Brainwashing Failure?!
After successfully consuming the Heart-shaped herb and undergoing the enhancement, Eric Killmonger calmed his breathing and stood up from the mound of earth.
Before he could fully experience the changes in his body, a meaningful look from Chen Mo made him temporarily abandon his idea of exploring further and directly send everyone in the cave away.
Although this is a sacred place in Wakanda, where Heart-shaped herb with magical effects grow, and it is usually heavily guarded, with outsiders not allowed to enter, no one dares to disobey the king's orders. Wakanda is not one of those constitutional monarchies. Although its system is primitive and backward, it also maintains a high degree of centralization. The king's power is supreme, and no one in Wakanda can disobey Eric Killmonger's orders.
After all the priests withdrew, only Chen Mo and Eric remained in the cave.
With no outsiders around, Chen Mo no longer held back and walked directly to the edge of the medicinal field where Heart-shaped herb were planted. He bent down and picked a ping-pong ball-sized fruit that emitted a faint purple glow from a heart-shaped flower.
Before the enhancement ceremony began, Chen Mo had already consulted Wakanda's research and records on Heart-shaped herb.
The Heart-shaped herb was born alongside Vibranium veins. Millions of years ago, a giant meteorite made of Vibranium crashed into Wakanda. Under the special energy radiation emitted by the large amount of Vibranium, a certain plant mutated, eventually giving birth to the Heart-shaped herb.
This miraculous plant can not only heal injuries and strengthen the body, but also allow people to enter the spiritual world and meet their deceased ancestors, which is truly amazing.
This Heart-shaped herb is extremely rare and has very demanding environmental requirements; it only grows in this cave located above the Vibranium meteorite in the entire Wakanda.
The Wakanda also tried to transplant the Heart-shaped herb to other places, but all of them ended in failure. Even in other places around the meteorite, they could only survive, but could not continue to grow and bear fruit.
Clearly, the Heart-shaped herb not only mutated under the radiation of Vibranium energy, but their growth is also inseparable from the special energy radiated by Vibranium. Only this cave, with its special location, the strongest radiation, and the highest energy concentration, can meet their energy needs, allowing them to survive, grow normally, and bear fruits with miraculous effects.
After obtaining the Heart-shaped herb, Chen Mo did not immediately consume it for enhancement. Instead, he picked a few more fruits and then waved his hand to store them in his spatial storage.
Based on the plot of the movie and Eric Killmonger's performance during his enhancement, it's clear that the enhancement from the Heart-shaped herb will cause the user to fall into a coma and completely lose their ability to resist. The cautious Chen Mo doesn't intend to undergo the enhancement here; he plans to return to a completely safe place before taking it.
Having witnessed several Heart-shaped herb in Chen Mo's hand vanish into thin air, Eric Killmonger marveled at Chen Mo's amazing abilities but was not overly surprised.
In his heart, Chen Mo was a god-like figure, so it was perfectly normal for him to have some amazing special abilities.
Seeing Chen Mo put away the Heart-shaped herb and stand up, looking at him, Eric Killmonger quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Chen Mo. His huge and powerful body stood solemnly with his hands at his sides, and he asked Chen Mo with his head bowed, "My god, what should I do next?"
Before he set off, Chen Mo only told him how to act and seize the throne of Wakanda, but did not tell him about his plans after seizing the throne.
Now that he has become the King of Wakanda and has been enhanced by the Heart-shaped herb to become the new Black Panther, he is somewhat confused about what to do next.
Seeing Eric Killmonger's respectful and inquiring gaze, Chen Mo pondered for a moment before looking into his eyes and slowly asking.
What do you want?
"I?"
Eric Killmonger, who had intended to ask Chen Mo for instructions on the next steps, was momentarily taken aback by Chen Mo's question.
Although he has become the King of Wakanda, his mindset has not changed. He is still a HYDRA warrior, a loyal believer of God, and believes that God's will is above all else!
Although somewhat puzzled, Eric Killmonger knew that Chen Mo must have a reason for asking, so he began to think about it carefully.
What does he want?
Since his father's death, he was secretly recruited by HYDRA, grew up in the slums, joined the Navy SEALs to fight in Afghanistan, and became a mercenary adventuring around the world. The past events he witnessed resurfaced in his mind: the poor living in the slums, the civilians suffering in the war in Afghanistan, and the refugees surrounded by famine and war in Africa.
Finally, HYDRA's mission became clear in his mind, and looking at Chen Mo, Eric answered seriously.
"I want to liberate the poor and suffering people so that they can be freed from war, hunger, and poverty and live a peaceful life."
Looking at Eric Killmonger's compassionate face, Chen Mo couldn't reconcile him with the brutal war criminal in the movie. HYDRA had completely changed him, but obviously, it was much better for him than before.
He successfully became the King of Wakanda and was genuinely loved by his people, even more so than T'Chaka reigned for over thirty years.
Now he also has the ability to put his ideas into action and realize his great ideals step by step.
What do you want to do?
Chen Mo then asked.
Eric Killmonger thought for a while before answering.
"Those warlords who control armies are the root of war. To achieve world peace, they must all be eliminated!"
As Eric Killmonger spoke, his eyes sharpened.
"I plan to use Wakanda's powerful military strength to first eliminate all the hundreds and thousands of warlords, large and small, in Africa, completely eradicating the root cause of the war. Then I will target the warlords in Asia and South America and wipe them all out as well! I will restore peace to the world!"
Eric Killmonger became increasingly agitated as he spoke, his eyes gradually gleaming with fanaticism.
Seeing this, Chen Mo silently retracted his judgment of him and couldn't help but wonder if HYDRA's brainwashing method, which Eddie claimed was foolproof, had failed. This was clearly still the radical and fanatical warmonger from the movie!
Chen Mo's fingers twitched slightly as he secretly considered whether to take out the King's Sword and kill him with a single strike to prevent him from escaping HYDRA's control and endangering the world's safety.
Wakanda possesses incredibly powerful technology, almost comparable to HYDRA. If it falls into the hands of fanatical warmongers, it will undoubtedly bring immense destruction to the world!
