327. Debate (Fourth Shift)
Goofy opened his mouth to question the Black Bolt King, who was silent.
The behavior of the Atlan Inhumans is tantamount to repaying virtue with resentment.
In the end, it was Jiaying who opened her mouth first.
"Goofy, don't pretend to be a good person, if you hadn't snatched Terrigan from our Inhumans first, how would we have come to you?"
"As for your care for the royal family of the Atlan Inhumans, I'm afraid it's because you're a thief, right?"
Gao Fei smiled coldly, his eyes pressing on Jiaying.
"I'm talking to Black Bolt, do you have the right to interject?"
"You ......" Jia Ying was speechless for a while, but she was not to be outdone, "The Black Bolt King didn't answer you, and I answered you the same." β
"Ahem!" Unexpectedly, at this time, Medusa coughed majestically, and sternly refused Jiaying, "The king of Atlan never likes others to speak for him, Jiaying, you have said enough, it's time to be quiet for a while." β
Jiaying was stunned when she heard this, her expression changed and changed, although she was very unhappy, but she didn't dare to refute.
She still has to rely on Atlan's Inhumans to deal with Goofy, but she can't turn against her alliance first.
"I'm sorry, I was rude...... "Jiaying bowed her head and apologized.
At this time, the Black Bolt King looked at Goofy and nodded slightly.
Medusa immediately translated for him: "Black Bolt expresses his apologies to you......"
Goofy nodded as well.
Black Bolt then gestured gracefully, and Medusa translated every word he spoke.
"Officer Goofy, I know you've helped us, you're a benefactor to our royal family of Atlan, but you should know that the Inhumans of Atlan are in the midst of a great catastrophe......"
"This catastrophe is not only about the survival of Atlan, but also on Earth......"
"As the king of Atlan, I must take on the responsibility of saving my people, but with my current strength, I am not enough to reverse all this......"
"Terrigen in your hands may be our only hope......"
"I know that as a person who has been helped by you, I should not repay the virtue with resentment, and after receiving your favor, I will come to trouble you and take away what you have in your hands; But as the king of Atlan, as the leader of the Inhumans, this is what I must do......"
"There's no doubt that Terrigen is the property of the Inhumans, so no matter what, I have to come and get back what belongs to the Inhumans, which is the dignity of a king and the dignity of the Inhumans......"
"Officer Goofy, as sorry as I'm sorry, I have to get Terrigen back."
The Black Bolt King expressed his opinion firmly.
Goofy and his friends quietly listened to Black Bolt's statement, and they all understood Black Bolt's position.
He's really here for Terrigen, and he's not going to give up until he gets his hands on it.
But out of morality, the Black Bolt King did not sneak attack, did not surprise - he chose to explain the situation to Goofy first, and then negotiate amicably, which shows that things are not without room for turnaround.
Goofy nodded, then spoke calmly.
"I see what you mean, Black Bolt, and I thank you for not rushing into war and not using barbaric means to achieve your goals......"
"I don't deny that Terrigan is the property of the Inhumans, and I know that Terrigan is vital to you Inhumans, but I want to ask, what are you going to do with these Terrigans?"
"Are you planning to use it to mutate more humans into Inhumans and build an army for yourself to reclaim Atlan? So can I understand that you are a forced conscription against your will? β
"There are a lot of humans on Earth with Inhuman blood, but they don't all want to mutate into Inhumans, they have their own peaceful and stable lives, they may not want to be involved in war, do you want to force their lives to change?"
"In addition, as far as I know, the current batch of Terrigen in my hands has a price to mutate - humans with Inhuman blood can indeed mutate through the Terrigen Mist, but humans without Terrigen blood will petrify and die through the Mist......"
"If you use Terrigen sloppily, you're going to kill a lot of humans!"
"Black Bolt, you have the right to take back Terrigan, but I also have the right to refuse to return it, and I won't give it to you until you make clear what you do to Terrigan."
Goofy said toughly.
Black Bolt shook his head and continued to gesticulate.
Medusa translated, "We in Atlan have a technology that allows us to properly handle Terrigen and make it form a mist that will only mutate humans with Inhuman blood into Inhumans, and will not harm ordinary people without Inhuman blood......
"As for Terrigan's use, I do use it to awaken unmutated Inhumans on Earth, but I won't force it, I'll ask them for their opinion beforehand......"
"I've actually had a clear plan, we're going to look for a natural warrior with Inhuman blood, ask him if he's willing to fight for his people, and if they do, I'll use Terrigan to convert him to build an elite team of Inhumans for myself......"
"When the team is formed, I will take them to take back Atlan, and then these Inhumans will live with me in Atlan, and will not return to Earth......"
"Actually, I intend to bring all the Inhumans on Earth to Atlan and let them live in AtlΓ‘n, after all, the stories of our ancestors tell us that Inhumans and humans cannot coexist......"
Black Bolt said.
Goofy listened to Black Bolt's account and didn't rush to respond.
The Black Bolt King was a little impatient, and insisted on demanding, "Please return Terrigan to us." β
Gao Fei shook his head: "I don't have the final say on this matter alone, I need to discuss it with my friends." β
With that, Goofy turned to look at Tony Stark, the Fantastic Four, and Steve Rogers, and asked, "Everyone heard about Black Bolt's plan, what do you think?" β
Tony Stark shrugged: "It's not a plan, it's an idea at best...... What kind of Inhuman warband to form and mutate people on Earth into Inhumans, and then bring them to the moon or something...... It's a bit of, I don't agree! β
Susan Storm agreed: "If Black Bolt can really respect the wishes of the Inhumans, and Terrigan's mutation won't hurt ordinary people, then I don't think his idea is impossible." β
Johnny and his sister were quite on the same page: "I also think Black Bolt King's plan is acceptable - Boss, you might as well look at this issue from a different angle, Terrigan means that whether Inhumans can awaken their abilities is the key to their transformation from ordinary people to superpowers, and these ordinary people with Inhuman blood are qualified to decide their own fate, they are qualified to decide whether they will continue to be mediocre or mutate into Inhumans!" β
Johnny's idea was supported by Steve, who nodded, "That's right, the Inhumans on Earth have the right to know their identity, and they have the right to decide their own future fate. β
But the "stone man" shook his head and denied: "In this way, the world will be in chaos, how can you guarantee that people with ulterior motives use their alien identity and abilities to do bad things?" β
Johnny retorted, "But you can't kill them from having supernatural abilities just because of that!" Abilities are in their genes, they're born with them! β
"Oh, it's this clichΓ© again...... "Tony Stark pinched his head, "what human rights, what freedoms...... You only know how to ask for it, you only know how to keep fighting for your own benefits, but have you ever thought about it, what will be the consequences? β
With that, Tony looked at Reed, "Hey, Reed, aren't you very wise?" What do you think about this? β
Reed, who has always been radical, has been very conservative in this matter.
"I agree with Tony that a large number of Inhuman awakenings are never a good thing for Earth, on the contrary, it could become a catastrophe that threatens human civilization......"
It's not surprising that Reed said this, and sealing Terry was a unanimous decision made by the Illuminati triumvirate.
"Hey, Reed, I'm so disappointed by what you're saying." Johnny reluctantly said, "Don't forget what a great thing we had when we got the ability!" I think more people have the right to enjoy this kind of life. β
"But don't forget the people in Raven Craft's prison, the guys who did the wrong thing after getting the ability, and the poor people who regretted not controlling their abilities well......"
Reed said in a deep voice,
"If you don't believe me, go ask Dr. Banner if he's willing to be an ordinary genius scientist for the rest of his life, or would he be the big guy who is tearing his clothes at every turn?"
"That's because he doesn't have a choice! But Terrigen has a choice! Johnny said, "The Black Bolt King will ask them for their opinion beforehand. β
"Do you have a choice for mutations and a choice for abilities?" Reed retorted, "Can an Inhuman predict his abilities before mutating?" β
"This ......" Johnny was speechless, and Susan was silent.
At this time, Skye walked over and patted Johnny on the shoulder, shook his head, and said, "I'm from here, can you tell me what I think?" β
Johnny nodded slightly, and Reed listened attentively.
"My mutation wasn't painful, and I was happy with the ability I gained, but after I just mutated, my ability almost caused a magnitude 8 earthquake in Puerto Rico......"
"But luckily, I was surrounded by Officer Goofy, and he managed to stop me and prevent the disaster from happening......"
"After that, Officer Goofy took me to an island and patiently trained me for a week, and for the first two days of this week, I made earthquakes on the island every day......"
"There were a lot of huts on the island, and a few mountains collapsed, but thanks to the guidance of Officer Goofy, I was able to limit the damage to a minimum......
"I can't imagine what would have happened if Mr. Stark hadn't provided this isolated island and had left me in a densely populated city......"
"I was lucky to have been protected by Officer Goofy, I didn't cause irreparable damage, and I was even able to come to New York to become a Super Cop."
"But I want to ask, there are so many Terrigans here, so many potential Inhumans in the world, but how many High Flying Officers do we have? How many Inhumans can be carefully cared for when they mutate? β
"The Black Bolt King wants to form a team and recapture Atlan, which is doomed to him not to wait too long, he will not slowly cultivate new mutated Inhumans one by one......"
"When the time comes, once a large number of Inhumans awaken, and then try to make a temporary remedy, it will be too late......
