Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

If Dargo is a taciturn and unknown figure, then Saul is a popular celebrity.

The name Asgard is not unfamiliar to many races in the Milky Way.

That was a powerful civilization that once swept across the universe with its military might.

As the crown prince, Saul himself possesses a legendary aura.

More importantly, many of the spectators present had personally witnessed Thor's matches in the arena on Sakaar.

On Sakaar, Thor fought his way to the championship title.

He is savage, powerful, and destructive.

His fighting style is very popular among gamblers.

At that moment, the odds shifted dramatically, and massive amounts of Star Credits were frantically poured into buying Thor.

Thor also thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.

He raised his Stormbreaker, twirled it twice in front of him, and pointed it directly at Dago opposite him.

"Asgardians never fear any challenge."

"No matter who you are, today you will be defeated by my thunder!"

The Celestial Venerable looked at the two men locked in a tense standoff and smiled excitedly.

"Both teams are in position! Now, let's see what interesting battlefield the audience has chosen for you!"

A giant holographic counter was spinning wildly in mid-air.

Finally, accompanied by the notification sound indicating the vote was locked, the Grandmaster loudly announced:

"Terrain confirmed! Shattered Star Core - Lava Hell!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the arena transformed into a different scene.

Thor and Dago find themselves on a planet on the verge of collapse.

Beneath their feet lay churning, roaring, high-temperature magma, with countless massive, dark red rocks floating like isolated islands on the lava lake.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur and terrifyingly high temperatures that could instantly dry an ordinary person.

Lava erupted intermittently, spewing out columns of fire hundreds of meters high.

"A friendly reminder to both esteemed contestants!"

With a mischievous grin on his face, the Celestial Venerable explained loudly:

"The red liquid beneath your feet is no ordinary lava. It is infernal lava mixed with 'Eternal Fire'."

"Once even a single drop gets on your skin, it will burn your body like a leech."

"And as time goes on, its temperature will rise higher and higher until it melts you all completely. Have fun!"

The projection disappeared amidst arrogant laughter.

Thor frowned slightly upon hearing the words "Eternal Flame," but quickly regained his confident smile.

He landed steadily on a huge floating rock.

The high temperature was not a threat to his divine physique, but he could feel that the gravity here was much greater than on Earth. He moved around quickly to let his body adapt to the gravity.

On the other hand, Dago remained as steady as ever, with his hands behind his back.

The rolling heatwaves couldn't even lift a corner of his clothes.

"Hey, big guy," Thor grinned and shouted, "Don't you think it's a bit hot in here? Maybe you should take advantage of my good mood now, admit defeat, and go back to Thanos's crappy ship to enjoy the air conditioning."

Dago's face remained expressionless as he coldly replied, "God? I have enslaved thousands upon thousands of beings like you who call themselves gods. In my eyes, gods are nothing more than slightly stronger slaves."

Thor's face darkened; he hated it most when people belittled the glory of Asgard.

"Then you'll experience what it's like to be a slave under this thunder!"

Thor roared and leaped into the air.

His muscle memory was instantly activated, and he instinctively wanted to throw the battle axe as usual, letting it deliver a fatal blow to the enemy with overwhelming force.

But just before he was about to sell it, memories of losing the artifacts one after another flashed through his mind.

Instinctively, he gripped the axe handle tightly with all five fingers.

This led to an extremely comical scene.

Thor's men were sent flying along with Stormbreaker.

And because he gripped the handle tightly, the battle axe was unable to spin and accelerate in the air.

It not only lost its original impact force, but also had to drag Saul, a muscular man weighing several hundred pounds, along.

What was originally a majestic and awe-inspiring thunderous assault turned into a clumsy glide.

Dago watched as Thor charged straight at him like a clumsy bear, without moving an inch.

When Thor slowly flew up to him, Dago expressionlessly extended a hand.

"Smack."

Dago's large hand gripped the handle of the Stormbreaker Axe.

Thor's charge came to an abrupt halt.

He and Dago were less than half a meter apart at that moment.

Both of them held Stormbreaker in their hands, their eyes meeting.

Thor could even see the texture of Dago's rock-like skin and his emotionless, scarlet eyes.

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

Thor's lips twitched.

To cover his embarrassment, he gave a dry laugh: "Hey, buddy. You have a good grip, you must work out a lot, right?"

Dago stared at him coldly, speechless.

Just now, if the master hadn't given a clear instruction, telling him not to let Thor lose too badly and to save face for Earth, he would have been in trouble.

Based on Thor's clumsy and flawed charge just now, he would have killed this Asgardian fool eight times over.

"Just kidding." Thor's eyes flashed with electricity.

Thunderbolt strikes!

Rumble—!

With the Storm Axe's power, terrifying lightning descended from the sky, striking directly at their location.

A blinding white light instantly engulfed the rock where the two were, and the shattered rocks mixed with lightning fell into the lava lake below, stirring up waves of fire.

The audience immediately erupted in cheers.

"Well done! A direct hit!"

"That stone-faced guy should be electrocuted to a crisp now!"

"Thor truly lives up to his title as the God of Thunder; this tactic is brilliant—deliberately getting close and then unleashing his ultimate attack!"

Amidst the billowing dust and lightning, Darkseid decisively chose to let go and retreat.

But not now.

In this universe, he cannot obtain replenishment from the dark divinity.

The Omega energy within him diminishes with every bit he uses.

Then his massive body displayed an agility completely disproportionate to its size, and he moved backward as if by teleportation.

Saul was greatly encouraged when he saw Dago retreat.

"What's wrong? Weren't you going to treat God like a slave? Why are you running away!" Thor laughed loudly. "Where did your arrogance go?"

Thor decided to press his advantage.

He roared, and dazzling lightning erupted from his body.

Lightning clung to his body like armor, and he charged forward once more.

The Storm Axe swung wildly, accompanied by a thunderous roar, hacking and slashing.

Dago still had his hands behind his back.

Before becoming the God King, his greatest skill was physical combat, which allowed him to crush everything.
