A mechanical master of a certain manga
Chapter 458 Gladiator
In the cell filled with the smell of iron and stench, Nebula looked at the woman outside the bars with an indifferent expression.
Valkyrie, the former Asgardian Valkyrie, is now a slave hunter employed by the ruler of Sakaar, and she is the most comfortable one.
Nebula originally came to Sakaar to inquire about information related to the Infinity Stones. Like Gamora, she knows that the only way to kill Thanos is through the power of the Infinity Stones.
I just didn't expect that not long after arriving at this place, I would be targeted by Valkyrie.
As the second best female assassin in the universe, Nebula is at the top of the wanted lists of countless cosmic civilizations.
Valkyrie naturally quickly recognized this famous figure, and spent a lot of effort to design a vicious trap that caused Nebula to conflict with the natives of Pontus. Then, while Nebula was attracted by the indigenous mercenaries, he suddenly attacked from behind and caught her.
Whether this prey was famous or powerful, the ruler of Sakaar was very satisfied and gave Valkyrie a large commission, which was enough for her to squander for a long time.
After Nebula was imprisoned, it was not that she never thought about escaping, but the underground arena was very tightly guarded, and she didn't find any chance at all.
Today was the day when Nebula was preparing to go to the arena. She didn't expect to see Valkyrie again at this time.
"What are you doing here? You still bet on me to lose, and now you want to destroy me first," Xingyun said with a sneer.
Other than this reason, Nebula had no idea why Valkyrie would appear in front of her. The woman in front of me is very similar to myself. In order to achieve her own goals, she will do whatever it takes, and she has no conscience at all, so she will definitely not come to confess to herself.
Valkyrie's face was also quite ugly. If she had any other choice, she would never come to Nebula.
It's a pity that she can't help herself now.
Not long ago, she fished a palm-sized robot onto her spaceship. I thought it was a good prey, and I could sell it again at a good price that would make me feel comfortable for a long time.
Unexpectedly, what he captured was not a docile little animal, but a ferocious beast from ancient times, and he became the prisoner of the other party.
Valkyrie finally planned to plot against Li Bai, but he was discovered, and in the end the method of controlling others was used on himself instead.
At this time, a metal device the size of a coin was embedded on Valkyrie's back. It doesn't look like anything special, just a silver piece of metal.
But in fact, the piece of metal stuck to the skin was covered with dozens of tentacles, piercing the skin and penetrating deep into Valkyrie's flesh.
If he tried to forcefully tear off this piece of metal, it would probably tear half of Valkyrie's body apart.
These tentacles usually have no effect, but if someone presses the remote control of this device, a terrifying electric current will be generated and a strong paralyzing toxin will be secreted.
Even a powerful Asgardian will instantly convulse his whole body and completely lose the ability to resist.
This thing is usually used by Valkyrie to deal with those unruly slaves. Nebula's back is embedded with this device, and even a semi-mechanized body cannot withstand it.
Unexpectedly, one day Valkyrie would get to experience this.
At Li Bai's request, Valkyrie came to the arena to help him find Nebula.
"Don't ask me, I have no choice. Someone asked me to give you this thing, saying that if you are in danger, it can save your life." Valkyrie handed a black bead to Nebula and said.
"Who asked you to give me this thing?" Xingyun did not reach out to take it, but asked doubtfully.
Valkyrie did not continue to explain, just threw the bead in, then turned and left. Li Bai just ordered her to deliver the things, but he didn't say that he had to make Xingyun believe it.
She didn't want to stay in this place for a moment, she just hoped that after doing this, Li Bai could let her go free.
Nebula doubtfully picked up the black bead, examined it carefully, and found that there was a very small mark on it, a blazing Rubik's Cube.
Seeing this mark, Xingyun smiled and then kept the bead close to her body.
Soon, a group of armed mercenaries came over, opened the cell door, and roughly escorted Nebula to the arena.
Gladiatorial combat is the most prestigious show on Sakaar. All powerful races in the universe will be captured by slave groups and sent to the arena for entertainment. Not only the natives of Sakaar like to watch this bloody show, but many wealthy people in the universe are also happy to come to this planet and spend a lot of money to bet on the players they like.
"Gentlemen, ladies, and monsters of asexual reproduction. The next scene will begin soon, but this time there is one character who needs to be introduced in particular. She is the adopted daughter of Thanos, the overlord of the galaxy, and the deadliest woman in the universe. "Nebula, One of the Assassins" the host shouted hoarsely to heat up the atmosphere.
There is no doubt that the name Nebula is not too unfamiliar to most people, so the audience gave out loud cheers.
Under the spotlight, Nebula slowly walked to the arena. She holds two long swords in her hands, which are the standard weapons provided by the gladiatorial arena. Apart from being strong and sharp, it has no other properties.
Compared with Nebula's pair of long swords that can be freely combined and even emit high-voltage current, they are really far behind.
This is also the rule of the gladiatorial arena. The gap between the weapons cannot be too large, otherwise the fight will not be exciting enough, and the climax will not be enough, with reversals and reversals.
As a bet that can be placed, if it is too one-sided, then the banker will lose money.
After Nebula appeared, the host immediately announced: "So, Miss Nebula's opponent today is our Wattu brother."
The name of the Wattu brothers seems to be quite loud. As soon as the host announced it, the audience cheered even more crazily, and some fans even directly pulled banners to advertise.
When Xingyun heard this, he felt a lot of discomfort in his heart. Although I had known for a long time that the person organizing this arena wouldn't talk to you, I didn't expect that the first game would be a one-on-one situation.
However, the unhappiness in Xingyun's heart disappeared after seeing his opponent.
Because the so-called Wattu brothers are not two people, but a monster with two heads.
Three meters tall, with a muscular body, holding a mace thicker than Nebula's body. There are two heads on the shoulders, one with one eye and one with horns. It is not known whether it is the product of genetic mutation or a special alien race.
There is only one opponent, but his name is "Brother Wattu".
As soon as this two-headed monster appeared, it hit the ground with a hammer like a demonstration. The floor of the arena was paved with thick cement, but when the hammer hit it, it seemed that the entire ground was shaken.
Where the mace hit, a spiderweb-shaped crack immediately appeared, with a diameter of four to five meters. With such a powerful force, one hit will turn even a tank into scrap metal.
This preemptive blow made the spectators even more crazy, and some people even tore down the seats and threw them into the arena.
"Everyone, Brother Wattu has smashed three hundred and seventy-eight opponents, and his ranking in the arena has climbed to second place. If he can defeat Nebula, he can continue to challenge our number one player in the arena tonight. So, everyone, please be ready. Before the battle is over, you all have the right to place bets, but the odds will change at any time according to changes in the battle situation. The current odds are that Nebula wins one to three, and the Wattu brothers win three to one. Then, the battle begins"
As soon as the host gave the order, Brother Wattu was already waving his mace and rushing towards Nebula.
With that violent stance, every step could leave deep footprints on the solid ground, showing how powerful it was.
Almost as soon as the host announced the start, a large number of bets were placed on the Wattu brothers, pushing the odds to eight to one. It seems that most of the audience is still optimistic about this victorious general in the arena. Although Nebula is well-known, it is too far away for them and they have no idea of her true strength.
For many cosmic races, individual strength still depends on body size.
Nebula's head only reached Brother Wattu's waist, and his slender arms were not as thick as Brother Wattu's fingers, not to mention the waist that was so full that it looked not even as thick as a mace.
With this size difference, normal people would choose the stronger side to bet.
The Wattu brothers rushed in front of Nebula, and the mace swept across with the roar of the wind, covering an area of seven or eight meters in front of them.
Nebula lay on the ground and rolled all the way to barely avoid the attack of the mace. She looked quite embarrassed.
The next moment, the Wattu brothers raised their feet and stepped on Nebula with extremely high agility that was inconsistent with their size.
The Wattu brothers were tall and long-legged, with a stride of more than two meters, and the soles of their feet were about as big as door panels. They seemed to be unable to escape.
But in this critical situation, Nebula's mechanical arm suddenly popped out and grabbed the crack in the spider web behind Brother Wattu that he had smashed out. The steel wire connected to the arm shrank and pulled Nebula over, once again dodging the Vaatu brothers' attack.
Although two attacks failed, Nebula was completely passive and the Wattu brothers had the upper hand.
The odds announced on the big screen changed again. Nebula's odds actually reached an astonishing 1 to 10, which showed how critical her situation was.
"Girl, don't run away, let our thick stick give you a pleasure, just make sure it's enough." The two heads of the Wattu brothers said loudly.
Although Xingyun's body was covered in mud and dust, his expression remained indifferent, completely indifferent to such provocation. On the contrary, after taking a look at the odds, Xingyun loudly said to the host standing on the high platform: "Can I bet on myself to win?"
When the host heard this, he laughed and replied: "Of course, if you have money, we will never refuse to bet. But I hope you understand that even if you lose your money to us, we will not give it to you." You will be buried grandly. The fate of all defeated people is to be sent to landfills for composting." The host mocked harshly.
"That's good, connect me to the Internet." Xingyun said with satisfaction.
"This is not a good way to delay time. No matter what you say, the battle will not be paused." The host thought he had seen through Nebula's thoughts and said disdainfully.
As if to comment on the host's words, the Wattu brothers rushed over again and smashed the mace on their heads, two minutes faster than before.
Nebula once again dodged in embarrassment. It seemed dangerous, but it was just a little bit safe.
Not only that, while dodging, Nebula also transferred his own cosmic bank account and bet more than 17 million of the universal currency of the universe. This is her entire net worth, not a single dollar left.
Xingyun knew very well that if she lost, the money would have no meaning, and she knew very well that she would never lose.
Just when the odds were changing due to the investment of this large bet, Nebula had just escaped from the giant feet of the Wattou brothers. But this time, she did not continue to distance herself. Instead, she swung her sword and stabbed the Vaatu brother's thick leg.
Emerald green blood shot out, and a sour and unpleasant smell was already emitting while it was still in the air. This painful attack not only did not affect the Wattu brothers, but also made them swing the mace faster.
This is also the reason why the Wattu brothers are always victorious. Injuries will only make them more violent, and the blood they splash is highly poisonous and highly corrosive.
Nebula's long sword only made a wound on Brother Wattu's foot, but the blade was already corroded into pits and could no longer be used.
But Xingyun didn't seem to notice it at all, and continued to exert force on her hand, causing the sword to penetrate deeper into the wound. Then before the Wattu brothers had time to fight back, they all jumped on the long sword.
With a slight push of her toes, Nebula climbed onto Brother Wattu's right shoulder. This action finally showed off the nimble skills of this world-famous female assassin. Before the opponent could react, Nebula had already climbed onto the heads of the Wattu brothers.
The remaining long sword pierced the one eye of the head on the right side. Although it was immediately corroded and broken, the blade also penetrated directly into the brain and caused serious damage.
As for the other head, Nebula's mechanical arm grabbed the horn on its head, twisted it 360 degrees, and was torn off by Nebula's neck.
With a bang, the huge corpse of the Wattu brothers fell, and the whole place fell silent for an instant.
No one expected that the Wattu brothers, who were so majestic just now, would suddenly be killed by Nebula. This turn of events was so fast that no one could react.
After coming here for a long time, screams, crazy shouts, and a small amount of cheers rang out, making the host come back to his senses.
He announced Nebula's victory with a bit of bitterness. After taking a look at the final odds, he finally settled on 1 to 12, which meant that Nebula's net worth had increased twelve times.
This time, Saka Star lost a lot.
But soon, the host got excited again, because he had received a message from the rostrum, and announced excitedly: "Nebula has won, so the person who will challenge us for the first place in the arena today is This powerful female assassin, then, let us invite the strongest person in our arena."
This sentence once again ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, and Xingyun frowned and couldn't help but touch the black bead on his belt.
