—— 3rd Person's P.O.V ——
.
*What an amazing fight! The combination of attacks and defence with a never seen deadly precision was just mind-blowing.* The Blonde announcer's voice sounded after the area returned to its original state.
*Don't be so depressed because even if Universe 6161617 won the first round, your Universe still has 99 champions left.* Alonsa tried to encourage the Universe 6161616, but it fell on deaf ears.
Seeing people not paying any attention to his talk, he announced the start of the next battle.
*Get ready for the next battle.* The moment Alonsa finished speaking, two white lights flashed, revealing the next fighters.
The two fighters were none other than the Cyclops of the X-Men, both wearing skin-tight leather suits and their iconic visor.
*My-My-My, they look so similar that if they weren't wearing different colours suits, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.* Alonsa's loud voice sounded from the screens, as he lowered his shade slightly, and pretended to observe the two fighters carefully.
As the Announcer's voice faded, the two fighters also observed each other carefully before giving a nod in acknowledgement.
*Not much of a talker, I see, but anyways without further ado, let's start the batter. Are you both ready?* Alonsa questions, and when both fighters nodded their head in agreement, he announced the start of the battle and retreats into the commentary booth.
"Hope the best of us win." Cyclops(17) stiffly said and received an equally stiff nod from his parallel self.
He immediately fired an optic blast after Cyclops(16) nodded his head.
His red beam was stopped by another beam. And once the two beams collided they formed a small sphere of red energy at the intersection point that keep expanding as they continued firing. Predicting the outcome, they both started walking back while still firing.
*BOOOM!!!* A huge explosion followed after they stopped firing, and even after retreating almost hundreds of meters, they were swept by the explosion's shock wave.
*Look at that explosion, I bet even the Incredible Hulk won't come out unscathed from that.* Alonsa's voice came from the floating screen, making the listener subconsciously nod.
And they can't be blamed, as most of them have never seen the Hulk rage, because if they have, they would have known what kind of monster the Hulk is.
*Ohh looks like they are going to engage in close combat.* Alonsa's voice sounded again, making the stunned audience focus back on the screen, where they saw both Cyclops fighting inside the giant crater formed by their collective blast.
They engaged in a fierce martial art battle, or at least it looked like one at first glance because as the fight progressed, people started to see that both cyclops fighting very indecisively, and not going for any deadly blows.
And of course, the Beyonder also saw that, and his face showed a coldness that it never showed before.
"You think, I won't notice what you're trying to do here, do you take me for a fool." The Beyonder's bored voice sounded across the two Universe, making everyone shudder.
Suddenly the floating screen stopped showing the fighting arena, and start showing two different planets. The information about the planets appeared on the screen as it did on the Champions when were introduced.
One planet was from Universe 6161616, showing a peaceful blue-skinned humanoid living on it, like tribesmen.
And the other planet was from Universe 6161617, showing a live form 99% similar to humans.
Both species watch themself on the floating screen as well, not realising the meaning behind this, like most people.
But one thing they can say is that this wasn't anywhere close to being good for them.
"You see that" The Beyonder's voice sounded again, but this time it had a sadistic amusement in them.
"Every time you try to pull something stupid like this again, I will destroy one planet full of sentient life forms." The moment Beyonder stopped speaking, both planets instantly exploded, making the faces of people go extremely pale in horror.
"Hahahaha!" The Beyonders laughed amusingly at the horror-struck faces of people watching this.
"Sick son of bitch!" Bryan muttered but instantly regretted it as he felt a different kind of pain, a pain he doesn't have a tolerance for.
"Agh!!!" Bryan screamed in pain which made the Beyonder laugh even louder.
"Continue" The Beyonder projected his again, snapping back the two dazed champions from their stupor.
They engaged again, this time with the purpose to kill.
No matter how they justified this, they can't help but feel guilty. It does not matter if someone said them to prolong the battle, but they still blamed themselves for making their motives so obvious that even normal people realised.
And with their motive being changed, it did not take long for the fight to reach its conclusion. With Cyclops(16) winning the battle, and slightly removing the tense atmosphere around the spectator, well at least from the Universe 6161616 side.
The third Battle immediately started after the end of the second Battle, which was fought by the Iron Man of both Universes.
Their battle was a sight to behold with hundreds of advanced weapons clashing against each, and showing the genius of the human mind across the Universes.
The fight lasted for a few hours, making both sides nervous again, thinking whether their champions were trying to purposely prolong the battle again, or not, but they calmed down when they heard Beyonder's excited laugh.
The fight result was as close as one could get with two super genius fighting for survival, with Iron Man(16) coming out on top, and winning the third battle.
And after the third battle, the fourth and fifth followed, which both ended with the defeat of Universe 616166 Champions, tilting the favour towards Universe 6161617 again.
After the fifth battle ended, nearly 16 hours passed, and Alonsa announced that the Contest will pause for the day, and will resume the next day, which gave the spectators finally some time to think about their circumstances.
But the day passed quickly and the contest resumed as the announcer mentioned.
The second day was not much different from the first day, and so did the third, fourth, fifth, and all the way towards the tenth day.
The only difference was that the spectators came out of their stupor and started supporting and secretly enjoying the game.
Along the way many major battles happened like Thor's, Hulk's, and sentry's battles, which opened the eyes of common folk to the real power level of the Universe, but it also further embedded the horror of the Beyonder in their mind for making so many strong beings fight like slaves.
The tenth day was going like usual, with Universe 6161616 having one more win than Universe 6161617, when suddenly someone new appeared above the giant arena.
The newcomer was a young man around 25 years old, with brown eyes and hair.
His eyes landed on two champions fighting and turned cold when he recognises the two blonde women fighting below.
He immediately tried to stop the fight, but the Beyonder appeared behind him and yanked the young man into a portal he opened. The Beyonder also entered the portal after giving a glance towards Captain America, who was running towards the Emperor's box.

—— Steve Rogers's P.O.V ——

The moment Charles told me about a strong mutant mind teleporting inside his psychic range, I ran towards the Beyonder's room, I have already heard many painful screams of Bryan's whenever I got close to the Beyonder's chamber, and every time I heard him scream, I felt anger like never before.
Although my friendship with Bryan is a short one, he grew on me like no one else did other than Bucky, maybe it was due to him also being born at the same time period as me, or maybe his past with World War II. I'm not sure about the reason, but one thing I'm sure of is that Bryan is a good man, who even if try to act nonchalant towards people surrounding him, is someone who cares deeply about them.
He had already asked me many times to move inside his Dimension, so I don't get caught in this chaos, but I declined his offer which he shrugged off nonchalantly, but I saw the slight concern that passes in his eyes every time I decline.
"Captain, we already stopped the ongoing battle of Susan Storm of both Universes and currently heading towards the waiting room of Universe 6161617." Sam's voice suddenly sounded over the comms, making me stop running for a moment, and reply back.
"Good! Sam, I have also reached the Emperor's Box, and in a few seconds, I should be able to free Bryan with the help of the Artefact Sorcerer Supreme provided." I continued running as soon as I finished speaking.
Reaching the outside of the luxurious building, I pushed its door open which showed me a large luxurious room that would have made the five stars hotel look shabby, but my focus was on Bryan who was sitting inside the glass cube with his head down.
Walking towards him, I called him. "Bryan…" Bryan raised his head showing his unfocused eyes.
"Steve…" Bryan spoke, his once deep magnetic voice, sounding rough.
"Yes! Bryan, it's me, buddy." I spoke with slight excitement as I saw his eyes slowly regain their focus back.
Once his eyes recovered their focus, they suddenly showed a panicked expression "Steve! You shouldn't be here! Leave! NOW!!!" Bryan said anxiously.
"What are you saying, Bryan? We won as you predicted, Franklyn Richards already took the Beyonder away." I confusingly asked.
"NO!! I predicted wrong he's too strong, Franklyn Richards will just be a bigger ant in front of him." Bryan replied with even more anxiousness which also increased my confusion.
And just as I was going to ask him to further elaborate, I heard a familiar playful voice behind me, making me freeze.
"Oh-ho-ho, what do we have here." I stiffly turned my head towards the Beyonder, who was carrying a severed head with brown hair and eyes. The head's eyes were wide open, telling me the shock it felt before it got separated from its body.
