Chapitre 222: Chapter 222: Superman vs. Deity!
"Boom boom boom!" Explosions echoed throughout Wakanda, and it was undeniable that Wakanda's laser weapons were quite powerful, especially those fighter jets. The lasers they emitted were even more powerful than any Clark had seen before!
But no matter how powerful a weapon is, if it can't hit its target, it's useless. Tony Stark knew this all too well. He now faced the challenge of keeping up with the speedsters. Lasers are indeed fast, much faster than bullets, and for ordinary people, there's no time to dodge or react. But for Clark, as long as he wishes to dodge, most attacks in the world can't hit him!
What? Superman actually dodged?!
"Bang!" Superman, having dodged a series of laser attacks, threw another punch at the energy barrier. With a muffled sound, the entire energy barrier violently distorted but ultimately held strong against Clark's punch and didn't break on the spot!
"Eh? Interesting!" Clark's eyes flashed with surprise. He had seen energy shields before, but he thought the defensive power of this energy barrier might be even stronger than Robert's qi barrier. He wondered what the energy source of this energy barrier could be.
Subconsciously, Clark looked towards the heart of Wakanda, but he couldn't see through Wakanda in one glance. Many similar energy barriers blocked all sight, not giving Clark the chance to spy.
Even so, Clark still saw a vast expanse of Vibranium mines underground, far exceeding his expectations. If all this Vibranium were to spread out, its market value would absolutely plummet!
"Eh? What's that?" However, Clark's attention was quickly drawn to another place. There, he saw a field of oddly shaped grass that seemed to hide some mysterious power, even Clark couldn't see through it. He faintly felt that these grasses were connected to some existence!
Heart-shaped herb! The special source of power for Wakanda's rulers, those of the royal family who consume the heart-shaped herb can gain superhuman senses, strength, speed, endurance, reaction, and even resistance to magical forces!
And most importantly, the heart-shaped herb allows communication with Wakanda's native deities, one of their beliefs, the Panther God Bast. It's because of Bast's protective power that each Black Panther can possess extraordinary strength and rule over Wakanda for so long...
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
As Clark was attracted by the heart-shaped herb, a series of lasers once again shot towards him, making Clark frown. These lasers really couldn't hurt him, but this continuous shooting was quite annoying.
When wearing Superman's vest, Clark tries his best to control himself, not like that day in the bar when he tore down a skyscraper after a conflict with a drunkard. But Clark felt that merely dodging couldn't make the people of Wakanda stop...
"Swish!" With that thought, Clark's figure disappeared on the spot. This time, he didn't continue to strike the energy barrier but appeared next to a fighter jet, grabbing it.
The fighter jet also had components made of Vibranium, but it wasn't so extravagant to be made entirely out of Vibranium. Even with Wakanda's astounding reserves of Vibranium, they still didn't choose to do so, because some parts aren't suitable for construction with Vibranium...
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Clark's eyes easily identified which parts were Vibranium and which were not, thus effortlessly, he damaged some parts of the fighter jet and threw them down.
The remaining fighter jets didn't escape the same fate. The pilots inside were disoriented, but Clark had no intention of killing them, so they only sustained minor injuries and didn't die.
"His speed is too fast, and his body seems very tough. His hands can even break through metals other than Vibranium. What is his body made of? Could those outsiders be right? Is he really a deity?" Princess Shuri watched Clark's battle performance, murmuring incredulously.
Princess Shuri hadn't consumed the heart-shaped herb or truly witnessed or felt the power of the Panther God Bast. But she felt that Clark being called a god by many on Earth wasn't without reason because his performance truly resembled that of a deity.
"Father, do we really want to be enemies with such a being?" Princess Shuri's eyes flickered with hesitation, whispering, "Based on his actions, he really doesn't seem malicious. He didn't attack our pilots inside the jets..."
"Silence! We've come this far, do you want me to call for a truce? What difference is there between such a truce and surrender?" T'Chaka interrupted Princess Shuri's words, speaking irritably, "What do you think, will the people below agree? Won't those tribes have opinions?"
"But, against such a deity, we are no match! Our weapons may be powerful, but they can't pose a threat to him..." Princess Shuri frowned, analyzing rationally.
"Silence! What deity is he? Only the gods of Wakanda are real gods! The gods of Wakanda will protect us. Such a false god threatening our Wakanda must be led to destruction!" Hearing Princess Shuri repeatedly emphasizing that Clark might be a deity, T'Chaka became angry. For him, only their own belief in gods counted as real gods. Clark, in this case, could only be considered a false god!
"Our gods? But do our gods really exist? Can they intervene?" Princess Shuri's eyes held some hesitation. Although she was a genius scientist, she wasn't opposed to belief in deities. She had never seen any miracles demonstrated by their gods.
As for the heart-shaped herb allowing communication with the Panther God Bast, Princess Shuri had also studied this. She felt it was merely hallucinations produced by the faith of generations of Black Panthers. After all, Wakanda doesn't only have the Panther God Bast; there are also the Gorilla God, Crocodile God, Lion God, and Hyena God. If it wasn't for the hallucinations of generations of Black Panthers, then the Black Panthers should also be able to see other gods, theoretically, since these gods are supposed to be together...
But unfortunately, there are only records of each Black Panther seeing the Panther God Bast. As for other gods, they seem to not exist at all.
"Hmph! You'll see soon enough!" T'Chaka snorted coldly, disappearing on the spot with a few leaps. Before long, T'Chaka arrived next to the heart-shaped herb, a drop of blood falling onto it, muttering silently, "Great Panther God Bast, a false god is invading Your territory, threatening Your people. Please show Your might and save Your people!"
"Eh?" At that moment, Clark, who had dealt with all the fighter jets in the sky and confiscated their laser weapons, suddenly looked towards T'Chaka's location. He faintly sensed a spiritual force rising from there, stronger even than the Martian Manhunter's!
"Buzz!" Just as Clark noticed this spiritual force, the surrounding space began spinning wildly. Clark frowned but didn't stop it. He wanted to see how powerful the owner of this force was, especially since it seemed they were inviting him specifically. Who knows if they wouldn't keep targeting him if he didn't go?
Soon, Clark's figure vanished from Wakanda, leaving all its citizens stunned. But quickly, they saw a shadow of a black panther appearing in the sky, realizing that their god was protecting them...
"Panther God!"
"Panther God!"
"Wakanda forever!"
"Is the Panther God real?" Princess Shuri, seeing the shadow in the sky, her eyes sparkling with disbelief, quickly became excited, shouting Wakanda's slogan, while murmuring, "It's a pity T'Challa isn't here. But when he consumed the heart-shaped herb, he also communicated with the Panther God..."
"Sigh!" What the citizens of Wakanda didn't know was that, when Clark disappeared, Ancient One, who had been observing Clark and Robert's demon clearing, sighed lightly, murmuring, "Why provoke him? Now you've even dragged him into your dimension. Now he's probably going to let loose..."
And just as Ancient One said, Clark now found himself in another spatial dimension, no longer on Earth but in a special dimension. This dimension, though not large compared to Earth, was much more robust. Here, he felt he could unleash his powers without restraint.
"Kryptonian?" After pulling Clark into his dimension, the Panther God Bast identified Clark's race and gazed at him with a condensed look. However, he wasn't wary of Clark because of his race but sternly accused, "So it's you who invaded my territory, threatening my people?!"
Even though the Panther God Bast, as Wakanda's deity, couldn't always monitor everything within Wakanda. Although he occasionally possessed a common black panther to patrol his territory, he hadn't done so recently.
This was also due to the dimensional rifts appearing on Earth. As a deity dimension connected by Earth's belief, this dimension was affected. He had to constantly guard against potential intruders from other dimensions, a scenario that wasn't unheard of...
"I was merely passing through Wakanda to deal with demons when your people launched an attack on me. But I haven't injured a single one of them. Then you pulled me here. It's just as well, here, I don't need to hold back anymore!" Clark looked at the Panther God Bast and suddenly smiled warmly, but it startled Bast.
Clark wasn't lying. From his arrival in Wakanda, he had always been dodging. From Wakanda's perspective, Clark's intrusion was indeed problematic, but he had always been offering explanations. Even when Wakanda attacked repeatedly, he only dismantled a few jets and confiscated some laser weapons, not harming anyone.
Now, in this deity dimension brought by the Panther God Bast and feeling Bast's immense pressure, Clark felt he had finally encountered an equal.
"Hmm?" The Panther God Bast, hearing Clark's words, flashed a hint of displeasure, ready to retort but saw Clark's figure turn into a blur rushing towards him. Disdainfully, he roared, "Presumptuous Kryptonian, dare to disrespect a deity?!"
"Ha, someone dares to make a move against the boss? Ridiculous!"
"Exactly, this is the boss's home turf, and he dares to take the initiative?!"
"Kryptonians, huh! They are blessed beings. At their peak, they fear not the common deity, but alas, he faces the boss now!"
"Probably too smooth-sailing on Earth. After all, it's not an era of gods there now, his arrogance is understandable..."
As the deities including the Gorilla God, Crocodile God, Lion God, and Hyena God witnessed Clark charging at the Panther God Bast, they instantly completed their exchange, showing disdain for the overconfident Clark.
But, as Clark's figure charged and his terrifying aura fully released, the pupils of all deities, including the Panther God Bast who had been dismissive, suddenly contracted. Bast instantly transformed into his divine form, a pure black panther, the very image worshipped as a deity in Wakanda, at his peak strength, stronger than his previous half-human form.
"Boom!" The next moment, Clark's fist collided with the leaping claws of the Panther God Bast. The entire deity dimension trembled with this collision. Then, the Panther God Bast's body shuddered, leaping back to offset the force from Clark's fist...
