Thanos didn't want to be a villain.

Hyperion, one of Marvel's four Supermen, is considered to be among the top-tier fighters among them!

The name Hyperion appears in Greek mythology; it is one of the twelve Titans, and its English name translates to "the one who flies high," and it is the father of the sun god Helios.

In the comics, Hyperion is extremely powerful, basically a copy of Superman, and is said to have the power to destroy the universe!

Hyperion has not actually appeared in the cinematic universe. Dio thinks that Hyperion is unlikely to appear, since his abilities are ridiculously strong, and his appearance would probably cause an imbalance in the fighting power.

However, Hyperion's strength in this universe is actually just so-so, almost no different from its original self, except that it has the ability to fly and use atomic rays.

Dio thought that Hyperion might not have absorbed enough cosmic energy. If it had, Hyperion would have had a hard time finding an opponent.

"Do you think you can beat me with the help of an adult?" Seven leaned on his Water-Fire Cudgel and looked at Hyperion expressionlessly.

Seven's physique and appearance are somewhat similar to those of a Samoan. He is not only physically robust but also has the hairstyle of a strongman. His expressionless face, combined with the armor developed by Dio, makes him appear extremely imposing!

It has to be said that the technology of Super God Academy is really useful. Even the armor of Dio was borrowed. The all-black appearance really looks a bit murderous. In the beginning, Seven scared Hyperion with his strong sense of pressure.

Hyperion smiled confidently, fiddling with the ten bracelets on his wrist.

This was forged by Dio in imitation of the Ten Rings from the movie Shang-Chi. The function of the ten rings is actually very simple: they can use cosmic energy to achieve three functions: energy impact, enhance wrist strength, and provide a protective shield.

Of course, since it is in the experimental stage, the upper limit of the bracelet is not very high.

However, it's enough for Hyperion's current needs.

"No, I can beat you into submission!" Hyperion grinned maliciously, then lunged at Seven with a powerful leap, the bracelet on his arm emitting a bright yellow light, beautiful yet dangerous.

Seven was not slow either; he stomped his feet and hurled the fiery water-and-fire staff at Hyperion's head.

The two of them were acting like mortal enemies.

But the onlookers were used to it; no matter how strong their fighting was, as long as Dio had a breath left, he could bring them back to life.

"boom!"

A loud roar rang out, but Seven's Fire and Water Staff did not hit Hyperion's head. At the critical moment, Hyperion twisted his body and dodged it.

Seven's blow, undiminished in momentum, slammed into the ground.

The immense force slammed the ground, creating a massive crater. The crater glowed with the crimson light of magma, and Hyperion, who had dodged the blow, was forced back by its power.

Hyperion, flying in the sky, looked at Seven through the smoke with a solemn expression.

He knew that the group of people under Dio's command had all entered a period of ability enhancement. Take Ike, who had the fastest ability enhancement, for example. His speed was already infinitely close to the speed of light, and the shield he created had incredible defensive power.

After testing, it was found that apart from hitting him with a blue giant star, there were basically no other known methods of attack that could shake his shield.

Moreover, Ekko's shield can even function as a bio-force field, and can even allow Ekko to escape the planet's gravity and fly.

Seven, on the other hand, has become even stronger physically!

Cosmic energy, physical strength, physical defense, and all other physical abilities have been greatly enhanced.

In terms of strength, it made Hyperion feel palpitations time and time again, and in terms of physical strength, it was even more difficult to shake!

But so what? Who told him to spout off about challenging Seven, and even said he'd eat shit if he didn't beat him!

There's no way around it. The pretense I put on before, I have to keep up the act even if I'm being beaten and crying!

Looking back now, I really want to slap my past self away. Why did I always have to fight with a dog for food...?

As the smoke cleared, Hyperion clenched his fist, trying hard not to let the other man see his trembling arm.

"Don't think you're the only one who's gotten stronger!" Hyperion roared, shooting atomic rays from his eyes, and then he gathered all his strength and swooped down towards Seven!

Seven blocked the atomic ray with one hand, while holding the Water-Fire Stick in his other hand, he stared expressionlessly at Hyperion, whose face was a mixture of three parts complexity, five parts ferocity, and two parts fear.

As Hyperion hurtled towards him like a meteorite, Seven felt the pressure. He took a deep breath, flexed his muscles, and pushed off with his feet, channeling the force through his legs, waist, back, arms, and wrists.

The ground beneath their feet shattered and cracked once more due to the immense force.

Seven lashed out his water and fire staff like a whip, striking the charging Hyperion.

Hyperion also noticed Seven's attack, but found that he couldn't dodge as he did at the beginning in his current state, so he could only grit his teeth and take it!

The ten rings on his arms shone brightly, like a golden sunrise, and successfully blocked Seven's water and fire staff just as it was about to strike him.

boom!

Like a great sound that is silent, the venue made a huge commotion, but not much sound came out. Even through the virtual screen, one could feel the vibration, and one's internal organs seemed to tremble along with the scene.

As a result, Seven and Hyperion were thrown out. Seven rolled once and came to a stop, leaving a trail hundreds of meters long on the ground. The tiger's mouth of the hand holding the Water and Fire Staff was cracked, and even his arm was trembling. The weapon almost slipped from his hand.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Seven's breathing became easier.

Hyperion fainted immediately, and the light of the ten rings dimmed. However, due to the material, several of them had already broken. Not only that, but the bones in his arm were also broken into more than a dozen pieces!

It was absolutely horrific!

Bored, Dio waved his hand, signaling his men to carry Hyperion away for treatment.

“Alright, the opening show is over. It’s your turn, Master.” Dio said to the man beside him who was dressed in gorgeous colorful clothes, with pale skin, paint on his chin, and a head of silver hair standing on end.

The man is one of the Elders of the Universe, an extremely long-lived figure who is proficient in almost all entertainment games, a Grandmaster!

“That’s no problem. Although my gladiators aren’t as powerful as Mr. Thanos’s, they each have their own charm!” The Grandmaster’s tone was very strange, with a hint of cynicism.

"Then please, Master, broaden my horizons!" Dio smiled slightly.

The name Thanos is what the outside world calls him; it's a transliteration of the English name Thanos. Although it's unclear who first used this name, it spread throughout the universe as soon as it was uttered, and no amount of correction could change that.

Just like in the movie "Let the Bullets Fly," everyone would rather believe that Zhang Mazi's real name is Zhang Mazi, rather than Zhang Muzhi.
