Chapter 1420 The young Black Panther is indeed young
The Justice League represented by Wayne were already at the agreed upon location.
Wayne will be a witness to the peace talks between Atlantis and Wakanda. In this case, even if there is any conflict between Namor and Black Panther, he will be slightly restrained.
For these two parties, SHIELD's authority will not have much effect.
After all, both Atlantis and Wakanda are high-tech countries that are completely self-sufficient.
They only have requests from humans but no requests!
Wayne's strength has become the most critical point in this peace negotiation!
As for Nick Fury, he led other members of the Justice League to clean up the ground in the areas determined to be cleaned.
Of course, Wayne also knew that Nick Fury personally led the team to carry out this mission, perhaps intending to win over other people in the Justice League.
But Wayne never intended to restrict his partners from making choices in their lives!
What he needs is a partner, not an attachment!
This is the same even when facing those Robins!
The Robins around Batman are never lifelong. After those Robins have their own goals and ideas, Wayne is also willing to provide some help.
Although his initial idea was to find a young man who could truly inherit his legacy.
"Neptune Namor, do you really think it's appropriate for me to host this meeting?"
Wayne asked.
He believed in Namor's determination to fight against the Burning Hell, but it was not certain how much he believed in Namor.
Even if Wayne had no prejudice against the Atlanteans through getting along with Arthur, he would not think that a very difficult guy in Arthur's mouth would be easy to deal with.
Wayne even built a large humidifier in this conference room to prevent Namor from becoming irritated due to lack of water.
In a relatively humid environment, Namor's emotions will be better controlled.
"Wayne, you rarely seem to take your status as a barbarian into consideration when considering problems.
I think you should pay attention to this identity. As a member of the Nephalem, your identity is more important than you think."
Namor assumed a preaching attitude.
This attitude seemed a bit offensive most of the time, but at this time, Wayne listened very seriously.
Although Namor cannot represent everyone, Namor's attitude is definitely not just theirs!
"Since the Nephalem appeared in this world, not only the earth, but also most of the civilizations in the universe have heard about the Nephalem.
As one of the most active barbarians among the Nephalem, you have always underestimated the value of your identity as the heir of the three ancestors.
If you go to other civilizations in the universe, this status alone will be enough for you to receive a considerable degree of courtesy."
Namor said it naturally.
Wayne would naturally be able to obtain this information if he was willing to investigate.
But this is information that would be difficult for Wayne to know as long as he didn't investigate!
If it were just Batman's identity, Wayne would still have a very high status in human society.
But in the eyes of other civilians, it doesn't matter whether Batman is great or not! Even in their eyes, Batman is just an ordinary cross-dressing hero.
Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for Wayne to allow other civilizations to treat him with caution.
But as a nephalem it's completely different!
The universe was already in a state of chaos, and even a powerful civilization like the Shi'ar Empire suffered heavy losses in the battle with the demons!
In the universe, one of the most famous names now is the Burning Hell, and the other is the Soul Reaver Legion under Malthael!
Apart from these two, the Nephalem, which are mentioned by the Soul Reaver Legion and the demons from time to time, are naturally the most concerning!
And those civilizations will naturally ask about the Nephalem after receiving the kind help from the Soul Reaver Legion!
Therefore, the existence of the Nephalem is well known in the universe!
Especially the three ancestors of the barbarians who have such a great reputation. They have even pieced together the general story of the three ancestors from the words of the Soul Reaver Legion!
As the successor chosen by Corik, the treatment Wayne received in the universe is completely extraordinary!
It’s just that Wayne himself hasn’t realized this yet!
"If my name is useful in the universe, will it also be valid when we get along with Wakanda?"
Wayne asked with a stern expression.
The answer to this question can also let him know something about Wakanda's level of civilization. If the other party doesn't know, it means that Wakanda's technology is not yet at the level where it can directly communicate with the universe.
Although Wayne has not had much experience with aliens, he knows that contact between two civilizations will never be friendly to each other from the beginning!
"Wakanda has a way of knowing all this, and how they know it is their secret.
Just like I wouldn't tell you about Atlantis's channel to understand the universe."
Namor's tone was not polite, but he also showed enough respect for Wayne.
Wayne's situation is special after all, and Arthur is also concerned about Wayne's identity as a Nephalem.
Most of them know the situation of the Nephalem, and although the barbarians are not the kind of guys who are completely unreasonable, the barbarians are definitely the kind of beings who will never let go easily as long as they are reasonable!
Angering Wayne is not a smart choice!
While they were talking, representatives from Wakanda had also arrived.
The first person walking was T'Challa, who had just become King and Black Panther not long ago, and half a step behind him was his sister, Princess Shuri.
The old Black Panther has passed away in contact with the devil. This is also the beginning of Wakanda's awareness of the threat of the devil!
It didn't take long for T'Challa to become Black Panther, and the process was quite difficult.
The guy who wanted to seize the Black Panther and King's identity was corrupted. If the old Black Panther hadn't severely wounded that guy before he died, T'Challa and Wakanda might have fallen into chaos!
It is precisely because T'Challa did not have time to receive the teachings of being a king that he brought Princess Shuri to this meeting at this time!
The conflict between Wakanda and Atlantis has been going on for a long time, and they have to be more careful about it!
"I am T'Challa, the king of Wakanda, and this should be Namor, one of the kings of the sea?"
After T'Challa came in, he first greeted Namor.
He had never met Namor before, but he had some knowledge of the two Aqua Kings of Atlantis.
Arthur is more straightforward and rough, while Namor seems to have a gloomy temperament.
And only Namor has the problem of becoming irritable after leaving water. The humidity in this conference room alone is enough for him to draw this conclusion.
"Young Black Panther, I am very satisfied with you greeting me first.
But it would be disrespectful to ignore the host of the meeting."
Namor sat in his chair and didn't even try to get up.
Namor's behavior seems a bit arrogant. Even though the Black Panther T'Challa in front of him is considered a junior to him, he is the king of Wakanda!
They meet not to represent individuals, but to represent Atlantis and Wakanda!
While showing off his arrogance, Namor also made Wayne the center of a brief struggle!
Wayne frowned subtly. He didn't like getting attention from others in this way, but he quickly guessed what Namor meant!
This cooperation is inevitable, there is no other possibility!
Although both Wakanda and Atlantis are countries with very advanced technology, Atlantis also seems to be a little stretched when facing the erosion of demons, so Wakanda is even less likely to be safe and sound!
At most, it's just because Wakanda's hiding methods are better, so that demon attacks will not be too frequent!
But this advantage cannot change the fact that Wakanda has difficulty protecting itself when faced with the threat of the Burning Hell!
In other words, both Atlantis and Wakanda must rely on the power of the Nephalem to better protect themselves!
But they have no way to directly establish contact with the Nephalem slips, so relying on human society is their only option!
T'Challa was a little angry at Namor's words. Although he grew up in Wakanda, he also lived and studied in human society!
But the view towards Atlantis remains consistently hostile!
After just a simple meeting, he lost his cool under Namor's words, and even had some opinions on Wayne!
T'Challa's performance is also the reason why Wayne did not directly defend himself. He also wanted to see what the attitude of the Black Panther who could represent Wakanda was!
T'Challa's performance also slightly disappointed Wayne.
But on the whole, Wayne is still satisfied. If the other party is the experienced old Black Panther, Wayne may find it more troublesome.
And young T'Challa can obviously convince the other party more easily as long as he finds the right way!
"Mr. Wayne, I have long admired your name."
Princess Shuri, who was standing behind T'Challa, greeted Wayne just right.
Wayne didn't know for a moment whether Princess Su Rui's words were polite. After all, her words could be used as polite words without any problem.
"Hello, Princess Su Rui.
Forgive me for only recently learning your name and King T’Challa.”
Wayne said calmly.
He doesn't need to have any fear of T'Challa and Princess Shuri, although the wealth the other party controls is indeed beyond ordinary people's imagination.
But for Wayne, wealth no longer means anything.
As for T'Challa's hostility, he didn't care.
He already knew about Wakanda's specialty vibranium, and naturally understood that Black Panther, the representative of Wakanda's strongest personal combat power, must have vibranium equipment.
But Wayne doesn’t care much about vibranium equipment!
The equipment brought by the nephalem alone is not necessarily any worse than vibranium equipment in terms of sturdiness, nor is the material that the demon's soul and corpse turns into after death.
Coupled with the nephalem's forging skills, Wayne is qualified not to treat vibranium equipment as a big deal.
The only thing Wakanda has that he cares about is more advanced technology!
The Cyberman and Dairik technology that Tony obtained is something that is difficult for today's humans to quickly learn and master. That's because the gap is too big.
Although the technology of Wakanda and Atlantis is still very advanced for today's humans, at least it is knowledge that can be learned and popularized!
"I am Namor, of course. Please take your seats."
Namor said bluntly.
If Wayne was just a little disappointed with T'Challa, Namor was particularly disappointed.
Although the old black panther's energy has long declined due to his long lifespan, Namor has never underestimated him.
And if T'Challa wants to have a back-and-forth fight with Namor, he's far behind.
But this time, Namor represents Atlantis and Wakanda to discuss more levels of cooperation with humans, and allows the three parties to establish an alliance to fight against the Burning Hell.
T'Challa's immaturity can easily hold him back in this matter, and Namor's disappointment is understandable.
As for Princess Shuri's performance, Namor only nodded slightly.
It is no secret that Princess Su Rui is a smart person, and this Princess Su Rui is not only a smart scientist, but is also smart in matters such as interpersonal communication.
Just a meeting, and through his words, I realized the fact that Wayne standing here is of great significance!
Namor felt regretful that Shuri could not become the new Black Panther, but it only made Namor a little bit regretful.
"We had heard before we came that this meeting was for cooperation against the threat of the Burning Hell, but we think there are still some issues worthy of discussion regarding the specific circumstances."
T'Challa just sat down and said impatiently.
It's not that he doesn't pay attention to this meeting, it's just that the chaos in Wakanda has not subsided yet, and he is inevitably anxious.
Upon hearing this, Princess Su Rui secretly pricked T'Challa with a vibranium needle as a reminder.
They had already agreed before coming here that Shuri would be the main subject of the negotiation this time, and T'Challa would be more of a target.
T'Challa felt reminded. Although he didn't know what he had done wrong, he knew that he had indeed done something wrong.
Su Rui was here to remind him, not to embarrass him, so he would naturally not use too much force when inserting the acupuncture.
"Well, since we are sitting here, let's try not to waste time.
Princess Shuri, Wakanda seems unwilling to directly agree to the charter I proposed, please tell me what you plan to do."
Namor said.
If Wakanda had directly agreed to the cooperation method formulated by Namor and SHIELD, there would have been no sign of anger when he arrived here.
Instead, we go directly into the discussion of the order of cooperation and ease it!
Both T'Challa and Shu Rui seemed to have something to say but hadn't figured out how to say it yet, which obviously means they have different views on cooperation.
Even though Namor doesn't like the existence of Wakanda, he still understands the threat posed by the Burning Hell.
So he is also willing to give T'Challa and Princess Shuri a chance to express their thoughts!
And if the other party's performance is too disappointing, then Namor doesn't mind uniting with humans to make Wakanda a thing of the past!
The gap between humans and Wakanda is no longer as huge as it once was!
After obtaining the technology of demon hunter weapons, although the overall technology tree of mankind has not made huge progress.
But in terms of combat, he was able to take the lead and achieve rapid progress!
