Chapter 4286: Heroes Assemble! (Part 25)

Immediately after, it came to the voting session. Greed sat in the waiting area, bored. He felt that it should be his turn now; after all, he was more famous than Pride, so there should be quite a few people looking forward to his performance.

Little did he know, the people from his universe below were already canvassing for votes. "Vote for the other one, vote for the other one, don't vote for the Doctor!" Peter pulled this one and dragged that one, greeting them to vote for Pride, and also shouted loudly, "If you vote for the Doctor, in case the duel arena is blown up, there will be nothing to watch in the next match!"

The people who were still hesitating immediately voted for Pride after hearing this, because thinking about it, it was clear that this Schiller who often wore a white coat was more capable of causing trouble. Either he was doing crooked things in some instance leading to the plot taking off, or he was blowing everyone up together in order to defeat some opponent; anyway, nothing in his hands ever ended well. If they let that group compete first now, and he did another big thing, causing the whole duel arena to explode, then the later matches wouldn't be watchable. It was hard to come here, so this wouldn't do.

Thus, precisely because Greed was famous, everyone didn't vote for him, preparing to leave him for last. So the next to go on stage was Magneto's combination vs. Pride's combination.

Magneto took a deep breath. Before, Charles from their universe had been to the universe where Greed was and had worked in the hospital there. He had heard of Schiller's great name from Charles's mouth, so he was a bit nervous about really having to go on stage for a duel.

"What do you think his skills are?" Young Erik asked Charles, "Can you read his mind?"

"Not now, I can after going on stage. However, I don't think mind reading is useful; it might still depend on your performance. We only got your key prop, so we can only hope his skills don't restrain you."

Erik had nothing to say. They searched carefully for Charles's key prop during the regional duel, but just didn't find it, which led to many of Charles's skills not being strong enough. From the Superman vs. Batman battle just now, it could be seen that whether there was a key prop was quite important. Superman's panel values were so strong, and his skills were not weak, but he still lost to the Batman combination; this was the importance of key props.

But whether one could get a key prop didn't completely depend on luck. Erik admitted that their group's planning during the regional duel was a bit of a failure; they didn't focus on finding props in the early stage, just focused on fighting, and by the time they wanted to find them, it was too late. But fortunately, they were lucky; they got Magneto's key prop from others during the early fighting, and his skill deck had changed from a large magnet similar to the movie Magneto to the real Magneto, capable of using cosmic fundamental forces.

Even so, Erik had no bottom in his heart. Besides the famous Schiller, there was also the mysterious Nyarlathotep. Because he could observe various phenomena in the universe and had heard of legends deep in the stars, these Outer Gods were never easy to deal with, and being combined with Schiller belonged to a strong-strong combination.

Thus, he said: "You'd better not read his mind first, in case Nyarlathotep uses a mental pollution skill, it will be troublesome."

Charles remained silent, clearly still wanting to try. The two of them were just like this; the younger Charles was more radical than Erik. Erik paused and continued to persuade: "Or wait for me to test them first, and then you make a move, how about that?"

Charles reluctantly agreed. It's just that neither of them expected that they didn't have a chance to test at all.

Pride walked into the arena alone, holding a black umbrella in his hand. Erik just wanted to open his mouth to say a few scene words, when he saw Pride directly throw the umbrella out. This umbrella first danced into the air, then opened, and immediately, a burst of rich darkness swallowed the entire duel arena, and then the two of them disappeared together.

The audience naturally raised a bunch of question marks. No, we are here to watch the competition, where is the competition???

Some people with short tempers were already cursing. Rocket Raccoon stepped on Drax's shoulders, jumping high to look inside, and shouted: "What is the director doing! How can the screen go black?! Refund!!"

Star-Lord quickly pulled him down and said: "It's like you spent money on the ticket; if you hadn't insisted on holding onto someone's arm, we wouldn't have been beaten like this."

That's right, the area near their seats was a mess. Clearly, a certain female agent came here to have a friendly and kind exchange with them and finally got Bucky's arm back.

"That wasn't snatched by me," Rocket Raccoon said, "it was thrown to me by Superman; it clearly should have been mine. His arm is different from the Winter Soldier's in our universe; it's new and shiny, and it looks so good. Sigh..."

Everyone in the audience was whispering about what was going on. The Beyonder naturally couldn't sit still, he directly drilled into that cloud of black mist, and then disappeared too. Immediately after, Lucifer flapped his wings and appeared above the duel arena, and his appearance triggered cheers from a group of people. He waved to the left, nodded to the right, and then flew into the darkness.

Strangely, he didn't come out either. With this, the discussion became even louder, and everyone speculated about what was going on inside; shouldn't Schiller have really blown up the duel arena?

Some people were already looking at the escape route, hesitantly preparing to leave, otherwise, in case a big one exploded, although they wouldn't really die, that death would still be quite painful. However, there were also those who weren't afraid of death; compared to whether it would explode, they were more curious about what happened inside, and there were even more powerful ones who directly went to Greed to ask, such as Stark.

"What is that Hydra doing?" Stark patted Greed on the shoulder and then said, "He wouldn't really blow up the duel arena, would he?"

"Shouldn't be," Greed shook his head and said, "Pride doesn't like to make such a big commotion. They didn't come out, it should be..."

Actually, Greed didn't know what was going on either. He had a heart to look at the memory bank, but felt it was cheating; after all, if he knew the opponent's skill set in advance, that was very important information advantage. If one of them was eliminated, it would be fine, but if they entered the finals, it would be hard to avoid suspicion of peeking at the screen.

But if he didn't look and just guessed, Greed really didn't know what was going on. He had been very curious about Pride's skills before, and now it seemed he had obtained a key prop, and the effect of this prop seemed to be able to collect people into the umbrella; is he the Silver Horn King?

After waiting for a long time, they didn't wait for anyone to come out, but first saw a white light rise. The audience exploded again, and everyone was guessing who died first, or if they died together. As a result, at this time, the two administrators came out, but they both looked very excited, as if they were arguing about something. Finally, Lucifer flew away, and the Beyonder was so angry that he stomped his feet on the spot.

Others were even more curious; although these two were from different companies and their job levels were not quite the same, they had been colleagues in Battleworld for a long time, and they hadn't heard of any conflicts, so how could they still argue?

Could it be that the code was damaged and they had different opinions when repairing it? But isn't this kind of thing just fine as long as it can be repaired? Whoever can do it should do it; is this worth an argument? And it seemed the Beyonder was quite angry, seemingly not having won the argument against Lucifer. Although Lucifer was the son of the big boss on that side and his technical level might be higher, the Beyonder was the host of this competition; since he was the one to serve as the host, it meant that most of the ideas for this final were his, so how could he be suppressed by others on his own turf?

There were really too many mysteries. However, before they could figure them out one by one, the darkness had already dissipated. Pride's figure holding the umbrella appeared in the center of the duel arena. The Beyonder picked up the microphone and said: "Let us congratulate Schiller on winning this duel!"

Below, there was a burst of boos, and some people threw corn on the cobs, popcorn, and even ice cream into the center of the arena. Fortunately, Pride had an umbrella, so these things didn't hit him; the Beyonder was unlucky, and the ice cream thrown by someone hit him right in the face, directly covering his face.

The Beyonder wiped his face while saying: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious!! That was a special skill just now, causing the director system to be unable to match, we rewrote the director program, the next match won't be like this. After all the matches are over, we will replay this match again. Stop throwing, stop throwing!"

The audience was naturally dissatisfied, but there was no way. However, they were also very curious; logically speaking, these skills were written by the administrators, so they should know what the skills were, so how could they still conflict with the director system?

The Beyonder didn't explain, but hurriedly started the next match. Greed finally got the opportunity to go on stage.

"Doctor, show mercy." Wanda blinked at Greed.

Greed also smiled at her. He didn't have full confidence that he could beat Wanda, but not being able to beat her might be a good thing, so he wouldn't have to be tossed by Pride; that skill looked very wrong.

After going on stage, everyone still cheered quite respectfully, but soon someone shouted: "Doctor! Don't blow up the duel arena, we still want to watch the replay!"

"Yeah, you'd better be careful, we still want to know what that skill is about!"

"Don't worry, don't worry," Greed waved his hands at them; this time he really didn't intend to blow up the duel arena, after all, he also wanted to know what skill Pride had come up with, being so mysterious.

Wanda first floated into the air, and Scarlet Power spread around her. Greed didn't turn into the form of gray mist at the first moment; he planned to try whether he could read the bar like this and catch Wanda off guard.

When he stood there taking out the medical record book, Wanda really didn't react, thinking she had misread it, but Jarvis reacted very quickly and said: "This is a reading bar skill, quickly interrupt him!"

Wanda immediately made a move, and a burst of Scarlet Power attacked Greed's face. Greed was unhurried, first dodged to the side, and took the opportunity to read for another second. Wanda knew that this wouldn't work, so she simply turned on the large-scale group attack skill.

Only to see the Scarlet Power on the arena start to spread, the entire duel area emitted a rich red light, and everything in the duel area started to lose health by the second, and Greed was no exception.

The troublesome thing is that the frequency of losing health is faster than the frequency of Greed reading the bar. Greed can hang a status in one second of reading, but losing health happens once every 0.8 seconds, clearly having been blessed by some props, which led to him not being able to finish reading a whole bar at all, and the skill would be completely unusable.

Greed sighed; don't look at the big numbers he jumps when using settlement skills, in fact, all this is based on his ability to read the bar. If he can't read it, all skills are useless.

However, just as he expected, Scarlet Witch's skills are mainly group attacks, so the values given are not very high; don't look at the jump every 0.8 seconds, in fact, the health bar doesn't move much.

Greed took a deep breath, decided to change his tactics, and directly attack with gray mist.
