"T'Challa, can we track Master Li Yue through our Wakanda satellite technology?"
The old king asked T'Challa after seeing Li Yue disappear!
"Father, our satellite can barely detect him. He was too fast—he already exceeded Mach 5! And he is still accelerating! Mach 6, 7...Mach 10! And still rising!
"Is this...is this the speed of a human? No wonder he needed a Vibranium armor! Even steel would melt by the heat of friction with his current speed!
"But how did he even fly? This is impossible!"
T'Challa was absolutely astonished by the fact that Li Yue could fly without any propulsion devices. He could barely accept it! Li Yue has the power of lightning, after all!
But this speed was just abnormal! Especially for a human being! This is unscientific! What power did Li Yue use to accelerate? It's not like he had an engine strapped to him!
Even with Wakanda's technology, their flying vehicles could barely reach Mach 10!
And that was only possible due to the Vibranium shell of those vehicles!
"Cough, cough, I advise you to not look at the scientific side of his ability too much! Because if there's one thing I learned from my time with Li Yue, it's that his existence is not explainable by science! So don't worry about it!"
Tony could sympathize with T'Challa! He couldn't help but recall the time when he was kidnapped by terrorist. Li Yue's sudden appearance collapsed his entire scientific worldview!
After that, Tony learned not to look too deep into anything that happened in Li Yue's presence, because that would be meaningless! After all, Li Yue's existence itself seem to change the laws of the world!
He had even met mages and creatures from other dimensions. Compared to those, Li Yue flying without any engine wasn't that much of a deal!
"I agree with Mr. Stark. Although I have only known Mr. Li Yue for less than a day, I understood clearly that I must not investigate anything about him!
"It would just make you doubt yourself and your entire life!"
The silent Banner couldn't help but voice his agreement. After everything that happened yesterday, he no longer thought of Li Yue as a normal human!
After all, how could a normal human schooled Hulk like a little child and sent him flying hundreds of meters in a single punch?!
...
Li Yue was blissfully unaware of Tony and the others' discussion about him! Li Yue himself couldn't answer the question of how exactly he was flying right now.
He recalled that the DC universe explained Superman's flight as an ability to control biological force fields, which allowed him to fly towards a plane and save it! It was a bit fantastical, but that was one explanation.
However, Li Yue's flight was copied from Homelander's version of the ability. He had no idea how he was flying: he only felt that it was as natural as walking or running. If he could imagine it, then he could achieve it!
Moreover, he didn't find any ability to control biological force fields, so he couldn't explain it that way either!
...
Li Yue had flown up to ten thousand meters within a few second, closing in to the stratosphere!
He stopped climbing upwards and stopped to stop in midair, his bright red cloak dancing in mild breeze!
He looked at the white clouds that were constantly fluttering in the wind below him, either blown away by the wind or gathered together.
He could also see things on the ground with his eyes, including Tony and the others in Wakanda. An indescribable feeling welled in his heart!
This was the first time that he had just flew high to the sky and quietly looked down on Earth!
Li Yue constantly sighed in his heart. No wonder that everyone wanted to break free from the restraints of gravity and fly freely into the beautiful blue sky.
This feeling of flying freely in the sky could not be described with words! This was very different from flying on a plane.
"Well, since I've went all the way, I might as well fly to my heart's content!"
Li Yue controlled his body into a free dive, falling through the clouds! The speed of the impact immediately scattered the cloud!
Li Yue's figure did not stop. His speed did not decrease. He pierced through the white cloud and continued to fly forward. The airflow constantly battered Li Yue's body and face, but it did not bring him any discomfort!
Li Yue was having so much fun constantly changing his trajectory and flying side, rushing towards clouds and dispersing them.
He accelerated for an instant and then decelerated in a beautiful arcs in the air! He would suddenly stop and instantly fly the other direction, or jumped around in midair!
For a moment, it was as if he was swimming in the water. The clouds were like a pool. He flew like he was swimming in backstroke.
Li Yue was experiencing a childlike joy of playing around in different postures!
Not only was his speed faster than the most advanced fighter jets, but he also performed maneuvers impossible for fighter jets!
He then continued to fly upwards, leaving the clouds far below him, further and further away from the ground. Just right before he crossed the threshold to space, he began to accelerate and dive towards the ground like a meteor!
The friction with the atmosphere generated a glowing hot trail of flames behind him, just like a real meteor!
While he was falling, he found that he had somehow reached the sea. He changed his trajectory again, flying at incredible speed just barely above the surface of the sea.
The powerful air currents from his high-speed flight parted the sea into deep "ravine," which only closed long after he had passed!
After flying on cruise for a while, Li Yue suddenly stopped and changed direction to the sky! Inertia and reaction forces seemed to be a joke for him!
...
"I don't know what's my top speed is, but I just have to measure it! Dummy, record my top speed!"
Li Yue suddenly had the crazy idea, perhaps because he was having too much fun.
