"White Ape" M'Baku!

After T'Challa conceded defeat, Eric Killmonger waved for T'Chaka and Zuri to get up and step aside, while T'Challa was helped to his feet by two female warriors.

Therefore, M'Baku and the others, who had just emerged from the cave, did not see the former king, high priest, and prince of Kingdom of Wakanda kneeling at the same time. They were unaware of the series of events that had occurred before and knew nothing about Eric Killmonger's strength.

M'Baku's fierce gaze slowly swept over the group standing by the pool.

"We saw and heard it all from up in the mountains!"

"We watched helplessly as you allowed a child to oversee technological progress!"

Pointing the huge, heavy club at Princess Shuri, Shuri, who had never seen anything like it before, was so frightened that she dared not move and was extremely flustered. Fortunately, two female warriors of the Royal Guard who were supporting T'Challa standing next to her raised their spears in time to block her, which prevented her from collapsing to the ground in fear.

The warriors of the Jabari Tribe are all incredibly fierce. As their leader and the most powerful warrior in the tribe, M'Baku's aura is even more formidable and terrifying, easily frightening a little girl like Shuri.

M'Baku gave Princess Shuri a cold look, her face pale with fright, and ignored the two royal guards who were pointing their spears at him. He then turned to look at the group of elders standing below the cliff.

"And now you're handing this country over to an outsider! He's never even been to Wakanda before!"

"You have destroyed all of Wakanda's precious traditions!"

As M'Baku spoke, he turned his gaze to Eric Killmonger, who was still standing in the pool.

"Since you've made him the new king, then I'll see if he's truly qualified!"

M'Baku strode up to Eric, intending to look down at him as usual, but found that Eric was actually much taller than him. If the warriors of the Jabari Tribe were like Dwayne Johnson, then M'Baku's physique was comparable to Shaquille O'Neal, or even more robust. So M'Baku had always been used to looking down at everyone.

But today, he encountered Eric Killmonger, a warrior even taller and stronger than himself!

Eric Killmonger was already nearly two meters tall, and after being modified with the Enhanced Super Soldier Serum, he reached an astonishing two and a half meters!

Everyone standing next to him could only look up at him, including M'Baku, whose physique was already quite imposing; he was still half a head shorter than him!

In addition, his bulging, incredibly strong muscles further demonstrated the immense power he possessed.

This greatly lessened the discontent of the Jabari Tribe, who still maintained their primitive state and worshipped strength, including M'Baku, towards Eric Killmonger, the suddenly emerging new king.

Previously, he seemed to meet their requirements for a king, possessing great strength. However, strength is not just about physique; we'll only know for sure after a fight.

Raising his head slightly, M'Baku stared at Eric Killmonger, who was half a head taller than him, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

"I, M'Baku, the chieftain of the Jabari Tribe, challenge you!"

As the strongest warrior of the Jabari Tribe, M'Baku has not encountered a worthy opponent for a long time. He longs for a powerful and equally matched opponent, so that he can fully unleash the immense power within his body and fight with all his might, even if he is defeated.

Having immense strength but being unable to unleash it fully left him feeling incredibly frustrated and uncomfortable.

But standing proudly before him, Eric Killmonger, with his imposing stature, ignited an unprecedentedly strong fighting desire within him. The astonishing aura emanating from that Iron Giant's powerful body made his blood boil.

This is a truly powerful warrior, this is the opponent he has always longed for!

Seeing the fanatical look in M'Baku's eyes, burning with intense fighting spirit, Eric Killmonger's eyes flashed with a strange expression, and he nodded slightly.

"M'Baku, I accept your challenge."

With another major battle about to begin, Princess Shuri had no time to worry about such things; she was in a hurry to send T'Challa her laboratory for treatment.

His injuries were serious, and delay could lead to complications, but the warriors of the Jabari Tribe, armed with spears, stood firmly in front of them, preventing them from leaving.

However, according to tradition, they should indeed be present to witness the tribal members' challenge to the king.

Just as Princess Shuri turned purple with anger, Eric Killmonger waved to the two female warriors supporting T'Challa, signaling them to step aside. Although Shuri wanted to object, it was to no avail, and she could only angrily follow them back down the cliff.

She now only hopes that the two will finish fighting quickly, preferably to the point of mutual destruction and serious injury!

I would never treat them!

Even if we do treat them, we should make them wait a little longer!

M'Baku had actually seen T'Challa being supported by two female warriors long ago. Judging from his appearance, he had clearly lost his duel with the new king Eric Killmonger, and was seriously injured.

He had some understanding of T'Challa's strength. Without the Heart-shaped herb to enhance him, T'Challa was slightly weaker than him, but the difference wasn't too great. If he played well, he could very well defeat him.

T'Challa should have been a formidable opponent, but he consumed the Heart-shaped herb and gained power from the Panther God, causing his strength to surge. M'Baku, despite his formidable strength, was still an ordinary human without any enhancements and was no match for Black Panther.

M'Baku was very clear about the rules of the pool challenge: Black Panther had to remove the enhancement from the Heart-shaped herb and return the powerful force bestowed upon him by the Panther God before he could accept the challenge. Therefore, T'Challa at this time should only have the strength before the enhancement, which meant he was slightly weaker than him. Eric Killmonger was able to defeat him and seriously injure him, which clearly meant that he was much stronger than T'Challa. This made M'Baku even more eager to see his strength.

Eric Killmonger glanced at High Priest Zuri then realized what was happening. He quickly retrieved the spear he had thrown away from the water, walked to the two men, and after confirming that they were both ready, he raised the spear and slammed it heavily onto the ground, shouting in a deep voice.

"The challenge begins!"

"Bang!"

No sooner had Zuri speaking than M'Baku charged forward, brandishing his weapon.

The large weapon in his hand looked very simple, made entirely from a single piece of some kind of hard wood. It resembled a large spear, with one end sharpened into a pointed tip, while the other end was a heavy, round hammer the size of a child's head. It could be used for both stabbing and smashing, and when wielded by M'Baku's immense strength, it was quite powerful, capable of shattering a person's skull with a single blow.

At this moment, M'Baku, who was charging towards Eric Killmonger, swung his weapon and smashed the mace at Eric. Most people would have no choice but to dodge when faced with such a heavy weapon.

Even the Black Panther, strengthened by the Heart-shaped herb, dared not take this hammer blow head-on. If this powerful hammer had hit his head, even if it hadn't blown off his head, he would definitely have lost his fighting ability in a short time.

But Eric didn't move as the Speed hurtled towards him. As the heavy blow was about to hit his head, the onlookers couldn't help but hold their breath for their new king.

If that hammer blow lands squarely, it will definitely blow your head off, smashing your entire skull!

Princess Shuri covered her eyes in horror, afraid of witnessing the horrific sight of brains splattering everywhere. She could save someone whose spine was broken, but she couldn't save someone whose head had exploded.

The hammer had already slammed down on Eric Killmonger's head, less than half a meter away. It was too late to dodge now. A look of disappointment appeared in M'Baku's eyes. He had thought he was a strong opponent, but he turned out to be so easily defeated.

Just when everyone thought he was about to have his head smashed open and die a gruesome death on the spot, a thick arm suddenly reached out from under the heavy hammer, and a palm as big as a fan grabbed the Hammerhead and firmly fixed it there.

A heavy blow that could shatter rocks was caught by him so casually that everyone stared wide-eyed in disbelief. How could this be possible?

Just how strong is he? Are his hands made of steel?

Before the equally shocked M'Baku could react, Eric Killmonger yanked the spear away from M'Baku's hand with his left hand, which was holding the hammer, and threw it aside.

Then, Eric Killmonger strode forward, grabbed M'Baku by the neck, and lifted him up with his arms, raising him off the ground.

M'Baku realized what was happening and struggled desperately, but the large hand gripping his neck was like a pair of pliers, holding him firmly. The thick arm was like cast iron, and no matter how hard he struggled, it was to no avail; he couldn't budge it an inch.

"Do you admit defeat?"

I thought it would be a fierce battle, but it ended in just a few seconds.

The formidable "White Ape" M'Baku was instantly killed by Eric Killmonger!

The onlookers on the cliff were still somewhat stunned. They had just thought that Eric Killmonger would have his head smashed by M'Baku's hammer, but the situation had suddenly reversed in an instant, which was beyond their ability to accept.

But the next moment, everyone's gaze toward Eric Killmonger turned fervent.

The mighty M'Baku was as fragile as a newborn infant before their great King Eric Killmonger. He easily parried a heavy blow that could have instantly killed any warrior and captured M'Baku. Just as he had easily defeated the Black Panther before, their king's power was simply too great!

Eric was unaware of the fervent and reverent gazes his people were giving him. Seeing that M'Baku was still struggling and showed no sign of giving up, a cold glint flashed in Eric's eyes, and he lifted him up and walked directly to the edge of the pool.

Beyond the pool lies a sheer cliff!
