Wakanda.
T'Challa and Shuri watched as Okoye had just received an injection of Physical Enhancement Serum, walked out of the Laboratory.
Feeling the power coursing through his body, Okoye exclaimed, "This is incredible!"
"I never imagined that one day I would possess such power."
T'Challa nodded. Having taken the Heart-Shaped Grass and the Physical Enhancement Serum, he knew even better how powerful the Physical Enhancement Serum was.
In terms of strength and speed, the enhancement from the Physical Enhancement Serum is greater than that from the Heart-Shaped Grass, but having taken both, he knew that the enhancement from the Heart-Shaped Grass was more than that.
After consuming the Heart-Shaped Grass, one's strength, speed, and endurance are enhanced; however, this enhancement can be removed.
Furthermore, T'Challa discovered a problem: as the Physical Enhancement Serum strengthened his body, his physical strength continued to increase. At first, he thought it was a side effect of the Physical Enhancement Serum, but after discussing it with his sister Shuri, he learned that she only received an enhancement when using it and did not continue to become stronger like him.
On the contrary, his father, who had used the Heart-Shaped Grass, experienced the same effects after taking the Physical Enhancement Serum, which made him realize that the effects of the Heart-Shaped Grass were not as simple as he had previously thought.
It can be said that the combination of the Heart-Shaped Grass and the Physical Enhancement Serum resulted in a synergistic effect where T'Challa's strength was greater than the sum of its parts.
T'Challa, however, was unaware that the Heart-Shaped Grass was actually a wondrous object connecting his ancestors with the Wakanda Panther God Buster. The so-called enhanced power was bestowed upon believers by Panther God Bast, and the amount of power received depended on the user's constitution, with the First Hokage Black Panther being the most powerful.
As the Physical Enhancement Serum strengthened T'Challa's physique, allowing him to absorb more of the Panther God's power, his strength was further amplified.
To T'Challa's dismay, however, his father would soon pass the Black Panther position to him and administer an inhibitor to remove the effects of the Heart-Shaped Grass.
In Wakanda's tradition, once the position of Black Panther has been fully passed down, it is not permissible for two Black Panther to exist and serve the Panther God at the same time. Only during the training period are two Black Panther, one old and one new, allowed to coexist. Once the position is determined, the previous generation of Black Panther will pass on the title and take an inhibitor to remove the effects of the Heart-Shaped Grass.
T'Challa looked at Okoye and said, "Get used to this power. Don't let your men surpass you."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Okoye knew that the prince had purchased thirty vials of the potion from the Sunagakure Puppet Shop, and had subsequently ordered one hundred more, meaning that in the future, there would be other people in Wakanda who would have the opportunity to take the Physical Enhancement Serum.
He didn't know when it would be his lover's turn. W'Kabi taking Physical Enhancement Serum, but given his lover's status and position in Wakanda, he would get his share sooner or later.
T'Challa continued, "The King has decided to hold a competition within the Royal Guard to select the nine strongest warriors, who will then be injected with Physical Enhancement Serum."
Okoye smiled and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Just then, a member of the guard entered and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Captain, the King summons you. He is waiting for you in the main hall."
Upon hearing the king summon them, the three of them did not hesitate and immediately headed towards the palace.
On the way Shuri asked curiously, "Brother, what happened that made Father call the three of us over immediately?"
T'Challa shook his head. "I don't know, but we'll find out when we get there."
The three of them soon arrived at the palace.
"Father!" x2
"His Majesty!"
T'Chaka nodded when he saw the three arrive.
At that moment, the defense commander and military minister, W'Kabi, was also there. The instant T'Challa saw W'Kabi, he had a bad feeling.
T'Chaka began, "W'Kabi, tell them what happened."
W'Kabi nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Defense Commander and Military Minister W'Kabi looked at the three men and then saluted T'Challa and Shuri:
"Your Highness, Your Highness"
T'Challa looked at W'Kabi and asked, "What happened, W'Kabi?"
"Our Wakanda capital, which we built on the border as a decoy, is now under attack by numerous armed groups and mercenaries."
"These people are well-equipped and have heavy weapons such as armed helicopters, tanks, and armored vehicles."
"They have already entered the city and are advancing towards the Royal Palace."
Upon hearing W'Kabi's words, both Okoye and T'Challa were taken aback. For many years, since Wakanda quietly established its own technological kingdom, it had not suffered a proper military attack, not even on its borders which were used for deception.
Upon hearing this news, Shuri immediately went to the computer next to him, opened the virtual screen and started operating it. Soon, the situation of the war at the border appeared before everyone's eyes.
A large number of fully armed mercenaries were seen walking along the road, firing their guns at anyone who resisted or was armed.
Tanks moved along the roads, and Wakanda's police station was a major target of artillery fire. Attack helicopters circled overhead, occasionally launching missiles to eliminate Wakanda's army.
The entire country was engulfed in smoke and flames of war.
Shuri's jaw dropped. "My God, they really were attacked there!"
"Father, send troops. The people there are also subjects of Wakanda."
The border is used as a cover; in reality, very few people actually belong to Wakanda —in fact, very few. The majority are Black people who have come from other parts of Africa to develop and live there.
Only a small group of high-ranking officials truly belong to Wakanda and know the truth about Wakanda; the rest are not the true people of Wakanda.
T'Chaka looked at his son and asked, "T'Challa, why do you think the enemy attacked there?"
It's important to know that Wakanda is a very poor country that doesn't accept donations. Apart from a small number of armed groups with ulterior motives showing interest in it, the country has always been quite stable.
Looking at the considerable number of Armed Force, T'Challa thought for a moment and said, "They're probably here for Vibranium."
"And I suspect that the other party has the same motive as the America businessman who attacked us last time?"
"Or rather, they are a group of people."
T'Chaka nodded, then asked, "Do you think these people are connected to S.H.I.E.L.D.."
T'Challa shook his head and then said, "It should be fine. If it were S.H.I.E.L.D.., they wouldn't send a force like this, and we haven't been exposed."
T'Chaka nodded and said, "Yes, your analysis is correct. It seems that group from last time is still not giving up."
