A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 261 No, you're serious!

Li Wei's statement that we have Wanda was just a joke.

It's not that we really want Wanda to kill Black Bolt like in Strange 2.

Although Attilan's existence slightly hindered the alliance's plans and caused some conflict.

Even Li Wei hoped for this conflict to occur.

But this doesn't mean it has to be a fight to the death—if Black Bolt is really killed, then there will truly be no room for reconciliation between the two sides.

This is neither in the interests of the alliance nor in line with the alliance's mission.

However, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.

What Levi didn't notice was that Wanda fell into thought after he finished speaking.

In Wanda's view, Levi couldn't have made such a claim without reason. Since he said that, he must have some special ability to fight against the seemingly powerful Black Bolt.

Next, when Levi introduced the abilities of the many Inhumans of Attilan to the Alliance members—although they did not intend to actually go to war, precautions always need to be taken—Levi was definitely going to tell the Alliance members about the Inhumans' abilities in order to prevent them from being caught off guard in case of unexpected situations.

Ultimately, from Li Wei's perspective, if something unexpected really happened, the lives of the Alliance members would be far more precious than those of the Inhumans.

When he described Black Bolt's abilities, Wanda's mind suddenly cleared.

That's right. Black Bolt's power requires his mouth to activate, so if I just take away his mouth, wouldn't that cripple him?

In fact, as the human form of chaos magic, Wanda is actually very intelligent.

However, her early sensitivity and kindness in the original timeline made her actions seem less than intelligent.

However, when she becomes the fully evolved Scarlet Witch, her combat intelligence is maxed out.

The various maneuvers left Doctor Strange struggling to keep up and unable to confront the enemy head-on.

Even the so-called high-class illuminator could not pose any obstacle in front of her.

Now, although she has not become the real Scarlet Witch, her heart is completely devoted to Levi. Under Levi's guidance, her thoughts are beginning to gravitate towards him and she is considering his needs.

So it was easy for her to come up with this idea.

However, she kept this thought to herself and didn't say it aloud.

Therefore, Li Wei was unaware of this; otherwise, he would have given her a subtle warning: he was just joking, and she absolutely mustn't take it seriously.

……

Soon, led by Levi and Tony, all the Alliance members were ready, donned the brand-new space-age nano-steel suits, passed through the portal, and arrived outside the city of Attilan.

That's right, the League's Iron Man suits have all been upgraded to nano-versions more than a decade ahead of schedule.

After all, nanotechnology is already a very sophisticated technology in the universe.

Therefore, Tony had already completed the design of the nanotech warfare when he was on New Earth.

"What do we do next? Are we just supposed to wait here for them to come out?" Tony asked Levi over the communicator as they arrived outside Attilan and looked at the city that had been forced to reveal itself.

"Of course not! Who knows what they're thinking? What if they want to hide? We have to force them out!" Without another word, Li Wei gathered magical energy in his hands and slammed it directly into the Attilan energy barrier in front of him.

Attilan's energy barrier was very strong, but it was nothing to a mage with the combat power of a hell lord.

Li Wei didn't even need to use the power of the Infinity Stones to blast a huge hole in Attilan's outer energy defenses.

Attilan's defense system is not limited to this energy defense; there is also a physical dome inside.

However, compared to energy defense, the physical dome is not very strong. Without an energy shield, the physical dome would not last an hour before collapsing due to the internal and external pressure.

In the original storyline, it was because Maximus completely shut down the outer energy shield that Attilan was destroyed.

However, the outer energy shield has a self-repair function, so it can repair itself as long as the energy source is not completely shut down.

Therefore, Li Wei didn't need to worry that his attack would completely destroy Attilan.

"Let's go in!" Li Wei ordered, watching the energy shield repairing itself at a visible speed.

Subsequently, under his leadership, the Alliance and tens of thousands of Iron Soldiers easily invaded Attiland.

At this moment, the Attilan royal family, led by Black Bolt, had no idea what was happening.

Although they already knew that Attiland was surrounded by the Iron Legion, they did not take immediate defensive measures due to their confidence in Attiland's protective shield and Black Bolt's strength. Instead, they prioritized calming the panicked people of Attiland.

So when the royal guards ran over to report that the outer defenses had been breached, the Attilan high command was completely bewildered.

For a moment, I didn't even know what to do next.

It can only be said that the Attilan people, who have lived in seclusion in a remote corner for many years and have almost no contact with the outside world, have long since lost their ability to adapt.

In this respect, Attilan is completely different from Wakanda and Talokan.

Although Wakanda and Tarokan are also isolated from the world, they are on Earth, too close to other countries on Earth.

Wakanda, in particular, is acutely aware of the suffering of its neighboring "fellow" nations.

So although they don't flaunt everything they possess, they are very well prepared for war, in order to prevent their existence from being exposed one day.

However, the Inhumans of Attilan, relying on being on the moon and far from the troubles of Earth, were truly completely unprepared.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Everyone looked at Black Bolt.

However, by this point, the situation had deteriorated to the point where they had no choice but to abandon any further plans.

Because at that moment, the allied forces had already stormed in.

Even with their Kree weapons, the Attilan royal guards were no match for the formidable steel legion.

One by one, they all fell to the non-lethal weapons of the steel soldiers.

Today, the alliance is quite adept at using various non-lethal weapons.

The former S.H.I.E.L.D. should have a lot to say about this.

After eliminating these obstacles, the Iron Legion quickly took control of the situation, and any Inhumans who attempted to resist were swiftly subdued. Although the Inhumans of Attilan possessed a wide variety of abilities, it must be said that their combat skills were extremely poor, or even nonexistent.

Faced with a new generation of steel soldiers who have been fed various combat data, including war data from many alien civilizations, they are simply unable to put up an effective resistance.

Even Tetanus, the large dog with teleportation abilities, was captured by the Iron Soldiers under the haphazard command of the still-young Inhuman Princess Crystal.

Meanwhile, the Attilan royals, who were originally calming the people in the city square, were all surrounded by a large number of steel soldiers.

"Everyone in Attilan, please give up resistance to avoid unnecessary damage. We will make proper arrangements for you, especially for all those who have not awakened the so-called Inhuman abilities. You will be treated equally..." While surrounding everyone, these steel soldiers continued to broadcast the message.

This was done, of course, to undermine the foundation of Attilan's rule.

Although the alliance led by Livy did not intend to fight the Inhumans to the death, it did not mean that they did not have the idea of ​​dismantling Attilan.

After all, the ruling structure of Attilan, where people who cannot awaken their Inhuman abilities are forced to become tunnel workers who are practically slaves, would be extremely disruptive even in most stable countries on Earth.

Moreover, these "slaves" of Attilan were not illiterate people who could do nothing but physical labor.

In fact, every Inhuman born in Attilan receives a full education before the age of 18, and their level of education far surpasses that of Earth.

After all, Attilan possessed technology left over from the Kree Empire.

Even if the Attilan Inhumans only knew the facts but not the reasons behind them, their level of knowledge was still far superior to that of humans on Earth.

But these highly educated humans, after undergoing the Terrigen Crystal Awakening Ceremony at the age of 18, if they fail to awaken any abilities, will be sent to the lowest level of the city to do the most arduous manual labor.

The living supplies they could obtain were the worst, barely enough to make ends meet.

This kind of class division is no different from the caste system in some parts of the world.

The only difference was that these Attilaans were highly educated.

Therefore, they will think and also possess a rebellious spirit.

Unfortunately, in Attilan, a rebellious spirit alone was not enough.

After all, these humans without any abilities are not numerically superior to the capable Inhumans.

They also lacked access to weapons.

In terms of individual strength, they are no match for the awakened Inhumans.

So they had no choice but to accept their fate.

This is why, in the original storyline, when Maximus, a royal member who was also incompetent, stepped forward and, with just a little manipulation, easily gained the support of all the lower-class Attilans, completing a coup that seemed like a joke to politicians on Earth.

And now, the Steel Legion has given them hope of escaping their current lives.

Not one of these lower-ranking Inhumans stood up to respond to the Inhuman royal family's call to resist.

Instead, they all silently moved to the side, fully cooperating with the Iron Legion's control.

So when Levi, Tony, and the others arrived, they saw a group of lower-class Attilaans standing obediently to the side.

Some of the ordinary superhumans who were forcibly subdued.

And the royal family members who are still in a standoff with the Iron Legion.

When he saw the very cooperative lower-class Attilaans, Livy was quite satisfied.

After all, in his and Tony's vision, these lower-class Attilans were all high-quality citizens of the future New Earth.

Having received higher education, their past experiences mean they certainly don't have high expectations for various benefits.

One can imagine the energy they would unleash if the league treated them relatively fairly.

"Humans! What do you want?" When Levi, Tony, and the other Alliance members landed and removed their masks, the royal family members immediately realized that the person in charge had arrived. So, Queen Medusa was the first to step forward and question them.

"What do we want? Shouldn't we be asking that question? You know, it was your people who attacked our robots first!" Li Wei asked with a half-smile.

“Yes, that is indeed our responsibility, but wasn’t it caused by your Earthlings’ unauthorized invasion of the moon?” Maximus immediately stepped forward and said.

"Invade the moon? Invade is a very good word... So how do you prove that the moon is yours? If you say that this city is your territory, I won't say anything, but the moon... Heh, my requirements are not high. If you can stand outside this city without any protection for five minutes, I will immediately take my people away and withdraw from the moon forever!" Li Wei said with a sneer.

Maxim was speechless for a moment.

This might be possible for an exceptional individual capable of living in a vacuum environment.

He was a person who had not awakened any abilities and was almost no different from an Earthling.

Let alone five minutes, if he can survive for more than a minute, he's amazing.

"Humans, I know we are in the wrong, but isn't your large-scale attack a bit too much? If you withdraw now, we can sit down and talk things over. Otherwise, you may not know the power of our king. With just a word from him, no matter how large your army is, it will be wiped out in an instant!" Medusa said, looking at Black Bolt beside her.

Black Bolt confidently stepped forward.

"Mouth? What mouth?" Just as Li Wei was about to say something, Wanda's sneer came from beside him.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei's expression changed instantly.

Because he actually saw that Black Bolt's mouth was gone.

No, girl, we were just joking before, why are you taking it seriously?
Not only was Li Wei surprised, but many members of the Alliance also stared in astonishment at Black Bolt's mouth disappearing, and then all looked at Wanda, who was smiling and seemingly harmless.

So that's what Victor meant when he said "we have the Scarlet Witch"?
The strange expressions on the faces of the Alliance members alerted the members of the Inhuman Royal Family, with Maximus asking in surprise, "Brother, where's your mouth?"

Upon hearing Maximus's reminder, Black Bolt instinctively touched his mouth.

As a result, they discovered that the area where their mouths had been was completely smooth.

She panicked instantly and instinctively wanted to speak.

As a result, the generated sonic waves could not be emitted and directly blasted Black Bolt's own brain into mush.

He met his end in the same way as himself in Universe 838.
