Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

"The Grandmaster?" Tony remained wary, looking at this cosmic elder who held the lives of countless races in his hands. "Why were we teleported here?"

It was clear that only a few of them had been teleported here.

"Ha, I watched your match, it was...exciting? What did you think of the game?" The Grandmaster didn't answer the question, but instead asked in return.

He did ask, but his gaze remained fixed on Lin Yi, not sparing any attention to Tony and the others, as if the three of them were not worth diverting his attention.

Tony narrowed his eyes and also sensed the Grandmaster's attitude. He was afraid that this teleportation was mainly because of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi looked at Gao Tianzun in silence for a few seconds, then shrugged, his expression indifferent: "Not very good, even a bit boring."

This kind of core behavior has nothing to do with whether it's interesting or not. In those few seconds, Lin Yi's senses quickly swept across the entire planet Sakaar, but he didn't detect the source of the gaze. He also didn't feel like he was being spied on in this universe. It seems that the Celestial Race's main body is hiding quite well.

The Celestial Venerable's forehead twitched slightly uncontrollably, and his smile became somewhat distorted.

The two bronze-colored alien executives behind him gasped and took a step back without making a sound.

The last person to say that the Grandmaster's game was boring has now become the toilet paper dispenser next to the Grandmaster's toilet.

"Boring?" the Grandmaster repeated in disbelief. In that instant, he even subconsciously reached for the scepter at his waist.

"A game of speed, combat, and strategy, played on a planet as the stage and the home planet as the stakes. Isn't that exciting enough?"

His cheek twitched, and Gao Tianzun paced back and forth a couple of times. Lin Yi could tell that the "boring" comment seemed to have hit him pretty hard.

Lin Yi didn't want to argue with such a person about the core gameplay of a game where they were risking their home planet, so he simply shrugged again, offering no comment. He genuinely didn't find the game interesting, neither in terms of its content nor its gameplay.

"Oh! I understand!" The Celestial Venerable suddenly stopped and clapped his hands, looking at Lin Yi as if he had figured something out.

"Your strength would indeed be boring in the competitive stage."

"But that's okay, our final competition will all take place in space, you'll definitely find it fun!"

"I can tell you in advance where the final race will take place: it's a cosmic track spanning the entire galaxy, a total distance of 9,300 light-years!"

"And the race cars will be provided by me this time—race cars with a top speed of no more than 2,000 kilometers per hour!"

"What the hell?" Clint couldn't help but exclaim.

"How can a race car traveling at a speed of no more than 2,000 kilometers per hour, covering 9,300 light-years?"

The speed of light is close to 300,000 kilometers per second, which is 9,300 light-years. This means that even traveling at the speed of light would take 9,300 years.

The Grandmaster paused abruptly, a cold and violent glint flashing deep in his eyes. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Clint: "I don't like being interrupted."

Clint felt as if he had been locked onto by something, his whole body stiffened, his heart raced uncontrollably, and cold sweat poured down his back.

The Celestial Venerable withdrew his gaze and continued to explain to Lin Yi with great interest: "Of course, there will be speed-up points set up on the track. Each time a speed-up point is captured, the race car can travel a distance of one light-year."

"Moreover, this race will take place on a track that passes through the cores of countless stars, and even into the heart of a supernova about to explode."

"A large number of my little darlings will appear on the field in this competition. What you encountered before was only a small fraction of a small fraction!" As he spoke, the Grandmaster made a small hand gesture.

"How about it, is it interesting now?" The Celestial Venerable gestured animatedly as he spoke. The three-dimensional model of him in Lin Yi's mind had been initially established.

Passionate about games, disregarding life, indulging in amusement, and not accepting any negative comments or rebuttals.

Lin Yi maintained a calm and somewhat lazy expression: "So, what did you call me here for? Just to tell us about the game track details in advance?"

"Or do you want to personally verify whether I'm qualified to participate in the gladiatorial combat tournament?"

"Oh, of course not. I've seen your matches, so you certainly have the ability to participate in gladiatorial combat."

"Shall we... go inside and talk?" The Grandmaster made an inviting gesture.

Lin Yi did not refuse, and was ready to see what kind of fancy scheme this old guy had prepared.

The Celestial Venerable led the group into a brightly lit room, which wasn't far from the platform and offered a wide view of the outside world. The room had no glass, yet it blocked out the noise from outside.

The group sat facing each other. A female alien with a bronze complexion brought over some tea and fruit. Lin Yi glanced at it but didn't intend to try any.

"Let's get straight to the point and tell us why you've called us here."

Gao Tianzun's brow twitched again. Lin Yi's indifferent and disrespectful attitude made him unhappy, and his emotions even showed on his face uncontrollably.

"Alright, since Mr. Lin Yi puts it that way, then I'll get straight to the point." He wasn't going to beat around the bush anymore, waving his hand to dismiss the maid, leaving only the two executives behind him.

"I know Mr. Lin Yi has a special gemstone. Isn't that right?"

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes at those words.

He had considered countless possibilities of how the Celestial Venerable might invite him, but his words still exceeded his expectations.

His goal was the jewels?

Tony and the others looked at Lin Yi, and seeing that he did not immediately refute, they understood the general idea.

"That gem isn't of much use to Mr. Lin Yi, but I'm very interested in it. How about we make a deal?" the Celestial Venerable continued.

"Tell me about it?"

"Here's the thing, how about we make a trade? Mr. Lin Yi can choose any of the treasures I have here, and I can also ensure that Blue Star withdraws from this competition unscathed. You won't have to participate in the remaining matches, and Blue Star won't even appear in future matches."

Upon hearing this, Tony and his two companions exchanged glances. None of them showed any joy; instead, they all sensed a sense of foreboding.

The Celestial Venerable stretched out his hand, and light appeared on his palm. Items appeared out of thin air and changed shape.

"I have some of the rarest things in the entire universe here."

"The armor of the ancient Celestials, secret weapons born at the beginning of the universe, and primordial chaos energy; even the Infinity Stones, I have many of them."

As he spoke, the Grandmaster produced a number of Infinity Stones in his hand, causing the three people, except for Lin Yi, to widen their eyes in astonishment.

"Mr. Lin Yi can choose any three items from these. Of course, I have one small request: after the transaction is completed, Mr. Lin Yi should leave this universe and never come back."

"If Mr. Lin Yi has any life-bearing planets that he likes, he can choose any one of them as a gift for my friends in the distant universe."

Silence fell over the room, except for the Grandmaster who continued to ramble on.

Seeing that Lin Yi remained silent, the Celestial Venerable grew impatient. He withdrew the light from his hand and tentatively asked, "Mr. Lin Yi, is there nothing you like?"

"That's alright, you can tell me whatever you want, and I can find it for you as long as it exists in our universe."
