American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

"...So, what do you want?" To be honest, Malacas's technology is actually quite useful, and Josie was indeed tempted.

“Freedom…and rights!” A fervent glint flashed in Malacas’s eyes.

Reviving the Armani Empire? Not a chance.

That was Zulkin's ideal.

All Malacas desired was power, which is why he attached himself to Zulkin.

In the original timeline, Malacas also achieved this, becoming a figure second only to the emperor in the Amani Empire—although this good time did not last long.

Now, after realizing that he could no longer return to Azeroth and observing the human organizations in this other world for some time, Malacas has found another way out for himself.

Regardless of what the future holds, at least let's get rid of the identity of an experimental subject first.

“I must say, your proposal is very tempting, and I am indeed tempted. However, to ensure your loyalty, you must swear a soul oath to me… Also, because there are several high elves among my subordinates who were captured by you, and I am aware of the enmity between you, I am afraid you will not be able to appear as a troll in the future… What do you think?” Josie gave her answer after thinking for a while.

“…Of course, great master!” Malacas chose to submit without hesitation.

Chapter 253 The Black Panther Goddess's Revenge

In the endless void, a transdimensional being with a wolf's head and a human body crossed endless dimensional space and arrived at a hall in an unknown dimensional universe.

Inside the hall, four equal figures were already seated.

"Lycaon, you're late!" Sitting at the head of the table, a figure with a cat's head but a woman's graceful figure looked at the werewolf who had just arrived and said coldly.

"Hehe, Buster, you know my dimension is rather remote, and my strength isn't that great, so it's normal for me to be a little late!" The werewolf opened his bloody mouth and said with a sinister grin.

This woman with a cat's head is none other than Buster, the black panther goddess once worshipped by Wakanda, who tried to intervene when Wakanda was destroyed but was beaten up by the Ancient One.

A beast-type dimensional demon god of moderate strength.

The werewolf named Lycaon is also a dimensional demon god and the werewolf god in ancient Greek mythology.

The Lycans, the werewolves on Earth, are named after him.

The other three present were also dimensional gods, and two of them, like the Black Panther Goddess and the Werewolf God, had certain connections with Earth's mythology.

They are the bear goddess Artio and the crocodile god Sobek.

The former originates from Celtic mythology, while the latter is from Egyptian mythology.

The last one is quite special; he is an eagle god.

However, although they are all beast-type dimensional demon gods, this eagle god is more mysterious and powerful than the others!

"Alright, Buster, no need to waste time talking to this good-for-nothing. Let's get to the point of you summoning us here!" The Eagle God glanced at Lycaon and then spoke to Buster.

Upon hearing the other party call him trash, Lycaon, the werewolf god who looked like a formidable opponent, merely tilted his head, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, but otherwise dared not utter a single word of nonsense.

Lycaon once witnessed this eagle god break into a dimensional god of similar power, kill the opponent, and completely devour its dimension.

Therefore, he dared not utter any harsh words to this Eagle God, otherwise, if he really angered the other party, he would have nowhere to turn for help.

"My faith lineage on Earth has been severed!" Buster, the summoner, did not mince words in response to the Eagle God's question, but confessed frankly.

Upon hearing her words, the expressions of the other dimensional demons, apart from the Eagle God, immediately became very strange.

Amidst indignation, there was also a hint of schadenfreude.

Lycaon even wanted to whistle and mock her, but after glancing at the Hawk God, he held back and asked honestly, "It wasn't the Ancient One again, was it? Didn't you make a pact? How could she break it? But if it was her, I think we can call it a day, because there's nothing we can do to her. Of course, if Lord Hawk God is willing to take action, then maybe it's possible."

Why do these dimensional demons have such expressions? Because, like the Black Panther Goddess, they all once had their own lineage of faith on Earth.

Or rather, it's not just them; there are far too many dimensional demons connected to Earth.

However, with the rise of the Vishanti lineage and the intervention of the Celestials, over countless years, 99% of the dimensional demons have lost their faith lineage on Earth.

This situation reached its peak after the Ancient One became the Sorcerer Supreme.

Even the mere severance of the faith lineage would be considered good; countless unwilling dimensional demons died at the hands of the lineage of the Ancient One and the Vishan Emperors.

It can be said that many dimensional demons hate the Ancient One and the Vishanti lineage to the core.

Over the past few centuries, only a very few relatively docile dimensional demons have managed to preserve their lineage by signing an unequal treaty with the Ancient One.

Buster was one of them, while Lycaon, the Goddess of Bears, and the God of Crocodiles lost their lineages long ago.

So even though these dimensional demons had a decent relationship with Buster, they couldn't help but feel a little jealous and resentful. Why was our faith lineage broken, but you were able to keep it intact?

Now that Buster's legacy has been broken, while they once again feel a shared sense of indignation at the loss of their heritage, they can't help but feel a little schadenfreude.

But as Lycaon said, if it was truly the Ancient One who severed the Buster faith, then they could simply disband, because they were no match for her.

If the Eagle God could have done it, then it would have been nothing more than Lycaon stirring up trouble.

However, Eagle God completely ignored this level of instigation.

He is very strong, but not stupid.

What benefit would he gain from going against the Ancient One?

“No, it was the other humans who severed my faith lineage, so this is not part of my contract with the Ancient One!” Buster said through gritted teeth.

This is also what makes her most helpless.

The agreement she made with the Ancient One was that the Ancient One could not interfere with the development of Wakanda or Wakanda's faith in Buster.

Buster's faith can only be maintained within Wakanda and cannot be spread indiscriminately, nor can his physical form appear on Earth to cause any damage.

However, the destruction of Wakanda was orchestrated by Josie, an "ordinary person," and then almost all the powerful nations on Earth joined forces. It did not involve any supernatural beings—super soldiers or beast-transforming drugs, such technological creations, were not considered supernatural in the minds of these dimensional gods.

Therefore, the destruction of Wakanda cannot be considered a breach of contract by the Ancient One.

On the contrary, it was Buster who, afterward, tried to take revenge on Josie, the culprit, and that was the one who broke the contract.

Therefore, even if we're being reasonable, Buster is in the wrong.

But for a goddess, especially a feline goddess with a strong sense of vengefulness, she couldn't possibly be wrong; the only one who could be wrong was that damned mortal, Josie.

So even after being driven away by the Ancient One, she still yearned for revenge against Josie and the other mortals who destroyed Wakanda, and then to rebuild her faith. Although Wakanda had been destroyed, and the main remnants of the royal family had been wiped out by Josie and sent to Westeros to grow watermelons, there were still many former citizens in the former Wakanda. As miners "hired" by the various countries that controlled the vibranium mines, with these people around, it was not impossible for Buster to rebuild her faith system.

But the prerequisite is still retaliation.

"You've been made to look so pathetic by a human. You're living a worse life than ever before. Besides, this is Earth. The Ancient One won't just stand by and do nothing. There's no use coming to us!" Hawk God said after hearing Buster's words.

“If I do it myself, of course I can’t, the Ancient One wouldn’t allow it. But what if we use the native creatures of the physical universe? Since other humans can destroy my legacy, why can’t I use other mortal races to destroy them?” Buster said coldly.

“…That’s a good idea! It seems you’ve made your choice. So…what can we do for it? And what can we gain?” the Bear Goddess asked.

“Some time ago, an interesting mortal sensed my presence and established a connection with me. He was willing to offer me his faith, but in exchange, he needed me to provide power for him and his tribe… However, as you know, even after establishing a connection, transmitting power across dimensions is still a very troublesome matter, and the power loss is quite significant. Therefore, I cannot supply power to too many people, and with too few people, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with those humans. So, I need your help. In exchange, I can share the faith of this tribe with you, and after the matter is accomplished, that human also possesses some valuable items that we can share!” Buster then mentioned that Josie and her subordinates possessed super soldier potions and beast transformation potions. This was one of the very few pieces of information she, as a deity, had obtained about Josie from the last believer of Wakanda.

Super Soldier Potions and Beast Transformation Potions are naturally useless against the dimensional gods.

However, they are not alone. Although their faith on Earth is gone, some other planetary races still have their own beliefs. If they rely solely on the power bestowed by the dimensional demons to grant these beliefs, it would be very costly for them.

Therefore, these dimensional demons with relatively ordinary strength usually provide power to their believers through supplementary methods.

For example, Buster once used the heart-shaped herb to unleash power—although according to Wakanda tradition, one must believe in Buster to obtain the power of the heart-shaped herb, this is not actually the case.

The so-called heart-shaped grass ritual is actually just to strengthen the soul of the power recipient to a certain extent, thereby forming a contract with Bastet.

In this way, their souls will belong to Buster after they die.

In reality, even without believing in Buster, the heart-shaped grass can still provide power to humans.

Like the leopard in the movie, what do you think is the probability that he believes in Buster?

Furthermore, the Jabari tribe has Mbaku, who worships the gorilla god. However, in the movie, after Black Panther falls off a cliff, his mother tries to feed Mbaku a heart-shaped herb in hopes that he will avenge Black Panther, which also illustrates this point.

However, apart from Buster, the other dimensional gods did not have something as good as the Heart-Shaped Grass that did not require them to expend their own power.

However, the super soldier serum and beast transformation serum that Buster mentioned have successfully piqued their interest to some extent.

Why not lend a little power and gain a new faith race, as well as something that can "bless" believers without expending any power?

"I agree!" The werewolf god was the first to agree.

"I agree too!" the Goddess of the Bear declared.

"...Interesting. I happen to have some free time lately!" The mysterious Eagle God smiled.

Finally, everyone looked at the Crocodile God, who hadn't said much.

"...I've been busy with some personal matters lately, so I'm afraid I can't keep you company!" After a long silence, the Crocodile God said.

His words immediately displeased the several dimensional demons present.

However, they cannot do anything to the other party just because the other party disagrees.

Knowing that he had offended everyone, Crocodile God quickly found an excuse to leave the scene, leaving only Buster and the other four demon gods to discuss how to proceed and how to distribute the spoils afterward.

They could never have imagined that this was a shocking trap set from the very beginning, targeting dimensional demons like themselves who were neither strong nor weak.

Chapter 254 The European Union? Dream on!

On the island of Fuerteventura, where the Tiamat excavation site is located, a somewhat strangely shaped plaza is being constructed by countless robots under the command of a hunched figure in a black robe.

In the center of the square stands a tall tower, which was converted from the core of the original excavation site.

Around the square, four magnificent temples were built, each containing a majestic statue of a black panther, a grizzly bear, an eagle, and a giant wolf.

The figure shrouded in black robes was none other than the troll high priest, Malakkas.
