Hello there, I must be honest. Traveler is much stronger, he's probably ten times stronger than before. These events happen after Traveler married Christine but before than the present.
Happy reading.

Peaceful, filled with joy. That's how I describe the time James had.
Nothing was happening, was it for the better?
James had a child which he named Alexander, just like his grandfather. He has barely been alive for a month, but he already showed signs of great power.
One day an old friend of James visited him. He talked about a friendly tournament… Multiversal Tournament.
James: A WHAT?!
Max: Yeah, a tournament.
James held his forehead
James: When was the last time they've done one? I must come!
Max gave him an invitation ticket and went away.
Traveler talked with his wife and convinced her to let him go into the tournament.
And as soon as he got permission, he was gone.

Here the tournament will take place. James had invited Collector and others, because he didn't have any more Fighter Tickets, to spectate the tournament.
The battleground was a plain old square, yeah, nothing much. But the true beauty was around it, millions of seats for spectators.
The Tournament functioned like this:
The Fighters will fight in a tournament scheme with two branches. Win and you pass onto the next round.
First the Qualifying rounds which you need to win 1-2 times to pass on to the next, then the Preliminary rounds which needs you to win 3-4 rounds. After the preliminary rounds, there's the Semifinals in which you have to win 5-6 rounds.
Then the Finals where you have to win 8-10 rounds, depends on the amount of contestants.
From each branch there should be only one fighter left, which leads to the Super Finals.
Who fights who is decided randomly for veteran contestants and based on skill for newer contestants.
The rules are simple:
-If a contestant is knocked out, thrown out of the ring or gives up, then they are out.
-Killing is not allowed in the Qualifying rounds, the preliminary rounds and in the semifinals, but it's allowed in the Finals and Super Finals.
James is number 1734, against The Conqueror, a pretty skilled fighter from another universe.
James: “The Conqueror”? Seems like me and Collector aren't the only ones with nicknames like that.
*He looks at the amount of spectators*
James: I've heard stories about this tournament, I never thought I would have been in one.
