't need to deal with the League of Heroes, and those greedy colonizers outside won't let them off either.
Let them fight among themselves, and after they are both severely injured, we will unite with our 1.4 billion Black compatriots and eliminate all of them in one go."
"No, Adam is powerful. If we fight him here, even if we can kill him, our Wakanda will suffer heavy losses, and many innocent civilians will be implicated."
However, Killmonger's proposal was immediately rejected by the oldest Elder.
The other Elders also hesitated upon hearing this.
Wakanda has been peaceful for centuries, and its people have always lived prosperous and peaceful lives. Even incurable cancers from outside can be cured with Wakanda's advanced medical technology.
To put the people of Wakanda in danger just to kill one person was something they found difficult to accept.
"There's no war without casualties. To rule the entire World in the future, for all our compatriots outside, sacrificing these few people is worth it. I believe even if they knew, they wouldn't blame you."
Killmonger slammed his hands on the table, agitated.
But the oldest Elder still shook his head:
"No, I don't agree to do this."
Seeing that the Great Elder disagreed, the Elders of the other tribes also shook their heads.
In the end, less than one-third of the Elders agreed with Killmonger's approach.
Therefore, according to the rules of the Elder Council, this proposal was still not passed.
Seeing the situation, Killmonger sneered and sat back on the throne:
"I've tolerated you long enough. Since you are always so cowardly and foolish, then let your brave children take your places!"
He clapped his hands, and a team of bald guards, armed with Vibranium spears, quickly rushed into the conference room.
Before the Elders could react, the guards moved swiftly, stabbing the Elders who opposed Killmonger through the heart on the spot.
Killmonger announced with a smile:
"Adam of the League of Heroes killed King T'Chaka a year ago and has now infiltrated Wakanda, assassinating twelve of our tribal Elders, intending to seize our Vibranium. Therefore, we must do our best to kill him here, understand?"
"Understood!"
The remaining six tribal Elders immediately nodded frantically.
Although he had not convinced the Elder Council to agree to his plan this past year, it didn't mean he had done nothing.
He had removed Okoye, the leader of the Royal Guard, and taken control of Wakanda's most powerful Royal Guard.
He had also secretly contacted many children of the tribal Elders and convinced the tribal Elder who truly held Wakanda's military power.
Now was the perfect opportunity to kill two birds with one stone: he would have a reason to kill Adam and could truly seize political power over all of Wakanda to launch his plan.
"He arrived quite quickly!"
After waiting for about five minutes, a spaceship, like something out of a sci-fi movie, flew out of the Sky Barrier and landed in front of Adam.
The hatch opened, and a dozen female attendants from the Wakandan Royal Guard, armed with Vibranium spears, emerged.
The leader, with a beaming smile, approached Adam:
"Welcome, Mr. Adam, to Wakanda. I am Bibira, Captain of the Wakandan Royal Guard.
His Majesty the King is very pleased with your visit and has specifically ordered me to escort you to the palace for a meeting. Please come with me aboard the spaceship."
"Bibira?"
Adam was taken aback. He remembered the Captain of the Wakandan Royal Guard should be named Okoye.
"Legilimency Spell."
Something unusual was definitely afoot, and he also remembered that this was not the main Marvel Universe, but Universe 838. Wakanda here might not be the same as in the main Universe.
So, to be safe, he felt it necessary to use the Legilimency Spell on this Captain of the Royal Guard, whom he didn't know, to understand the situation.
"I didn't expect it to be a trap. No wonder her smile was so fake."
In just a few seconds, he found the information he wanted from Bibira's thoughts.
It turned out that Wakanda had been ruled by Killmonger a year ago. The coup in Wakanda had happened nearly ten years earlier than in the main Universe, and the new Black Panther, T'Challa, had not been revived, but was directly killed by Killmonger.
"No wonder Black Panther wasn't seen when Thanos attacked."
At this moment, Adam suddenly recalled that in the movie's Universe 838, during the decisive battle against Thanos on Titan, Black Panther was indeed absent from the Illuminati members.
If he hadn't appeared, Killmonger would have likely launched a World War a year ago, and then he would have been thoroughly defeated by Superheroes like Professor X from all over the World.
Hoping to give Vibranium to the Black people outside and have them fight against the entire World with Wakanda?
That would truly be too naive.
Once those Black people outside got Vibranium weapons, their first instinct would probably be various acts of smashing, looting, and robbing. It wouldn't be long before chaos ensued.
It would be impossible for them to obey Wakanda's command.
Hoping to win a war with a disorganized mob is simply absurd.
So, looking at it this way, it seemed reasonable.
"Alright, then I'll trouble Captain Bibira."
Adam smiled, not exposing Bibira's lie, but naturally followed her into the spaceship.
For him, the coup in Wakanda was not really a bad thing; on the contrary, it was a good thing.
Originally, he had to consider what conditions to use to persuade T'Chaka. Now, it was better; he could bypass complicated steps and use the last, most direct, and simplest method to solve the problem.
Moreover, after dealing with Killmonger, he could legitimately take over Wakanda.
Since Wakanda had a record of planning to launch a World War, it was perfectly normal for him, as the strongest Superhero protecting the World, to exercise a certain degree of supervision in the absence of a Wakandan King.
Wakanda's Vibranium was no longer important to him; he could convert it with his own magic. But Wakanda's World-leading technology was still somewhat useful.
"Take off!"
Under the control of the Royal Guard members, the spaceship took off again, quickly soaring into the Sky Barrier.
Through the spaceship's glass, a city full of technological flair soon appeared before Adam's eyes.
Compared to this city, New York was like a rural town compared to an international metropolis, simply not on the same level.
