Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

Thanos did not answer immediately, but simply turned his gaze to him.

Ebony Maw bowed slightly and continued, "That devil's words were full of ignorance and arrogance. The honor of the Dark Order cannot be tarnished."

"I will secure a victory, and I will prove to the entire universe that the great Thanos does not need the help of Hell!"

"Your victory will be claimed by your child!"

Thanos pondered for a moment.

The current score is tied at 2-2, and the remaining three matches are crucial.

Of the Black Order, Ebony Maw's abilities are the most unique and the most powerful.

His telekinesis has reached its pinnacle, and in this unpredictable competition format, he is capable of handling most unknown changes.

If Ebony Maw can win this match, the Black Order will have match point.

Then he can let Dago play in the next game.

If he wins, the match ends immediately. If he loses, he still has one last chance to salvage the situation.

"Yes," Thanos said slowly.

A hint of joy flashed in Ebony Throat's eyes, and he bowed deeply once more.

"Wait a moment."

Thanos stretched out his enormous hand, and in his palm floated a dark purple polyhedral crystal.

There is a kind of viscous energy flowing slowly inside the crystal.

"Take this with you," Thanos said.

Ebony Throat stepped forward and respectfully accepted the crystal with both hands.

The moment he touched it, he felt an extremely violent energy trying to penetrate his skin.

"What is this, Father?" Ebony Throat asked, slightly surprised.

"An energy amplification core," Thanos explained expressionlessly. "Place it on your forehead, and activate it when you face an insurmountable danger. It will temporarily boost your telekinetic power tenfold, or even twentyfold."

Ebony Maw gripped the crystal tightly: "Thank you for your generosity, I will use it to bring you victory!"

He turned and walked toward the teleportation area, his steps elegant and composed.

Thanos watched Ebony Maw's departing figure, his eyes showing no emotion.

There was something he hadn't told Ebony Throat.

Any power gained for no reason will come at a price.

The price to pay is that after a short burst of power, Ebony Maw will not only lose his telekinesis, but in severe cases, his life may even irreversibly end.

But so what?

For the sake of balance in the universe, nothing is irreplaceable.

This includes his own life, and also his promise to Eros.

"I'm sorry, Eros. I'm sorry, Ebony Maw," Thanos silently said to himself.

His will was as firm as steel and unwavering.

The atmosphere was much more relaxed when they arrived at the Earth faction's preparation platform.

Peter Parker's incredible comeback yesterday greatly boosted morale.

Tony, Steve, Quill, and the others were chatting and laughing.

Thor, meanwhile, was holding the divination tube and shaking it vigorously.

"Please, please," Thor muttered, "Let me fight! I've had enough of standing here as a spectator. The Crown Prince of Asgard needs to fight!"

A bamboo skewer fell out.

Saul picked it up immediately and looked at the bottom. Blank.

"Damn it!" Thor slammed the bamboo stick on the ground, spreading his hands. "This thing is definitely broken! Why can't I ever draw one?"

Tony turned and joked, "Maybe this is some kind of cosmic probability. Your brain is too much muscle, and this lottery box has determined that you're not suitable for a high-IQ competition."

Thor glared at Tony: "Stark, you should thank me for my mercy, otherwise I would have turned you into a hot plate of meat with lightning."

Ah Zu stood to the side, watching them bicker with a smile on his face.

He then looked at the Ancient One: "Teacher?"

The Ancient One quietly stepped forward.

She has now reverted to her original, simple appearance.

She reached out and casually pulled a bamboo stick from the divination box.

Turn it over, and the word "Glory" is engraved on the bottom.

"It seems fate has made its choice." Gu Yi said calmly, as if she had simply won a supermarket discount coupon.

Peter Parker immediately jumped up excitedly: "Fantastic! Ancient One! You can definitely win!"

Tony walked over and nodded, saying, "To be honest, seeing it's you makes me feel much more at ease. You'll definitely be fine."

Although there is no accurate standard for measuring the Ancient One's specific strength, the protective charm and substitute charm she casually cast on Nebula and Peter yesterday have fully demonstrated her unfathomable magical prowess.

More importantly, she is the "teacher" of the motherland.

How could someone capable of producing monsters like Homelander be weak?

"Excellent, Master." Steve Rogers breathed a sigh of relief. "With you in the game, we've got this match practically in the bag."

Faced with everyone's blessings, Gu Yi simply nodded slightly, her expression indifferent.

Her attitude was humble, but she always carried a sense of detachment and aloofness.

Then, she turned and walked towards the teleportation area.

As she passed by Azu, she paused slightly.

"Be careful, teacher," Azu said gently. "Remember what I said, don't push yourself. If you encounter any danger, I will stop the match immediately. The earth can lose, but I cannot lose you."

She didn't speak, but gave Ah Zu a very gentle smile.

That smile was fleeting, but it was caught by Ah Zu.

Ah Zu was secretly pleased.

Holographic projections lit up the sky above the stadium.

The Grandmaster's huge face, heavily made up, appeared on the screen.

"Fellow citizens of the universe! Welcome back to the ultimate arena!"

"The score is currently tied at 2-2! Earthlings and the Dark Order are evenly matched! This is simply the best script I've ever seen!"

A cheer erupted from the audience.

"Now, let's jump straight to the climax! The fifth match is officially beginning!"

"Please welcome both teams to the arena!"

Two beams of light landed at opposite ends of the arena.

"Representing Thanos's side is the Black Order's strategist! He needs no weapons; his mind is the most lethal weapon. Ladies and gentlemen, cheer for Ebony Maw!"

Ebony Maw's figure appeared in the pillar of light.

His feet were half a foot off the ground, hovering in mid-air.

With his hands behind his back, he adopted an elegant yet arrogant posture.

"And representing Earth in this battle!" the Grandmaster drawled, "is a mysterious woman! She is known as the Sorcerer Supreme! Let's see if her magic can withstand the wrath of the cosmic butcher. Please welcome the Ancient One!"

Gu Yi stood in the pillar of light.

His hands hung naturally at his sides, his face was calm and still, and he made no unnecessary movements.

"Now!" the Grandmaster roared, "the moment of truth has arrived. Audiences throughout the universe, pick up your voting devices. The terrain that will decide their fate is yours to choose!"

The large screen above the venue began scrolling through various terrains at breakneck speed.

Ten seconds later, the image froze.

"A miniature universe!" The Grandmaster laughed. "You lot, you're all incredibly cruel. This is a place without gravity, without a foothold, only destruction and collision!"
