Chapter 393: Textbook Coup (4000 Words)
How to overthrow a society in which individuals have extraordinary abilities, Maximus staged a textbook coup d'état for Rorschach.
First of all, Maximus did not know how to use to be able to connect with the earth across the universe. Rorschach could tell that this was not a technological creation, but the special abilities of some Inhumans.
The entire Inhuman city seems to be built on various abilities, and once something goes wrong with the Inhumans involved in related abilities, I'm afraid it will be a disaster. However, it can also be seen from this that the self-regulation of the ecological chain of the Inhumans is so precise that the Inhumans have lived on the moon for so long without becoming a real island.
Soon, the Inhuman city on the moon received a message for help.
An Inhuman named Tritan is asking for help from the Black Bolt King, saying that he has encountered an ambush on Earth and is about to be in danger of his life.
Inhumans live on the moon, but it's a desolate place, and superpowers can't conjure food or fresh water here. As a result, the Inhumans have been sending people to the surface of Earth to collect the supplies they need.
Tritan is the cousin of the Black Bolt King, who is quite familiar with the Earth and is one of the Inhumans who often travel between the two places.
Those who ambushed Tritan were naturally arranged by Maximus. This one had developed his power on Earth a long time ago. Although the passage between the two places is in the hands of the Black Bolt King, Maximus also stretches out his tentacles little by little.
While the Inhumans also used Earth as a supermarket where they could get supplies, Maximus had already used the Inhumans' abilities to organize a "dynamic social organization" on Earth.
Perhaps, this organization is far from being comparable to a world-class terrorist organization like the Ten Rings, and it is not even as good as the global co-investment company that Rorschach encountered before, but it is also enough to mobilize a lot of manpower and be fully armed.
Not all of the Inhumans have super combat power, and Tritan is the cousin of the Black Bolt King, but his ability is only to be able to breathe underwater, and he has a special ability similar to that of a fish-man.
But his combat effectiveness is not much stronger than that of ordinary people, so being surrounded by a dozen or so soldiers with loaded guns is definitely a dead end.
Cui Tan's call for help, the Black Bolt King naturally did not dare to sit idly by, so he immediately let his most powerful escort go to the earth, and be sure to save Cui Tan. This is the same Inhuman Goerko who had bitten off a foot by Rorschach's metal life in the duel, but after such a long time, with the help of the Inhumans with healing powers, his mutated hooves have grown again.
Gorgong is also the leader of the Inhuman royal guard, overseeing the military power of the entire Inhuman city.
Gorgon's journey to Earth was accompanied by several of his henchmen. And in this way, the rest of the royal guards have all become Maximus's people.
Armed with absolute power, Maximus immediately began a coup d'état, capturing several powerful Inhumans loyal to Black Bolt. Such a long time of lurking has long made Maximus understand the weakness of their abilities.
For example, Karnak, who has a short-term prediction of the future, Maximus's way of dealing with it is super simple, and he directly asks people to seal the room he is in.
Both the windows and doors were instantly closed with a special and sturdy material, locking the Carneke inside. If someone is sent to do it directly, Karnek's ability will definitely cause him a lot of trouble, and it is even possible to directly defeat the people who were platoon by Maximus.
After all, you're dealing with an Inhuman who can accurately calculate your every move, from the time you appear in front of him to the time you aim and pull the trigger. Avoiding in advance and counterattacking in defense has always been Carneke's forte.
But now that Maximus has directly sealed all the doors and windows, no matter how much his ability is activated, he will not find a way out.
The rest of the people are also concocted in the same way, just like Medusa, the wife of the Black Bolt King, with a handful of hair and tentacles, and their combat effectiveness is also quite strong. But Maximus directly asked people to bring large scissors, and a few clicks wasted her effort.
If it weren't for the sake of keeping a hostage to control the Black Bolt King, he could just shoot him indiscriminately.
Maximus, who had been prepared for a long time, cleaned up the entire Inhuman race in an instant, and then quickly replaced it with his own people. Pacify the people, reduce losses, isolate those who may cause trouble, and ensure that they can't do things together.
In just a few hours, the little possible turmoil that had just been generated was dissolved and made invisible by Maximus's skilful means. As long as Black Bolt and his cronies don't show up, Maximus will be able to sit firmly in the position of Inhuman Emperor.
The whole process was like flowing water, and I don't know how many times he had rehearsed it in his head.
But Maximus is not at ease, because in the entire city, in fact, the most dangerous has always been the Black Bolt King, a terrifying alien who can destroy everything as long as he speaks.
It was also because of the strength of this brother that Maximus was prepared for a long time and did not dare to make a move. This near-incomprehensible ability, if he has no way to restrain it, the so-called coup is a joke.
With just one breath, Maximus will turn into a mass of flesh slapping against the wall, shattering even the bones. It's like what Black Bolt King has just awakened his abilities and done to his parents.
Maximus knew very well that the power of the Emperor Shakti, the last time he was able to defeat the Black Bolt King, he would definitely win this time.
It's just that this so-called ability to win, is it a complete victory or a narrow victory? The results can be very different.
The battle of the two powerhouses, a little leak, can destroy the entire city.
But Maximus knew he had no choice, it would be too difficult to find someone in the world who could compete with the Black Bolt, so when Shakti appeared, he immediately decided to take a gamble.
Maximus waited anxiously for news from Black Bolt, wondering if he would send someone to help. For example, he crushed Medusa, the wife of Black Bolt, and used hostages to coerce him into surrendering.
Various methods went through Maximus's mind several times, but as long as there was a lost accident, the Black Bolt King had a mouth, he would definitely die.
Just as he was struggling in his heart, he saw the Emperor Shakti with a frost grimace appear in front of him, and the Black Bolt King, who had shocked the entire Inhumans for many years and made him never dare to act rashly, was being dragged to Maximus by Shakti like a dead dog.
"This ...... How...... Possible? "Maximus thought about the moment of his victory, but he never imagined that it would be so peaceful.
In fact, the two of them had opened up, and Maximus had prepared for the worst of the city's destruction. However, everything was calm, and he didn't even hear any slight tremors.
"What's the matter, don't I tell you how to restrain him, right?" Rorschach asked.
"No, no, I've been prepared." Maximus hurriedly had a special mask firmly locked on Black Bolt's face. This mask can make his mouth absolutely unable to open even a little, and the ability will naturally not be released.
"Remember what I told you, give you three days to prepare, and I'll come and ask for someone when the time comes." After Rorschach finished speaking, he didn't bother to watch this family ethics drama again, and returned to Earth directly through the Chaos Core.
Maximus looked at the Black Bolt King, his shadow for many years was now tied up, and he didn't have the slightest ability to resist. How terrifying the Black Bolt King is, this Emperor Shakti will have to be multiplied by another tenfold.
Maximus secretly reminded himself that he must not be an enemy of this man.
Rorschach didn't care about his own record, Black Bolt King's sonic ability was indeed very powerful, and he could open his mouth to blow away the entire thunderstorm he created. This is definitely a city-destroying power, which can be called a humanoid nuclear bomb.
However, an Inhuman with only a single ability, no matter how powerful he is, will not be Rorschach's opponent. In particular, Black Bolt seems to be haunted by the fact that he accidentally killed his parents when he was young, so his heart is actually less fragile than ordinary people.
Rorschach only used his mind control powers, and before he could see his face, he caused the Black Bolt King to lose consciousness. A simple illusion made him indulge in the tragic memories of the year, and completely lost his sense of the outside world.
With little to no effect, Rorschach dealt with the Inhuman powerhouse.
Although Rorschach has always cautioned himself not to rely too much on these superpowers, the technical power of the Tinder Source is what can really be relied on. But he plays the role of Shakti, and he can only continue to focus on superpowers. Otherwise, with Rorschach's poor acting skills, it is easy to be revealed.
Three days later, Rorschach successfully sent thousands of Inhuman boys and girls to Jotunheim. Not only that, but Rorschach even found all the unawakened Inhumans on Earth, hoping to increase the chances of success.
Although some of them are not very accustomed to this icy and snowy world, staying in Asgard's magic circle has not been affected much.
As for why the awakening ritual was performed in this place, that was not a question they needed to ask. The feudal hierarchy that the Inhumans have always practiced makes it clear to them that they should not ask questions that they should not ask, and they are not qualified to ask them.
As for the Inhumans who were born and raised on Earth, they were more interested in their kind, focusing on asking about the lunar world, not knowing that they were in a world other than Earth.
Terrigen Crystals for Inhuman Awakening have also been delivered, ready for the Awakening Ritual.
"Belcher, don't you need to find the hive first, and then awaken directly near him?" Rorschach asked.
After all, the self-regulating function of this biosphere of the Inhumans is also limited by distance. Just as the Inhumans on the Earth have their own system, the Inhumans on the Moon have little impact on the Inhumans on the Earth.
If the distance is too far, it is not known if this self-regulating system will leave the hive out of the statistics.
"Theoretically, of course, the closer the better, but if we want to find the hive, I'm afraid it's not easy." Belcher said.
The hive has an ontology, although he can be resurrected again if he only needs to leave a few bugs behind. But for the most part, the hive is still accustomed to controlling the human body and survives.
This is probably because he is human himself, which is an innate habit.
It's just that Jotunheim is too big, and there are all kinds of glacial polar regions everywhere, and the terrain of the plateau valleys abounds, and there is even a very large underground world. It's not easy to find the Frost Giant, let alone find a hive that hides itself.
I was thinking about whether to lure the snake out of the hole and lure the hive out, but I heard Belcher stammer: "Your Excellency, Commander, Luo ...... Miss Lorna......"
"What's wrong with Rhona?" Rorschach asked, frowning.
Without Belcher's answer, Rorschach directly contacted Garuru with the source of the fire, he had been by Rhona's side, and he should have reported any accidents.
As a result, Rorschach couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Because, as a result of the transmission of the fire source, Garuru is not far away.
You know, this is in Jotunheim. Didn't Rhona play with Danny Rand on Earth? How could you run to such a dangerous place!
When I think of the existence of monsters like beehives in this world, I can even parasitize insects into the human body. Rorschach was in a panic and instantly appeared outside the magic array.
In the icy and snowy environment, Rorschach clearly saw a huge mechanical giant wolf running towards him.
"Your Excellency!" Garuru shouted loudly, seemingly emotionally agitated.
Rorschach didn't have time to respond to his men's call, so he jumped on Garuru's back and saw his precious daughter sitting on the steel wolf with a group of people.
After seeing Rorschach, Rhona shouted in a tone that sweetness can make people get diabetes: "Dad, Cortana misses you." ”
With just one sentence, all Rorschach's words of reproach were blocked.
My daughter is only a few months old, and she already knows how to call her father, what else do you want? Such a lovely daughter, how can she scold, and how can she be willing to scold?
Rorschach took Lorna in his arms and used the effect of the tactical eyepiece to thoroughly scan Lori several times. After confirming that he was not parasitized by the hive's bugs, Rorschach let out a sigh of relief and asked, "How did you get to this place?" It's dangerous here! ”
After saying this, Rorschach had time to glance at the others on the back of the giant wolf.
With a glance, Rorschach recognized two.
One is Danny Rand, and the other is his old friend, Daredevil Matt Murdoch. As for the other man and woman, Rorschach didn't know him.
"Matt, what the hell is going on?" Rorschach couldn't help but ask curiously.
Although blind, Matt's hearing ability is extremely developed, and even in the wind howling, he can still hear Rorschach's voice clearly.
The old friend, who is a lawyer by day and a superhero by night, said helplessly: "You may not believe it when you say it, we were tricked to this place by your daughter." ”
"Liar?"
Rorschach looked at her daughter, and Rhona stuck out her little tongue mischievously, so cute that Rorschach couldn't even put on a serious expression.
Little Lori was also well-behaved, and knew that she was in trouble, so she said to Rorschach, "Dad, I'm asking them to help you." Look at what I've brought you? ”
Lorna pointed to a tightly wrapped package next to her.
Rorschach curiously walked over and opened it, and was speechless in shock.
