Chapter 99
One month later.
The Void.
A light golden transparent dome stood tall.
Not far outside the dome, there was a high platform, and on the platform sat a throne symbolizing power and status.
Below the throne.
Reed, Benjamin, Old Loki, Kid Loki, Thor, Sharon Carter, Maria Hill, and the scavenging team managed by the Lokis were all present.
Looking at it, heads were bobbing, dense and numerous.
Inside the dome.
Five unconscious men and women lay on the ground not far from each other, completely unaware that countless eyes were eagerly waiting for them to wake up.
High platform, on the throne.
The Kimoyo Beads on Su Quan's wrist projected holographic information of the five people, from left to right:

As the first batch of contestants for the [Void Brawl Arena], they were all carefully selected and brought back by Su Quan himself.
To him, each of them represented a different meaning.
"Unh—"
Inside the dome, Bruce Wayne, wearing an expensive suit, frowned and woke up leisurely.
He remembered he was on his way to a party, and then—
"Hiss!"
Bruce Wayne pressed his head, discovering that he couldn't remember anything at all.
"What is this place? Who are you!"
A somewhat panicked man's voice came from the side. Bruce Wayne turned to look; a young man was looking around in a panic.
Besides this young man, several others had just woken up.
Counting himself, there were five people here, three men and two women, who shouldn't know each other.
Just as the few were sizing each other up and being on guard, a figure appeared silently in front of them.
"Welcome to the Void Brawl Arena."
"There is only one rule here, and that is battle!"
"The winner is king, and the survivor is king."
"The final winner can choose to go home or make a wish."
"The surviving losers will participate in the next arena until they die or become the winner."
"The competition, starts now!"
Quiet and silent.
Five people stared at the man who was talking to himself in front of them.
Suddenly, a man walked out cursing.
The man, manic in his speech, aimed his hands at Su Quan, who had just finished his opening remarks.
"Listen, I don't give a damn who you are; you must send me back immediately, otherwise I will blind your eyes and blow your head off."
"Did you hear me? Asshole!"
Hum!
The man's hands lit up with light like the sun.
"Cool, you're a mutant too?" Magik whistled and shouted with a grin: "Go for it, kill him!"
"Mutant?"
Batman muttered this new term to himself, finding that the other two people didn't seem to have heard the term "mutant" either; they looked at the man's glowing hands with very shocked expressions.
"Alright, alright, let's clear up the situation first."
"For you, the current reaction is normal, but you really should use your brains to think and think about your current situation."
"Since I can bring you here, why do you think you can threaten me?"
Su Quan raised his hand and shook it lightly at the man; with a boom, a ball of energy sent him flying.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: 5 points"
Su Quan curled his lips and smiled brilliantly: "For the sake of fairness, as long as one person doesn't follow the rules, everyone will be punished."
"Don't worry, the force is the same!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Four energy light waves were blasted out almost simultaneously.
Batman reacted the fastest, rolling on the ground to dodge, but his body seemed to lose control for a few seconds in an instant.
"Bang!"
Batman was hit and rolled out.
The second-generation Green Goblin, the second-generation Silk Spectre, and Magik were hit almost at the same time.
"Friendship is second, competition is first."
"I'll be waiting for you, the final winner!"
Su Quan smiled and returned to the high platform outside the dome with a "whoosh."
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: 5 points"
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: 5 points"
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: 5 points"
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Psionic Armor (Magik)"
Not bad, got some loot!
Su Quan had a thought, and in an instant, his right shoulder and arm were covered with a layer of armor that looked like metal.
"Just so-so."
Su Quan didn't choose to cover his whole body but put it away; he was more interested in the arena inside the dome now.
By the way, this dome is an upgraded version of Reed's force field shield, which has been amplified by the Ten Rings energy, and its defensive effect has been enhanced several times, while also having other functions.
For example, prohibiting teleportation.
For example, they can see the situation inside clearly from the outside, but the people inside cannot see the outside; for the people inside, the boundary of the dome is the same as the surrounding environment!
The reason Su Quan gave the opening remarks himself was to let the contestants know his identity and to farm rewards once before the brawl.
Su Quan will definitely go to the worlds of these contestants again; he doesn't want to have to re-introduce his identity when the time comes.
Playing the pig to eat the tiger is interesting, but if anyone dares to jump in front of him, then it's not playing the pig to eat the tiger, but a real pig!
"My name is Harry Osborn; my father is the president of Osborn Enterprises, Norman Osborn."
"If you don't hurt me, I can give you a lot of money!"
"Osborn Enterprises? I've never heard of it." The second-generation Silk Spectre shook her head and then said: "Have you heard of Watchmen?"
"Never heard of it."
"I haven't heard of it either."
"Are you mutants?" Batman looked at the man and Magik.
Magik shrugged coolly.
The man, however, activated his ability and aimed at Batman: "Damn it, are you from an anti-mutant organization?"
"I'm not."
"I don't believe it!"
The man shouted and attacked Batman directly!
But, if I start from scratch and write in pieces, how to travel, how to catch people, it seems a bit long, so I just wrote it directly like this. As for the characters and their worlds, I'll write about them later, which is easier to get into.
Finally, the delay in the book review section is too pit-like; I can't get feedback in time at all now, I can only write tentatively, and I want reference opinions, but it takes at least a few days to see them, I'm so worried about writing off-track.
— Author's Notes —
PS: I thought about this chapter for a long time; the main story of the zombie universe is finished, and everyone doesn't seem to like reading about the side stories, and the main movie timeline doesn't have much plot without foreshadowing, so after thinking about it, I decided to write about the arena. I conceived this book initially because of getting rewards from watching, and the arena brawl was one of the ideas.
