Chapter 179: Chapter 177: The Blessing of the Gods
Chino soared toward Kahndaq City, the howling wind roaring in his ears.
He overlooked the land below and took in the full view of the city.
Its appearance was dilapidated, with old and decaying buildings. The roads were riddled with potholes, and the basic infrastructure was in shambles.
In stark contrast to the modern and prosperous cities outside, Kahndaq seemed to be forgotten by time—decades or even centuries behind the outside world in terms of development.
Hulu also noticed the statue that the leader had mentioned. Though five thousand years of wind and sand had blurred its features, the unique lightning bolt symbol on its chest remained prominent, telling of a former glory.
People of Kahndaq looked up to the sky, their eyes filled with a mixture of fear and anticipation.
In this world, the ability to fly belonged either to heroes or villains.
They longed for salvation by heroes, yet feared the destruction that villains might bring.
Chino landed on the ground, a puff of dust rising beneath his feet. He walked step by step toward the ancient palace.
Venom and Pamela walked on either side of him.
Black Adam followed behind, along with Hulu and Aya, his expression solemn.
Harley carried Diana in the back, curiously approaching anything that caught her eye.
Wherever they went, the crowd stepped back in silence. Though there were hundreds of people around, the silence was so complete that it felt as if a pin could be heard dropping.
The people of Kahndaq focused their eyes on this group, especially on Black Adam. Their gazes fixed on the lightning emblem on his chest. Some were stirred, ready to speak, but swallowed their words.
Hulu looked around at the expressions in the crowd. Though he was only a child, he didn't dare to meet their eyes.
Their eyes were filled with fear and suppression.
Kahndaq was under oppression—he understood it clearly.
The oppression was not only reflected in the hardships of daily life and material scarcity but had also been deeply imprinted in the souls of the people.
No one knew how much time passed, but behind Chino's group, a large crowd had gathered silently, following them without a word.
Soon, they arrived at a fenced-off area.
Tall fences rose around it, wrapped with sharp barbed wire.
"What are you doing here!?"
"This is International Gang territory. Get lost."
"Wait—you're not from Kahndaq. Undergo inspection."
Dozens of armed militants in black uniforms raised their guns, shouting menacingly.
Chino didn't slow down at all and continued walking forward.
"Black Adam," Chino said calmly.
Black Adam flew into the sky. Blue lightning surged in his hand, glowing brilliantly.
"Sh*t…"
The militants stared dumbfounded at Black Adam, terror written all over their faces.
In the next second, lightning struck. Accompanied by a loud crackling sound and a blinding flash, the entire group of militants was reduced to charred corpses.
The barricades and iron gates blocking the way were instantly blown to pieces.
The people of Kahndaq stood stunned for a moment before erupting into a frenzied cheer.
"The International Gang is dead!"
"Hahaha! Serves them right!"
"Teth-Adam—are you the demigod who saved us five thousand years ago?"
"A hero! A hero! Our hero has arrived!"
The thunderous cries echoed into the sky. Joy and hope lit up people's faces. The darkness that had long oppressed them seemed to lift, if only slightly.
Black Adam didn't respond. He simply landed behind the leader with his usual cold expression.
The surrounding crowd soon realized that this man was not the leader. Their reverent gazes turned toward Chino instead.
"Why did you kill them?" Diana questioned. "Their weapons couldn't even harm you."
Wonder Woman, who was actually quite famous, was covered in dust. Her head was shaved, and her gear was bound with rope, making her almost unrecognizable.
Quote of the Chapter: "When power speaks through thunder, justice no longer needs to whisper."
