Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

After several days of space jumps, the spaceship finally arrived at the Land of Nothingness.

The Celestial Venerable did not break his promise.

The "ostentation" he described far exceeded everyone's expectations.

The Cosmic Arena is a colossal spectacle materialized from the primitive gladiatorial coin rule.

It floats amidst a colorful nebula, its size comparable to a small satellite.

Around the arena, tens of thousands of interstellar warships, cruise ships, and raider ships were densely packed together.

Besides established interstellar powers like the Kree and Shi'ar empires, thousands of other civilizations, large and small, sent delegations to observe the battle.

After all, such a showdown is a once-in-a-millennium event.

In addition, many of the civilizations that came to watch the battle had suffered at Thanos's hands and hoped to see this cosmic butcher punished by justice.

Inside the arena, the seating is arranged in a circular, tiered pattern, large enough to accommodate a million alien spectators.

At this moment, the stands were packed with all sorts of bizarre alien creatures.

In the very center of the arena was a massive arena enveloped in a protective shield of law energy.

On either side of the arena, two independent preparation platforms are suspended.

A flash of light, and Azu led the Earth team onto the left-hand preparation platform.

As a ruthless individual who single-handedly conquered Planet Ego, Homelander's reputation in the universe had already soared.

Azu walked to the edge of the platform and waved to the alien audience in the stands with a smile.

"This is way more exciting than the Super Bowl." Tony looked around. "You should put Walter's GG here."

"Focus, Tony. The enemy is here." Steve Rogers gripped his shield, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

On the right-hand preparation platform, a flash of purple light appeared.

Thanos and his army appeared out of thin air.

Ebony Maw, Proxima Midnight, and Eros the Fox. And two patrons of Mephisto, Red Hood and Iron Judge.

Six people.

Thanos stood at the very front, his gaze sweeping across the vast distance and locking onto Azu.

Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred.

The moment Nebula saw Thanos, her fingers clenched tightly, and her eyes burned with murderous intent.

"They're missing one person?" Captain Rogers keenly noticed the enemy's numbers.

"Maybe they're scared and don't dare to come anymore," Thor said, shoving his Stormbreaker axe and laughing loudly.

At that moment, Peter Parker tugged at the hem of Tony's suit jacket, leaned closer to him, and said:

"Mr. Stark, look over there. That guy dressed like a medieval executioner. He has almost the same suit of armor as you, but he looks much more sinister."

"You call that armor? Kid, you should see an ophthalmologist." Tony Stark's face was full of undisguised sarcasm.

"That thing looks like a hybrid of a used microwave and No. 47 concrete. If he met me on the field, I could shatter it into eight pieces in three seconds."

Peter scratched the back of his head. "But he seemed very intimidating..."

"Oppression comes from ignorance." Tony shrugged. "You'll know what oppression is when I shove my palm cannon into his ass exhaust pipe."

"Don't be careless," the Ancient One warned. "That person in the red cloak and armor has a strong aura of dark magic about them."

Before long, a burst of exciting electronic music resounded throughout the entire cosmic arena.

Colorful fireworks exploded one after another in the sky.

The Grandmaster, dressed in a shimmering, floor-length golden robe, descended slowly from above the arena, stepping on a hovering platform.

Behind him, a giant holographic screen, larger than ten football fields, lit up simultaneously, making his half-body image occupy the entire starry sky background.

"All the humans, reptiles, scavengers, trash, warriors, and those nameless, slimy creatures in the universe!"

The High Celestial Venerable spread his arms wide, looking radiant.

"Welcome! Welcome to the cosmic arena!"

"Today, we are not only witnessing history, we are making history! Two of the most elite teams will engage in an ultimate battle here for the supreme power of the universe! There is no turning back, no mercy, only the purest form of combat!"

"To my right lies the cosmic butcher who makes half the universe tremble, the Mad Titan—Thanos! And his Dark Order!"

"And to my left, from a remote but grumpy little planet! The Vought Legion, led by the most sought-after guardian in the galaxy right now—Homlandall!"

"Who will ultimately take the unparalleled Space Stone? Who will leave with a smile? Let's wait and see!"

On the preparation platform, Azu ignored the Grandmaster's grand opening remarks and instead took out a miniature quantum broadcasting device.

Upon activation, it instantly captured the Grandmaster's cosmic live broadcast signal frequency band.

"Skynet, connect the signal," Azu commanded over the communication channel.

"Received, sir. The signal has been synchronized globally." Skynet's gentle voice sounded in my ear.

At the same time, in every corner of the earth.

All televisions, social media platforms, and outdoor screens worldwide were forced to switch content again.

The incredible grandeur of the cosmic arena was clearly displayed before billions of people on Earth.

The Earth instantly boiled over once again.

The online discussion about it surged to the top spot globally.

"Wow, this is the alien arena? It's spectacular!"

"Look at that purple head, is that Thanos? He's really ugly!"

"Homelander is still so handsome, number one!"

In the arena, the Grandmaster's address finally came to an end.

The preparation platforms on both sides slowly moved towards the center, eventually connecting perfectly with the main arena.

The two teams stood facing each other, no more than a few dozen meters apart, and the air seemed to spark.

At this moment, the High Celestial Venerable stepped aside.

An ancient coin flew from his hand and hovered between the two teams.

The coin emitted a dazzling light, and a phantom figure emerged from the light.

This is the spirit of gladiators born from the original gladiator coin.

It has no facial features; its entire body is composed of mysterious runes.

"The gladiatorial oath ceremony begins." The emotionless voice of the Gladiator Spirit rang in everyone's ears, "Offer your stakes, and the contract is immediately established."

The Grandmaster slowly pulled a cube emitting a blue light from his robe; it was the Cosmic Cube.

He placed the Rubik's Cube into a transparent container formed by the Gladiator's Spirit.

The container's surface was covered with a dense layer of golden runes, completely locking it in place.

"The base bet has been confirmed." The Spirit of Gladiators turned to Thanos and Arzu. "Both sides have declared their intention to raise the stakes, offering up your Infinity Stones."

As soon as he finished speaking, a betting platform covered with runes appeared in front of both Azu and Thanos.
