In the Settlement Space
In the darkness, a handsome, Evil Qi -looking devil stood out from nowhere, his eyes gleaming with a scarlet light.
In the light, the one-armed figure was surrounded by light and electricity, while the blonde angel with a sweet smile knelt on the ground.
At the boundary between light and darkness, a girl with a terrified expression resolutely walked into the darkness.
"This photo is really well taken." Ron put down his newspaper. "But it makes Homelander look more like the villain. Anyway... where are you, Susan?"
Susan looked like she was in a bad mood.
She rolled her eyes and pointed to the corner of the photo. "This hand is mine. It was the pressure I created that made Starlight kneel down, unable to fight back for a moment. You have no idea how terrifying this guy is. The lasers and lightning he creates can penetrate my shield. As long as there is light and electricity, his body can regenerate."
"If this photo had been taken for just one more second, you would have been able to see her baby hands."
"The most outrageous thing is that her body is still very difficult to destroy. Kate did not do nothing, like a little girl who can only wait to be rescued in the photo."
"In fact, she controlled more than one superhero, including many A-class heroes, but Starlight took them all on without even a scratch."
"So," Magneto took a deep breath, "That's right, just like what the newspapers said, that Mind Control really almost died?"
"It's certain that you'll become Champion," Ralph, unable to hide his envy.
After Starlight was captured, the seven received a message that the mission was completed.
Then there was the enormous countdown in the sky, visible only to them.
Ralph, who felt he had made almost no contribution, had given up hope of becoming Champion.
But he wasn't too disappointed, because his Ron had actually been by his side from the beginning.
However, apart from Magneto, Loki, and Susan, who are almost certainly Champion, Ralph is one of the few.
Peter fears that when he returns to his own world, Uncle Ben will be dead, and even with [Compound V], he won't be able to save him.
Ron was afraid of losing face. His Venom played a significant role in the assassination, and he was afraid that the settlement would be broadcast live, making his personal contribution negative.
He wasn't worried about never seeing Emma and Jordan again; he possessed the [Dream Walking Technique], which allowed him to return.
Perhaps because he had completed the mission in the preliminary rounds, he could now sense the stars belonging to this world within the Ocean of Dreams.
Therefore, the situation where Harry is unable to travel to the Magic Immortal World or the Starry World will not occur.
Katy was saddened that she would never see Li Lin again; if she couldn't become Champion, she might never have had the chance to come into this world again.
Because the trial may not have any settlement rewards, or there may be settlement rewards, but not enough to buy the cheapest version of [Dream Walking Technique].
Susan noticed Katy's worry and quickly took Katy's hand. "Don't worry, if I win the final victory, I will make a wish similar to that of Harry Potter the Victor, a platform that can travel through the Multiverse. Then, we will meet again."
She looked at everyone and said, "I suggest that everyone make this wish. The content can be slightly different. The Multiverse means infinite possibilities. From Ron's story, we can realize that our universe is not an isolated island. We may very well encounter visitors from other universes like the Avengers."
"But these visitors are not necessarily good people."
Loki had already let go of his obsession with changing his origins, nodded.
Even Magneto is one of them.
Magneto believed that as long as he had the power, he could replicate everything in the current universe in his own world.
And this doesn't require expending precious wishes at all.
After hearing Ron's story, he also believed that there were other ways to achieve his wish to resurrect his wife and daughters, and that it would not be difficult.
"Isn't this the Justice League?" Ron said. "I'm not talking about the comics, but the intergalactic peacekeeping organization led by Iron Man in our world. We could easily tell the Justice League about this."
"They have very convenient technology for traveling through space, all they need is a wristband."
"We just need to figure out the coordinates."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Katy nodded eagerly, "I agree. This would be very valuable for members of the Champion. They could receive betting and training from organizations across the Multiverse."
Loki scoffed. "I just want to know how my counterpart from another universe became the King of Asgard."
"I agree," Magneto said.
If we can get in touch with this organization, we might be able to resurrect my wife and daughter ahead of schedule.
Peter nodded in agreement.
In that more advanced world, his uncle's gunshot wound would certainly have been a minor matter.
Susan had no objection.
Ralph, of course, had no reason to object to Ron's suggestion.
"How do we solve the coordinate problem?" Katy asked.
Ron smiled smugly, "I am, after all, a friend of Cosmic Knight Harry. With his help, my mental space can also store items. All I need are things from your world."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
So, the seven of them spent the remaining 10 hours as usual.
Because they knew they would come back sooner or later.
——
Inside the pale palace, the figures of seven people appeared.
"I'm back here again." Magneto sighed. Even now, he couldn't sense the edge of the entire palace through his magnetic field perception, as if it were as boundless as the universe.
"I wonder if we'll ever meet again." Ralph looked around at everything with a slightly greedy gaze, even activating [Snake]'s vision.
But the entire pale world remained unchanged in his eyes.
This shocked him immensely.
Because his ability is essentially to distort his own mind, just like how the people of Yunnan who have eaten mushrooms perceive a puppy's speech as having subtitles, even though the puppy itself hasn't actually changed.
Even though he was mentally alienated, the palace was still a palace.
[The prepared Champion have arrived at the settlement area; 3000 gems will be awarded as a reward]
The Trial Shop is now open.
[Note: Gems can be stored and used later.]
As the mechanical voice sounded, a light blue pop-up window appeared directly in the minds of the seven people.
"That's great!" Katy exclaimed excitedly.
She knew that the cheapest [Dream Walking Technique only cost 150 gems, and with a total prize pool of 3,000 gems, she shouldn't be short of even 150 gems.
This means she will soon be able to see Li Lin again.
Ron wasn't surprised that the [Trial Shop] was opened first, given that the competition format had been changed.
Right now, he and the others are focusing more on the contents of the [Trial Shop] and how to open it.
[Mission [Stop Homelander from destroying the world] Completed. Proceed to settlement?]
Ron, who was about to open the store based on his experience watching live streams, was stopped by this pop-up window. "Yes."
With Ron's consent.
The pale blue box that appeared in the eyes of the seven people popped up on the screen.
[Reserve Champion: Loki Odin's son]
First, there's Loki's big face, then all the key scenes of him in this world.
After carefully reviewing the surveillance footage, Ryan's actions were discovered, and a hypothesis was proposed.
[Conclusion: Task contribution percentage: 15%]
Loki couldn't help but smile. Although he hadn't been told yet that he was Champion, it was practically a done deal if there were four Champion spots.
[Reserve Champion: Erik Lehnsherr]
The images within the box change.
Organize a meeting and suggest that Susan and Katy get closer to Homelander, and persuade Susan to get closer to Mind Control.
[The conclusion is that the task's contribution percentage is 19%]
Magneto finally breathed a sigh of relief.
[Reserve Champion: Tom Ralph Riddle]
The main character in the picture has changed to Ralph.
Attending the meeting
[The conclusion is that the task's contribution accounts for 9%]
Ralph didn't care; he already knew the outcome.
That means you'd need at least 270 gems.
[Preparatory Champion: Peter Parker]
The scene featuring Peter as the main character appears.
Attending the meeting
[The conclusion is that the task's contribution accounts for 9%]
Peter raised his eyebrows; he had expected the percentage to be even lower.
[Reserve Champion: Katy Plant]
The main subject of the scene changes again.
Grab the ninja girl and get close to Homelander.
[Conclusion: Task contribution percentage: 10%]
Katy smiled wryly; at least this way, she had enough gems for the [Dream Walking Technique.
[Reserve Champion: Susan Stone]
Susan's figure began to appear on the screen.
Approaching Homelander, he proactively suggests seeking out Mind Control, and at a crucial moment, suppresses Starlight to protect Mind Control.
The conclusion is that the task's contribution accounted for 24%.
Susan was pleasantly surprised; she hadn't expected her to have the highest percentage.
Ron took a deep breath; he was all alone now.
[Reserve Champion: Ron Weasley]
This time, however, the focus wasn't on Ron, but rather on Ron's Venom.
Instead, it was William Billy Butcher, the Butcher, who poisoned the baby bottle. Ryan collapsed, and when he woke up, his expression changed drastically. The "Kiss of Death" was mentioned during the "Starlight" meeting.
Ron's heart pounded. Maybe... he wasn't negative, even...
[The conclusion is that the task's contribution accounts for 14%]
[Based on the above statistics...]
Although everyone already guessed which four it would be, their eyes remained glued to the screen.
[Champion: Loki Odin's son, Gem: 450]
[Champion: Erik Lehnsherr, Gem: 570]
[Champion: Susan Stone, Gem: 720]
[Champion: Ron Weasley, Gem: 420]
"That's fantastic!" Ralph exclaimed, raising his hands high and looking even happier Ron.
This brought Ron, who had been so overjoyed he was practically delirious, back to his senses, reminding him that three of his companions hadn't yet become Champion.
He coughed once, "Everyone should check out the [Trial Shop] instead."

"Merlin's Beard!" Ron was stunned by the contents of the shop. "The Magic Immortal World, the Rune Card World, the Starry World, the Mutant World, the Infinity Stones, Kamar-Taj... which is my current world!"
"The Trial Shop's goods encompass everything in the world we live in, experience, and indirectly experience!"
No one paid any attention to Ron's words.
The others were also deeply shocked by the contents.
"Thorforce." Loki's lips trembled. Ignoring the [God of Stories] who gave him a sense of familiarity, he looked at the price tag behind him. "Is this the reason? The reason I can't become king? Because Thor has the potential to become the strongest, Shendu."
Open the details page.
The characteristics of the Asgard royal family are passed down through generations, bound by blood ties: Buri — Bol — Odin — Thor.
Seeing this, Loki looked even more dejected.
He was just an ordinary descendant of the Frost Giant King, and could not compare to the noble and aloof descendants of the Asgard royal family at all.
Peter browsed through the list and then clicked on [Spider Totem Power].
The Spider Totem transmits power through the Web of Life and Destiny, giving rise to various superpowers based on arachnids, including Superman strength and the ability to adhere to walls, or even transforming into a humanoid spider monster.
Peter patted his chest, relieved that he hadn't turned into a spider monster.
