While Luke was enjoying his days..
Black Bolt and the others slowly woke up the next day.
The first to wake up was Gorgon. As the Captain of the Royal Guard, he possessed the strongest physique.
His will was also stronger than that of ordinary Inhumans.
Gorgon painfully clutched his head and woke up the others one by one.
Black Bolt sat on the ground without saying a word, his mind filled with the final image before he passed out.
He lost. Luke had instantly defeated them with just a single glance.
This was an immense humiliation for Black Bolt.
Karnak, the advisor, had sharp insight, yet he couldn't analyze the medium Luke used to strike last night.
Gorgon held his head and said, "How exactly did that guy do it? Was it some kind of psychic ability?"
Karnak shook his head. "No, it absolutely wasn't a psychic ability."
"It was more like some kind of aura? But can an aura injure people?"
Naturally, Karnak could not understand the meaning of the dominant aura.
Only truly strong individuals with firm wills could resist the power of the dominant aura.
Those who were knocked out instantly by the dominant aura were all weaklings, all cannon fodder.
It could be said that the dominant aura was equivalent to a method for the strong to filter out candidates; whether someone had potential depended on whether they could resist the dominant aura.
"What should we do next?"
Triton, Black Bolt's cousin, who could move freely in water, asked.
"On one hand, we need to find Terrigen Crystals located on Earth to continue expanding our population, and on the other hand, we need to establish New Attilan."
Karnak took out a business card, which bore Coulson's name.
When they helped the Earthlings resist the Decepticons on Earth, they had dealings with a group of people from a mysterious organization.
A man named Coulson, after learning their origins, proactively stated that if they needed help, he could consult him anytime.
S.H.I.E.L.D. would provide them with some assistance.
Karnak could sense that Coulson had a powerful background. Given Attilan's strength, he believed the Earthlings would definitely not refuse such a powerful fighting force.
This was why they felt so confident when facing Luke.
Karnak took out a discarded cell phone and dialed the number.
"Hello, Mr. Coulson? This is Karnak of Attilan."
On the other side, Coulson, who was at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, paused, then said with slight joy, "Wait a moment, I'll return to my office first."
Coulson quickly went to Director Fury's office and put the call on speakerphone.
"You may continue, Mr. Karnak. It seems you need some help."
Nick Fury leaned against the desk, looking preoccupied. Hearing the name Karnak, he instantly recalled the intelligence Coulson had reported yesterday.
Attilan, the Inhumans!
A superpowered race similar to the Mutants.
They lost their home on the Moon during this alien invasion war.
In other words, the Inhumans were homeless, just like the Skrulls.
They were a force that could be utilized!
Nick Fury slightly perked up and listened attentively.
"We need a territory without an owner to establish a new home, and you will gain the friendship of Attilan. We can provide some assistance during special times."
Coulson did not answer immediately, looking up to confirm with Nick Fury.
Nick Fury frowned, holding up three fingers, signifying Plan C.
Coulson nodded subtly and said, "In principle, we agree, but we have one condition. You need to..."
"Luke and they are in New York!"
Hmm? Luke!
Coulson's originally relaxed expression instantly darkened. "Mr. Karnak, were you just talking about... Luke?"
Karnak glared at an Inhumans compatriot and continued, "Yes, Luke allegedly used certain means to mislead two of our important compatriots. We are currently trying to negotiate with him, which has caused some minor misunderstandings."
Negotiate? Misunderstandings?
With Luke?
Coulson was flustered. You newcomers are so bold, challenging the Earth's Big Daddy right off the bat.
You really don't know how to write the word "death," do you?
Nick Fury immediately lowered his hand and silently shook his head.
"Karnak, our cooperation ends here. Don't call me again, and don't say you know me. I fear Lord Luke might misunderstand."
Coulson hung up the phone without any hesitation.
Du du—!
Karnak stared blankly at the disconnected phone.
Wait, just now you were polite and sounded like everything was negotiable, but the next second, you turned hostile and disowned us because of a single sentence.
He looked up to meet the surprised and uncertain gazes of the other Inhumans.
Karnak opened his mouth. "Perhaps we've stirred up a little trouble?"
Just then, Coulson called back.
Karnak quickly answered.
"Oh, and burn my business card immediately, thank you!"
Du du—!
"..."
Karnak was stunned. Could it be that what Medusa said was true, that Luke really was the Lord of Earth?
Otherwise, why would Coulson react so strongly?
Karnak looked toward Black Bolt.
Black Bolt remained silent, staring intently at the distant sky.
He was still immersed in the grief and indignation of his childhood sweetheart being taken away by Luke.
Seeing this, Karnak thought, Great. I'm relying on a person who can't speak to come up with a good idea.
"If S.H.I.E.L.D. won't help us, we'll go find the President of the United States, we'll find the United Nations!"
"I still have one more phone number. It is said that person holds considerable power in the United Nations."
The existence of Attilan was a highly sought-after prize for Earth powers.
Who could refuse a group of homeless superpowered individuals?
The Skrulls were quite useful when deployed.
Karnak dialed another number.
"Hello, this is Karnak of Attilan. I need to speak to Mr. Alexander Pierce."
As the Inhumans nation, Attilan was also qualified to join the United Nations organization.
After all, they were once members of Earth; they were insiders.
This time, Karnak did not immediately state Attilan's needs to Alexander, but instead brought up the matter concerning Luke.
Upon learning that Attilan had a conflict with Luke,
Alexander remained silent for a long time.
And then,
Du du—!
Coulson had at least said a couple of words, but Alexander didn't say a single word!
This time, Karnak was drenched in sweat.
He suddenly realized that perhaps offending Luke was a terrible move.
Alexander Pierce, far away in Washington D.C., looked at his phone and fell into contemplation.
He immediately took out the SIM card and completely crushed it.
Although Luke was the biggest obstacle HYDRA needed to face in unifying Earth, he had never thought about openly confronting Luke; everything had to be done slowly and secretly.
Fools like Attilan, who dared to directly confront and provoke Luke, were simply unworthy of joining HYDRA.
HYDRA did not need useless trash with below-average intelligence!
The Attilan Inhumans repeatedly hit dead ends.
Luke, however, was completely unaware and bothered to pay no attention.
Compared to the Inhumans, Luke was currently more concerned about another matter.
The Sorcerer King of Kamar-Taj suddenly came knocking.
"What did you say? Someone summoned a Hell Demon King through some special means?"
