Chapter 342 - Coup in Attilan?

'Interesting... this ability has some of the power of the Demonic Eye of Direct Sight.'

Before transmigration, Aaron had seen a special eye, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, which could see through the concept of death.

All things originate from the root, and birth must have an end.

The end of things is predetermined from their birth, so all things have the concept of 'Death'.

Those with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, when activating their eyes to see death, vigorously attack these points and lines to inflict permanent, irreversible damage on things.

Once completely cut, even the most powerful beings will die. Even gods can be killed before your eyes.

Of course, some owners of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception cannot see the death of non-physical things, while others can erase conceptual things, such as future, time, or pain.

Aaron's Flaw Strike had a bit of this aspect.

However, what he saw were flaws, not the line of death.

'But this ability, combined with Suppression Force, Fantasy Killer, Soulsword, and Unhealing Mark, would have seventy to eighty percent of the functions of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.'

'It might not be useful for bullying the weak, but against those of the same level or stronger, this ability can unleash considerable power.'

Aaron didn't expect such a gain this time.

Compared to the Annihilation Sonic Wave, which seemed to have an extremely high upper limit and greater attack power, Aaron was more optimistic about Flaw Strike.

This was a complete fatal blow.

Possessing this ability, he could be called invincible among his peers.

Scanning the spoils of this trip, apart from these two abilities, the shockwave ability contributed by Gorgon was not even a fraction of Skye's and the hair control contributed by Medusa was useless to Aaron.

Although it lacked the weakness of Medusa being unable to use her powers without hair, it was still too much of a hassle.

Lockjaw's ability was teleportation, but it offered no benefit to Aaron either.

Crystal, however, contributed Elemental Control, including the control of the four basic elements: Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire.

But Aaron far surpassed Crystal in Elemental Control.

Moreover, these abilities had already merged into the Grand Unification Force.

The abilities provided by Crystal could not bring him any improvement.

Aaron had long anticipated this.

When Aaron's gaze once again fell upon Black Bolt, this King of the Inhumans once again felt a more intense chill. He felt his entire body trembling, as if he had been targeted by some terrifying existence that was unlookable, indescribable, and undefinable.

So much so that Black Bolt almost broke his silence and spoke.

He forcefully kept his lips tightly sealed, fearing that if he opened his mouth, a storm-like death strike would follow.

Black Bolt forcibly endured the physical discomfort, and soon, the strange feeling vanished, as if it had all been an illusion.

But Black Bolt was certain that something he did not know about had definitely just occurred.

And the source was very likely Aaron.

He subconsciously glanced at Aaron. Those golden eyes seemed to flash with a hint of red light.

Black Bolt felt uneasy. He did not want to stay any longer, not even for a minute.

Thus, he looked at Medusa, signaling with a hum.

Medusa sensed Black Bolt's brainwaves and hesitated slightly. "Crystal, since the matter on Earth has been resolved, will you return to Attilan with us?"

Hearing this, Crystal immediately looked at Aaron, then shook her head repeatedly. "I'm not going back. I already promised Felicia that she would take me to see the beautiful Garden of Light, the legendary Asgard, and New Cybertron."

Crystal, who had grown up in Attilan since childhood, was already tired of the small Attilan. Only upon leaving Attilan did she realize the vastness of the world.

The scenes Felicia described to her were magnificent sights that she could not imagine even with all her fantasy.

She wanted to see the great sea, the Divine Realm, and the silicon-based life form planet Cybertron.

"The world is so big, I want to go see it." Crystal said while looking at Aaron.

Medusa's lips twitched.

Could Aaron be your world?

Medusa gave Black Bolt a helpless look.

Crystal then said, "Sister, why don't you stay with me on Earth? Don't you want to see the super cool transformers that can change shape? Don't you want to see giants made of stone, ice, winged Pegasi, and the home of the Light Elves, full of sunshine and forests, like a paradise?"

Medusa had to admit that everything Crystal mentioned was very appealing.

Attilan was too small, only able to accommodate a few thousand or tens of thousands of Inhumans.

Medusa's world was essentially just the Royal Palace.

Aaron Industries Building surpassed all the buildings in Attilan.

Medusa's gaze flickered, and after seeing a certain figure, her heart trembled. She then looked at Black Bolt and the other two.

"Blackagar, I want to stay here to protect Crystal and return to Attilan later."

Black Bolt's lips twitched slightly.

Don't think I didn't see you sneaking glances at Aaron.

Black Bolt looked at Aaron with a degree of hostility.

This man, appearing for the first time, actually managed to abduct both Medusa and her sister.

How hateful!

Medusa was the future Queen of the Inhumans in his heart.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Aaron gave Black Bolt no Face whatsoever, saying, "Instead of staring here blankly, you should figure out how to get back first. Your home has been raided."

"!!!"

Black Bolt's pupils suddenly widened.

Medusa looked over. "Raided?"

Aaron nodded, looking toward the direction of the Moon.

"That seems to be your brother Maximus. He gathered a group of people and launched a coup the moment you left."

"By now, he has taken the Royal Palace, disarmed all the Royal Guard, and proposed the Attilan Escape Plan, preparing to leave the Solar System."

Black Bolt was greatly alarmed.

Karnak frowned tightly. "You can see Attilan?"

"It's just 380,000 kilometers, don't make a fuss." Aaron said indifferently.

Black Bolt fell silent.

He was unwilling to believe in his heart that Maximus would do this, that was his dearest relative and brother.

Maximus started acting right after he left?

Could it be that he had been planning this coup for a long time?

Thinking of this, Black Bolt was about to call the subordinates left behind in Attilan. However, when he tried to contact Tritan, another trusted subordinate, he received no response.

Maximus had directly cut off their signal. This meant they had lost contact with Attilan.

Black Bolt's expression slightly changed.

Having no choice, he could only have Lockjaw teleport them to Attilan.

Seeing this, Medusa and Crystal were also quite anxious.

"Once Maximus completes the coup, with their army, Black Bolt probably won't be able to defeat them." Aaron curled his lips.

"It looks like you need some help?"

Medusa saw hope. "Mr. Aaron, can you help us?"

"Of course."

Aaron raised an eyebrow. "However, what can I gain?"

"That is a 'powerful' army."

Medusa gritted her teeth. "Whatever you want, we can give it to you."

"As long as you can help restore peace to Attilan."

Aaron gave Medusa a deep look.

"It's a deal."

The Moon, Attilan.

Maximus, who initiated the coup with his comrades immediately after Black Bolt left, was currently sitting on the throne that originally belonged to Black Bolt.

Looking at his followers below the platform, he spoke passionately, "Brothers and sisters, it is time to make a decision."

"The sun has now reappeared and the Earth crisis has been resolved, and everything seems to be developing positively."

"But in reality, however, Attilan is already facing a life-or-death situation."

"Think about the intense energy index that erupted on Earth, and the two terrifying beings, larger than Earth itself, that appeared not long ago."

"The reason Attilan still exists is simply because we are hidden deeply enough that no one notices us."

"But now, Crystal and Medusa have betrayed us, and the existence of Attilan is no longer a secret."

"Earth already knows about us on the Moon. If the Master of that power notices our existence, then what awaits us will be war."

"I believe our army is strong, but we should not engage in this meaningless, futureless, unequal war."

"We must leave, just as we came to the Moon initially. Let the great Attilan wander the Universe, far away from Earth and far away from the Solar System, until we find a new homeland."

"This is my Wandering Attilan, Wandering Moon Plan."

Maximus, who was part of the War Faction in the original work, has now joined the Escape Faction due to Aaron's presence.

War?

He had thought about it before. However, he personally witnessed the sun extinguish and then saw the sun reignited.

That mysterious and invisible power could reverse the vitality of a star, and it could also instantly crush the Moon.

That was not something the Inhumans could contend with. Even Black Bolt was a joke under that level of power.

Maximus chickened out.

Although he didn't know what kind of monsters were on Earth, Attilan couldn't afford to provoke them.

Black Bolt kept a sour face all day, thinking he was the greatest. He even delusionally attempted to go to Earth to turn things around.

"Great idea, Maximus, we all support you."

"I agree. We'd better act fast. After those traitors went to Earth, they might attract other invaders. If we delay, it might be too late."

Maximus's suggestion was approved by many people present.

Most of these people were like-minded allies Maximus usually contacted secretly.

Status in Attilan is often linked to strength.

After every Inhuman undergoes the first Terrigen Mist activation, their status is determined by their ability, and once assigned, it is difficult to change.

The stronger the power, the more they are valued. Conversely, if their strength is weak after activation, they will be despised by others.

Maximus was one of them, even though he was Black Bolt's younger brother.

Precisely because he was Black Bolt's brother, the contrast was even more striking.

One was the strongest in Attilan, the other was a waste product nobody cared about.

Most of Maximus's allies were also people like this.

However, as a member of the Royal Family, Maximus possessed the potential to become King.

Compared to Black Bolt, he had an irreplaceable advantage—he could speak.

Black Bolt was strong, but he was ultimately a "mute," making it hard to win people's hearts.

Maximus, on the other hand, could undoubtedly reach the lower classes more easily, and was more likely to gain their approval due to his noble status and shared plight.

That's why his coup was successful. After all, the common people were more numerous and more united.

Similarly, it was also because his allies were all losers. Therefore, when facing the threat from Earth, they all leaned towards the escape faction.
