American Comics: Tales of Cultivator

Chapter 213: Battle of Wakanda (Part 2)

T'Challa sat on the Vibranium Throne in the center of the grand hall, touching the leopard-shaped matte armrest of the throne with a sigh.

After several months, he finally sat back in this position.

T'Challa's black robe was embroidered with Vibranium thread in Wakandan floral and bird patterns.

This was a gift his Father had given him for his coming-of-age ceremony...

A robe woven with Vibranium thread, which automatically generated a blue protective barrier when attacked...

When T'Challa escaped the Royal Palace, he didn't have time to bring this garment. His Guard had just found it inside the Palace.

T'Challa had never cared about the easily obtained Throne before, because it was destined to be his since birth.

People never cherish what they already possess.

Only after experiencing his Father's death, his cousin snatching the Black Panther Title from him, and his own failure and forced exile, did he understand the preciousness of this Throne.

In the center of the Royal Palace's grand hall, a Vibranium Seat was placed. A bald man was tied back to the Seat, his feet shackled to the chair, and his left hand was also securely locked by Shackles.

As for his right hand, the high-tech Satan Claw was currently being held by Deadpool nearby, who was examining it repeatedly. From time to time, he would show it off to Spider-Man next to him.

The two huddled together, whispering, their black compound eyes under their Tight Suits occasionally glancing at the Winter Soldier's Metal Prosthetic Limb nearby! Bucky, stripped to the waist and wrapped in thick Gauze, felt completely uncomfortable being stared at by the two men in tight suits, and couldn't help but shuffle sideways.

Deadpool and Spider-Man's eyes, however, seemed to follow him like a shadow.

Finally, Steve Rogers rescued him from this awkward situation.

"Baron Strucker! Long time no see. I didn't expect that seventy years later! Besides Bucky and Nick Fury, I'd still get to see an Old Friend!"

Steve Rogers, wearing a blue and white star-spangled Tight Suit, came before the bound Wolfgang von Strucker, looking at this "Old Friend" with a sigh! Although they were enemies, waking up after seventy years to a world completely changed, Steve still felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing a familiar face.

Of course, this didn't affect the force of his punch.

Baron Strucker lifted his bruised and swollen eyelids, looking at the somewhat blurry figure before him.

"Steve Rogers! You're still alive? Heh, I thought John had taken you away! Hiss!"

Baron Strucker let out a mocking cold laugh, which pulled at the wound at the corner of his mouth, making him gasp in pain.

This scoundrel, his actions were really ruthless! Baron Strucker glared at Steve Rogers!

That Red Skull was useless, why didn't he take this trouble with him when he died! "I couldn't figure it out before! After seeing you, I understand now. Perhaps it's because Hydra still exists, Strucker. I dealt with Red Skull, and I can also deal with you rising from the ashes!"

Steve held his Shield in one hand, his eyes under the Face Mask staring at Strucker, his tone deep.

He looked at Strucker, the familiar face giving him a feeling of being back in World War II. He looked around,

Unfortunately, besides Bucky, there were no familiar members of the Howling Commandos among his teammates.

He hadn't wanted to come to Wakanda this time.

Steve felt he hadn't yet understood the world after seventy years and couldn't distinguish right from wrong.

But Nick Fury told him that Bucky might be in danger.

Steve arrived just in time this time, bringing Tony Stark, Spider-Man, and Deadpool.

It was precisely because they arrived in time that they saved Black Widow and Winter Soldier.

The lineup of their rescue team was enough to fight an Avengers war.

And although Baron Strucker brought many people, they were at best just cannon fodder, truly miserable.

"Deal with us? On what basis? On your basis, an Old Soldier! Steve Rogers, this is no longer World War II, and you are no longer Captain America!"

Baron Strucker looked at Steve Rogers, letting out bursts of cold laughs,

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

With the wound at the corner of his mouth pulling, his cold laughs were accompanied by awkward gasping sounds.

"Hiss hiss—This time you were lucky. Falling into your hands, I have nothing to say!"

Baron Strucker was somewhat unconvinced. He turned his head to look at the scattered few people around him.

This was completely illogical. To prevent anyone from disrupting Hydra's Plan in Wakanda, the Manpower he brought were all Hydra's elite combat troops.

A forty-person Combat Team could launch a small-scale localized war in an African nation.

Not to mention, the King of Wakanda was their person, and they could mobilize Vibranium Jets and troops with Vibranium Weaponry at any time—

How could this situation possibly result in a loss! Unexpectedly, the Vibranium Jets and Wakandan troops he relied on had all rushed to the Wakanda Border for Reinforcements because the protective shield was broken.

Steve Rogers had directly led his people in a Decapitation Strike.

This scoundrel liked doing this back in World War II. Many of their Bases were taken down by him leading the Howling Commandos back then.

Damn it, the Armed Forces he brought were more than enough to deal with one Steve Rogers, but this scoundrel didn't know where he found so many freaks.

Baron Strucker looked at Winter Soldier, Black Widow, and the two vigilantes and Mercenaries in Tight Suits next to them.

Plus an Iron Man.

After looking around, he realized his loss was not unwarranted.

"Fuck you, Pierce,..."

He was probably going to fall here this time, Baron Strucker sighed in his Heart, but he didn't have much fear of Death.

"Hail Hydra!"

Baron Strucker looked directly at his Old Rival before him and silently shouted this slogan! "We won't let you die so easily. Tell me, did you kill my Father!"

T'Challa, wearing a black robe, rose from the Throne and came before Baron Strucker, grabbing his collar and asking fiercely.

"Your Father, you mean that Old Black Panther—"

Baron Strucker's eyes held mockery, "He was a troublesome guy. That Old Panther was much harder to deal with than you, Little Black Panther!"

"If we didn't kill him, how could we control Wakanda!"

"I'll kill you!" Hearing Baron Strucker personally admit that he killed his Father, T'Challa felt rage surge, and he raised his Fist to smash it towards his face.

Steve grabbed his arm.

"Don't be impulsive, Prince. He is a Witness. We still need him to deal with Hydra!"

T'Challa tried to pull his arm away forcefully, but Steve Rogers' large hand was like an iron clamp, locking him tightly.

After applying the special herbal juice, the power of the Heart-Shaped Herb in T'Challa's body had dissipated.

His current strength was no different from that of an Ordinary Person. Without wearing the Black Panther Suit, he couldn't resist Steve, who had been injected with the Super Serum.

After trying several times without breaking free from Steve's hand, he glared at Strucker hatefully and released his tightly clenched Fist.

Only then did Steve release his hand holding his wrist.

"You want to use me to deal with Hydra, Steve. You should understand the dignity of a Third Reich Old Soldier!"

Baron Strucker looked at Captain America with a cold laugh.

"No, I'm not interested in knowing that much. I'll hand you over to Nick Fury. You two are Old Rivals, you should understand him!"

Steve waved his hand.

"Nick Fury, that guy is indeed faking his Death!" Baron Strucker suddenly understood. He stared at Steve Rogers!

"Listen, Steve, I'll give you advice as someone who's been through it. The current Federation is not the one you're protecting. It's comparable to the resurgent Third Reich. If you truly serve it, you'll be disappointed!"

"We are different, Strucker. I'm not protecting the Federation, but the things I care about!"

Steve patted his Shield and retorted, "My Original Intention will not change, it will always be this way..."

Steve Rogers naturally took over the Command Authority of this coup team from Black Widow.

After capturing Strucker, this important Witness, his first action was to have T'Challa contact and control the General of the Garrison troops in the Wakandan Capital.

Then he sent the King's Female Guards to contact the Elders of several Tribes and have them rush to the Royal Palace...

Just as he was arranging all this in an orderly manner.

"Hey! Listen up, everyone, we're in big trouble!"

Tony Stark, who had been in the Research Lab studying Wakandan technology, arrived at the grand hall with Shuri, speaking to the crowd inside with a heavy tone:

"After Wakanda's protective shield broke, the Allied Forces took the opportunity to attack. If we don't find a way to solve this, Wakanda and the Allied Forces will likely fall into a full-scale war!"

"Does anyone have a way?"

Tony Stark glanced around at everyone present.

"The Federal Army, impossible. How could they possibly defeat Wakanda's elite strength!"

Hearing Tony Stark's words, T'Challa was somewhat disbelieving.

"It's true, Brother. I saw it clearly on the surveillance. The Federal Army deployed a large brown brute and some Special Forces wearing Exoskeleton Armor! N'Jadaka and the Border Tribe people are being steadily pushed back!"

"We have to stop the war from escalating further!" Tony Stark spread his hands, looking at Captain America, who was leading.

"Very troublesome?!" Captain America furrowed his eyebrows.

Tony Stark pouted, unable to control his emotions towards this suddenly appearing "Uncle".

"Yes, very troublesome. I don't know if Nick Fury told this old gentleman, but once Wakanda and the Allied Forces fall into a full-scale war, this Country is bound to be destroyed, but Wakanda's desperate counterattack will definitely cause significant Casualties to countries around the world!"

"Believe me, I just looked at their technology. They have the Ability to do that!" Steve touched his Shield and raised his head.

"Since it's because of that broken protective shield, then we'll fix the protective shield! Let things return to how they were!"

Tony Stark's tone became somewhat helpless: "First, we have to drive out the Federal Army that invaded Wakanda. Let me make it clear, I can't intervene in this matter~"

"It's not just me, this is a war between the Federation and Wakanda. If we don't want to be charged with Treason, we need to find a way!"

"I'll go!" Bucky looked at the troubled crowd and volunteered.

Treason, Winter Soldier clearly didn't care.

"You alone aren't enough! We need to first repel that large brown brute, and leave the rest for the Wakandans to solve themselves!"

Tony Stark turned his head and looked at a certain person in the Corner who was secretly stuffing Vibranium Ornaments into his Clothes.

Deadpool had just stuffed a Vibranium Button into his Pocket and was touching a pillar in the grand hall, considering whether to scrape off some gold powder, when he turned around and everyone's gaze was on him.

"Why are you looking at me? Although I'm a Mercenary, I hold a Federal Passport, and I still have a mortgage to pay..."

Deadpool shook his head frantically after hearing Tony Stark's words.

"Five million! After the matter is over, we will find a way to clear your Name!"

Deadpool hesitated upon hearing Tony Stark's conditions...

"I can also give you an extra kilogram of Vibranium Ore!..."

"Deal!"

Hearing T'Challa's words, Deadpool immediately agreed, eager to rush to the front lines and fight the so-called brown brute desperately.

.........

At the Wakanda Border, a brutal war was breaking out.

Not long ago, Erik Killmonger took the Throne. To win the Public Support of the Wakandans.

He actively ignited the flames of war...

It happened that the Vibranium in a Wakandan Reserve Warehouse was looted, and Wakanda had been invaded multiple times. The rage in the hearts of the Wakandan people had accumulated for a long time.

Meanwhile, T'Chaka and T'Challa had always adopted an appeasement policy towards the outside world.

In the eyes of some warlike Wakandans, the Former King appeared too weak towards the outside.

Hydra, behind Erik, also deeply understood the importance of Public Support.

They needed to build momentum for Killmonger, the New King, and also allow the Wakandan people's rage to be vented.

Otherwise, their rage could burn the Wakandan upper echelon at any time.

The Security Council Allied Forces outside Wakanda were undoubtedly the best way to vent.

Killmonger had just ascended the Throne and launched an undeclared war against the Allied Forces.

Using Vibranium Jets, he caught the Allied Forces off guard. Vibranium Jets flew out of Wakanda's energy protection shield one after another.

They almost instantly seized Air Superiority. Not a single Allied Forces aircraft could appear in the Radar Range of the Vibranium Jets.

Having lost Air Superiority, the Allied Forces' ground troops were also suffering.

Vibranium Pulse Electromagnetic Bombs easily destroyed the Allied Forces' electronic and mechanical troops.

Most of the Allied Forces' cutting-edge armored units and tank divisions instantly lost their effectiveness.

Facing the Wakandans with Full Firepower, the Allied Forces had no power to fight back.

In less than half a day, the Allied Forces were forced to retreat seventy miles, suffering nearly three thousand Casualties.

Most of these were captured.

The information reached the World Security Council Headquarters, causing an uproar.

Alexander Pierce, the Secretary-General of the World Security Council and S.H.I.E.L.D. Director, urgently contacted the representatives of the five countries and held a video conference.

There was only one topic: Send Reinforcements, Send Reinforcements to Wakanda.

The first to respond was the Federation.

Their Reinforcement Speed was also the fastest, with two mixed Divisions directly airlifted to Africa.

Also heading to the Battlefield with the mixed Divisions were Air Force Lieutenant General Ross, known as the "Thunderbolt General," and his Secret Weapon.

...…

However, due to the existence of Wakanda's energy protection shield, the Allied Forces were always in a passive position against the Wakandans.

The Wakandans would occasionally launch a Sneak Attack on the Allied Forces, and once the Allied Forces counterattacked, they would retreat back inside the protective shield...

This gave the Allied Forces a significant headache.

The tables turned, and this time Wakanda's protective shield was damaged for some unknown reason.

This gave the Allied Forces an opportunity.

Northern Wakandan Jungle, less than thirty miles from the Wakanda Border.

In a Camouflage Command Post covered with branches, General Ross was observing the situation in the Jungle via drone.

Several Operations Staff Officers were analyzing the Battlefield parameters.

Trees as thick as a person's waist in the Jungle were toppled over, some even uprooted.

A brown monster nearly four meters tall snapped a tree trunk as thick as a bucket in his hand with a crunch and held it.

His ferocious appearance, bulging Muscles, and body covered in Spikes made him look like a Giant from mythology.

This was General Ross's Secret Weapon, a Super Soldier injected with a certain mutated Serum.

General Ross had two purposes for coming to Wakanda: one was to build his reputation to become the Minister of Defense.

The other was to test the Ability of his Super Soldier, so he could use it to capture another "Monster".

Due to someone's unexpected interference, although General Ross successfully Replicated Abomination using the Hulk's Serum, he had never been able to corner Banner, his nominal son-in-law.

Now he had directly brought Abomination to the Wakandan Battlefield to test his new Weapon.

"Little bugs, your skin is very thick!"

Emil Blonsky's eyes, like brass bells, widened as he looked mockingly at his Prey.

On the Ground before him, the New King of Wakanda was limping, dragging his War Spear, dodging the tree stumps thrown at him.

The King's Armor was stained with Blood, though most of it was not his own.

It belonged to his Guard, his supporters from the Border Tribe.

An hour ago, Killmonger, leading a team of Wakandan Soldiers, had personally led the charge and routed a full Company of the Federal Army.

Wakanda's unique Vibranium Armor made Killmonger, the New King, invulnerable to Saber and Spear. Coupled with Wakanda's Vibranium Weaponry, facing Ordinary Federal troops was simply a one-sided slaughter...

But the appearance of Abomination reversed the roles of Hunter and Prey.

The Strength of this Monster before him was simply too Formidable. His immense Strength and super Healing Factor.

He had never seen such a powerful existence. The holes opened in his Body by the Vibranium Spear would heal in a few breaths.

And this Monster's Strength, as seen from the large trees he just broke and threw, was simply monstrous.

He directly grabbed a White Rhino covered in Vibranium Plate Armor with one hand, forcibly threw it to the Ground, and punched through the Abdomen of the White Rhino, which wasn't covered by Vibranium Plate Armor...

Killmonger felt a terrible pain in his Leg...

His Leg was dislocated. Although the Vibranium Armor could resist most Attacks,

After two hours of chasing, fleeing, and fighting, facing this terrifying Big Guy, even after consuming the Heart-Shaped Herb to enhance his physique, he felt he couldn't hold on any longer.

Killmonger raised his War Spear, and a blue Energy Shockwave smashed towards Abomination. Abomination raised his arm, blocking himself with a thick tree trunk. The Energy Shockwave hit the tree trunk, sending wood chips flying.

"Bang"

Abomination Leaped over ten meters and punched towards Killmonger.

His ferocious Fist, in terms of Impact Force, was no less than an Armor-Piercing Round from a Tank.

Outside Killmonger's Armor, a layer of Energy Shield, like a sound wave, helped him block this swift and dangerous Fist.

"This is the marvel of Vibranium. If Blonsky were fitted with a layer of Vibranium Armor, that green-skinned guy would definitely not be his Rival!"

Inside the Command Post, General Ross clapped his hands and muttered to himself.

The Vibranium Armor was the crystallization of Wakanda's advanced technology, a defensive Equipment with multiple functions. The Energy Shield it deployed completely absorbed Abomination's Shockwave.

It was precisely by relying on it that Killmonger had escaped Death from Abomination's Hands time and time again.

Bang! Although Killmonger relied on the Vibranium Armor to withstand most of the Impact Force, he was sent flying like a bowling ball.

"Roar!"

Abomination looked at Killmonger, who seemed impossible to kill, and malicious thoughts surged in his Heart. With a Leaping step, he Leaped over ten meters and chased after him.
