Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
The unique drum-like alarm of Wakanda echoed through the sky under the furious roar of T'Challa.
The Wakanda Black Barbarians, who believed they had defeated the invading enemy and successfully defended their homeland, were in a celebratory mood but froze at the unexpected sound of the alarm.
It's not that they hadn't heard the alarm before.
They had heard it not long ago, when the joint forces drove planes and tanks into their homeland.
But had their new King not led them to victory? Why was the alarm, symbolizing a great disaster and demanding all clan members take refuge in the capital, sounding again?
Just then.
Boom!
A purple beam accompanied by a rumble from the earth shot up from the heart of the Wakanda Royal Palace into the sky.
In the next second.
A ripple, tinged with golden light amidst the pale purple, spread at a visible speed, dispersing the surrounding clouds and started to slowly cover the capital of Wakanda like an overturned bowl.
The vibranium energy wave not only cleared away the clouds but also exposed Hawk quietly hovering behind the clouds.
A gigantic Phoenix's shadow had already appeared behind Hawk.
The phoenix flames raged fiercely!
The golden Phoenix Holy Armor shone amidst the furious flames.
The Wakandans below saw it.
Meanwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D., which had retreated near the Hell Passage, also noticed.
"Shit, how many are left?"
"Two squads left."
"Hurry them up."
Maria Hill, upon hearing, urgently spoke, then continued to look up at Hawk hovering above.
At this moment.
Amidst the raging phoenix fire, the Phoenix Holy Armor's pair of phoenix eyes shot out beams of light, instantly hitting Hawk.
In the next instant.
Endless Nirvana Fire erupted around Hawk, and the magnificent Phoenix Holy Armor swiftly covered him entirely—
Shoulder armor like burning wings.
Chest armor engraved with the phoenix totem of rebirth.
Arm and leg armor shimmering like molten lava.
Three phoenix tail feathers swayed behind.
Beneath the mask.
Hawk, who had just closed his eyes, slowly opened them, and a vision of the erupting Little Cosmos was reflected in his half-crimson-half-golden pupils.
Almost at the moment when the Phoenix Holy Armor possessed him, Hawk, having already reached his pinnacle, looked indifferently downwards.
Reacting, the Wakanda soldiers no longer cheered but fearfully screamed and desperately ran towards the city's capital, trying to enter before the vibranium shield fell.
From above.
They looked like swarming black ants trying to besiege a city.
Unfortunately, they failed.
The vibranium shield protecting Wakanda's capital did not delay its closure because of them.
Some unlucky ones tried to roll inside as the shield was about to fall, only to be brutally sliced in half by the descending vibranium shield.
Vertically sliced, yes.
Hovering above Wakanda's skies, Hawk eyed the shield that had fallen, razor-sharp gaze but remained silent, only casually but to those below, it seemed heavily, slowly brought his arms together before his chest.
Between his ten fingers, in his palms, a point of extremely compressed, heart-wrenching crimson light suddenly appeared and began to spin madly and coalesce.
The moment this crimson light emerged, it radiated a destructive heat so high that even the surrounding space warped.
As the crimson light expanded, a lifelike and vividly detailed fire phoenix was born from it.
"Phoenix!"
"Wings!"
"Sky!"
"Soar—"
Cold and apocalyptic, the four words, like judgment day, were uttered from Hawk's mouth when his gaze landed on the Wakanda areas below.
Instant!
With his fists aimed at Wakanda below, the flame phoenix, composed entirely of destructive energy, spread its wings, emitting a piercing phoenix cry with scorching temperatures capable of incinerating all things and instantly drying rivers and mountains, like a massive meteor dragging a long fiery tail, plummeted toward Wakanda at an unparalleled visual speed.
Notified in advance by Hawk, Maria Hill, at a safe location, looked at the horrifying fireball resembling a falling sun in utter shock.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Numerous feather-shaped fireballs struck first upon the vibranium energy shield above Wakanda's capital, unleashing intense golden energy ripples, followed closely by the flame phoenix fiercely ramming into the shield's center!
In an instant, the world seemed to be reforged!
An indescribable brightness emerged the moment the fire phoenix of destructive energy collided with the vibranium shield.
The peak of flame is white!
The glaring white light sliced through the vibranium shield like countless invisible scorching blades, continuing its unstoppable momentum toward the capital of Wakanda protected by the shield.
The white light flashed forth in all directions, as under this extreme white light, Wakanda's capital seemed to undergo an all-encompassing reformatting.
Yes.
Reformatting.
Trees on the streets were dissolved at the touch of the extreme white light.
Buildings on the streets likewise turned to ash in slow motion before vanishing under the intense white light.
As for the people.
Who is it, where is anyone.
Reporting requires evidence, even the New York Police Department knows the simplest thing.
No body, no case.
So...
High above, hovering in the air Hawk looked at the Wakanda area under the sweep of extreme white light and suddenly thought of a line from "Dream of the Red Chamber."
A vast expanse of whiteness, truly clean!
After today, if anyone enters the Wakanda area again, they will only exclaim in surprise at what they see.
What a barren wasteland!
No.
Not completely barren land.
Hawk looked at the only luxurious palace that appeared abruptly amidst the wasteland after the extreme white light and heat dissipated, raised an eyebrow, and disappeared from the spot.
When he appeared again, he looked at the Vibranium Energy Shield covered with web-like cracks in his view, raised an eyebrow, then extended his right hand to lightly touch the Vibranium Shield protecting the core palace of the Wakanda Royal Palace.
With a bang.
At the moment his finger lightly touched it, the Vibranium Shield shattered instantly.
The next moment.
A black light shot out from the luxurious palace, T'Challa under the Black Panther Battle Armor's eyes released endless fury, the Vibranium-made claw gleaming with sharp cold light.
Gone.
All gone.
The entire Wakanda no longer exists.
Tarak's voice sounded as if it came from Hell.
"Die!"
"Bang!"
Hawk threw a punch.
The Black Panther flying toward Hawk was instantly sent flying back, crashing with a bang against the only surviving palace wall.
Hawk was startled by the black object that suddenly flew out.
"What the hell is this!"
"Hawk!!"
T'Challa, who got up from the ground, accused Hawk angrily: "You killed my father, killed my people, killed all of them!"
Hawk now saw clearly what the black thing that charged out was.
Black Panther Warrior.
What was it called again.
As Hawk's thoughts turned, he had the answer, looking at Black Panther: "T'Challa, did you send someone to New York City?"
The Panther claw clenched.
"Yes, it was me."
"Oh!"
Hawk responded calmly after hearing this.
The next second.
His right hand instantly raised, as it opened towards the distant Black Panther, then clenched suddenly.
Whoosh!
The distant Black Panther, as if drawn by some force, flew suddenly toward Hawk's hand, obediently delivering his neck into Hawk's right hand.
The Panther's drooping right hand flashed with cold light, instantly stabbing toward Hawk's chest.
Hawk's eyes lowered, his pupils constricting!
"Ah!"
The Panther's right arm instantly bent at an unbelievable angle.
『Eye Impact!』
A noble wind tearing the opponent launched from the eyes.
Evil Martial had once used this move to greet Seiya.
This move wasn't even a skill exclusive to the Silver Saint Warriors; it was a skill known by the Bronze Saint Warriors.
It was Hawk's first time using it.
After all, he preferred the attack method of punches landing with flesh, which related to his persistence of hitting a sandbag for a thousand days without hitting a person.
Much like a movie sniper who spent days practicing shooting skills with a lot of bullets, yet never killed anyone until he wanted to try it on his last day before retirement.
Hawk's current state was roughly like that.
The Black Panther caught in his grasp gritted teeth and forced a voice through pressure: "Damn executioner, you killed my family, you killed my people."
Hawk glanced at Black Panther expressionlessly, saying nothing.
Under Telekinesis.
The Black Panther's recently eye-impaired right arm moved seemingly without his own control, slowly raising, directing the sharp Vibranium claw towards his own head.
Seeing this, Black Panther felt his Vibranium claw approaching his head uncontrollably, and his left hand stabbed toward Hawk again.
"Ah!"
Another scream.
Hawk ignored him.
Black Panther's eyes widened, the corner of his eyes watching the sharp Vibranium claw getting dangerously close to his head, and roared at the silent Hawk: "Damn executioner, answer me, why are you doing this to us, Wakanda, ah!!"
Hawk paused Black Panther's right hand temporarily, listened to Black Panther's words, and slowly opened the faceplate, staring at the Black Panther in his hand, his voice calm.
"You shouldn't have sent people to New York City."
"As for why this is happening to you?"
"Destroying you, what does it have to do with you!"
"Puff!"
"..."
