Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 839 The Betting Battle (First Update)

"Wait!"

As expected, upon hearing the news of the Anti-Life Equation, Darkseid changed his previous indifferent attitude, immediately opened his eyes, and reached out to stop his subordinates from continuing their attack.

"You say you know where the Anti-Life Equation is located?"

"Yes, as a mage, I often travel to different universes. On one occasion, I discovered the legendary anti-life equation on a planet in a certain universe, and it was engraved on the surface of that planet."

"I heard from Steppenwolf before that Lord Darkseid seems to be searching for the anti-life equation, so I came here today specifically to report to him."

Jerry can lie without batting an eye.

Darkseid stared at Jerry:

"In which universe specifically? On which planet?"

Having reached Darkseid's level of power, he knew that there were many beings in the multiverse who were as strong as him, as well as those stronger than him, such as the Watchers, gods of higher dimensions, and so on.

However, to achieve the ambition of unifying all universes, the power of the Omega effect alone is far from enough; the power of the anti-life equation must also be mastered.

"Ahem, well, my memory isn't very good, and I can't quite remember some of it right now. Of course, if Lord Darkseid is willing to make a small bet with me, then I'll remember it immediately."

Jerry coughed twice, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense, and only revealed his true purpose when Darkseid was about to go berserk.

"You think you can negotiate with me?"

Darkseid rose from his floating throne, his powerful aura immediately sweeping over Jerry and the others.

Jerry pretended to take two steps back, his voice trembling slightly.

"Lord Darkseid, if you were to make a move, none of us would stand a chance. But as a mage, I can shatter my own soul before you can even act. That way, even if you kill us all, you won't get the position of the Anti-Life Equation."

Sure enough, Darkseid paused immediately upon hearing Jerry's words, then sat down again.

"First, tell me what your bet is?"

Although he was fairly confident that he could subdue Jerry before his soul shattered by suicide, he was always prepared for the worst. The Anti-Life Equation was too important to him, and he didn't want to take the risk.

Seeing this, Jerry knew that things were basically done, and slowly smiled:

"It's actually very simple. Those who have come here today are the most powerful heroes on our planet. We want to wager a battle against the elites under your command, Darkseid."

Finally, if we win, then please spare our universe and our Earth. If we lose, then we voluntarily offer the Anti-Life Equation to you and pledge our loyalty.

"Hahahaha! Hahaha!"

Before Darkseid could answer, his men burst into laughter, as if Jerry were telling a joke that was completely unbelievable to them.

These few people dare to challenge their 100,000 most elite and powerful warriors in the universe; they are simply overestimating themselves.

"Although your idea seems ridiculous to me, I'm willing to give you this opportunity."

Darkseid tapped his thick fingers on the throne a few times, then nodded coldly.

He also felt that these people in front of him could not possibly be a match for his men. If, by any chance, these people had even the slightest possibility of defeating his men, it would only prove that his men were too weak and deserved to die.

Darkseid's logic is simple: if his subordinates win, they gain the location of the Anti-Life Equation, kill all the opponents, and then destroy their universe.

If your subordinates lose, then forcibly acquire the Anti-Life Equation, transform all the opposing people into your new, more powerful subordinates, and then send them to destroy their own universe.

Since he was going to get the Anti-Life Equation no matter what, he figured it would be good for him to relieve some boredom, so he agreed.

Of course, he wasn't stupid. He knew that the other party's purpose in proposing the bet was definitely not as simple as it seemed. But so what? In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks were useless.

No matter what kind of conspiracy there was, he was absolutely confident that he had the strength to easily deal with it.

"That useless Grace actually lost to a bunch of low-level bastards! She's utterly disgraced our dark elites!"

As soon as the betting battle officially began, an alien who looked five or six parts similar to Grace flew out from behind Darkseid. It was Godfrey, who had a much stronger mind control ability than Grace and was also Grace's brother.

"General Svanwick!"

Jerry looked at Martian Manhunter again, and Martian Manhunter went to meet him without any hesitation.

Without much talk, the two sides immediately began fighting in the air.

Godfrey was clearly far superior to Grace. First, his mind control ability was so strong that even Martians like Martian Manhunter, who had a strong resistance to mind control, were struggling to withstand it and had to stop and drive him away from time to time.

Unlike when he faced Grace, he felt absolutely nothing.

Secondly, he can also use his powerful mental strength to levitate his body, create mental barriers, and condense his mental energy into weapons for attacks, etc.

Moreover, his physical strength was not weak either. Although he was not as strong as Martian Manhunter, he was at least not completely suppressed.

After several regroupings, the Martian Hunter found himself at a disadvantage due to his body frequently pausing.

If his body hadn't been strong enough, and if he hadn't been able to use his eyes to shoot beams of light in a counterattack while in a phantom state, he might not have been able to hold out for long.

"Stop! We concede the first round!"

Halfway through the battle, Jerry, seeing that the two were still unable to determine a winner, simply conceded defeat.

The rules of this betting contest are that each side sends eight people, who go up in pairs. The loser goes off and the winner continues until one side is completely eliminated, in which case the other side wins.

"Giving up so quickly?"

Darkseid looked at Jerry with a surprised expression in his eyes.

Jerry waved for Martian Manhunter to go down, and then flew up himself.

"He's not young anymore. I'm afraid his body won't be able to handle it if he keeps playing. I'm young, so I'll take over."

If Martian Manhunter and Godfrey continue fighting like this, it's uncertain when a winner will emerge, and he fears unforeseen circumstances might arise if the fight drags on.

Martian Manhunter, who had just landed next to Superman, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, but he didn't object because of the plan Jerry had agreed on earlier.

He was indeed quite old, but he believed that Jerry, this mysterious magician, must be much older than him, only appearing young on the surface.

"You don't need to come one by one, you can all come at once."

Godfrey saw Martian Manhunter leave and be replaced by Jerry, a mage, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face.

His greatest strength lies in crowd control. This Martian can block it because of his mental abilities. If others were to come at him, they would be enslaved in an instant, which would actually increase his power.
