The lightning grew more and more violent by the seconds! T'Challa didn't even bother asking Tony; this wasn't something a mere human would understand!
T'Challa could not help but wonder, just what kind of sin Li Yue must have done to garner such a violent divine punishment! The lightning didn't seem like it would rest until it touched Li Yue's body!
"You're overthinking it! This is just another part of his ability; to summon thunderstorms! The lightning wasn't trying to kill him!"
Tony was a little speechless at T'Challa's superstition.
If only Li Yue knew that he had been mistaken as a sinner that attracted unimaginable divine punishment by T'Challa, he would probably send a bolt of lightning at the prince and give him a taste of a lightning strike!
"Oh! So that's how it is. No wonder the lightning target is Li Yue. Should we remove the energy shield above his head so that the lightning can strike him directly?"
T'Challa nodded and suggested to open the shield!
"I also thought the same!"
Despite his shock, the old king maintained his composure, for the most part. He was indeed a king that had seen the world.
He was a little embarrassed that he had retreated from Li Yue, but he didn't show it in his face!
He agreed with T'Challa's thought and raised his arm to turn his communicator on. He was about to inform the guards to drop the shield right above Li Yue.
"I don't think you need to do that!"
Tony suddenly interrupted the old king.
"Why do you—wait, where did Li Yue go?"
The old king raised his head to face Tony, but he then noticed that Li Yue had disappeared from the corner of his eyes!
The old king was obviously surprised. Why did he suddenly disappear?
"Look up!"
Tony shouted!
"Above?"
T'Challa and the old king raised their heads and looked to the sky.
The two of them found a silver figure floating nearly a thousand meter in the sky, unbound by gravity!
The figure was outside Wakanda's energy shield. That was why Tony had said that it was unnecessary to drop the shield!
Countless bolts of lightning continued to strike at the figure from the dark clouds that were as black as ink. Lightning flashed, thunder rumbled. The dazzling silver radiance outshone even sun, hurting the eyes of those who looked at it directly!
"But, how did he get out? Our energy shield is impenetrable! It can even absorb pure energy!"
The questions filled T'Challa and his father's mind!
"That was also another ability of his! You'll have to be with him for a while to understand! His unknown factor is the most terrifying part of him, so it's fortunate that he was on our side!"
Tony explained to T'Challa in a boastful tone.
...
"That ability is indeed terrifying! Mr. Stark, I could see now, I can somewhat believe that Master Li Yue had the strength to defeat Dormammu!"
The old king had never seen Dormammu's real body and did not know how powerful it was, but he had seen Li Yue's terrifying aura with his own eyes. The dark clouds that covered the sky and the violent lightning that constantly struck his body!
If he hadn't seen it himself, the old king would never believe that a human could possess such power! That's why the old king began to believe what Tony said about Li Yue!
The old king was also extremely glad. It was clear that befriending Li Yue was the right decision! If such a powerful person is an ally of Wakanda, then Wakanda has nothing to fear!
That is, unless they met an enemy that even Li Yue can't handle! But the old king felt that those enemies would be very hard to find!
...
Li Yue was bathed in lightning and didn't have any attention to spare to Tony and the others, much less their thoughts.
He focused on controlling the violent lightning, which continued to test and try to penetrate the Vibranium combat suit. He was testing whether the Vibranium combat suit would be damaged by the violent lightning energy!
However, the Vibranium suit seems to have top-notch durability. Even with the full power of the God of Thunder state, he didn't detect any damage!
It was surprisingly still completely intact. The lightning wasn't even able to pass through the combat suit—it must be because the Vibranium wasn't conductive to electricity!
From the looks of it, the battle armor can withstand this state pretty much indefinitely!
"Not bad, not bad! It's great that I don't have to worry about my clothes being burned while playing as the God of Thunder anymore!"
Li Yue was very happy that the battle armor can withstand this state!
Li Yue completed the test and released the God of Thunder aura. The lightning arcs around him slowly dissipated, as with the thick dark cloud, as if they never even existed!
...
"Haha, the defense of this armor is superb! I am very satisfied with it."
The old king and Tony were still watching the sky when Li Yue suddenly disappear. He reappeared in front of them with a smile on his face: it seemed that he was very satisfied with the armor!
"Eh... you... How did you get here? Weren't you in the sky just now?"
T'Challa was shocked to the point of incoherence when Li Yue suddenly appeared! He even rubbed his eyes multiple times, thinking that he was seeing things!
"Hehe, don't make such a fuss. I'm here to tell you that I will be going out to test the Vibranium combat suit! I don't know how long it will take, so you don't have to wait for me and just enjoy the rest of the day!"
Li Yue teleported next to everyone to tell them the same messages. It was time for the test that Li Yue had been anticipating: flight test! He didn't know how long he would spend, so he just told them not to wait!
"Wait, Li Yue, are you going to…" Tony asked before Li Yue could go, intrigued that Li Yue had bent his legs.
Bang! Whoosh!
However, Tony never had the chance to finish his words. Li Yue disappeared with the loud explosive sound and a shower of gravel and dust scattering in all direction!
"This is? Not good, be careful... the protective shield! Mr. Li Yue!"
T'Challa was the first to react. He had suspected from the small crater that Li Yue had flown to the sky, so he shouted loudly!
After all, if Li Yue flew carelessly like that, he would inevitably hit Wakanda's energy shield!
However, T'Challa was worried for nothing. Li Yue used his superpower to teleport past the energy shield right before hitting it!
Li Yue no longer held back once he was outside the energy shield. He accelerated past the speed of sound, creating a conical shock like a ballerina's skirt around his body.
Li Yue continued to accelerate, disappearing from everyone's sight!
...
"Blergh, ptui, this son of a—why can't he warn us to get away before he took off!"
Tony couldn't help but complain loudly as his mouth was filled with dust by the dust that Li Yue had kicked up!
