(General POV)
Location the Void of the Forsaken
Mao was in some forest area of his Void, surrounded by countless of Arakune's eldritch insect minions, all kneeling respectfully, while Arakune himself, bow in reverent respect, before Mao gave him his order to spread a billion insects, targeting specific people, along with random civilians or criminal, he wanted to check his status, commanding the Chaos System to do as he wishes.
A red transparent screen, appeared in front of the black and reddish tinted slime creature, showing all of Arakune's stats.
Name: Lotte "Roy" Carmine Codename: Arakune Race: Black Beast Lesser. Gender: Male. Title: None. Rank: General. Powers/Abilities 1.Unnatural Physical Capabilities. 2.Super Genius Intellect. 3.Form Manipulation & Transmutation. 4.All-matter Digestion. 5.Lesser Reality Shifting Resistance. 6.Roy Carmine Intellect & Capabilities Awaken. 7.Insect Transformation & Transmutation Enhancement. 8.Wild Insect Conversion. Skills 1.Genius Level: Science. 2.Genius Level: Research. 3.Genius Level: Boundary Bending. 4.Genius Level: Language Understanding. 5.Expert Level: Grimoire Expertise.
Mao was pleased, and pleasantly surprised with one of Arakune's powers, "Lesser Reality Shifting Resistance", it may sound like it's broken...but for how jumble is the Blazblue storyline, and the first game basically trapping characters in a infinite loop, until Noel broke it...it kinda made sense, that those trapt in said loop would develop some matter of resistance to it.
Dismissing the Chaos System, he spoke to Arakune about a special mission that he has for him, which his minions are perfect for the job, as two days still remained in the game...
Location the New Earth: SHIELD Tri-carrier; Main Deck
Fury, was watching some of his agents managing to arrest Livewire, Reactron, Metallo, Toyman, and other major villains from the Metropolis area, he sighed, as many agents were now on search and rescue, looking for survivors of the London attack, and what pissed Fury the most...this attack isn't on the top ten of the worst to date.
That messed up game, that Mao is forcing them to play, soon the update of that new target, Pincushion, who Mao has confessed publicly that he is his right hand man, meaning that if they'd ever come encounter with him, they might force Mao into something.
Unlike Thanos, Blastar, Dormammu, and other tyrants and evil monarch that SHIELD has encounter before, information have told that these beings are uncaring of subordinates, and usual tyrants...but like Kang, Mao seems to have some affection and care for the Horror that he commands...a true controversy to their usual knowledge.
Snapping out of these thoughts, Fury told some of his subordinates to bring up the updated data on everything related to the Forsaken, as file appeared in holographic projection, in a org-chart showing Mao on top, with line leading to known wives and queens, Cyn, Lilithmon, Jinx, and Shego, all of them showing great power, and clearly non-human, then a line off the side, shows Pincushion, not much information on this new "Infernal Lord" has been accumulated.
Then below Pincushion, is all known and encountered Infernal Lord, with files of behavior, powers, and perspective limits, Nomu-King, Sabrewulf, Kefka, Abathur, Golem, Kothoga, and lastly Candymare, all these beings are literal monsters, capable of taking over a continent with ease if the Forsaken truly wished it...but they're more focused unwanted destruction, devastation, suffering, and death.
Even Carnage or Green Goblin, were more sensible in some level, than these monsters, then underneath the Infernal Lords, their vast multitude of various creatures, that have been encountered, fought, taken down, and still being tested on, all results are varied.
None of these creatures, originate from this Earth, or known galaxy...this infuriates Fury, one thing he utterly despises is not knowing, that's when the screens started to glitch, static, and twisted, Fury checked on his wrist-watch and said, "Right on time" just as Pincushion's update was about to air, from the darkest corners and spots of the entire tri-carrier, nearly microscopic, blackish beetles, with red and purple accents, and mini human eyes, started crawling out the dark.
Crawling over, and climbing onto various, random agents and staff members of SHIELD, not only them, but all across the globe, these unperceived insects crawled and latched onto people, acting as beacon for when the game ends in two days...
Pincushion did his usual song and dance, once again in the bloodstained, and messed up, doing a bit of dancing, and even have another addition, a messed up, top hat with a some sown with twisted, gothic style.
He tilted his hat, exclaiming, "Ohh my dear friends. You've haven't disappoint in the slightless. Killing...fighting...scheming...stealing...catching...protecting...and more. A true show to watch, my queens and lord, they've expressed great praise to you all...along with great disappointment..." the screen then showed that current it 51/50 then 50/51 in favor of...none, it was a constant fluxing tie.
Pincushion sighed, as on screen he walked over a chair, that a blue minion brought over, and dusted for him to sit.
He's buttoned eye, looked at the screens, despite having a jack-o-lantern mask, all that were watching could tell, he was disappointed.
The puppet of Mao, Pincushion spoke, "My lord, never expected this...a tie. Hmmm, just two days my friends, two days for a winner, or a tie will be announced... Best of luck..." the screens, monitors, and more glitched, and turned into static when a [23: 59: 59 remain for next update] this was a shock.
Fury didn't expected that his side would tie, with the villains...he "hmm" to himself, no one knew what would happen in case of a tie, this might cancel the game all together, many believed this...but Fury, as paranoid as he is, he'll never leave anything to chance, and ordered his men to contact the Avengers, X-men, and others to reach in deep, for the final stretch, just two more days, and one-billion people will be spared, while a billion criminals suffer.
Location the Void of the Forsaken, Castle Nightscream; Throne Chamber
Mao was ecstatic, Fury might be the one that finally shake up this stalemate, Shego even complimented the man, saying that he was in her previous world, Lil. Kimmie might have been a real pain in the ass.
Considering the Kim Possible would be considered a low tier street hero, if Wade had SHIELD's backing, and Kim...heck even Ron, have SHIELD tech and training, they might be a threat to known street villains in both DC and Marvel, but at lass.
Mao, reached over Shego sitting in a throne that resembles the one she has in that alternative future, were she rules as queen, comforting her, she raised her lips, but loved the sweet gesture.
As Arakune has already proven to be quite the asset already, his insects have already marked 2-billion random civilians and criminal, depending the results in the upcoming two days, either one of those billion, or half of both will be taken, and dragged to a special game...he already has Superman's parents, Batman's butler/father figure, Black and White Canaries' father, Wonder Woman's mother, sisters, and mentor/second mother, and so on.
Only if the heroes win, or lose will their be majority or some of those people taken, he plan to house a super survival game, having those captives fight for survival to find a exit, or dying.
Plus to add more excitement death traps, challenges, a couple of monsters, and voting for "blessings" or "curses" to befall the "players", he'll admit it he came up with this idea, a while ago, originally planning to do this to his captives in Chicago...but fewer, and fewer wanted to be apart of the games, so instead of targeting them...for now, he'll use them.
Offering various rewards to Chicagoans that play as..."hunters"...for him, Mao was getting impatient, and from what he can sense, so did his wives, Cyn and Jinx could barely stay seated.
He then asked his eldritch cyborg wife, "Cyn dear?" she turned her face to him, her yellow x-shaped eyes, looking with excitement, adorable love to him, as she said, "Turn. Smile wide. Yes, hubby?" Mao reached over and kissed her on the forehead, before saying to her, "Which of the hero groups, and villain groups, were the most checked on?" Cyn smiled wide, as her eyes turned into a loading bar, that filled super fast, as she said, "Loading information. Results acquired. Ohhh. Dear, it's the Guardians of the Globe for the heroes, and Talon for the villain. Excited squealing. Dear, which one are we gonna...play...with?" everyone chuckled at the psychotic, cute thrill on Cyn's expression, Mao kissed her again, making her giggle in happy glee.
Now it was Mao's time to smile, as he responded to Cyn's question, "All depends on our players, Cyn. But strangely...I hope it's does end in a tie, those extreme heroes, and a HYDRA leveled terror organization, they'll really shake things up. Don't you girls agree?" as Mao asked this, all his wives smile in excitement as well.
With that Mao, mentally commanded his system to activate, and show him his latest stats, wanting to see the changes, and if he recovered a bit of his CP, from last round of summoning, and self-improvements.
The red transparent screen with pinkish-white colored writing, appeared in front of Mao's eyes, as he began to read it.

Mao was greatly surprised, he reached another tier of devil, he believes with last round of gaining new powers, and skill, alonh with the addition of an multiversal artifact, bonding solely to him, he was ascended in race.
This came with stronger physical capabilities, and he did feel his magical power has also grown, aside from that his title changed from "Fiend King", to "Fiend of Fiends" Bray Wyatt would be proud.
Mao even have a idea, when he'd greeted his new "guests" he should make a item like the Fiend, who carried a lantern baring the face of his next victim, provoking untold terror on the players.
But returning to his original thoughts, another small change it's that his status, now displayed the artifact that he bounded with, as for his Chaos Points, he has 428750 points remaining, good a slight increase, most likely by the course of these two days, he'll surpass the 450K mark, with that he dismissed the system, as commanded the maid drones to bring some food and drink for then all, making the girls happy, as their wait is nearly over...
Location the New Earth
Everyone was on edge, only two days remain before the winner of this twisted game is announced...but the unsuspected twist, they can tie, many people, believe that with a tie both side would win the game, and no consequences will be enacted.
But heroes, villains, and government officials, didn't trust in what ifs...with less then 48-hours, for either side to finally come on top, with the finishing line, literally in sight, the League, Titans, Young Justice, and Team Arrow, along with SHIELD, Avengers, X-men, Defenders, and many others, their doubling their efforts, pushing themselves beyond their limits to win.
But so are the villains, HYDRA and the Legion have stopped making complicated schemes, just causing mass panic and catastrophe across the planet, from terrorist attacks, bombings, foreign disputes, and soo on.
And at the midst of all this chaos, a figure that world was afraid that he make a move, and finally step onto the stage again, has come out of his country Latveria, no longer bound by the contract of Mesphito, Dr. Victor von Doom, monarch of his country, and the most dangerous man in the world.
He aroused, no longer hated but adored by his people, he was gaining power in secret, reforming his Cabal, and waging war on surrounding countries, provoking a war during the final days of the Forsaken's game, Doom it was clear he wants to win, as half the Avengers, and Justice League have been forced to dispatched to the borders of Latveria to keep the peace, and stop the Doom's conquest, before he earns victory for Chaos.
All the while, Mao watched with excitement, first Nick Fury, now Dr. Doom, they chose the moment of greatest desperation, what the heroes don't know is Doom strangely isn't causing chaos, but enforcing peace through a dictatorship, and brutal conquest.
So it a twist of fate, they're crushing their final hope, if Mao has to place Doom in alignments he'd be Anti-villain, at the start Doom was 100% a supervillain, but as time passed and the comics evolved the character, he is still one of the top "villains" on Marvel, but he isn't stupid enough to risk himself, his people, and the world that he craves, on the actions of others...hence even thou he has done "good" things, Dr. Doom, remains classified a villain, and honestly Mao was waiting for the scientist sorcerer to finally make his move.
Just like the Joker he didn't disappoint, only 34-hours, left and the game is over, Mao was counting down every second, as what come next, will earn soo many CP. he might just for the utter devastation summon one of the "bigger" villains in media, King Ghiradorah, Behemoth, Lizzie, and soo much more, he might even have to make a new class aside from Infernal Lord, or Forsaken Queen, regardless the end is close...
