Chapter 244 - Chapter 244: 70,000 Panther Armor Units—Who's Afraid Now?

In the vast expanse of the Desert Dimension, Black Widow Natasha sped forward on her motorcycle, desperately trying to outpace her pursuer. 

The Hulk charged right behind her.

S.H.I.E.L.D. had started making contact with Bruce Banner back in 2008—the man capable of transforming into the Hulk—and Natasha Romanoff was among the first agents assigned for initial contact.

If it were any other day, Natasha wouldn't have minded building a rapport with the Hulk.

After all, whether it was Dr. Banner's intellect or the Hulk's immense strength, both were invaluable assets to S.H.I.E.L.D.

But today, she was determined to claim that ultimate prize!

Unlike Captain Rogers, who treated this trial as a new soldier's evaluation and simply wanted an honest, satisfying fight to vent his frustrations,

An insatiable drive burned inside her, urging her to seize this opportunity at all costs!

As the Avengers began forming,

She became increasingly aware—

Of the widening gap between herself and those inhuman beings around her.

She was merely a top-tier agent, enhanced only up to the limits of ordinary humans.

Steve Rogers had taken the Super-Soldier Serum. Banner transformed under gamma radiation. Stark wore high-tech battle armor worth hundreds of millions...

Now even mysterious wizards had appeared.

She was the Black Widow!

Natasha Romanoff—standing at the peak of the spy profession!

She wasn't about to stop now!

The rewards offered by the Dimensional Demon God and the Sorcerer Supreme could finally allow her transformation—from an elite agent into a true superhero!

It will work... Right?!

Spotting the fiercely battling town several kilometers away,

Natasha glanced at the fuel gauge needle on her bike, carefully modulated her speed, luring the Hulk straight toward the town.

Using her opponent's strength against him—

That was basic training for every field agent!

"Huh~"

Kei Yamanaka watched with a faint smirk tugging at his lips as Natasha got entangled with the Hulk.

For some reason, a memetic GIF someone once created online popped into his mind.

Whether these two had anything going on, he couldn't say for sure.

But what he could confirm was that once Banner became the Hulk—with the mental maturity of a toddler—the Hulk truly adored Natasha.

Unfortunately…

Today, Natasha had no time for romance—not even from the Hulk. She only cared about winning this competition.

So the poor Hulk would inevitably end up heartbroken.

Across the battlefield in the desert, chaos erupted.

Guns, magic, even portable rocket launchers and mortars kept appearing on the battlefield.

This solo mode allowed no alliances or clear factions.

Those secretly considering teamwork quietly abandoned their plans after Kei Yamanaka issued a warning.

Moreover, aside from those specially selected participants, over eighty randomly chosen players included not only wizards from across the globe but also numerous members from organizations like Hydra and the Ten Rings.

These people had never heard of the Dimensional Demon God or the Sorcerer Supreme.

Still doubtful about the promise of a non-lethal trial, they believed this to be a literal fight for survival and went to any lengths to survive.

The wizards who had been pulled into the trial.

Many were still immersed in the joy of possibly obtaining rewards from the Sorcerer Supreme, unprepared mentally,

Only to be ambushed and attacked out of nowhere by these people.

"Mark 5 armor, Black Panther's vibranium suit, Ant-Man's armor, Captain America's vibranium shield, Hawkeye's compound bow, Ujin Chakra Breadstick, Mephisto's whip, Dragon Scale Armor, Dragon Blood Staff..."

Kei Yamanaka couldn't help but marvel inwardly at the numerous weapons and equipment duplicated under the ability [Primordial Sovereign].

His duplication ability originated from the technique [Infinite Sword Creation].

But with each successive upgrade,

That initial duplication ability, once merely projection-style magic (an illusion), had long since become a reality-bending concept rooted in fundamental laws!

Except for special weapons containing inherent rules, which required constant energy to maintain via the duplication concept,

Everything else became genuinely real after being copied!

Which meant,

Whether it was Iron Man's Mark 5 armor, Black Panther's vibranium armor, or Captain America's vibranium shield, he could not only mass-produce them but also disassemble and dissolve them—or even give them away directly.

"Seventy thousand… Replicating the Mark 5 is too wasteful. Better to go with Black Panther's vibranium armor. It only costs about one planetary energy unit per suit. Not bad—not too much."

Kei stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Actually, duplicating the Mark 5 didn't consume that much energy.

The real power drain came from Tony Stark's Arc Reactor chest piece. Without it, the Mark 5 couldn't move.

In comparison, Black Panther's vibranium suit required no additional energy supply.

Although it had fewer functions—only uniform kinetic energy absorption, near-impenetrability, and personal invisibility.

But for ninja who prioritized offense over defense,

Those abilities were more than enough!

Even the vibranium-infused pads on the suit's feet, which adjusted vibration frequencies for wall-running or walking on water, didn't need to be replicated.

After all, those were second nature to any ninja!

After Fire Shadow unified the entire ninja world, the Five Spirit Ninja Army employed over one hundred thousand active shinobi. Even after excluding the elderly, injured, ill, and logistics personnel, there were still over seventy thousand combat-ready troops!

Now imagine each of them wearing vibranium armor—

Just imagine how freaked out Thanos would be facing an army like that!

"I'll have Tony Stark and Orochimaru research some small improvements later."

Kei stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Black Panther's suit didn't automatically adapt to different body types.

Adding that feature would make the armor truly suitable for everyone in the Five Spirit Ninja Army, making his earlier wild ideas actually achievable.

Once the first toxic zone started shrinking,

People positioned at the edges were forced to relocate.

Fresh battles erupted.

Over an hour later, when the toxin zone had shrunk to less than the size of two football fields and settled inside New Mountain City,

There were only three left standing.

Black Widow Natasha Romanoff, wrapped in an invisibility cloak she'd swiped from a dead wizard, lay flat on the rooftop of a three-story building, armed with over a dozen C4s, rockets, and an AWM sniper rifle.

The Winter Soldier Bucky, controlled by Hydra, carried an automatic rifle he'd scavenged in the city and strode down the street, searching for signs of the enemy.

Dr. Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man, had shrunk down to the size of an ant and crouched on top of a telephone pole at the edge of the street. His eyes flicked past the Winter Soldier as he kept scanning the battlefield for the other enemy.

"Black Widow, Winter Soldier, Ant-Man."

Kei Yamanaka stared at the three figures on the scene, genuinely surprised it was them who had survived this long.

Glancing at the Elimination Zone where everyone had been sealed away, he saw Wong, Mordo, Kaecilius, Dr. Banner, Wanda, and others were also observing the battle from a divine vantage point.

He just shook his head, wordless.
