Chapter 320: The True Wakanda

"The news of your death has not been announced to the public yet, only the people of Wakanda... well, and I know.

Now, in the real world, I am right next to your body. You need to follow the guidance of this pillar of light and return to your body.

Then I can cast the spell again to firmly fix your soul in your body and bring you back to life."

Oaks nodded in satisfaction. Now that T'Challa has a strong desire to return to the world of the living, his resurrection will be twice as effective.

"For detailed information, ask Nakia yourself after you are resurrected."

"...I understand!"

T'Challa nodded heavily.

"Chairman Oaks, Wakanda will forever remember your kindness!"

With that, he no longer hesitated and leaped forward. He followed the guidance of the soul pillar of light and disappeared from this space.

...

Oaks didn't leave immediately. His gaze scanned the edge of the soul grassland, then turned back to the remnants of the past Black Panthers in front of him, who seemed somewhat bewildered.

"Everyone, the world is facing a great threat, and we need the power of Wakanda...

So, whether it's for T'Challa himself or for the entire world, I need to take him back...

Although Bast did not explicitly state it, she also sensed some signs.

So, you don't need to pay too much attention to T'Challa's words just now...

It's just a different era."

Oaks bowed slightly to them, and his figure gradually disappeared.

"If conditions permit, perhaps you can also go to the real world again..."

The remnants of the Black Panthers looked at each other. Who exactly is this guy in front of them?!

...

In the cave, surging nature energy flowed, and the bright blue light representing soul power also suddenly surged. Then, following the guidance of the soul pillar of light, a bright orb slowly entered T'Challa's body in the pit!

Nakia and the others were dumbfounded, and with the appearance of that bright orb, Nakia's heart instinctively started beating faster.

"Boom..."

The soul pillar of light disappeared and transformed into a protective shield covering T'Challa's body. Then, a verdant green light engulfed him.

"The power of nature, at my command..."

Oaks' solemn voice resounded, and even Nakia and the others, who had no extraordinary powers, could clearly feel that there seemed to be a special energy rapidly converging!

"Resurrection!"

"Swoosh..."

Dazzling light flashed, and all the magical phenomena vanished without a trace.

"Chairman Oaks..."

"Phew... As expected."

Oaks opened his eyes and took a deep breath. This was the first time he had cast such a complex resurrection spell.

"T'Challa, open your eyes."

"...Cough, cough, cough!"

A long gasp echoed from the pit, which immediately turned into a cough.

"T'Challa!"

Nakia cried tears of joy and pounced on him. She hugged him tightly after he had just sat up from the pit.

"You're alive! Ancestors bless you... You're finally back!"

"...Nakia!"

T'Challa realized that his body no longer felt any abnormalities. He had obviously been healed.

"Thank you..."

He held his girlfriend tightly.

"I'm back!"

"Well... now that T'Challa has been resurrected, my mission is complete."

Oaks stood up and dusted off his clothes.

"For your internal affairs, as an outsider, it's not appropriate for me to interfere. Besides, with T'Challa around, that guy shouldn't pose a threat at all. So, how do you intend to deal with him?"

Oaks looked at T'Challa, whose expression gradually turned serious as he separated from Nakia.

"He committed the grave crime of assassinating the heir to the throne. The crime is unforgivable, and Wakanda will make the right judgment."

T'Challa stood up and accepted the clothes handed to him by the Dora Milaje, and slowly put them on.

"But out of respect for my uncle N'Jobu, I will give him a fair chance to challenge me—

If he wins, he can leave Wakanda alive. If he loses, I won't kill him, but he will be imprisoned in the Vibranium Vault, watching as I gradually change Wakanda!"

"...It's up to you to decide."

Oaks remained noncommittal. Erik has a deep obsession, and defeating him alone might not change his mind.

"But don't be soft-hearted... He's a murderous monster who has killed countless people on the battlefield. He won't spare you just because you're his cousin."

"...I understand."

T'Challa had already put on the ceremonial attire of Wakanda, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes.

"I won't waste this opportunity... Speaking of which, he killed me once."

"In that case, I'll take my leave. I look forward to hearing good news from you."

Oaks smiled and nodded, then scratched the back of his head with a stiff face.

T'Challa/Nakia: ?

"Uh... Is there a car to take me back?"

Oaks withdrew his hand nonchalantly, ignoring T'Challa and Nakia's puzzled gazes. The Wakandan large energy shield was powerful, and for now, he couldn't open a teleportation channel inside it...

No wonder even Gaia's consciousness couldn't detect the ecological conditions inside the shield.

However, Malorn was always monitoring the range of the shield. Now that he had obtained data from passing through it once, there would be nothing to stop him next time.

Shortly after Oaks returned to the Benevolence Society, news arrived from Wakanda.

"Wakanda's King T'Chaka, due to old age and declining energy, has abdicated, and Prince T'Challa has assumed the throne as the new King of Wakanda, effective immediately!"

This news was not specifically conveyed to him by Wakanda; it was broadcasted on television in the form of news.

The matter was completely settled. The new king ascended the throne in Wakanda, the United Nations was informed, and leaders from various countries sent their congratulations.

Although it seemed a bit rushed, Wakanda was, after all, a "poor small country" and not many people cared.

"Brother, King T'Challa of Wakanda has sent an invitation to you."

While he was watching the news, Malorn's image appeared and reported the new information to him.

His current image was becoming more and more realistic. The effect of soul projection was even comparable to the holographic projection technology that Tony had loaded onto J.A.R.V.I.S. some time ago.

That technology had startled Agent Carter, who thought her old friend Jarvis, the butler, had returned.

"Let me see..."

Oaks opened the holographic projection, and in front of him was an exquisite invitation:

"Well, they invited me to visit the palace. Hmm, visiting is fine, but... it's not that simple."

Visiting is generally used between nations, and Wakanda, even if it behaves inconspicuously, is still a country.

Even if the Benevolence Society is a global organization, how does one "visit" a country?

"In other words, Wakanda has decided to officially ally with us?"

Malorn's bright eyes turned and he understood the approximate level of Wakanda's technology through Oaks' descriptions. He immediately thought of this:

"It makes sense. After all, brother, you saved the life of the King and prevented the overthrow of their country's regime. It's only right to form an alliance."

"Malorn, this alliance with Wakanda is likely not as simple as it seems..."

Oaks recalled T'Challa's words to his ancestors in the Ancestral Plane, contemplating:

"In the future, Wakanda will likely no longer be the impoverished and backward nation they appear to be now.

This country, which is the most advanced on Earth, is likely to open its doors to the world after thousands of years of seclusion.

When that happens, the world's landscape will change rapidly... and we must be prepared."

"Are you saying that human technology will experience a big leap forward?"

Through Oaks' description, Malorn had roughly estimated Wakanda's technological level, and upon hearing this, he immediately thought of this:

"It seems that we need to accelerate the construction of our ecological system.

But with the current state of the Gaia Mirror and the environmental data from the Ta lo Realm, we haven't been able to successfully simulate an independent ecological system.

There is too much data to calculate, and it will probably take another two years to complete the design blueprint for a fully self-sustaining ecological system."

"That's alright. Wakanda wouldn't selflessly reveal all their technology for everyone to research together."

Oaks turned off the holographic projection in front of him and stood up:

"I'll take a look first and see what surprises Wakanda has in store for me..."

...

When Oaks stepped into the Wakandan great energy shield for the second time, he didn't sneak in like last time in an off-road vehicle.

This time, General Okoye, the captain of the Wakandan Royal Guard, personally piloted a spaceship to greet Oaks and take him to the Wakandan Royal Palace.

"Chairman Oaks, thank you for your help... His Majesty the King is looking forward to your visit."

General Okoye sat on the pilot's seat of the spaceship in a peculiar meditation posture.

"...The way you pilot this spaceship is indeed unique."

Oaks looked at the spaceship with a strange expression, it was brimming with a sense of advanced technology, and casually asked:

"What happened to that troublemaker?"

"Erik Stevens, the murderer who blasphemed the royal bloodline!!"

General Okoye had never liked Erik, so her face was full of smiles:

"The Supreme King was deceived by his sweet words because of the debt he owed his father in his early years. But when Nakia appeared with His Majesty, everything became clear—

He committed the grave crime of plotting to assassinate the heir to the throne. He should have been executed directly, but His Majesty showed mercy and gave him a fair opportunity to duel.

However, he was no match for His Majesty, and he was sentenced to lifelong imprisonment by the council after his defeat."

"T'Challa indeed kept his word..."

Oaks nodded. It was more accurate to say that his three closest women remained lucid, which gave Oaks the opportunity to intervene and resurrect him.

"The Supreme King, the Queen Mother, and the Princess all want to express their gratitude to Chairman Oaks in person."

General Okoye's gaze was filled with emotion. Who could have imagined that this miracle, which held a one-in-a-million chance, would come true?

"You have also shown me the true Wakanda. Honestly, I was reluctant to leave last time..."

Oaks smiled. The magnificent scenery outside was nothing compared to how it appeared on the ground last time:

"I can't wait to experience it now!"

The spaceship flew over magnificent cliffs and waterfalls, entering a city filled with a sense of technology, and slowly descended near the largest central building.

General Okoye stood up and bowed slightly to Oaks:

"Please, Chairman Oaks—we're here!!"
