American Comics: The Matrix

"Valkyrie, Luma and I are planning something big, do you want to come and listen?" Bant asked.

"Tell me about it," she asked.

So Bant picked out a part of his plan and told Valkyrie about it.

Valkyrie is just a scavenger now. She is not on the same side as the Red King, and she doesn't care who rules Sakaar.

But after hearing Bant's plan, she was still surprised at his audacity.

But she changed her mind and felt that this plan might actually succeed.

The brutal Red King has already displeased too many people on this planet. Now his military force is enough to suppress everything, but once he reveals his weakness, he will be immediately backlashed.

"Valkyrie, I know you don't want to have anything to do with Asgard, but I'm not an Asgardian, and Sakaar isn't Asgard either. Instead of being a dirty scavenger under the rule of the Red King, why not join us? Then you won't have to pay for as much wine as you want."

Valkyrie pinched her chin, as if considering whether it was worthwhile to help Bant. After so many years, she felt more like a businessman than a warrior.

"In fact, if you tell the Red King about your plan, I can also have endless wine... But you're lucky, I just don't like people like Anmo Yashan." She stretched out her hand and shook Bant's, indicating that the two had reached an agreement.

"Also, my name is Brunhilde."

Meanwhile, in the Red King's palace.

Anmo Yashan had a grim look on his face.

Kaila stood beside him expressionlessly, like a puppet.

However, she still spoke to comfort him, "Princess Luma loves fighting very much. It is inevitable that she will be angry if Your Majesty secretly does something to her."

"That wasn't me!"

The Red King even felt a little aggrieved.

But he had done this so many times before that even Keila didn't believe him.

In response to his defense, Kaila said: Oh, yes, yes, it wasn't you, it was the other person who pretended to twitch and lay on the ground.

She didn't say it out loud, but from her expression, the Red King knew that Kaila didn't believe what he said at all.

He was so angry that he was shaking all over. If it were someone else, he would have executed the other person long ago.

But Kaila was the most powerful warrior in his command, and he couldn't do that. Losing Kaila would be like cutting off one of his arms.

He couldn't kill Kaila or Luma, but he could at least kill Bant!

"That Taizoman must die!"

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "Let him go to the Giant Stomach in the second match. I will broadcast it live worldwide so that everyone can see what happens to those who disobey me!"

"You mean, giant stomach?"

Hearing this, Kaila was shocked.

But the Red King sneered: "Not just the giant stomach," he turned his head and glanced at Kaila, "but also you, bring the Crown of Death, you must get rid of him completely!"

"But, as for Princess Luma..." Kaila hesitated.

The terrible monsters in the giant stomach, plus her, the strongest warrior of the Phantom Clan, and the Crown of Death, this lineup is enough to attack some planets.

Are they really going to such extreme lengths to get rid of the hacker?

"Do as I say!"

The Red King ordered grimly.

Kaila was helpless. Although she had greater power than the Red King, she was also equipped with a submission disk in her body and had no way to disobey the Red King.

Only after she left the palace did the Red King sneer.

Still not enough!

He knew clearly that as a villain, he could not give his opponent any chance to survive.

Therefore, after making so many backup plans, he still had other preparations.

At this moment, the cruel tyrant stood up, stood in the darkness, and took out a device:

"Get ready the death-flame bombs, and... spikes."

-

A week flies by.

During this time, Bant had almost the same rights as Luma in the arena.

But most of the guards looked at him as if he were a dead man.

No one can survive after angering the Red King. Obviously, he will suffer the same fate as the Asgardian prince and die tragically.

Bant didn't care at all.

These days, he spends most of his daytime time in the dungeon with the fighters.

His great power and the authority he now holds bring hope to those fighters.

Bant did not reveal his plan to them immediately. Not all of these fighters were trustworthy. Before they saw the building of Sakaar was about to collapse, there was no guarantee that someone would betray them.

But he knew who he could trust.

He found Bill.

Chapter 94: Giant Stomach

Loki opened his eyes and found himself in a cave.

He was in a trance for a moment, then realized that he was not in Asgard, but on a planet full of garbage.

He was supposed to be used as a slave in the arena for fun, or even to stimulate the adrenaline of the barbarians with death and blood. But Bant saved him, he removed the control device on his body and gave himself freedom.

After leaving the arena, Loki fled all the way and finally left the imperial capital, but he fell unconscious in the wilderness.

Now it seems that he must have been rescued by someone.

He struggled to stand up, but felt a sharp pain in his body.

Although the chains on his body had been removed with the help of Bant, the wounds that pierced his bones were not so easy to heal.

"you're awake?"

At this time, a silver-gray alien holding water walked in. When he saw him wake up, he put down what he was holding.

Loki immediately became alert.

Seeing this, the man stopped and raised his hands to show that he meant no harm.

"Don't be nervous. If I had any ill intentions, we would have sold you to the imperial capital before you woke up. After all, the great Red King doesn't even know that his slave has escaped death." The other party's words were full of mockery, which made Loki understand that the person in front of him was not willing to submit to the rule of the Red King.

His mind flashed back to what Bant had said to him in the dungeon not long ago.

"That red ant is so arrogant that he looks down on people. Do you think the people on this planet will be willing to be enslaved by him? Loki, you are the only one who can leave the arena now. You are also the only one who can gather the forces to resist the Red King."

"Are you willing to let me leave?" he asked back at that time.

"Of course you can run away like a dog with your tail between your legs, but that red ant will never pay the price for enslaving the prince of Asgard. Or do you plan to go home to your mother? Let Odin and Thor see how cowardly you are?" Bant asked back.

Then he said to Loki: "This is a good opportunity to prove yourself, Loki. If you become the king on Sakaar, who can say that you are not qualified to be the king of Asgard?"

His thoughts returned to the present when the alien placed the water next to him. He looked down with a look of disgust on his face.

The bowl of water was as turbid as mud soup.

Compared to it, the food in the arena is pretty good.

"This is all we have," the alien said.

"All the resources on this planet are gathered in the Imperial Capital. Only the Red King can decide how to distribute them. Otherwise, those scavengers wouldn't be so absurd as to eat the corpses of aliens..."

Loki was silent for a moment. He licked his lips that were cracked from thirst, and then suddenly laughed: "It seems that you need a truly wise ruler!"

"If you are willing to help us, we will be very grateful." The Phantom said, "I know you are the prince of Asgard and have a deep hatred for the Red King. I can take you to see the leader of the resistance army."

"But you will not be our king, because we are waiting for..." He said, and then paused, with a look of lofty faith on his face:

"It's the son of Sakaar."

-

In the dungeon.

Bill stretched his body a bit; the few days of rest made him feel much more relaxed.

After walking a few steps, I heard other gladiators talking about the battle between the Hacker and the Queen of Red Wind a few days ago.

"He almost won. If the Red King hadn't interfered, he would have been the first person to defeat the Red Wind Queen."

"Yeah, but what can we do about it? We all have to listen to him."

"Damn it, if it weren't for the surrender disk..."

Then, all words were swallowed up by silence. They dared not speak loudly, and certainly not let the guards hear any complaints against the Red King.

But all the words fell into Bill's ears.

He spread out his palm, and a small machine lay there quietly. At the same time, he recalled the plan that Bant had told him.

This device can interfere with the signal of the submission disk, but it must be placed at the highest point, that is, the top of the totem tower, in order to cover the entire imperial capital.

Bill's mission was to sneak to the top of the Totem Tower at the beginning of the second game.

In fact, it would be more appropriate for Luma to perform this task.

However, whether it was Bant, Luma or Brunhilde, they all agreed that the Red King would definitely monitor Luma during the second game to prevent Luma from ruining his plan to eliminate Bant.

Therefore, Bill, who is also very capable, became the best candidate to complete this task.

As for Brunhilde, she naturally went to reorganize the other scavengers and recruit another force.

In this way, with Bant and Luma as the two combat forces, plus all the enslaved rebels on Sakaar, the gladiator warriors led by Bill, and countless scavengers like locusts...

When these forces are combined, they are enough to launch a planetary-scale war.

A week passed quietly like this.

The second game of the championship challenge also arrived as scheduled.

However, this competition was not held inside the arena, but in the famous forbidden area on Sakaar - the Giant Stomach!

The "giant stomach" looks like a huge mine, and the spiral roads seem to lead to the abyss of hell.

And deep inside the giant stomach is boiling and burning magma.

Just by standing on the edge of the pit, Bant could feel the scorching air rushing towards him.

He looked up and saw a plane equipped with cameras circling above his head.

Since the battlefield was not in the imperial capital, the match was broadcast live.

Inside the imperial capital.

The Red King was rarely fully armed, with golden armor covering his body.

This is a high-tech exoskeleton armor. In terms of technological content, Tony Stark's current armor technology is nothing compared to it.

The Red King was brutal, but he was also very cautious. After Kaila was sent out to deal with Bant, he did not give anyone any chance to take advantage. Not only this armor, but almost the entire royal guard of the Totem Tower was mobilized by him to his side.

In addition, various powerful weapons are always ready.

He protects himself like a turtle in its shell. No wonder Luma looks down on him.

But now, the Red King no longer cares so much.

Originally, he considered that Luma was very powerful and it would cost a lot to take her by force, so he pretended to be a gentleman and treated her.

But the last time Luma disobeyed him in front of tens of thousands of people, the Red King could no longer tolerate it.

As soon as Bant dies, he will immediately recall Keila and the Crown of Death troops and then take action against Luma.

He wants to completely turn Luma into his slave!

"Is there anything unusual about that woman?" Having made the decision, the Red King's tone towards Luma became contemptuous.

A guard stepped forward and said with his head down, "So far, Queen Red Wind has been staying in the training room, probably preparing for the third game."

"Unfortunately, there will never be a third match." The Red King laughed coldly. He sat down in his armor with a huge double-edged sword placed next to the throne.
