American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

Although it is somewhat cruel, due to the special nature of super soldiers, the bodies of Andrew and Luke could not be buried casually. Instead, after the Wakanda War ended, the CIA, with the help of the US military, transported them back to the United States in cryogenics and then froze them in a laboratory for other uses.

As for their families... let's not even talk about whether these two, as members selected by Hydra, have any families. Even if they did, it would be very simple: just find a corpse, burn it, send it over, and give them some compensation.

Of course, we don't need to tell Captain Carter about this approach, otherwise he would definitely go ballistic.

Carter clearly hadn't expected this turn of events. With Josie's comforting words, he quietly left the cold storage, preparing to go and keep his brother company as Josie had suggested.

Although Michael Carter was rescued, and Josie followed her agreement with Carter, removing his name directly from the original intelligence list, leaving only the other two Zodiac agents.

However, given his background as a Zodiac agent and the modifications he underwent, Michael Carter still needs to undergo a comprehensive evaluation by the CIA before he can be fully released.

So you can't leave the United States yet.

Carter didn't have much of an opinion on this, but Michael himself was a little unhappy, since he missed his wife and children terribly after regaining his memories.

"Oh, right, Josie, there's one more thing!" Carter suddenly said before leaving.

"What?" Josie asked, puzzled.

“Regarding Wakanda, I suspect that Wakanda is not truly destroyed.” Carter looked around and whispered to Josie.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Josie asked, somewhat surprised.

“When we infiltrated Wakanda, we discovered that some Wakandans were evacuating—” Carter then recounted the evacuation of the Tapani siblings that he had witnessed.

Because at the time, only the Super Soldier trio witnessed that scene, and now that the other two are dead, only Carter knows about it.

After some hesitation, Carter finally decided to tell Josie about it.

Knowing the modus operandi of American intelligence agencies, she understood that leaking this information would inevitably lead to a search and persecution of the Wakanda who had evacuated in advance.

However, not saying anything would violate CIA regulations and would also be unfair to Josie's help all this time.

Besides—who made Wakanda black?

And what kind of waves would it cause if the Wakandas were to return in the future?

So after much deliberation, Carter finally decided to tell Josie the information.

"I see... I understand. Don't worry, I'll handle it!" After listening to Carter's explanation, Josie didn't show much emotion on the surface, but after seeing Carter off, she fell into thought.

In his view, the destruction of Wakanda was far too easy.

Because there is one character who never appeared during the UN forces' destruction of Wakanda.

That is the dimensional daemon worshipped by the Wakanda people, especially the Wakanda royal family—the black panther goddess Bastet.

Ordinary people might just see it as a belief, a symbol.

But Josie knew that this being was a real person who was protecting Wakanda.

If that's the case, why didn't the Black Panther goddess appear when Wakanda was destroyed?

This made Josie feel somewhat uneasy.

However, after hearing from Carter that some Wakandans had evacuated ahead of schedule, Josie suddenly realized that perhaps because the Wakandans had not been completely wiped out, the Black Panther Goddess didn't care whether she intervened or not.

But if that's the case, should we pursue and arrest those people?

Josie fell into deep thought again.

However, what he didn't know at the time was that it wasn't that Buster didn't want to take action, but that he was being stopped.

In a special space, a huge leopard with glossy black fur is facing off against a figure dressed in a plain yellow robe.

This figure is none other than the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj and the guardian of Earth's dimensions.

And that enormous leopard was none other than the Black Panther Goddess Buster.

“Go back, Buster, this is not a place for you!” Ancient One said arrogantly, looking at the giant leopard opposite her.

"...Ancient One! You should know that no one from any universe has ever dared to treat my offspring like this!" A rather clear female voice came from the mouth of the giant leopard.

"Oh? Is that so? But I don't think so. When I'm meeting with my counterparts from other worlds, I've heard plenty of stories about the destruction of Wakanda, and nothing ever happened to us. Why did you come out when something happened to my universe, Wakanda? Can I take that as... you think I'm easy to bully?" Faced with the giant leopard's questioning, the Ancient One smiled calmly and then asked in return.

Buster fell silent.

The destruction of Wakanda in other individual universes was caused by some higher-level special reasons, rather than by the destruction of ordinary human nations, so there was nothing she could do about it.

However, in this universe, Wakanda was destroyed by a group of ordinary human nations, which angered her greatly, so she wanted to take action and teach the humans of this world a lesson.

However, they were stopped by the Ancient One of this world.

...And faced with the Ancient One's pretentious attitude, she really wanted to say, "You're so easy to bully."

But in reality, she didn't have the guts.

Fighting the Ancient One on Earth, a rather unique place, is not a wise move—just look at Dormammu. Not only did he get beaten up every time, but he was also used as a power bank by the Ancient One, which was a disgrace to the dimensional beings.

However, she was really unwilling to just give up like that.

After all, the existence of Wakanda in each universe has a certain impact on her power, and she is not so magnanimous as to turn a blind eye to the slaughter of her people.

The Ancient One also saw Buster's unwillingness to accept it. Since you are unwilling, then I will help you accept it.

Under Buster's wary gaze, the Ancient One revealed her magical blade.

Soon, Buster's roars echoed through the space!

"Gu Yi, I won't let this go!" About half an hour later, Buster left behind a harsh remark and slunk away into the endless space.

"Come again next time!" Gu Yi said with a smile, twirling a long black whip in her hand.

Oh... that's not a black whip, it's Buster's tail...

Yes, it has a nice texture.

However, the Ancient One's calm demeanor did not last long. After confirming that Buster had left, she completely relaxed, and a hint of fatigue appeared on her face, with a dark mark flashing on her forehead.

Clearly, her fight against Buster was not as easy as it seemed on the surface.

After resting for a while, Gu Yi waved her hands, and the surrounding space instantly changed, showing a scene of Josh sitting in his office in front of her—but judging from Josh's completely unaware state, it was just a mirror image.

"Don't let me down, child, grow up quickly... I can't hold on much longer!" Looking at Josie in the mirror, the Ancient One's eyes held a hint of expectation, a hint of solemnity, and finally turned into a sigh.

At her age, it's perfectly normal for her to call Josie "kid," and it doesn't mean she and Josie actually have any relationship.

The reason she said that, and even secretly protected Josie, was simply because she saw a possibility in the river of time, a possibility that every version of her in every universe had dreamed of.

Chapter 172 Recreating Warriors

"Ah~ Is this vibranium ore? I've heard you talk about it for so long, and I've finally seen the real thing. Even though it's my first time seeing it, I can already feel the immense power it contains. I can't wait to start studying it!" On the communicator screen of the trading system, Yuri held a piece of the azure-blue metallic ore in his hand, carefully observing it and feeling the energy it contained.

Yes, vibranium ore contains extremely powerful energy.

Previously, Josie only knew that vibranium was a metal that was hard enough to absorb kinetic energy, so she instinctively thought that vibranium could not be used as an energy source.

It wasn't until he smelted the vibranium spear he had obtained from Wakanda that Josie realized his previous thinking was wrong.

That's right, vibranium is indeed just a metal and does not generate energy itself.

However, its powerful energy storage properties make it a secondary energy source, similar to a battery.

Of course, this conclusion was not drawn by Josie. The technology of the world Josie lives in at this stage is such that even Wakanda, which has been using vibranium for thousands of years, has not yet realized this.

Because technology hasn't reached that level yet.

Yuri came to this conclusion.

Last time, he successfully melted down the vibranium spear and then reshaped it into a shield and a longsword.

The reason he was able to do this was because of sufficient energy—after discovering the energy storage properties of vibranium, he began to use dozens of large magnetic generators to continuously charge the vibranium spear that Josie had sent over.

After the spear has absorbed enough energy, it begins to become brittle and malleable.

Yuri concluded from this that vibranium is not incapable of being reshaped, but rather that the required energy is simply too great, making it incredibly difficult.

It's worth noting that the amount of electricity Yuri used to power that spear during this process was enough to power New York City in Josie's time for several days.

Based on this conclusion, it can be inferred that the reason why vibranium ore is easy to smelt is that it is filled with extremely large amounts of energy—its blue light is actually a manifestation of abundant energy.

However, the energy contained within it dissipates during the smelting process, so after it is shaped, the energy contained within it becomes very little, which is why it becomes indestructible.

The reason why vibranium ore contains such enormous energy is also easy to explain—because Josie told Yuri that vibranium is not a product of Earth, and the entire vibranium ore is a single meteorite.

That means the reason why vibranium ore has such a huge amount of energy is because it absorbed the impact force when it fell to Earth.

Otherwise, if a meteorite the size of an entire mountain range of vibranium mines were to fall to Earth, the shockwaves it would generate would have wiped out life on Earth several times over, and Earth would have become a dead planet long ago.

It is precisely because of absorbing such a huge impact force that vibranium ore becomes easy to mine and smelt.

However, the excessive energy contained in vibranium ore also makes it somewhat dangerous.

A piece of vibranium ore roughly the size of a fist contains energy equivalent to a bomb weighing several hundred kilograms of TNT.

Of course, this danger is relative.

Although vibranium ore contains a lot of energy, it is far from saturated, and a lot of energy is needed to activate it.

For example, in the future, after absorbing various scientific theories from the outside world, the Wakanda people will experience a technological explosion and use subsonic magnetic levitation technology to transport ore, which will make the raw ore dangerous. After all, at that speed, even if vibranium does not contain energy, its destructive power will be enormous.

It was under these circumstances that Black Panther's sister, the genius scientist Shu Rui, invented the acoustic stabilizer to put vibranium into hibernation, in order to prevent danger during transportation.

As for this era... with just a small piece of vibranium ore in Yuri's possession, it would probably take several kilograms of explosives to detonate it.

If it were an entire vibranium mine, it would be even more impossible to detonate its energy without thousands or tens of thousands of high-yield nuclear bombs.
