Chapter 148 - The Eyes of the World

 Not only Okoye and the warriors from Wakanda's other tribes, but even the well-traveled Old King gaped in astonishment.

He knew the Avengers were supposed to be superpowered beings, but he never imagined they possessed such overwhelming combat strength.

Qin Xiao and Iron Man were one thing, but that so-called God of Thunder—and especially that massive green brute—they were simply... simply...

The Old King searched his mind for a suitable description but came up empty.

*Tyrannosaurus Rex? Humanoid Tank?* Even those seemed too weak compared to the Hulk.

He was just ridiculously berserk. This display only solidified the Old King's confidence in the alliance he had forged with Qin Xiao.

Even without these combatants, Qin Xiao's performance at the House of Representatives had proven that the young man held many hidden aces up his sleeve.

With him as an ally, Wakanda could truly rest easy.

At least, when he eventually met the Black Panther Goddess, he would no longer have to worry about Wakanda being swallowed by other nations.

While his mind whirled with these secret thoughts, the Old King did not halt the work that needed to be done.

He gave Shuri a subtle glance. Instantly, hundreds of drones equipped with high-definition cameras took flight from behind them. Even the surviving cameras on the battlefield pivoted to focus on the Avengers and the Wakandan warriors.

Shuri pulled up a holographic keyboard from her tablet. Her fingers blurred into a phantom-like dance as she silently hacked into several satellites.

Minutes later, the major television networks of the world's superpowers were breached. Every screen flickered and switched to the live feed from the battlefield.

The same footage flooded the internet's major platforms. The headlines were uniform: *Do you really think your world is safe? These heroes are fighting for their lives where you cannot see.*

Or, in a different style: *Aliens are real! How much truth has the government hidden? Who can tell me which alien invasion this is?*

In an instant, the entire world erupted in chaos.

At first, some might have questioned if the footage was fake. But even before considering whether the people in the videos were staged, the real experts—the "hidden masters" among the public—were already on the case.

Soon, these same experts had definitively confirmed the authenticity of the videos.

Aboard the Sky Carrier, Agent Hill was reporting the situation to Nick Fury, her tablet displaying a rotating feed of the battle footage.

"Several Council members just contacted us," she said. "They're trying to debunk the videos and block the signals. They want us to cooperate with their efforts to suppress the information, claiming it will cause public panic."

The footage had been circulating for a full half hour now. Although they hadn't yet established contact with Hawkeye and the others, even a fool could see that Wakanda was hiding far too much.

Drawing on his intelligence files, Nick Fury quickly concluded that Wakanda must have been concealing its vast reserves of Vibranium.

They had used this Vibranium to advance their technology, leaving the rest of the world far behind.

Take that energy shield, for example. A large-scale shield of that strength was something no nation on Earth—even if they all worked together—could ever hope to create.

"...unless Tony Stark releases his Arc Reactor technology for everyone to study."

"Agent Hill, tell me: if we were to shut down all signals right now—I mean *immediately*—would the people outside believe the government's lies and think these images are all fake?"

Agent Hill thought it over with utmost seriousness for more than ten seconds. "Sir, this isn't decades ago. People aren't fools. They have enough technology and information sources to verify the authenticity of this footage!"

"Exactly," Nick Fury said, his fingers tapping lightly on the desk. "Reply to the committee members: tell them S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database is under hacker attack, and a detailed report we just compiled on this incident has been completely leaked!"

"Sir, what do you mean?" Hill asked, her voice laced with disbelief.

"I mean exactly what I said. Trust your judgment!" Nick Fury stated firmly.

"Wakanda has been hidden for so long. Since they want to be exposed, let them be exposed. And as for Qin Xiao and the others—things have already reached this point. We might as well help spread the word, so the whole world knows that these superheroes exist."

Since it couldn't be hidden anymore, Nick Fury might as well go with the flow. He would never make a losing deal.

Turning back to Wakanda, unlike the Battle of New York, the pressure outside had drastically decreased after the Avengers charged in.

With the perimeter secure, Qin Xiao and the others were in no hurry to close the portal.

On one hand, Qin Xiao was secretly cooperating with the Old King's plan. On the other, as he told Captain America and the rest:

"As long as we're safe, we can use this to practice our combat coordination."

After more than half an hour of fighting, Hulk had finally gotten his fill. Tony had even more ideas for upgrading his armor.

And Captain America?

He and the team had truly mastered the art of fighting with a single shield.

Not to mention the classic combinations—reflecting Tony's energy beams or amplifying Mjolnir's shockwaves.

Qin Xiao saw it more than once: when Thor summoned a massive bolt of lightning from the sky to strike the ground, Captain America's shield flew perfectly into place beneath the strike.

The lightning, which would have only blasted a few dozen meters of ground, was now...

After striking the shield directly, the arm-thick lightning bolt split into a dozen or even scores of electric serpents, whistling out in all directions. A single bolt could chain through dozens of nearby Chitauri soldiers. The area of effect had increased by several-fold.

And sometimes, when Captain America threw his shield into a dense cluster of Chitauri soldiers, the God of Thunder, positioned nearby, would strike the shield in mid-air with his hammer. The resulting shockwave instantly cleared all Chitauri soldiers within a ten-meter radius.

Tony, meanwhile, used his speed and the armor's durability to clear soldiers in the air while drawing the attention of the Leviathans, luring them straight toward Hulk.

Qin Xiao charged alone toward the wormhole, slicing through the soldiers and Leviathans as they emerged. Nearly half of them were chopped into pieces by Qin Xiao before they even landed, crashing to the ground.

On the Wakanda side, while Black Panther's agile figure tore through the Chitauri ranks, Okoye's ten-person squad could only use the wreckage of downed Leviathans as cover, playing a game of precision sniping with Hawkeye and Natasha.
