He was selling gashapon toys in Marvel Studios, and at the beginning, Tony turned into Kuuga.

"Who are you?"

Darkseid shifted his gaze from the superheroes to the mortal who had suddenly appeared.

"Me? Your memory is a bit bad."

Li Ang tossed aside the megaphone, a professional smile on his face.

"A gashapon merchant who was passing by."

Li Ang snapped his fingers.

A cold, electronic voice simultaneously rang in the ears of all the superheroes.

[Warning: Your gacha cheat trial period has expired. Please renew your subscription in time.]

If you do not renew your subscription, the system will reclaim all your capabilities in one minute.

Tony was stunned.

He felt the pain in his right arm subsiding, but it was followed by a deeper sense of weakness.

The power of Kamen Rider is draining from his body.

The golden light emanating from Banner's body completely extinguished.

Thor felt the Rumble-Rumble Fruit within him become dormant.

The light emanating from Steve and Wayne was visibly fading, and Tiga and Ginga's bodies were beginning to become transparent.

"Li Ang! You bastard!" Tony roared into the communication channel.

"Don't rush, Mr. Stark," Leon's voice came leisurely. "I'm just helping you move to the next stage."

"What stage?"

"The stage of desperate struggle."

Li Ang's voice disappeared, but the system's countdown was still ticking in everyone's ears.

【59......58......57......】

Fine cracks began to appear on the surface of Tony's Kamen Rider Stark armor, and the dark golden luster was fading.

He could feel the pulse of the Yamadam Spirit Stone weakening, and that abundant bio-energy was being drained away.

"You swindler!"

Tony cursed into the comms channel and then shut up.

Because he realized something.

Li Ang is forcing them to play with real teamwork.

Who is Tony Stark?

He understood the logic in less than a second: if he simply wanted to see them die, Li Ang would never have appeared in that cave in the first place.

"Listen up, everyone." Tony's voice cut across the entire channel, speaking rapidly. "He's not kidding, our abilities are indeed fading."

"What should we do?" Quill's voice was filled with panic.

"Let me finish."

Tony's brain was working at high speed, while Jarvis was simultaneously performing data analysis.

What are Darkseid's weaknesses?

Omega core.

The dark red sphere on his chest was the source of all his power.

Banner's Buddhist power can purify Omega energy, Clark's solar core furnace can repel his rays, Thor's lightning can interfere with energy conduction...

These abilities are not additive, but multiplicative.

If the order is correct, one plus one will not equal two, but one hundred.

"I have a plan," Tony's voice regained its familiar confidence, "but it requires everyone to risk their lives."

【47......46......45......】

"Get to the point first." Wayne's voice came through the communicator, and Galaxy Lugiel's body had begun to become semi-transparent.

"Clark," Tony called Superman's name, "what's the highest temperature your solar core furnace can reach in self-circulation mode?"

Clark flew up from the giant crater in the ground, his blue hair somewhat dulled, but his eyes regained their sharpness.

"Theoretically there is no upper limit, but if I overclock it without control, I will burn out myself."

"How long will it take to burn through his outer defenses?"

"If it's close-quarters combat, it won't last more than two minutes."

"Too long," Tony objected. "You won't last two minutes; he'll interrupt you before you burn him through."

"Unless..." Clark's tone changed, "someone helps me hold him down."

【38......37......36......】

"Hold Darkseid down?" Rocket yelled into the channel. "What kind of joke are you guys talking about?"

"That guy could knock Superman down with one punch, who's going to hold him down? Even if you added up the entire planet..."

"I'll do it."

Banner's voice broke in.

Although the golden Buddhist light emanating from his body had dimmed considerably, his eyes remained remarkably calm.

"With the Super Saiyan form combined with the Hulk's abilities, I can expand to over 100 meters in size. Add to that the golden body technique from the Fahai template, and I can withstand three to five of his punches."

"Three punches will suffice," Tony replied. "What Clark needs isn't two minutes, but a starting point."

"Banner held him down, and Clark pressed himself against him to activate the Forge Overclocking."

"Once his outer defenses are burned down, I will add a cluster of miniature black holes to tear open the melted parts along with the energy channels of the Omega core."

"And then?" Steve asked.

"Then you lend that beam of light to Wayne, and let him blast it in with a cross beam."

Tiga's red alert was still flashing, but Steve's voice showed no hesitation.

"Understood."

【28......27......26......】

Darkseid was in no hurry; in his view, the communication between these insects was meaningless.

The longer you struggle, the more pathetic your death will be.

"There's another problem," Wayne's voice was unnaturally calm, "When Banner holds him down, he fights back."

"Even if Banner can withstand three punches, he'll be crippled after those three punches."

"So people need to share the burden of the damage," Tony said.

"I'll do it," Frank said, his voice devoid of emotion.

"Eight Gates Formation - Death Gate".

"Once activated, I can briefly achieve a physical attack frequency close to the speed of light. Although the damage I deal to him is insufficient, it is enough to disrupt the direction of his punches."

"If the door to death opens, you're finished," Tony warned.

"I have Senzu Beans." Frank's tone was almost like ordering takeout. "Anyway, it's not like it's the first time I've opened one."

【19......18......17......】

"That's settled then." Tony gave the final confirmation. "Order: Frank opens the door, Banner uses his golden body to grab, Clark uses his close-range overclocking, I tear through the defenses, Steve and Wayne finish off the rest."

"The time window is a maximum of fifteen seconds."

"If we can't break through his defenses within fifteen seconds, we'll all die together."

The channel went silent.

"That's enough," Clark said.

On his chest, the miniature star began to spin at a visible speed.

Golden-blue light seeped from every pore of his body, growing brighter and brighter.

The solar core furnace has been unrestricted.

Clark's skin turned a translucent incandescent white, and his hair turned from blue to white.

His entire outline began to blur, as the heat he emitted caused strong refraction of the surrounding air.

The temperature within a 300-meter radius instantly soared by 1,000 degrees.

"Good heavens..." Quill wiped his sweat from a distance, "Is he trying to turn into the sun?"

【10......9......8......】

"Hulk, unleash your fury!"

Banner took a deep breath, his face gradually contorting into a grimace.

Golden flames reignited on his body, this time not in a defensive stance, but as a full-force release.

His body was expanding, ten meters, twenty meters, fifty meters, eighty meters...

A golden giant, hundreds of meters tall, stands in the sky.

His brocade robe swelled as it went, fluttering in the night wind.

With hands clasped together, eyes lowered, and a compassionate yet solemn expression, he stood with his head bowed.

A 100-meter-tall golden Buddha statue.

"Namo!"

Banner's voice came from the golden giant's mouth, carrying a resonance that penetrated the soul.

【3......2......1......】

The system countdown has reached zero.

But nothing happened.

It has no ability to disappear, and no power to be taken back.

The so-called "expiration of the trial period" is just a psychological effect.

Li Ang sat back down on the recliner on the platform and pulled out a new bucket of popcorn from the side.

"These guys, we really need to push them a bit."
