đ The Story
The multiversal madness continues in Contest of Champions
#8 as the brutal fighting tournament reaches its peak! In this chapter
titled “Ultimate Fighting”, an even more dangerous threat emerges — The
Symbioids, terrifying creatures that are half-Venom, half-Void, and fully
lethal. With chaos reigning on Battleworld, The Ultimates (a team of
cosmic defenders) are drawn into the fray to challenge both these monstrous
beings and the tyrannical Maestro, who still holds dominion over the
battlefield.
But the arena isn’t just about glory — it’s life and death.
As the battles unfold, one contestant manages a daring escape back to Earth…
while another pays the ultimate price and leaves in a coffin. Loyalties are
tested, alliances shift, and the true cost of this cosmic competition becomes
clear.
