Shadow of the Beautiful World

The host issued a call, and the contestants entered the arena one after another.

In the border of hell, there is a temporarily built obsidian hall, where the contestants rest, and the communication between these competitors is also very interesting.

Lord Doom wearing a hood is the coolest.

He occupied the only table by himself, and no one challenged or disturbed him, the breath of a strong man was blowing his face.

Beside him, the Scarlet Witch and the two ladies Hermione were talking in a low voice.

The two looked very polite, but their demeanor was slightly alienated from each other.

Shazam maintains the superman form, he observes left and right, but from time to time, his eyes will glance at Loki, who is leaning against the wall and closing his eyes to rest.

The feminine Loki has an outstanding appearance and a charming temperament, which makes the young man always a little bit out of his mind.

Of course, this may also be due to the role of the mind stone.

After all, among all the people here, the spirit of Shazam in superman form is probably the most unstable guy.

Of course, that kind of uncertainty is also relative to the other monsters in this hall.

Modu and Wang Pan, who were the first to arrive, sat on the steps on the other side of the hall. The two were making the most of the last time to organize their equipment and channel their magic power to make themselves more adaptable to the environment of hell.

And Ebony Mouth just politely struck up a conversation with everyone in the hall, and the effect was very good.

It was almost pushed to the ground by the most impulsive Shazam, and the others were not interested in taking care of it.

Alas, this damned, face-seeking world is really annoying.

Everyone is in a competitive relationship with each other. Maybe some guys with good brains want to join forces, but now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, it is obviously not a good time to talk about these confidential things.

The last one who came belatedly was Stephen Strange, the wild mage.

He washed up in the border queen's palace, changed into a suit of clothes, and prepared various auxiliary materials for battle.

When he flew into the hall with the magic floating cloak, everyone stopped what they were doing and focused on him.

Either curiosity, or scrutiny, or contempt, or gloomy gaze made Strange feel a little uncomfortable.

He looked around for a week, then ignored other gazes, and strode towards Superman Shazam who was sitting on the edge, scratching his head.

The two of them said something, and then Shazam showed a strange and surprised expression on his face.

The two also shook hands.

This action made other competitors think about it.

But Strange and Shazam aren't allied, they're just reciprocating.

After knowing that they are both Raven's disciples, the two may not be considered friends, but at least they will not fall into the bad situation of being hostile to each other and stabbing each other.

Five minutes after Strange arrived at the meeting point, Lord Raven quietly appeared.

He stepped out of the gentle white light and stood at the top of the stairs in the hall.

He didn't look at the contestants either, but took out the Book of Weissandi bound with chains in a very businesslike manner.

Merlin held it in his hands, and under the watchful eyes of the others, the chains tied to the magic tome were untied. This thick and large book was opened by invisible magic power, and the pages moved automatically without wind.

Gold, white, and black three-color rays of light flashed on the top of the page, intertwined and fused, this is the power of the three spirits of Emperor Weishan.

They are connected to each other, and with the cooperation of energies of different natures, a light curtain is used to create an opened door.

I won't talk nonsense.

Merlin was standing by the open door holding the book of Emperor Weishan. He looked at all the spellcasters who stood up in front of him but stood clearly in the hall, and said in a loud voice with no expression on his face:

One last emphasis on the rules.

After entering the battlefield, everyone can use all means to win until there is only one person left.

Perseverance to the end means victory.

All contestants can call for assistants in the battlefield, but the assistant's strength must not be higher than the Heavenly Father.

In the end, this is a competition, not a murder! Therefore, if you feel powerless and have a premonition of failure, you can admit defeat and exit.

Raven looked around, and everyone was silent.

He finally asked:

Anyone else have any questions?

If the loser refuses to admit defeat and walk out...

Doom's voice as cold as steel sounded in the hall, and he said:

Does that mean...

Merlin glanced at King Doom, he nodded and said:

There is only victory and defeat, regardless of life or death!

These words were like a gust of cold wind blowing into the hall at this moment, Strange, who was the weakest, couldn't help touching his neck, feeling a bit of coolness.

Of course, there is also malice from behind.

Someone is after him.

Some guys seem to plan to use him to make an example to others.

This battle will be projected to all spellcasters in the entire magical world who are concerned about this matter, and the next supreme mage will be born among you.

Raven said softly:

This is a stage, now, show your strength and wisdom to all audiences!

If there is no problem, please enter the battlefield.

Under Merlin's urging, Doom stepped into the light curtain first, followed by the Karma Taj duo, Loki, Ebony Maw, Shazam, Strange, Wanda and Hermione.

After the last person disappeared in the light curtain, the Book of Emperor Weishan suddenly closed, and the door to the world that the light curtain led to quickly dissipated.

The battlefield is closed...

The fight begins.

—————————

hum

Between the shuddering light, Doom's figure appeared on the edge of a scorching crater.

The moment he entered the battlefield, His Majesty the King immediately raised his arm, and several modules on the arm of the silver-white armor flipped outwards, and then, like a small missile launched, flew into the sky of this world amidst howling flames.

It is a monitoring and detection device, just like a satellite.

They operate outside the atmosphere, and can form a digital monitoring system covering the entire world for Dum in a short period of time.

During the few minutes when the surveillance system was activated, Dum, standing on the crater, looked around, and soon he frowned.

This world, which is used as a battlefield, is very strange.

The sky above His Majesty's head was covered with hazy clouds like the wasteland of hell, and strange arcs of red, pale, and lavender hovered above the clouds.

Occasionally, lightning bolts of different colors would appear in the far distance of the event horizon, crashing from the sky to the ground, and then disappearing in a flash.

This makes the world look very gloomy and ominous.

And under the ground where his feet were standing, Dum could feel that there was a steady stream of special magic power seeping out from the ground, but that magic power was not pure.

That is the magic power of chaos, and it is extremely different from the breath in hell.

In fact, it has been mixed with too many impurities.

If Miss Magician Zatanna was here, she would definitely exclaim, because the magic power of this place has been polluted by chaos, as if countless evil spirits from the Lightless Sea have crossed the barriers of the world and invaded this place. world.

This is a haunted place.

Doom ignored the scorching breath coming from the violent crater below. He turned his head and looked further away, but all he could see was a black mountain range, stretching endlessly until the end of his sight.

Volcanic ash from the eruption was blown in the air, and the hot ash blanketed the nearby ridges, making the mountains almost lifeless.

The white mist rising from the cracked earth gave the mountains a feeling of coming from another world.

Farther away, there are dark forests full of shadows.

But when Doom looked directly at the twisted and spreading jungles, he could always see some black smoke rising in his vision.

That is not a phenomenon of the material world, but a landscape formed by the interweaving of dark magic power.

There were also faint noises in his ears, as if in those hazy jungles, some inexplicable creatures were singing loudly, using harsh and unpleasant music, calling him to go there.

boom

A loud noise like thunder made Doom look up to the sky, and a black shadow quickly opened in the sky.

Like ink dripping into a pool of water, in the gloomy and dark scene, a huge figure like a whale is squeezing out of the darkness bit by bit.

Can't see the appearance clearly, only a vague shadow can be seen.

And outside the shadow's body, there are creepy tentacles shaking endlessly.

More like a wacky, unnameable jellyfish.

It swayed its body, swimming out of the shadows of the sky, swayed its body in the sky shining with all kinds of evil halos, and after flying hundreds of meters, it plunged into a cloud of lavender evil light In the regiment, it disappeared.

Although it was just a glimpse, it still made His Majesty Doom frown.

The dimensional barriers of this world have completely collapsed, just like the outer wall of a castle collapsed, and it can no longer prevent the hateful robbers from entering and leaving at will.

The appearance and disappearance of evil spirits from other dimensions seems to be a very normal thing.

This is a world invaded by evil spirits.

No!

Not an invasion.

It has been destroyed by those evil things, and what remains here is only the ruins of civilization.

hum

A few minutes later, the monitoring system composed of several micro-satellites that Dum launched into the atmosphere was officially launched. On the tactical eyepiece in front of his eyes, a projection of a bird's-eye view was quickly outlined.

Dum positioned himself first.

He found that the place where he was located was in the north of this small world, the Western Continent.

In addition to this island-like continent, there are several larger continents on the other side of the world.

But in the constantly zooming surveillance projection of the high-altitude satellite, Dum can clearly see that the other continents have been completely covered by a layer of indescribable things.

flesh.

The tumbling flesh and blood, like the abscessed rotten flesh growing on the ground, the flesh and blood tentacles covered with black barbs swaying on the ground like a mountain, and things like the huge mouth of the abyss can be seen everywhere leading to the ground.

There are stinky blood pools festering on the ground everywhere, and some alienated creatures walk through the flesh-covered ground.

This hopeless landscape covers every other continent, and even in the deep sea, satellites can still capture some indescribable creatures floating on the surface.

The festering body, twisted limbs, covered with dangling tentacles and abnormal eyeballs, but it is extremely huge, every time it floats up, it is like a hill suspended above the sea.

It looks like mental pollution at a glance.

A world that has become hopeless, and there is no doubt that this is the battlefield for the battle for the Supreme Mage.

But it's not all hopeless.

During the detection of the satellite system, His Majesty Dum also discovered that although the two sides and the coastline of the island of the Western Continent where he was located, flesh and blood infections like other continents had already appeared.

But in the south of this dark mountain range, in several valleys, there are still several gathering places of life.

That seems to be the last few cities in the world.

And the largest city among them is not far from Dum, only a few hundred kilometers away.

hum

Just when Dum was calculating the road to the city, a piece of the monitoring projection in front of him suddenly disappeared, which made the king immediately look up to the sky. Faint firelight.

One of his monitors was knocked out!

It is not yet known whether it was done by the weird creatures in this world or by other contestants.

But it didn't matter, Doom already knew enough information.

With the help of the remaining high-altitude surveillance satellites, Dum discovered the locations of several other contestants who were not good at hiding. After entering this world, the positions of all competitors seemed to be randomly selected.

The most unlucky one was Shazam. He was thrown directly into the shallow sea of ​​the mainland. As soon as he appeared, he was targeted by several flesh and blood monsters.

boom

The propeller under Doom's feet burst out with blue flames, propelling His Majesty the King towards the nearest city like a meteor, and of course he did not forget to cause some trouble for others.

Target locked.

Doom gave orders to several monitoring devices in the sky.

A cold light flashed in his eyes.

The next moment, a silver-white device suspended outside the atmosphere immediately ignited, and quickly fell towards the ground along the orbit closest to the target.

The gadget tore through the hazy clouds, drew a white trail in the dim sky, and fell towards a certain direction in this area.

The scarlet witch who was on her way had a premonition of the coming crisis.

She stopped, raised her head, and saw a silver-white missile-like thing falling rapidly towards her in the sky thousands of meters high.

Wanda didn't hesitate, she raised her five fingers, and the crimson energy gathered quickly, gathering among the witches like flames, and in Wanda's fist swing, gathered into a red sharp blade, stabbing fiercely at the witch. Assault objects falling from high altitude.

boom

Dazzling flames erupted at an altitude of hundreds of meters, like a big fireball rising from the sky, and the orbital bomb dropped by Dum was easily destroyed.

But Wanda was not happy.

Because of this dazzling fireball, her position was exposed.

Just a few minutes later, Wanda, who was speeding in the valley, felt several sharp auras from the front and rear.

hell...

She is being targeted.
