Ch. 342 How Do You Plan to Transfer Vibranium?
🕑 Added 2024-04-03 09:53:35 +0000 UTCThe Justice League don't have as many rules and procedures as S.H.I.E.L.D.
In fact, apart from Russell and Diana being in charge of the Justice League and having the highest level of control, there aren't any other rules for the Justice League.
As for daily reports or the like, they simply don't exist.
As long as Russell or Diana agrees, even Natasha and others can use the Justice League's power to attack the Kingdom of Wakanda.
Of course, those who can join the Justice League are not foolish and wouldn't make such inexplicable demands.
"Rogers' shield is made of Vibranium?"
Natasha asked with a furrowed brow.
While she knew how Captain America's shield came to be, she also knew that it was exceptionally durable and had many properties that defied physics. But she had never imagined that Captain America's shield would have any connection to an obscure African agricultural nation.
"That's right!"
"Tony's father, Howard, obtained a small amount of Vibranium during World War II."
"Because Vibranium was unlike any other metal, Howard named it Vibranium."
"However, the shield Rogers currently uses is slightly different from a true Vibranium shield."
"When making this shield, Howard added some iron and chemical elements to it."
"Strictly speaking, the shield Rogers uses now is the result of a laboratory accident, because Howard also accidentally created it in the first place."
Russell, sitting in the boss's chair, said calmly.
The origin of Captain America's shield has two different origins.
In the movie universe, Captain America's shield was accidentally created by Howard Stark.
In the comics, it was created by Dr. Myron MacLain.
Although the creators were different, one thing remains the same: the material of Captain America's shield is known as the original Adamantium.
Since there's original Adamantium, there's also true Adamantium alloy.
However, in this universe, it's highly unlikely that true Adamantium alloy will exist.
True Adamantium alloy is a product of the X-Men universe.
Just as Captain America's shield had different creators in different universes, true Adamantium alloy also had different creators in different universes.
In the X-Men movie universe, Colonel William Stryker created Adamantium.
Wolverine Logan became a true Wolverine because he was injected with Adamantium by him.
In the comics, the true creator of Adamantium alloy and Captain America's shield was the same person, the metallurgist Dr. Myron MacLain.
"How do you know all of this?"
Natasha asked with a puzzled look.
Even Captain America, Steve Rogers, didn't know these things, and there was no relevant information in the Strategic Scientific Reserve data.
Except for Howard himself, no one else should know about this.
"I have some special sources of information."
Russell wouldn't tell Natasha that he's a space-time traveler, which is why he knows all of this. He just casually made up an excuse.
Natasha had gained some of his trust, but not to the extent of knowing that he's a space-time traveler. Besides Diana and the Ancient One, no one else knew that he had traveled from another world.
"Because Wakanda has Vibranium, you plan to send people to take it by force?"
Natasha continued to ask.
"Let me correct you, it's not by force."
"I've already gained the approval of the Guardian of Wakanda, the Black Panther God. The Black Panther God is willing to give me all of Wakanda's Vibranium."
"The reason I've gathered HYDRA's forces at the Wakanda border is just in case."
"And even if the King of Wakanda agrees, I'll still need enough manpower to take away all of Wakanda's Vibranium."
Russell said casually.
Black Panther God?
Although Russell had given an explanation, Natasha had even more questions.
In this world, Thor wasn't exiled to Earth as in the movie universe, so Natasha and the others didn't know that the gods of Norse mythology were actually aliens.
For Natasha, gods and such were nothing more than myths and legends.
Though Natasha didn't say anything, Russell could see the questions on her face.
"By the way, let me tell you some news: some of the gods from mythologies are actually real."
"By the way, I'm actually one of the gods now."
Russell didn't explain the detailed process of how he had transformed from a human to a divine being to Natasha. However, this didn't stop him from letting Natasha know that he was now a god.
Among the original S.H.I.E.L.D. agents like Natasha, she was the only one with whom he had a close relationship and who had given him pleasurable experiences.
So Russell didn't mind taking Natasha to his divine realm.
"Are you serious?"
Although Russell didn't look like he was joking at all, Natasha still found this a bit too unbelievable.
Russell being a powerful superhuman was something she could accept, but him becoming a god was a bit beyond her comprehension.
"Of course, I'm serious."
"Don't you think the current Justice League headquarters is a bit empty? Kara and Hulk aren't at the Justice League headquarters right now. Haven't you wondered where they are?"
Russell said with a smile.
Well...
When Natasha first arrived at the Justice League headquarters, she had already noticed this.
But she didn't think much of it.
Although she and Captain America and the others were now part of the Justice League, they were completely different from core members like Kara and Hulk.
In terms of status, she and the other original S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, along with the HYDRA agents Russell had subjugated, were peripheral forces of the Justice League. The true core members of the Justice League were just a few, like Kara and Hulk.
"Where are they now?"
Natasha didn't waste time speculating and directly asked Russell.
"They are all in my divine realm right now. If you're interested, I can take you up there later."
"By the way, I've always missed your relaxation massage technique from back then. You wouldn't mind me experiencing it again, would you?"
Russell had just finished speaking, and Natasha gave him a seductive eye roll.
While Natasha had some mental preparation when Russell had summoned her, she hadn't expected him to bring this up right after sharing the explosive news about being a god.
Men!
Soon, the study was filled with sounds that would make one blush and their heart race.
.....
After receiving Russell's orders, the HYDRA soldiers from the European and African bases quickly assembled on the border of Wakanda.
Instead of invading Wakanda immediately, they set up camp on Wakanda's border, awaiting Russell's next orders.
It wasn't until the second day after these HYDRA soldiers had completed their assembly that Russell left the main headquarters alone, using teleportation magic to arrive at the capital of Wakanda, Birnin Zana.
To be precise, he arrived at the gates of the royal palace, which had been the residence of all the kings of Wakanda.
As he emerged from the shimmering golden portal, the royal guards in front of the palace gates approached him, wielding vibranium spears, and surrounded him.
Looking at the all-female royal guard in front of him, Russell calmly said, "Inform your king, T'Chaka, that Russell from Justice League has come to collect vibranium."
He paid no mind to these royal female guards, who seemed to lack any feminine qualities at all. Although they currently appeared hostile and ready to use their vibranium spears on him, even if he stood still, they couldn't harm him in any way.
Upon hearing his words, these royal female guards surrounding him not only did not lower their vibranium spears but also showed fiercer expressions, prepared to strike him at any moment.
Seeing that these royal female guards had no intention of relaying his message to T'Chaka, Russell sighed in frustration.
He had wanted to be civilized; why did they have to force his hand?
As he sighed, he summoned the sun divine power within him.
The next moment, finger-thick golden rays appeared in the surrounding air, rapidly shooting toward these female guards.
Although it was a simple release of sun divine power, it was still a formidable attack for these guards to contend with.
In the blink of an eye, the royal female guards were struck by the golden rays formed by the condensed sun divine power, sent flying as if hit by speeding cars.
As he sent these guards flying, Russell's body radiated with a golden glow.
Then, he took a step forward.
The next second, he vanished into thin air.
Russell didn't waste any time; he immediately engaged in elemental transmutation, teleporting instantly to the king's hall inside the palace.
He had sensed the location of King T'Chaka and T'Challa earlier.
Realizing they were both in the king's hall, he didn't hesitate and teleported there directly.
Although he hadn't seen T'Chaka and T'Challa before, confirming their presence by their auras was not difficult.
Both of them carried the blessings of the Black Panther God, Bast.
By sensing the divine energy of Bast on someone in the palace, he could easily identify and lock onto their location.
At this moment, King T'Chaka was discussing whether to follow the divine oracle of the Black Panther God with the elders from the four tribes.
They had already discussed this matter once yesterday.
Unfortunately, they hadn't reached any conclusions, and instead, they had wasted an entire day.
When they saw Russell suddenly appear in the king's hall, without exception, they all showed an extremely alert expression.
While they had not seen Russell in person before, they were not entirely unfamiliar with him, especially after the discussions from the previous day.
"Someone, arrange a seat for Mr. Bradley!"
When no one else spoke, King T'Chaka was the first to say.
Soon, two tall and bald female guards placed a chair behind Russell.
Russell didn't bother with pleasantries and sat down directly.
Then, he said to King T'Chaka, "I'm here for a reason; Bast should have already informed you. I want to know how you plan to hand over the vibranium."
By conventional standards, Russell should have shown proper respect when facing a king. However, at this moment, he had no intention of doing so.
To ordinary people, a king might be a figure of high status. However, to a divine being, a king was no different from an ant, unless the king himself possessed great power, like the All-Father Odin.
Unfortunately, T'Chaka was not a king with a level of power like Odin.
As a divine being on the level of a Skyfather, Russell had no need to adhere to worldly conventions.
"Mr. Bradley, I did receive the divine oracle of the Black Panther God, but we are still in discussion about this matter..."
As King T'Chaka began to speak, Russell interrupted him.
"Do you mean you don't intend to follow the divine oracle of your god, Bast?"
This...
King T'Chaka had not expected Russell to directly voice such a statement.
Just as he was about to continue speaking, Russell glanced at the splendid ceiling of the grand hall and calmly said, "Your followers don't seem inclined to follow your divine oracle. Are you not going to intervene?"
Although this was not Bast's Divine Realm, Russell was quite certain that Bast could hear his words.
When he had teleported into the king's hall, he had sensed Bast's attention.
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall, which had been well-lit, suddenly darkened, as if it had instantly turned to night.
Then, a black panther, not much larger than an ordinary one, materialized beside Russell.
This was a divine avatar of the Black Panther God, Bast.
While not her true form, Bast's divine consciousness had descended into the mortal realm through this avatar.
Upon arriving in the king's hall, the Black Panther God Bast nodded slightly in acknowledgment to Russell.
Then, she raised her head and spoke to King T'Chaka, "Young man, do you intend to defy my divine oracle?"
Although the divine avatar of the Black Panther God Bast was only slightly larger than an ordinary black panther, King T'Chaka had no doubts about her identity.
"Under the protection of the Black Panther God, I have no intention of defying the divine oracle. However, the matter of vibranium is of utmost importance, and surrendering all our vibranium abruptly would be tantamount to our nation's destruction."
King T'Chaka replied.
Unlike the tribal elders and guards, King T'Chaka had met the Black Panther God Bast before, albeit in her Divine Realm. Now, in the mortal world, there wasn't much of a difference.
"Excuses!"
"I'll ask you again, do you intend to defy my divine oracle?"
Black Panther God Bast asked once more.
