"I hope so…" Although Loki was also very hungry, the bad news that he would be executed tomorrow made him lose his appetite. He silently picked up the wine jug on the plate and poured it into his mouth.
"Eat something, so you'll have the strength tomorrow…" Thor said, stuffing food into his mouth, and threw a piece of roast meat to his brother. "If you don't have the strength, you won't be able to do anything tomorrow…"
"Okay, thank you, brother…" Loki hesitated for a moment, picked up the roast meat Thor threw to him, and ate it… However, he felt that this roast meat seemed to have some kind of different taste, which made him vigilantly put down the roast meat in his hand.
"Brother, don't you feel that the taste of this roast meat is a bit strange?"
"There's nothing wrong with it… I think it's delicious." Thor said, stuffing roast meat into his mouth non-stop, "This is the best roast meat I've ever eaten…"
"Maybe I'm just oversensitive…" Loki was sure that there was an unspeakable familiar taste in the roast meat, but he didn't intend to remind his brother anymore, because he also wanted to see what those people wanted to do… Maybe he could take this opportunity to escape?
Half an hour later — — — —
"belch — —!" Thor stuffed all the roast meat for two people into his stomach. He was really a bit too full… Perhaps because he was full, Thor felt that his brother Loki was very charming today… Yes… it was charming… "Hey, brother, I never realized that my brother is actually so beautiful…"
"Uh — —!!" Loki was stunned by Thor's words. He found that his brother's eyes seemed a bit wrong… He had seen that kind of look before, but it usually only appeared when a man was alone with a woman he liked… "Damn it… let me out… let me out…"
"My brother… I found that you are so cute…" Loki in Thor's eyes was so beautiful that he was suffocating. He felt as if a flame was burning from his lower abdomen… That flame made him even more unable to control himself.
"Let go of me, damn it… I'm your brother…" Loki was already on the verge of tears. If he had known that this kind of magic potion was put in the roast meat, he would have reminded his brother Thor, but, there is no regret medicine in the world.
If we talk about magical attainments, Loki felt that he could leave his brother behind several streets. This was not him boasting, but his successful experience of teasing his brother countless times with magic since he was a child.
But if we talk about personal force… Loki facing Thor is a weakling, not much stronger than a little girl facing a strong man… He is now struggling desperately in his brother's arms… "Wake up, brother, I'm your brother…"
"Isn't a younger brother the best gift God gives to his older brother?" Thor could no longer bear it…
What will happen when a magician whose magic ability is restricted faces a warrior who has no iron in his hand? Loki deeply educated the next generation of magicians with his own example… The magician will be arbitrarily ravaged by the warrior, in every sense of the word.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah — — — — — — — —!!" With a scream, Loki felt that he had lost something, something that could never be recovered…
Chapter 688
In a cell in the underground dungeon of Asgard Palace — —
Thor, the God of Thunder, leaned against the wall of the prison with a pale face, looking blankly at his brother, Loki.
At this time, Loki, with his clothes disheveled, lay on the cold ground of the cell in a large font, with tears in his eyes and a blank mind… All this came too suddenly… so suddenly that he was at a loss, and didn't even know how to face his brother Thor.
The atmosphere in the cell was eerily quiet…
After a long time… Thor finally spoke slowly. He knew… it was meaningless to say who was right and who was wrong now. "I'm, I'm sorry…"
"Sorry…?" Hearing Thor's words, the look in Loki's dead gray eyes gradually recovered a trace of brilliance. "Can saying sorry make up for the mistakes you made?"
"…" Thor was silent, he didn't know what to say anymore.
"I never knew you were such a person…" Loki gradually regained some strength. After all, the desperate struggle just now was quite exhausting. He slowly stood up, trying not to touch his wound… After simply tidying up his clothes, he turned to look at his brother Thor. "I used to find it strange, why only Sif among your four good friends is a woman, but you haven't attacked her yet… So you like this… I really didn't expect it."
Of course, Loki knew why Thor had become like this, but he didn't want to mention that thing at all… Didn't even want to think about it again.
"No… I'm not…" Thor wanted to explain, but seeing his brother's disheveled appearance, he couldn't say the explanation…
"Don't say anything… I don't want to hear your voice now." Loki said, walking to the corner of the wall opposite Thor and sitting down, but as soon as he sat down, he jumped up again… Cough cough, the injury is a bit deep. .
"Are you okay…" Seeing Loki's movements, Thor asked with concern.
"I'm fine, I'm very good, I'm so good…" Loki said, carefully sitting down again. This time he only used half of his butt, so although it still hurt a little, it was still within tolerable limits, and he wouldn't do anything to crawl on the ground like he did just now…
Just then, a familiar voice made the two brothers temporarily put aside their entanglements and stand up.
"I thought you would be abused by them. It seems that you are living a good life."
"Heimdall?" x2
Loki and Thor both looked towards the outside of the prison. Standing there, the tall black man in civilian clothes was none other than Heimdall. "You weren't caught by them?"
"Of course not..." Heimdall, carrying the Guardian Sword, replied, "I hid when the palace was in turmoil... I watched in the secret passage for a few days before sneaking in while they were changing shifts. If there's anything, let's talk outside..."
"Okay..." Thor and Loki nodded in response.
Heimdall directly opened the magic fence of the cell and released the two of them... He said in a low voice, "Follow me."
Loki and Thor followed Heimdall's footsteps and walked towards the depths of the dungeon...
Thor automatically lagged behind, letting Loki walk in front of him... But after a few steps, he looked at Loki, who was staggering, and finally couldn't help but hurried a few steps to catch up with him, putting his hand on his shoulder and helping him walk out.
"I won't thank you..." Loki glanced at Thor and said expressionlessly.
Thor shook his head indifferently, "I didn't expect you to thank me either... This is what I should do."
"..., Do you think this can smooth out the harm you brought me?" Loki said in a low voice, "Don't even think about me forgiving you in this lifetime... You hantai..."
Thor didn't bicker with his brother like he used to. He was now taking a kind of atonement attitude to cough cough...
On the other side, in the palace temporarily converted into a monitoring room, the women were contentedly eating hot pot. They were not interested in the disappearing Thunder God brothers on the screen at all... Or rather, the escape of the Thunder God brothers was also a part of their plan.
You need to know that the person sent by Zhou Ye to clean up Heimdall was none other than Jean Grey. Wanting to escape from the hands of Jean Grey, the Phoenix Woman? Heimdall is far from being qualified.
As for the Heimdall who is now leading the Thor brothers? It was a puppet that had long been controlled by Jean Grey's mind control.
When ordinary people talk about mental abilities, they probably think that the strongest person is Professor X, but this is a wrong perception. The truly strongest mind control is Jean Grey, who has merged with the Phoenix. It's just that she doesn't show her mental abilities on weekdays...
"For the sisters to work together to complete the Thunder God x Evil God world achievement... Cheers..." Ophelia, who was in high spirits, raised the wine glass in her hand and celebrated with her sisters.
The women, completely immersed in inexplicable excitement, also raised their glasses high and shouted, "For the world achievement, cheers..."
The entire palace was filled with laughter and laughter... But the fleeing trio on the other side was not so harmonious.
"Heimdall... Why are we going to the Rainbow Bridge instead of going to the palace to wake up Father?" Thor, supporting his brother, questioned Heimdall unceremoniously. "Have you forgotten your duty?"
"I have never forgotten my duty..." Heimdall was not provoked by Thor's words. His voice was still calm and powerful, "Odin is still sleeping in the Odin Sleep, but we have no way to rush in without alarming the guards..."
"Then kill in..." Thor always had a mysterious confidence in his father. "As long as Father wakes up from his slumber and calls out, the people of Asgard will surely unite around my father. At that time, these invaders will be a bunch of chickens and dogs..."
"...You have been imprisoned for too long. You have been away for so long that you no longer understand the recent changes in Asgard," Heimdall explained. "The people of Asgard have been bewitched by those invaders using a strange spell. They now deeply love Hela, who is sitting on the throne, just as they used to love the Allfather Odin... ."
When Thor heard Heimdall's words, his whole person became as deflated as a ball, becoming weak and powerless. He believed that Heimdall would not deceive him. Heimdall's power was very strong, but he had sworn allegiance to his father Odin, allegiance to that throne. He is the first line of defense in Asgard. No one has ever been able to escape his eyes and invade Asgard, except this time...
"...Then, what can we do even if we escape from Asgard now?" Thor was already a little discouraged...
Chapter 689
"Although Asgard has fallen..." Heimdall stared at Thor with his golden pupils and said, "But in the Nine Realms, we still have other friends and reinforcements... Now, your task is to use the identity of the Crown Prince of Asgard to gather our loyal allies in the other worlds of the Nine Realms... Then, counterattack Asgard..."
"Is this...really okay?" Heimdall's words were really a bit unacceptable to Thor, who once thought Asgard was the best in the world.
Among the Nine Realms, the ones with good relations with Asgard are probably the Vanaheim Vanir and the Alfheim Elves, as well as the Svartalfheim Dwarves...
Other places like the Frost Giants of Jotunheim and the realm of the Dark Elves… were out of the question. The Fire Realm of Muspelheim was even more of an enemy to Asgard.
How to break this situation? Thor was a little dumbfounded…
"Then… besides this, do you have a better way?" Heimdall directly retorted.
"…I think this is already the best idea." Loki, who had been silent and listening to the two arguing, knew that what Heimdall said was the most feasible plan. Other bad ideas, like rushing into the palace to awaken Odin, were simply suicidal. "Heimdall, what should we do?"
"I will use the Rainbow Bridge to send you to Vanaheim…" Heimdall said, "There, I think you should be able to find our most steadfast allies, and then… after you contact the Vanir gods of Vanaheim, call me. I will be here to teleport you to Alfheim again…"
"Okay, I guess I have no other choice…" Thor finally had to accept Heimdall's plan…
The three carefully bypassed the crowded streets and headed towards the Rainbow Bridge…
In fact, at this moment, there were still some people on the street celebrating Hela's ascension to the throne. They raised their wine glasses and shouted to everyone they met, "Long live Queen Hela, long live Asgard…"
The passersby who were disturbed by these drunkards responded to their shouts with smiles. "Long live Queen Hela… Long live Asgard."
This scene had a huge impact on Thor, as if overnight, all the Asgardian Aesir had forgotten about him and his brother… The despicable usurper Hela had become the king of Asgard that everyone expected.
This made it impossible for Thor to accept. If Heimdall hadn't forcibly pulled him away, he probably would have rushed in front of those people and pointed at his nose to question them. "Your crown prince is here… Do you remember who your future king is?"
After this scene, Thor became a little silent, while Loki, who was being supported by him, gave him a sympathetic look. This guy was indeed a bit pitiful. The throne that was about to be in his hands was taken away, and he himself had become a non-existent person.
Of course, Loki himself also felt very indignant. He would be ooxxed by this guy Thor. In the end, it was all those guys' tricks. Although he didn't know what their purpose was in doing this, but… he, Loki, had become an irreconcilable enemy with those guys. Sooner or later, he would repay those guys double for the insults and injuries, especially that man who threw himself around like a rag doll, he must…
The two brothers, heavy in their hearts, didn't say a word along the way. Under Heimdall's guidance, they came directly to the huge gate at the head of the Rainbow Bridge.
Reaching here, they had to stop. Not because they couldn't open the gate, but because there were two figures blocking their way in front of the gate.
"Oh, my dear two younger brothers, where do you want to go?" Hela held the Nightsword and looked at the trio in front of her with a smile.
"It's enough to kill them… I still want to go back to be with my dear!" Jean Grey, wearing a red dress, had no interest in this pair of unfortunate brothers. For her, it would be more meaningful to go back and snuggle in her man's arms and doze off than to waste time here.
"You guys hold them back for a while, I'll go and activate the teleportation…" Heimdall said, drawing the Guardian Sword from his back and rushing towards the two women.
Thor and Loki had no choice but to rush over too… Heimdall was their last hope. If Heimdall was stopped by the two women, then they couldn't escape either…
Thinking of this, Thor rushed over quickly, blocking Hela before Heimdall. In his opinion, Hela was already the most difficult character to deal with, and leaving the difficulty to himself was his apology to his brother.
"Damn it, I knew it would turn out like this…" Loki complained, while rushing to Jean's front, and said with a smile: "This beautiful lady, in fact, I am a pacifist, why don't we have a cup of tea together and talk about the customs of Asgard?"
"Too much nonsense…" Jean has always had only one attitude towards other men, and that is… to regard them as nothing. She pointed at Loki unceremoniously, and a flame exuding a dangerous aura directly burned towards Loki.
"Your opponent is me…" Thor, without his hammer, directly punched Hela with his fist. Hela smiled slightly and slid her sword towards Thor's eyes, forcing Thor to stop and dodge in embarrassment.
The four fought and walked, or rather, Loki and Thor should be retreating while fighting. The two brothers were retreating towards the teleportation point at the head of the Rainbow Bridge in a planned manner.
In fact, the two women were just here to act… Of course, in order to strive for realism, Thor's body was cut open and fleshy by Hela's Nightsword, and there were scars everywhere… And Loki was almost completely roasted by Jean.
Just when Thor and Loki felt that they might really have to explain themselves here today, Heimdall, who was using his Guardian Sword to activate the teleportation not far away, had already activated the Rainbow Bridge. He shouted to Thor and Loki: "Come here, it's time for you to go."
"I've been waiting for you to say this…" Thor said, using the force of Hela kicking him to turn around and run towards Heimdall… The colorful light of the Rainbow Bridge teleportation was right in front of him, and Thor felt that he was already in sight of victory. When a huge force came from behind, he was kicked directly into the teleportation beam… But, this does not mean that he has been completely rescued.
Because, this powerful force not only kicked him into the Rainbow Bridge, but even kicked him, who had already entered the teleportation, and smashed open the teleportation protection crystal wall, directly falling into an unknown space…
And Loki was even more miserable… He was directly thrown out of the Rainbow Bridge by Jean. Below him was the endless starry sky… God knows where he would drift to.
Chapter 690
Watching the two brothers disappear, Hela and Jean stood smiling in place... Their mission was complete, or rather, their goal had been achieved. Heimdall, who had just been acting as Asgard's most loyal subject of the year, had already closed the Rainbow Bridge and knelt on one knee before the two women. He had long been controlled by Jean.
"You had me throw Loki off Asgard because you wanted to try and see if you could continue Loki's destiny and retrieve the Mind Stone from Thanos, but why did you spare Thor's life?" Jean asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Of course, it's because I want to give my dear a gift..." Hela said with a smile, "Don't you think dear has always been very interested in capable Valkyries?"
"Capable Valkyrie?" Jean seemed to realize something and nodded thoughtfully. In fact, Hela still harbored a lot of resentment towards that fish that slipped through her fingers. "But... dear seems to have already sent the Hulk to the laboratory. How could that guy escape from that planet without help? Besides, are you sure that this guy, who hasn't undergone transformation, can persuade that Valkyrie to attack Asgard?"
"..." Hela facepalmed. "Crap, I forgot to consider that... What should I do, Jean?"
"Sigh..." Jean sighed, not expecting Hela to be occasionally muddle-headed. "Just tell dear the truth. Besides, the Grandmaster of Sakaar has some family ties with dear..."
"Family ties?" Hela asked in some astonishment.
"Of course, have you forgotten Carina Tivan? Our sister..." Jean retorted.
"Of course I remember Carina..." Knowing that Carina was a must-attend at every family gathering, how could Hela not know her? "But isn't her father the Collector Tivan? How is he related to the Grandmaster of Sakaar?"
"Don't you know that the Grandmaster of Sakaar and the Collector Tivan are brothers? Dear was planning to go to Sakaar in a while to take down that Valkyrie... but now..." Jean sighed helplessly, "You should get together with your sisters more often and chat when you have nothing to do..."
"..." Hela at this moment really had a feeling of being screwed over. If she had known this would happen, why would she have bothered to replicate Thor's fall onto Sakaar? It would be good if Thor could never leave Sakaar from now on, but she was afraid that if some strange change occurred between him and the Valkyrie, it would really...
Thinking of this, Hela didn't dare to hesitate any longer. She grabbed Jean Grey's hand and ran towards the palace. "You have to help me this time, Jean..."
Two hours later — — — —
"Hela, baby... you..." Zhou Ye looked speechlessly at Hela sitting in front of him, looking cautious because she had done something wrong.
"I just wanted to give you a surprise..." Hela said somewhat aggrieved.
"I know... I know." Zhou Ye put his arms around Hela and Jean. He said with a wry smile: "I originally wanted to take care of the matters here before going directly to Carina and going to Sakaar with her... but now it seems that I have to take a shortcut... ."
"What shortcut... dear?" Hela asked curiously.
"You, like me, like to fast-forward when watching movies... Didn't you notice that there is an unstable space-time rift on Sakaar that leads directly to the outer space of Asgard?" Zhou Ye said, gently patting Hela's upturned buttocks.
"Then are you leaving tomorrow?" Hela asked somewhat reluctantly.
"No, I'm leaving now." Zhou Ye sighed, "The time on Sakaar is very strange... Even if Thor and I are thrown over only ten seconds apart, maybe the time we arrive on Sakaar will be several months apart. I don't want my capable Valkyrie to disappear because of something..."
"Then... okay." Hela was still reluctant, but she couldn't help it. After all, it was because of her own mistake that it turned out like this... "Then who are you planning to take with you this time?"
"There is no high-end combat power on Sakaar... I'm just going there for a casual stroll. You don't think your man can't even beat a Valkyrie, do you?" Zhou Ye said with a smile: "So I plan to take Amora and her sister with me this time, just as a trip..."
"Really? Dear..." When Lorelei and Amora heard this, their eyes lit up with surprise. This was the time when they were most attached to their man... They couldn't wait to hang on Zhou Ye's body 24 hours a day. They couldn't ask for more than to accompany their man on an interstellar trip.
Although Sif and Frigga didn't say anything, their disappointed expressions were obvious... Obviously, they were also reluctant to separate from their man now.
Of course, Zhou Ye saw the dissatisfaction of the two at a glance and sighed. "Okay, anyway, Sif and Frigga have nothing to do here, so we might as well go together."
"Hmm..." Sif and Frigga showed happy smiles.
"After I leave, you must pay attention to Loki's movements at all times. If he really brings the Mind Stone back... then, except for Jean, none of you are a match for the Mind Stone... Forget it, let me peek into the future." Zhou Ye said, golden light flowing in his eyes, and scenes were reflected in his pupils.
After a while, Zhou Ye smiled. "Ha, I didn't expect such a thing to happen... Loki can be ignored for the time being."
"What happened? Dear?" The women asked curiously.
"The future is always changing. I can only say that Loki is not a threat for the time being..." Zhou Ye said with a smile: "Now I have plenty of time to collect a capable Valkyrie."
You're such a tease, always whetting our appetites..."
"Yeah, darling, you're so bad..."
"Hey, hey, you all don't understand the pain of glimpsing the future..." Zhou Ye said with a look of [I don't want this either]: "After glimpsing the future, life loses its surprises... Everything becomes taken for granted in your eyes, it's so tragic."
After Zhou Ye finished speaking, without waiting for the women to retort, he stood up directly and opened a portal leading directly to the Mars base. He still needed to go there to drive out his private medium-sized spacecraft. If it were just him, he could swagger into that space-time rift, but with the girls, he couldn't do that... After all, they don't have a body as strong as his. "Alright, time is of the essence, I'll go first, you defend Asgard."
The four women named by Zhou Ye, along with Zhou Ye's two personal maids, followed closely behind Zhou Ye and passed through the portal, leaving the other women here complaining charmingly...
Chapter 691
Sakaar—a terrestrial planet located at a singularity in the universe, surrounded by cosmic pathways, located at the boundary between the known and unknown worlds...
Although forcibly passing through that unstable space-time rift made everyone bumpy and miserable, the Asgardians' strong physique allowed them to recover quickly after the spacecraft left the passage. Looking at the endless mountains of garbage outside the window through the spacecraft's observation window, Lorelei couldn't help but sigh. "This really is a terrible place..."
"Honey, are you sure we didn't go to the wrong place?" Amora agreed with her sister's words for the first time in her life.
"Of course we didn't go the wrong way..." Zhou Ye sat in the driver's seat, looking at this place that was like an ocean of garbage, and said with a smile: "This should be Sakaar's space singularity... Things from the outside often fall here, such as spaceships, trees, or... creatures."
The women gathered around their man, looking at the piles of garbage mountains under their feet through the large transparent observation window in front of the spacecraft. In those garbage mountains, they saw all kinds of mechanical products, and some decorations that didn't belong to a civilization's style at all.
Among those garbage mountains, there were many ragged guys. They wore strangely shaped clothes, some wearing masks, and some clothes looked like a large piece of curtain cut open in the middle. In short, they looked like all kinds of things... They wandered back and forth along the garbage mountains, and from time to time something was ejected from the fiery red vortex pillars in the sky... They quickly surrounded it, seemingly searching for whether this thing had any value.
"A bunch of scavengers..." Lorelei curled her lips in disdain, she looked down on these guys at all.
At this moment, an alarm sounded in the spacecraft. "Unidentified flying objects are approaching rapidly, please pay attention..."
"Huh?" Zhou Ye raised his eyes and saw three or four extremely dilapidated spaceships surrounding them... In Zhou Ye's eyes, those spaceships were like large freight containers with patches all over them. Zhou Ye didn't find any weapon devices on these container spaceships, only open hatches, and beggars holding all kinds of unknown weapons...
"Unknown aircraft, please state your identity... This is the Sakaar Guard." Such a voice came from the leading spaceship.
"Really... annoying." Zhou Ye said, pressing the weapon launch button in his hand... In an instant, the hadron bombardment guns on both sides of the spacecraft shot out blue rays, and in the blink of an eye, they blasted these guys who intended to surround Zhou Ye's spacecraft into scum along with their ships.
"Well done... honey." Lorelei cheered and kissed Zhou Ye's cheek. Her sister Amora also kissed Zhou Ye on the other side without showing any weakness. "Honey, you're great."
"Will this cause any trouble?" Frigga was a little worried.
"Just a bunch of scavengers... They often impersonate so-called order maintainers, and after tricking the people in the spaceship out, they either catch the people inside and sell them to the Grandmaster's arena to serve as gladiators, or they eat those poor guys as food..." Although Zhou Ye had never been to Sakaar, he knew a lot about Sakaar, although much of it was told to him by Carina Tivan.
"Eat?" Frigga widened her eyes in disbelief. "Honey... is the so-called eating... what I think it is?"
"That's right, it's the literal meaning." Zhou Ye said, winking at Frigga.
"Oh..." Frigga felt a surge in her stomach, it was really...
"Alright, we should go find the Grandmaster..." Zhou Ye said, turning the spacecraft and accelerating towards the towering urban area on the horizon...
In the center of this technologically advanced city, there is a very special high-rise building... This is a circular skyscraper... Circular skyscrapers are rare, but they are not special. The most special thing is... On the outer wall of this building, there are giant masks hanging one after another... These masks decorate this building like a huge totem pole.
This building is the lair of the ruler of Sakaar, Grandmaster En Dwi Gast...
And when Zhou Ye's spacecraft arrived in front of this building—Grandmaster En Dwi Gast was observing his latest acquisition.
"Not bad, is this a male?" Grandmaster looked at the man with long golden hair in front of him, and turned to ask Scavenger Warrior 142, who brought him here.
"It should be..." Scavenger Warrior 142 is a beautiful woman with a few white eye lines painted on her face, her hair tied back, and wearing black leather clothes. Although she is slender and does not look burly, no one here will underestimate her. You must know that the eye lines on her eyes are not painted in vain. Each eye line represents a powerful enemy who died in her hands... Ordinary enemies are not qualified to become decorations on her face.
"I think I need to get closer to take a good look..." Grandmaster said, gently standing up and walking towards the seat that bound the man with long golden hair in place. "I'm curious... who are you?"
"I—am—the God of Thunder." Thor, who had temporarily broken free from the restraints on his hands, shouted loudly, and as he raised his hands, streaks of electric sparks wandered on his hands.
"Wow—I didn't hear any thunder. What's that thing in your hand? A little spark?" Grandmaster said with a smile. Although Thor had temporarily broken free from his restraints, as long as Thor didn't leave the chair, he posed no threat to the Grandmaster.
"Thunderer—didn't expect you to be a warrior?"
"What are you…" Thor raised his hand to punch the Grandmaster, but as soon as his arm lifted, a strong current surged from the restraints on his neck. Thor immediately trembled and collapsed back into the chair.
"I want twenty million… for the future champion of the arena. I think it's worth the price." Number 142 put down the remote control for the restraints. She could tell that the Grandmaster was very interested in her trophy, and she didn't mind asking for a high price. After all, money was just a number to the Grandmaster.
"You're dreaming—!" Topaz, the Grandmaster's loyal dog, said directly from behind him.
"Stop talking nonsense—transfer the money…" As Number 142 expected, the Grandmaster had no concept of money. Anyway, the entire Sakaar was his. Helpless, Topaz could only process the transfer to the scavenger warrior, Number 142.
"I'll let you know in advance next time I have good stuff, boss…" Number 142 waved goodbye to the Grandmaster with a smile. For her, this large sum of money was enough for her to live a life of drunken dreams for a while… at least enough to settle her old debts at the bar and still have a lot left over.
Just as Number 142 left the Grandmaster's hall, Topaz whispered in his ear, "Miss Carina's husband has come to visit you."
"Little Carina's husband?" The Grandmaster was a little confused. "When did she get married… Why didn't that guy Tivan notify me?"
"A few days ago, Miss Carina sent you a communication… Have you forgotten?" Topaz was somewhat helpless with his boss. Apart from certain things that particularly attracted him, he didn't seem to be very interested in anything else.
"Oh, oh…" Hearing his subordinate's reminder, the Grandmaster suddenly realized. He said with a smile, "My lovely nephew-in-law is coming to visit me, that's really a good thing. Where is he now?"
"They are just outside the building now…" Topaz said.
"Quick, invite them in…" the Grandmaster said with a smile. You know, he had left the family a long time ago, but… his relationship with the Collector, Tivan, was still pretty good.
Chapter 692
The scavenger warrior, Number 142, walked contentedly through the passage leading to the hangar. She was very happy; snatching this guy from the hands of those scavengers had made her a fortune.
Although that guy kept yelling on the way that he was the Prince of Asgard, Thor, the God of Thunder, so what? Although she used to be one of the Valkyries, and had sworn allegiance to the throne, so what?
She had already paid enough for the Odin family's nonsense… Her sisters, her lover, had all died at the hands of Hela, the Goddess of Death, in the final battle… Leaving only her, who had lost everything, clinging to life.
In order not to repeatedly see her lover blocking the Nightsword that was stabbing towards her with her own flesh and blood in the nightmares that returned at midnight… she had to become an alcoholic, a drunken woman every day.
She no longer owed the Odin family anything. Her oath had been rendered null the moment her lover died in front of her… She, now, was free…
As Valkyrie, Number 142, thought, she staggered forward. People in the passage who saw her hurriedly dodged to the side… There was no way around it. In the past, there were those who were stubborn and didn't dodge, but they eventually either became the Valkyrie's bounty or turned into a wisp of wronged souls. There was no law on Sakaar, let alone any order maintainers.
As for the ruler of Sakaar, the Grandmaster? He was clearly not a good administrator… For him, as long as his subordinates didn't rebel, he didn't care about anything else… The biggest rule on Sakaar was not to rebel against Grandmaster. As for the rest? There were no legal clauses to restrain the civilians. Whoever had the bigger fist was the boss.
When the drowsy Valkyrie was about to walk to the hangar, she felt like she had bumped into a wall—bang—if it was based on her past experience, the people who bumped into her would basically be sent flying… Not to mention anything else, the powerful physique of the Asgardians was not a joke, let alone the Valkyries, who were powerful professionals?
However, the result of this collision surprised Valkyrie. It seemed that the person she bumped into was fine. On the contrary, she was hit by a strong reaction force, and stumbled back three steps before standing firm.
"…" Raising her slightly drunken eyes, Valkyrie looked at the guy she had bumped into. In the blur, it seemed to be a handsome young man with golden hair and golden eyes. Behind the young man were five or six beautiful women, although one of the women looked a little familiar to her… But now, she didn't want to find trouble with anyone, because her stock was almost running out. She was rushing back to replenish her stock after making a fortune.
"Consider yourself lucky… bastard…" Valkyrie muttered softly, while letting her body sway to the side, wanting to pass by…
However, something even more unexpected happened… That handsome young man with golden hair and golden eyes actually came in front of her with great interest, blocking her way…
"I remember when you introduced Sakaar to me just now, you said that there were no restrictions on any form of looting here? Is that right?" Zhou Ye looked at Valkyrie, who was swaying her body, and asked the subordinate sent by the Grandmaster to be responsible for receiving him with a smile.
"Uh—that's right…" The usherette replied with some astonishment: "But the premise is… that you can easily take down the opponent and make the opponent lose their combat power… Then the opponent will become your private property, whether you sell them or keep them… But, please forgive me for being blunt, this lady is not ordinary…"
"Alright, I know, you don't need to say the rest." Zhou Ye waved his hand, stopping the usherette's words. Wasn't his purpose here for this escaped Valkyrie? Now that they had met, he didn't mind taking her down directly.
"It's been a long time… hic… since I've seen such a courageous guy." The moment Valkyrie heard Zhou Ye's words, she had already completed her battle stance. She squatted slightly, with her hands behind her back, tightly gripping her dragon tooth short sword.
In all her years drifting and wandering on Sakaar, many had tried to make her their own, but eventually, the grass on those fellows' graves grew old and tall... Now, another clueless newbie had arrived. She wouldn't mind using force to tell this rich young master who'd just arrived on Sakaar that there were some people he couldn't afford to provoke.
"Don't worry, pretty boy. After I catch you, I'll sell you to the most famous nightclub here. I think those noblewomen who come to Sakaar seeking thrills will be very interested in you... Hic—I'll get a good price for you."
"Heh heh..." Faced with Valkyrie's provocation, Zhou Ye just smiled slightly, his figure flashed, and he disappeared from where he was—
"...No..." Valkyrie didn't even finish saying the words 'good' and 'bad' before she felt a pain in the back of her neck, and her whole body suddenly slumped down.
Two dark shadows suddenly appeared on her left and right, and before she could fall to the ground, they each grabbed her arm. It was Qiu and Zi, the two maids who had followed Zhou Ye.
"Alright... we can go see the Grandmaster now." Zhou Ye smiled slightly, turning his head to the welcoming lady who was stunned by this sudden change.
"Ah... okay, okay, please follow me..." The welcoming lady said, carefully leading Zhou Ye and his group towards the Grandmaster's hall.
Not long after... Zhou Ye and the others, led by the welcoming lady, arrived at the Grandmaster's hall.
"Boss, Mr. Zhou Ye has arrived..." The welcoming lady respectfully reported to the Grandmaster.
"Haha... my dear nephew-in-law... Er—!" When the Grandmaster heard the report, he stood up, opened his arms, and was about to embrace Zhou Ye when he was stunned by the people behind him.
Behind Zhou Ye were four beautiful women, some charming and alluring, others voluptuous and noble. This wasn't the main point.
For someone of his status, women were just decorations. Although Zhou Ye was technically his nephew-in-law, he had no interest in meddling in his niece's family affairs.
What truly astonished him was that Scavenger 142, who had just left his presence, was being supported by two beautiful girls wearing some kind of professional attire (maid outfits)... "This is...?"
"Oh, I took a fancy to this fellow... I think she's quite good, so I simply took her down, planning to take her back and train her properly." Zhou Ye said in a nonchalant manner, as if he were talking about what he had for breakfast this morning.
"But... she is... my scavenger here..." The Grandmaster said somewhat speechlessly.
"Isn't the rule here that you can seize your spoils by any means?" Zhou Ye said indifferently, "I remember that scavengers have no affiliation with you, do they?"
"...Mr. Zhou Ye is right, boss... The rules of Sakaar were set by you personally." Topaz had long disliked Scavenger 142. To her, this fellow was just a drunkard, a piece of trash... It would be great if her boss's nephew-in-law could take this trouble away.
"Ahem... alright, I was just asking casually." The Grandmaster abandoned the idea of standing up for Scavenger 142. He regained his smile: "It's been tens of thousands of years since I've seen her. Karina, that little girl, is actually married. How is she doing recently?"
"Very well, at least for now... Karina darling is very satisfied with her current life." Zhou Ye smiled and hugged the Grandmaster.
"That's really good news... By the way, dear, would you like to come with me to see my newly acquired gladiator?" The Grandmaster said with a smile, "That's a very interesting fellow. His hands can generate electricity, and he even calls himself a Thunder God..."
"I'm very interested, let's go see..."
The Grandmaster pulled Zhou Ye towards a side hall, introducing as they walked: "I'm planning to package that fellow a bit. You know—long hair can make people look a bit effeminate, which is very detrimental to the image I'm building for him..."
Chapter 693
Thor felt that he was currently facing the greatest crisis of his life—
At this moment, he was bound to a seat, which wasn't the main point. The main point was that next to him was an old fellow who looked like he was about to die of old age, holding a hideous and inhumane—like a large Swiss Army knife—electric razor...
"Try moving again? My hands aren't as steady as they used to be..." The old barber said with a smile.
"By Odin, you cannot touch my hair, or you will incur the wrath of the Thunder God!" Thor said seriously, trying to use his divine authority to force the old fellow back, but it was all in vain.
The old barber holding the electric razor answered him with the sound of the electric razor starting...
"Please... don't cut my hair, okay?" Thor, who had instantly become a coward, pleaded.
However, the old barber was unmoved. As the buzzing sound approached Thor, he really felt like he couldn't escape this time.
"Wow, wow, wow... is this the Thunder God Thor?" A teasing voice came, and the familiar voice made Thor feel like he had been struck by lightning. "It's you... the accomplice of the usurper."
"Don't say it so harshly." Zhou Ye said with a smile, "I'm just fulfilling the duty of a good man, helping my woman fulfill her greatest wish..."
"Do you know... because of your helping the tyrant, Asgard has fallen into unprecedented turmoil?" Seeing Zhou Ye, Thor forgot the greatest crisis of his life at this moment and questioned him.
"So what?" Zhou Ye shrugged his shoulders, saying indifferently: "Do I need to take any responsibility for Asgard? I am only responsible for my woman... You should be glad that if it weren't for Frigga pleading for you, you would have died just now..."
"Mom... why are you standing behind this guy...?" Only then did Thor see Frigga standing behind Zhou Ye, looking so young that he almost couldn't recognize her. Then, he also saw Sif, a comrade and friend who had fought alongside him. "Sif... why are you also...?"
"Thor…" Frigga looked at her son, feeling a mix of sadness and relief. If she hadn't unlocked certain knowledge, her husband might have killed their son upon meeting him. Although Thor could no longer return to inherit Odin's power and the throne, living peacefully here was a good enough ending.
However, she had no explanation for her son's questioning… But soon, she wouldn't have to worry about how to explain, because Zhou Ye had already wrapped his arm around her slender waist and said to Thor, "Your mother has become my woman…"
"This isn't real… Mom…" Thor was going crazy. He struggled desperately, trying to stand up and question Frigga… But it was futile. The look in his eyes as he stared at Frigga even contained a hint of pleading, begging her to deny Zhou Ye's words.
"…Thor… This… This is real." After Frigga said this, she felt completely drained. She lowered her head and leaned on Zhou Ye, not even daring to look at her son.
"…Liar… You're all lying to me…" Thor shouted madly, and currents of electricity as thick as thumbs surged through his body… But it was useless. The restraint on his neck vibrated slightly, and with a low hum, *zzzt*—he was electrocuted again.
"This is hilarious… The God of Thunder is actually afraid of electricity… This is the best joke of the year." Zhou Ye felt that this scene was too ironic… But thinking about it, it seemed to make sense. In the movie Thor 1, this guy was once stunned by Daisy's anti-wolf device, so it's normal for him to be stunned by this thing now… Is this the legendary other version of 'those who drown are those who know how to swim'?
"Darling, do you know this guy? Is he your friend?" Grandmaster had been quietly watching the interaction between the two, and only took the remote control in his hand when Thor broke free from the restraint chair. "Do you need me to release this guy?"
"No, we are not only not friends… on the contrary, we are enemies." Zhou Ye said with a smile, "So don't worry about me, and I am also very interested in your Contest of Champions…"
"Really?" Grandmaster's eyes lit up when he heard Zhou Ye's words. "Then, are you interested in watching this guy's performance together? Darling…"
"It would be an honor…" Zhou Ye smiled.
"Tonight, there will be a grand performance… I am now very much looking forward to how this little firecracker called Thunder Person will perform tonight." Seeing Thor's performance just now, Grandmaster was very much looking forward to the evening's show. For him… a long life needs to be filled with all kinds of interesting gambling, otherwise, wouldn't it be too difficult to endure.
"I am also very much looking forward to it…" Zhou Ye nodded and smiled.
"Topaz, arrange a comfortable room for my dear nephew-in-law. He needs to rest well now to prepare for the important program tonight." Grandmaster turned to his subordinate and said.
"Of course, your command." Topaz said, raising her hand slightly to Zhou Ye. "Please follow me…"
"Then, see you tonight…" Zhou Ye said, leading the women and following Topaz towards the guest room area specially for VIPs.
Chapter 694
In the sky—dark clouds covered the sun. Astride their winged steeds and fully armed, the sisters held the Dragonfang Swords, standard weapons from the Valkyrie legends, and launched a desperate charge towards the black-haired woman standing under the stone pillar, her expression somewhat ferocious.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment. She could even clearly see the sisters' target this time. The black-haired woman, known as the Goddess of Death, had deep hatred in her eyes, and she slowly threw the Nightsky Sword towards the sisters.
Here it comes… here it comes again… This time, I must prevent the tragedy from happening again. I can't watch my lover die in front of me again… Number 142 silently recited in her heart, observing the scene before her like a third party.
"Dodge… damn it, Vanessa, dodge…" Number 142 desperately shouted her lover's name, but even though she had used all her strength, she still couldn't stop it from happening…
She watched helplessly as her lover, Vanessa, used her chest to block the Nightsky Sword that was originally aimed at her. With a smile, she fell into her arms. Facing her lover's fading life, she was powerless…
"No————!!!!!"
Covered in sweat, Valkyrie finally struggled to wake up from the nightmare. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a completely unfamiliar ceiling… "I… where is this?"
"You are in the Grandmaster's luxury guest room." A strange male voice made Valkyrie instinctively reach for her waist, where her Dragonfang Sword should be… It was her weapon that she never left her side.
However, Valkyrie's hand touched nothing. Whether it was the weapon hanging on her waist or the equipment on her legs, everything was gone.
"Are you looking for these little toys?" Zhou Ye looked with interest at the last Valkyrie of Asgard, who was like a little wildcat, baring her fangs and claws at him, completely on guard. In front of him, there was a pile of odds and ends, including various high-tech gadgets and cold weapons like the Dragonfang Sword.
These numerous and seemingly useful small equipment were truly useless scraps for Zhou Ye.
"Now—!" Valkyrie temporarily gave up the idea of counterattacking. Although she didn't know how she fainted, she was sure that she was no match for the guy in front of her without any possessions. She stared at Zhou Ye with her eyes, and asked in a cold voice like frost: "Can you tell me… why is it me?"
"Because, you are special…" Zhou Ye said with a smile.
"Special? Where is the specialty?" Valkyrie laughed mockingly: "Do you like a female drunkard? Or… do you like a guy who can cut off your head at night at any time?"
Hmm—speaking of which, I haven't really encountered the drunkard attribute before..." Zhou Ye supported his chin with one hand, looking like he was seriously considering it. "Maybe there will be some nice surprises?"
"You can try..." Valkyrie raised an eyebrow, looking like she didn't care about the consequences. "Try and see if I'll cut your throat while you're ooxxing me..."
"My temper... I really have to try it today." Zhou Ye's expression changed. He temporarily gave up on taking out some of the things he had prepared. Admit defeat? That's not his style... Come on, let's hurt each other.
As he spoke, Zhou Ye leaped onto the large couch, directly about to pin Valkyrie down.
And Valkyrie didn't show any weakness either. Her right hand went straight for Zhou Ye's throat, her legs bent as much as possible, and when they were fully contracted... she kicked out with force, looking like she wanted to kick Zhou Ye into a state of life-long disability.
However, whether it was Valkyrie's outstretched hand or her kicked-out foot, they were both firmly pressed down by Zhou Ye's telekinesis... She was completely locked onto the couch by Zhou Ye in a spread-eagle position.
"Awoo..." Even though her limbs couldn't move for unknown reasons, Valkyrie didn't give up her intention to resist. She stretched her head out and bit towards Zhou Ye's neck...
With Zhou Ye's defense, would he care about her small bite force? Obviously, Zhou Ye didn't care at all... He let Valkyrie bite his neck, his hands busily working... In a few seconds, he completely disarmed Valkyrie.
"Don't..."
"I thought you would keep biting my neck. What, are you begging for mercy now? But, it's too late... little girl."
"I'll bite you to death..."
"You still dare to bite me... I..."
"Ah————!!! You bastard... I'm a first timer."
"Ah, sorry, sorry... Seeing how fierce you are, I couldn't help but cooperate with you a little."
"You bastard..."
Five hours later————————
In the Champion Show's annular arena, crowds surged... cheers, shouts, and a cacophony of voices filled the air... Bizarre-looking guys were everywhere.
"...Wonderful performance, beautiful night, are you ready?" The Grandmaster's three-dimensional projection, a full sixty meters high, stood in the center of the arena. Like a true host, he looked around at the audience and smiled: "I am your host, please give another round of warm applause to the challengers who are about to bring you joy with their lives..."
A spaceship flew over the arena... hovering in mid-air. Zhou Ye, holding a girl wrapped like a rice dumpling, sat on the deck of the spaceship... The enthusiastic atmosphere in the arena was indeed intoxicating. "The Grandmaster really knows how to play."
"That guy is just a madman..." Valkyrie, wrapped in sheets like a rice dumpling, curled her lips in disdain. Although her body had already surrendered... going against him had become a habit.
"Okay, even if he's a madman, he's a madman who has lived for a long time." Zhou Ye didn't argue with her... He wrapped his arms around Valkyrie's slender waist, like holding a large rag doll, and placed his head on her shoulder. "Hold the sheets tightly, I don't want my woman to be seen by so many people..."
"What would you do if I threw off the sheets on my body right now?" Valkyrie mischievously blew a breath lightly in Zhou Ye's ear, and said.
"I will kill everyone in this arena..."
"Really?" Valkyrie asked, somewhat eagerly.
"And then make sure you can't get out of bed for a whole year..." Zhou Ye's next sentence immediately extinguished Valkyrie's desire to cause trouble. She was definitely not afraid of that for a year... she was just pitying the civilians under her feet, that's right, she was pitying those bizarre civilians...
Zhou Ye smiled as he looked at the little girl in front of him who kept bickering with him, obediently wrapping the sheets around herself, and even wrapping a circle around him... This guy had completely surrendered, but... habitually always wanted to annoy him, to prove that she had not succumbed and was still constantly resisting... In fact, this was not strange at all. In Zhou Ye's view, Valkyrie's little tricks were just a disguised form of coquetry.
If she was really that kind of person, she wouldn't have been in a dry spell for so many years after her lover died... By the way, she used to be a lesbian, and her lover was also a Valkyrie.
"Next, let's start tonight's carnival..." As the Grandmaster began, the entire arena resounded with tidal waves of applause and cheers...
Chapter 695
The Grandmaster, who had finished hosting, walked out of the projection equipment...
"Huh? Where's my dear nephew-in-law?" The Grandmaster, who came to the VIP stands, did not see Zhou Ye's figure, only saw his women sitting here... He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is he not interested in the pre-show warm-up matches?"
"I'm sorry, Your Honorable Grandmaster, my master had a sudden idea to experience the charm of your Champion Show on the spot, so he temporarily decided to sit on the spaceship to watch your Champion Show..." The one answering the Grandmaster's question was one of Zhou Ye's little maids, Qiu.
"Hahaha... I see him." Coincidentally, under Topaz's guidance, the Grandmaster happened to see Zhou Ye sitting on the hovering spaceship, watching the Champion Show, and greeted him with a smile, and Zhou Ye also raised the wine bottle in his hand to salute him. "I have to say, the little guy really has good eyes. Although sitting in this luxurious viewing platform is very comfortable, if you want to experience the enthusiastic atmosphere on the spot, it's better to sit there..."
Speaking of which, the Grandmaster, who has lived for tens of millions of years, is really qualified to call Zhou Ye a little guy... He is very envious of Zhou Ye now. In his opinion, the location on the luxurious viewing platform is far inferior to the enthusiastic atmosphere on the spot. If it weren't for his subordinate Topaz's strong opposition, he might have driven his spaceship to sit in the best position like Zhou Ye to watch the Champion Show.
Just as Grandmaster waved goodbye to Zhou Ye, he suddenly noticed that the woman in Zhou Ye's arms, who was constantly feeding him wine with her beak, was his former subordinate, Scavenger Warrior Number 142.
"I didn't expect this little guy to be so good with women. But to be able to handle Little Karina, this little guy must be a very powerful fellow…"
Topaz looked at her nose, her nose at her mouth, and her mouth at her heart… She just pretended not to hear her boss's unreliable remarks. Speaking of which, it wasn't the first time she had heard such unreliable words from his mouth, and she was already used to it.
On the other side—Zhou Ye was snatching the delicious wine from Valkyrie's mouth… In the end, Zhou Ye was clearly a better player and completely sunk Valkyrie…
"Huff… Huff… Bastard, you cheated…" Valkyrie's face was flushed, and she was breathing rapidly… Her eyes sparkled, and she glared at Zhou Ye with a hint of shyness and anger…
It's no wonder she was so angry. This Zhou Ye, after realizing that attacking the upper body wasn't working, secretly attacked her lower body. It was really… ahem…
"This is really good wine…" Zhou Ye didn't care about Valkyrie's gaze at all. If gazes could kill, he would have died countless times already… His triumphant look made Valkyrie want to bite him to death… But, that was just a thought… there was no room for maneuver.
In the arena, the first warm-up match had already begun… It was a guy who looked no different from an ordinary human fighting a guy who was three meters tall with four arms…
As soon as the two started fighting, Zhou Ye shook his head in disappointment and sighed. These two guys were completely newbies who had just entered the arena, with no rhyme or reason to their movements… The only commendable thing was their determination to fight to the death.
In Zhou Ye's opinion, this battle was completely uninteresting. When the skills of the two were equal… what was being tested was the stamina and physical strength of both sides. On this point, the ordinary human was obviously at a great disadvantage…
Although this battle seemed very boring to Zhou Ye, the bloody battle process still aroused cheers from the audience…
The final winner, unsurprisingly, was the four-armed tribe who was three meters tall… As for that human? Here, the loser only has one ending, and that is—death.
"I told you, you came too early… These warm-up guys don't have anything good." Valkyrie looked at the disappointed expression on Zhou Ye's face with schadenfreude and mocked: "If you want to see a wonderful performance… you should come later… Oh, no, damn it… How can you be here… No… Damn it, get out… You, you want me to make a fool of myself in front of so many people?"
"Hmph… Don't worry, baby, as long as you cover your face, no one will be able to see what you look like when you embarrass yourself… That's for mocking me just now…" Zhou Ye said with a hint of triumph, continuing the movements under her skirt.
"Damn… Ugh…" Valkyrie could only helplessly cover her little face with her hands, letting the bad guy behind her… misbehave.
There were a total of four warm-up matches, averaging ten minutes each… This provided Zhou Ye with plenty of time, or rather, if there wasn't enough time, Zhou Ye would make the time sufficient… Time was just a toy in his hands.
"…Let us give the warmest applause to those challengers who use their lives to please you. Although they have this or that problem, their spirit is admirable… Wonderful performances, beautiful nights. I hope everyone, like me, has not made a wasted trip. Now, without further ado, let the main event begin…" Grandmaster's voice resounded throughout the arena again.
After the warm-up matches ended, a large number of spectators poured into the arena… They were all looking forward to tonight's main course—
"One is making his debut, but he looks promising. His special skill is electric shock. He is Thor from Asgard. The other is a familiar face with diamond-like skin and superb skills, Korg… Also, let me reveal a little secret to everyone. The two are very good friends off the court. What will be the outcome of this battle between friends? Please wait and see…"
As the Grandmaster introduced them, the atmosphere in the entire arena suddenly became heated… Everyone was cheering and discussing.
Schadenfreude is not only a shortcoming of carbon-based life, but all intelligent creatures have such inferiority. If it was just an ordinary championship challenge, everyone's interest would not be so high… It is precisely because the relationship between the two is annotated with the word "friend" that the atmosphere of the entire arena suddenly soared—
The audience was guessing what kind of performance the two would have in this colosseum, what kind of duel would appear? Will the desire for victory overcome friendship, or will friendship overcome the desire for survival?
The atmosphere in the entire amphitheater became a little heavy—everyone was waiting for the ending.
Chapter 696
Thor—With the introduction of the Grandmaster, he slowly walked out of the colosseum passage. At this time, he had lost his once proud and elegant long hair, replaced by a very ordinary crew cut.
To be honest, if he could cry, he really wanted to cry now. He has suffered too many changes during this period. He, who took over the throne, was successfully usurped by his sister… In prison, he also had indescribable things happen with his brother.
When escaping from Asgard, the two brothers were accidentally separated… After he fell on this sinful planet, he was caught by a group of strangely shaped alien natives as food. Until he was rescued by a strange woman, he hadn't even said thank you before he was caught by that guy and sent here…
But that wasn't the worst of it. The worst was... he actually saw his brother-in-law here. Cough, cough, although he really didn't want to admit it, the fact was right in front of him. Thor had to admit that Zhou Ye was indeed his brother-in-law. His brother-in-law was also followed by his mother... The two of them were... cough, cough, if he wasn't so thick-skinned, Thor would have collapsed at this moment.
However, the god of fate seemed to be playing with him. The first time he participated in this so-called Champion Show, his opponent was his roommate, a Kronan warrior, a rock man named Korg.
Thor put the hammer in his hand on the ground, and then put on his helmet... [I'm sorry, Korg, I have a reason to win... I must return to Asgard to save my people, my father, and my mother...]
The Grandmaster had privately promised Thor that as long as he won the championship, then... he could give him his freedom.
On the other side, the rock man Korg came out... and greeted Thor from a distance. "Hi, my friend... are we going to have a serious competition?"
"..." Thor was almost amused by Korg's words. These Kronan warriors were indeed brave in battle and had enormous strength... but their IQ was their weakness. "I'm sorry, dear friend, I have a reason to win..."
"Oh, oh... then okay, then I'll just admit defeat." Korg didn't get angry at all, raised his hands, and threw his weapon on the ground... looking like he was about to surrender.
The conversation between the two was transmitted throughout the circular arena through the arena's sound system. All the audience was silent at first, and then there was an uproar...
"Damn it... why did I think of sending this rock head up there?" The Grandmaster, sitting on the observation deck, couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead...
He was already starting to have a headache... If this continues, this show will be ruined.
Zhou Ye, sitting on the spaceship, couldn't help but chuckle... This situation was too unexpected. I didn't expect there to be such an operation... It seems that the Grandmaster is having a headache now, but it's understandable. Without the Hulk, the Grandmaster really lacks subordinates who can fight Thor. This rock head is probably the only decent guy in his hands.
"Okay... I think I might be able to add some fun to them..."
Valkyrie, who was weak all over, nestled in Zhou Ye's arms, curiously watching her man talking to himself... She couldn't help but ask: "What kind of fun are you going to add to them?"
"Of course... it's to teach him how to be a man." Zhou Ye said, putting Valkyrie, whom he was holding in his arms, on the spaceship deck, and disappeared in place in an instant.
"Bastard, just leaving me here alone, aren't you really afraid that I'll run away...?" Although Valkyrie complained about her man, she sadly discovered that even if Zhou Ye left her alone on the spaceship without any surveillance measures, she didn't have the slightest idea of running away... "Okay, I admit that I have been completely captured by this guy... Damn it, is the attraction of men to women so great?"
In the luxurious observation deck—the Grandmaster was at a loss, looking at the movement below the stage. This was different from what was agreed upon. Wasn't everyone supposed to be fighting for freedom? Why is this rock head so calm now?
According to the rules, Korg raised his hand to admit defeat, and he should announce Thor's victory, but in this situation, the Grandmaster didn't want Thor to win at all.
"I think, I might be able to help you solve this little trouble..." Zhou Ye's voice suddenly appeared in the Grandmaster's ear, startling him, but he couldn't care less about how Zhou Ye suddenly appeared. For him, whoever can solve the current problem is his savior. "Dear nephew-in-law... do you have any good ideas?"
"Let me go down and have some fun with them..." Zhou Ye just felt it was fun, and by the way, he wanted to complete a certain achievement, such as [Beat Up All the Brothers Achievement]...
"Are you really okay?" The Grandmaster wasn't worried about Zhou Ye, he was really afraid of accidentally hurting Zhou Ye, and then his niece, Little Karina, would bring the fleet to kill him and settle the score... In terms of family wealth, he really felt that he was not as good as Little Karina's Tevan Group.
"Boss, I believe Mr. is definitely okay." The Grandmaster didn't notice how Zhou Ye appeared beside him, but his loyal dog Topaz noticed that Zhou Ye suddenly appeared beside his boss. This speed... to say nothing else, it's definitely no problem to deal with the two rookies below.
"That's right, I feel like I should be able to easily clean up these two guys who blatantly violate the rules."
With the recommendation of his confidant and Zhou Ye's confident words, the Grandmaster, Gao Tianzun, finally made up his mind. "Then... what weapons do you need? I can let you bring some contraband weapons on stage..."
"No need... to deal with them, fists are enough." Zhou Ye smiled.
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — I am the dividing line of Zhou Ye personally going down — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
[Dear friends, I am very sad today to see that someone has violated the rules of the Champion Show and made a despicable transaction in this sacred arena... As the creator, owner, and host of the Champion Show, I absolutely cannot tolerate such dishonorable things happening in the arena, so... I decided to send a punisher to punish them... As long as they can stand in front of the punisher for five minutes, then... I will declare their transaction valid and recognize Thor's championship qualification.]
Should I say, as expected of the Grandmaster? He very easily stirred up the emotions of the audience in the arena. He didn't mention anything about the victory of friendship, and the audience seeking excitement selectively forgot about that topic. Damn it, if you guys aren't fighting, what are we doing here watching? Who cares about the victory of friendship?
"Ooh—kill that rock head…"
"Kill them—long live the Punisher…"
"Waste these two disgraces of the arena…"
The audience's shouts rose higher and higher… They frantically screamed, telling them to kill Thor and the Rock Man… This sudden change also caused Thor and Korg to grip their weapons tightly… The Punisher? What exactly could that be?
Chapter 697
[Let us welcome our Punisher with enthusiastic applause!]
Following the Grandmaster's voice, the entire arena fell into a frenzy…
"Kill those two bastards wasting our time…"
"Kill them…"
"We came to see a championship match… not to watch two bastards display their bromance here…"
The shouts from the audience put enormous pressure on Thor and Korg… Unconsciously, the two stood side by side, gripping their weapons, their eyes warily searching their surroundings, as if looking for the so-called Punisher who might suddenly appear before them.
However, the Punisher didn't suddenly appear behind them, or on either side… Instead, he walked out openly from the passage directly in front of them.
"How—it's him…" Seeing the figure walking out of the passage unhurriedly, Thor couldn't help but widen his eyes. If possible, he really didn't want to face this guy…
"You know him?" Korg looked at the thin figure walking towards them, somewhat unsure why Thor was so afraid… In his opinion, although this person looked taller than Thor, he didn't have the powerful muscles like Thor. He looked just like a frail ordinary person…
"Don't underestimate this guy… He's very powerful." Thor still remembered the fear when his hammer was taken away by Zhou Ye.
Seeing Zhou Ye walking out of the passage, the originally deafening cheers in the arena instantly died down…
In the eyes of these guys in the arena, a large size often represented strength, and strength represented power. Obviously, although Zhou Ye was tall and slender and handsome… he clearly didn't fit their understanding of power.
Zhou Ye was completely oblivious to the silence he caused. If he didn't want to achieve certain goals, he wouldn't have entered the arena himself…
"Seeing me, are you surprised? Are you delighted?" Zhou Ye smiled and walked towards Thor…
"You… why did you come?" Thor tightened his grip on the hammer in his hand. Although this two-handed great hammer was not as good as his original Mjolnir, it was better than nothing, and it could bring him some comfort.
"Hmm—of course, it's to add some excitement to this championship battle." Zhou Ye put his hands in his pockets, looking leisurely. "Who told you two that your battle didn't bring the excitement these guys in the arena wanted? As a guest who considers things for the host, I have an unavoidable duty to enter the arena and add some fun highlights to this battle…"
"Ah, right… Speaking of which, this pile of rocks is your friend, right?" Zhou Ye turned his gaze to Korg as he spoke. "It was him who ruined my mood while watching the battle. I originally thought it would be a wonderful collision between friendship and desire, but this pile of rocks is completely useless…"
"What do you want to do?" Thor looked at Zhou Ye warily.
"I don't want to do anything. A gladiator who admits defeat in the arena has no value in living, so…" Zhou Ye smiled slightly at Korg, and waved his hand as if chasing away a fly: "Could you please go die?"
Following Zhou Ye's actions… Korg froze on the spot—
"No…" Thor looked at Korg's stiff body. Although he didn't know what had happened to his friend, an ominous premonition filled his heart. "Korg… Korg, what exactly happened to you?"
Korg didn't respond to Thor's question, as if he hadn't heard it.
"Korg…" Thor couldn't help but gently pat Rock Man Korg's arm… Instantly, Korg's body shattered into a pile of stone powder as if it had suffered an incredible heavy blow… "No—!!!"
The entire arena was silent—everyone held their breath. Although Rock Man Korg died as they wished, at this moment, they didn't feel excited or thrilled at all—if they had to use an adjective to describe their mood at this moment, they only felt… terrifying—horrifying—thrilling.
Zhou Ye's methods had surpassed their understanding of power—
And the Grandmaster, sitting in the luxurious viewing platform, also widened his eyes, his mouth unable to close for a long time… He couldn't believe what he was seeing. "This… this… this…"
"Terrible…" After a long while, Topaz, the Grandmaster's loyal dog, squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
They turned their gazes to the seats occupied by Zhou Ye's women, tacitly wanting to hear their explanations… But obviously, they were disappointed. Lorelei and Frigga and Sif had only been with their man for a short time, and they didn't know much about their man's abilities, but this didn't prevent their eyes from being filled with pride when they looked at their man…
However, the two female servants, Qiu and Zi, who had been following Zhou Ye for a long time, had no intention of explaining to them. Why would they explain their man's abilities to outsiders? They weren't fools, why would they do something like that...…
Not to mention the Grandmaster and his loyal dog Topaz, who felt extremely disappointed for not getting an answer, let's talk about Thor, who lost his friend in the blink of an eye.
[Hehehe... look here, isn't this a pile of stones... stones have life, isn't it ridiculous... I'm called Korg...]" This was Thor's first meeting with Korg.
[It sounds like you and your hammer have some unspeakable relationship...]" This was acquaintance.
[If that's the case, I admit defeat...]" This was—friend.
"You... you've really annoyed me..." Thor's hands, gripping the hammer tightly, bulged with veins, and he stared at Zhou Ye with his eyes fixed. "You've really annoyed me... making my father faint, usurping my throne... occupying my mother... kid, you've really succeeded in annoying me, an Asgardian god."
"Oh? So what?" Zhou Ye tilted his head slightly and asked casually: "Are you going to beat me to death?"
"Bear the wrath of the Thunder God." Thor leaped up more than ten meters, raised the giant hammer in his hands, and smashed it down at Zhou Ye... This hammer seemed to have the force of a thousand pounds, like Mount Tai pressing down, giving people a feeling of invincibility.
A low cry rang out in the entire arena... Most of these cries were from those alien girls who cared about appearance, worrying about Zhou Ye. Liking handsome guys isn't the exclusive right of Earth girls.
However, the next scene made everyone stand up in disbelief...…
Thor, who used all his strength to smash the hammer in his hands towards Zhou Ye, froze in mid-air as if the picture was frozen... No, he didn't freeze in mid-air, but, his giant hammer was easily caught by Zhou Ye with one hand. If someone paid attention to Zhou Ye's feet, they would find that this guy was slightly suspended in mid-air at this moment, and the soles of his feet were a few centimeters away from the ground.
Chapter 698
The wind pressure brought by Thor's hammer, which he smashed down with all his strength, blew Zhou Ye's clothes, making them flutter... Centered on Zhou Ye, a large circular open space was blown out... But, that was all.
Zhou Ye didn't even take out his right hand that was in his pocket, he just used one left hand to take this move from Thor.
"Is this the Thunder God's wrath?" Zhou Ye tilted his head and looked at Thor, who was tightly gripping the hammer handle, and joked: "It really disappoints me...…
"Then try this move!" Thor let go of the hammer, and took out the double swords he was carrying behind his back, and slashed towards Zhou Ye...…
Zhou Ye didn't even bother to say any more nonsense, he just used the hammer that Thor had already abandoned in his hand and swept it... [Boom—]The hammer handle directly swept Thor away.
But this wasn't the end. Zhou Ye threw the hammer in his hand, flashed, and directly caught up with Thor, who had been knocked into the air. He grabbed Thor's head with one hand and slammed it towards the ground...…
A long crack, like a scar, suddenly appeared on the ground of the circular arena—at the end of this crack was Thor, whose head had been pressed into the ground by Zhou Ye...…
"Told you to act cool... Told you to always show off your muscles for no reason..." Zhou Ye muttered while stomping on Thor's head...…
"Punisher—Punisher—Punisher—Punisher——!!" The entire arena couldn't help but start calling out Zhou Ye's temporary position... Although Zhou Ye's methods at the beginning made them a little scared, but later, Zhou Ye's actions really suited their taste.
The cheers were like a deafening tsunami...…
And Thor at this time—had already fallen into a coma. In a trance—he saw the figure of his father, Odin.
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — I am the dividing line of Thor in a coma — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
"Father... I, I really tried my best... I can't beat him." Thor knelt in front of his father in frustration, and said exhaustedly: "If my hammer was in my hand...…
"Thor... are you the God of Hammers?" Odin asked.
"...…...…." Thor was speechless.
"That hammer is to let you control your power, to make you more focused, it is not the source of your power..." Odin said.
"Father... if I can make good use of my power... then can I defeat that guy?" Thor sought confidence from his father. He had almost been beaten into a psychological shadow by Zhou Ye. Facing Zhou Ye, he couldn't see any possibility of winning.
"No..." Odin was silent for a while, and then said: "My son, even if you inherit the power of Odin, you still can't defeat that guy... He is an existence outside the norm, he is a variable in the entire universe...…
"...…Then what's the point of you doing this?" Thor said dejectedly.
"Yes, to let you live well even after you leave the shelter of Asgard...…" Odin's figure became fainter and fainter. "Asgard... is no longer suitable for you and your brother Loki, leave Asgard and the Nine Realms far away...… My child, all I can do for you is this...…
Looking at his father's increasingly faint figure, Thor's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger...…
"No—Father...…" With this scream, Thor woke up— — — — —
"Wow whoa wow"
"Wow… Not bad at all." Zhou Ye couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at Thor at that moment.
Thor, who had been slammed into the ground by Zhou Ye, was now surrounded by currents of electricity as thick as a child's arm, making him look incredibly brave and extraordinary. Although his clothes were tattered and he looked a bit embarrassed, it didn't affect his appearance at all.
"Feel the wrath of thunder…" Thor felt that at this moment, his whole body was full of power, and he was like a newborn… Although his father Odin had told him that even if he truly possessed his own power, he would not be able to defeat Zhou Ye, Thor still felt unwilling to not try.
Following Thor's loud shout, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket fell from the sky and struck towards Zhou Ye…
The intense white light that accompanied the lightning caused everyone in the arena to involuntarily close their eyes… This did not include Thor. At this moment, Thor's eyes had turned the same color as the lightning… To Thor, the intense light produced by the lightning could not affect his vision at all… In his vision… the lightning didn't even touch Zhou Ye.
"This… How is this possible? Is this guy's speed faster than lightning?" Thor had a feeling of disbelief… You must know that the speed of lightning is the speed of light…
"Is lightning the fastest speed for you? You really lack imagination…" Zhou Ye's voice sounded in Thor's ear again, accompanied by… Zhou Ye grabbing his wrist again…
Bang—Bang—Bang————
The action of slamming him around like a rag doll allowed Thor to experience the taste that Loki had tasted before, and he finally understood why his younger brother Loki felt pain in all his bones whenever he mentioned Zhou Ye… In fact, Zhou Ye had already created a psychological shadow in his mind.
In his self-proclaimed strongest state, being beaten up by Zhou Ye like an adult beating a child, all of Thor's ambitions were beaten away by this series of slams… What inheritance of the throne? What saving the people of Asgard? To him… these were unattainable things. Because Zhou Ye was an insurmountable chasm in front of him. Facing Zhou Ye, he only felt deep despair…
"Maybe… living here and waiting for death for the rest of my life is my best choice." This was Thor's last thought before he passed out.
Facing Thor, who had completely lost his fighting spirit, Zhou Ye nodded in satisfaction. This was the effect he wanted…
Because of Frigga, Zhou Ye couldn't really kill Thor, but letting him cause trouble for himself in the future was not Zhou Ye's style, so… completely disintegrating his fighting spirit was Zhou Ye's true purpose.
Thor, without fighting spirit, was just a salted fish… Zhou Ye no longer had to worry that this guy would treat his mercy as capital for his own death like an unkillable cockroach… and constantly cause him trouble.
However, as Zhou Ye expected, Thor, who was in the low point of his life, completely fell into the gentle embrace prepared for him by the Grandmaster. Fine wine, delicacies… the Grandmaster provided him with all kinds of beautiful women. Except for having to fight a championship match from time to time and not being able to leave Sakaar, he was very satisfied with his life… Of course, this is a story for later.
Chapter 699
"Are you really not staying on Sakaar for a while longer?" Facing Zhou Ye who was about to leave, the Grandmaster looked like he was enthusiastically trying to persuade him to stay. In fact, he couldn't wait for Zhou Ye to leave here immediately.
After all, Zhou Ye, to him, was an uncontrollable bomb… No matter how confident he was in the armed forces in his hands, he felt helpless in the face of Zhou Ye's super-spec personal strength.
Fortunately, he instinctively felt that he and Zhou Ye were on the same side. After all, there was still some kinship between the two, which reduced his fear of Zhou Ye a lot…
Even so, when Zhou Ye said goodbye to him, his heart was filled with joy.
"Hehe… I have other things to do, so I won't bother you anymore." Zhou Ye smiled slightly as he looked at the undisguised joy on the Grandmaster's face. To be honest, he really didn't like this so-called Sakaar. It didn't have rare minerals, and it didn't have economic development. What was the use of coming here?
Just as Zhou Ye was about to board the spaceship with the women, the Grandmaster said a little embarrassedly: "Don't forget what I asked you to do…"
"I won't forget…" Zhou Ye smiled slightly, waved goodbye to the Grandmaster, and boarded his spaceship.
"Honey, what did you promise this guy?" Lorelei asked curiously. The women also focused their attention on their man. In their opinion, their man rarely promised to help a man do things… This was not in line with their man's personality at all.
"It's nothing… I just promised to help him find a beautiful woman from Asgard…" Zhou Ye replied casually, but the women looked disbelieving. What was their man's personality? Once a beautiful woman fell into his hands, did she still want to go out? Was that a dream?
Faced with the women's doubts, Zhou Ye shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
The Grandmaster asked him to help find beautiful women not for his own enjoyment, but for his breeding plan. As for Asgardian beauties? Don't be ridiculous, how could Zhou Ye possibly give him a real Asgardian beauty? A Frost Giant beauty is more like it... Hmm, hmm, it's decided then.
Meanwhile, Loki was also welcoming the peak of his life.
Sanctuary - within Thanos' domain...
Thanos, sitting on his throne, propped his chin with his hand and looked with interest at the guy who had drifted into his sanctuary through a wormhole by accident, and slowly said, "From your narration... I've discovered something very interesting, Loki..."
"Oh? Esteemed Thanos, I wonder what the interesting thing you speak of is?" Loki bowed slightly in front of Thanos, speaking cautiously.
Although the two were allied due to belonging to the same evil forces, Thanos easily suppressed Loki in terms of power... Therefore, although the two were said to be allies, Loki was actually playing the role of a pawn in front of Thanos...
"My friend, Tivan, obtained some interesting information from your narration." Thanos said, looking at Tivan standing aside. This guy seemed to be doing pretty well; it seemed he had temporarily escaped the fate of being exiled by his daughter.
Receiving Thanos' signal, Tivan came to Loki's front, took out a spherical object the size of a ping-pong ball from his pocket, and after manipulating it slightly with his fingertips, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Loki, a three-dimensional projection of a handsome golden-haired, golden-eyed teenager.
"Dear ally, is this the guy you said easily grabbed your brother's weapon and tossed you around like a rag doll?"
"...It's him!" Seeing Zhou Ye's three-dimensional projection, Loki's eyes couldn't help but shrink. He swore that even if Zhou Ye turned to ashes, he would still recognize this guy.
You must know that experience truly gave him a feeling he would never forget... It was too humiliating, at least for Loki, who often considered himself a god.
"It seems... the Power Stone really fell into his hands." Tivan nodded and turned to Thanos, saying, "When I went to find the Power Stone, the planet hiding the Orb had already disappeared... After comparison and analysis, we determined that the planet was destroyed by someone using the power of the Power Stone, especially since this guy didn't used to be known for his strength, but now he can easily catch the weapon forged from the core of a dying star... I think the Power Stone has fallen into his hands."
"Who is this guy?" To be honest, Loki still didn't know what this guy who had left him with such painful lessons was called.
"Him? He's called Zhou Ye... a despicable robber - a base and shameless swindler - a shameless gigolo..." If Tivan had anything good to say about Zhou Ye, it would truly be a miracle.
"It seems this Zhou Ye must owe you a lot of money..." Although Loki also hated Zhou Ye to the bone, he was never one to wear his emotions on his sleeve. Besides, seeing someone more unlucky than himself was also a pleasing thing.
"Alright..." Thanos interrupted their conversation; to him, such conversations were meaningless. "Loki, are you willing to retrieve the Orb I need from this guy's hands?"
"I am very willing to serve you, esteemed Thanos." Loki said, a troubled expression on his face. "However, I'm afraid I'm powerless against this guy... After all, I really can't beat this guy called Zhou Ye, and - now his wife, my good-for-nothing sister, has successfully usurped the throne, and I'm going to face the entire Asgard."
"Regarding that, you don't need to worry." Thanos smiled slightly, signaling a guy in full combat armor next to him to hand over what he was holding to Loki... It was a scepter inlaid with a blue gem.
"This is..." Loki, receiving the scepter, immediately felt a power from the scepter that was enough to destroy everything.
"That guy's power comes from the Orb... and the power on this scepter is the same, these two powers can cancel each other out..." Thanos looked at Loki's delighted expression, then continued, "As for the Asgardian armed forces you're worried about, you can hand them over to our allies, the Chitauri. Their fleet and army have already completed all combat mobilizations and are ready to depart at any time..."
Thanos looked at the somewhat surprised expression on Loki's face and said, "Don't worry, when things are successful, you will become the new King of Asgard, and all I need... is just the Orb."
"Deal..." Although Loki knew that there was no free lunch in the world, it was impossible to do anything without paying a price. It all depended on whether the price paid was proportional to the reward obtained. To him, this deal was more cost-effective.
"Then - let's begin." Thanos forced an extremely ugly smile. Everyone seemed to be in a very good mood. They seemed to foresee the time when they would dominate the universe was coming.
Chapter 700
"Why have you never told me... that your women also include this damn old hag..." Valkyrie glared fiercely at Zhou Ye, and the Dragon Fang Sword, which she hadn't used for a long time, was already in her hand, giving off the feeling that she would start a fight at the slightest disagreement.
"Watch your words, Valkyrie, in what capacity are you questioning our man?" Hela, wearing a triple crown, didn't care about Valkyrie's hostility. To her, what was Valkyrie? If her own man wasn't interested in her, it wouldn't even take a few seconds to kill her. "Besides, I am now the Queen of Asgard, is this how you face your Queen? What about the oath you made when you joined the Valkyries?"
"I - will never submit to you... Hela, even if you have become the Queen of Asgard, I will never acknowledge you..." Valkyrie's eyes widened, saying word by word.
"That's a pity then..." Hela didn't mind Valkyrie's hatred. "Originally, I wanted to introduce some old friends to you... It seems there's no chance."
"Put away your hypocritical face, I will never give in." Valkyrie said, turning to look at her man. "Me or her, we are absolutely irreconcilable, make your choice..."
"Yes, darling, come on, make your choice, let this silly girl see who has a higher place in your heart?" Hela also turned to Zhou Ye with interest and asked.
Zhou Ye couldn't help but have a headache. What were these two silly girls trying to do? Valkyrie was making a fuss because her sisters and lover had died at Hela's hands. This kind of hatred wasn't easy to let go of... But Hela was also making a scene with him, obviously wanting to see him make a fool of himself.
"I said, are you two done yet... Are you trying to test the family law?" Zhou Ye glared and said.
Valkyrie and Hela both shrank back a little sheepishly. Valkyrie was really a little afraid of Zhou Ye... After all, because of her initial lack of cooperation, she had suffered a lot. But the hatred in her heart for Hela made her unwilling to give in, and she stubbornly stuck out her neck, looking as if she would fight Hela to the end even if it meant suffering family law.
Hela wasn't as stubborn as Valkyrie... Valkyrie hadn't been with her man for very long and didn't understand the power of the Zhou family's law, but she had witnessed it... [Don't be so happy now, I'll make you pull up a list later.] With the idea that a good queen doesn't suffer immediate losses, Hela decisively admitted defeat. "Honey... I was just seeing Valkyrie so excited and cooperating with her. The sisters all know that I'm not a jealous woman..."
"..." Zhou Ye glared at Hela. If it weren't for the fact that Hela had just taken over Asgard and was busy with government affairs, he would definitely let this little queen, who feared nothing more than a peaceful world, experience the terror of family law.
However, since Hela had obviously admitted defeat, that only left Valkyrie. "What about you? What will it take for you to reconcile with Hela?"
"Want me to reconcile with her?" Valkyrie, facing her man's question, wanted to say [That's impossible], but seeing her man's increasingly dark face, she couldn't bring herself to say those words. "Unless... unless my sisters can come back to life, unless Vanessa can be resurrected..."
"Are you sure? Valkyrie..." Zhou Ye asked back with an unhappy expression, "Are you sure you want to say such definitive words? Only if time is reversed and people are resurrected will you reconcile with Hela?"
"I'm sure..." Valkyrie gritted her teeth, glaring at Zhou Ye without giving in at all. "Even if you want to punish me with that so-called family law, I will still say this and do this..."
The other women sitting around in the hall were all watching this scene with smiles, and even Hela, one of the parties involved, was watching Valkyrie courting death with a smug look...
"...You guys really know how to give me difficult problems." Zhou Ye sighed...
Speaking of which, it was also his fault for completely ignoring the deadly rivalry between Hela and Valkyrie and actually letting them meet so early. This was really... a tragedy.
When he brought the women on the spaceship to Asgard, Hela and the women came out to greet him. As a result, the two women broke out in conflict as soon as they met.
Valkyrie called Hela [Old Hag].
Hela called Valkyrie [A groveling worm].
Neither woman would give in, and their war continued from the palace's landing pad all the way to the bedroom... Zhou Ye hadn't been this angry in a long time.
Fortunately, Zhou Ye had considered that the two women would have such a conflict when he went to subdue Valkyrie, so he had made some relevant preparations... "Then... Valkyrie, are you saying that as long as your sisters are resurrected, you will willingly accept family law and reconcile with Hela?"
"..." Valkyrie felt like something was wrong with this sentence, but it didn't matter. Anyway, it was impossible for people to be resurrected, and she didn't mind appearing even more straightforward to show her determination to never bow her head. "That's right, that's how it is."
"Okay, since you're so determined...!" Zhou Ye pretended to shake his head in disappointment. Another lost lamb had fallen into his trap.
When Valkyrie saw Zhou Ye's expression, her heart couldn't help but clench. Could it be that this bastard really wanted to give up on her? Just because she refused to bow her head... The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt, and her eyes were filled with tears, but her little face wore a stubborn smile as she stared at Zhou Ye, her silver teeth biting her lower lip tightly, unwilling to let the tears in her eyes fall...
"Huff--forget it..." Seeing Valkyrie's appearance, Zhou Ye couldn't bear to tease her anymore... "Come out, Vanessa..."
"What------------!!" When Valkyrie heard her man's words, she was completely stunned... She even wondered if there was something wrong with her ears. Why did she hear her man calling Vanessa's name? Was it the same person? Was it really her? Hadn't she already died?
As Zhou Ye's voice fell... a group of beautiful girls wearing Valkyrie costumes walked in from outside. Walking in the front was a beautiful girl with long golden hair... That face she had thought about day and night, that incomparably familiar posture...
"Clang--" With a sound, Valkyrie could no longer hold the Dragon Fang Sword in her hand... She looked at the Valkyries walking towards her in disbelief. "...Vanessa... Am I, am I dreaming?"
"Of course you're not dreaming... dear." Vanessa gently walked up to Valkyrie, raised her hands, and cupped her little face. "I'm alive again, and the sisters are alive again..."
"This...this is impossible...I saw with my own eyes..." Valkyrie looked at her former lover in disbelief...
"Saw me close my eyes in your arms, right?" Vanessa winked playfully at Valkyrie. "That's right... I was indeed dead at that time, but my soul was sucked into Hela's Night Sky Sword... You know, her weapon..."
"Of course I know..." Valkyrie was from the same era as Hela. Hela had also originally used Thor's Hammer, but... later, she felt that the Night Sky Sword was more suitable for her. The Night Sky Sword could transform all the people Hela killed into some kind of energy stored in the sword. According to Hela's needs, it could transform or split... Each split of the Night Sky Sword was the soul of someone Hela had killed... Or, it could be said that the Night Sky Sword had as many splits as Hela had killed people...
"Sister Hela used the Eternal Flame to restore our souls..." Vanessa explained, "But dear used the great power of time and the power of technology to recreate our bodies... We are completely resurrected..."
"Wait a minute..." Valkyrie finally realized that something was wrong. "Why do you call Hela sister? And... the dear in your mouth, shouldn't be this bastard...?"
