Chapter Forty-Eight(48)

This was an idea that popped into his head immediately he heard that the Inhuman Royal family had come to visit. Of course, Elysium had well developed facilities to help teach these inhumans and mutants how to control Their powers but James believed that it would be better if they are trained by someone with a similar set of powers, they would learn better because said teacher understands exactly what the person is going through. A reality warper or a matter manipulator can not teach a fire manipulator how to use their powers because their powers may not work in the same way.

"Normally I would be skeptical about your claims but you have done it with the mutants so I would be a fool to believe that you haven't learnt how to manipulate the inhuman gene" Blackagar said calmly

"Right on the money, so we have a deal?"

"We shall agree under one condition, you allow us establish an embassy on Elysium"

"Of course, that is standard treatment, the only reason you guys don't have one is simply because Attilan is a secretive nation not even found on the maps" James said with a smile.

The inhuman nation, Attilan was fairly large and was located on this unfairly large planet called Earth. The nation could be easily found if you had more advanced satellites or technology in general but for Earth's current technological level, the nation was absolutely invisible to humans. Getting to it even when spotted by mistake was impossible simply because there were multiple special effects on the nation with the help of advanced technology as well as the superpowers of the people which made it nigh-impossible to locate and find the nation.

"That is great then"

"Yes and of course, you would need to meet with the official queen of the nation to confirm our alliance, I am just a prince after all, Paris take them to a hotel and book them an appointment with mom for tomorrow" James ordered

[Affirmative, anything else] Paris' actual voice sounded out of nowhere slightly stunning Gorgon but Medusa and Blackagar didn't even look impressed in the slightest.

"Nothing for now" James replied

"This short meeting was way more fruitful than I expected" James continued

"Well then we shall meet again, Prince, still thank you for gifting my husband his voice back" Medusa said as she bowed slightly to express her gratitude

"No need, it's a temporary thing, if you want a more permanent solution we can visit my labs but I think it would be better to wait after the Alliance is done" James reminded again in case they had forgotten as to why their powers no longer work.

"We are aware" Blackagar replied followed by a chuckle

"Did he just… oh my god, Cassy, you don't roll around in dirt!!" James shouted as he focused all his attention to the little girl who wanted to join her friends in rolling around in the sand. The girl may be five(5) years old now but she still thought about things like a four(4) year old.

While James went to do his job as a babysitter, the Agons entered the car and drove off without much expression on their faces. Blackagar wasn't too impressed with the city after all Attilan could replicate it with a bit of effort, this could be easily told from their faces but what had shocked him was the fact that Elysium had the power to manipulate the X-Gene and the Inhuman Gene. Blackagar didn't need some higher being to clarify just how terrifying that was, this simply meant that Elysium could easily create synthetic X-genes or inhuman genes and implant them into their soldiers.

"Do you think they already have ways to create synthetic Inhumans and mutants?" Medusa asked with a clearly worried look on her face, she too understood the things Elysium was capable of just from the short conversation.

"I wouldn't put it past them, they could already nullify even my powers, play with the genes of nearly all the mutants and inhumans on this massive island, and resist Lockjaw's teleportation. Creating synthetic Inhumans and Mutants would just be a matter of time" Blackagar replied with a clear worried look on his face, he may have trained to not even make a sound or a change in expression no matter the situation but he was now around family.

"Then is our alliance with this nation beneficial or not, My King" Gorgon asked

"It is and it is not, Elysium is a nation that thrives on Control. Its leaders have absolute control over the entire structure, they didn't even care to put up a show for democracy and instead blatantly declared itself an absolute monarchy. Our alliance with them would allow us resolve the problems that have been plaguing our society for years but we have to be ready for any form of betrayal in the future but for now, the boy at least seems to have good intentions" Blackagar analysed expertly.

He may have not been able to get any form of inside information about Elysium and had not stayed on the nation for long but he could already tell just how the nation functioned but as for how the nation's leaders kept its people under control, he had no idea.
