Loki Watched the Most Satisfying Episode

Bang!

Ben punched Tony in the face, sending him flying. Tony rolled several times on the ground like a tumbleweed in the desert before coming to a stop.

Knowing beforehand that Tony had injected him with the Extremis Virus, Ben used only about one-tenth of his strength in this punch, but even so, the power of the punch should not be underestimated.

The Little Broken Watch optimized Ben's genes, making Ben's potential greater than all other Spider-Man.

At least in its normal form, there is no second Spider-Man whose potential can be compared to Ben's. As for Cosmic Spider-Man or Leopardon's monster-fighting mech, that's another story.

Speaking of external forces, Ben also has Little Broken Watch.

Tony rolled around on the ground several times in a disheveled state, which immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the Sakaar audience.

Everyone raised their arms and cheered for Ben.

When they first saw Tony acting like he knew Ben well, they thought the game was going to fall through.

This won't do.

"Hacker!!"

"Hacker!!"

"Beat him to death!!"

"..."

Cheers and shouts of support continued unabated.

Ben responded appropriately to the enthusiasm of his people, raising his hands and turning around in front of them.

Tony got up.

He looked incredibly hot; his entire face was as red as charcoal burned by flames, to the point that his features were completely obscured.

Ben's punch sent half of Tony's face flying. Even if it was only one-tenth of the force, it was still close to ten tons. The fact that it didn't blow Tony's head off was already a testament to the enhancements from the Extremis Virus.

At that moment, the flames burned across Tony's face, slowly healing his cheek.

"Ben Parker!"

"Are you crazy?!"

He roared angrily.

Tony never dreamed that Ben would punch him in the face. Just seconds before, he was happy to see his savior, but who knew that this savior would almost kill him!

Because he trusted Ben, he didn't activate the exoskeleton's energy protection at all.

"Am I crazy?" Ben's hands fell to his sides, the chains binding his arms clattering to the ground as he dragged them along. "Tony Stark, this is Champion Challenge, don't try to get close to me here."

After saying that, Ben ignored him and charged forward, swinging the chain. He leaped dozens of meters in one step, and the chain in his hand made a terrifying "crack" sound, as astonishing as lightning.

Tony was already terrified just watching, and he quickly rolled to the ground to dodge the attack.

Snap!!

The chain struck the ground directly, creating a terrifying crack in the earth.

"Do you want to kill me?!"

Tony was met with a barrage of attacks from chains.

Bang bang bang!!!

In an instant, the earth resembled a criminal being tortured, whipped and covered in wounds.

Without a doubt, if someone were hit by Ben's chains, it wouldn't be a minor matter of a broken bone; the immense force of the swing would be enough to make the chains cut through anything like a blade.

Tony thought about the consequences of getting hit and felt like he might wet his pants.

I bet my whole body would explode like a watermelon!

"Wait, wait, Benny! Stop!" he pleaded, dodging frantically. "I don't want to fight you. Now is not the time for this. The earth is still—"

"Tony Stark," Ben interrupted him, "What happens to the Earth is none of my business, is it? But you, do you think the Champion Challenge is a joke?"

Tony was speechless. He remembered calling Ben "a nobody" on the mothership.

"You're too vengeful!" He lunged forward, Ben's chain swept across his head with a whoosh, the sharp wind making his scalp tingle.

Do I hold grudges?

Watch me teach you a lesson without using a whip!

"Tony Stark, stand at attention when you're about to be hit!" Ben sneered, increasing the force with which he swung the chain.

Instantly, a chain lashed out towards Tony's waist.

Clang!

A metallic clang rang out as Tony drew the Double-Edged Greatsword from his back, holding it like a shield in front of him to block Ben's attack.

"Wait a minute, Benny... I apologize for what I said before, but now is really not the time for us to fight."

He forcefully cleaved Ben's chains, then swung his broadsword in a circle, cutting down another chain in the process.

This was surprising; without Jarvis's assistance, Tony's kung fu was actually quite good, even managing to wield this unconventional double-edged sword.

This requires a bit of skill; otherwise, a knife like a bamboo dragonfly can easily cut you.

However, Tony could also sense Ben's immense power.

He was struggling immensely; his right hand was numb from the shock, and his left metal arm was also bearing the strain. A sharp pain shot through the connection point of the prosthetic arm in his shoulder, turning his face pale. Nevertheless, he persevered:

"... Ultron went berserk..."

"Clang!!"

Sparks flew.

"It's completely out of control! It's taken over the global network system and the people in the Galactic Plumbers! Its goal is to kill everyone!" Tony shouted.

But Ben seemed not to hear what he was saying at all and launched an attack without mercy.

As he attacked, he pushed Tony to the brink of defeat. Tony blocked and dodged, quickly finding himself in a situation with no way out.

"Bang!"

The chain struck the Gladiator Arena behind Tony, leaving a mark several centimeters long.

Tony was pressed tightly against the wall, with nowhere left to retreat. He could only glare angrily at Ben, whose black figure was still closing in, like a grim reaper.

He was already a little angry.

"Can't you understand what I'm saying? Earth is under threat!"

"This is not the time to be fooling around!"

"Who's being ridiculous?" Ben retorted. "Wasn't it you who Ultron, Tony Stark? The famous genius who thinks everyone else is an idiot. I remember everyone disagreed with letting Ultron take over the Earth, didn't they?"

"You're the one who's been stubborn and willful, and now you're accusing others of being unreasonable?"

"You treat Earth like your testing ground, and now you're trying to sabotage the Sakaar Champion Challenge. Do you think the world revolves around you?" Ben said softly. "Aren't you the one causing trouble?"

"Okay, I admit it, it was my fault."

Tony said with some difficulty that he was well aware of this in his heart, but saying it to someone in person was another matter entirely.

Fortunately... only Ben knows about this, he thought.

"I really am an incurable megalomaniac, a self-righteous idiot..."

"Alright!"

Ben swung the chains at him again, and Tony could only raise his blade to block. "Benny, now's really not the time for this. After we take care of Ultron, I'll do whatever you want with me..."

"I said, alright, Tony Stark," Ben's voice was clearly displeased, "Don't think that only your affairs are the most important. What happens to Earth is of no concern to the people of Sakaar. The Galactic Plumbers only decided to establish a branch on Earth because of me."

"You want the Galactic Plumbers's help to clean up your mess, yet you completely disregard the customs of Sakaar?"

Ultimately, your arrogance hasn't changed at all, has it?

Tony paused, only then noticing that the Sakaar citizens who had gathered around him were already furious.

That despicable fellow, wearing that repulsive armor of Angmo Asan is one thing, but he participated in the Champion Challenge and acted completely indifferent. It's utter contempt for all the past champions, and contempt for the greatest champion, Sakaar King!

This guy actually wants Sakaar's aid?

Let him die in the Gladiator Arena!

In an instant, Tony realized he had clearly messed up again.

Just as Ben said, his egoistic flaws haven't changed at all, and the danger to the earth is caused by his own actions, and has nothing to do with anyone else.

What he considers important may be completely unimportant to others.

He wants help but shows no respect for others. He used to speak rudely to the Galactic Plumbers and now he doesn't take other people's customs seriously.

"I see--"

He took a step forward, the blade of his broadsword pointed at Ben.

"In short, all I need to do is beat you, and win all the challenge matches, right?"

Deathflame were released, and the blade burned fiercely.

"That's more like it. I've wanted to beat you up for ages." Seeing Tony finally showing some fighting spirit, Ben laughed. With a wave of his arms, black chains coiled around his body like Serpent. Then, he crossed his arms, his watch glowed, and a huge black shadow appeared behind him.

The flaming blade came slashing down, Ben neither dodged nor avoided it. Instead, he crossed his arms upwards and blocked the blade.

The moment the blade clashed with the arm, it produced a deafening clang.

Diamondhead!

"Blocked it?"

Tony was taken aback.

Looking down, he saw a flash of green light, followed by a green crystal rising from the ground, piercing his chest like Long Spear.

Boom!!

The Crystal Spear struck Tony squarely in the right chest, piercing his body and pinning him firmly to the Gladiator Arena wall.

"Ah!"

Tony let out a painful howl, but instead of bleeding, his wound emitted an orange, burning light.

"What kind of ability is this?"

He felt the crystal looked familiar, but there was no time to think about it now. Enduring the pain, Tony cleaved the crystal with his sword and then forcefully pulled himself out of the remaining half of the crystal.

Upon landing, the enormous hole in his chest was immediately shocking to behold.

However, under the influence of the Extremis Virus, it began to heal quickly. Tony stomped his right foot hard on the ground, and instantly, the ground beneath his feet shattered.

The blade slashed at Ben again.

Ben was not afraid at all. He swung his right arm, and green crystals began to grow on his previously empty arm, instantly condensing into the shape of a blade.

Clang!!

Their weapons clashed, instantly sparking a dazzling burst of light.

However, Ben was stronger and directly reversed the situation, pushing Tony back. He swung the blade at Tony 180 degrees, throwing him from one end of the Gladiator Arena to the other.

"The ability to create crystals is fine; the crystal's hardness hasn't decreased, and the overall strength hasn't weakened either. Let's try something else next."

After confirming that the Diamondhead's abilities were working correctly, Ben began trying out other abilities.

This time, the fleeting afterimage behind him was replaced by XLR8.

"Dinosaur Kid?"

Tony, who had rolled hundreds of meters, had just recovered from the impact and hadn't even had time to stand up when his eyes caught a glimpse of the shadow flashing behind Ben.

If we're talking about which alien Tony Stark remembers most vividly, it's undoubtedly him.

Could there be some connection between Ben and XLR8?

"Benny, you--"

Boom!!!

Before Tony could finish speaking, he found himself slammed against the wall by an indistinct dark shadow.

In that instant, it was as if a black Flash had flashed before his eyes.

When he came to his senses, he had already been struck by Flash —the wall behind him was cracked, and through the black gaps in his fingers, Tony could see that the monster that had appeared before him across the distance in that instant was Ben himself.

Spider-Man simply couldn't possibly be that fast.

Unless it's that Velociraptor.

"That guy's also from the Galactic Plumbers... So you really are connected to him..."

"The speed hasn't slowed down, but the power has actually increased a bit. Is it because of my own strength?" Ben calculated and found that the increase in power wasn't particularly large, and in fact, it was much weaker than his untransformed self.

However, for a high-speed hero like XLR8, every tiny increase in strength in the base form will have a multiplied effect after being enhanced by speed.

It's fair to say that today's XLR8 can no longer rely solely on speed to deceive their opponents.

In this form, Ben is like A-Train; with just a light touch, he can instantly crush and kill some enemies with weak defenses.

Of course, this destructive power can be modulated under the combined force field of Spider-Man and XLR8.

"At its limit, it could probably unleash even more power than the Four Arms's fist, right?"

That's incredibly fast and powerful!

However, speaking of the Four Arms -Four Arms, Ben also wanted to know what its abilities would be like in this form.

"Next up is -- the Four Arms!"

"Another alien phantom?" Tony noticed this and recognized the phantom as the same one that had appeared on Earth before Sakaar King.

"Could it be that Ben invented a device that allows us to borrow the power of those aliens?" Tony's eyes lit up.

But the next moment, he found his legs being gripped by a tremendous force, and instantly, a bad premonition rose in Tony's heart.

"Wait, wait... Benny..."

"You know Tony, you've come all the way to the Gladiator Arena, how can you not try this?" Ben gave him a Hulk- esque, wicked smile, then started swinging Tony around and smashing him left and right.

"Ah!!!"

Loki: Awesome!!!
