After recovering from the initial shock of being discovered by Zane, these panthers quickly regained their clarity and, with their innate agility and animal-like intuition, evaded most of Zane's attacks. However, Zane's attack density was simply too high. The swords came one after another, resembling a wall pushing forward.
Finally, the first panther was hit, letting out a miserable howl. However, Zane didn't hear its cry from his ears; instead, it sounded like it suddenly resonated in his mind, giving him a strange discomfort.
Along with the howl of this panther, the remaining ones were also pierced by the energy on the giant swords. Instantly, the beasts' howls echoed one after another. These cries, directly affecting the soul, irritated Zane. If his soul weren't strong enough, he might have been knocked unconscious.
Beside him, T'Chaka seemed like a fool, with tears streaming down his face and his eyes rolled back.
But their cries didn't last long. Zane, feeling irritated again, accelerated his attacks. Now, on average, each panther was pierced by dozens of giant swords. With the last reluctant howl, one by one, the panthers, already transparent to the extreme, dispersed about 10 meters away from Zane, disappearing completely from this world like sand blown away by the wind. Whether they would return to the ancestors' land and resurrect was unclear.
After dealing with these troublesome things, Zane shook his head. However, the dizziness caused by the turmoil in the soul wasn't easy to recover from.
Actually, Zane had a rough idea of what these panthers were all about. Just by looking at their forms, he knew they were similar to 'spirits.'
Knowing the original Black Panther, he also knew that after eating the heart-shaped grass, each Black Panther would meet the previous king. Originally, Zane thought it was just an illusion, but he didn't expect it wasn't an illusion but rather a soul space similar to the [Son of Death].
Originally, Zane planned to take some heart-shaped grass for research to improve Lorna's physique. Now it seemed better not to. This heart-shaped grass definitely wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface. Since it involved the soul's realm, Zane didn't dare to let Lorna use it.
Now it seemed that the super bomb wasn't Wakanda's ultimate trump card; it was the ancestral land that only existed in legends. Once the royal family of Wakanda was killed within the country's borders by outsiders, the former Black Panthers would descend to kill the intruders, ensuring the continuation and rule of the royal family.
No wonder the Wakandan royal family had been able to continue for thousands of years without being overthrown. Zane didn't believe Wakanda had always been peaceful; there must have been several capable and ambitious individuals who couldn't stand the royal family's reclusive attitude and wanted to overthrow their rule.
These panthers in a soul state sensed the royal family's crisis and would come out in full force to kill some unstable factors. Unseen by ordinary people, they were undoubtedly the strongest weapons.
This time, they just happened to encounter Zane, whose soul was powerful. Once discovered, their greatest advantage basically disappeared.
However, even after dealing with them, Zane remained vigilant because the sense of crisis seemed heavier.
Zane didn't have to wait long before the enormous black panther from the depths of the ancestral land appeared in his sight. Unlike the previous black panthers with their faint forms, this gigantic black panther was clear enough for Zane to see, and even a normal person could see it clearly.
At this moment, King T'Chaka and Princess Suri, who had somewhat recovered, looked at the gigantic black panther with fanaticism. Princess Suri even knelt down in reverence.
"Greetings, Goddess Bast, the Black Panther!"
"Greetings, Goddess Bast, the Black Panther!"
Both of them spoke in unison, and Zane could sense the sincerity and reverence in their words.
Then, a majestic female voice resonated in everyone's souls, making them feel as if a divine being was looking down upon them from on high.
"I have followed the ancient covenant to this point. You shall worship me for generations, and I shall protect Wakanda for generations. Now, I have arrived!"
Seeing the Goddess Bast, King T'Chaka's face, which had been ashen before, now brimmed with hope.
"Great Goddess Bast, this invader has destroyed Wakanda. I hope you will punish him with death."
"Very well."
Facing T'Chaka's accusations, Bast nodded indifferently, apparently not interested in engaging with him. However, she wouldn't let Zane, the invader, off easily. After all, the beliefs of the Wakandan people were her foundation.
Zane now looked bewildered. Wakanda seemed to have too many trump cards! Legendary divine beings were coming out, and it couldn't get any more absurd!
But now that it was clear they were adversaries, even if they were gods, Zane was determined to see if he could kill a god today.
Zane immediately activated the [King's Treasury] to launch weapons at Goddess Bast, while firing lasers from his hands. Facing such a powerful but unknown enemy, Zane didn't intend to probe. Going all out was the way to go.
"Futile resistance."
Facing Zane's attacks, Goddess Bast lazily glanced at him and then directly used her divine power.
The next moment, hundreds of weapons shot out from the treasury were suspended in mid-air, and the laser beams emitted by Zane were blocked by a transparent shield. Even though Zane exerted all his strength, he couldn't make the shield budge.
This was the first time Zane's attack had been completely blocked. Not even when facing the Sorcerer Supreme, Ancient One, did he encounter such a situation. Although Ancient One might not have gone all out at the time, this so-called Goddess Bast was just too extraordinary.
After blocking Zane's attacks, Goddess Bast didn't remain idle. Like on a leisurely stroll, she casually walked while maintaining the shield against the beams of the [Son of Light], slowly approaching Zane. She carefully examined this invader. Strangely enough, from the human perspective, he was quite handsome. However, being handsome wasn't a reason to invade Wakanda!
