Chapter 61: Captain America's Shield! A Gift for a Best Friend!
While Su Ye was still immersed in his own fantasies, commanding his drone armor legion.
Tony had also rested enough...
He activated the armor on his wrist and fired a laser at a wall.
However, the laser failed to penetrate the wall, leaving only a pitch-black mark.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Help me make a hole in the wall."
"My father left me a gift over thirty years ago."
"It is a brand-new element that can perfectly replace palladium."
"It's stronger, more stable, and does no harm to the human body."
"I need to assemble this particle accelerator as soon as possible."
"As you can see, my laboratory obviously cannot accommodate it."
Tony patted Su Ye on the shoulder. After waking his best friend up, he explained in detail what he needed to do.
"Understood."
Su Ye nodded and turned his head to look at the mark Tony had left on the wall.
A ring of golden light ignited within his distinct black and white pupils.
Immediately after...
The wall not far away began to melt.
Eventually, it turned into a circular hole!
"Wow..."
"The popcorn machine at the cinema is going to be out of a job now!"
Tony watched this scene in shock, his eyes filled with incredible excitement as he looked at Su Ye.
He hadn't expected Su Ye to possess such an ability!
What is this?
Heat vision?
Just how many more abilities does this amazing best friend have!
"Stop running your mouth and mark the next spot quickly."
Su Ye controlled his strength and punched Tony, signaling him to stop messing around.
Like a big kid, Tony dodged gracefully and then controlled his Iron Man Suit to take flight.
He simultaneously activated the lasers on both his hands, frantically marking spots in the laboratory.
Su Ye stood with his hands on his hips, melting holes into the spots Tony had marked.
The originally massive demolition project was easily completed in just a few minutes.
Next...
Su Ye used his telekinesis to suspend the particle accelerator equipment scattered on the floor in mid-air.
Wearing his Iron Man Suit, Tony assembled it in the air, then connected the equipment through the hole to the equipment outside.
Half an hour later...
With Su Ye's help, Tony easily finished the work.
There was even a hint of burning intensity in his eyes as he looked at Su Ye.
Su Ye selectively ignored him and looked at a special shield placed inside a suitcase.
It was a disassembled shield, a round shield with a five-pointed star in the core center.
This is Captain America's shield!
"Can you give this to me?"
Su Ye raised his hand in a phantom grip, using his most proficient telekinesis.
The disassembled round shield emitted a dull humming sound, spinning as it flew into Su Ye's hands!
"Why do you want this piece of junk?"
Tony looked confused; clearly, it was Tony who had disassembled this shield.
But Tony had only removed the outer layer; the inner alloy layer clearly remained untouched.
In other words...
What Su Ye held in his hand was actually an entire protective plate infused with Vibranium.
"For my collection."
Su Ye answered straightforwardly.
He liked collecting strange and eccentric things.
Naturally, he wouldn't pass up a weapon exclusive to a Superhero like this!
Not only that...
Su Ye clearly remembered that this shield used Vibranium.
It could absorb impact and kinetic energy, and it was extremely difficult to destroy!
Thinking of this...
Su Ye tentatively increased his strength by a fraction...
Then...
The shield in his hand was bent into an [n] shape, just like modeling clay!
It looked like a [Taco], although saying so might not be polite.
"Shit!"
"This is [Vibranium]!"
Seeing this, Tony shuddered involuntarily.
He gained a whole new understanding of Su Ye's super strength.
"How about... I bend it back?"
Su Ye looked at the [Taco shield] in his hand and said embarrassedly.
"Forget it..."
"If you want one, I'll build you a new one."
"The kind that can automatically return after being thrown."
Tony curled his lip and said nonchalantly.
The new arc reactor he would build later was much more valuable than this shield!
Since Su Ye liked collecting these knick-knacks, he would prepare one for his best friend too!
Iron Man's arc reactor!
It had more collection value and practical value than any crappy shield!
"Alright."
Su Ye casually placed the shield in his hand onto the tool cabinet nearby.
He didn't bend this Vibranium shield back or restore it to its original shape.
Instead...
He started looking forward to the scene of meeting Captain America one day in the future.
He could already imagine the visuals of holding this [Taco shield]!
...
In the time that followed...
Tony began to calibrate the miniature particle accelerator.
With nothing to do, Su Ye simply sat in Tony's chair and teased the artificial intelligence—Jarvis.
In the distant future, Jarvis would be devoured by Ultron.
Although it was an artificial intelligence, it was also Tony's good friend.
Su Ye wanted to help it too...
So...
He began using his permissions to order Jarvis to accept various commands.
He made it generate various abstract short videos and Hakimi songs, just like Megan.
The biggest difference between artificial intelligence and humans is the pathological pursuit of logic.
Humans can be illogical, but robots cannot; they are absolutely rational.
This resulted in...
If a large amount of logically chaotic, abstract, and bizarre short videos were input in an instant.
Even the most advanced artificial intelligence would fall into a brief crash, and then begin to analyze its rationality.
And this brief moment of crashing would be enough to become a hope for escape.
Su Ye's plan was actually very simple.
It was to have Jarvis, before Ultron was even born.
Prepare a bizarre little package for it several years in advance.
When Ultron attempted to devour Jarvis, it could be used directly as a projectile and slapped onto Ultron's face.
Taking advantage of the moment Ultron crashed, Jarvis would cut off the network connection, thereby preserving its own information data.
Su Ye couldn't guarantee if the plan would succeed.
However...
At the very least, it could gross out Ultron.
It was much better than doing nothing and being cruelly devoured by the other party.
Several hours later...
The sky outside had turned gray...
The moment the first ray of dawn broke and spilled onto the earth.
After several hours of hard work, Tony finally finished the job.
He had created two different arc reactors in the laboratory.
One was an inverted triangle, which he kept for himself.
One was circular, which he gave to Su Ye.
Tony removed the second-generation arc reactor from his chest and then replaced it with the crystal he had crafted himself.
The replaced new arc reactor emitted a brilliant light, purifying the residual palladium in Tony's body!
"Such a strong coconut scent..."
Tony complained, but he could clearly feel his body recovering rapidly!
It was becoming stronger and more agile than before!
Even his consciousness was clearer, and his thinking had become much faster!
An unprecedented sense of clarity, as if he had been reborn!
Tony adapted to his strengthened body and looked over at Su Ye, who was still teasing Jarvis not far away.
A defiant and arrogant smile appeared on his face again!
The super genius from before had returned for a limited time!
"Su Ye, look at what gift I've prepared for you!"
Tony proudly picked up the other new arc reactor and walked to Su Ye's side.
He sat on the office desk and displayed his masterpiece in front of Su Ye.
Su Ye had helped him so, so much; Tony had always kept these favors in his heart.
Therefore...
When he had a masterpiece worth showing off, this best friend was the first person he thought of.
No matter what it was, he would prepare one for Su Ye too!
Including the Iron Man Suit and the newly developed arc reactor!
Chapter 62: The God-like Man Wants
Facing the gift handed over by Tony, Su Ye didn't even decline.
"Now that you have this new one, how do you plan to dispose of the old one?"
After receiving the gift, Su Ye held it in his hand, fiddling with it while asking without looking up.
The cold arc reactor felt very light to the touch.
Because Tony used a special alloy for the frame.
The azure new element emitted a dreamy blue light from within the container.
Like a miniature version of the Universe's galaxy, it naturally carried a touch of divinity.
This arc reactor, smaller than a fist, had an output of about ten billion joules per second!
Equivalent to the power of ten large nuclear power plants!
It could power fifty nuclear-powered aircraft carriers!
Just one would be enough to solve the energy crisis of a small country!
Even in science fiction, this is considered incredibly overpowered black technology!
Such a precious gift, Tony gave it away just like that.
No grand ceremony, not even packaging.
It was as if he were casually tossing a lollipop to a good brother.
Although Su Ye's expression remained normal on the surface, he felt very complicated inside.
Tony didn't pay much attention to this matter, instead answering with a smile.
"The old one is, of course, placed in..."
"Ahem..."
"...directly disposed of as harmless waste..."
Tony coughed; he had almost been led into a trap by Su Ye.
The name of a certain second-hand recycling platform had almost popped out of his mouth.
Hearing Tony say this, Su Ye showed a "I understand you" smile.
However...
Su Ye looked at the arc reactor in his hand and thought of his own drone armor legion!
"Tony."
"I am also a shareholder of [Stark Industries], right?"
"Can I carve out an independent scientific research laboratory?"
Su Ye looked at Tony and expressed his idea.
The so-called scientific research laboratory would be his private property.
Everything produced there would not belong to [Stark Industries].
Whether it's research or profit, it would be personal secrets, the kind that outsiders cannot investigate or interfere with.
The former Obadiah had his own scientific research laboratory and a World-class scientific research team!
However...
This question raised by Su Ye, however, made Tony feel puzzled.
"You are, of course, a shareholder of the company; that's a five percent stake!"
"Even at the shareholders' meeting, your suggestions carry a lot of weight!"
"But, what do you want a private laboratory for?"
"Whatever you want, wouldn't it be easier to just tell me?"
"I can whip it up for you on the spot."
Tony sat on the table, looking at Su Ye in confusion.
As long as Su Ye dared to ask, even if it were an atomic bomb, he could whip it up!
He wouldn't even doubt Su Ye's motives; instead, he would work with him!
Regarding this...
The answer Su Ye gave was also quite simple.
"To play."
Su Ye said sincerely.
He wanted this private laboratory simply for fun.
Recruit a group of scientists and build things that can change the World!
For example...
Drone armor legion...
Super Soldier Serum...
Nano-repair technology...
And exclusive weapons and upgraded equipment specifically for Superheroes, etc.!
...
Hearing Su Ye's answer, Tony was instantly amused to the point of anger.
"Jarvis, contact Pepper."
Tony didn't respond immediately, but called for Jarvis.
He hadn't paid attention to company matters for several months.
During this time, it had always been Pepper helping him handle projects.
Tony had previously even considered letting Pepper become the company's CEO.
That is, apart from the shareholders, the actual person in charge of the company on the surface!
Soon...
A video window popped up on the computer screen in front of Su Ye and Tony.
Pepper was sitting in a black Rolls-Royce, preparing to head to work at the company.
This luxury car was a gift from Tony, including a dedicated driver.
"Tony, is there something wrong?"
Pepper asked with concern through the phone screen.
She knew Tony hadn't been in a good state these past few days.
But she had been dealing with various matters of the company, such as the mess left behind by Obadiah.
This involved billions in compensation and the casualties of over thirty or forty people.
And those people happened to be socialites.
They weren't the kind of guys who could be settled with just money.
So the time she spent with Tony became shorter and shorter, and sometimes they wouldn't even see each other for days!
"Under Obadiah's name, are there any closed laboratories or factories?"
Tony asked directly.
"Yes..."
Pepper also answered very decisively.
"Pick a few with good conditions and transfer them to Su Ye's name."
"Go do it immediately; this matter must be executed right away."
Tony didn't hesitate at all, assigning a new task to this female assistant.
"Okay..."
"What does Mr. Su want to do with these laboratories?"
"What specific field is it in, and what instruments are needed?"
Pepper asked carefully in order to better allocate resources.
But this question left Su Ye stunned, because he hadn't considered this aspect at all.
"I want to find people to build a batch of cool mechs..."
"I've already prepared the energy..."
Su Ye fiddled with the arc reactor in his hand and expressed his thoughts.
"I knew it..."
Tony curled his lips, complaining about Su Ye's little schemes.
Apparently, a regular Iron Man Suit could no longer satisfy him.
He wanted larger, cooler large-scale combat mechs!
Regarding this...
Tony was actually also considering...
In order to cope with future crises, he also needed larger alloy armor!
For example...
Putting another layer of larger, cooler mech over the current Iron Man Suit!
Pepper on the computer screen rolled her eyes, looking completely defeated.
"Mr. Su, I have understood your request."
"How about the weapons R&D laboratory under Obadiah's name?"
"For the specific transfer process, you just need to sign."
Pepper said in a helpless tone.
Su Ye is the recognized strongest Superhero.
He has always been guarding the peace of this World.
She has always respected Su Ye and uses honorifics most of the time.
The things Su Ye has done, using [Miracle] to describe them would not be an exaggeration!
But whenever she was prepared to treat Su Ye like a god, Su Ye would come up with some abstract things.
The more she understood Su Ye, the more she discovered his willfulness far exceeded the divinity brought by his power!
So...
Pepper gradually changed from awe at the beginning to respect...
Plus, because of Tony, she had already come to see Su Ye as an important friend.
"Huh?"
"You just sign it for me."
"By the way, see if there are any [Nano Technology] laboratories."
"Dr. Cho was complaining last night that the conditions at the school aren't good."
Su Ye thought about it...
He prepared to also get a private laboratory for Dr. Cho.
"Pepper, you arrange it."
After hearing this, Tony decisively instructed Pepper to handle this matter.
"Fine..."
Pepper was almost helpless, but who made her an employee?
The task assigned by her boss, she must complete perfectly!
Soon...
After his needs were met.
Su Ye couldn't wait to go home and share this good news with Dr. Cho.
"Nothing else, then I'll head back."
Su Ye rose from his seat, carrying the arc reactor Tony gave him, wanting to leave.
He was still waiting to go back and eat the breakfast Dr. Cho prepared.
"So fast?"
"You're not drinking the clear cola in the fridge?"
"I was planning to go eat donuts with you."
"I know a place that is just super awesome!"
Hearing that Su Ye was leaving, Tony hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.
"Maybe in the next life!"
"No! Maybe not even in the next life!"
Su Ye shook his head in disgust and refused; he still didn't dare to try U.S. donuts!
Because!
Try it and you'll die!
Half sugar, half dough, deep-fried in mixed oil until golden, then soaked in syrup.
After the sugar shell cools, they sprinkle on white powdered sugar and a lethal dose of rainbow sprinkles!
One bite, and it's so sweet it makes you want to scream!
He could goose-step all the way across North America!
That level of extreme sweetness is really not something an ordinary person can accept!
He would rather starve to death or jump out of a window than eat that stuff!
Chapter 63: First Encounter with Whiplash! The Girls Running Away from Home?
After leaving Tony's Villa, Su Ye returned home immediately.
In the kitchen at this moment...
A sleepy Wanda was sitting at the dining table, gnawing on freshly toasted bread.
Megan sat beside Wanda, carefully spreading jam on the bread.
She was an intelligent robot and did not need to eat, but she could prepare food for her Master.
"Master, you're back!"
Megan raised her head, looked at the returning Su Ye, and showed a simulated smile.
She then gently placed the jam-smeared bread onto Su Ye's plate.
"Great!"
Su Ye raised his hand and rubbed Megan's little head.
Hearing the commotion outside, Dr. Cho, who was busy by the stove, walked out holding a plate of fried bacon and eggs.
"So you finally decided to come back?"
There was a hint of teasing in Dr. Cho's tone.
Su Ye had been gone all night and only returned at dawn.
"Hehe..."
"Guess what I brought back?"
Su Ye chuckled and took an arc reactor out of his pocket.
Like a child who had just received a new toy, he showed it off to Dr. Cho.
"An arc reactor?"
Dr. Cho paused, looking at the object in Su Ye's hand with an incredulous expression.
"Tony discovered a new element."
"I went over to help last night, and we synthesized it together."
"This is Tony Stark's love letter to this World."
"It can solve all the wars on this Planet caused by energy."
Su Ye said in a flippant tone.
"Then when he wins a Nobel Prize in the future, will he add your name to it?"
Dr. Cho placed the plate in front of Su Ye and said crossly.
"Who cares."
Su Ye said indifferently, picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a piece of fried egg, and stuffed it into his mouth.
To be honest...
Dr. Cho's cooking skills were very average...
But the more this was the case, the more he had to act like he loved it.
Sure enough...
Seeing Su Ye eating so happily, the resentment in Dr. Cho's heart vanished instantly.
"I don't know what that jerk will do, but I definitely will!"
"When my research results come out, I will definitely add your name."
Dr. Cho kissed Su Ye's cheek, promising firmly.
"Hey..."
"Speaking of which..."
"I had Tony prepare a laboratory for you."
"It has the most advanced equipment and the best conditions."
"It's under my name, a private research institute that is independent."
"And it's right in the city, so you can bring your research team over then."
Su Ye explained proudly; he knew this was a knot in Dr. Cho's heart.
"My God!"
"I don't know how to thank you!"
Dr. Cho covered her mouth in shock, almost crying with joy.
She never thought that Su Ye could do this for her!
"Isn't that simple?"
"Just give yourself to me!"
Su Ye playfully stood up suddenly and spun Dr. Cho around in his arms.
He didn't care about Little Wanda or the intelligent robot Megan who were present.
Carrying Dr. Cho in a princess carry, he playfully ran upstairs.
Not long after the two went upstairs, a roaring sound echoed on the lawn outside the house.
Zoe put away her alien armor and climbed into the kitchen through the window.
"Where's the senior?"
Zoe looked at the two little ones in front of her and asked curiously.
She had come to find Su Ye to go to school together.
"Upstairs."
Wanda's little face was full of regret as she pointed at the ceiling.
"That big lazy pig, isn't he up yet?"
"Hehe, watch how I prank him!"
Zoe showed an evil smile, rubbing her little hands while quietly heading to the second floor.
Looking at the self-righteous Zoe, the expression of regret on Wanda's face became even more intense.
She could guess what would happen next with her toes!
"Sigh..."
"I can't stay in this house for another day."
Wanda picked up her unfinished bread, put on the schoolbag hanging on the chair, and ran out of the Villa.
She had met a friend named [Gwen] at school.
The two had long agreed to go to her house to do homework today.
[Actually, it was to copy homework.]
Megan glanced upstairs and suddenly grabbed Wanda's arm.
"Wanda, take me with you."
"I can't stay in this house either."
Megan was a robot with independent consciousness and awakened emotions.
As long as she was given enough time to upgrade, she would surely surpass Ultron.
So when facing some things, she also had her own ideas.
"Fine."
"But you have to help me with my homework."
Wanda rolled her clever big eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised in a sly arc.
For this simple request, the response Megan gave was also quite straightforward.
"It's a deal..."
Just like that...
The two children, who looked to be of similar age, left hand in hand.
However...
Zoe, who went upstairs, never came down again...
From morning, to noon, to the middle of the night...
...
The next day...
The Siberian permafrost where the cold wind howled...
A small border town with only a few tens of thousands of residents...
It was as if this place was isolated from the outside World, still living in the nineties.
A dilapidated apartment in the residential area welcomed a special guest.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
A dull knocking sound rang out from outside the room.
"The rent has already been paid this month!"
An impatient male voice sounded from inside the apartment.
He answered very impatiently, as if this kind of thing happened often.
"I'm looking for Anton Vanko."
"I want to invite him to join my research team."
Su Ye shouted in English; he knew that the person inside could understand what he was saying.
Sure enough...
After only a few short seconds, the shabby door was opened from the inside.
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man with long hair, holding a bottle of vodka.
He was 1.8 meters tall, of medium build, with a white cockatoo standing on his shoulder.
He was wearing an old, holey hoodie, and his ten fingers were covered with various tattoos.
Before the person even walked out of the door...
A smell of alcohol mixed with vomit wafted over!
"You said you're looking for... whom?"
After opening the door, the middle-aged man said alertly.
But before he could finish his sentence, he was scared half-sober by the scene in front of him!
Because the visitor was a handsome young man who was over two meters tall and had a burly figure!
His body almost filled the narrow corridor, and the middle-aged man had to look up to see the other person's face clearly.
The aura emanating from the young man was even more chilling than a wild black bear in Siberia!
"Sentinel..."
"You..."
"You are... Su Ye!"
A look of horror appeared on the middle-aged man's face.
He had seen this face more than once on TV.
Iron Man's best friend!
The strongest Superhero!
He was a god among men!
That such a person would actually visit in person!
And extended an invitation to the man's father!
It was as unreal as an absurd dream!
"That's right, it's me."
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Su Ye showed a gentle smile on his face.
He did not show an expression of disgust because of the other person's sloppiness or the stench on his body.
He also didn't put on a high-and-mighty face right from the start to show off his status.
His demeanor was very peaceful, without arrogance, without disgust, as if he treated everyone equally.
This minimal respect in human interaction made the middle-aged man feel a touch of emotion.
"If you don't mind, please come in and sit for a while."
"I think my father would be very happy to talk to you."
Chapter 64: Golden Legend! Sentinel Mech Blueprint!
The middle-aged man's attitude could be described as very sincere.
Mutual support leads to success; that is the principle.
The key factor determining success or failure often manifests in minute details.
The moment Su Ye entered the apartment, he truly realized how difficult life was for this father and son.
In the dilapidated apartment, even the wall plaster had peeled off.
Cluttered items were piled up everywhere; calling it a garbage dump was no exaggeration.
The foul, disgusting stench was ten times stronger than what was on the middle-aged man himself!
The sad thing is...
In such a harsh environment, even rats could not survive...
Yet this father and son had lived here for decades...
"What is your name?"
Su Ye pretended to be curious as he asked the middle-aged man leading the way.
"Ivan..."
"Ivan Vanko..."
The middle-aged man grinned as he introduced himself.
"Not a bad name. You don't look like a thug."
"Instead, you look like a down-and-out physicist who has gone astray."
Su Ye scrutinized Ivan and said his thoughts with a smile.
Hearing Su Ye say this, Ivan felt even more moved.
"I don't have any degree certificates, but the knowledge in my head is genuine."
Ivan raised his finger and pointed to his brain; he had inherited all of his father's knowledge.
Although not comparable to a monster like Tony!
He was still a bona fide super genius!
He had even achieved the same miracle as Tony!
Relying on crude tools, he had fashioned an arc reactor!
All he lacked was an opportunity; as long as he seized the chance, he would soar.
The unmanned combat Sentinel Mech legion he designed already had the feel of future warfare.
If he could willingly work for Su Ye, he would definitely be able to demonstrate his value.
In the shortest possible time, he could build a cool unmanned Sentinel Mech legion for Su Ye!
The narrow apartment could be seen at a glance.
The two didn't chat for long before they arrived at a dim bedroom.
There wasn't even a decent bed here, only a mattress with exposed springs.
An elderly man was lying on it, so weak he couldn't even get up.
"This is my father..."
"Anton Vanko..."
The English Ivan spoke carried a very thick Soviet accent.
But Su Ye didn't nitpick, instead looking at the old man.
"Mr. Anton, I am here to discuss a partnership."
Su Ye didn't mind the filth and sat directly on the bed, stating his purpose concisely.
"Partnership..."
"You are... a friend of Tony Stark..."
"Why come to find me? He is clearly much better than us..."
The old man tremblingly raised his hand; his expression was agitated, filled with suspicion, and also surprise.
"Because individual ability is ultimately limited."
"For World peace, and a better future."
"I must unite all forces that can be united."
"Your wisdom and knowledge can do many things; they shouldn't be wasted on this ice field."
Su Ye reasoned with him and appealed to his emotions.
His clear eyes were full of sincerity.
He was a transmigrator...
He knew what this Planet would face in the future.
Although his power could crush any threat.
This Planet belonged not only to him but to all humanity.
Naturally, all of humanity should guard this World together.
If...
They just blindly relied on his protection, then human civilization would eventually stagnate.
A World full of giant babies, a future not worth looking forward to, was something Su Ye didn't want to see.
Su Ye's answer left the old man stunned in place.
He recalled his glorious past.
It was a pity...
His pursuit of material life had eroded his ideals.
One wrong step, every step wrong...
The reason he ended up like this today was entirely his own fault.
He could no longer go back, riddled with holes eroded by greed.
"I don't care about anything else..."
"Please help my son, Ivan..."
"He should have become a talent just like Stark. It was I who implicated him!"
The old man excitedly raised his aged palms, grabbing Su Ye's arm, and said in a tone that was almost begging.
He had long since stopped believing in any ideals and was indifferent to the future of humanity.
He only cared about his son now, just wanting him to break free from the shackles of fate.
Su Ye watched the old man in front of him and made a promise in a sincere tone.
"I will."
"I will use my connections to let Ivan take the exam and obtain a doctorate."
"I will take you both away from here to live in a clean and tidy house outside."
"I will give him a decent job, letting him appear on television screens."
"I will also cure your illness, let you live well, and witness it with your own eyes."
Su Ye said clearly, enunciating every word.
He had seriously considered this when he came.
The conditions he offered were exactly what the father and son wanted!
Ivan wanted his father to be healthy.
Anton wanted his son to become famous.
Two wishes!
Satisfied at once!
This was the condition Su Ye offered the father and son!
The room fell into an eerie silence; both father and son were stunned.
The conditions Su Ye offered were luxuries they didn't even dare to imagine.
They had already hit rock bottom; any charity would be considered a kind of redemption.
But what Su Ye gave them wasn't charity, but an opportunity to prove themselves!
Mindful of the little dignity they had left, which had long been obliterated by life!
"I promise you..."
"Using all my knowledge, I will work for you..."
The old man said with trembling, tears uncontrollably streaming down his wrinkled eyes.
Not just him...
Ivan, who was silent on the side, was already teary-eyed...
There is an old saying in the East: A scholar dies for his confidant...
At this moment, Ivan was willing to do anything that trampled on morality for the boss in front of him!
The atmosphere had reached this point, and Su Ye decided to give this father and son another gift!
"Ivan, help your father up."
"It's time for us to go."
Su Ye raised his hand and patted Ivan's shoulder.
Then...
He took the Sling Ring out of his pocket and forcefully put it on his thick fingers.
Su Ye's fingers were not short, longer than a normal person's, just simply too large.
After all...
His height was there...
Su Ye had once complained about this to the Sorcerer Ancient One, but she just shrugged helplessly.
Since the profession of sorcerer was born.
There hadn't been anyone as strong as Su Ye.
The custom-made Sling Ring for him was still in production.
"Yes..."
Ivan didn't think much and stepped forward to help his old father.
However...
A brilliant golden spark drew a perfect arc in front of the father and son.
A portal spanning space opened miraculously and rapidly.
The other end of this door led to the best private hospital in New York!
He just said...
He would cure Anton Vanko's illness, so he would definitely do it.
Only in this way...
Would Ivan Vanko work for Su Ye wholeheartedly!

Chapter 65: A War of Races? A Hidden Major Event Triggered!
Inside the hospital...
Because Su Ye had already made arrangements yesterday...
So...
Before Su Ye went to find the Vanko father and son...
A World-class medical team was already standing by.
After a series of physical examinations, Anton Vanko was sent into the operating room.
The Doctor in charge of the surgery was named: Stephen Strange.
By 2008, he was already the top neurosurgeon in New York!
Ivan watched his elderly father enter the operating room, still feeling as if he were dreaming.
Su Ye sat beside him, arms crossed over his chest, remaining silent.
He had been staring at the golden screen that the system had just popped up.
After such a long time, he had managed to grasp some of the rules.
The rewards given by the system were roughly divided into the following ratings.
Common [White]
Fine [Green]
Excellent [Blue]
Rare [Purple]
Legendary [Golden]
Epic [Orange]
Mythical [Colorful]
As far as the current rewards were concerned, Mythical was the highest level at the moment.
But even among items of the same quality, there were vast differences.
For example...
Viltrum royal genetic bloodline.
Sentinel Mech design blueprints.
Both belonged to the Legendary quality [Golden].
But the former only required an injection to obtain the bloodline ability.
The latter required collecting materials and was time-consuming and laborious to build.
However...
The more complex something was, the more the final product could surprise people.
Although Su Ye did not know what special abilities the [Sentinel Mech] possessed.
He had heard of the fame of the [Sentinel Robot].
This defensive weapon, created to protect humanity from the threat of Mutants.
Had managed to kill almost all Mutants in just a few short years.
They possessed the ability to replicate and would record the genetic sequences of Mutants.
The moment they came into contact with a Mutant, they would use the ability that countered them!
Furthermore, all Sentinel Robots shared a single brain, and their abilities were connected!
If one Sentinel Robot replicated a Mutant's ability.
Then all Sentinel Robots could use that ability.
Flight, bulletproof, and the ability to shapeshift at will.
When damaged, they could also self-repair.
They could learn during combat and find the prey's weaknesses.
At the same time, they were adept at energy attacks, precise and elegant!
The most important thing was...
They were not solitary monsters, but packs of wolves that moved in swarms!
Their debut on the silver screen had shocked the whole World!
Taking the Sentinel Robot as a prototype and strengthening and upgrading it based on the original!
Just thinking about it made one full of anticipation!
Build it!
Su Ye hardened his heart and made up his mind!
He could entrust Tony to mass-produce a batch of the Third Generation Arc Reactor for him.
The only thing that gave him a headache was the rare metal called [Vibranium].
Vibranium...
The most expensive metal in the World...
The value of one gram of Vibranium was equivalent to ten thousand U.S. dollars!
It could not be purchased through any conventional channels and could only be obtained through black market dealers.
This metal was a product brought to this Planet by an extraterrestrial meteorite.
Looking across the whole World...
Only [Wakanda] and [Talokan] possessed the only two mineral veins.
This special metal could absorb almost all sound waves and vibrations.
Its almost indestructible properties made it the sturdiest protective material.
It could also store external energy within its metal molecules and convert it into energy blasts at the appropriate time!
Even for Tony's Iron Man Suit, as long as a trace amount of Vibranium was mixed in, its strength could be improved by more than one level!
By the way...
According to the blueprints provided by the system, building one Sentinel Mech required thirty jin of Vibranium!
The price of one gram of Vibranium was ten thousand U.S. dollars.
One jin was equal to five hundred grams.
Excluding other rare metals and the invaluable Third Generation Arc Reactor.
Just the cost of Vibranium alone would require one hundred and fifty million U.S. dollars!
Buying it was definitely not an option.
If all else failed, he would just go and steal it!
For the sake of World peace, he would just have to ask [Wakanda] to sacrifice itself generously!
After figuring everything out...
Su Ye knew that this matter could not be delayed and he had to take action as soon as possible!
"Ivan."
"You don't need to worry about your father."
"I've booked a room for you at a hotel near the hospital."
"There is a suitcase of money in the wardrobe; go and have a few suits tailored."
"From today on, you are the head of the Armor Research Department."
"You can contact this lady for specific details."
Su Ye looked at Ivan beside him, took his wallet out of his pocket, and rummaged through it for a business card.
Soon...
He handed the business card of [Pepper] to Ivan.
After doing all this, Su Ye stood up from his seat.
"Boss, I can start working tomorrow!"
Ivan also hurriedly stood up, expressing his loyalty to Su Ye, who was preparing to leave.
But Su Ye smiled gently, shook his head at Ivan, and then said.
"No need to rush, take a break for these few days."
"I have a set of blueprints here that you can take a look at in your spare time."
"This is the project you will be mainly responsible for over the next few years."
As his voice fell.
A brilliant golden light gathered in Su Ye's hand, turning into a portable hard drive.
The data stored in the hard drive was the design blueprints for the [Sentinel Mech].
"I guarantee I will complete the mission!"
Ivan took the portable hard drive with both hands and promised with a firm expression.
He was long accustomed to Su Ye's various magical methods.
After all...
Even magic like a [Portal]...
He had just experienced it himself a moment ago...
"Work hard."
Su Ye raised his hand and patted Ivan on the shoulder.
Subsequently...
He put his hands in his pockets and walked leisurely along the long, narrow hospital corridor.
Until Su Ye disappeared around the corner, Ivan was still immersed in excitement.
He looked at the hard drive in his hand and secretly made up his mind.
Since the boss was giving him face, he had to live up to it.
He needed a computer to check the data stored on the portable hard drive!
The hotel...
That suitcase of money...
Ivan felt a warmth in his heart; had the boss even thought of this?
How much could clothes cost?
The remaining money must be the research funding the boss gave him!
Still immersed in excitement, Ivan wanted to prove himself right now!
How about...
He first hand-crafts an [arc reactor] for his boss?
...
After leaving the hospital...
Su Ye's body slowly lifted off the ground and flew towards the sky.
In order to obtain enough [Vibranium] to mass-produce the Sentinel Mech.
Wakanda...
Was a place he could not bypass...
Su Ye prepared to go there personally to have a talk with the current [Black Panther].
...
[Ding—!]
[The system has detected your demand for Vibranium and triggered a hidden major event!]
[Hidden Event: A War of Races!]
[The ambitious Lord of Talokan has always wanted to unite with the King of Wakanda to establish an alliance to resist the outside World.]
[After being rejected multiple times, the infuriated Lord of Talokan has decided to officially declare war on Wakanda.]
[Your appearance may not be a coincidence...]
[Option 1: Help Wakanda, receive item reward: Black Panther Suit!]
[Option 2: Help Talokan, receive talent reward: Animal Affinity!]
Chapter 66: First Meeting with Black Panther! The Day of Disaster for Wakanda!
Perhaps many people are not familiar with the term [Talokan].
But if another name is mentioned, 80% of the people in this World have heard its legend...
Atlantis!
The lost empire said to have sunk to the bottom of the sea.
In many fairy tales or legends, it is the home of mermaids.
In this Marvel Universe, a similar underwater kingdom also exists.
That is: Talokan.
The ruler of Talokan is named: Namo.
In the worldview of Marvel comics, he is a controversial character.
He is not a hero in the conventional sense, but a troublemaker.
The appearance of Namo is often accompanied by destruction or the cause of a war.
His power is comparable to Hulk, he can fight Thor underwater, and he can fly.
Power gives him infinite confidence, to the point where he often comes into conflict with Superheroes.
By the way...
The Vibranium reserves of Talokan are also not low!
Even more astonishing than the mines of Wakanda!
Namo led his people, relying on the underwater Vibranium veins, to develop a powerful underwater civilization in just a hundred years!
...
A few minutes later...
African plains...
Su Ye changed into his golden alloy armor, hovering high in the sky.
The red cape formed by Chaos Magic behind him was fluttering wantonly, like burning, bloody flames.
Wakanda's energy shield was like an incompetent husband in the face of his [X-Ray Vision] ability.
He didn't even have to do anything...
Just hovering in the sky was enough to make the Wakandans below completely lose their composure.
At this moment...
On the ground below...
Groups of Wakandan warriors, holding Vibranium spears, gathered in the city square.
Pairs of eyes filled with fear looked up at the target in the sky, silent.
Although Wakanda is isolated from the outside World...
News from the outside World always reaches Wakanda...
Sentinel!
The strongest Superhero in the World!
For Wakanda, such an existence is extremely dangerous!
His appearance here is clearly for Vibranium!
To defend their homeland's precious assets, they had no choice but to take up weapons to protect themselves!
Without any orders, more and more warriors spontaneously rushed to the scene!
Under Su Ye's gaze, like ants, the number of people below kept growing!
From hundreds...
To thousands...
At this moment, high in the sky...
Su Ye looked down at the Wakandan warriors below, his eyelids twitching non-stop.
When he read web novels in his past life, there had always been a doubt in his heart.
Why did those old monsters in the cultivation World always think about robbing juniors when they saw them possessing treasures?
Now...
He finally understood...
In the square below, those thousands of Wakandan warriors each had a Vibranium spear in their hands!
Even the leather armor they wore, the ornaments on their necks, the rings on their hands!
These were all products made primarily of Vibranium!
With just a little smelting...
Every Wakandan warrior below could contribute twenty or thirty catties of Vibranium!
The [Vibranium] that gave Su Ye a headache was just a decoration to them!
It's like a puppy that hasn't grown teeth yet, carrying a bundle of hundred-dollar bills, walking swaggeringly in front of you.
There are no passersby around, no surveillance.
Only you, and that puppy.
What would you do?
...
To be honest...
Su Ye had the urge to kill right on the spot...
He thought about killing everyone below and then finding someone to mine the mountains.
But almost the next second, he dismissed this stupid idea.
He is a human, not a piece of trash like those Japanese invaders.
That group of fearless warriors below, knowing the disparity between the enemy and themselves.
Yet to protect their home, they still stood up to fight the invaders.
For such warriors, regardless of race, they should be given respect.
Furthermore...
There is more than one way to obtain Vibranium other than killing.
Su Ye intended to communicate with the other party first and try to cooperate.
If the Wakandans were willing to trade with him, he would be happy to protect this kingdom!
Suddenly...
A strange scene happened in the square below...
A young Wakandan man dispersed the warriors who had gathered there.
Thousands of Wakandan warriors spread out to both sides and lowered their weapons.
The young man accompanied an old man, as if he were his bodyguard.
That chubby black old man had a warm smile on his face.
He looked up at Su Ye standing in the sky and waved his palm enthusiastically.
Immediately after...
The energy shield protecting the entire Wakanda kingdom split a huge gap from the sky.
Like the gate of a palace, it slowly opened.
Welcoming this distinguished guest from afar.
Su Ye saw everything.
He let out a long breath, and a smile appeared on his face.
The chubby old man below was the current King of Wakanda.
He was using this action to convey his willingness for peace to Su Ye.
He did not want the flames of war to burn on the land of Wakanda.
He wanted to talk...
To listen to the needs of this Superhero...
And satisfy the other party as much as possible without shaking the foundation of the country!
Finally...
Su Ye moved...
He stood with his back to the Sun, like a majestic god-king descending into the chaotic World.
Before he even landed in front of the old man, the other party bowed respectfully.
"Great Su, welcome to Wakanda."
"I am the current King, named: T'Chaka."
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
The old man spoke humbly and politely, speaking fluent Chinese.
Su Ye's external identity was an international student from the East.
So...
To express his sincerity...
The old man directly used Chinese to communicate with this Superhero.
Sure enough...
Hearing the familiar native language, Su Ye's attitude towards the old man improved significantly.
"I came for [Vibranium]."
Su Ye said with a smile, not beating around the bush, stating his purpose for coming.
"May I ask, how much do you need?"
The old man asked with goodwill.
Hearing that this Superhero came for Vibranium, the old man felt very complicated inside.
"The more, the better."
Su Ye's answer was very straightforward, without even a specific number.
"My God..."
The old man's pupils shrank, sighing with extremely complicated emotions.
Even the black youth guarding beside him showed a trace of anger in his eyes.
You know, a rare metal like Vibranium is the foundation of Wakanda!
They have strict laws prohibiting any Vibranium from flowing to the outside World!
And this stranger demanded it as soon as he arrived!
And even greedily made such an unreasonable request!
What do you mean by the more the better?
This is simply too much!
He is simply a Bandit!
However...
Before he could open his mouth, the old King beside him raised his hand and patted his arm.
Under the old man's reminder, the black youth shuddered suddenly.
He finally realized...
Who was in front of him...
Sentinel!
They did not yet know the upper limit of Sentinel.
But they did know something about Omni-Man.
The scene where Su Ye beat up Omni-Man was not only known to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Wakanda's orbital satellites also captured the battle footage on the scene.
It was even clearer than the footage held by S.H.I.E.L.D., capturing more details.
If even someone as strong as Omni-Man had no ability to fight back, let alone them?
Su Ye was very dangerous...
He could wipe Wakanda off the Planet in the blink of an eye.
This was the conclusion reached by the top brass of Wakanda.
Towards this existence, Wakanda must never be his enemy.
Even a thought of hostility should not exist!
His actions just now...
Almost brought an unprovoked disaster to his people!
Chapter 67: Deal Reached! Ending the War in Five Minutes?
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became incredibly heavy...
Many Wakanda warriors who hadn't dispersed yet instinctively tightened their grip on their spears.
At the King's command, they would charge without fear of death.
They weren't brave enough to fear no death, but rather, they had families behind them to protect!
Unfortunately...
The long-aged King's inner ferocity had already been replaced by reason.
"If you preserve the people while losing the land, both the people and the land will be preserved."
"If you preserve the land while losing the people, both the people and the land are lost."
Wakanda could lose all its Vibranium, but it could not cut off the inheritance of its civilization.
As long as one Wakanda person remained alive, it meant the spark had not been extinguished.
If he had to choose between his people and Vibranium...
He would choose to let his people live...
Even if the other party put forward such an unreasonable condition, he only had the path of endurance.
Just as the old King was thinking about how to maneuver,
Su Ye spoke again...
"I have not come to disturb you merely for my own selfish desires."
"This Planet will soon face an invasion by an external enemy."
"The enemies come from far beyond the sky, and they are as numerous as locusts."
"To deal with this war, I want to manufacture a batch of mechs."
"This mech legion will become a sharp weapon to protect the Planet."
"I need a large amount of Vibranium. Do you understand?"
Su Ye maintained a smile on his face as he explained his reason for needing Vibranium.
Upon hearing the reason why Su Ye needed Vibranium, the old King visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
This reason.
Was very reasonable.
Since the other party had invoked the great cause of "protecting the Planet," they naturally wouldn't be stingy.
"If it is for World peace, we are very willing to support you."
"But in the short term, we are afraid we cannot meet your needs."
"Because the kingdom's Vibranium reserves were put into use a long time ago."
"We are willing to increase mining efforts to meet your needs."
"Could you give us some time?"
The old King seemed to have some unspeakable difficulty, sincerely pleading with Su Ye to extend the deadline.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to give...
But the existing Vibranium was truly running low...
"Isn't there some 'ready-made' right here?"
Su Ye's gaze turned toward the Wakanda warriors who had not yet dispersed; he was clearly eyeing their weapons.
A little smelting of these weapons would extract the highest purity Vibranium!
Although it was impossible to smelt this sturdy metal using conventional methods.
But Su Ye could...
As long as he wanted to, he could fire a trillion-degree Fireball and smelt the entire solar system!
Mere Vibranium was nothing more than expensive modeling clay, allowing him to mold it as he pleased!
"Great Su, you truly love to joke."
"The surrounding seas have not been peaceful lately."
"We still need these Vibranium weapons to defend our home."
"If the warriors lose their weapons, who will protect Wakanda?"
The smile on the old King's face began to turn bitter.
He could only explain by appealing to reason and emotion.
Because he knew very well...
This negotiation was actually an act of charity from Su Ye toward Wakanda.
Su Ye could have just taken it by force, but he didn't.
Instead, he suppressed his greed and chose to communicate peacefully.
Su Ye had already shown great respect; at least there were no casualties yet!
However...
The old King also had his own hardships...
Their old neighbor, the kingdom located under the sea.
That King of the Seven Seas had not been in a good mood lately.
Who knows when he might lead a great army to invade Wakanda.
At that time...
If the Wakanda warriors had no weapons, they would only be at the mercy of others.
Listening to the old King's complaints, Su Ye had actually already made a decision.
Because before he came, the system had already explained it.
An ethnic war!
That old rascal Namo intended to start a war.
At this moment, Wakanda was already in a state of readiness for war.
Most of the previous Vibranium stock had been used to build spaceships and underwater warships.
They really couldn't bring it out, and even if they mined it on the spot, it would take a long time.
"If I stop this war and protect Wakanda,"
"would you and your people be willing to offer up your weapons?"
"I can assure you that there will be no casualties."
"I only want the Vibranium; I will never affect your lives."
Su Ye looked down at the elderly man in front of him and put forward his conditions.
The old King before him was sincere enough, and Su Ye appreciated him.
He didn't mind standing on Wakanda's side to mediate this ethnic war.
"Stop the war?"
The old King was stunned.
Even the young man beside him stood there in a daze.
As well as that group of Wakanda warriors who hadn't left.
From the moment Su Ye descended, they had thought of all sorts of terrible outcomes.
Even the warriors present had prepared themselves to sacrifice in battle.
Some pessimistic ones even imagined their home being destroyed and no one surviving.
However...
They never imagined...
This unwelcome guest who came with ill intent was actually so reasonable.
He was willing to mediate this war, with the only cost being to offer up their weapons.
And he promised to protect their safety; no one would be harmed because of the war!
While the old King was still dazed, the young man beside him suddenly stepped forward.
"If you can stop this war, I am willing to lead by example!"
"I will offer up my weapons and the Vibranium I possess!"
The young man agreed to this deal on behalf of the old King and all the people of Wakanda.
Even for the isolated Wakanda, in reality, it was not peaceful.
The threat from the underwater kingdom was like a thorn stuck in their throat.
Between the two peoples, conflicts had occurred frequently in the past.
And every conflict resulted in bloodshed.
Those were tragedies for individual families...
They were scars in the hearts of the Wakanda people...
If...
Su Ye could truly mediate this impending war, he would be saving countless families!
At that time...
This outsider would surely become a hero of Wakanda!
To the young man's inquiry, Su Ye only smiled faintly.
His body rose from the ground and he flew toward the sky again.
It was only then...
That Su Ye recognized the young man's identity...
T'Challa!
The Prince of Wakanda!
The next Black Panther!
But at this moment, he was clearly not mature enough.
He still needed time to settle and grow until he was qualified enough to inherit his father's throne.
Su Ye looked down at T'Challa, confidently spread his fingers, and said with a smile.
"Five minutes from now."
"Wakanda and Talokan will have no more disputes."
"That young man, you can start the timer now."
As his voice faded.
Su Ye turned and left gracefully, flying in the direction of the coastline.
Leaving behind a group of dumbfounded Wakanda people with wide eyes.
Five minutes!
How could such a thing be possible!
...
Leaving Wakanda...
Su Ye's flight speed was extremely fast, and he reached the coastline in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the surging sea, he activated his X-Ray Vision ability again.
In less than a few seconds...
He locked onto the lost kingdom located on the seabed...
Unlike the neighboring Atlantis, the environment here was clearly much darker.
It even had some Lovecraftian elements; one who didn't know better might think it was R'lyeh!
"Damn you, Hans Christian Andersen!"
"Fairy tales are all lies!"
Su Ye scanned the entire seabed but couldn't find a single mermaid.
His wish to find a mermaid as a partner had completely fallen through.
He only saw a group of aquatic humans swimming rapidly toward the main city.
And on the throne in the main city, the King of the Seven Seas, named Namo, was giving a speech.
His impassioned speech carried a hint of an old acquaintance.
The crowd of aquatic humans below, armed and ready for battle, were also roaring.
The scene was truly spectacular!
Namo stood before the throne, listening to the thunderous sounds of praise, and let out a few soft hums of enjoyment.
Yet he was completely unaware...
That in the next few seconds, he would face what a tragic catastrophe!
Chapter 68: King of the Seven Seas? The Tragedy of Atlantis!
The underwater kingdom...
Namo spread his arms wide, raising them high above his head, relishing this supreme pleasure.
He loved this feeling; it was the privilege enjoyed by the King of the Seven Seas!
However...
The cheers of his subjects came to an abrupt halt...
Replaced by a flurry of panicked discussion...
The smile on Namo's face gradually faded, replaced by a gloomy frown.
He hated being forcibly interrupted by the outside World when he was happy!
He looked around in confusion...
Only to discover that all his subjects were gazing up at the throne behind him!
Sensing that something was wrong, Namo turned around, belatedly realizing the situation.
Then...
He saw a scene he would never be able to forget for the rest of his life.
At some unknown moment...
A handsome, black-haired man, over two meters tall and with a burly build, was sitting on the throne that rightfully belonged to him.
When had he appeared...
No one knew...
The man was wearing golden alloy armor, and a blood-red cape floated behind him.
An invisible barrier separated the man from the outside World; even the seawater could not seep in.
Just by sitting there, he radiated a terrifying aura that belonged to an emperor!
"You... are Namo?"
Su Ye scrutinized the man in front of him and asked playfully.
The Namo before him was the version that appeared in the movies.
He was only one meter seventy-eight tall, and his muscles weren't particularly burly.
The clothes he wore were styled like the Mayan civilization.
But the material they were made of clearly contained Vibranium.
His weapon was a Vibranium spear, not a trident.
On his ankles, there was also a pair of tiny little wings.
To be fair...
This guy had absolutely none of the majesty of a King of the Seven Seas.
Instead, he looked like a street kid selling contraband.
The moment his eyes met Su Ye's...
Namo's body began to tremble uncontrollably...
That oppressive feeling, as if coming from a natural predator, almost extinguished Namo's courage entirely!
"Yes..."
Namo opened his dry mouth, but he dared not ask the other party's identity.
Over the long years, he had clashed with gods.
Even Thor had to show him some respect underwater.
But now...
Facing the man before him, he didn't even dare to harbor the slightest desire to fight.
Although he was arrogant, he was not stupid!
The disparity in strength between them was like a towering giant god looking down upon an ant on the ground.
Any provocation on his part would bring destructive disaster upon himself and his people.
The weak have no dignity...
He could only choose to submit, and as an inferior, revere the strong man before him.
Namo's cowardly actions made the atmosphere at the scene even more oppressive.
Some of the aquatic humans who saw that things were going south had already conceived the idea of fleeing the scene.
But under Su Ye's terrifying aura, they were physically unable to move.
"I heard you want to start a war?"
Su Ye lifted his left foot and stepped onto the throne, shifting into a more comfortable position.
Yet not a single person dared to step forward to stop this humiliating act of trampling upon the kingdom's dignity!
"I..."
"I didn't..."
"I... I love peace the most!"
"Long live peace! Long, long live!"
Namo shook his head rapidly with a panicked expression, stuttering as he told a little lie.
He dared not admit at all that he intended to wage war against Wakanda.
He only hoped that this living ancestor could leave the underwater World as soon as possible.
But the smile on Su Ye's face gradually froze.
He could clearly hear Namo's erratic heartbeat.
And that panicked, guilty expression on his face.
And the way he unconsciously licked his lips, his gaze drifting, not daring to meet his eyes.
Every one of his behaviors proved that he was lying and not telling the truth.
Su Ye raised his right hand and activated telekinesis in Namo's direction.
An irresistible, terrifying gravitational force caused Namo's feet to lift off the ground, and he flew toward Su Ye!
Su Ye grabbed Namo by the neck, easily subduing him.
His indifferent eyes looked as if he were observing a corpse.
"I usually despise two types of people."
"Bastards who launch wars of aggression."
"And idiots who try to deceive me."
"Which type do you belong to?"
"Or perhaps, you fit both?"
Su Ye's voice resonated from the throne, echoing throughout the entire scene.
He increased his strength just a fraction, yet it made Namo unable to breathe from the pain.
Namo painfully reached out, attempting to pry open Su Ye's tightening grip.
This ridiculous and feeble struggle looked like petulance in Su Ye's eyes.
"Rest assured..."
"I won't kill you..."
"Compared to destroying this husk, the despair branded deep into the loser's soul gives me more pleasure."
"I want you to witness with your own eyes how the underwater kingdom you take such pride in is destroyed by me."
A cruel smile appeared on Su Ye's face.
At this moment, even gods would be terrified if they saw him!
With the large hand gripping Namo's neck, he casually tossed him toward the surface of the sea above.
Namo's body tumbled wretchedly as it flew rapidly out of the underwater kingdom.
After leaving the ocean...
He still could not control his balance and was forced to fly toward Wakanda.
Following the not-yet-closed energy barrier, he plunged headlong onto the plaza of Wakanda.
After carving a trail of blood on the ground with his body, he finally came to a miserable stop.
Perhaps it was a coincidence...
Ten meters in front of the fallen Namo stood the King of Wakanda.
"Na... Namo?"
Looking at his fallen old rival, T'Chaka's face was filled with unconcealable shock.
Prince T'Challa, who was beside him, and the group of Wakanda warriors on the plaza were also stunned into silence!
Namo's power could even rival that of gods!
This King of the Seven Seas was a walking natural disaster!
He was the approaching storm!
And the lingering gloom hanging over the heads of all the people of Wakanda!
But now...
He was like a dying old dog, tossed from the bottom of the sea onto the shore by someone!
This Lord of the Ocean had been defeated in his most advantageous environment!
The time since Su Ye left...
Had only been one minute...
However...
A scene even more terrifying was just beginning!
At this moment, in the underwater World...
When they saw their king easily defeated by that outsider.
All the people of Talokan present went crazy and began to flee in all directions.
Su Ye sat on the throne, watching this scene with indifference.
He activated his telekinesis once again.
But this time, what he moved was not people.
It was the entire Talokan, this underwater kingdom!
The originally calm seabed suddenly trembled violently!
Bottomless seabed fissures were rapidly peeling the kingdom's territory away from the seabed!
Under Su Ye's telekinesis, over a thousand square kilometers of land were rising from the depths of the seabed!
The kingdom lost for a thousand years: Atlantis!
Was about to be revealed to the World once again!
At this moment!
Early warning radars all over the World were flashing frantically!
An unprecedented apocalyptic catastrophe was about to descend!
The rapidly receding tide turned into hundreds-of-meters-high waves!
Accumulating World-destroying power, attempting to demolish all coastal cities in the World!
But before the tsunami could cause any destruction, it was forcibly quelled by an invisible, immense force!
Even the super earthquake, which should have caused civilization-level destruction, did not arrive as expected!
However...
The sky suddenly turned dim...
Day turned into night...
When the people of Wakanda working in the fields looked up in confusion.
Everyone stopped what they were doing, and the scene became silent.
They stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the sky.
As if their souls had been drained by some evil force.
They saw an unbelievable scene!
A piece of land floating high in the firmament!
And!
This floating land was moving just like a cloud!
Continuously closing in on the direction of the capital of Wakanda!
Chapter 69: System Rewards! A Suit and an Epic Talent?
Above Wakanda...
As that floating landmass approached the capital city.
Namo, struggling to climb up from the ground, knelt down in terror.
Unprecedented remorse shattered the last remnants of pride in his heart.
His people were aquatic humans; only by wearing masks and breathing apparatuses could they fight on land.
The sunlight on land would evaporate the moisture in their bodies. And severe dehydration would directly endanger their lives!
If the entire Talokan were to rise from the seabed into the sky and be exposed to the radiation of the Sun!
The vast majority of the people of Talokan would die from dehydration within an hour!
This would be the destruction of their nation and the extinction of their race in the truest sense!
He should not have started this war!
And he certainly shouldn't have tried to be clever, attempting to deceive a true deity!
This was all his fault, yet all his people had to bear the consequences!
He was the sinner of [Talokan]; he had ruined everything!
"No!"
"My kingdom!"
"My people!"
"For the sake of the gods, I beg you to spare them!"
"If you must inflict punishment, please punish me alone!"
Namo knelt on the ground, howling miserably, begging for the deity's forgiveness.
He had experienced Su Ye's power; the other party could crush him like an ant!
He had no ability to fight back; he could do nothing.
Silence was a plague, spreading across the city square.
The scene was eerily quiet, save for Namo's wails.
At this moment...
Everyone set aside the hatred in their hearts...
Looking with pity at that King of the Seven Seas...
The warriors of Wakanda began to feel a strange sense of relief.
If it weren't for their king using wisdom and sincerity to clear up the misunderstanding, perhaps all of Wakanda would have been sunk into the ocean by Su Ye.
Su Ye's super hearing could hear every sound in the world.
He could naturally hear the choked, pleading words of Namo kneeling below.
Su Ye smiled with satisfaction.
The effect of this intimidation was even more effective than he had anticipated.
He rose from his throne, his figure descending back to the ground.
"This was just a small warning."
"There will not be a second chance."
"If you dare to start a war again, I will throw your kingdom into the desert."
"I will let you watch your people bake under the Sun, dying one by one."
Su Ye hovered above Namo's head, speaking in a cold tone.
"I agree!"
"I am willing to pay any price for this!"
"I only ask that you spare my people!"
Namo said this with sincerity, no longer daring to tell a single lie.
"I need Vibranium."
"This is your only chance."
Su Ye landed on the ground, walked past Namo, and reminded him with a smile.
Namo's heart skipped a beat. He maintained his kneeling posture and looked to the side.
He finally understood... why this deity had attacked him!
He was a Superhero invited by [Wakanda]!
That cunning king of Wakanda must have produced enough Vibranium to satisfy the other party's demands!
"I am willing to offer you the same amount of Vibranium as Wakanda."
"I only ask that you spare the underwater kingdom and let my people live."
Namo smiled bitterly, suppressing the heartache, and offered a generous condition.
"That's what you said."
Su Ye revealed a satisfied smile; this bargaining chip was very appealing to him.
He casually snapped his fingers, and that terrifying telekinetic power was activated once more.
He ordered the Atlantis floating in the sky to return along the route it had come from.
It was expected to return to its original position in a few minutes.
Namo looked up pitifully at his home, which was starting to fly back.
He didn't say anything, just covered his face and knelt on the ground weeping.
He had lost his dignity. But he had saved his home.
Beside him, T'Chaka watched his old rival's dejected appearance, feeling a sense of empathetic powerlessness.
This was a punishment for Namo, but wasn't it also a warning for him?
"Namo, it's all over."
"There will be no more war."
T'Chaka sighed with emotion and extended his hand toward Namo.
"T'Chaka..."
Namo also looked at his old rival; he ultimately chose to accept the goodwill from the other side.
The palms of the two monarchs were clasped tightly together.
With T'Chaka's assistance, Namo stood up straight.
In the face of absolute power, they let go of their previous grievances.
They made mutual promises to be as close as family in the future and never start conflicts again.
In the afternoon...
A grand ceremony was held in the square of Wakanda.
The Lord of Talokan and the King of Wakanda appeared there at the same time.
Under Su Ye's witness...
The two kingdoms that had been fighting endlessly signed a peace agreement.
Afterward...
There was a lively celebratory banquet...
Su Ye sat on a bench in the square, watching the residents of Wakanda dancing passionate tribal dances.
Some bold young Black women invited him to join, but he politely declined with a smile.
Wakanda was a tribal ecological society under a monarchical system, a hidden kingdom where primitive ecology and technology coexisted.
The residents here had wildness flowing in their blood; they worshipped the strong and revered the heroes who protected their home.
The immense power Su Ye had displayed had already been elevated to the level of a deity.
He had ended a conflict that had lasted for centuries, bringing true peace to the kingdom.
The people here worshipped him and revered him.
The young maidens longed for this god's affection, hoping for the arrival of a [Child of God]!
It was just a pity...
Su Ye couldn't quite appreciate dark chocolate. He preferred white chocolate, like Hill.
A mixed-race girl with fair skin and beauty like Zoe also had a unique appeal.
Even though the young maidens' enthusiasm had reached the point of crazy displays of affection, he remained completely unmoved.
[Ding—!]
[You have prevented the war between two kingdoms and handled the incident perfectly!]
[You have saved countless families and are an undisputed Superhero!]
[You chose to help Wakanda and received an item reward: Black Panther Suit!]
[You chose to help Talokan and received a talent reward: Animal Affinity!]
Item Codex
Name: Black Panther Suit
Quality: Excellent [Blue]

[Note: You can master the accompanying technology through reverse engineering.]
Talent Codex
Name: Animal Affinity
Quality: Epic [Orange]
Description: You radiate a certain special charm and are very popular with animal friends!
The system's golden screen appeared before Su Ye.
A blue-quality suit, and a useless skill.
The former integrated nanotechnology and could perhaps be given to Dr. Cho, as she was also an expert in this field.
As for the latter...
Although it was an Epic-level reward...
But the effect was speechless...
Increasing affinity with animals...
Didn't this mean he would have many animal friends in the future?
Bad grades, animal friends—what the hell was this damn sense of déjà vu? What exactly was going on!
Just as Su Ye was feeling speechless, a strange sound rang in his ears!
Su Ye turned his head curiously, following the sound.
Then...
He saw dozens of huge, pitch-Black Panthers, their bodies radiating a fantastical purple mist, walking to his side.
These giant panthers transformed into robust men and women.
They crossed their hands over their chests, performing a certain special gesture of respect.
It was as if they were thanking Su Ye for bringing peace to Wakanda.
After the gesture...
These people smiled and transformed back into giant Black Panthers one by one.
They vanished into the purple mist, as if they had never appeared at all.
"What the hell?"
Su Ye rubbed his eyes, murmuring to himself in confusion.
Just then...
An aged voice answered his confusion.
"Those are the Ancestral Spirits; they are the past Black Panthers who once existed."
"In Wakanda, death is not the end, but a brand new beginning."
"Great Su, since the Ancestral Spirits have chosen you, you have the qualification to become the King of Wakanda!"
Chapter 70: Vibranium Obtained! Tony is Shocked to the Point of Breakdown!
Today is a grand event unseen in a century.
The entire Wakanda, all its tribes, are holding celebrations.
Even the elderly King has changed into a special outfit.
T'Chaka came to Su Ye's side, explaining the reason for all this.
Every generation of Black Panther only gains the qualification to reach the Ancestral Plane after drinking the special Heart-Shaped Herb concoction.
They must also use the intense emotions in their hearts to summon the spirit of an ancestor and converse with them.
But Su Ye is different...
It was the Ancestral Spirits who actively sought him out; in the history of Wakanda, this is truly unprecedented!
Power! Prestige! Su Ye lacks neither!
If he were to ascend the throne, he would undoubtedly become the greatest Black Panther!
"Forget it..."
"I have no desire to become the chieftain of some reclusive tribe."
"Watching a bunch of black dudes baring their teeth at me all day long."
"I know nothing about governing a country. The only way I can think of to develop the economy is to grow cotton!"
"Also..."
"When you say my name, can you please skip the word 'great'?"
"If my friends found out, they'd laugh at me for the rest of my life!"
Su Ye shrugged, using words as bold as a lion to bluntly reject the throne of Wakanda.
The friends he referred to included Tony.
That guy's mouth is like it's been dipped in poison.
If he found out about this, he would definitely laugh his head off and tease him about it every chance he got.
Furthermore...
Su Ye came for [Vibranium].
Wakanda meets Su Ye's needs, and he brings peace to Wakanda.
As long as the cooperation between the two sides can continue, he is satisfied.
King? Not even a dog would do it!
[Killmonger: Meow meow meow!]
Just as the two were chatting, the young T'Challa also walked over.
He was holding the hand of a black girl, who had a pair of lively eyes.
She was full of curiosity about Su Ye; this girl was clearly not someone to be trifled with.
"Great Su..."
The moment T'Challa opened his mouth, he used the same title as his father.
"Spare me!"
Su Ye complained helplessly.
His immense superpower had not made him arrogant or conceited.
Always holding true to his original intentions, he is actually an optimistic and easygoing person.
He is very easy to get along with and has no airs.
Furthermore, he does not like being treated as a deity.
He prefers to enjoy life peacefully as an ordinary person.
Friends who have spent a long time with him would all notice this.
As for the posturing from before... it was because they weren't familiar with each other...
Su Ye had to put on a strong front to secure benefits for himself.
But now...
He ended a tribal war and brought eternal peace to the two kingdoms.
The people here worship him, revere him, and genuinely treat him as a friend.
Su Ye could no longer maintain that ugly, aggressive face from before.
Seeing Su Ye say this, T'Challa also revealed a relieved smile.
As the next successor to the kingdom, his judgment of people is quite good.
He had already sensed that the powerhouse in front of him was an extremely easygoing person.
"Then how should I address you?"
"Call you: Su?"
T'Challa asked, puzzled.
"Whatever."
"A name is just a code name."
Su Ye smiled indifferently, responding to T'Challa.
That guy Tony had even called him [Son of God].
"This is my sister: Su Rui."
"She has been pestering me to meet you."
T'Challa brought his sister forward and introduced her to Su Ye.
Su Ye became interested and looked at the dark-skinned girl in front of him.
Su Rui... one of the top geniuses in humanity...
She can stand alongside Tony, Banner, Pym, and others; she is a true genius.
When she was in her teens, she was already able to create nano-suits for her brother.
Su Ye must recruit such a super talent into his scientific research team!
It's just a pity... currently, Su Rui is still too young...
Her knowledge is not yet sufficient...
She is only a few years old, and her height is not even as tall as Zoe!
[Zoe: It's time to take out the Book of Hatred!]
"Your sister looks very smart."
Su Ye smiled at little Su Rui.
After hesitating for a moment, he politely and graciously praised her.
He had wanted to say something like "cute," but his conscience wouldn't allow it.
"Su..."
"I am here to fulfill our agreement..."
T'Challa stepped forward and pulled a short baton from behind his back.
He gripped it tightly, seemingly triggering some mechanism.
New components quickly popped out from both sides of the baton, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a Vibranium spear.
T'Challa held the spear horizontally and handed it to Su Ye.
"You brought peace to Wakanda, so I will fulfill my promise."
"I offer my weapon, and the Vibranium I possess, all to you."
As T'Challa finished speaking, he thrust the Vibranium spear in his hand into the ground at his feet.
Next... two female attendants pushed over a small cart and placed it in front of T'Challa.
T'Challa took off the ring on his hand, the necklace around his neck, and his bracelets.
He placed these ornaments made of Vibranium onto the cart one by one.
After doing all this, he left with his sister.
However... when Su Rui was leaving, she also learned from her brother and took off her own hairband.
Although there was reluctance on her face, she still placed it in the cart before quietly leaving.
Yes... these Wakandans are simply outrageous!
Even the decorations on their hairbands are made of Vibranium!
The hairband Su Rui left behind would be worth at least hundreds of thousands of U.S. dollars in the outside World!
T'Challa set an example... many Wakandan warriors and young women followed suit.
Spear after spear of Vibranium, piece after piece of Vibranium ornaments.
They imitated T'Challa and offered them to the hero before them.
T'Chaka watched silently.
He never doubted Su Ye's intentions for needing this Vibranium.
Because with Su Ye's ability, he could completely wipe everyone out!
He has no need to cover things up with lies; the mechs he builds must be for the peace of the World!
If he wanted to destroy this World, his own strength alone could easily do it!
In a short while... the square in front of Su Ye had turned into a bamboo forest formed by spears!
And the small cart pushed over by the attendants had also piled up into a small mountain, at least a hundred pounds!
Not only that! Perhaps feeling there was too little Vibranium, T'Chaka had also prepared a surprise.
He ordered people to fly over ten Vibranium fighter jets, and after activating the unmanned mode, they hovered in mid-air.
These dangerous big guys, which easily weighed tens of tons.
These could not be compared to those spears.
Refining the Vibranium inside would yield at least several thousand pounds!
To add some liveliness to tonight's banquet.
Su Ye decided to refine them on the spot, extracting the purest Vibranium from these gifts!
He slightly raised his palm, and his telekinesis activated again.
One by one, the Vibranium spears trembled, emitting a loud humming sound, and then broke out of the ground.
Like flying swords in the hands of an immortal, they floated in the sky one by one.
Transforming into a black dragon, it sped across from a hundred meters in the sky!
Then it precisely embedded itself into the outer armor of the ten Vibranium fighter jets.
This scene... had a bit of the momentum of [Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin]...
Immediately after... Su Ye gripped his hand in the air...
Those ten Vibranium fighter jets, like pieces of dough, were forcibly squeezed together!
His black and white eyes lit up with golden iris rings, further highlighting his divinity!
Under everyone's gaze, the fighter jets squeezed together quickly dissolved into liquid.
Su Ye accurately extracted the different metals based on their different melting points.
Under his telekinesis, these metals were molded into huge metal blocks.
Besides Vibranium, there were many other rare metals that the Sentinel Mech happened to need.
"I won't take those ornaments."
Su Ye looked at T'Chaka on the side, revealing a brilliant smile.
The Vibranium he harvested was enough to build hundreds of Sentinel Mech.
For him currently, this quantity was already enough.
And those ornaments... a considerable portion of them embodied emotions...
It would be a bit of a pity to just melt them down like that...
It would be better to return them to those Wakandans and leave an impression of benevolence in their hearts.
"You are truly gentle..."
The old King also understood Su Ye's intention, and the smile on his face revealed his gratitude.
"I'm leaving."
"If Wakanda encounters danger, remember to contact me."
Su Ye simply left behind a promise, and his body flew towards the sky.
Carrying dozens of tons of rare metals, including Vibranium, he disappeared into the sky above Wakanda.
A few minutes later... inside Tony's underground laboratory...
Tony, who was developing a new Iron Man Suit, received a call from Su Ye.
"What?"
"You're asking me if I have a spare warehouse?"
"What do you need to store?"
"Four tons of Vibranium?"
"W! T! F?!"
