Chapter 142 The Underwater World of Talokan

"This isn't the place to talk, let's find somewhere else."

With that, Tracha led the two men into the reception room.

As Tony saw the surrounding arrangements along the way, he was filled with indescribable shock.

To be honest, while Wakanda's technology is far more advanced than that of the outside world, many of its things seem rather ordinary to Tony.

Tony wasn't surprised by how advanced Wakanda's technology was, but rather by the fact that such an advanced country existed that he had never heard of before.

Looking up at the sky, Tony noticed a ripple that seemed to flash across the heavens, and he immediately understood.

It must be admitted that Wakanda was very clever.

As a country, Wakanda has a small population and its cities are not particularly large.

Moreover, their technology is far more advanced than that of the outside world, so their cities are mainly three-dimensional structures.

This significantly reduces the size of the city.

In addition, Wakanda's advanced optical camouflage system makes it impossible for satellites to detect the country's existence.

The country's major cities have been disguised by Wakanda as ordinary mountain forests.

The only thing they showcase to the outside world is their agriculture.

To outsiders, Wakanda is nothing more than a backward country that is mainly based on agriculture and animal husbandry.

This seems quite reasonable for underdeveloped African countries.

But if you think about it carefully, you'll find that something's not right.

A country's backwardness is multifaceted. Most African countries struggle to even meet their own needs. How can Wakanda export agricultural products?

However, because of its small size, this tiny country is generally not paid much attention to.

Before Wakanda announced its existence, 99% of the world's population was unaware that such a country existed in Africa.

Along the way, Tony had to admit that he had been greatly inspired by Wakanda's technology.

Because Wakanda's technological approach and Tony's technology are two completely different systems.

Their technology is based on vibranium, and by combining vibranium, they have developed many highly innovative products.

However, this technology also has extremely large limitations.

Without vibranium, their technology is like a rootless duckweed or water without a source—just fleeting clouds.

Therefore, Tony quickly lost interest in Wakanda's technology.

Without the ability to acquire large quantities of vibranium, these technologies are worthless.

However, considering the excellent performance of vibranium, Tony felt that he might be able to take this opportunity to cooperate with Wakanda and upgrade his armor once again.

Tony, focused on technology, didn't notice what Lynn and Tracha were talking about.

When he came to his senses, Lynn and Tracha's relationship had improved considerably, and the two were having a very pleasant conversation.

After learning what had happened in Wakanda, Lynn could understand Tracha's hostility towards him.

No matter which country it is, if its supreme leader is attacked, seriously injured and unconscious, and has not yet woken up, that country will not have a particularly good attitude towards outsiders.

Not to mention that the supreme leader is Tracha's father.

"So you mean the culprit behind all this isn't Atlantis, but someone else?"

Tracha did not readily believe what Lynn said.

"Thank you for the information you provided. I will send someone to verify your information as soon as possible."

Upon hearing Tracha's words, Lynn immediately understood his attitude.

"I think it's unnecessary at this point in time—"

Tracha shook his head slightly.

"Regardless of who was behind it all, and regardless of what happened in Atlantis, the attack was ultimately carried out by the people of Atlantis."

Tracha said very firmly,

"Even if there was some misunderstanding, the perpetrator who attacked my father needs to be punished."

"I can promise you that we will not escalate the war, but the perpetrators who did this must pay the price they deserve."

Hearing Tracha say this, Lynn sighed slightly.

He couldn't help but glance at Tony, which made Tony feel a little strange.

If Lynn remembers correctly, Bucky is still in Wakanda and has become a guest of honor there.

The problem is that Bucky is also the murderer of Tony's parents.

I wonder how Tony will react after he finds out about this.

"If—I mean if—the killer was also being controlled, and didn't know what he was doing when he committed the attack."

"So what are you going to do then?"

Tracha refused to discuss the topic with Lynn.

"All of this is meaningless."

"I refuse to comment on this matter until I know the truth."

Lynn glanced at Tracha.

"If it were the White Wolf who did this, what would you do?"

"Do you know White Wolf?"

Tracha frowned.

"You should know some of the White Wolf's past."

Lynn said calmly.

"I'm the one who had the white wolf delivered here."

"Without me, White Wolf would never have been able to escape that organization's control."

"If that organization controlled White Wolf and made him do this, what would you do?"

Tracha remained silent.

He knew, of course, that White Wolf had been controlled by an organization in the past and had done many terrible things, a past that White Wolf did not want to recall.

But now, it was the white wolf who saved his father, preventing him from escaping death.

If the White Wolf is controlled again...

Tracha frowned slightly.

"I understand how you feel."

Lynn said seriously.

"Wakanda is not a closed country; you should know what kind of person I am."

"It's a situation where loved ones suffer while enemies rejoice; this is exactly what those people want to see."

"From your perspective, I can certainly understand your thoughts."

"I have no intention of spouting any high-sounding platitudes or anything like that."

"But compared to targeting a poor, controlled person, I believe making the mastermind behind it all pay a real price is the wisest choice."

What do you think?

Lynn avoided looking at Tony, as if she were referring to something.

"I?"

Tony didn't understand why Lynn would suddenly mention him.

"Lynn is right."

Tony acted as if he knew nothing and only agreed with what Lynn said.

Lynn sighed inwardly.

Although he has ordered all relevant materials to be destroyed, it is hard to guarantee that no one who knows the truth might have been left behind.

This matter remained a landmine between Tony and Steve.

Even if Lynn killed everyone in the universe who knew about it, it would be of no use.

It's important to know that in other multiverses and other timelines, countless conspirators are eyeing this universe with predatory intent.

Putting everything else aside, Cassandra alone is enough to give Lynn a headache.

Who can guarantee that Cassandra didn't know about this?

If he uses this incident to sow discord between Tony and Steve, and then detonates it at a crucial moment, Lynn wouldn't know how to deal with it.

Both Steve and Tony are members of the Illuminati, so it's not a wise choice for Lynn to side with either of them.

From Tony's perspective, his parents were killed by Bucky, so doesn't he even have the right to seek revenge?

Although Hydra was the one who did this, look at what Hydra has become now?

Even if Tony wanted revenge, he couldn't find anyone to take it out on.

Not to mention the deaths of his parents, which have always been Tony's biggest regret.

A irrational Tony would definitely take out his anger on Bucky.

He made no mistakes.

But the question is, did Bucky do something wrong? Did Steve do something wrong?

Bucky did nothing wrong, or rather, this matter had nothing to do with him at all.

He was under the control of Hydra at the time, and had no reason or thought whatsoever.

The fault lies not with Bucky, but with Hydra.

Of course, Steve couldn't just stand by and watch Tony kill his friend.

Not to mention that this friend is Steve's only connection to that era.

Lynn has no idea why the Atlanteans attacked Wakanda without any apparent reason.

All he said was merely speculation about one possibility.

The main purpose was to remind Tony and prepare him for this kind of thing in advance.

I will seriously consider what you have said.

Tracha said seriously.

Compared to Tony, Tracha is more mature. Their identities are different, so the things they consider will naturally be different.

As a leader of a country, Terraghan's approach to things is more rational.

Although he is still just a naive young man, as the next king of Wakanda, he must consider the country.

Revenge is never something he does alone.

If he is determined to avenge his father, it will surely be a war between one country and another.

War inevitably results in death.

His father's life is a life, but are the lives of the people not also lives?

Those soldiers who died on the battlefield were also someone's sons and someone's fathers.

If this were to actually happen, Tracha's decision would certainly be more rational.

"You will definitely be an excellent king in the future."

Lynn looked at Tracha with great admiration.

at the same time.

Underwater world, Talokan

This is the capital of the Atlanteans, and also the largest city in the entire Atlantis.

Eric sat upright beside Namor's throne, looking at the vibranium-forged equipment presented before him, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"We have made what you asked for."

"So when will you fulfill the promises you made to us?"

Namo said calmly.

"Don't rush."

Eric's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"You didn't keep your promise to me, did you?"

"We've already sacrificed three people for your so-called plan!"

Namor looked extremely angry.

"You didn't tell me that Wakanda's defenses were this strong."

Eric shook his head slightly.

"I've already warned you; you've all been far too arrogant."

"Both countries possess vibranium, so why do you think Wakanda is inferior to you?"

"It was your carelessness that led to the sacrifice of those people."

"If you had listened to me and acted cautiously, there would have been no casualties, and the old king would not have survived."

Eric showed no fear, as if this wasn't Atlantis's home ground.

Namo remained silent for a moment.

"I hope you can do what you say you will."

"Don't forget, we still have leverage over you."

"If I wanted to, you could lose your life at any time."

Namo waved his hand dismissively.

"Just do as you say."

"But there's no need to rush right now."

"The old king hasn't died yet, and the people of Wakanda are still united, so we need to incite internal strife among them."

"I will only step in to take over Wakanda when Tracha's legitimacy is questioned."

"It's still too early, far too early."

"I still need your help."

No, I can no longer help you.

Namo refused without hesitation.

"We have already sacrificed three members of our tribe for your sake, so I—"

"What if I told you that our next target is Wakanda's vibranium mine?"

Namo's tone faltered for a moment.

"Well—it's not something we can't consider."

Eric nodded slightly, but couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, feeling utterly disdainful.

Although Namor claims to be an immortal who has lived for hundreds of years, he is far too naive and easily fooled.

If it weren't for his excessively powerful military force, such a ruler would probably have been killed countless times by now.

As for promises...

Eric scoffed; he never took any promises seriously.

For him, Atlantis was nothing more than a tool to be used.

Once he has complete control of Wakanda, he will also annex Atlantis!

"This time, I will personally lead the attack on Wakanda's vibranium mine!"

When vibranium fell to Earth from space, Wakanda was not the only place to obtain vibranium minerals.

The second country to discover vibranium was Atlantis.

Unlike Wakanda, Atlantis' vibranium is found at the bottom of the sea.

Fortunately, since vibranium is a metallic mineral brought by an asteroid, there is no need to consider how to mine it.

The history of the Atlanteans is not very long.

In a sense, they and Wakanda are of the same origin.

Wakanda is so powerful now because they use vibranium, and based on vibranium, they have developed their own unique technology tree.

However, the contribution of heart-shaped grass should not be overlooked.

The reason why Atlantis was able to survive on the seabed was not because their bodies had mutated.

The reason they have blue skin and even fish gills is because they consume a unique heart-shaped herb.

However, this unique heart-shaped grass caused these people to mutate, eventually migrating to the seabed and becoming the people of Atlantis.

So, like Wakanda, the people of Atlantis are all mini-superhumans.

T'Challa accepted Lynn's advice and promised Lynn that he would not rashly launch a war against the Atlanteans before fully investigating the situation.

"If you receive any further news from the Atlanteans, please be sure to inform us."

Lynn said very seriously.

"To be honest, according to the intelligence I have, the conflict between Atlantis and Wakanda is being instigated by someone behind the scenes."

"In fact, this isn't the first time the person behind this has done something like this."

T'Challa nodded emphatically.

To be honest, T'Challa had a very good impression of the Illuminati.

In addition, T'Challa has a remarkably keen political sense.

Due to certain special factors, Wakanda decided to publicly announce its existence.

This means that Wakanda will inevitably have interactions with other countries in the future, especially the Security Council, which is responsible for global affairs.

In today's global environment, a country's strength alone is of no use whatsoever.

Although Wakanda's technology is advanced, they have been isolated for too long and have had little contact with the outside world.

To have a voice in global affairs, one must have certain allies.

America may not be the best choice, but building good relationships with other superhumans around the world is definitely the right choice.

Just as he was about to see Lynn and Tony off, an explosion rang out!

The owner was startled and turned around to see a large stream of water rushing towards him from not far away.

"Atlanteans!"

T'Challa roared.

He has discovered that the place where the explosion occurred is their most important vibranium mine.

As is well known, vibranium is a mineral brought by an asteroid from outer space.

This unique mineral is rare on Earth, and even in the entire universe.

Although it is unknown how much vibranium ore exists in the universe, Wakanda on Earth has discovered all the vibranium they possess.

It's no exaggeration to say that vibranium is a rare mineral; once it's used, it's gone forever.

Given that the amount of ore is not large to begin with, Wakanda strictly limits the outflow of vibranium.

In addition, the natural growth of the heart-shaped grass, and even the black panther spirit of Wakanda, are all inextricably linked to vibranium.

So a long time ago, Wakanda had almost completely stopped all work on vibranium mining.

Due to the excellent properties of vibranium, weapons made from vibranium show almost no wear and tear.

Therefore, even if vibranium mining ceases, Wakana will still not lack vibranium.

But now, Wakanda's most important mine has been attacked by the Atlanteans. How could T'Challa possibly tolerate this?

T'Challa abruptly turned his head and stared intently at Lynn.

"Now, no matter what the host's true intentions are, the hatred between us and the people of Atlantis will not be easily extinguished."

T'Challa said through gritted teeth.

As he spoke, he dashed straight toward the mine.
