Chapter 100:
Unlike the tense atmosphere of the crowd, Gwen Stacy on the stage suddenly burst into loud laughter. Her pink-and-gold two-tone highlighted hair swung cheerfully with her movements.
"Alright, everyone, don't be so serious! As long as you all behave and play the game nicely, I definitely won't release the Hulk!"
She blinked playfully.
With so many superheroes as my backdrop, there's no way this won't go viral! Me, Gwen Stacy! I refuse to believe I can't become popular! Waaah~
The beach instantly erupted in commotion.
Spider-Man Peter couldn't help but complain.
"So we were kidnapped by a crazy girl in a pink bikini just to throw a party?"
Black Cat rolled her eyes. "At least the kidnapping location has good taste this time."
Captain America frowned and said seriously,
"Gwen Stacy, you shouldn't gather everyone here this way. It violates everyone's right to choose freely."
Steve looked somewhat helpless. Hydra had just started causing trouble again, and the Avengers were preparing to move out — then they were inexplicably transported here.
Before Gwen Stacy could reply, Tony suddenly got interested. He pushed up his sunglasses.
"So what are the rules? Just win?"
"I want to fight Captain right now!"
With that, he suddenly turned around, raised his fists, and struck a boxing pose toward Captain America.
"Come on, Steve. Let's have a man-to-man showdown first!"
"Tony, now is not the time for fooling around…"
Before Captain could finish dissuading him, Tony had already thrown a right hook.
Bang!
Captain America reflexively countered with a textbook jab, knocking Tony flat onto the sand. His sunglasses flew far away.
The entire scene fell silent for a moment — so quiet you could hear the waves.
Two seconds later, someone burst out laughing first. Then the whole beach erupted in loud laughter.
Falcon laughed so hard his white teeth showed, making Yang Jian on the stage feel like he was looking at a toothpaste commercial.
"Tony 'Never Learns His Lesson' Stark!"
Gwen Stacy laughed so hard she nearly rolled off the stage.
She finally managed to stop, wiped away the tears of laughter, and cleared her throat.
"Alright, everyone! Let's get serious. The rules are very simple!"
She suddenly spun around and dramatically pointed at Yang Jian beside her.
"The rule is: challenge Silver Superman!"
Everyone's eyes instantly turned to Yang Jian. He was smiling and nodding politely at the crowd.
Sunlight illuminated his sharply defined profile, making the female superheroes below the stage unconsciously want to "clamp a stick."
"Wait."
Ms. Marvel Kamala raised her hand to ask a question.
"Gwen Stacy, you said he's your boyfriend? But why drag an ordinary person into this?"
"Ordinary person?!"
Gwen Stacy dramatically clutched her chest, pretending to be hurt.
"Kamala! I made it very clear just now! He's Superman! Silver Age Superman! The kind who can pull planets, shoot heat vision from his eyes, and blow out stars with a sneeze!"
After speaking, Gwen Stacy clutched her chest with a heartbroken expression.
Black Panther T'Challa helplessly shook his head.
"Gwen Stacy, it's one thing when you usually claim to be a comic character, but now you're using DC comics to fool us?"
At that moment,
Yang Jian stepped forward proactively. His sculpted physique made the male superheroes feel self-conscious.
He looked at the crowd and smiled faintly.
"She didn't lie to you."
As soon as the words left his mouth, his body slowly rose into the air. His eyes suddenly glowed with a dangerous red light!
Then—
Boom!
Two beams of scorching heat vision shot out, instantly vaporizing a massive boulder fifty meters away, leaving only a pool of boiling magma.
The shockwave from the blast forced the nearest heroes to step back involuntarily. Two scorched black trails were plowed into the sand.
The entire beach fell deathly silent. Only the sound of waves lapping the shore remained.
"Silver Superman — the real deal."
Yang Jian gently landed back on the ground, a faint smile on his lips, as if he had just done something trivial.
All the heroes stared at the scene in shock.
Tony rubbed his reddened chin as he climbed up from the sand.
"I suddenly feel the need to reassess my life choices."
Gwen Stacy jumped up triumphantly. The little star decorations on her pink bikini jingled.
"So! Who wants to be the first to challenge Silver Superman?"
She pulled out a shiny golden trophy from somewhere. It sparkled in the sunlight.
"The winner will receive the title of Strongest Hero in the Marvel Universe! Plus my treasured limited-edition Thanos instant noodle bowl!"
The sea breeze blew past, stirring small waves of sand.
All the superheroes looked at each other and swallowed hard in unison.
Thor quietly hid his hammer behind his back, while Captain Marvel stared thoughtfully at Yang Jian, her eyes flashing with eager fighting spirit.
In the distance, Bruce Banner, tied up in the cage, sighed.
"I just wanted a quiet vacation. Why is it so hard!"
Gwen Stacy stood on the stage with her hands on her hips. Her pink swimsuit sparkled in the sunlight.
"The rules are super simple!"
She pointed at Yang Jian beside her.
"Whoever can defeat the Silver Superman next to me is the winner! As for the losers…"
She suddenly turned around and dramatically pointed to the other side of the beach.
"They get to stay obediently in the VIP rest area!"
Everyone followed her finger and instantly froze.
A luxurious resort villa had somehow appeared there. On the second-floor terrace, a few familiar figures could be vaguely seen leisurely drinking beverages.
"What is that?" Peter narrowed his eyes.
"The VIP rest area!" Gwen Stacy bounced excitedly.
"It has everything! Unlimited snacks, top-tier massage chairs, and even…"
She looked at the crowd and lowered her voice mysteriously.
"…beach volleyball!"
The beach immediately buzzed with discussion.
"Sounds pretty good!"
"Losing still gets you perks? I want to go first!"
"Honestly, I'm kind of tempted to lose on purpose!"
Yang Jian stood at the center of the stage. He scanned the crowd, a confident smile on his lips.
"So, who's first?"
Before the words finished, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky!
Captain Marvel floated in mid-air, her body glowing with energy.
"I'll go first and test it out!"
As she spoke, her fists were already charged with power.
"I heard you can pull planets?"
Yang Jian gently rose into the air, level with Carol. "Want to make a bet? If you can make me move even one step, you win."
"Fine!"
Carol instantly turned into a streak of light and charged. Her energy explosion illuminated the entire beach!
Yang Jian met her with a calm, ordinary punch.
BOOM!!!
The two collided. Golden light flooded the area.
In the massive explosion, all the heroes instinctively raised their hands to shield their eyes from the intense glare.
When the light faded, Yang Jian was still floating motionless in the same spot.
He had caught Carol's full-powered strike with just one hand. There wasn't even a single mark on the sand beneath his feet.
Gwen Stacy somehow produced popcorn and cheered while eating.
"Go for it, Carol! By the way, your swimsuit looks great!"
VIP Rest Area – Second Floor
Tony, who had been brought in early, lay on a massage chair, watching the fight through a holographic projection from Jarvis.
"Jarvis, make a note — never fight flying Kryptonians in the future."
