"What the hell is going on? I only spent a few hours preparing for the ceremony, why is it like this outside? In the palace of Atilan, Maximus stood on the royal viewing platform, looking at the whole city in chaos, and asked hysterically.

"We don't know what's going on, those monsters seem to appear out of thin air, spreading rapidly, and by the time we find out, it's too late, and we're only half-manned now...... As for those civilians, we have nothing to do except for the more than 10,000 people who have now entered the royal city! Oran replied with some frustration beside him.

"What about the Americans?" Maximus asked with a dark face.

"They can't hold it anymore, they are retreating to the royal city under the leadership of General Hawke, they estimate that there are more than 3,000 people, plus our own troops, there is no big problem in holding the palace, according to General Hawke, as long as we can hold the palace, and wait until the arrival of the American army on the earth, we can retake Attillan, but the premise is that we hand over the core control of the palace, but this is ......" Oran frowned and clarified the situation in his heart to Maximus.

"But in that case, Attilan probably doesn't really belong to us, right?" Maximus sighed.

In fact, what Orlan was worried about was exactly what he was worried about.

Although the coup d'état was carried out with the help of the U.S. military, and the U.S. side also completed the garrison of Attillan, at that time, the two sides still had a certain basis for cooperation...... Maximus has the support of more than 100,000 commoners in Attillan, and he also has thousands of royal guards in his hands, even those powerful Inhuman nobles are in a wait-and-see mode, and they are not completely against him.

The most important thing is that he still controls the core of Attilán, that is, the control of the palace.

And all this is the capital for him to be able to cooperate with the United States on an equal footing...... If it was in the early days, he didn't understand the strength of the earth, and maybe he would have had a little unrealistic idea of attacking the earth and ruling all mankind after mastering Attillan, but as he hooked up with Sonic and Dylan Good, he had a considerable understanding of the earth...... Especially after seeing the combat effectiveness of the Nano Special Combat Team, he completely abandoned that unrealistic idea, he was just a little arrogant and ambitious, which did not mean that he was stupid.

However, giving up his rule does not mean that he will really submit to the United States, and there is no problem in sitting, with the background of Attillan, and the United States government on an equal footing, and reciprocal cooperation with each other.

However, all of this is now over, the whole city is full of monsters, a large number of civilian casualties, and the army under his command can only shrink to the royal city to reduce losses, this situation, those nobles who are not loyal to themselves are even more unwilling to support themselves, and it is even very likely that they are already planning to overthrow themselves and rescue the Black Bolt King.

And the power that he can control now, since the few remaining royal guards and the control of the palace, has no ability to suppress those nobles at all, and if he wants to continue to suppress those nobles and ensure his status, he can only rely on the US military.

So now the U.S. military wants control of the palace, can he not give it?

If the result is not given, it is unlikely that the US military will be forcibly captured, but what if the other party directly gives up Attillan? People can just pat their butts and leave in a spaceship, but what about themselves? Without Attillan, without his Inhumans, he was nothing.

A better result would probably be that the Black Bolt King would re-ascend the throne and take back Attilan with those capable Inhumans, while he himself would be imprisoned and never see the light of day.

The worse result is that all the Inhumans, including him, will be torn to shreds by the monsters outside.

So now he doesn't have a choice.

"Give them the core control of the royal city, and besides, start the evolution ritual now!" Maximus looked at the chaotic city in the distance, gritted his teeth and ordered Oran.

"What?" Orlan looked at Maximus in disbelief, damn it, you want to give the permission to those earthlings, just forget it, when is it now, and you still want to evolve the Terrigen Crystal?

"Don't look at me with that kind of eye, I know what you're trying to write, now that there are no people who support us, and the army has suffered heavy losses, all we can rely on is the army of the earthlings, and the core control can only be handed over, which means that we have lost everything, in this case, what can I do except strengthen my own strength to ensure that there is still some right to speak in the future?" Maximus said indignantly.

Oran lowered his head and did not speak, everything now is not the result she wants at all, she supports the coup d'état of Maximus in order to change the social structure of Attilan and change the living conditions of the people at the bottom.

At first, Maximus did do a little, but now? The people she guarded were in danger of extinction, and even she and her soldiers needed the protection of outsiders, and even had to give up control of the most important royal palace in the whole of Attilán, and the king she chose to follow was only thinking about gaining power for herself at this time?

So what's the point of what she's been doing? Maybe if it wasn't for a coup d'état and was still under the rule of Black Bolt, would it be better now? Although class oppression was severe at the beginning, there was no threat to security...... I don't know where those monsters came from.

Maximus didn't have time to explore Orlan's thoughts, all he was thinking about was the Terrigen Crystal Evolution Ritual now, and now he had almost nothing, if he couldn't get the power again, then he had worked so hard, what was the point of it now?

Soon, the U.S. military led by Hawke transferred the command to the Attilan Palace, and after a short exchange with Maximus, he completely obtained the core control of the entire palace, as well as the command of the royal guard, in exchange, Hawke naturally expressed his support for Maximus's upcoming evolutionary ritual, and specially set aside five from the few nano-special soldiers in his hands to protect the smooth progress of his ceremony.

And with the U.S. military and the Inhuman army all retreating into the palace, the defense force of the entire palace has become almost invulnerable, and with the ability of the alien itself, it is absolutely impossible to break through the defense force of the palace.

It was also in this context that Maximus officially began the ritual of evolution with confidence.

However, watching Maximus enter the evolution module, Oran, who had always been his most loyal deputy, left the ceremony hall with a gloomy face and walked towards the depths of the palace.

Although the main defense of the palace has been handed over to the US military, the US soldiers basically know Orlan, the captain of the guard of the governor of Attiran, and they will not interfere too much with her actions, so she came to the deepest part of the palace, guarded by a group of soldiers...... And in this room, it is the former Inhuman king, the Black Bolt King, and the newly captured queen Medusa.

Because it involves internal affairs, the soldiers in charge of guarding the two are still Inhuman soldiers, not American soldiers, and they are even more familiar with Oran...... Because both before and after the coup, they were Ålan's direct subordinates.

"Sir, what's going on?" Seeing Orlan's sudden visit, the Inhuman officer in charge of guarding the place couldn't help but ask a little strangely.

"Open the door!" Orlan did not answer the officer, but ordered directly.

"Yes, sir." Although it was very strange, the Inhuman officer did not dare to disobey Orlan's order, and immediately asked his men to open the prison door.

Orlan motioned for them to push him down, and he walked into the cell.

The entire cell is pure white and has a lot of space inside...... After all, it's the former king who is being imprisoned, and the place can't be too stingy, right?

However, as soon as Orlan entered the room, he sensed that something was wrong, because the smell of blood filled the room...... And this is obviously very abnormal.

Because the Inhumans are only under house arrest for the Black Bolt King, after all, the Black Bolt King is Maximus's brother, even if he is pushed off the throne, it is impossible to really do anything to him, just put a restraint cloak on him, put a sealing device on his mouth and then imprison him...... After all, Black Bolt's most powerful power is his voice, so his mouth must be sealed.

As for Medusa, who had just been imprisoned, her head was shaved, and then she was put on a hood, and she was also put on board with a restraint suit.

So apart from losing their freedom, the two of them will not be harmed in any way, and naturally there will be no smell of blood.

So where does the smell of blood come from?

Oran's doubts were short-lived, for as she looked and saw a large puddle of scraps of clothes and blood in the corner of the cell...... Although it was very broken, Orlan could tell at a glance that the scraps of clothes should have been on Black Bolt and Medusa...... Doesn't that mean?

Before Orlan could come back to her senses and think about what might have happened here, a drop of slime suddenly dripped onto her forehead, and she instinctively wiped it with her hand, then looked up, even though she instinctively wanted to scream.

However, before she could open her mouth, a sharp object pierced her skull......

Although Oran's awakened ability is to regenerate limbs, her ability is obviously not as strong as that of the little lowly, her brain is pierced, and she dies immediately and can't die anymore, and then her body loses its support, and then she falls to the ground.

Needless to say, the one who can do this is naturally an alien, the one that pierced Orlan's head, and officially a alien tongue.

However, the movement of Orlan falling to the ground still alarmed the guards outside.

Several guards immediately rushed in, and when they saw Orlan on the ground, who did not know whether he was alive or dead, and the alien who was lying on top of her and preparing to do something, they immediately raised their guns and prepared to shoot.

But as soon as the alien head was raised, his mouth opened, and an invisible sonic force erupted, and several guards were directly shattered by the powerful force.
