Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Chapter 95: Planning and Preparing for the Competition

Strange finally came through with something reliable, bringing in a powerful figure. If he gets angry and leaves, there'll be no reasoning with him.

"Probably one or two tenths," Lin Yi recalled the strength of the superhard alloy.

If a meter-thick alloy can be deformed like this, it is estimated that it would take less than 10% of the force to tear apart an ultra-hard alloy about 30 centimeters thick, which is the outer armor of a regular main warship.

However, Lin Yi's statement was somewhat conservative; this was only the intensity under normal conditions.

"...Your attack power is very strong. Do you have any other abilities? How about your defense? Jarvis just said that you have an unknown force field on you. You should also have a very strong defense, right?" Tony asked again.

Forces are reciprocal; if one's defenses are weak, Lin Yi's punch will also injure him.

"It's alright, at least I can take that punch from me head-on without getting hurt," Lin Yi said. "As for other abilities... I can fly, and I also have some energy attack methods, but generally they won't be stronger than physical attacks."

"As for magic, I know a little too." Lin Yi glanced at Scarface Strange: "Like Strange, I'm a Vishantian magic user."

"As for the strength of these abilities..." Lin Yi felt it was difficult to give a specific description, "I can catch up with that piece of super-hard alloy that we just hit right now and bring it back."

"You can fly in space at speeds exceeding 300 times the speed of sound?" Tony frowned.

"Not only that, but also the atmosphere."

Flight conditions in the atmosphere are very different from those in a vacuum; air resistance will greatly reduce flight speed.

Of course, Lin Yi thought it would be more convenient to just open a portal.

Tony gasped, feeling a buzzing in his head. He realized that the people Strange had brought this time could no longer be considered human.

"If you're really as strong as you say, then I think it's no problem for us to have a gladiator-style fighting match."

Tony showed three images, saying, "These are the three teams with the best chance of winning. What do you think their odds are against them?"

Three scenes, three races: humanoid, semi-transparent energy beings emitting a faint glow; the salamander race Tony introduced earlier; and silicon-based life forms with various shapes, some beast-like and some humanoid.

Lin Yi frowned and watched for a while, while Steve tightened his grip on her hand. The others remained silent, afraid of disturbing Lin Yi.

"Based on their current strength, dealing with them shouldn't be difficult," Lin Yi said, pointing to the screen.

"However, it's clear that these three races didn't exert much effort. Is there no more combat data available?"

Tony shook his head: "The battle hasn't reached the crucial moment yet, and everyone is holding back a lot, but what you said is enough."

"In that case, I suggest that Lin Yi and Strange form a two-person team and try participating in the gladiatorial combat..."

"Strange's magic can provide assistance, while we continue to participate in the race. Of course, we still need to discuss the details. How about it?" Tony gave a general direction.

"I was just about to ask, didn't the selection rounds already end? Can we directly participate in the fighting rounds?" Lin Yi asked.

Tony nodded: "The Grandmaster has a really weird sense of humor. He doesn't mind if someone joins the game midway, as long as you're strong enough and the game is entertaining enough."

"The Grandmaster is the rules of the game, so as long as he agrees, it's fine." As he said this, Tony's eyes dimmed slightly. Countless life forms competed and fought, just to entertain the Grandmaster.

After calming himself down, Tony took a deep breath and continued, "I don't think he had any reason to disagree with your punch, and according to our intelligence, other participating races have done the same thing before."

"I see," Lin Yi nodded, indicating that she understood.

"So, since you came with Strange, it means you agree to help us participate in the competition, right?"

"As for the reward... you can choose any technology I can provide. Even if you win in the end, if you come in first place, we'll only take one planet, and the other two are yours. If you come in second or third place, we'll give up the planets, and you can take them all. Of course, you might not be able to take them with you, so we can temporarily hold them for you." Tony's eyes flashed with a hint of calculation.

They seem generous, but surely they'd have to give some kickbacks for managing things on behalf of others.

He doesn't have any grand ideals about abandoning life on a planet or liberating all races. Firstly, he doesn't have the ability, and secondly, he's already doing well enough to take care of Blue Star; didn't he see that huge hole in Black Continent?

Lin Yi remained silent. Participating in the game was not his ultimate goal; he came here to deal with the two entities that were the source of the vision.

Based on current speculation, the two entities that perceive vision are definitely related to the Grandmaster, or at least they have a cooperative relationship. The fact that no cosmic virus has broken out in this universe despite it being under the Grandmaster's control is sufficient evidence that they are connected.

And what about that special star mentioned by the Time Management Bureau? How do we obtain it? Could this be the Grandmaster's mysterious reward?

Regardless, getting to know the Grandmaster through the game is a safer plan for now.

"Alright, regarding the mysterious reward given by the Grandmaster, if it's in the form of technology, we can share it. If it's something else tangible, we can discuss that later. Don't worry, you won't suffer any losses."

Lin Yi remained silent, leading Tony to assume he was calculating the gains and losses.

Given the current crisis facing Earth, Tony would have agreed to give away all the rewards. However, he wanted to try and fight for what he could, since Lin Yi didn't belong to this universe and would just take the rewards and leave, while they still needed to survive in the universe.

"We can talk about rewards and compensation later. I'm thinking about something," Lin Yi replied. He wasn't particularly interested in planetary rewards. If he wanted, finding a few planets with life in the universe and becoming the ruler of them wouldn't be too difficult.

"What's the problem?"

Can one person participate in two competitions?

Tony paused, his eyes flickering as he looked at Lin Yi: "You mean...?"

"That's right," Lin Yi replied. "If possible, I'll participate in both racing and gladiator combat."

As for cognitive fraud, forget it, you'd probably need a super brain to win, but Lin Yi doesn't want to use his brain; he still prefers the feeling of punches landing on the flesh.

Tony's old face beamed with joy.

"Of course! If you're sure, I'll submit your name right away. There will be a speed race in three days, followed by three final gladiatorial battles a week later to select the top 19!"

"However, since I'll need to participate in more gladiator battles, I might need to meet with the Grandmaster's Game Executor. Is that alright?"

The Celestial Venerable is not someone you can see whenever you want; some trivial matters are handled by special executors.

Lin Yi nodded slightly: "Okay, sign up."
