Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 277 The Leopard God's Face Must Be Given

"Leopard God!"

Looking at the enormous figure before him, the word came to Luca's mind without any hesitation.

Without him.

What was originally just a small amount of black-gold fluid that had burst out from the shattered Black Panther suit was now rapidly expanding in front of the mech.

Finally, it even transformed into a gigantic, semi-transparent behemoth whose shoulder height in a crouching position was almost close to that of a Gundam mecha.

It is called a behemoth because although this enormous creature has the agile physique of a leopard, its head is more similar to that of a saber-toothed tiger.

A pair of large, sharp teeth added a touch of ferocity to her already elegant figure.

To be fair, the way this giant saber-toothed black panther appeared was somewhat similar to when Luca condensed the 'Quelling Dragon Arrow' earlier, except that the original blue particles were gathered and turned black.

And it was after the phantom of the panther god appeared that the Wakandan warriors, who had been bewildered and filled with despair, seemed to have found their backbone, their eyes lit up again, and they knelt down in unison.

However, in reality, not all tribes in Wakanda worship the leopard god.

Crocodile God, Lion God, Ape God.
Each tribe has its own totem belief.

However, when faced with true despair, when God truly performed a miracle before them, it seemed that the beliefs of all the tribes in Wakanda became unified at that moment.

Even the people of Wakanda who were hiding in underground shelters in the city and watching the battle remotely via video saw a glimmer of hope return to their despair. They all bowed their heads and prayed earnestly to the leopard god.

But at this moment.

A seemingly ordinary miniature missile suddenly flew out from behind the Boxer Gundam, from the mechanized army formation that should have ceased fire.

It struck the enormous phantom of the leopard god straight across the plain.

"Boom~"

There was a loud bang.

This unassuming miniature missile unexpectedly unleashed a massive burst of fire and shock.

At this moment, the Wakanda people who had just been praying all looked bewildered.

Based on their understanding, they couldn't imagine what kind of person would attack a god.

Fortunately, the leopard god, which appeared to be nothing more than a semi-transparent phantom, remained completely still during the explosion.

He glanced casually at the wisps of smoke rising from his shoulder before looking back at the boxer Gundam.

"Cough, there's a bug in the program. I clearly ordered a ceasefire."

Luca offered a completely insincere explanation.

The phantom of the leopard god in front of them didn't seem to care about this matter, and continued to speak in her somewhat low and hoarse voice.

"Newly born Dimensional Lord, I believe we can now."

Just as the Leopard God was about to continue speaking, he suddenly paused.

Then, Luca could vaguely detect a hint of helplessness in her unchanging voice.

"Stop your probing. This Mind Stone you possess is insufficient to affect my true form through this clone."

Upon hearing this, Luca, inside the Gundam cockpit, quickly and discreetly hid his glowing right hand behind his back.

However, even so, it took him another two seconds before he slowly stopped the small movements in his hands.

'Knowing the existence of the Mind Stone, knowing about the Hextech Dimension, and confirming it must be the true form of the Panther God.'

'It was able to withstand bombs without sustaining a scratch, confirming it still possesses considerable combat capability even in this state. If it had a pure vibranium body, it would indeed be difficult to fight.'

"Since you haven't reacted aggressively despite my repeated probing, you either genuinely have good intentions or you're wary." "We can talk."

In that instant, the active thinking brought about by the Mind Stone caused various thoughts to flash rapidly through Luca's mind.

After all, with Wakanda's technology, it wasn't impossible to create a virtual projection to temporarily save the day, especially considering what he had done before.

It's best to test the waters first, no matter what.

After roughly confirming the direction, Luca spoke up without any embarrassment.

"Okay, let's talk then."

The gaze of the phantom of the leopard god seemed to penetrate the armor of the Gundam, staring straight at Luca in the cockpit as he slowly spoke.

"I hope you can preserve Wakanda's independent government."

Although they did not communicate directly through telepathy, with the Leopard God's abilities, it was still easy for him to confine their voices to the two of them.

The others had no idea what the man and the god had discussed, and the Wakandans could only pray and wait.

Having witnessed the fighting prowess displayed by Luca's side, the once arrogant group can now only entrust their future to the gods.

Finally, the enormous phantom of the leopard god began to slowly dissipate, leaving only a majestic "thank you" in the air.

Luca then opened the cockpit door and stepped out.

'Thank goodness, so it really can't last long after all?'

'However, we should still give them the respect they deserve.'

'We didn't think things through enough beforehand; rushing headlong into Wakanda, this mystical nation, was indeed too reckless.'

After confirming that the Leopard God had indeed left, Luca was actually somewhat relieved.

Although he had quite a few miscellaneous cards up his sleeve, he wasn't really afraid of this one clone of the opponent.

However, he is ultimately a being who can be called a god, and Luca is already very satisfied with the current situation.

Actually, this is also because the leopard god in the original work had such a weak presence.

Otherwise, if Luca had known that the other side could possess similar descent abilities, he would never have wanted to launch a large-scale attack on Wakanda in the first place.

'But since things have come to this, let's collect the spoils first!'

With that in mind, Luca leaped out of the cockpit.

It landed right on the floating seat that was drifting towards it.

He then maneuvered the chair and slowly approached the remaining Wakanda soldiers.

Now, he was facing Ramanda, the former queen of Wakanda, who had also been in the charge with a spear but had survived by sheer luck.

"The battle is over. Take me to the Heart-Shaped Grass Plantation. I think the Leopard God has already told you what to do, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ramander remained silent, only looking at Luca with a complex expression.

Originally, in her mind, after the great Black Panther God descended, he should have turned the tide of the battle and driven out the enemy.

But just now, the conditions that the Leopard God's clone had given her before it dissipated, which she had agreed to, made her feel like she had been abandoned by the god she believed in.

Vibranium, Heart-shaped Grass, Technical Reserves.

It seems that in the eyes of that god, none of this could compare to a single promise from the person before him.

"Let's go? What are you waiting for?"
