Chapter 330 Times have changed

Atilan was not built brick by brick by the aliens. In fact, it was originally an ancient Kree outpost.

Gravity, domes, life support equipment, and some seemingly high-tech communication devices are all derived from Kree legacy technology.

If we look at it by Earth standards, there are almost no serious scientists here, they are all reverse engineers. Atilan may have an automated system that can run for a long time without manual maintenance, but they don't know how to use it.

Dome maintenance workers inspect this thin protective layer every day and place minerals from the mine into the mineral processor.

And now, they're all on strike.

Things have developed like this, even if Black Bolt kills Maximus, it doesn't make any sense anymore. What should be done now is to convince these workers.

In the square, Black Bolt and a group of royal family members stood on a high platform and spoke to the people in the audience.

"People of Atilan, we have all made mistakes.

But although we have failed you and failed to listen to your calls for equality, believe me, I have always put Atilan's needs above our own. "

Medusa translated Black Bolt's words.

But to be honest, this king is really not a speech material, and Medusa is even less suitable as a mouthpiece.

After hearing Black Bolt's words, the civilians looked at each other.

People may be stupid and lack enough imagination to imagine the outside world, but through the materials shipped in by Maximus, they have a way to understand the outside world.

Those stories, songs, paintings, etc. all greatly stimulated their imaginations, and among these supplies there was something like a virtual reality warehouse. That new world made them immersed in it.

The free trade advocated by Maximus brought them a new world, but the royal family acted as if they were afraid of their well-being in the process, which they could not understand.

If it was really for their own good, why didn’t the royal family choose it when there were obviously better options?

Forget it if you don’t choose, and secretly use it yourself?

People live for beautiful things, even these strangers, and they can endure suffering. Even now, they just want an explanation--

It's all because of one thing: the Terrigen mutation.

The Terrigen mutation is what unites their entire race and is the basis for their belief in the royal family - they themselves cannot understand this thing.

So if Terrigen's mutant status doesn't change, Black Bolt may actually be able to persuade these people back.

There is no way, these strangers have too little knowledge. If they do not have contact with the outside world, who else can they trust besides the king?

But now it's different.

"So what's going on with that big dog? Even a dog can be qualified for Terrigen mutation at birth? How do we choose the mutation target?" The upright uncle suddenly asked.

People have many questions, but this uncle chose the most straightforward one, which is also the one that he least understands.

Through the devices that communicate with the outside world, the aliens realized one thing: dogs are a kind of pet on earth. Although they are very cute, they are still pets.

There is a big dog in the royal family, called Tetanus, who has the ability to teleport over long distances and is very powerful.

Hearing this, everyone in the royal family was a little confused: Are they talking about tetanus?A giant dog with the ability to teleport?Its powers are very effective, obviously much more useful than these people, right?What are they trying to explain?

Awakening such a practical ability, isn't this a manifestation of their wise decision?

The royal family doesn’t understand: What’s wrong with using crystals for tetanus?

Seeing her pet being criticized, Crystal couldn't sit still - she couldn't sit still for a long time. She felt that she should explain: "Tetanus' ability is very useful! It can take us to any place!"

However, this simply cannot explain the core problem of ordinary people:

What ordinary people are thinking about now is not the strength of tetanus at all, but how the royal family made this choice.

Before passing through the Terrigen Mist, the abilities that all mutated objects may have are unknown.

How do you choose the mutated objects?Do you have the ability to predict?If you can really predict it, then we will admit it, but obviously, many awakenings have proven that you do not have this ability.

So in the eyes of ordinary people, or the fact is: even a dog, as long as it is a member of the royal family, its status is higher than that of any ordinary person.

This is especially reflected in the distribution of Terrigen crystals, which is the only chance for ordinary people to make a comeback.

This is the key propaganda content of the Voice of Utopia - Terrigen mutation is an important link to maintain this society, and it is also the most prominent place where inequality is reflected. It is just that many people ignore this due to habit.

When the illusion is exposed, people will start to get angry - people just want to know how the kingship works and why they have to suffer these hardships.

But Black Bolt has repeatedly dodged the question, and even now, the royal family has no explanation for the incident, an attitude that infuriates people.

Facing the angry people, the "royal guards" made a shocking move. The strong Gorgon stepped on the floor, shaking the mountain instantly.

So in front of the powerful force, the anger was suppressed, but everything was slipping towards the edge of losing control.

Black Bolt wanted to convince them, but now... his persuasion was completely ineffective, and at this point when the people needed explanations, Gorgon's actions conveyed another layer of meaning to the people:

We have power, we are stronger.

"So you want to force us to go back to work?" the uncle said again.

Black Bolt frowned: "It's not forced, it's for Attilan."

After speaking, Black Bolt motioned to Medusa to say a few words - because he still remembered that Medusa's parents used to do this, and it might be more convincing for her to speak.

"Many of you know the story of my parents, who had a different vision for Atilan, which was to tear down the class walls that divide us.

Maximus seems to have such an idea, but in fact, he is willing to risk all of you for his own needs..."

"Are you talking about the dome? This was not done by Maximus, but by us." The uncle's straightforward language blocked Medusa's words again.

Medusa looked at this dusty middle-aged man with a rather unfriendly look, but Black Bolt stopped her and continued to communicate in sign language.

"Then what do you want? A collapse of the dome would be devastating to everyone. There is no need to talk in such a self-destructive way."

"The prophet told us that if you were really protecting us, the dome would not collapse." The uncle shook his head. To be honest, he didn't understand either.

But the story the prophet told them was easy to understand, and now, little by little, things were falling into place.

"Then you have to go to work first so that we can protect you." The dome shook again, and Black Bolt could no longer bear it.

"If we can only be protected by working, doesn't it mean that we are protecting ourselves? What is the significance of the royal family's choice?"

"Are you willing to believe in that so-called prophet rather than your king?" Medusa emphasized her tone - Black Bolt was angry.

However, Black Bolt did not realize that Attilan's royal power was originally based on superpowers, or Terrigen's mutations.

An alien with precognitive abilities is obviously more suitable to guide them.

Huge boulders are falling from above - the dome is about to collapse!

Black Bolt had no choice but to ask Medusa to emphasize:

"go back to work!"

Karnak and Gorgon came forward with their guards, and the people took a few steps back upon seeing this.

However, the next moment, the guards all turned around and stood between the people and the royal family members.

"Times have changed. You are indeed not our king. We should choose our own king."
