I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

T'Challa pointed to his Black Panther armor.

Depp said helplessly, "Okay, this thing of yours is indeed very good, but you have to be careful about your safety. The heir of Wakanda cannot have any accidents happening to me."

As the next heir to Wakanda and the future Black Panther, Depp doesn't want anything to happen to T'Challa while he's with him.

T'Challa was aware of the implications, and he said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. The prince of Wakanda isn't just some muscle-bound idiot."

As soon as T'Challa finished speaking, a graceful figure emerged from the shadows behind the two.

Selena walked gracefully towards them, her figure as mysterious and alluring as a cat.

T'Challa gazed at Selena's armor, which perfectly accentuated her figure, and couldn't help but lick his lips, asking, "And who is this beautiful lady?"

Upon hearing this, Selena hugged Depp's arm and said, "Honey, is this little black cat... the one I've seen before?"

"That's right, it's T'Challa. He's here to help us protect Gotham."

Honey?

T'Challa was a little confused.

This charming lady, as alluring as a cat... is Depp's woman?

Damn it!

This brought back some unpleasant memories for T'Challa.

During his university years, he once pursued a classmate relentlessly.

That female classmate, like herself, was a Black person.

Of course, her skin wasn't as dark as mine.

T'Challa still remembers his classmate Orolo Monroe, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall and had long, powerful legs that were every boy's dream.

When he finally mustered the courage to confess his feelings, she said, "I'm sorry, I already have someone I like, so... I can't accept your confession."

At this point, T'Challa was unaware that his destined college girlfriend had already been completely captivated by Depp.

T'Challa was in a daze at the time, and asked a question as if by some strange impulse.

"Who is it? Who exactly is the person you like?"

“Okay, to prove I’m not just giving you a perfunctory answer, I’ll just tell you straight.” Aurora Monroe said, holding a stack of meteorology books, “The person I like… is Johnny Depp.”

The image shattered like a mirror, and T'Challa couldn't help but tremble.

Why is it Depp again?

So what if you're a tiny bit better looking than me and a tiny bit stronger in combat?

Why are you so popular with women?!

never mind!

T'Challa glanced at the Homelander clones in the sky that hadn't been eliminated yet, and decided to prioritize the bigger picture and finish the battle first.

Among the many who participated in defending Gotham, only a few managed to maintain the upper hand despite the Homelander clones' all-out attack.

The Ancient One goes without saying; someone who could prevent Thanos from invading Earth must have been at least on par with Odin, a Celestial-level being.

This is a powerhouse second only to a single universe level; a mere Homelander clone poses absolutely no threat to it.

The remaining two are Clark and Depp. Both of them are faster than the Homelander clones on the ground, and their physical strength, power, and the power of their heat rays are also greater. Therefore, they have no problem facing dozens of Homelander clones attacking them.

The rest is Thor.

This powerful being from Asgard possesses greater physical strength and attack power than the Homelander clones. Although he is slightly slower, he doesn't face much pressure on the battlefield as long as he isn't surrounded by hundreds or thousands of Homelander clones.

As for the others, they were engaged in a fierce battle, and even began to suffer casualties.

Perhaps due to the cycle of cause and effect, the people of Arkham Asylum suffered the most severe casualties.

However, with the contact between 7788 and those Homelander clones, and the Homelander clones that landed and then took off again, the virus was carried into the sky.

The cells in those people's bodies also began to die off at an accelerated rate due to the virus's erosion.

Soon, Captain America, Steve Rogers, realized that the guy who had been fighting him...

It seems to have gotten weaker!

That's right, the medicine is working!

Chapter 229 The Abandoned Pawn and the Imminent Reward

Steve managed to suppress the Homelander clone by a narrow margin, but he didn't feel any joy.

"That's strange, why did this guy suddenly get weaker while we were fighting?"

Steve looked up at Hawkeye and Natasha above.

Seeing that Steve had finally taken down the Homelander clone, Hawkeye and Natasha dared to jump to the ground.

"I thought you would fight for a while longer, since you two seemed evenly matched just now."

Natasha joked.

Steve placed his star shield on the face of the Homelander clone that was about to unleash heat rays, and soon, a tremendous force and a burning sensation came from the shield.

Steve had to press down with all his might to barely prevent the shield from being blown away by the heat ray, while the Homelander clone under the shield twitched a few times before stopping its struggle.

At the same time, a slightly burnt smell of roasted meat wafted from under the shield.

Steve lifted the shield, looking at the sticky, charred, and rotten flesh on it, feeling both disgusted and angry.

"Because I don't know why this guy suddenly became weaker, otherwise I could have fought him for a whole day!"

Upon hearing this, Natasha smiled almost imperceptibly and said, "Perhaps after this incident is over, I can arrange a fight with you in New York and let me see if you can really fight all day long."

Upon hearing this, Hawkeye Barton's expression changed, and he said, "I should go. Perhaps other places need my support."

After saying that, Hawkeye used his grappling hook to quickly leave the area.

Steve, however, clearly didn't understand Natasha's teasing. Instead, he said seriously, "If that's the case, then that's great. Don't worry, I won't be too rough with you."

Natasha chuckled upon hearing this and said, "I don't expect you to hold back. I like men who give their all every single second."

This time, Steve seemed to realize the meaning behind Natasha's words, and he immediately changed the subject.

Steve looked up at the Homelander clones in the air that had not yet been defeated and said, "I think our battle is not over yet. Those guys are incredibly powerful!"

Natasha nodded and said, "Yes, and they can also shoot incredibly destructive rays from their eyes, and... they can fly."

“If it takes me this long to take down one, then the others must be struggling too. We need to help them!”

With a hint of worry in his eyes, the kind-hearted Steve then led Natasha up a building that was more than ten stories high. Standing on the rooftop, he looked at the creatures flying around in the sky, destroying the city, and his worry deepened.

But soon, one scene after another appeared that shocked him.

First is Thor,

This guy, wielding Thor's hammer, rampaged through the sky, smashing Homelander clones he encountered one by one to the ground.

None of those Homelander clones were qualified to force Thor to swing his hammer a second time in a pure contest of strength.

Of course, there are also a few relatively smarter individuals.

They avoided close combat with Thor, thus avoiding being hit, but the lightning bolts that occasionally shot from the hammer would stun Homelander clones that couldn't dodge in time.

During the previous Ebony Maw attack on New York, Steve and Thor were in different war zones, so although Steve knew Thor was strong, he had never witnessed Thor's fighting prowess firsthand.

Furthermore, the fighting capabilities of those Chitauri soldiers were completely incomparable to those of the Homelander clones.

For example, a person with 10 attack power and a person with 1000 attack power can both kill a monster with 1 health in one hit.

At that time, you couldn't see the difference between the two.

However, when encountering an enemy with 100 or 200 health points, the difference between the two will be immediately apparent.

Watching Thor smash people with such ease, Steve felt a little bewildered.

He looked at his shield, now covered in blood and gore, and muttered, "Am I too weak? Or is Thor... just too strong?!"

While Steve was lost in thought, Natasha forcefully pulled him aside.

"Watch out, something's falling!"

The next second, a Homelander clone that Thor had knocked unconscious landed with a thud right where Steve had just been standing.

"Thank you very much, Natasha."

As Steve spoke, he looked down at the Homelander clone beneath him.

This guy was hit in the chest by Thor's hammer, and now his entire chest cavity has collapsed. If he were an ordinary person, he definitely wouldn't have survived.

However, this was a Homelander clone, so it had only temporarily lost consciousness, but was still breathing steadily, and its injuries were healing rapidly.

Natasha crouched down and took out her dagger, intending to finish him off.

But when he forcefully stabbed the Homelander clone in the heart, he found that the Homelander clone had no wounds at all, and instead his own dagger was bent.

"These damn perverts!" Natasha said angrily, "What are their bodies made of?"

puff!

No sooner had she finished speaking than a penetrating wound suddenly appeared right where Natasha had failed to finish off the attacker.

Then, seemingly feeling uneasy, Natasha and Steve were astonished to see that the Homelander clone had developed one after another wound that almost pierced through its body on its chest and even its head.

puff~

puff~

puff~

Pfft~

"What the hell is going on?" Natasha was a little confused.

Steve, however, immediately noticed the problem. He pulled Natasha to his side and asked the Homelander clone, "Who's there?"

The illusion dissipated, and Loki, who was crouching on the ground, slowly appeared before the two, poking at the Homelander clone with an enchanted dagger.

Loki continued his work, pumping the water up and down, then turned to Steve and Natasha not far away, flashing his signature friendly smile.

"Whee!"
