Chapter 163: The Battle for the Throne!
"I want the throne!"
Eric Kelmengo's words made everyone present laugh, how can you covet the supreme king of Wakanda, an outsider of unknown origin!
"Joke! What qualifications do you have to claim the throne! ”
"Who do you think you are?"
But what happened next slapped them in the face.
In front of everyone, Eric Cummongo directly revealed his true identity.
"I'm Ni Jadaka!"
"Prince Nichob's son!"
"My father was scratched in the chest by a leopard's claw!"
"You're not a king! You're a murderer! ”
Eric Kermungo stared at the dramatically changed King T'Chaka on the throne and said in a loud voice!
"What?"
"He's Prince Nichob's son?"
The elders were shocked when they heard this, and they couldn't help but stand up and exclaim.
Prince Nichob has been missing for decades, but he didn't expect someone to claim to be his son, and the most amazing thing is that he actually said that Prince Nichob died at the hands of the black panther, if what he said is true, then that is, King Techaka killed his younger brother, Prince Nichob!
"You're lying!"
The queen, who was sitting next to T'Chaca, stood up and rebuked in a loud voice.
"I'm afraid he's not lying, Queen."
The Frontier Tribal General Wakabi, who had brought Eric Kermungo, said suddenly, and while all eyes were on him, Wakabi pulled out a necklace with a special ring in it.
The people present are all high-level Wakanda, and they are naturally familiar with this ring, this is a prince ring that only male members of the Wakanda royal family are qualified to wear, and it is forged in a way unique to Wakanda with vibranium, and it is impossible to imitate it, so the identity of Eric Kermango can already be determined.
"He really is a descendant of Prince Nichob!"
Seeing that his identity had been recognized, Eric Kermungo directly questioned King T'Chaka why he had killed his own brothers and abandoned them, and until now, he himself had to go through a lot of hardships to kill the sinners who attacked Wakanda and return to his homeland.
"Thirty years, as the king of Wakanda, the guardian of the Black Panther, you have achieved nothing, you are cowardly and incompetent!"
"Killing your siblings, abandoning your relatives, being unkind, what qualifications do you have to continue to occupy the throne of king?"
"Today, I, Ni Jadaka, son of Prince Nichob, exercise my rightful right to challenge you for the throne of King and Black Panther!"
T'Chaka was uncovered with the most unwanted and secret past in his heart, the regret of killing his brother, and the guilt of abandoning his loved ones came back to his heart.
After decades of suppression, this emotion broke out again, but it became extremely strong, and T'Chaca's whole person became a little lost, and in the face of Eric Kermango's angry questioning, T'Chaka did not even dare to look him in the eye.
The lie that has been maintained for decades has finally been exposed.
After a long time, T'Chaka slowly raised his head and looked at Eric Kermango's voice in a low voice.
"You're right."
"I am indeed not qualified to continue to lead and protect Wakanda."
"I've decided to abdicate the throne!"
T'Chaca's words surprised everyone.
"T'Chaca!"
"Daddy!"
The queen and the princess and princess had not yet recovered from the shock of learning that T'Chaka had killed his brother and left his nephew alone, and they were caught off guard by T'Chaca's move to give up the throne, and the elders and generals also looked at each other, and they were a little overwhelmed for a while.
Just when everyone was panicking about this sudden change, Wakabi, the general of the border tribe, suddenly spoke.
"Now that King T'Chaka has abdicated the throne, then Prince Nichob's son, Ni Jadaka, will be our new king!"
Wakabi's parents were killed by a bomb he detonated at the border when Ulysses Crowe infiltrated Wakanda, successfully stole vibranium and evacuated, so he hated Ulysses Crowe more than anyone else.
It's just that for decades, T'Chaca, as king and panther, has been hunting down Ulysses Crow, but has never actually caught him, and he has long been disappointed in T'Chaca, and his resentment against him is as strong as his hatred for Ulysses Crow.
The appearance of Eric Kermungo at this time undoubtedly brought him a great surprise, this son of Prince Nichob, who had been abandoned by King T'Chaca, actually killed Ulysses Crowe and avenged him.
Coupled with his disappointment and dissatisfaction with T'Chaca, as well as Eric Kermengo's royal bloodline, and the strong strength and resolute style he showed, he did not hesitate to choose to support Eric Kermengo as the new king.
As a warrior, he was tired of the life of T'Chaca, and he longed to fight, to get Wakanda out of hiding, to show the world how powerful Wakanda was!
He could see that Eric Cummongo was a true warrior like him.
He believed that Eric Kermangobit Chaka was well suited to become the king of Wakanda, and that he would be able to better protect Wakanda and lead it to become stronger.
General Wakabi's words brought the elders back to their senses from shock and bewilderment, and they looked at the dejected T'Chaka, and then at Eric Cumungo, whose face was full of heroic spirit, and several elders couldn't help but nod their heads.
The eldest Shang Tribe elder spoke.
"Since King T'Chaka automatically abdicated the throne, the throne will be inherited by the challenger, Ni Jadaka."
"From now on......"
"Wait!"
The young prince standing beside T'Chaka saw that the situation had suddenly changed so amazingly, and his father actually took the initiative to give up the throne, and he couldn't help but be shocked, seeing that the elders had already begun to admit that this man who suddenly appeared became the king, the shocked T'Challa hurriedly stopped him.
"I am the prince of the kingdom of Wakanda, and I also have the right to inherit the throne!"
Several elders looked at each other when they heard this, and the elders of the Shangjia tribe thought for a moment and spoke.
"Prince Ni Jadaka challenged King T'Chaka, and T'Chaka voluntarily gave up, which is tantamount to giving up the throne to Prince Nye Jadaka."
"So at this time, Ni Jadaka is our king."
T'Challa's face changed dramatically when he heard this, and he was about to speak, but he heard the elder continue.
"Prince T'Challa, if you want to fight for the throne, you can challenge it in the waterfall duel of the enthronement ceremony."
Before T'Challa could speak, Eric Kermungo, who had been unhandcuffed by the general, took two steps forward, looked down at T'Challa and said in a deep voice.
"Very well, let's follow the tradition, speak with strength, the one who wins the duel will be the king of Wakanda, the real Black Panther!"
The eyes of the two collided in the air, as if countless fierce sparks burst out.
……
A week later, in the middle of the majestic and ancient waterfall, in a knee-deep pool with the back of the cliff face and the abyss, the enthronement ceremony of the King of Wakanda was taking place.
Behind the pool, on top of the steep cliffs, stood the tribesmen of Wakanda, all dressed in the grandest tribal costumes.
For thousands of years, the enthronement ceremony of the king of Wakanda has been held here, and the content of the ceremony has never changed, and the king will be challenged by the five tribes and other members of the royal family who want to compete for the throne in the pool, and only after victory can he actually ascend the throne, which is their tradition for thousands of years.
The High Priest Zuli walked up to T'Challa, who was kneeling in the pool, with a bowl of potions, and was about to give it to him, when Eric Kermango spoke.
"What is this?"
In the face of the "king's" inquiry, Zu Li made an explanation.
According to tradition, the kings of Wakanda, who were also the black panthers who guarded the kingdom, took heart-shaped herbs to strengthen their bodies and make them far more powerful than ordinary people.
In order to maintain the fairness of the duel, the Black Panther needs to drink the potion of the powerful power of the heart-shaped herb when accepting the challenge of others, so as to ensure the fairness of the strength of both sides of the duel.
Eric Cumungo had not taken the heart-shaped herb, so naturally he did not need to be relieved.
But at this time, T'Challa had already taken the heart-shaped herb and became the new black panther.
As T'Chaka grew older, he handed over the responsibility of the panther to his only son, T'Challa, the apparent heir to the kingdom.
It's just that T'Challa has been a Black Panther for several years, but he still hasn't caught Ulysses Crow, which is considered to be nothing, which is why the general is completely disappointed in their father and son, and switched to Eric Kermango.
T'Challa took the Heart-shaped Herb and gained the power bestowed by the Leopard God, so for the sake of fairness, T'Challa should drink the potion that dissolves the Heart-shaped Herb's ability before the duel.
But Eric Cummongo shook his head and said haughtily.
"No need!"
"Let him use his strongest strength to duel with me, and I want you to know that I am the strongest patron saint of Wakanda, the real Black Panther!"
Seeing Eric Kermungo's tough attitude, although it was against tradition, Zu Li still had to obey his orders and handed the potion to his subordinates behind him.
This seems very unfair, it seems that T'Challa has taken a big advantage, but except for Chen Mo, no one present knows that Eric Kermungo has been strengthened by the enhanced super soldier serum, and his strength is five times that of ordinary people.
According to Chen Mo's speculation, judging from the battle between Captain America and Black Panther in the movie, the strength of the two is basically the same, and the effect of the heart-shaped herb should be similar to that of the original Super Soldier Serum, which can improve the quality of people to about four times that of ordinary humans.
In other words, even if T'Challa had taken the heart-shaped herb, he would not be a match for Eric Kermungo.
Of course, the Wakanda people present did not know this.
