"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the seventh and final day of our World's Greatest Ability User Tournament.
On this day, we will determine the strongest ability user in the World.
Next, our final victor of this tournament, Black Captain Marvel, will challenge our strongest Superhero, Saiyan Superman, to see who is truly the strongest.
Let me welcome them with a round of thunderous applause!"
In the arena, accompanied by the Angel's excited roar and the audience's frenzied shouts, Adam and Black Captain Marvel each flew onto the stage.
"This match has no referee, no time limit, and no venue restrictions. A winner will only be declared when one side concedes or is knocked down for ten seconds!"
"Captain! Captain! Captain!"
"Superman! Superman! Superman!"
The audience in the arena was divided into two parts: one supporting Black Captain Marvel, and the other supporting Adam.
However, Black Captain Marvel's cheers far exceeded Adam's.
But this did not surprise Adam.
After all, he had never made a move before, and in the audience's impression, he was still the same person they had seen on television in his battle with Apocalypse.
That battle wasn't long, and it was viewed through television, which was far less impactful than Black Captain Marvel's live battle with Thor yesterday.
This is like the difference between watching a concert on TV and watching it live.
Moreover, Black Captain Marvel had fought her way through the qualifiers, and besides Thor, almost no one made her expend much effort. Her power had deeply impressed the audience present.
For ordinary people, they cannot accurately judge the strength of ability users; they rely entirely on feeling and performance.
Currently, most people feel that Black Captain Marvel performed more powerfully, while a small number of more clear-headed individuals still believe Adam is stronger.
These clear-headed individuals are those who know some of the inside stories of the Apocalypse incident back then, such as the high-ranking officials from various countries on the high platform.
"I never thought there would be someone among mortals who could defeat me. Black Captain Marvel is sure to win this one!"
In front of the special viewing stand for the top twenty-six contestants, Thor drank canned beer in large gulps, watching the two on the stage, and gave a very firm judgment.
Although losing to a mortal made him feel very bad and dealt him a considerable blow, he was not someone who couldn't accept defeat. Black Captain Marvel had defeated him fairly and squarely, and he was convinced of his loss.
But he did not believe that in this mortal World, there was a second person stronger than him.
Therefore, he firmly believed that the result of this match would definitely be Black Captain Marvel's victory.
The Warriors Three and the Valkyrie Sif also nodded in agreement. They likewise did not believe that in the mortal World, there was a second person more powerful than Thor.
Only Loki had a thoughtful expression on his face.
Because he noticed that after his foolish brother Thor stated his judgment, except for the person named Namor the Neptune who seemed to agree, the expressions of all the other top twenty-six contestants seemed to convey a sense of denial.
This included several contestants who were clearly from the same faction as Black Captain Marvel.
This indicated that there was a high probability that the mysterious strongest hero on the stage might indeed be stronger than Black Captain Marvel, who defeated Thor.
"Interesting, truly too interesting!"
Loki stroked his chin, his face full of interest.
He was overjoyed yesterday when he saw Thor, dejected from being defeated by the mortal Black Captain Marvel, drinking all night.
His arrogant brother Thor, who seemed invincible, was loved by all the people of Asgard, and was highly regarded by the All-Father, actually had such a day. How could he not be happy?
And this happiness, he might experience a second time.
Because if this strongest hero won against Black Captain Marvel, Thor would realize that there was another being much stronger than himself, and then be dealt another heavy blow.
In fact, Loki did not know that among these twenty-six contestants, except for their Asgardian six-person group and Namor, everyone else was very clear about one thing.
That is, if Adam were to transform into a Great Ape, Black Captain Marvel would surely lose.
Adam in his Great Ape form was truly terrifying.
Moreover, Black Widow and several S.H.I.E.L.D. contestants also knew that Black Captain Marvel's purpose in coming this time was not to genuinely defeat Adam, but merely to verify the conditions and limitations of his Great Ape transformation.
"Adam, transform. You should know that just like this, you are no match for me!"
After the gong for the match sounded, Black Captain Marvel did not immediately attack, but instead made a loud probing statement.
Adam merely smiled slightly:
"Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river. To fight you, I no longer need to transform."
Black Captain Marvel raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Although she didn't quite understand the relevance of the river being in the east and then in the west for thirty years, she felt that Nick Fury might have been right. Adam's Great Ape transformation might indeed have certain limitations, which is why he would say this.
"In that case, I won't hold back!"
If Adam was unwilling to transform into a Great Ape, then she would fight until Adam transformed into a Great Ape.
Adam in his current state was no match for her.
Her body enveloped in light energy, Black Captain Marvel seemed to transform into a streak of light in the audience's eyes, instantly crossing the dozen meters across the stage and striking a punch at Adam's face.
"Sage Mode!"
With faint eyeshadow appearing at the corners of his eyes, Adam raised his hand and caught Black Captain Marvel's fist.
Sage Mode can greatly enhance physical strength, and with the assistance of the "Ki" within his body, his combat power in close quarters combat will be significantly boosted.
In this match, he did not intend to load any templates or transform into a Great Ape. He simply wanted to defeat Black Captain Marvel with his own strength level and abilities, to make everyone understand his invincible power.
Actually, the main reason was also that a sandbag like Black Captain Marvel, who possessed decent strength and was incredibly resilient, was truly rare. He could fully experiment with the results of his training during this period without worrying about accidentally killing her.
"How is this possible?"
Seeing Adam so easily catch her punch without transforming into a Great Ape, Black Captain Marvel's expression also changed.
"Here's a kick back."
Adam raised his leg and kicked towards Black Captain Marvel. The speed and power frightened Black Captain Marvel, who immediately erupted with light energy to break free and swiftly flew backward into the air to dodge the blow.
At this moment, she already understood that even without transforming into a Great Ape, Adam's strength and speed were not much inferior to hers.
"Since I'm in this mode, let me experiment with the Ninjutsu I've learned during this time!"
Adam's Rinnegan in his right eye activated, allowing him to freely switch between seven attributes. He quickly formed hand seals:
"Sage Art: Great Fireball Technique!"
A massive Fireball with a diameter exceeding a hundred meters quickly formed in front of Adam, shooting towards Black Captain Marvel in the air.
