The lights in the arena suddenly dimmed, and the noise from all four sides of the stands abruptly dropped by an order of magnitude. Then, it became even louder, roaring, and deafening. The sound waves even suppressed the breathing of the two people in the enclosed waiting room.
Several strong lights suddenly shone on the stage, highlighting the center of the arena.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the death arena!" A host dressed exaggeratedly like the Clown stood in the middle of the spotlight. "Here, the most violent fights, the most hot-blooded battles. Everything here... has no limits, and the life and death of the contestants will be decided by you...
"It's the same old rules. You can buy everything they have, including their lives and honor!"
At this point, the stage lights suddenly dimmed a little, and the band's accompaniment stopped. The Clown, who stood in the middle, was like a toy, frozen there until he revealed a cruel and passionate smile.
"Don't you guys think it's boring? Look at a few pitiful people struggling in the arena for survival and wealth. Yes, there have been boxing champions who fought for their lives here, and retired soldiers who fought in a selfless manner here. They displayed the hot-bloodedness of fighting and the courage of humanity to challenge the stronger. But what I can't forget the most is this match... "
The screens hanging at both ends of the arena switched to a recording. On it were some youths above the age of 14, but they were still underage. Compared to the previous broadcast, their skills were more unrefined, so these amateur boxers could only abandon their necessary skills and use methods that were crueler to themselves and their enemies to win.
The host, the Clown, raised his right hand high and cheered wildly with the audience onstage. "A special show for minors!
"The children's struggle for their dreams!
"Many people say that there are no innocents in New York, that even the children here are scum, but I disagree. It's true that some of the minors who commit crimes on this stage are far crueler than adults, but this stems from their lack of understanding. So, with the careful preparation of the program team, some of these cute angels have begun to radiate the light of humanity.
"Among them are compassion, sacrifice, friendship, family, and all the greatest emotions in the world..." The Clown whispered to the camera, "But what I admire the most... is love!
"Juliet from England was once a prostitute. When she contracted AIDS at the age of 12, she devoted herself to taking revenge on all men... Evil! "Romeo from America, the only 'innocent' among the contestants. He came from outside the bright and righteous city to find his scumbag father!
"Love is like a girl's skin being cut open by sharp teeth, and blood gushes out, carrying the fragrance of roses..."
A clip of an average-looking, lanky boy flashed across the screen. His technique was excellent, and his punches were decisive. However, he was different from the cruel madness of some of the other youths who appeared on the screen. He was more focused on dodging and attacking instead of vital points.
"Love originates from redemption. Juliet, who had fallen into hell, looked up at Romeo, who was in heaven. In her jealousy and yearning, she was redeemed by kindness and mercy through blood. Both of them came here with dreams that they had to accomplish … Romeo was cruel to everyone, but he loved his father with all his heart. Juliet was able to cure her disease and return to the light of day...
"They weren't strong, but with their wisdom and sincere emotions, they received help from many kind-hearted people in the audience. Of course, it was our help as well. Everyone likes dreams... So when they reached the end, when victory and hope, love and redemption were severed from each other, the most exciting battle in the history of the fighting arena was born!"
The video of the fight started to speed up. The expressions of pain, the tears of sorrow, and the determination and determination of each other's attacks. The Clown was practically trembling, and a wave of cheers and howls rose from the audience.
"This is real, this is kindness, this is beauty! This is the light we yearn for, this is God's redemption! "
"I've never seen such a sincere yet fake battle before. I was deeply fascinated by it … At the beginning, it was a man's resolute rupture, a fatal betrayal, and then a pair of lovers fighting with everything they had. It was filled with exciting betrayal and cruelty … But this was just a performance … When we exposed his deception, his pain made my soul soar."
"In order to let the lover dare to kill themselves, to fulfill their dreams, but not to be tortured by love and betrayal! I had the heart to kill Juliet, but in fact, it was only for the sincere feelings of dying in her hands. My withered heart was nourished by them! "
"Then, it was the most absurd and most exciting battle in the fighting arena. It wasn't to kill the opponent, but to be killed by the opponent. It was a battle where the vitals of the body collided with the weapons..."
"This scene even moved you people with hearts of stone. For the first time, for the first time in history, your donations were placed on the redemption option. A total of 80 million dollars to buy our release of the two of them! It surpassed the 48 million for killing Romeo and the 16 million for killing Juliet. All the demons bless this poor couple. "
The Clown was so excited that his whole body trembled. He pointed a trembling finger at the highest point of the stands. "Mr. Robert, stand up and let everyone see..." A kind-looking old man stood up and waved around the stands, but the audience booed loudly.
"It's this old man, he destroyed all dreams..."
In the signal broadcast intercepted by S.H.I.E.L.D., Tonny Stark looked at the screen and his eyes were about to bleed. As a S.H.I.E.L.D. who has been monitoring Daredevil but accidentally found Adam's traces, Director Hill felt that he had messed up by inviting the Avengers this time.
"Robert..." Tonny almost gritted his teeth and said.
"Tonny, it's not your fault. The Stark Industries division in New York is out of control. Robert has taken control of it and made it his own kingdom... "
"Why is Adam there?" Bruce's face was already green, and Hill didn't dare not answer him.
"He should have gone to strangle the demons that might appear there. Demons like Leila need a lot of negative emotions to grow. Adam seems to be able to perceive their growth, so he has been chasing those things."
As soon as Hill finished answering the question, he turned around and found that Stark had turned into a red dot on the horizon. Turning around again, even Captain America picked up his shield and walked towards the Quinjet parked at the S.H.I.E.L.D. airport.
"Captain..."
"Why would you think that I would be indifferent? Stark has something to do, and I have my responsibility... Hill! If S.H.I.E.L.D. can't recognize its responsibility, then the Avengers might as well cooperate with Adam! "
"It is our responsibility to fight against Adam and Apocalypse..."
"No, it is your responsibility to protect the people!"
...
In the lounge, all the expressions on Chen Ang's face disappeared. He sighed and said to the only 'other person' here, "I've always felt that the title of Adam was not murderous enough and could not show my cruelty. Do you know... There are only wrong names, there are no wrong nicknames. "
Chen Ang began to wrap the white cloth strips provided by the lounge around his hands and said, "The one called Apocalypse is generally very ruthless, and the one called Ancient Snake is probably more gloomy and hot-blooded. I'm the youngest of them, more naive and immature in thinking. In other words, I'm called Adam. "
"I've been thinking now, if I had a colder nickname, such as the Bloody Hand Butcher or something. Was it possible to be even crueler? Was it possible to make people feel fear, despair, and hate themselves for being born into this world? You don't just know how to blast them into pieces? "
"At that time, will I be able to engrave my wrath on their souls and make them wish they were dead?"
...
The atmosphere in the fighting arena was already boiling, and the malicious roar of mountains and seas roared in Chen Ang's ears.
"100 million dollars, ladies and gentlemen! He paid 100 million dollars for the right to kill Juliet in front of Romeo... At that moment, the entire arena was boiling. Among you, someone tried to assassinate Mr. Robert. Demons, you have failed to live up to your heart of stone. Of course, these conscientious gentlemen quickly turned into corpses and were thrown out of the arena. "
"Our security is top-notch!"
"Very soon, the price reached a new high. Romeo 310 million, Juliet 590 million, and there were requests for rape, torture, and corpse collection... Mr. Edward, I won't expose your hobby!" The stands were filled with whistles, applause, and cheers.
The host, the clown, sighed with a strange aria, "The so-called tragedy is to destroy beautiful things for you to see. That was the most perfect curtain call of this arena for a tragedy... "
"But this is not unrepeatable..."
"In this hell, we will offer you the elegy of light, polish those beautiful things, let them shine, and then... destroy them for you to see!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, pot-bellied guests, villains who have committed all kinds of crimes!"
"In this sinful city, we have carefully captured those with the most humanity and the light of redemption; the most innocent and pure little cuties; and the most powerful modified humans with the strongest combat power and incomparably crazy minds. Finally... the most surprising are the two knights of justice who tried to punish and redeem the superheroes of this sinful city! "
"The Knight of Light who can't see the light!"
"And the villains' nightmare, the Knight of Retribution who plunges into the darkness, The Punisher!"
The stands completely erupted. The villains shouted like a tsunami, and the stands were in a complete frenzy. Those fat, balding rich people were red in the face, and they were shouting hideously.
The clown laughed loudly and pressed the button in front of him.
The gates on the high platform opened one by one, and some ugly modified beasts roared out. Their hideous scales and muscles hid a violent power. Their angry roars drowned out the voices in the stands, causing a few people to cry out in alarm.
The two gates that opened the slowest were on the far left and far right. Everyone knew that these were where the two superheroes would appear.
The voices that had just quieted down suddenly rose again.
But behind the slowly rising gate, only Chen Ang was smiling. He slowly walked out while wrapping a strip of cloth around his right hand. From left to right, he swept his gaze across the huge arena and the tens of thousands of spectators inside. Suddenly, his smile became even more radiant.
