Chapter 213 Two Choices (Second Update)

"I never expected to lose the first match!"

Namor, the Sea King, lay on the ground with his face charred black, his heart filled with endless frustration.

Humans, whom he once considered insignificant and whose advantage lay solely in numbers, now actually have so many powerful individuals.

It's truly laughable that he, the king of Atlantis and the most powerful feathered serpent god of Atlantis, couldn't even rank within the top twenty-six among humans.

"Calming Healer Technique!"

Just then, a warm energy surged into his body, allowing his severely injured body to quickly recover.

The one who came to treat him was none other than the most powerful superhero, who was also the referee of this match, Stephen Hawking.

"Thanks!"

Having recovered about 70-80% of his strength, Namo stood up and solemnly thanked Hawking.

Having just suffered a defeat, he no longer dared to underestimate the strong among humans.

"Namor, the King of Atlantis, do you have time to talk?"

Hawking said with a smile.

He then handed over the referee's task to his wooden clone.

"You know who I am!"

When he heard Hawking call him the King of Atlantis, Namor was immediately stunned.

Namor the Sea King is a title he publicly adopted, but he has never mentioned Atlantis, so no one among humans should know about it.

"Of course I know. I also know that your capital is located just below this island, but don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you."

Seeing that Namor was tense and ready to act at any moment, Hawking comforted him.

After learning about Aquaman Namor's identity, he had been keeping an eye on him. He knew that Aquaman had dived into the sea last night, and he even sent a wooden clone to follow him.

"What do you want to do?"

Namo took a deep breath and calmed down.

If the other party really wanted to harm him, they wouldn't have treated him in the first place.

"I want to talk to you."

Hawking reached out and grabbed Namor's arm with lightning speed. Namor instinctively tried to dodge, but found it was too late.

Compared to being at a disadvantage against Thor, he only truly understood what despair meant when facing Hawking.

The opponent grabbed him so casually, yet he had no way to dodge it, especially since the opponent was known for his speed.

"Apparition!"

The two disappeared instantly, and reappeared in a room in the wooden tower.

"I never imagined that besides those spatial devices, he himself also possessed the ability to teleport!"

Namor increasingly felt how terrifying Hawking was.

"I don't know, what do you want from me?"

"You can call me Hawking. No rush, sit down and have some water first, then we can talk slowly."

Hawking removed his golden armor, sat opposite Namo, and with a flick of his wrist, a glass of water automatically filled and flew to Namo's side.

"I don't like beating around the bush. I know your identity, and I also know all the information about the origin of your Atlantis."

So now I have two choices.

First, inform all the high-ranking human leaders of this intelligence; they are currently seated on the high platform outside.

As you probably know, the result was...

Given their principles, in order to eliminate the threat and for your vibranium resources and advanced technology, they will inevitably unite to wage war against Atlantis.

When the war between the two races comes, we superhumans will have no choice but to stand on the side of humanity and completely destroy Atlantis.

Second, I will keep this information from the higher-ups in the world, and you will join my company and become a superhero loved by the public.

In this way, we can gradually introduce Atlantis, get humanity to accept you, and the two races can live in peace and jointly protect the Earth we live on.

Which option do you think I should choose?

Atlantis's technology can help him better refine his gravity technology, and Atlantis's vibranium is also a precious resource he needs.

Therefore, it is certain that Neptune Namor will be brought under his control.

However, it cannot be for personal gain in name only. In name only, it is for the peace between the two races, for humanity and Atlantis to avoid war, to coexist peacefully and prosper together.

"Uh... I need to think about it."

Upon hearing Hawking's words, Namor nearly dropped the cup in his hand.

However, given the importance of this matter, he naturally couldn't give an answer immediately. Instead, he thought for a long time before replying:

"Can I give you an answer after the conference?"

Before coming to the human world, he believed that with Atlantis's technological level, defeating humanity was a certainty.

However, with such a large human population, even if Atlantis were to win, the casualties would be immense, making it a poor trade-off.

So it would be better to wait a few decades, until Atlantis has a larger population and more advanced technology and weaponry, before waging war against humanity. That way, the damage would be much less.

However, after attending this human-organized conference for people with superpowers, he realized that he had been looking at the world from the bottom of a well.

Humans are not as weak as he imagined.

If war were to break out now, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

However, he was unwilling to simply choose the second option: to live peacefully with greedy and selfish humans in the future.

So he wanted to see if humans were really that strong. He wanted to see the competition end and witness Hawking's true strength before making a final decision.

This concerns the future of the entire Atlantis, so it must be handled with utmost care.

"Of course, don't worry. Even if you make me choose the first option, I will still let you go back."

"You are still a participant in this tournament, and I will not harm you."

Hawking was not at all surprised by Namor's answer.

It wasn't that he was a prophet; rather, he had used a special ability to manipulate thoughts and emotions, and he was fully aware of Namo's current thoughts and concerns.

Want to see his skills?

Very good. Then we'll show Namor what the real difference in strength is.

After communicating with Namo, Hawking brought him back to the court, by which time the official game had reached its fifth match.

The two fighters battling it out in the ring are Captain Carter of Great Britain and the elegant swordsman Fandral from the holy land of Asgard.

After recalling his Wood Release clone, Hawking learned the results of the previous three matches based on his memory.

In the second match, Black Widow faced off against Loki, and Loki won.

In the third match, the female warrior Sif faced off against the Black Wizard, and the Black Wizard won.

In the fourth match, Asgard's strongman Volstagg faced off against Hulk, and Hulk won.

The results of these three matches were all within his expectations, so he wasn't surprised.

Now it's the fifth match, with Captain Carter wielding his shield and Fandral wielding his rapier. It's really hard to say who will win.

If Captain America Steve Rogers from the main universe were to fight Fandral Sven from the same universe, Captain America Steve Rogers would definitely win.

However, Captain Carter here is clearly weaker than Captain America in the main universe, and Fandral is stronger than Fandral in the main universe, so it can only be said that they are evenly matched.
