Back at Namor, the flagship of the Sea Dragon, leaned back in the chair of the council chamber.

He raised one hand to support his chin, and his face was cloudy.

The king of Atlantis, who considered himself humiliated and threatened, left Liberty Island without waiting for the end of the negotiations.

He had already given the specific tasks to the members of the delegation.

Anyway, neither the land world nor the people of Atlantis seem to take the king seriously.

Rather than continue to stay there and endure Superman's oppression, it would be more comfortable to return to the flagship.

"Obviously a careerist who wants to get more benefits from Atlantis, but he presents himself as a messenger of peace. It's ridiculous! ”

Out of Superman's sight, Namor was finally able to speak out loud.

He held his back and let off steam, and after venting his negative emotions briskly, he began to face up to the problem to be solved.

Superman doesn't have much time left for himself.

Within forty-eight hours.

Either hand over Sebastian Shaw; Or choose to restart the war.

If the outcome of the negotiations were to favor the latter, Mr. Major General, who claimed to be a pacifist, would not hesitate to use nuclear weapons to completely destroy the royal city of Poseidonia.

On one side is the life of the clan, and on the other side is the mutant compatriots.

Namor was torn and torn in his heart.

But what made him more concerned was Superman's mention of the word "war criminal".

That's a serious accusation!

Despite his brains, Namor doesn't have a good idea of the executioner and the butcher - even though he sometimes makes cameos in both roles.

A villain with a low moral bottom line may not be willing to be friends with another self.

It's like a lot of the time, people don't like nosy guys.

But when I was in trouble, I desperately hoped that someone would stand up.

Therefore, human beings are very complex and contradictory creatures.

Namor is even more complicated.

He is both human, Atlantean, and mutant.

A fighter among half-breeds!

It's just that this product can't find any other advantages except for its strong strength.

In a way, it's a failed example of genetic inheritance.

"I'll have to talk to Mr. Xiao."

Namor's brow furrowed, not knowing what to do.

After a lost battle, after a lost war.

Many people in Atlantis have a lot of complaints about themselves.

If Namor insists on sheltering Sebastian Shaw, I'm afraid it will cause a violent backlash.

When the time comes, it is difficult to say whether he will be able to continue to sit firmly in the king's seat.

"Hypocrisy! What a pacifist is nothing more than a high-sounding lie! ”

Namor feels that Superman deliberately proposes to solve the mutant problem, and then detonates the internal contradictions of Atlantis in the name of disposing of Sebastian Shaw.

"The people of that delegation are too short-sighted to see the intentions of the first layer, and they are completely unaware of Superman's sinister intentions."

Namor, who thinks he is standing on the fifth floor, becomes more and more frightened by Superman's castle.

This is a terrible opponent!

He thought.

……

……

Liberty Island, conference room.

When the representatives of both sides dispersed, on the edge of the long oval desk, Luke and Secretary of the Navy Nimitz sat down.

The two had a tacit understanding and stayed here to exchange views.

They all know that this negotiation is far from over.

On the one hand, Namor did not give a direct answer; On the other hand, there is the specific attitude of the terrestrial world.

As a maritime civilization and a prehistoric civilization, Atlantis has an extraordinary heritage and strength.

When the name spreads around the world, all the countries on the land will pay close attention and be vigilant.

Luke had heard that the British had begun to restart the "Worden Blood" research program, albeit slowly.

In order to ensure the success rate and survival time of the receptors, they abandoned the "battleship class" and instead developed various types of "tank class".

Stephanie, who had assisted Luke before, was considering whether to come up with another low-spec version.

Like, "armored car class"?

Super soldiers that can be mass-produced are far more cost-effective than high-end combat power.

The Soviet Union, on the other hand, continued to vigorously develop the nuclear industry, burying its head in mushrooms, and dealing with various threats from the outside world.

Maozi's brain circuitry is simple.

There is no problem that cannot be solved by a nuclear bomb!

One is not enough?

Then another one!

Anyway, there is a miracle in the force!

That's the simple idea of a stuffy bear.

Caliber is justice, and equivalence is truth.

"Convening a peace summit...... Major General Cavill wants to drag all the countries of the world in and form an alliance front? ”

Nimitz thought for a moment and asked curiously.

The White House did not reveal such a meaning, and could only be interpreted as Luke's personal thoughts.

This major general is also really bold, and now he has skipped the president and made a decision directly.

I don't care at all if I will be held accountable afterwards.

This is probably Superman's confidence!

"Atlantis is a vast country, and all the waters on the earth are theoretically considered their territory."

Luke nodded, tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and said calmly: "We have won the victory for the time being, and we have won the opportunity to sit at the negotiating table, but there is no way to expand the results of the victory." ”

"On the one hand, the destruction of the royal city of Posedonia is a last resort and will not solve the fundamental problem. Because Atlantis is a maritime civilization, we can't seize land to plunder resources. ”

"On the other hand, a single country in the terrestrial world does not put enough pressure on the people on the seabed."

"So what we have to do is to win over more allies – like the British, like the Soviets, and ...... Spear Bureau. ”

"They're also interested in Atlantis and just waiting for an opportunity to get in, or rather an excuse."

Nimitz was convinced, and through several contact battles and landing battles, he also saw the level of technology in Atlantis.

At this time, it is still necessary to reach a consensus with other countries and agree with the outside world.

"If it's Namor Mackenzie, that...... The young man, who did not look like a king at all, insisted on sheltering Sebastian Shaw ......"

The Admiralty Minister asked hesitantly.

The Pentagon doesn't want to see war coming.

Especially in the face of a prehistoric civilization with strong military strength like Atlantis.

"Rest assured, it's hard to start the war again."

Luke looked confident that the Atlanteans wouldn't mess around with Namor.

They are not siblings with the mutants, so there is no need to risk a resumption of war and refuse his demands.

If Namor had insisted, it would have caused a revolt from his clansmen.

When the time comes, the country will be dragged into the quagmire by impure blood, the loss of the golden trident, and the unauthorized start of war...... These problems will erupt all at once.

If Atlantis had been replaced by France, it is estimated that the Great Revolution would have broken out long ago and sent Namor to the guillotine.

"Put the peace summit and mutant related matters on the agenda as soon as possible. As for the White House, I will personally explain it to the president. ”

Facing Nimitz, who was a general, Luke, who was two levels lower, was more like the one who gave orders.

……

……

"War criminals? No, it's a sin of desire! It's slander and slander! ”

In the reception room, Sebastian looked at Namor, who was expressionless, and did not panic in the slightest, but made a sad expression that could not be looked back on.

"I did something for the Third Reich, and it was a shadow in my life that I couldn't erase. But that was not my intention, Germany during the Second World War was under the rule of the Führer, and no one dared to resist the SS and the Gestapo. ”

"Namor, you know, I'm a scientist. The Führer took a fancy to my talent and ordered me to run the concentration camps, and I tried to refuse, but they put a gun to my head and said they wanted me to see my brains......"

"At that time, I hadn't awakened the innate abilities of mutants. So, I gave in! I often regret and be ashamed of the decision I made! ”、

Namor, who was originally suspicious, began to waver in his heart.

Sebastian Shaw's words are half-truths and half-truths, making it difficult to tell them apart.

Coupled with the layered complex emotions such as guilt, sadness, and regret in his eyes, it is normal to deceive the mindless Namor.

It can only be said that Sebastian Shaw deserves to be the black king of the Hellfire Club.

A good actor who has been delayed by his mutant status, if he enters Hollywood, Oscar is estimated to owe him several little statuettes.

"My hands may have been stained with the blood of some innocent people, but I have never killed or tortured any prisoners held in concentration camps!"

Sebastian raised his voice, his eyes calm, and said loudly: "I have my own moral bottom line, and they are unique and respectful of life, regardless of color or race!" ”

Namor couldn't help but bow his head, as if sorry for his unwarranted suspicions.

"Your Majesty, the landers are not to be trusted. Most of the crimes they accuse were actually committed by other people and planted on my head. ”

Sebastian was calm and said lightly: "Just imagine, if I am really a cold-blooded butcher and an inhuman executioner, how can I be supported by fellow mutants?" ”

Namor was silent for a moment, and for reasons of psychological suggestion, he chose to believe Mr. Shaw's defense.

His mind and subconscious, tampered with and guided, will actively lean towards the mutant's side no matter what.

This is also the tricky part of the psychic ability.

Unless the magic resistance is extremely high, it comes with spiritual immunity.

Otherwise, anyone who touches the White Queen and the bald professor will feel a headache.

"And what do we do next, Mr. Xiao?"

Namor is a little overwhelmed, sacrificing Atlantis to save the mutants?

If he did this, his disgruntled people might unite with the land world and remove him from the throne of king.

"My mind remains the same, Your Majesty."

Sebastian said in a deep voice: "Everything you get at the negotiating table is decided by the winner of the war. ”

"If you want to have peace, you must first show strength. There is a superman in the land world, and although we don't want to admit it, the other party is indeed a huge problem that cannot be solved! ”

"The only way is to use planetary-level weapons to destroy the land world."

"Let Superman lose his mind, let him step into our trap, and then bury him completely with the help of the continental shelf oscillator."

"Since this weapon can destroy the anomalies of the Lemurian civilization, there is no reason why it can't kill Superman!"

Seeing Namor's hesitation, a trace of contempt flashed in Sebastian's eyes, and he continued to add a fire: "Your Majesty, think about it, will the Atlanteans accept a king who has failed repeatedly?" ”

"Superman has taken everything from you, the trident of the symbol of royal power, the respect and glory that it deserves!"

"He is enshrined as a hero and god in the terrestrial world! But you can only become an insignificant subordinate in the opponent's glorious record! ”

"Can you accept such an ending?"

Namor's breathing was a little heavier, and as he listened to Sebastian's inflammatory tirade, memories came flooding back.

He seemed to have returned to the days of the slums, and he should have respected himself with great respect, groveling people, his eyes were full of alienation and indifference.

The difference in skin color makes Namor feel like an outlier and is rejected by others.

With the exception of his mother, every Atlantean looked at him as a monster.

"I can only trust you, Mr. Xiao."

Stripped of the last trace of struggle, Namor calmly said, "I can be a loser, but I must not lose the crown and go back to my old life!" ”

"Excellent! To achieve great things, you must know how to sacrifice some people. ”

Sebastian patted Namor on the shoulder and said approvingly, "While Atlantis and the land world are still negotiating, let's take out that ultimate weapon directly." ”

"Do you want to call someone else?"

Namor asked.

"In the club, there are also some people who are not firm enough, in order to ensure that the news is not leaked, just the two of us!"

Sebastian muttered.
