Chapter 105: Fierce Battle

Arthur charged at Ultron, his trident thrusting toward the villain's abdomen, but Ultron dodged aside. Ultron seized the trident's shaft and swung a counterpunch at Arthur.

"Arthur! Do you think possessing two Infinity Stones makes you my equal? Let me show you the wonder of Vibranium!" Ultron gripped Arthur's hand tightly, and twin red laser beams shot from his eyes, blasting toward Arthur's chest.

Suddenly, a crimson energy shield materialized before Arthur's chest, deflecting the attack. It was Wanda, who had been watching over him, who intervened. Arthur shot her a grateful glance before resuming his battle with Ultron...

The Avengers and the warriors of Wakanda were locked in combat with the endless Vibranium army. The Vibranium robots were incredibly durable, capable of firing energy blasts and deploying energy shields of their own, making them formidable foes.

But the Vibranium weapons wielded by the Wakandans could harm them. Once the Avengers realized this, each of them scavenged a Vibranium weapon from the battlefield to fight the robot legion.

Tony Stark, deeply inspired by T'Challa's Black Panther nanotechnology suit, discovered just how miraculous a metal Vibranium truly was. He began to conceive new ideas for his future armor designs.

Tony Stark rained down attacks on the Vibranium robots from the air, with War Machine, Colonel Rhodes, providing support beside him. The two worked in perfect tandem, steadily blasting robots out of the sky.

Pietro had grabbed a Vibranium spear. Moving at speeds too fast to track, he pierced countless robots before they could even react, tearing them apart limb from limb.

Steve Rogers also used his shield to assault the Vibranium robots, smashing their limbs to render them combat-ineffective.

Natasha and Barton each had found a blade. Fighting in flawless coordination, a Vibranium robot's arm cannon had just trained on Natasha when Barton's sword severed it in a single stroke. Natasha spun around and sliced the robot's head clean off its body.

"What a fine blade. When this is over, I'm asking T'Challa to forge one for me," Barton said between strikes.

"Then I want a pair of daggers!" Natasha nodded, making it clear that if free loot was on the table, she absolutely had to be included.

Thor was the most formidable of them all. The Uru-forged hammer, empowered by his divine might, smashed through Vibranium robots with ease. He weaved across the battlefield, felling one enemy per strike...

"Damn these Vibranium robots, why are they so tough? What a pain!" Sam fled through the air, four Vibranium robots in hot pursuit, their energy cannons blasting at him relentlessly, while his conventional weapons did no damage to them at all.

Sam was forced to skim low over the ground to evade his pursuers. Suddenly, a green blur charged past him and punched one of the robots chasing him clean out of the sky.

That robot crashed into the three behind it, and in an instant, all four plummeted to the earth.

It was the enraged Hulk. He charged in, grabbed a robot in both hands and tore it in half, then seized another and hurled it into a third. To the Hulk, these machines were child's play...

Peter Parker darted through the crowd with incredible speed and agility. Despite his slender frame, his strength was immense—a single punch sent a robot flying. He fought alongside the Wakandan warriors, steadily cutting down their enemies.

Bucky had picked up a short blade and was fighting beside T'Challa. The Vibranium robots' energy blasts struck T'Challa without causing any harm—not only that, he could absorb the energy and unleash it at will. The Black Panther suit crafted by Princess Shuri was truly remarkable.

"You've got impressive skills!" T'Challa remarked, watching Bucky's swift, vicious cuts and his outstanding close-quarters technique.

"You're not bad yourself!" Bucky replied.

"I've found my target!" T'Challa said, then strode toward Erik, who was locked in combat with M'Baku in the distance. He intended to kill the man who had brought war to Wakanda.

"Erik! Today I will kill you to avenge my father!" T'Challa rescued M'Baku, who had been overwhelmed by Erik's Black Panther power, and faced his enemy directly.

"You've come just in time! I'll finish you with my own hands right here!" Erik glared at T'Challa with venom. T'Challa had destroyed his plans, and this day, T'Challa had to die!

T'Challa charged at Erik. Erik swung his twin blades at him, but T'Challa sidestepped, spun, and drove a fist into Erik's head, sending him stumbling.

Erik came at T'Challa again, but T'Challa seized his right hand and wrenched the blade from his grasp.

The two closed in for hand-to-hand combat, their knives slashing furiously at each other. But both wore Vibranium armor, and the blades glanced off without leaving a mark.

They cast their weapons aside and continued with fists and feet, evenly matched—neither able to gain the upper hand!

"Protect Prince T'Challa!" At that moment, Okoye led the female warriors of the Royal Guard to T'Challa's side, leveling their Vibranium spears at Erik.

Under the Royal Guard's coordinated assault, Erik was driven back step by step. Seizing the opening, T'Challa kicked Erik square in the abdomen, sending him crashing to the ground.

The Royal Guard pressed their spears against Erik to pin him down, preventing any resistance. T'Challa grabbed the necklace around Erik's throat and yanked it off with a sharp pull.

Erik's Black Panther suit vanished instantly. T'Challa drove his claws into Erik's chest, and Erik's eyes flew wide, staring at the hand embedded in his flesh.

He never imagined he would die at T'Challa's hands in the exact same manner as his own father. He refused to accept it!

T'Challa withdrew his hand from Erik's chest, and Erik's body crumpled to the ground, lifeless.

"Go—continue eliminating these Vibranium robots!" T'Challa said to Okoye, gazing down at Erik's corpse.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Okoye led the Royal Guard charging back into the fray against the robots...

On the battlefield, heavy losses mounted on both sides—Vibranium robots and Wakandan warriors alike. W'Kabi rode the last surviving rhinoceros, rampaging through the heart of the robot legion.

The warriors of the Jabari Tribe formed a phalanx and hurled their spears at the airborne robots, bringing countless numbers of them down from the sky.

The warriors of the Border Tribe, wielding curved blades, struck at the falling machines. When a wave of energy fire came at them, they raised their cloaks, and blue energy barriers absorbed every single blast...

Watching his Vibranium legion being pushed back, Ultron attacked Arthur with wild, desperate fury, the two locked in aerial combat.

"Ultron! You've already lost! This time there's no escape!" Arthur taunted as he fought.

"You think a simple barrier can contain me?" Ultron raised his arm, and in the distance, a squadron of iron robots flew toward the control room.

"Steve! Ultron is trying to storm the control room. Get people there now and don't let him shut down the energy shield! Shuri is in there—she's in danger!" Arthur called into his earpiece.

Steve Rogers saw the swarm of robots making for the control room and ordered, "Stark, Thor—support the control room now!"

"On it!" Tony Stark opened fire on the Vibranium robots flying toward the building.

"On my way!" Thor shot toward the control room at lightning speed to protect Shuri and Nakia.
