Chapter 219

Tony was sleeping when he appeared in the familiar dark space.

Just like in the previous event, a large board appeared between the two doors.

On this board, there were several inductive letters.

(The second part of the event will begin; it will be a battle royale mode, so you will have to eliminate the other people, everyone inside is your enemy, although do not worry because death inside the event is not real death.)

(Inside the event, there will still be opportunities for you to become stronger, but there are also dangers besides the other participants.)

(Any excessive behavior within the event will be punished.)

Tony looked at the notices before walking directly towards one of the doors.

Everything darkened, and when he could see again, he was in the middle of a forest.

"Jarvis?" said Tony.

Suddenly, he felt something strange in his stomach when something touched his mouth.

Opening his mouth, he felt something like a toothpick; when he took the toothpick, it immediately seemed to spread through his hand and down his forearm.

Fortunately, he didn't feel anything too unpleasant, and all his nanorobots came out.

His whole body was covered by a thin layer of nanorobots; in his chest was something like a reactor.

On his head was a simple helmet in the style of his armor, only it was much thicker than the rest of his suit.

The whole suit was black, not wanting to be recognized exactly.

"Scan the surroundings, Jarvis," said Tony as he looked at his body.

Although he didn't feel as confident as with his armors, this would be better than nothing; anyway, he wouldn't really die.

"Sir, I really can't differentiate this from reality; everything looks exactly the same as on Earth," said Jarvis.

"I see, then let's explore a bit," said Tony as he checked his status.

Anthony Stark

Species: Human

Magic: 500

Strength: 20

Agility: 14

Intelligence: 10

As Tony walked through the forest, Jarvis constantly scanned the surroundings.

"Sir, I found an unusual source of magic at 230 meters," said Jarvis, pointing it out to Tony in the interface.

"Let's go see," said Tony nodding before walking in that direction.

Although his suit had flight capabilities, it's better to save energy.

As he walked, he noticed that Cortana had really done a good job; the diversity of flora and fauna was really good, and he couldn't really say it wasn't reality.

He soon arrived at the marked spot where he saw a small shoot with four thumb-sized fruits.

Bending down, he picked them up and put them in his hand.

"Tell me, Jarvis, do you think they're edible?" Tony asked jokingly.

"It wouldn't make much sense if they weren't," said Jarvis.

"Well, worst case scenario, I'll just be kicked out," said Tony before putting one of the fruits in his mouth and biting it.

Immediately, the fruit started to dissolve in his mouth as a quite pleasant taste reached his mouth.

Suddenly, several alerts appeared in front of him, saying Magic +1.

Seeing that it was a good thing, Tony quickly put the other fruits in his mouth before biting them.

Opening his status, he realized that his magic had increased to 750.

"Isn't it too easy?" said Tony incredulously.

Suddenly, he received an attack from behind, sending him flying and crashing into a tree.

"Cough, damn, that hurt," said Tony quickly looking in the direction so Jarvis could scan.

He quickly successfully detected the attacker; looking at him, he seemed like a young boy of almost 20 years who looked at him with apprehension and surprise.

He guessed it wasn't normal for someone to survive that.

Tony looked at the boy in front of him before shaking his head and simply deciding to retreat; although he could easily eliminate him, it still wasn't something he felt comfortable with someone so young.

He quickly zigzagged between the trees before disappearing from the boy's sight.

"How's the suit, Jarvis?" said Tony as he left the area.

"No damage reported, sir," said Jarvis directly.

"That's good," said Tony as he continued scanning the surroundings for plants to enhance his magic.

....

Damian was sitting on a large sofa while many screens were in front of him.

Almost everything that happened was more or less under his control.

Any confrontation that occurred immediately appeared in the form of a screen so he could watch it if he wanted to.

The closest screens were mainly his closest people.

All the older women in his family except Jane had also entered the event with slightly reduced strength; partly it was for combat practice but mainly to counteract people who were too strong.

Occasionally, he laughed at the nonsense people could do; they probably never thought they were being watched.

In addition to that, there were also quite cruel people who tortured their enemies before killing them; these people were immediately marked with an X mentally, and they would surely be eliminated soon.

Many familiar faces also appeared, such as Blonsky, Sterns, and Loki.

Although he was a little cautious with them, he eventually let them be; as long as they didn't do anything excessive, there was no reason to treat them specially.

His plans were on track; at this moment, the system had already taken over the entire solar system and was expanding further, and it was getting faster and faster.

At that moment, his attention was drawn to a screen showing Laura with two Spartans approaching a man.

As they got closer, he realized that the man was incredibly tall, measuring around 2 and a half meters.

He guessed he was a mutant that Cortana had sent to control.

The man had his back to them, so besides his tall and muscular body, no further details could be seen.

But once they got closer, the man finally noticed them and turned around.

Seeing them, both Damian and Laura and the two Spartans were stunned.

Instead of the usual two eyes, this man had one large eye, and his facial features were also unattractive, making him really look like a Cyclops.

Damian quickly searched for information about the person in question and saw that he was indeed a mutant.

He was quite physically strong, and his skin had great resistance to damage; the problem was that his X gene had flaws, giving him that appearance that surely made it difficult for him to integrate into society.

The man also seemed to have a very erratic humor due to his faulty genes, so he brutally killed any humans who had crossed his path.

For this reason, Cortana had sent Laura to contain him a bit.

The cyclops man immediately growled at them before lunging towards them; the ground shook with each step as he threw a punch at Laura, who was closest.

Laura reinforced her body with magic before colliding directly with the Cyclops man.

The ground shattered around them both as Laura was forcefully repelled.

The two Spartans who were a bit behind her didn't miss the opportunity. One of them kicked behind his knee while the other struck his head forcefully, throwing him off balance and knocking him down.

Despite being repelled, Laura quickly recovered and lunged at the cyclops on the ground before hitting his head with her heel.

The two Spartans, who had also recovered from the attack, quickly launched an attack on the Cyclops's head, finally knocking him out.

"Good job, guys," Laura said, sighing. The fight had been short but incredibly intense.

She looked at her fist, which was all red, and her skin had some bleeding cracks. If it weren't for her great skill in reinforcing her body, she would surely have broken her arm.

"We have some free time, so let's split up and see what we can find," Laura said, looking at her two companions.

Damian saw similar situations with several of the Spartans. Although not all operations went as smoothly, many times the Spartans were defeated by the senseless powers of the mutants.

These Spartans could only be eliminated, after all, it was an elimination event.

Still, Damian wouldn't be unfair to his men and would only let them enter other zones before sending stronger Spartans or family members if necessary.

....

Steve had just fallen asleep when he appeared in the middle of the forest before calmly surveying his surroundings.

He couldn't help but smile ironically as he remembered his wife's annoyed face before going to sleep.

She really wanted to come to the event, but being pregnant, there was no way she could.

So, he could only do his best to become stronger on behalf of his wife and their future child.

Looking around, he casually chose a direction before starting to jog.

He didn't have Tony's gadgets or any kind of superpower; he only had his experience and the desire to succeed.

Advancing through the forest, surprisingly, he spent a while without encountering anyone.

A little confused, he continued walking while keeping an ear out for any sounds.

After advancing several meters, he suddenly heard several sounds that he immediately recognized as a fight.

As he ran in that direction, he almost felt like he was back in the past, as it sounded like a fight between many people.

Upon arrival, he was immediately surprised to see at least 100 people fighting.

The whole battle was chaos as bodies occasionally flew out or people were killed.

He couldn't help but frown, not knowing how everything became so brutal.

Feeling something suspicious, he didn't advance too much and hid among the trees while carefully surveying the surroundings.

Suddenly, his gaze fixed on some bushes a few meters away, where only a delicate nose and a pair of eyes were visible, looking with satisfaction at the chaos.

Steve frowned, not sure if the person was just a psychopath who enjoyed this kind of thing or was the culprit.

Regardless, he decided to eliminate her; after all, that was the idea of this type of event, to eliminate the other participants.

Sliding carefully, Steve gradually approached the hidden person.

A light layer of magic enveloped him, making his movement completely silent.

Regarding magic, it was something Steve had grown to like a lot, and had a great talent for shaping.

When he got close to the person, Steve extended two fingers, creating a small mana blade before quickly stabbing the back of the person's head, ending her life instantly.

However, what he expected did not happen; the fight did not stop at all. He thought maybe they were being mentally controlled.

It was a rare ability, but there were more cases than he would like in the world.

Looking at the group of people fighting so brutally, he frowned before deciding to eliminate them all.

Clutching his fist, his magic began to emanate from his arm as he created a shield very similar to his.

On the other hand, a fairly simple spear was formed.

Both weapons were of a somewhat transparent blue color, demonstrating their lack of solidity.

No one noticed him as he ran toward the group of people, swiftly and effectively eliminating them with his spear.

His shield blocked attacks from those who noticed his presence, yet everyone seemed absorbed in the enemy before them.

Still, as he fought, he realized that these people were really being manipulated; they fought with a madness that was not normal in ordinary people.

His spear moved back and forth, constantly piercing the vital parts of the manipulated people to give them a quick death.

With a final thrust of his spear, all the people around him had finally been eliminated.

Looking at the pile of corpses and blood around him, Steve just shook his head before walking away from the place, trying not to step on the corpses or the blood.

At the same time, he also released his weapons, regaining some magic.

Steve set out again to wander around the area.

As he walked, he suddenly came across a small sapling that had eight thumb-sized fruits.

Looking at the bluish color and the sensation of magic emanating from them, he immediately knew that these fruits were something good to eat.

His hand quickly reached out and gently plucked the eight fruits before looking at them in his hand.

With his other hand, he took one of the fruits and brought it close to his face as he examined them closely before putting it in his mouth.

He quickly felt and saw his magic increasing; he couldn't help but pursed his lips, feeling that it was the work of several days.

Just as he was about to put the rest of the fruits in his mouth, he suddenly heard footsteps running toward him.

Looking in the direction, he saw a man covered in a black suit running toward him with his palm aimed at him.

Steve quickly created a shield on one of his arms, blocking the energy beam that attacked him before hiding behind a tree.

"I spotted those fruits first," Tony said, Aiming his repulsor at the tree.

"I already ate one; I'm going to lick the rest to see if you dare to eat them," Steve said from his hiding place, curving his lips slightly in a faint smile.
