The people knocking on the door these days are getting stranger and stranger. It started with Coulson, then Agatha, followed by Quicksilver and Wanda, and now there's a large dog and a man taller than the doorframe standing outside.
Eller was wondering whether he should move. Previous guests were still relatively 'friendly'. If he encountered some unreasonable ones, fighting in a residential area would cause unnecessary trouble.
"Who are you looking for?" Eller asked the two Inhumans.
The big man lowered his head and said to Eller, "We are looking for Wanda. She lives here with you. Ask her to come out and see us."
"Alright, but before she leaves, I'd like to verify your identities."
This was an unavoidable challenge for his brother-in-law. Eller stepped aside and called out Wanda and Quicksilver's true names into the house.
"You can just call me Gorr, and also, this is my companion Lockjaw. Please treat him as a person," Gorr said to Eller.
Soon after, Wanda came out of the room with her brother and sister-in-law. Wanda's face was full of stubbornness and defiance.
"Gorr? And Lockjaw? So it's you two?"
A hint of joy appeared in Wanda's eyes. These two were also the ones who let her and Quicksilver escape. It seemed the royal family truly had some intention of fulfilling their wishes.
"Yes, Princess Wanda." Gorr sighed, "It's time to go home."
In Gorr's eyes, Wanda could only succumb to the fate of an arranged marriage.
What a pity... Just as Gorr was feeling sympathetic, Wanda said to him:
"I want to bring these three with me too."
"Are you trying to get these three Earthlings to persuade King Black Bolt?" Gorr asked.
"Because I found someone willing to replace Pietro in the royal duel," Wanda said.
"Oh? You should know that Maximus will definitely designate King Black Bolt to fight, right?"
Gorr raised an eyebrow slightly, then looked at Eller and Wanda. "I hope you two think carefully. King Black Bolt's power is very strong. Rashly challenging him will lead to death."
"Thank you for the reminder." Eller smiled slightly, then confidently said, "I will bear the consequences of my choice."
...
Gorr was silent for a moment, then said, "Once you step onto that path, you might not come back alive, but if you insist on going, I won't stop you, Lockjaw."
"Those who are willing to come just need to stand close to me," Lockjaw said to the group.
"Let's just consider it a trip to see the scenery on the Moon," Wanda said, taking Eller's hand.
"I wonder what Earth looks like from the Moon," Eller replied.
At this point, the group also stood within Lockjaw's ability range.
"Alright, we're going to Attilan."
As Lockjaw activated his ability, the group instantly appeared in the lunar city of Attilan. The city seemed to be covered by a large bubble, creating a simple ecosystem, which allowed the Inhumans to live on the Moon for generations, far from Earth's disturbances.
Attilan's architectural style was very peculiar, overall very serious and monotonous. The city seemed to only have a few dark colors, as well as strong straight lines and strange runes.
The city atmosphere was also very oppressive, with no smiles on the residents' faces, a scene of lifelessness.
This was normal. Attilan was, after all, only a lunar city with limited resources. In addition, the special class differences created by superpower disparities made the atmosphere within Attilan very oppressive.
The palace was located in the center of Attilan, overlooking the entire city. Under the guidance of Lockjaw and Gorr, Eller and his group met Black Bolt.
Gorr and Lockjaw performed the salute of subjects to their king. Wanda also had royal etiquette, and Pietro had received favors from the Inhumans and also intended to become Attilan's consort, so he acted like Wanda.
But Eller was different. He only nodded slightly after seeing Black Bolt.
Eller had never knelt throughout his journey. Even when facing Supergiant, who was far stronger than him, he would rather die standing than live kneeling.
And Black Bolt was no exception!
Black Bolt sat on the high throne in the center of the palace, with two people standing beside him.
One was slender, with red hair cascading like a waterfall. She was Black Bolt's wife, Wanda's sister, Medusa, or Medusalith Amaquelin Boltagon for short.
Medusa possessed a physique much stronger than that of an average Earthling, and her ability was to control her hair, even if it was cut off.
The black-haired man standing on the other side had a sinister look on his face, and his eyes made people very uncomfortable. He was Black Bolt's brother, Maximus.
Although Maximus and Black Bolt awakened their abilities at the same time, Maximus's ability was not obvious. He needed to concentrate very hard to influence and interfere with someone's mind.
Perhaps it was innate, but Maximus's personality became increasingly twisted and extreme.
It was a bit like Thor and Loki, those two brothers, but Black Bolt and his brother, though more closely related by blood, would have a more complete falling out in the future.
"Oh, my fiancée is here." Maximus said sinisterly, "Hey, why did you bring that guy back? Do you want him to watch me put the ring on you?"
"Don't even think about it, Maximus!" Wanda said with a look of disgust, "I would rather kill myself than marry a fanatic like you!"
"You!" Maximus instantly flew into a rage.
"Alright, Wanda, tell us your thoughts now."
Wanda's sister, Medusa, spoke. When she saw Wanda bringing new friends, she already had an idea.
"I want to invoke the 'Duel' within Attilan law, and designate this Earthling warrior, Mr. Ailer Hestia, to participate on my behalf," Wanda said emphatically.
This so-called duel rule would generally only benefit the Inhuman King and the royal family, because as a king, his strength would inevitably be superior to other Inhumans, and the royal family's abilities would not be inferior to commoners.
Moreover, the duel was conducted in secret, and the results would not be disclosed to the public.
The person who wrote this rule even added that the person initiating the duel and the person accepting the duel could designate outsiders to participate, confident that the royal family's strength would not be surpassed by commoners and outsiders. All these clauses were for the benefit of the royal family.
"He actually chose an outsider to participate." A hint of cunning flashed in Maximus's eyes, "Since that's the case, then I will ask my brother, Black Bolt, the King of the Inhumans, to participate in the duel on my behalf."
After his words fell, Queen Medusa also gave Eller a final reminder, "Guest from afar, we respect your wishes. If you wish to withdraw, it is still not too late."
"What a group of good people," Eller said with a sigh, then looked at Medusa and stated firmly:
"I choose to participate in this duel to fight for the love of my friends and family."
