"I want the throne!"
Erik Kermango's words made everyone laugh. The supreme throne of Wakanda was not something that an outsider of unknown origin could covet!
"What a joke! What right do you have to ask for the throne? "
"Who do you think you are?"
However, what happened next was a slap to their faces.
In front of everyone, Eric Kermango directly revealed his true identity.
"I am Ni Jadaka!"
"The son of Prince Nichob!"
"My father's chest was scratched by a panther's claw!"
"You are not the king! You are a murderer! "
Eric Kermango stared at King T 'Chaka, whose expression had changed greatly, and said loudly.
"What?"
"He is the son of Prince Nichob?"
The elders were shocked when they heard this and couldn't help but stand up and exclaim.
Prince Nichob had been missing for decades. They didn't expect this person to claim to be his son. The most shocking thing was that he actually said that Prince Nichob was killed by a black panther. If what he said was true, then King T 'Chaka had killed his brother, Prince Nichob!
"You are lying!"
The queen who was sitting beside T 'Chaka stood up and reprimanded loudly.
"I'm afraid he is not lying, my queen."
The border tribe's general, Wakabi, who had brought Eric Kermango here, suddenly said. When everyone's eyes were on him, Wakabi took out a necklace, and in the middle of the necklace was a ring with a special design.
Everyone present were the upper echelons of Wakanda, so they were naturally familiar with this ring. This was a prince's ring that only the male members of the Wakanda royal family had the right to wear. It was forged with vibranium using a unique method of Wakanda and was impossible to counterfeit. Therefore, Eric Kermango's identity could be confirmed.
"He is really the descendant of Prince Nichob!"
Seeing that his identity had been recognized by everyone, Eric Kermango directly questioned King T 'Chaka as to why he had killed his own brothers and abandoned them outside. Until now, he had gone through untold hardships to get rid of the sinners who had attacked Wakanda and returned home.
"Thirty years, as the king of Wakanda, the guardian of the black panther, you have no achievements, cowardly and incompetent!"
"Killing your own brothers and abandoning your loved ones. You are inhumane and immoral. What right do you have to continue occupying the throne?"
"Today, I, Ni Jadaka, son of Prince Nijob, exercise my right to challenge you for the throne of King and Black Panther!"
T Chaka's most secret past, which he was most unwilling to mention, was exposed. The regret of killing his brother and abandoning his family once again surged into his mind.
After a few decades of suppression, these emotions erupted once again, but this time it was incomparably intense. Techak seemed to have lost his soul. Faced with Eric Kermango's furious questioning, Techak didn't even dare to look him in the eye.
The lie that had been maintained for decades was finally exposed.
After a long while, Techak slowly raised his head, looking at Eric Kermango and said in a low voice.
"You're right."
"Indeed, I have no right to continue leading and protecting Wakanda."
"I've decided to give up the throne!"
T Chaka's words shocked everyone.
"Te Chaka!"
"Father!"
The queen, princes, and princesses' expressions changed drastically when they heard his words. They had yet to recover from the shock of learning that T Chaka had killed his brother and abandoned his nephew. Now, they were caught off guard by T Chaka's abdication of the throne. The group of elders and generals also looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Just as everyone was panicking over this sudden turn of events, the border tribe's general, Wakabi, suddenly spoke.
"Since King T Chaka has given up the throne, then Prince Nijob's son, Ni Jadaka, will be our new king!"
Wakabi's parents had been killed by the bomb that Ulysses Crowe detonated at the border when he sneaked into Wakanda and successfully stole the vibranium. Therefore, his hatred for Ulysses Crowe was more intense than anyone else.
However, although T'Chaka, as a king and a black panther, had been chasing after Ulysses Crow for decades, he had never been able to capture him. He had long been thoroughly disappointed in T'Chaka. His dissatisfaction with T'Chaka and his hatred for Ulysses Crow grew stronger and stronger.
Erik Kermango's appearance had undoubtedly brought him a huge surprise. The son of Prince Nichob, who had been abandoned by King T 'Chaka, had actually killed Ulysses Crowe and avenged him.
Now that he had gotten his revenge, he was extremely grateful to Eric Kermango. In addition, he was disappointed and dissatisfied with T 'Chaka, as well as Eric Kermango's identity as a member of the royal bloodline, the powerful strength he displayed, and Lei Li's resolute way of doing things made him choose to support Eric Kermango to become the new king without any hesitation.
As a warrior, he had long been tired of the conservative life under T Chaka's rule. He longed for battle, longed for Wakanda to come out of hiding and tell the world of Wakanda's strength!
He could see that Erik Kermango was a true warrior, just like him.
He believed that Eric Kermango was very suitable for T Chaka to become the king of Wakanda. He would definitely be able to better protect Wakanda and lead it to become even stronger.
General Wakabi's words caused the elders to recover from their shock and bewilderment. They looked at the dazed T Chaka, then looked at the valiant and spirited Eric Kermango. The elders looked at each other and couldn't help but nod.
The oldest elder of the merchant tribe said.
"Since King T Chaka has voluntarily renounced the throne, then the throne will be inherited by the challenger, Ni Jadaka."
"From now on …"
"Wait!"
The young prince standing beside T Chaka saw such a shocking change in the situation. His father had actually taken the initiative to hand over the throne. He couldn't help but turn pale with fright. Seeing that the elders had begun to recognize this man who had suddenly appeared as the king, the shocked T Chaka hurriedly spoke out to stop them.
"I am the prince of Wakanda, I also have the right to inherit the throne!"
The elders looked at each other when they heard this. The merchant tribe elder thought for a moment and said.
"Prince Ni Jadaka challenged King T Chaka. T Chaka voluntarily renounced the throne, which is equivalent to giving the throne to Prince Ni Jadaka."
"Therefore, at this moment, Ni Jadaka is our king."
T Chaka's expression changed greatly when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, the elder continued.
"Prince T Chaka, if you want to fight for the throne, you can issue a challenge in the waterfall duel during the coronation ceremony."
Before T Chaka could speak, Eric Kermango, who had been uncuffed by the general, took two steps forward and looked down at T Chaka.
"Very well, let us follow tradition and use strength to speak. The winner of the duel will become the king of Wakanda, the true Black Panther!"
Their gazes collided in the air, as if there were countless sparks flying.
… …
A week later, in the middle of the majestic and ancient waterfall, in a knee-deep pool with its back against the cliff and its front facing the abyss, the coronation ceremony of the Wakanda king was being held here.
Behind the pool, on the steep cliff, stood the people of the various tribes of Wakanda. Everyone was wearing the grandest tribal costumes.
For thousands of years, the coronation ceremony of the Wakanda king had been held here. The content of the ceremony had never changed. The king would accept the challenges of the five major tribes and other members of the royal family who wanted to fight for the throne in the pool. Only after winning could he truly ascend the throne. This was their unchanging tradition for thousands of years.
High Priest Zu Li carried a bowl of potion to T Chaka who was kneeling in the pool. Just as he was about to give it to him, Eric Kermango spoke.
"What is this?"
Zu Li explained to the "King"'s question.
According to tradition, the king of Wakanda was also the Black Panther who protected the kingdom. They consumed the heart-shaped herb and their bodies were strengthened, their strength far surpassing that of ordinary people.
In order to maintain the fairness of the duel, the Black Panther had to drink the potion to dispel the powerful ability of the heart-shaped herb when accepting a challenge. This was to ensure the fairness of the duel.
Eric Kermango had never consumed the heart-shaped herb and naturally did not need to dispel it.
However, T Chaka had already consumed the heart-shaped herb and became the new Black Panther.
After all these years, as T'Chaka grew older, he passed the responsibility of the Black Panther to his only son, the only heir apparent of the kingdom, T'Chaka.
It was just that Tchara had been a Black Panther for many years, but he still hadn't caught Ulysses Crowe. It could be said that he didn't have any achievements. This was also the reason why the general was completely disappointed in the father and son pair and turned to Eric Kermango.
T'Chaka had consumed the heart-shaped herb and obtained the power of the Panther God. Therefore, for the sake of fairness, T'Chaka should drink the potion to dispel the herb's ability before the duel.
However, Eric Kermango shook his head and said arrogantly.
"No need!"
"Let him fight me with his strongest strength. I want you to know that I am the strongest Guardian of Wakanda, the real Black Panther!"
Seeing Eric Kermango's unyielding attitude, although it was against tradition, Zu Li had to obey his order and handed the potion to the subordinate behind him.
This seemed very unfair, as if T'Chaka had a big advantage. However, except for Chen Mo, no one present knew that Eric Kermango had been strengthened by the Enhanced Super Soldier Serum. His strength was five times that of an ordinary person.
According to Chen Mo's speculation, from the battle between Captain America and the Black Panther in the movie, the strength of the two was basically equal. The effect of the heart-shaped herb should be similar to the original Super Soldier Serum. It could increase a person's various attributes to about four times that of an ordinary person.
In other words, even if T'Chaka had consumed the heart-shaped herb, he was still not Eric Kermango's opponent.
