Chapter 211 Hawking's Backroom Dealings (Second Update)

"First of all, we can't let the really strong ones meet first, otherwise there won't be any interesting points later on."

Inside the wooden tower's room, Hawking first selected Thor, Loki, Black Marvel, and Hulk from the list of twenty-six.

Needless to say, Black Marvel and Thor are strong. Loki in the main universe is a bit weak, but Loki in this universe, who specializes in magic, is as powerful as Thor.

If Hulk were to fight on his own, he would be at a disadvantage in this kind of rule-bound arena. However, with Banner's intelligence and the added bonus of becoming stronger the angrier he gets, he is definitely a top-tier fighter.

"Secondly, eliminate as many other people as possible first, and then retain as many of your own company employees as possible."

It would be embarrassing for the organizer if, after just one round, the company's staff were all gone.

"In the end, it depends on my mood. I'll watch whoever I want to play, it's all about having fun."

Ten minutes later, he finally finished arranging the first round of matchups.

Even he couldn't be sure which of the top 26 would advance, except for a few specific individuals.

After all, this is not a life-or-death battle, but a contest in the arena.

The condition for victory is not to kill the opponent, but simply to knock the opponent down for ten seconds and leave the ring.

Therefore, it's not necessarily true that whoever is stronger will advance.

Like Natasha, Black Widow from S.H.I.E.L.D., she encountered many capable opponents, but in the end, they all fell to her.

Some were caught off guard by her beauty, some were tricked out of the ring by her skills during the fight, and others were drawn by her various hidden high-tech weapons.

Superpowered individuals and martial artists are different. Martial artists undergo rigorous training and possess a strong will, while most superpowered individuals are ordinary people who suddenly gain abilities.

"Susan, this is the match list for the first round."

After preparing the match-up list, Hawking called Susan over and asked her to take the list and announce it, saying that it was the result of a machine-selected draw.

Susan was quite unsettled the moment she saw the list.

"How did you manage to get us all together?"

"I did this to ensure that our own people had a chance to advance, so I grouped most of the company's contestants together."

This way, the audience won't feel like there's any behind-the-scenes manipulation, and we can guarantee that no matter how strong the other contestants are, at least half of them will advance to the next round.

Currently, of the twenty-six people nominally belonging to our company, there are thirteen, accounting for half of the total number of employees.

At least six or seven players can advance after one round.

However, if the company's thirteen employees were to compete against thirteen other employees, it would be impossible to predict how many would ultimately advance.

If you're unlucky, you might only get two or three.

Hawking explained with a smile.

Susan was taken aback by what she heard:

"Boss, why do you have so little faith in our people?"

As the head of the company, Susan knew how powerful these superheroes were; so far, there were very few missions they couldn't complete.

Hawking shook his head:

"You need to know that there are always people more capable than you, and the world is not as simple as you think. And the contestants today are not ordinary people either."

"Are they not ordinary people?"

Susan looked puzzled.

Seeing this, Hawking explained:

"You know all five people from S.H.I.E.L.D., and you know Iron Man Tony Stark. As for the remaining six, they are not some older cosplay enthusiasts, but true gods from the mythical realm of Asgard."

As Susan was a manager at the company, he felt it was better to tell her many things in advance.

Otherwise, if something happens, it will be chaotic and difficult to deal with.

"What? God!"

Susan's eyes widened on the spot:

"You mean that Thor really is Thor, Loki really is Loki, the God of Mischief, and the Goddess of War and the Warrior Three are all real?"

"It's all true. They come from the realm of Asgard, and one or two of them are over a thousand years old."

However, you don't need to find it too hard to understand. You can think of them as aliens, except that they have a much longer lifespan than humans, have visited Earth before, and have helped humans.

That's why humans recorded it as if it were a deity.

As you saw, those guys who look a bit dim-witted aren't really omnipotent gods.

Seeing that Susan's worldview had also collapsed, Hawking revealed the truth.

"That's true, especially that Thor with the hammer. He doesn't seem very smart. It seems these gods aren't what we imagined."

Upon hearing Hawking's words, Susan nodded in agreement.

However, she soon became a little worried:

"and you."

"Don't worry, he's not ready yet. It would be more like it if his father, Odin, came."

Before Susan could finish speaking, Hawking already knew what she was worried about.

He didn't care about Thor and Loki; in all of Asgard, only Odin and Hela, the former owner of Thor's hammer who was sealed away, were truly powerful.

Meanwhile, the 26 finalists were also busy.

Namor the Sea King quietly left the island and dived into the sea. Today's opponent was just as he had expected: not very strong, and human technology was far behind that of Atlantis.

However, he discovered that some of the contestants in other arenas were stronger than he had expected, which put him under considerable pressure.

Just in case, he decided to go to the palace to retrieve his weapon, the vibranium spear, and defeat the other contestants in the finals to truly test just how strong the strongest hero really is.

Meanwhile, the five newly promoted members of S.H.I.E.L.D. were holding a strategic meeting in a room.

"The information about all the superheroes in League of Legends is here. You've fought together before and know them well."

What I want you to pay special attention to are those guys who claim to be from the divine realm. If they're true, they could be a real problem for you!

Nick Fury said with a somewhat serious expression.

Asgard, the realm of the gods, is an extremely powerful and mysterious race in the universe. He had heard the Skrulls describe them, and they were not just figures from mythology.

However, he is still unsure whether those six people are real.

However, even after activating all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence networks, he still couldn't find any information about the six people; they seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

Unlike the somber atmosphere on the S.H.I.E.L.D. side, the Asgardian Six were much more relaxed. They didn't care about anything else; eating meat and drinking alcohol were their style.

They were also quite confident and did not believe they would lose to ordinary people.

Loki was the only exception, but he was also happy because he saw hope—the hope that Thor would be defeated and that his plan would succeed.

Finally, there's Tony Stark, who's currently having sex with one of the superhumans he defeated earlier in the day.
