The direction Maria Hill pointed to was nowhere else.
It was precisely the direction where the true Wakanda was located, the primeval forest that Wakanda used to deceive the outside World.
The battle between Hulk and Hulk had ended, but S.H.I.E.L.D.'s battle had just begun.
After all, both Hulk and Hulk had suddenly emerged from that forest.
So…
While S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Commander was chatting with Hulk, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents on the ground had already run to the edge of Wakanda, and after scanning the barrier at Wakanda's border and getting the results, they reported the information into Maria Hill's hidden earpiece.
Hulk looked in the direction Maria Hill was pointing.
What he saw was more than a dozen S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, with excited expressions, holding various instruments and scanning the invisible barrier in front of them.
Maria Hill observed Hulk's expression.
"Can't you tell me?"
"I can."
Hulk came back to his senses, looked at Maria Hill, and shrugged: "That is Wakanda, the real Wakanda."
Maria Hill was slightly stunned.
Hulk then briefly explained how Wakanda had been developing quietly by occupying Vibranium mines while pretending to be poor and begging for aid from the United Nations.
There was no exaggeration, just pure truth.
The fact was, Wakanda was actually a high-tech country that had developed itself by relying on Vibranium mines, but outwardly, it pretended to be a poor small country, scamming the United Nations for economic aid and food subsidies.
If they hadn't been scamming the United Nations for economic aid and food subsidies, Hulk would have looked up to them.
But now, sorry, not even a little.
Because the economic aid and food subsidies that Wakanda scammed might seem insignificant or even contemptible to them, but if these things were given to small countries that truly needed help, many people would not starve to death for nothing.
So…
What is black is black; no matter how advanced their technology, no matter how much they appear human, they will never truly become one.
Hulk thought to himself.
Maria Hill, listening to Hulk's narration, was once again shocked.
More shocked than when she had just learned that Hulk was shouting at Mephisto, threatening to cut off his head and use it as a urinal.
Because Mephisto was too far away.
Wakanda was too close.
She could not connect the impoverished small country that constantly asked for economic aid and food subsidies at United Nations conferences with the Wakanda described by Hulk, which possessed vast amounts of Vibranium and technology far surpassing the World's most advanced standards.
Hulk looked at the shocked Maria Hill, suddenly thought of Anna, who had helped him a lot, and smiled slightly.
"You don't believe it?"
"Frankly, not really."
Maria Hill came back to her senses, looked at Hulk, and chose to tell the truth.
Hulk smiled faintly, said nothing, but looked at the Vibranium energy barrier in the distance that protected the true Wakanda from exposure.
Wakanda.
Royal Palace Command Center.
After an emergency rescue, Old King T'Chaka, who had just fainted, had awakened.
But…
How long could he stay awake?
He was old, too old to be Black Panther anymore. Although it seemed he was only kicked away by Hulk at Sacred Mountain, Hulk's kick was enough to break an ordinary person in half instantly. Although T'Chaka only fainted at the time, the injury had already formed.
The reason T'Chaka was still alive at this moment was partly due to high-end medical care, and partly because the enemy was still in front of him.
At this moment.
T'Chaka, sitting in a wheelchair in the command center, looked at the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents currently outside Wakanda's border on the projection.
Although Wakanda was ostensibly a poor African country, it was still a legitimately recognized country by the United Nations.
Therefore, as the King of a country, T'Chaka naturally knew about S.H.I.E.L.D., which was jointly established by the United Nations' Five Great Benefactors to maintain World peace.
He had even signed documents authorizing S.H.I.E.L.D. to operate freely within his country, just like other Third World countries.
But knowing was one thing; Wakanda had not dealt with S.H.I.E.L.D. before this.
Of course.
S.H.I.E.L.D. also hadn't dealt with their Wakanda. After all, a poor small country that even African warlords looked down on was unlikely to be involved with World peace, and naturally wouldn't attract S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attention.
But after today, that would no longer be the case.
For some reason, when Old King T'Chaka saw Maria Hill, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Commander, and Hulk, who had brought this disaster upon their Wakanda, appearing in the projection, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Wakanda…
The days of isolation and peaceful years would probably end starting today.
Outside Wakanda's border.
Maria Hill took the tablet handed to her by a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, glanced at the data on it, then looked up at the huge golden dome, which appeared faintly after the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents' attack, and her face showed shock.
She somewhat believed the Wakanda that Hulk had just described.
However…
Maria Hill turned to look at Hulk: "How can we get in?"
Hulk raised an eyebrow: "We, no, no, no, I'm not going in, but if you want to go in, I can help you break this barrier."
His purpose in coming to Wakanda had been accomplished.
As for the rest of the Vibranium inside…
Whoever wants it can have it.
Just like Hulk's attitude towards money.
His own strength was the true king.
Money, Vibranium, it's enough as long as it's sufficient. Never lose sight of the main goal. As long as he retains his strength, when he needs money or Vibranium in the future, money and Vibranium will naturally come.
Maria Hill thought for a moment, then nodded seriously at Hulk: "Then I'll leave it to you, Hulk."
If Wakanda was truly as Hulk described, ostensibly a poor small country but actually a hidden nation with advanced technology and countless Vibranium, then the problem was serious and needed to be reported to the Five Great Benefactors as soon as possible.
In a word.
You, a small African country, secretly developing into a technological leader while clamoring for food subsidies, what do you want to do?
If you dare to develop secretly today, you'll dare to rebel tomorrow.
Therefore…
The issue must be confirmed. If the issue is true, then Wakanda must provide a reasonable explanation to the Five Great Benefactors for these issues.
Maria Hill said with a serious expression, then looked at Hulk, as if she had thought of something: "Do we need to move aside so you can put on that shiny golden Iron Man Suit?"
Hulk was first stunned, then laughed heartily, looking at Maria Hill.
"Does it look good?"
"It looks good."
Maria Hill nodded seriously, saying in a serious tone: "It looks much more imposing than Tony Stark's Iron Man Suit."
Hulk's lips curled up, and he said thank you.
As his words fell.
The phantom of Phoenix appeared behind him, followed by a Phoenix cry. The Phoenix Cloth components, which looked exactly like a Gold saint cloth but were actually Bronze-level, assembled. After a flash of fire, Hulk reappeared in front of Maria Hill, wearing the Phoenix Cloth.
A hint of undisguised amazement flashed in Maria Hill's eyes.
Beautiful.
With this saint cloth on, Hulk exuded a sense of beauty that symbolized extreme danger.
Hulk smiled faintly, looking at Maria Hill.
"You should have your people retreat."
"…Understood."
Maria Hill came back to her senses and quickly called for the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who were still studying the energy barrier to retreat.
Soon.
At her call, those S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, along with the excited scientists, retreated from the edge of Wakanda and stood far behind Hulk.
Wakanda Royal Palace Command Center.
Princess Suri turned to look at her father.
"Father."
"Direct all energy to the defensive shield. He just finished a great battle with that terrifying Hulk; he can't possibly still have the energy to defeat our defenses."
"Yes."
Princess Suri nodded and immediately ordered to increase the Vibranium energy defensive shield that protected their peaceful Wakanda.
Outside Wakanda's border, Hulk stood, his Little Universe slowly burning, and visible crimson aura began to appear around his body.
As the burning of his Little Universe reached its peak, Hulk's aura also reached its peak.
"Phoenix Wings Rise!"
A low roar, like the long cry of a Phoenix during Nirvana, tore through the silence of the air.
In an instant.
The fiery Phoenix phantom, emerging behind Hulk, followed his punch with a Phoenix cry. The fiery Phoenix followed suit, at a speed beyond physical limits, slamming into Wakanda's Vibranium barrier, which was said to absorb all kinetic energy and energy!
Boom—!!
Time seemed to completely freeze at this moment.
Instantly.
A deafening roar, enough to tear the soul, erupted.
In an instant, a golden, visible Vibranium barrier, covering the entire Wakanda, completely appeared in everyone's sight for the first time.
Vibranium indeed had the effect of absorbing all kinetic energy.
But…
No matter how much it absorbed, there was a limit. After exceeding that limit, it could no longer absorb.
Just like Thanos could cut Captain America's Vibranium shield in half with one blow.
At this moment, the Vibranium barrier, with ripples emanating from every corner, was just like that.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
"Energy shield remaining forty percent!"
"Twenty percent!"
"Five percent!!"
"Shit, subsequent energy replenishment is not keeping up!"
"Boom!!"
"Crack!"
Accompanied by a sound like something breaking, suddenly, the dome covering the true Wakanda, protecting it from being discovered by the outside World, shattered under Hulk's full-power strike.
At this moment.
The true Wakanda, possessing vast Vibranium mines, ostensibly impoverished but actually overflowing with wealth, was finally exposed to the eyes of the World!
