Forces Arrive at Wakanda

After T'Chaka personally killed the heretic Black Panther, he heard the gunshots outside the abandoned factory gradually fade. Knowing the mercenaries would soon be cleared out by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, he no longer lingered. He quickly rushed back to the rooftop and called for his daughter.

"Shuri, descend and open the hatch."

Shuri was still dazed, white foam at the corner of her mouth. Receiving the call, Lin Hao lowered the aircraft and opened the hatch.

Who says waiting for a rabbit by a stump is useless?

Didn't I just catch a big black rabbit!

Seeing the aircraft descend with its hatch wide open, T'Chaka didn't even think twice. He bent his knees, pushed off the ground, and jumped aboard.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Conqueror's Haki hit him head-on.

Splat.

T'Chaka, clad in his Vibranium suit, crashed onto the floor. His armor could only absorb kinetic impact; it couldn't negate attacks that struck directly at the spirit.

"Using Conqueror's Haki for a sneak attack is so convenient!"

Lin Hao liked it more and more. For someone like him with an agent identity, the effect of Conqueror's Haki to incapacitate people was truly convenient.

For targets like T'Chaka, who wore Vibranium armor, bricks and baseball bats were completely ineffective. But with Conqueror's Haki, as long as the target's own strength wasn't enough, no matter how thick the armor or how deep they hid, it was a guaranteed hit.

Not to mention, Conqueror's Haki could also be used for special effects, amplifying attack power.

After catching this big black rabbit, Lin Hao piloted the aircraft towards the Pacific Ocean. After flying over four thousand kilometers, he saw a floating Ring Fortress at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

Zheng Xian had been waiting there after receiving Lin Hao's transmission, piloting the Ring Fortress.

Thanks to Lin Hao's involvement, S.P.E.A.R.'s current Ring Fortress was more advanced than in the original story. Its propulsion not only included jet engines but also utilized the levitation technology from the Dragon Ball world.

Not only was it faster and more stable, but its noise was also extremely low. With its energy shields and optical camouflage activated, it was completely silent and untraceable.

The aircraft taxied into the fortress's hangar, where Zheng Xian and medical personnel were already waiting.

Ivan, covered in blood, was taken away by the medical staff, while Lin Hao personally brought T'Chaka and his daughter Shuri down.

"Yu Zhen, take a team to dismantle the aircraft," Lin Hao instructed the deputy director of the Technical Development Department. "The engine, power source, operating system, and stealth technology of this aircraft are all worth studying."

"Understood. I guarantee we'll learn from it in the fastest possible time." Yu Zhen led a group of white-coated individuals armed with various tools and quickly dismantled the Wakandan aircraft into parts.

"Are you really going to attack Wakanda?" Zheng Xian asked.

"Do you know how much Vibranium Wakanda has?" Lin Hao answered his own question. "An entire mountain range of Vibranium ore, and of extremely high purity."

"Later, we'll do the same as always. I'll play the good cop, and you play the bad cop. I'll go up first and stage a 'Black Ship Attack,' then you come over and shout 'Hold your hand!' We'll then sign a lease agreement, and from now on, we'll split the Vibranium mine seventy-thirty..."

"You want thirty percent?" Zheng Xian asked in surprise.

"Thirty percent is theirs. If I go through all this trouble for just thirty percent, wouldn't that make me a beggar?" Lin Hao put on an act, as if giving them thirty percent was a great act of kindness from Old Master Lin.

"Will they agree?" Zheng Xian wore an expression similar to an old man looking at his phone on the subway.

"If they don't agree, I'll wake up their Black Panther God and expose what this old guy just did in San Francisco," Lin Hao said, shaking T'Chaka, whom he held in his right hand.

A man who would even deceive his own deity to maintain his power. Lin Hao was confident he could make him bleed, otherwise, another tribe could be put in charge.

"What did he do?" Zheng Xian hadn't seen what happened in the abandoned factory outside San Francisco.

"This old guy was burying his head in the sand. He went to San Francisco and killed a Black man who could transform into the Black Panther," Lin Hao replied.

"Will Foster?" As the director of S.P.E.A.R., Zheng Xian was naturally aware of the recent racial discrimination issues in America. He looked at Lin Hao with a question in his eyes. "Your plan?"

"Yes, a tool," Lin Hao admitted.

Zheng Xian didn't ask any further questions.

"Director, if I really wake up the Black Panther God, you'll have to bring the 'Holy Spear' to back me up," Lin Hao said with a fawning smile.

Zheng Xian shot him a glance, as if seeing through his little scheme, and finally nodded.

Vibranium had many effects and wide applications, making it extremely valuable. The five major powers fought tooth and nail every year for the small amounts Wakanda leaked, and intelligence agencies from various countries tried every means to spy on Wakanda, but the conclusions they reached were consistent with Wakanda's public statements.

Now that they had discovered Wakanda was hiding something, and S.P.E.A.R. had caught them by their weak point, there was no reason to remain indifferent.

Zheng Xian quickly reported to his direct superior and obtained permission to act.

Through this test, Lin Hao finally confirmed that the "Spear of Imhotep" transmitted by Zhang Heng was indeed still in S.P.E.A.R.'s possession.

With this "Holy Spear" as a backup, Lin Hao would have more confidence to take risks in the future.

Thus, the Ring Fortress flew southwest, crossed the Pacific Ocean, and headed straight for East Africa in the Indian Ocean.

Zheng Xian returned to his office and announced to all the agents in the fortress, "From now on, Level 9 Agent 'Great Demon King' will take over command of the fortress. All departments are to cooperate fully."

Not all of S.P.E.A.R.'s 150,000 agents could stay on the Ring Fortress. This time, Zheng Xian only brought a group of absolutely trustworthy personnel to ensure there were no moles planted by other forces.

Upon hearing that "Great Demon King" had reappeared, a wave of whispers swept through the fortress.

"The 'Great Demon King' is on another mission?"

"Who's the unlucky one this time?"

"Poor kid, who did they have to offend? They had to offend our Great Demon King. Don't they know the Great Demon King holds grudges?"

Lin Hao, wearing a metallic mask, adjusted his voice and issued orders to the fortress via holographic projection: "Set the engine and shield power to maximum. Everyone prepare for impact."

And so, the massive Ring Fortress plummeted downwards with an unstoppable momentum, executing a "Planet Throw" and smashing towards Wakanda's capital's energy shield.

Two transparent energy shields collided, emitting a deafening roar louder than thunder on a clear day.

The energy shield of the Ring Fortress flickered incessantly, and Wakanda's shield wasn't faring much better. The illusion of a desolate grassland trembled, occasionally revealing the towering skyscrapers within.

An ear-piercing alarm sounded in the Wakandan capital, enveloped by the energy shield. Citizens looked up, astonished to see a colossal fortress appear in the sky.

With King T'Chaka and Princess Shuri absent, Queen Ramonda and Prince T'Challa's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"This fortress..." Ramonda found it somewhat familiar, but couldn't recall where she'd seen it. It seemed she'd glimpsed it on her husband's desk once.

Wakanda possessed the most advanced technology on Earth in the current era. Through surveillance satellites, it gathered intelligence from all over the world.

Princess Shuri, a genius scientist, had leveraged the unique properties of Vibranium to develop Wakanda's proprietary technology, propelling the nation's technological level forward by a significant margin.

"Mother, the radar gave no prior warning. The enemy's camouflage is extremely sophisticated."

Although T'Challa had secretly consumed the Heart-Shaped Herb with his father's tacit approval, he wasn't adept with technology and couldn't fully operate the central control system designed by his sister. He could only let the system execute its pre-programmed defensive counterattacks.

"Father and Shuri are not here, we must defend the capital."

Ramonda decisively ordered, "Send word to the five major tribes, have them dispatch troops back for defense."

However, before they could finalize their defensive preparations, a thick laser beam descended from the sky, striking Wakanda's shield. After holding steady for several tens of seconds, it forcefully blasted a hole through it.

"This turtle shell is damn tough. No wonder Director Mie could only use cannon fodder to break through it..." Lin Hao muttered to himself.

Once the opening was created, seven-meter-tall "Pacifiers" began to descend en masse from the fortress's opened hangar bay.

Director Lin had arrived at the "Lighthouse of Africa."

The "Pacifiers" would bring true peace to Wakanda.
