The Collection of The End

——Marvel, 2015——

"Shelter" battleship.

"[In addition to the basic rules, this game also has an 'off-site help' system,]"

While everyone tries to analyze the rules and the tactics their opponents might choose, rules for players continue to be announced:

"[When each spectator sets foot in the 'sanctuary', he is regarded as an 'off-field family and friend group' who agrees to 'support' the players on the field. They can then register their own support methods.]"

"[Before setting off, players must look for the 'Lion Head Statue' in the viewing cabin to engrave the 'Help Mark'. Otherwise, they will be deemed to have given up the qualification to ask for help in this game - giving up will not give any preferential treatment, please do not hug it." There is a sense of luck.】"

"[Next, the organizer will give a brief introduction to the seven major countries as the venue...]"

There is no need to listen here. Asgard originally had detailed information about the environment of other countries, but no one usually cared about it. When it was determined to go to those countries, the relevant information had already been taken offline by Iron Man, or he carried it. The Jarvis version was tallied and distributed to the students at Hogwarts.

"Let me take a look...the lion head statue..."

Ignoring Luna and Moriarty's assumptions and arguments about personnel allocation for the moment, Sherlock walked towards the huge floor-to-ceiling porthole and found a stone statue with only a lion's head on its edge.

It opened its mouth wide, revealing a hole about the thickness of an average adult's arm. The light in the cabin was obviously very bright, but the situation in the lion's mouth could not be seen at all, as if there was a hole that blocked all the light within the field of vision. Like a black hole that sucks everything in.

On the base below the lion's head, there is an inscription that Sherlock can't understand but understands: [Competitors are asked to extend their arms to the elbow and wait for the engraving to be completed. You may feel sore or numb during this period. This is normal. , do not remove the arm in advance. 】

If it were a race without arms, you might see terms like "tentacles," "tails," and "limb ends."

Sherlock looked at the big stone mouth and hesitated.

He is not worried that this thing will cause harm to him, but is considering whether he will break it if he reaches in. After all, he already has a "summoning mark" on his body that "replies once a day, up to three times". Although It can only be used to summon "Batman".

Although it is not sure which one is stronger: "Cosmic Demon", "Lord of Asgard", "Galaxy Railway Boss's Husband", and "Subspace Batman", but this kind of summoning seal issued in batches will probably not be able to defeat the special ones there. It's custom-made. It's okay that it can't be summoned after it's carved. It would be a bit embarrassing to just fuck the lion's head while it's being carved.

At this moment, Sherlock happened to hear Iron Man discussing the lion-headed statue with others: "Why does the blacksmith in Asgard ask for a lion-headed shape when customizing it? You are asking the right person, buddy, Stark But I have participated in most of the projects of this battleship!"

Um? So why?

"The blacksmith said that this shape was suggested by the 'Ocean Demon'. The original words were, 'The animal that represents thunder should be a lion, preferably a lion wearing blue armor.' I didn't understand. Do you understand?"

No need to understand, now you can be 100% sure that even if you reach in, you won't be able to damage the statue.

Sizzle...

As the subtle sound of electricity disappeared and the slight tingling stopped, Sherlock took his arm out of the lion's mouth and looked down at the "summoning rune" "engraved" on the back of his hand.

It was three golden thunderbolts whose ends were intertwined together, with their tips extending outward, forming a 120-degree angle with each other. From a perceptual perspective, they only needed to be activated with a force slightly greater than a clenched fist.

As expected, there is no conflict between them and the "Summon Batman" imprint on the other hand. Of course, it is also possible that the custom-made product disdains this mass-produced product.

"[This ship is about to leave for the competition venue. Passengers who have not experienced long-distance jumps, please find a seat nearby to sit down or grab the railing to secure yourself. Five, four——]"

Of course, there cannot be any contestants who have not experienced this before. Otherwise, how would they have arrived at the venue? This reminder can only be meant for those native Asgardians.

Although he thought so, because he could feel the instability of the space caused by the large number of "slices", Sherlock still found the nearest chair to sit down, and then pretended to be admiring the scenery outside the window.

"【one!】"

At the same time as the broadcast countdown ended, thousands of thunders suddenly lit up outside the portholes. In Sherlock's eyes, the entire battleship stretched and twisted in one direction like a twisted canvas, and then was twisted into one like a used rag. The group, bumping around in the background of endless gray fog, until reaching a certain critical point, the collision stopped, and the previous weird experience began to "slow down" and "rewind", and finally the "canvas" re-opened, and the thunder stopped. , the scene outside the window is no longer the port of Asgard, but the deep space of the universe full of stars.

Fortunately, I found a place to sit down, otherwise I would have to wrestle... Also, isn't the level of this "leap" a bit too bad?

Sherlock turned his head and looked around with a bit of joy, but found that no one in the cabin looked like he had experienced the strange journey he had just had. Many people even looked out the window with surprised expressions on their faces, as if asking, "Is it over yet?" "

Tsk... It seems that there is quite a commotion in the subspace...

Before anyone else noticed, Sherlock silently controlled his expression and put on an air that said, "I'm really too lazy to find a seat."

Of course, this bit of disguise is just to fool Watson and T'Challa. No, Moriarty, who is also looking for a chair to sit on, is looking over with suspicion.

"It's really spectacular." Captain America, who walked to the window at some point, said while looking out the window.

Following his gaze, Sherlock saw that under the vast starry sky, there was a huge ice-blue planet occupying half of the field of view outside the porthole window. According to the intelligence collected previously, there was no doubt that this was the "Planet of Giants". Country", Jotunheim.

"From this perspective, it is easy to have the illusion that you are omnipotent," Iron Man walked up to him and said with emotion: "But only when you land on the ground and see the extremely harsh environment and the powerful and brutal giants, can you Only then will we know why this country has not been completely conquered by Asgard until now."

Is it okay to say this in front of the person involved? Sherlock glanced at Atreus and his parents in front of another porthole, only to find that they were busy chatting with Lily and were completely uninterested in the country outside the window.

This is really...

"[The first-ranked 'Asgard' camp players have been placed,]" At this time, the ship's broadcast rang: "[They chose the 'Dark Elf Country Svartalfheim' and 'Giants' Kingdom of Jotunheim'!】"

Five contestants, only choose two countries?
