Bast.
Bastet.
In Wakandan culture, she symbolizes war and healing, and represents guardianship and the moon!The Heart-Shaped Herb, which grants each Black Panther transcendent powers, is a gift from the Panther Goddess!
Since ancient times, Bast has protected Wakanda.
She thrives on the worship and offerings of the Wakandan people.
Faith!
It is the essential sustenance for all gods on Earth.
Without faith…
Regardless of rank, divine power will diminish drastically.
Until the name is erased by the river of time, the deity itself will vanish!
Therefore, even defying the laws set by the Cosmic Deities, Bast must appear to help Wakanda expel the ancient demons!
Let's put it another way.
The resurgence of the ancient demons has already drawn the attention of the Cosmic Deities!
According to rumors, some of the deities are genuinely curious about the mysterious factors within the ancient demons.If one could capture an ancient demon alive and offer it to the deities…
The gods might even reward them!
"Long live the Panther Goddess!"
"Wakanda will prevail!"
"Above the heavens, elegant and beautiful, she will surely subdue the ancient demons!"
"After all, this is the great cat that once slew the evil god Apophis!"
The warriors of the tribes shouted with earsplitting voices, their morale soaring once more!
Bast.
Also known as the Cat-Headed Goddess.
This is the faith of the majority of Wakandans.
Some tribes worship the Tiger God or Ape God.
But no other deity could ever rival the Panther Goddess!
The first Black Panther!
Even the god-king Odin personally sought her out!
Together with the first Iron Fist, the first Phoenix, the first Ghost Rider, and the first Supreme Sorcerer, they formed an unprecedented superhero alliance.
Fighting in unison against the demons and monsters of prehistoric times.
Even the Cosmic Deities would not dare underestimate this super squad!
"…Bast!"
"How dare she show herself!"
"Suicidal!"
The Thunder Demon roared with fierce intensity, his face twisted in rage. Lightning arcs ran across his body as he gripped a long spear charged with electric energy.
Bast.
In the long, ancient era, she had no reputation whatsoever.Strictly speaking, Bast, like the Great Tengu, was a native demon born of negative energy—a true primordial demon!
The key!
Bast betrayed the demon faction, joining the service of the Egyptian Sun God and earning Atum's favor!Successfully consolidating divine status!
The line between god and demon is not as clear as imagined.
However, without consolidating divine status, even with faith, one is considered a false god!
Evil god!
Why were the Eight Immortals who subdued ancient demons called divine warriors?Because their merit forged divine status, allowing them to ascend!
"Apophis…"
"One of the ancient demons!"
"Imprisoned underground by Bast!"
Basha's eyes were blood-red, her voice eerie as she hissed in hatred.
Apophis.
Regarded as an ancient evil and destructive demon.
Born in the depths of the earth, a curse incarnate.
Formed of soul from sin and hatred, its body composed of water and earth elements, appearing like a black-and-yellow giant serpent.
It also commands the power of the divination trigrams!
Fuxi used the He Tu and Luo Shu to derive the Eight Trigrams.
Through the I Ching, the Eight Trigrams evolved into sixty-four hexagrams!
Thus, there are sixty-four ancient demons in total!
Ancient demons mostly served as negative roles in ancient myths and legends, acting as villains crushed by the children of destiny!Forever barred from reincarnation!
"You too will fall into the depths, into the endless abyss, never to tread the mortal realm again!"
Bast's voice rang out like a mighty bell.
Solemn.
Majestic.
Divine.
The rolling sound waves spread like unprecedented energy shockwaves, radiating toward the ancient demons!
"Have the Earth gods decided to intervene in Middle Earth affairs?"
Shendu smiled wryly.
Crack!
Gripping the colossal spear!Black lightning crackled around it.A dazzling rainbow-like energy beam surged across the sky with unstoppable force, colliding with the shockwave!
Buzz!!
Dimensions cracked, the earth shattered.
The collapsing sacred mountain split apart!Countless boulders fell, cliffs crumbled, and Wakandan buildings toppled in heaps!
"Looks like Bast's faith is strong!"
"She has reached the level of a High Father!"
Dikui's voice rumbled.
The Earth gods are collectively called the Heavenly Fathers.
But even the Heavenly Fathers have ranks:
Low-tier Father.Mid-tier Father.High-tier Father.Omnipotent Father.
Theoretically, even a Low-tier Father can match a High-tier Demon.
Because faith—the positive emotions and spiritual energy of all things—provides the Earth gods with unprecedented combat enhancement.
Additionally, divine authority can counter dark creatures!
Lords of Hell and Earth gods exist in a love-hate extreme.
Where there is Hell, there is Heaven!
"Unfortunately…"
"Ancient demons and lords of hell are still two separate species."
"Your divine status means nothing."
Bogan sneered.
Ancient demons.
Essentially elemental demons!
Natural offspring of ancient gods and demons.
As long as heaven and earth endure, and the trigrams exist, the strength of ancient demons will not diminish.
Moreover, each ancient demon present carries another identity:Noble Demon Sorcerer!
Long before prehistoric times, before humankind existed, thousands of demon sorcerers roamed the Earth!
The secret arts, magic, scrolls, and spells passed down later were all their intellectual property!
"Earthquake!!"
Dikui, with his quadruped, lion-like face and arms longer than knees, swung forcefully, unleashing massive earth magic!
Crack! Crack!
Deep chasms tore open across the land.
Armored rhinoceros war chariots couldn't turn in time…
They plummeted into the abyss!
Life or death unknown!
"Thunder Strike!"
Zhong Su raised his hand, pointing to the Panther Goddess standing atop the sacred mountain.
Forked lightning shot across hundreds of kilometers, almost reaching Bast's snout!
Whoosh!
Bast leapt into the air, her form transforming dramatically—now upright.
Cat-head.
Female body.
Elegant curves.
Graceful and beautiful.
This was Bast's second response to Wakanda's call, descending into Middle Earth!
It is said her first appearance was in the distant prehistoric era, guiding the Heart-Shaped Herb to the first Black Panther, laying the foundation for Wakanda.
"The era of ancient demons is over."
"Your actions have angered the rulers of the Great Luo Heaven. The descendants of the Eight Immortals will surely subdue you again!"
Bast's voice was cold.
Dodging Zhong Su's lightning strike, she teleported elsewhere.
And publicly revealed crucial information to the enemy.
"Descendants of the divine warriors?"
"I hate flowers!"
"Holy Lord!"
"You said you could handle this!"
The demon lords on-site shouted in succession.
Zhong Su.Dikui.Bogan.Basha.
Even Shendu and all other ancient demons feared the threat of divine relics!
Fall into hell, and eternal damnation awaits!
Trapped in an alternate dimension…
Until the end of time!
"Leave Wakanda."
"I will show you a clear path."
The Cat-Headed Goddess spoke alluringly, her tail swishing behind her.
Even from afar, her words were crystal clear.
A clear path?
"Who can guarantee you'll keep your promise?"
Shendu smirked.
This trick—he was the master of it!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!
Shadows flowed from all directions, converging into nine distinct forms, standing silently.
Ninja corps!Samurai corps!Trolls!Claw shadows!Scythe shadows!Soft shadows!Food shadows!Air shadows!Clamp shadows!
Nine corps made a dazzling appearance!
In massive formations, they covered the mountains!
Then, the Mummy General, commander of the nine corps, appeared.
The pervasive corrupt energy of the Shadow Kingdom had fully embraced darkness, becoming puppets under Shendu's control!
"Mummies?!"
Bast's pupils trembled.
So many mummies!
How could ancient demons command undead without conscience?
The key!
These undead possessed unprecedented strength!
Even battle-hardened tribal warriors could not resist!
It was time to burn the power of faith, blessing the elite of the elite!
Buzz!
Bast chanted solemnly, her ancient, rhythmic language echoing across the heavens.
Brilliant lights enveloped the tribal formations!The warriors' bodies multiplied, growing taller, as if blessed by Bast!
They now possessed the physique to fight the Mummy Generals!
What… was happening?!
Even the High Priest gaped.
"Faith power…"
"Can it rival endurance and trigram power?"
Shendu laughed.
"Let's see how much faith she can burn!"
Zhong Su's face twisted in rage.
Faith.
The manifestation of thought and spirit in nature.
A real depiction of mind influencing matter.
Of course.
Without divine status, one cannot gather or harness faith!
Divine status is essentially the container of faith.
Since ancient times, all praise and worship of Bast gradually convert into faith, stored within the divine status.
All of Bast's abilities consume a portion of this faith.
Once faith is depleted…
Life ends!
Thus, the Earth gods are in constant decline!
Technology replaced magic, chemistry explained the mystical, physics overthrew superstition!
No one is exempt!
Even the Panther Goddess…
Bast felt her heart bleed.
Faith power had clearly dropped!
"If I can repel the ancient demons, I will awaken everyone's faith, elevating my rank even further!"
Bast imagined.
But reality was harsh.
The ancient demon lords of yore would not care for such trivial power.
Crack! Crack!
Black lightning enveloped her spear.
Venom symbiote screeched.
The bird-and-beast patterns on the handle glowed brilliantly.
"This move!"
"Here it comes!"
"A combo strong enough to destroy heaven and earth!"
"Ba! Hai!"
Zhong Su, Dikui, Bogan, and Basha watched eagerly, anticipating Ba Hai's intimidation!
Buzz!
Blinding light filled the sky.
Leaders observing Wakanda via satellites, high-tech agencies, and military units hastily shielded their eyes to avoid blindness!
After the light faded…
The ground showed a fan-shaped depression, as if a layer of fertile soil had been lifted away!Skyscrapers at the horizon collapsed!
Flattened!
Entire buildings were thrown aside, like batteries shot into the distance!
Those inside the buildings were tossed like leaves in a storm.
Dizzy and disoriented!
Even Vibranium jets malfunctioned!
Pilots, despite rigorous training, could not withstand the mental shock and fainted!
"Bast."
"How much faith power does this attack consume?"
Shendu's face darkened.
"Probably all of her faith!"
A woman in a kimono mocked with crossed arms.
"Bast!"
"You cannot protect Wakanda!"
The Water Demon narrowed her eyes, hair like tentacles, manipulating raging currents, creating cataclysmic floods!
Massive currents washed everything away…
As if erasing all traces of Wakanda!
Meow!!
A sharp roar echoed in all directions.
The Cat-Headed Goddess leapt, expanding to towering proportions, her paw smashing the incoming mudslide!
Burning the power of faith!
With it, gods can achieve anything!
The key…
"How much faith can you burn?"
Shendu laughed loudly.
Simultaneously, the power of the Chicken and Rabbit talismans surged, and he shot toward the towering Cat-Headed Goddess, forming a shimmering rainbow-like trail!
Bast!
At the same time, several Mummy Generals led their troops against Wakanda's warriors.
Armored rhino troops charged with unstoppable force.
Iron hooves stomped!
Single horns rammed!
Except for the troll corps, no one could resist the rhino charge!
The rhinos, bred over generations in Wakanda, had perfect attributes.
Strong limbs, Vibranium armor, charging at 45 km/h!
In an instant, countless shadow warriors were crushed!
Roar!
Deafening bellows!
Like a speeding train!
Five-meter-tall warriors in yellow armor charged forward!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Red Tank threw multiple rhino chariots aside with sheer force!
"This!!"
"Hulk?!"
"Lifting rhino forelimbs by hand?!"
Gasp!
Brenzanna.
Golden-decorated palace.
Tribal elders and the aged king exclaimed in shock.
"Time to deploy Hulk Destroyer!"
Princess Su Rui suggested.
Hulk Destroyer.
A mech suit inspired by Veronica's armor.
Crafted from ultra-pure Vibranium, following Tony Stark's modular design.
Only previous Black Panthers may wear it!
In this world…
Wakanda, the Avengers…
Kamateji…
All experienced a technological leap due to the revival of the ancient demons.
