"Mortal Kombat …"
Lin Xi recalled the background of the game. Then, these demons were the minions of the Devil's Palace, and they were Shao Kang's subordinates. He had planned to kill them casually and then fight his way into the Devil's Palace to steal the Power Stone, but now, he decided to watch the so-called "Mortal Kombat" first.
Following these minions, he flew into Washington. Looking down from the sky, the ground was indeed split into eight parts, but the central area had obviously been repaired.
A magnificent palace stood tall. The style of this palace was different from the various buildings in the real world. The palace walls were at least fifty to sixty meters tall, and they were extremely thick. Moreover, there were some sharp protrusions that looked like dragon teeth. They looked extremely ferocious.
Lin Xi and the others landed. At the entrance of the palace, there was a row of people welcoming guests.
These people were all in the Mortal Kombat game. They were dressed like women from the outside world, or in other words, ninjas. Most of their skin was exposed, and they were very revealing. Every woman was slender and muscular.
A woman welcomed them, and Lin Xi recognized that she was a female character in the Mortal Kombat game.
Melina.
This was a woman who was even more revealing than Mai Shiranui. Her face was covered, but Lin Xi knew that under the veil was a horrifying mouth full of sharp teeth comparable to sandworms. This "buck-toothed girl" was an extremely dangerous assassin.
"Not everyone is qualified to participate in the Mortal Kombat game, especially some pretty boys."
Melina glanced at Rocky, Black Adam, and Lin Xi. This woman was not bad, but she was far from the Fallen God and Dark Mage in the Mortal Kombat game. She could not sense the transcendent aura of the three at all.
"Oh?"
Seeing that Black Adam and Lin Xi did not speak, Rocky began to negotiate. "Then, beautiful lady, how can we prove that we are qualified?"
"Put your hand on this gem. If you have enough strength, you can survive. If you don't, you will die." Melina sneered and carefully took out a ball. Opening it, there was a beautiful purple gem inside.
"Power Stone?" Rocky was shocked. Could it be that Shao Kang had given the Power Stone to a greeter? Must be joking.
"No, this isn't a Power Stone. It's just a crystallization of a part of the projected power." Lin Xi was able to see through it with just a glance.
"Hmph, at least you have some sense. However, even if it's just a projection, not everyone can withstand it!"
The power of the Power Stone in the movie was so strong that even Luo Nan, the strongest of the Cree people, almost burst his body after grabbing it. He had to embed the gem in the Warhammer. The protagonist Star-Lord can hold it because his identity is the second generation of the Star Family and he has a strong bloodline potential.
Loki and Black Adam looked at each other, and Black Adam said, "I'll try."
He raised his hand and grabbed the crystal. His expression instantly changed. The energy that was gushing out from the Projection Gem was extremely brutal. If not for the six Divine Powers in his body, perhaps he would have immediately exploded or disintegrated to death under this kind of energy!
This was just a projection. How powerful would the real Power Gem be?
"Not bad."
Melena's eyes flashed with surprise. At the same time, she looked at Black Adam with a look of interest. She had to say that this villain boss was very in line with the aesthetic of European and American women – even if Melena was an alien in a fantasy world.
Nearly 2 meters tall, powerful body, and strong bulging muscles. In fact, this was actually Dwayne Johnson who played the "Scorpion King".
He was able to hold the projection of the Power Stone with his hand and did not show a look of pain. Obviously, he was a great strong man! Elena couldn't help but lick her lips with her tongue under the veil.
"Be careful."
Black Adam handed the Power Stone to Loki. As soon as he held the gem, Loki's face suddenly changed. His hair suddenly flew up, and the Three Yuan Pearls rotated at high speed around him into a phantom. A purple light pattern emerged from his skin.
Once, when he was in the Asgard Divine Realm, he came into contact with the Eternal Fire and the Ice Magic Box, and the impact of the power he felt was not as strong as it was now. This was just a projection!
Although his body trembled slightly, he finally held it.
This pretty boy also made Melena look at him in a new light. The woman then fixed her eyes on the last person.
"It's your turn."
Lin Xi took the projection gem expressionlessly. The gem in his hand did not move at all, like an ordinary stone. This body was equivalent to the collection of Amaterasu's legacy: a miniature sun similar to a Godhead, the power left behind by the Dark Titan — the Eye of Sargeras, the Golden Sacred Triangle of the three goddesses of creation, and the three Egyptian Gods.
Many powers were integrated and turned into light and creation. The extraordinary characteristics of Black Flame Su were much higher than Loki and Black Adam.
The power of the projection of the Power Stone was easily suppressed by him.
Moreover, Lin Xi was still analyzing the information contained in this gem.
"I see …"
Through the projection, Lin Xi understood the ability of the Power Stone. Mastering the gem was equivalent to mastering the four fundamental forces in the universe. This gem also had its own "Unified Field". By unifying the four fundamental forces, it could control the universal constants.
Now, Lin Xi could master the four fundamental forces, but he could not unify them.
Moreover, as one of the Infinity Gems, the Power Stone was almost infinite in terms of the amount of power he could control!
"Bang …"
When Lin Xi plundered the information in it, the projected gem could not bear it and cracked. Seeing this scene, Melina's mouth opened wide. Of course, with the mask covering her face, no one could see it. She exclaimed, "What did you do? Why did the projection of the Power Stone collapse? "
Lin Xi chuckled, not replying.
In any case, the three passed the test. Next, Melina led them to register.
Black Adam and Loki.
As for Lin Xi, he thought about it and registered the name "Death Omen Star".
"So, what's your team called?"
"Team?"
Under Loki's curious inquiry, Melina explained. It turned out that Shao Kang was playing a big game this time. He had sent an invitation to the whole world for "Mortal Kombat". Whether it was a boss or a posthuman, they could all participate to decide the strongest person in the world.
Although it was a "Mortal Kombat" fighting tournament, it was similar to the King of Fighters, with three people forming teams.
Lin Xi and the other two were one of the first teams to arrive.
Because the three of them were together, Shao Kang's subordinates thought that they were here to participate in the Mortal Kombat tournament. It had only been a day since the news of inviting the strongest people in the world was released.
"His Majesty Shao Kang plans to use half a month to prepare, and then the Mortal Kombat will officially begin. In this half a month, you can get the best treatment in the Demonic Palace. You can enjoy everything, be it good food or beautiful women."
Hearing Melina's words, Lin Xi thought for a moment and asked, "So, what qualifications does Shao Kang have to invite the strongest people in the world? Why would those strong people come to participate in this Mortal Kombat tournament? "
"I'll tell you about this."
A person walked out of the Demonic Palace. This guy looked like Kratos and Jian Zhi's twin brother. He had a weird blood-red mark on his forehead and many blood-red tattoos on his body. Inside the hideous black armor full of sharp teeth, his body was muscular. He was the strongest person in the Mortal Kombat.
Fist Addict: Guan Qi!
Sensing the collapse of the projection of the Power Gem, Guan Qi went out to check under Shao Kang's order. While sizing up the three of them, he said, "Emperor Shao Kang took out the Power Gem as the prize for the winner of the Mortal Kombat tournament."
"What?"
Rocky exclaimed. Was Shao Kang crazy? He took out his own thing as a prize?
As a god who was good at scheming, Rocky didn't know that the real strong people had the heart of a strong person. Shao Kang wasn't satisfied with being the king of the Demonic Palace; he wanted to be the 'king of the world'! He wanted to defeat all the strong people in the world!
"The world?"
Lin Xi frowned, and after some calculations in his mind, he said, "Using the Power Gem as a prize can attract a lot of people. This time, I'm afraid there will be quite a lot of experts from all over the world — only, some of the top experts have the power to destroy heaven and earth, such as the battle between Deathwing and Sargeras that destroyed Mexico."
"If a group of … say, dozens or hundreds of strong people fight here, I'm afraid the entire United States will collapse."
"Hehe."
Guan Qi laughed mockingly. "The rules of Mortal Kombat are that the strength of all fighters will be suppressed to a point of balance. For example, Emperor Shao Kang once smashed Washington into ruins with a hammer, but when he smashed it in the arena, it was only one hit … How should I put it? It's similar to the performance of a big move in games like King of Fighters and Street Fighter."
"I see … In the game, I remember that after the Gods of Absolute Beginning set the rules of Mortal Kombat, they used the power of the realm to suppress their strength … Could it be …"
Lin Xi made a deduction. "Power Gem?"
"That's right. It's using the Power Gem as a limiting item in the rules of Mortal Kombat! No matter if you are a god or a demon king, you won't be able to display too much destructive power in the arena. This way, everyone can fight fairly … Of course, it's only relatively. "
Lin Xi understood what Guan Qi said. The strength of a person's body, skills, energy changes … All these factors would affect one's performance in the arena.
"Then … How many strong people will be participating in this Mortal Kombat?" Black Adam clenched his fist, his eyes shining. As a strong BOSS who thirsted for battle, he couldn't wait to defeat his opponents one by one in the Mortal Kombat.
"The news has only been sent out for a day. In the following period of time, strong people from all over the world will arrive one after another. However …"
Guan Qi opened his mouth and revealed a cruel smile. "The team from the Devil Palace Empire and the Five Black Radiance Generals under Thanos will all be participating on the Day of Destruction. In addition, the three Demon Princes from the Bottomless Abyss, Demogorgon the Two-Headed Baboon, Orcas the Undead, and Graz 'zite, the Lord of Darkness, have also sent a reply to participate in the conference.
