Dragon Ball Arrives in Marvel

Chapter 715 The Battle for the Throne
Zu Li continued:

May the glory of our ancestors live on forever!

All the Wakandas shouted:

May the glory of our ancestors live on forever!

Zu Li continued:

"In ritual combat, victory comes from the surrender or death of the other side."

Upon hearing the rules Zuli mentioned, Yelena asked in surprise:
"They actually allowed their opponents to be killed."

"It's not allowed even at the World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament."

Ivan Vanko said in an icy voice:
"Barbaric and backward."

Eric Killmonger, standing to the side, clenched his fists upon hearing their conversation, but remained silent.

Zuli addressed the elders of the various tribes:
“If any tribe is willing to send warriors to fight, I will now show them the path to the throne.”

As he spoke, Zuli pointed at T'Challa, his meaning very clear: whoever defeats T'Challa will become the new king.

At this moment, the elder of the merchant tribe stepped forward and spoke:
"The Merchant Tribe will not participate in the throne challenge today."

The elder of the frontier tribe also spoke up at this moment:
"The frontier tribes will not participate in the throne challenge today."

The elder of the river tribe also spoke up:

"The River Tribe will not participate in the throne challenge today."

Finally, the elder of the mountain mining tribe spoke up:
"The Mountain Mining Tribe will not participate in the throne challenge today."

At this moment, all the tribal elders declared that they would not compete with T'Challa for the throne. Then, Zuli looked at Erik Killmonger and said:
"Is there any other member of the royal blood who wishes to participate in the challenge for the throne?"

Just as Eric Killmonger was about to speak, a group of Wakandans, their bodies stained white, walked in shouting slogans.

Upon seeing this, Su Rui exclaimed in surprise:

"They are the Jabari tribe."

Eric Killmonger also stopped and looked at the group of people.

Mbaku, the chief of the Jabari tribe, came before T'Challa and removed the white ape mask from his face.

Zu Li then asked:
"Mbaku, what are you doing here?"

Mbaku looked at Zuli and said:
"Today is the day of the throne challenge."

Then Mbaku turned to all the Wakandas and said:
"We observe you and listen to you from the depths of the mountains!"

"But your appearance disgusts me because you actually let a furry child supervise your advanced technology."

Mbaku pointed the finger at Su Rui and continued:
"She despises tradition!"

"Now you are going to hand over the throne to this prince who couldn't even protect his own father."

Ajax turned and walked towards T'Challa, looking at the glare he was giving him and asked:

"Isn't it?"

Before T'Challa could answer, Mbaku continued:
“Our Jabari tribe will not accept this.”

"I said, we don't accept it!"

“I, Mbaku, am the chieftain of the Jabari tribe…”

T'Challa spoke:
“I accept your challenge, Mbaku.”

In the stands, Ivan Vanko stood with his arms crossed, a slight smile on his face.

"It seems that Prince T'Challa has not conquered all the Wakanda tribes."

Yelena nodded in agreement:

"Things are getting interesting."

Eric Killmonger said:
"I hope T'Challa doesn't lose to this Mbaku; his life is mine."

At this moment, Mbaku looked at T'Challa and said:

"May the glory of Hamman endure forever!"

Mbaku did not say that the glory of Wakanda would last forever, but rather that the glory of Hamman, the white ape god, would last forever.

Then Zuli placed the mask representing the Black Panther God on T'Challa, while M'Baku placed the mask representing the White Ape God on himself, and shouted:
"The Jabaris are in position!"

Then a group of armed Jabari men stood on the outskirts of the challenge zone, and T'Challa shouted:

"Royal Guard personnel, in position!"

A squad of female soldiers from the Royal Guard descended with spears and stood on the other side of the battle zone.

Upon seeing this, Zu Li announced:

"The challenge for the throne begins!"

As Zuli announced it, T'Challa and Mbaku walked toward each other in the pool.

The towering Mbaku brandished his club-like weapon and launched the first attack on T'Challa.

"Uh-huh~!"

"bump!"

The club struck T'Challa's shield, and the attack was blocked.

Mbaku raised his weapon again and swung it down from above, but T'Challa easily dodged it with a quick movement.

The mallet slammed into the pool, splashing water high into the air. Mbaku's attacks were wide and powerful.

However, T'Challa reacted very quickly, either easily dodging or using his shield to parry.

Despite launching a dozen or so attacks, Mbaku did not gain any advantage.

"You little rascal who only knows how to dodge, attack!"

Hearing Mbaku's roar, T'Challa seized the opportunity and kicked him, knocking Mbaku down into the pool of water.

The guards on both sides tightened their encirclement, while the Wakandans on the shore gave T'Challa encouraging applause.

Mbaku rose from the pool and roared:
"come."

Facing the charging T'Challa, Mbaku swung his club and attacked him.

"bump!"

"bump!"

T'Challa's shield blocked both of his attacks.

Feeling the power emanating from the shield, T'Challa assessed the situation and decided to hold back.

When the hammer came down for the third time, T'Challa blocked the attack with his shield, but he fell backward.

"boom!"

T'Challa crashed into the pool, splashing water all around him.

On the shore, Shuri called out anxiously, "T'Challa!"

T'Challa stood up again, having just dropped his shield and weapons.

Looking at Mbaku, T'Challa showed no concern whatsoever.

He hasn't used his full strength in the battle so far. Although the abundant power of the Heart-Shaped Grass has been completely removed, as a member of the Boys, he, like the other members, has taken a modified version of the Extremis Virus once.

When they were dealing with Killian, The Boys raided Killian's Rose Estate and obtained information about the Extremis virus. As a reward, the Boys received a modified version of the Extremis virus.

Therefore, T'Challa took a modified version of the Extremis virus at that time. The modified Extremis virus no longer caused the user to explode, but it also caused the user to lose the ability to breathe fire.

However, its recovery capabilities are in no way inferior to the original version, and it also enhances the user's strength, stamina, and other attributes.

T'Challa wanted to subdue M'Baku's tribe, and this was a good opportunity.

Giving the other party some face, and then defeating them cleanly and decisively without killing them, should be able to ease tensions between you.

At this moment, Mbaku provocatively said:

Where is your god now?

Mbaku aimed the end of his club at T'Challa, but T'Challa dodged it by tilting his head and delivered a roundhouse kick to Mbaku's head.

Mbaku was somewhat dizzy; how could T'Challa's power be so great? It didn't make sense.

The encirclement tightened again, and seeing that T'Challa didn't attack, Mbaku swung his mace to attack.

T'Challa ducked to avoid the blow, then stood up and punched Mbaku in the waist, followed by another punch to the head.

Mbaku couldn't withstand the force of those two punches and fell backward.

The Wakanda people who saw this scene also showed excited expressions.

As for T'Challa injecting a modified version of the Extremis virus, no one in Wakanda knew about it, not even his own mother and sister.

T'Challa knew his sister Shuri's research-oriented nature very well; if he told her about the improved Extremis virus, she would definitely want to study it.

They had all signed confidentiality agreements for this information, and the Red Ribbon Group would pursue legal action if it were leaked. In order not to cause trouble for Wakanda, he did not tell his family.

As Mbaku got up and attacked, T'Challa kicked Mbaku's weapon in half.

He then tackled Mbaku to the ground on the cliff next to the waterfall and locked him in an armbar.

"Admit defeat, Mbaku, or you will lose your life."

Mbaku fought back desperately, but he was no match for T'Challa's ground moves, especially since T'Challa's strength was superior to his.

Seeing that Mbaku was still resisting, T'Challa spoke up:
"Think of your people, your tribe."

"They need your leadership."

At this moment, T'Challa is also giving Mbaku a way out; according to the rules of the challenge, not admitting defeat means certain death.

Killing the enemy leader would only intensify the hatred between the Jabari tribe and Wakanda. He believed he could win Mbaku over as long as he surrendered.

Upon hearing T'Challa's words, M'Baku looked at the people of the Jabari tribe and finally spoke:

"I surrender!"

As Mbaku conceded defeat, T'Challa released him, and the Wakanda on the shore cheered.

Yelena watched as T'Challa, whose opponent was clearly weaker than her, easily won, her eyes narrowing as she thought to herself:
This is not the strength that an ordinary person should have. He didn't even change his breathing. It seems that he didn't expend much energy in this battle.

Let me check what benefits the Black Robe Boys have given out. Yelena started looking it up through the Assassin's Alliance system platform on her arm.

T'Challa has now won, and Mbaku has left the challenge zone.

Zu Li asked again:

"Is there any other member of the royal blood who wishes to participate in the challenge for the throne?"

Eric Killmonger also sensed that something was wrong with T'Challa, but the die was cast.

“I, Erik Killmonger, son of Prince N'Job, challenge T'Challa.”

Upon hearing that Eric Killmonger was going to issue a challenge, the elders of the other tribes, who already knew the situation, did not show any change in expression.

Mbaku was taken aback. Wasn't Prince N'Jobu of Wakanda missing for over twenty years? Why was a son of Prince N'Jobu suddenly appearing out of nowhere?

Eric Killmonger walked into the pool, and T'Challa spoke:
"This is your last chance. Lay down your weapons, and then we can still negotiate."

Eric Killmonger broke the spear in half, making the two weapons the same length, and after a few simple swings, he felt it was quite comfortable to use before speaking:
"I have spent my whole life preparing for this moment. I have trained hard, lied all the time, and killed countless people, all to get here."

As he spoke, Eric Killmonger took off his bulletproof vest and the shirt underneath.

"I have fought in America, Iraq, and Afghanistan. I have taken lives."

"You've taken the lives of your brothers and sisters from this land, killed so many people, and all you've done is kill you."

T'Challa's expression turned serious upon hearing this. He knew this was a blood feud; his own father had killed the other man's father.

However, T'Challa was unaware that his father, T'Chaka, was killed by the person in front of him.

At this moment, the Wakanda people on the shore also looked at Erik Killmonger with cold expressions. Zuli then spoke:
"The challenge begins now."

Yelena, on the shore, finally found the benefits that the Black Robe Detectives had once distributed through her privileges and the Assassin's Guild's intelligence platform.

Improved version of Extremis virus

Upon seeing this message, Yelena spoke up:
“Ivan, the investment failed. This guy is going to lose.”

As she spoke, Yelena showed Ivan Vanko the information on the palm-sized platform on her wrist.

Ivan Vanko glanced at it and said nonchalantly:
"I already knew it."

Yelena asked, puzzled:

"then you?"

Ivan Vanko looked at the land beneath his feet and said:
"Just let me in here, that's all. Once that's settled, they'll have to make a deal with me."

"If Eric Killmonger is defeated and doesn't admit defeat, I will step in to save his life."

Ivan Vanko's goal was never to allow vibranium trading after Erik Killmonger ascended to the throne; his goal was simply to enter the real Wakanda and confirm that there was a large amount of vibranium there.

Once this is settled, whoever becomes king will have to make a deal with him, whether it's T'Challa or Erik Killmonger.

If anyone dares to say no, he will definitely let them know the weight of Vanke Industry, even if he can't take it down himself, there are still the Avengers and the Assassins behind him.

Wakanda will even give him an explanation for the previous deception.

Yelena also realized at this point that as long as the truth of the matter was confirmed, that was enough for them.

If Wakanda doesn't want to suffer any misfortune, it should loosen its grip on vibranium trading.

As for leaving them in Wakanda, Ivan Vanko had a backup plan before they set off. If they didn't return within the allotted time, the Avengers and the League of Assassins would know they were missing in Wakanda, and Wakanda would face annihilation.

Based on Ivan Vanko's understanding of Smith Doyle, if Wakanda dared to kill him, the boss would absolutely wipe out the entire Black nation without a shred of mercy.

Of course, Ivan Vanko didn't believe the Wakandans could kill him; his suit wasn't made of paper.

Just as Ivan Vanko and Yelena were contemplating how to proceed with their negotiations, the two below began to fight.

Eric Killmonger attacked T'Challa with weapons in both hands, his attacks were incredibly fast, but it was still no match for T'Challa, who easily retreated and dodged.
