Chapter 209: War Breaks Out

Fatty Wang laughed heartily, though his smile seemed almost cruel...

"It's over; we made it."

Strange whispered.

"Yes, we succeeded, but we also violated the laws of nature. Do you think there won't be any consequences?"

"We broke the rules just as she did, and eventually, we'll pay the price. It was destined to happen—karma!"

"I can't continue with this any longer."

Mordo sneered, turned, and walked away.

Wang watched him, hesitant to speak.

Mordo suddenly stopped and turned around. "I keep thinking about that Asgardian who visited Kamar-Taj twice. He must have broken the rules, right?"

Without waiting for a response, Mordo continued on his way.

The strange occurrences in Hong Kong hadn't drawn much attention. Only a few media outlets reported on it.

...

Some people were intrigued, but their focus quickly shifted to another matter.

Due to Hulk presence Tchala's side was more confident and Eric much vigilant, cautious and avoided direct confrontation and avoided the fate of dying , as the king he mobilized full force of wakanda .

After Stark received Banner's call, he immediately alerted the military about the threat, but he was met with derision.

"When did Iron Man become so timid? A third-world country that could be wiped off the map in minutes—don't worry about it!"

Stark was both angry and anxious, even disclosing some sensitive information about Wakanda.

"Wow, Mr. Stark, have you been watching too many movies? Black Panther? Battle suit? Which anime is this plot from?"

Stark left, frustrated. He quickly thought of Thor and rushed to Trudheim Manor.

Natalia answered the door.

"Thor isn't here, but I can convey his stance.

"Unless the Sokovia Accords are officially repealed, he will not take action, and I won't undermine his position. I don't want to be the one who has to step in, only to be accused of breaking the law when the crisis is over."

Stark sighed helplessly. "You know those politicians won't give up easily, but the people are innocent."

"But politicians are elected by innocent people."

Natalia replied coldly. "Also, you need to understand that we did not cause this crisis. We have done nothing wrong, and we are not obligated to fight Wakanda to the death. Whether innocent or not, we are not the ones who brought disaster upon them."

"You may choose to be a selfless hero who suffers for others, but I won't, and neither will Thor."

Stark was left speechless.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

Natalia's face took on a serious expression. "A few hours ago, Thor contacted me. He said that if war breaks out, no place on Earth will be safe. Asgard will evacuate us from Bifrost as soon as possible. Everyone at Trudheim Manor will temporarily leave Earth and return to Asgard."

Stark left, stunned.

After some thought, he pulled out his phone and made a call, not expecting it to be needed so soon.

"Hey, Steve, it's me."

"World War is imminent. We need you!"

"The Sokovia Accords—they might not matter anytime soon..."

Stark's instincts were correct.

That afternoon, Western countries around the world were attacked almost simultaneously.

One of the most shocking events was the attack on the iconic landmark of the United States—the Statue of Liberty.

A strangely shaped plane appeared from the clouds, fired a missile, and then vanished immediately.

True invisibility not only evaded radar but also the naked eye. The United States' pride in its defense capabilities seemed worthless.

Additionally, numerous important buildings were devastated, including the former residence of Washington...

Wakanda, an African nation, claimed responsibility for all the attacks.

This was an explicit declaration of war!

Such provocation ignited widespread anger. Americans couldn't recall the last time their mainland was attacked.

During this period, violence and riots erupted everywhere, from the streets to Washington.

When news of the attacks spread, high-ranking leaders in Washington, previously divided, reached a consensus and quickly formed the "TF58 National Destruction Force."

Led by three Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, they headed for Africa.

However, this fleet, capable of annihilating any non-nuclear nation, was ambushed in the Atlantic Ocean.

The largest naval battle of the new century began, lasting half an hour and ending with the complete destruction of the fleet.

The entire world was stunned.
