"Next… Africa?"
After wrapping up Europe's crisis, Aiden Cross picked up the second report—
Submitted by The Pharoah.
Africa—
Was a battlefield.
Situation Overview
The Noxus Empire had launched violent expansion
Half of Africa had already fallen under bloodshed and conquest
Rebel forces + warlords → aligned with Noxus
At the same time—
A new king had risen.
T'Challa
After inheriting the throne—
He declared war.
Wakanda vs Noxus.
Despite superior technology—
Wakanda was losing.
Forced into a corner—
They formed an alliance with the Hero Alliance's African Branch.
At first—
Balance.
Then—
It broke.
The Problem
"…How did the Monster Association get involved with Noxus?"
Aiden Cross frowned.
Aizen answered calmly:
"As long as there are shared interests—and a common enemy—alliances form easily."
Now—
The situation had escalated.
Enemy Forces
Noxus:
2 Dragon-level
9 Demon-level
Monster Association (support):
At least 1 Above Dragon
Multiple Dragon-level threats
Allied Forces (Africa Branch)
S-Class: The Pharoah
A-Class: Gareth Ironblade (Ares skin)
B/A-Class: Child Emperor
Support: Wakanda
But—
Even with Wakanda—
They were struggling.
Why Wakanda Is Losing
T'Challa:
Base: C-Class level
With suit: barely Demon-level
Opponent:
Draven (Noxus)
Ranged
Equal or superior combat ability
Result:
Wakanda—
Outclassed.
"…So who do we send?"
Aizen adjusted his glasses.
"Frankly… we don't have spare combat power."
"To stabilize Africa—"
"At minimum, we need an S-Class deployment."
Available S-Class:
Aizen himself
King
Others:
Tornado → missing
Professor Koro → busy with academy
Core forces → already distributed
Aiden Cross shook his head.
"No."
Why Not Send S-Class?
Aizen:
Required at HQ
Strategic brain of all 7 branches
King:
Aiden Cross paused.
"…No."
King—
Was a fraud.
Equipped with:
Stark's Mark VII armor
Modified power system (Child Emperor + Tony tech)
Below A-Class?
He dominates.
Above that?
Useless.
But—
His luck?
God-tier.
The "King Phenomenon"
According to King:
He goes out to buy games
A strange purple portal appears
Covered in eyes… with pink ribbons (???)
A girl in white flashes brieflyThen—
THUD THUD THUD
Dead monsters fall out.
Every time.
Perfect timing.
People see:
Blood on King
Corpses everywhere
Conclusion?
"He did it."
Even when he denies it—
People think he's being humble.
Result:
S-Class Hero
"Strongest Man on Earth"
Feared by monsters worldwide
Aiden Cross sighed.
"…His luck is maxed out."
Even monsters—
Were terrified of King.
Despite the fact—
He was just buying games.
"King stays."
Aiden Cross decided.
The Real Problem
"No reinforcements."
Aizen nodded.
"This isn't something A-Class heroes can fix."
Aiden Cross leaned back.
"…Then we create new ones."
Aizen paused.
"…You mean—summoning?"
"Exactly."
If one pull fails—
Then pull again.
If power isn't enough—
Then generate more.
And if that still isn't enough—
Aiden Cross stood up.
"…I'll go personally."
Because this war—
Was no longer a regional conflict.
It was—
A proving ground.
