Chapter 163 The Battle for the Throne!
"I want the throne!"
Eric Kelmonger's words made everyone present laughed, how could you, an outsider of unknown origin, covet the throne of Wakanda's supreme king!
"Joke! What qualifications do you have to claim the throne!"
"who do you think You Are?"
But what happened next hit them hard in the face.
In front of everyone, Eric Killmonger directly stated his true identity.
"I'm Ni Jadhaka!"
"Son of Prince Nijob!"
"My father was scratched by a leopard claw on his chest!"
"You are not a king! You are a murderer!"
Eric Killmonger stared at King T'Chaka, whose color changed greatly on the throne, and said loudly!
"what?"
"He's Prince Nijob's son?"
The elders were shocked when they heard the words, and could not help but stand up and exclaimed.
Prince Nichob has been missing for decades, but he didn't expect the visitor to claim to be his son. The most amazing thing is that he actually said that Prince Nichob died in the hands of the black panther. If what he said was true, then That is, King T'Chaka killed his younger brother, Prince Nijob!
"you're lying!"
The queen sitting next to T'Chaka stood up and rebuked loudly.
"I'm afraid he's not lying, queen."
Wakabi, the frontier tribe general who brought Eric Kelmongo, suddenly said that when everyone's eyes were looking at him, Wakabi took out a necklace, and the necklace was wearing a shape special ring.
All the senior members of Wakanda are present, and they are naturally familiar with this ring. This is the prince's ring that only male members of the Wakanda royal family are qualified to wear. It is impossible to imitate at all, so the identity of Eric Kelmonger can already be determined.
"He's really a descendant of Prince Nijob!"
Seeing that his identity has been recognized by everyone, Eric Kermongo directly questioned King T'Chaka why he killed his own brothers and abandoned them. Kill the criminal who attacked Wakanda and return home.
"Thirty years, as the king of Wakanda, the guardian of the Panther, you have no achievements, you are weak and incompetent!"
"Crippled, abandoned relatives, no benevolence and no virtue, what qualifications do you have to continue to occupy the throne of the king?"
"Today, I, Ni Jadaka, son of Prince Nichob, exercise my right to challenge you for the throne of King and Black Panther!"
T'Chaka was revealed to be the most reluctant to mention, the most secret past, the regret of killing his brother, and the guilt of abandoning his relatives came to his heart again.
After decades of repression, this emotion burst out again, but it became extremely strong. Tchaka became a little lost. Facing Eric Kermonger's angry questioning, Tchaka Ka didn't even dare to look him in the eye.
The lie that has been maintained for decades is finally exposed.
After a long time, Tchaka slowly raised his head and looked at Eric Kelmonger in a low voice.
"you're right."
"I am indeed not qualified to continue to lead and protect Wakanda."
"I decided to give up the throne!"
T'Chaka's words shocked everyone.
"Tchaka!"
"dad!"
The queen and the prince and princess changed their faces when they heard his words. They had not recovered from the shock of learning that T'Chaka killed his brother and left his nephew alone. They were caught off guard by T'Chaka's move to give up the throne. The elders and generals also looked at each other in dismay, feeling a little overwhelmed for a while.
Just when everyone panicked about this sudden change, the general of the border tribe, Wakabi, suddenly said.
"Now that King T'Chaka has relinquished the throne, then Prince Nijob's son, Ni Jadhaka, will be our new king!"
Wakabi's parents were killed by the bomb he detonated at the border when Ulysses Crow sneaked into Wakanda and successfully stole the vibranium and then evacuated. Hate is stronger than anyone.
It's just that for decades, T'Chaka, the king and the black panther, has been hunting down Ulysses Crow, but he has never really caught him. He has long been disappointed with T'Chaka, and his The resentment, like the hatred of Ulysses Crowe, was growing stronger.
At this time, the appearance of Eric Killmonger undoubtedly brought him a huge surprise. The son of Prince Nijob, who was abandoned by King Tchaka, actually killed Ulysses Crowe. avenged him.
He is very grateful to Eric Killmonger for his revenge, coupled with his disappointment and dissatisfaction with Tchaka, as well as the identity of Eric Killmonger's royal blood, and his performance. His strong strength and resolute behavior made him choose to support Eric Kelmongo as the new king without hesitation.
As a warrior, he has long been tired of the self-styled life under the rule of Tchaka. He is eager to fight, eager to let Wakanda come out of hiding and tell the world that Wakanda is powerful!
He could see that Eric Killmonger, like him, was a true warrior.
He believes that Eric Kermangobit Chaka is very suitable to become the king of Wakanda, and he will be able to better protect Wakanda and lead Wakanda to become stronger.
General Wakabi's words made the elders recover from their shock and bewilderment. They looked at the lost Tchaka, and then looked at the heroic Eric Kelmongo. Glancing at him, he nodded involuntarily.
The eldest merchant tribe elder said.
"Since King T'Chaka has voluntarily renounced the throne, the throne will be succeeded by the challenger, Ni Jadhaka."
"From now on……"
"and many more!"
The young prince standing beside Tchaka saw such an astonishing change in the situation. His father took the initiative to hand over the throne. T'Challa hurriedly stopped.
"I am the prince of the kingdom of Wakanda, and I have the right to inherit the throne!"
Several elders looked at each other in dismay after hearing the words, and the merchant tribe elder thought for a while and said.
"Prince Ni Jadhaka challenged King Tchaka, and Tchaka gave up voluntarily, which was equivalent to giving up the throne to Prince Ni Jadhaka."
"So at this time, Ni Jadhaka is our king."
T'Challa's face changed greatly when he heard the words, and he was about to speak, but he heard the elder continue to speak.
"Prince T'Challa, if you want to fight for the throne, you can challenge in the waterfall duel at the enthronement ceremony."
Before T'Challa had time to speak, Eric Kelmongo, who had been handcuffed by the general, stepped forward two steps, looked down at T'Challa and said in a deep voice.
"Very well, let's follow the tradition and speak with strength. The person who wins the duel will become the king of Wakanda, the real black panther!"
The eyes of the two collided in the air, as if there were countless intense sparks splashing out.
...
A week later, in the middle of the majestic and ancient waterfall, a pool with its back against the cliff and the abyss in front of the knee-deep water, the enthronement ceremony of the King of Wakanda is being held here.
On the towering and steep cliffs behind the pool, there are people from various tribes in Wakanda, all dressed in the most grand 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. The king will accept the challenge of the five tribes and other royal family members who want to compete for the throne in the pool, and win. Only then can they truly ascend to the throne, which is their unchanging tradition for thousands of years.
High Priest Zu Li walked to T'Challa who was kneeling in the pool with a bowl of potion and was about to take it for him when Eric Kelmongo spoke up.
"what is this?"
In the face of the "king" inquiries, Zu Li explained.
According to tradition, the kings of Wakanda were also the panthers who guarded the kingdom. They took heart-shaped herbs, which strengthened their bodies and made them stronger than ordinary people.
In order to maintain the fairness of the duel, when accepting the challenge of others, the black panther needs to drink the potion that relieves the powerful ability brought by the heart-shaped herbs to ensure the fairness of the strength of both sides of the duel.
Eric Killmonger has never taken heart-shaped herbs, so naturally he doesn't need to remove it.
But at this time, T'Challa had already taken the heart-shaped herbs and became a new black panther.
After T'Challa grew older these years, he handed over the responsibility of the Black Panther to his only son, T'Challa, who was also the only heir apparent to the kingdom.
It's just that T'Challa has been a Black Panther for several years, but he still hasn't caught Ulysses Crowe. It's considered nothing. This is also the general's complete disappointment with their father and son, and turned to Eric Kerr. Mungo's reason.
T'Challa took the heart-shaped herb and obtained the power bestowed by the Leopard God, so for the sake of fairness, T'Challa should drink the potion to relieve the heart-shaped herb's ability before the duel.
But Eric Kermonger shook his head and said proudly.
"No need!"
"Let him fight me with the strongest strength. I want you to know that I am the strongest patron saint of Wakanda, the real black panther!"
Seeing Eric Kelmonger's tough attitude, although it was against tradition, Zu Li had to obey his orders and handed the potion to the men behind him.
This seems very unfair. It seems that T'Challa has taken a lot of advantage, but except Chen Mo, no one else knows that Eric Kelmongo has received the strengthening of the Enhanced Soldier Serum, and his strength is ordinary enough. five times as many 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. The effect of the heart-shaped herb should be similar to that of the original soldier serum, which can improve the quality of people to ordinary about four times that of humans.
That is to say, even if T'Challa takes the heart-shaped herb, it is not Eric Kelmongo's opponent.
Of course, the Wakanda people present did not know this.
