Dragon Ball Arrives in Marvel

Chapter 569 Thanos's Test (Happy 520 everyone!)

the other side.

Coulson's dream team also arrived at the airport in Ireland, and the entire team began their journey toward the church that Elliott Randolph had mentioned.

Ward, standing beside Elliott Randolph, asked:
"Is the effect of that scepter permanent?"

Elliott Randolph looked at Ward and said:

"Your strength will gradually fade, and then you will feel exhausted and need sleep."

Ward continued to ask:

"What other uses does it have?"

Elliott Randolph looked at Ward and said:

"You mean that dark, unbearable pain in your abdomen, and that rage in your chest that makes you feel like your heart is going to explode?"

Ward nodded, and Elliott Randolph continued:

"The impact on people is even worse, but it will subside in a few decades."

Upon hearing this answer, Ward was speechless and could only say:
"pretty good."

He's already thirty years old, and in a few decades he'll be nearing the end of his life. Who knows if the decades Asgard mentioned are seventy or eighty years, unless he gets the chance to be injected with the super-soldier serum...

Ward slammed the suitcase shut in frustration and walked toward the car.

Seeing this, Donnie Gill looked at Coulson and said:
Do you think Ward's condition is suitable for fieldwork?

"He's a bit out of sorts."

Coulson glanced at Ward as he got into the car and said:
"But he also knows he's fine."

"Gentlemen, let's set off!"

······
Donnie Gill, sitting in the car, looked at Coulson in the passenger seat and said:
"Coulson, hand over this scepter that can be used to create a superhuman. In return, can our achievements be exchanged for a new potion?"

"Chen Haoran is quite the big name outside; I've heard his strength has improved a lot."

Coulson was not surprised to hear Donnie Gill's words. He had applied to the director last time, but it was not approved because his merits were not enough.

"I need to apply to the director so that it can be passed down as a 084 item, which is quite valuable."

"But I'm not sure what it will bring to our team."

Donnie Gill nodded:

"I hope for a good outcome."

"The emergence of a large number of superhumans has caused our opponents to also begin to change from ordinary people to superhumans."

Coulson nodded:
"I will ask the director to give it serious consideration."

······
Soon after nightfall, Elliott Randolph, along with Donnie Gill and others, arrived outside the church where he kept the third scepter.

Pushing open the church doors, Elliott Randolph smiled and said:

"It's been a while since I've been here, I don't know..."

Elliott Randolph looked at the data laid out on the table and quickly walked over to it.

Yes, it's right here, still here.

The group followed Elliott Randolph to the book, which was now open, revealing a page with a portrait that resembled that of a saint.

Elliott Randolph laughed:
"The nose isn't drawn very realistically, but..."

Coulson glanced at it and asked curiously:
"is that you?"

Elliott Randolph nodded and said:

"Yes, they treat me like a saint."

Ward directly retorted:
"They're idiots."

Where is the cane?

Elliott Randolph pointed upstairs and said with a smile:

"upstairs."

The group followed Elliott Randolph upstairs. Donnie Gill looked at Coulson and said:
"Is that the normal Ward, or the berserk Ward?"

"I can't tell."

Donnie Gill glanced around and asked curiously:
"It's so quiet. Are there no guards on duty at night?"

Elliott Randolph began to answer:

"Otherwise, how could I entrust the secret to them with peace of mind?"

"They swore an oath of silence."

As they were talking, Elliott Randolph opened the place where the scepter was hidden, only to find that the contents had already disappeared.

Just then, Jacob emerged from a nearby doorway, carrying a cane, and loudly proclaimed:
"But if you force them to tell, they will tell on you."

As he spoke, Jacob arrived in front of Elliott Randolph and instantly plunged his scepter into Randolph's chest.

"If you want to defeat God, you have to become God."

Jacob plunged one end of the scepter into Elliott Randolph's chest, while holding the other end in his other hand and looking warily at the crowd.

Donnie Giles instantly unleashed a stream of icy energy, attacking his opponent.

As the cold front approached, Jacob immediately flew off the second floor of the church and crashed to the ground below. Donnie Gilby immediately followed suit and jumped down as well.

The people on the second floor were stunned to see the injured Elliot Randolph. They hadn't expected such a thing to happen. This berserker from Asgard had actually been ambushed by the enemy with his own weapon.

Ward stepped forward, looked at the half-scepter stuck in his chest, and grabbed it.

Then I saw red light shining on the scepter, and painful memories resurfaced in my mind.

"Ah~"

Despite the pain, Ward pulled out the scepter with a roar.

"Immediately provide medical assistance!"

······
On the other side, Jacob fell to the first floor, smashing the table in the church below.

Jacob rose up to fight back, but he was no match for Donny Giles.

Even with the power of the scepter, which gave Jacob, an ordinary man, several tons of strength, he was still no match for Doni Gil, who had undergone special training.

The gap between the two sides was huge. Jacob couldn't react to Doni Gil's attack at all and was quickly frozen into an ice sculpture, his scepter falling to the side.

Looking at the fallen scepter, Donnie Gill thought for a moment, then reached out to pick it up.

······
On the second floor, after Ward pulled out the scepter, Simmons shouted:
“He’s not from Earth, I have no idea how to help him.”

Ward said, "He's dying."

Fitz said, "We know, but Simmons doesn't understand his body structure, and I don't..."

Ward glanced at it and said:
"Treat him like a human being and try to save him."

Coulson then spoke up:
"I've heard that their power comes from their hearts, let's give it a try."

Despite his discomfort, Simmons placed his hand in the other person's chest and began performing resuscitation by squeezing the heart.

Otto Randolph soon regained consciousness as his heart resumed supplying blood.

"Am I dead?"

Coulson laughed and said, "Obviously not."

Fitz asked in surprise:
"They actually survived! That's an unbelievable life force."

······
At that moment, Donnie Gill reached out and grasped the scepter. The next second, the scepter glowed red, and Donnie Gill's expression turned ferocious. A flood of memories surged into his mind—painful recollections of the past, all of them resurfacing.

Just then, the church doors were pushed open, and a large group of Jacob's men rushed in, each of them having been blessed with a scepter.

Donnie Giles looked at the crowd rushing in and said:
"Let you also feel the power of the scepter."

“Uh…ah!”

The next second, the entire first floor of the church was like a frozen world, and all the enemies turned into ice sculptures.

······
the other side.

With the combined efforts of Capsule Corporation, Red Ribbon Group, and Vanke Industry, news of the inaugural World Martial Arts Tournament, centered in New York, spread far and wide.

At first, not everyone paid much attention, but when those who were interested discovered that the symbol of the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament was actually a blue dragon, with a dragon pearl coiled in a circle in its claws, and the words "World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament" written in large characters in the middle.

As soon as the icon appeared, everyone who knew about Dragon Ball immediately became serious.

The first call Smith Doyle received in his office was from Tony Stark.

"Hey buddy, what's the logo of the World Martial Arts Tournament, and the prize for the champion?"

Smith Doyle said:
"That's right, it's exactly what you think."

"The Dragon Ball battle has been cancelled; from now on, it will be the World Martial Arts Tournament."

"As for the champion's reward, it naturally includes the right to make a wish."

Upon hearing Smith Doyle's affirmative answer, Tony Stark laughed:
"Buddy, those guys who speculate on stones are probably going to lose their shirts."

"Once everyone who collects Dragon Balls finds out, they'll probably be worthless again."

Smith Doyle shrugged and said:
"Then there's nothing I can do, I don't speculate on stones."

Tony Stark said with a smile:

“After I made my last wish, I cleared out several warehouses full of stones.”

During the last Dragon Ball battle, Tony knew it was the last one, and he even witnessed the Dragon Balls being retrieved by Smith Doyle instead of flying away.

Upon returning, he instructed Little Chili to sell the round stones from several warehouses, raising a large sum of money that recouped the money he had spent collecting Dragon Balls, plus some.

······
the other side.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Trident Tower.

Pierce and Nick Fury met, and Pierce began by saying:
"Fury, what do you think of the World Martial Arts Tournament that Smith Doyle organized?"

Nick Fury looked at the promotional image on the screen and said:
"I don't care about the World Martial Arts Tournament, but I do care about the logo on it and the reasonable wish for the champion to receive a reward."

Nick Fury zoomed in on the World Martial Arts Tournament logo, especially the dragon ball on the dragon claw, and pointed to the dragon ball, saying:
"I think the wish he's promoting is definitely not the kind that ordinary people think is a wish that can be fulfilled with the help of three major corporations, but rather a wish granted by a dragon."

Pierce nodded:
"If that's the case, then will the Dragon Ball battle still exist?"

Can the Dragon Balls still be collected?

Nick Fury took out his phone and said:
"Then let's see what our Inspector General has to say."

Nick Fury quickly dialed Smith Doyle's number:

"Chief Inspector, I have some questions I'd like to ask you about regarding the World Martial Arts Tournament and the Dragon Ball competition."

"Good, good, good."

"I see."

"Thank you, thank you for giving everyone this opportunity."

As soon as the call ended, Nick Fury looked at Pierce and said:
"The Dragon Ball battle is history and will not be held again."

"The only way to qualify for making a wish is to win the World Martial Arts Tournament."

"The good news is that all extraordinary individuals can participate and compete for the championship."

"The bad news is that all the extraordinary individuals who sign up will be your opponents."

Pierce nodded, looking at the Dragon Balls in the Dragon Ball series, and said:
"Nick Fury, you probably haven't acquired many round stones."

Nick Fury's face stiffened, and he slowly said:

"I'll have someone dump the shares and sell them off immediately; hopefully, it's not too late."

······
the other side.

A man arrived at Thanos's temple: Ronan the Accuser.

Thanos looked at the man in front of him and said:
"You brat, the only thing I didn't handle properly was you."

"Your trivial matters are so boring, you're like a brat."

Hearing Thanos call him a brat or a kid, Ronan was filled with rage but dared not show it in the slightest.

Thanos continued:

"You have once again driven my beloved daughter, Gamora, apart."

Nebula, standing to the side, looked somewhat helpless upon hearing this name, and even shook her head.

“I will keep our promise, Creeman.”

"However, I have a task for you."

"An item called the Dragon Balls has appeared on Earth, and there are seven of them in total."

"I need you to bring it to me."

"If you come empty-handed again, I'll make sure your blood is splattered all over the walls right here."

Nebula then finished repairing her mechanical arm, stood up, and said:

"Thank you, Father, that sounds fair."

"I'll go find the Spirit Orb, Ronan, you'll be in charge of the Dragon Balls."

After watching Nebula leave, Ronan glanced at Thanos and then followed Nebula out.

Thanos watched the two leave and nodded.

The task of collecting the Spheres was originally entrusted to Ronan the Accuser, but due to the reminder of death, Thanos decided to send Ronan to Earth to collect the Dragon Balls.

He also wanted to use Ronan to see just how deep the waters of the earth really are.

The news of the convergence of the Nine Realms and the destruction of the Dark Elves had already reached Thanos's ears.

······
the other side.

The Red Ribbon Group meeting room.

The members of The Boys gathered together, and T'Challa asked:
"Captain, can we also participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament?"

Selena looked at everyone and then spoke:
"Anyone is welcome to participate if they are interested."

Chen Haoran swallowed hard, then asked:
"Is that reasonable wish referring to the Dragon Balls?"

Celine nodded:

"correct."

"Everyone is familiar with the competition rules and registration requirements, and the Red Ribbon Group is one of the organizers."

"If any of you are interested, you may sign up."

"However, you are all members of the Black Robe Guard. If you are easily eliminated and fail to even make it to the top eight, you will lose face. Don't blame me for not giving you a heads-up."

When Selena mentioned the quarterfinals, Wesley and Alexei, among those present, both shook their heads.

With such a big commotion this time, it won't be easy to get into the top eight. It would be really embarrassing if we didn't make it out of the region.
