The Situation Reverses
"Again!"
Ultimate Limit Palm!
"Just admit defeat!"
Erik clashed with T’Challa again. Relying on the White Panther Armor for protection, he fought T’Challa head-on, exchanging wounds for wounds.
At first, the effect was pretty good. Every strike inflicted considerable damage on T’Challa. But as the battle continued, T’Challa grew increasingly accustomed to the power of Magnetic Field Rotation. His Cellular Reconstruction grew faster and faster, and his body grew stronger and stronger.
By now, Erik’s attacks could no longer cause any damage to T’Challa at all.
"Erik, is that really all you’ve got?"
"What a feeble punch!"
"I can’t feel your will at all!"
"You talked about changing the fate of your fellow Black people?"
"What a load of hot air!"
"Look at what you’ve done to Wakanda!"
"You’re the one who plunged the African continent into war!"
"You’re the one who killed millions of your fellow Black people!"
"You’re the one who turned Wakanda’s warriors into butchers who took pleasure in killing!"
"Today, I will uphold justice!"
T’Challa’s chest was filled with fury, and his killing intent was immense. In the frenzied battle, his Complete State also improved at an astonishing pace. Each strike landed on the Vibranium Armor, and the impact on Erik’s body grew stronger and stronger.
Although T’Challa’s current power at the Fifty Heavens still could not break through the Vibranium Armor, Erik inside the armor possessed only a body at the Tenth Heaven. The effects on him grew increasingly severe.
When Tony Stark defeated Black Panther back then, he had said that the weakness of any armor would always be the user inside it. Erik was now experiencing the meaning of those words firsthand.
His body, which had only reached the Tenth Heaven, had already become a drag on the White Panther Armor.
Finally, after fighting continuously for several days, T’Challa fused together all the combat techniques he had learned and created Magnetic Field martial arts of his own.
"Black Panther Bright Palm!" T’Challa shouted. He brought his palms together, gathered his strength, then separated them and thrust them upward in the shape of a lotus, striking Erik squarely on the chin.
This strike was completely beyond Erik’s expectations, and its power was unbelievably great. It sent Erik’s head buzzing and made him spit out a mouthful of blood. His mind was muddled for a moment, allowing T’Challa to seize the opportunity and unleash a savage beating.
This was the first time he had been injured in this battle. But immediately afterward, T’Challa beat him one-sidedly, making him vomit blood again and again.
Under his severe injuries, Erik finally advanced once more, stepping into the Eleventh Heaven.
But it was completely useless. Against T’Challa at the Fifty Heavens, he was still reduced to being brutally beaten.
The two fought in the sky, but the battle below had not stopped either.
Originally, the countries of Europe and the United States had all intended to give up on the situation in Wakanda for the time being. But when they discovered that Wakanda had fallen into civil war, they once again turned their attention toward it.
Through satellites, they had already confirmed the identities of both sides in the battle.
The Americans, having suffered from poor intelligence before, were much smarter this time. They did not act rashly again. Instead, they sent scholarly spies with black skin and white hearts to infiltrate Wakanda.
Through these spies, they learned that T’Challa was Wakanda’s former prince. They also saw T’Chaka, who had been turned into the "Vibranium King," and naturally learned about the role Tony Stark had played in all of this.
While cursing Tony for keeping the benefits to himself, they secretly sent people to contact Ramonda, hoping to divide the two sides from within.
Ramonda was naturally willing to have an ally on the outside, so the two sides hit it off immediately.
She did not know that T’Challa had already gained the upper hand. Worried that her son might lose, she was willing to do anything to increase T’Challa’s chances of victory.
Taking advantage of Erik’s absence, Ramonda used up all the influence she had left. She finally established a secure route and sent out the research results for Vibranium and Vibranium Magnetic Armor in batches.
After passing through layer upon layer of exploitation, these things finally reached Doctor Trask and were incorporated into the production and application of the Sentinel Type-3 Robot prototype.
In the void, T’Challa and Erik had already been fighting continuously for more than a month, yet they still could not determine a victor.
The power of the Fifty Heavens was indeed enough to look down on the world, but it was not enough to break through the Vibranium Magnetic Armor. As the prolonged battle continued, Erik also broke through to the Twenty-Five Heavens. Protected by the Vibranium Magnetic Armor, he could now basically ignore T’Challa’s attacks.
But because Erik was limited by his Power Flow, he also could not inflict fatal injuries on T’Challa. For a Magnetic Field Warrior at the Fifty Heavens, an injury that was not fatal was equivalent to no injury at all.
Through their long battle, both sides had improved tremendously, and their Complete States had risen considerably. T’Challa had also created five moves for his "Panther Fist," further narrowing the gap between their techniques.
But neither side could achieve a decisive victory now, so they remained locked in a stalemate.
Ultimate Emperor Leg!
Black Panther Tail Whip!
The two charged at each other again. Their legs swung up and slammed heavily together, after which they continued fighting as though nothing had happened, beginning yet another round of battle—who knew how many it had been by now.
Both sides knew each other inside and out, making the fight dull and tedious. They had originally assumed that this battle would once again end in a draw, but this time, an opportunity to break the deadlock appeared.
A white figure suddenly shot up from Earth at more than a hundred times the speed of sound and delivered a heavy punch straight at Erik.
Erik was locked in a fierce battle with T’Challa. By the time he realized he was being ambushed, it was already too late to dodge, so he could only circulate his Ultimate Protective Qi and block.
The punch clearly contained no technique at all. It was merely an ordinary basic attack, yet it was incredibly heavy. It directly blasted apart Erik’s Protective Astral Energy and struck him heavily in the head, sending him flying dozens of kilometers.
Even with the Vibranium Magnetic Armor’s defense, Erik still felt dizzy and disoriented. When he forcibly pulled himself together and assumed a defensive stance, he discovered that the pursuit from T’Challa he had expected had not come.
He looked into the distance and saw that the white figure that had attacked him was clearly a new White Panther Armor. The armor now unfolded in midair, revealing the empty space inside, and moved to envelop T’Challa.
A moment later, a new White Panther warrior appeared in the void.
"Damn it! It’s Shuri!" Erik suddenly realized. He and T’Challa had been fighting in the sky for more than a month. Something must have happened below.
Judging from the power he had felt when he was just beaten, this new White Panther Armor had most likely already reached the Seventy-Five Heavens.
Shuri had not been idle during this period either. She had originally conducted her research reluctantly, but now that she saw her own brother achieve great power, emerge from seclusion, and quell the rebellion, she immediately gave 120% of her ability and devoted herself to researching the armor.
Finally, some time ago, she had successfully developed Vibranium Magnetic Armor 3.0, raising its enhancement to the Seventy-Five Heavens.
And without Erik’s interference, no one knew her true progress.
Taking a risk, she used Ramonda’s connections to find an engineer and had a new White Panther Armor manufactured. Afterward, she remotely controlled the new armor and flew straight into the sky.
The battle between Erik and T’Challa was extremely conspicuous. She spotted it at a glance, then came up without a word and punched Erik, sending him flying. Only afterward did she unfold the armor and wrap it around her brother T’Challa.
After more than a month of continuous battle, the situation had finally reversed!
