Chapter 200 A Cry for Help from Hell
It can be seen that Gao Tianzun really put in a lot of effort to entertain Li Wei and others.
In addition to some planetary specialties, he took great care of the Asgardians' eating habits, namely grilled meat, smoked fish, sausages, and most importantly, fine wine.
And the quality is unquestionable, they are all the best in the universe.
After living for so many years, Gao Tianzun has accumulated an unknown amount of wealth. There are probably not many things in the entire universe that he cannot afford.
This made everyone quite satisfied with the meal, and even Groot drank a lot of wine.
After some drinking, the relationship between Sif and Brunhilde was further eased.
When no one was paying attention, Sif deliberately gave Levi a few glances.
Needless to say, Levi knew that there would be a big battle waiting for him tonight, and Sif would definitely be willing to unlock more combat modes.
But that was just a little leisure and entertainment in his spare time. While the two girls were expressing their feelings of parting to each other, Levi walked leisurely to the side of the Hell Pegasus.
Gao Tianzun specially prepared a small house to provide various services for the Hell Pegasus. Judging from the surrounding layout and the various equipment prepared for the Hell Pegasus, this is not the first time he has done this.
The Hell Pegasus that was accompanying him at the moment, eating meat and drinking with him, were Rocket and Groot.
It’s no wonder that as long as it’s an animal, Rocket can get along with it in the shortest time possible.
This was the case with Cosmo, the space dog in the Nova Corps, and it is also the case with Brunhilde's Hell Pegasus now.
In a sense, this seems to be a specialty of the Rockets.
Seeing Levi coming, Rocket, who was eating so much, couldn't help but smile and said, "Our Lord Levi, thank you so much this time."
"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would never have the opportunity to participate in such a banquet and enjoy such treatment in our lifetime."
He had a very clear understanding of himself. When he and Groot worked as mercenaries before, they basically didn't save much money, and most of it was used to equip weapons.
Their goal was to get a bigger ship, but unfortunately they were always unable to do so for one reason or another.
Even if they saved money for their entire lives, they might not earn as much as Gao Tianzun in half a day. If it weren't for Levi, how could they have been treated like this?
Levi's perception of the raccoon is quite good. Although he is not perfect, he is considered a genius in the entire Marvel world when it comes to developing technology and weapons. Janet has praised him a lot in the past few days.
After casually responding with a few words, Levi stretched out his hand and released a little holy light.
Then he saw that the Hell Pegasus, which was originally eating meat with big mouthfuls, stopped moving instantly. Its mane stood up like steel needles, and the flames of hell began to burn in its eyes.
Such an exaggerated reaction made Levi once again certain that it must have a very deep memory of similar energy.
But Levi didn't want to attract too much attention, so he moved his mind and used his emotion manipulation skills.
Due to the huge gap in strength between them, the Hell Pegasus immediately restrained all its anger and vigilance, and instead lay at his feet like a puppy.
Its sudden change made Rocket next to it a little confused, but before he could say anything, Levi had already put one hand on the forehead of the Hell Pegasus.
He first input a little holy light, and the Hell Pegasus immediately let out a slightly painful groan. It was now a half-hell creature, and the holy light would only bring it harm.
The fact that it has such a bad temper is probably due to it.
But this situation only lasted for less than half a breath, Levi had already raised the Meow Hammer and made it release a little lightning.
He had guessed before that the Hell Pegasus had been in Gao Tianzun's hands for so many years, but he still left this mark in the Hell Pegasus's body instead of holding it in his hands.
Is it that he doesn't want to, is unwilling to, or can't?
If Baldur wanted to send a distress message to Asgard, he wouldn't just let anyone decipher it, right?
In that case, wouldn't it be very likely to be intercepted by demons or other beings? He probably left some special trigger conditions!
Sure enough, the next moment, as if the correct password had been entered, with a flash of light, the flame mark on the forehead of the Hell Pegasus quickly melted.
In less than half a second, it condensed into a golden translucent crystal, which was then held in Levi's palm.
Then the crystal turned into light and dissipated, and the small amount of information contained in it was successfully deciphered by Levi.
As he had previously speculated, this was indeed Bader's message for help.
He was trapped in hell, avoiding the pursuit of demons from various pantheons. When he sent out a message for help, he was hiding in the territory of Saluwa, the lord of hell.
But Levi felt a little upset because this request for help was from more than two hundred years ago!
The speed of time flowing in different dimensions and planets is not the same. God knows how much time has passed over there.
And this Sarua is no unknown person, he is one of the six demons under the command of Ahriman, the Lord of the Evil Realm.
Ahriman is the supreme god of the evil world in Zoroastrianism, also known as Angra Mainyu. He often fights and kills Ahura, the boss of Zoroastrianism, who was once regarded as God.
Somewhat similar to Hela, Ahriman is a special being who is half evil god, half lord of hell, and is also at the level of a father figure.
Although Heavenly Father is just a very broad title for the leaders of various pantheons rather than a definition of strength, he is definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Levi is certainly not afraid, but is it really worth it for him to risk a conflict with Salva or Ahriman and make a special trip to hell just for Balder?
Moreover, Odin deliberately threw Balder away in order to preserve the fire for Asgard. If he was brought back rashly, it might ruin Odin's plan, which would be a thankless task.
As he was pondering, Brunhilde, who heard the voice, ran over.
She checked immediately and confirmed that her Pegasus was not only fine, but its temper seemed to be much tamer than before. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, as she turned her head, she immediately noticed the glimmer of light on Levi's hand.
She suddenly became a little confused: "That's Balder?"
Levi nodded slightly: "Yes, it's him."
Brunhilde fell silent immediately. She vaguely felt that she seemed to have a very bold guess.
But she couldn't accept it, because the price was too high, and it was also full of coincidences, so she was a little unsure.
Levi was somewhat surprised at her sharpness. He thought that she was indeed worthy of being the leader of the Valkyries. She was indeed much stronger than ordinary Asgardians in all aspects.
But now he was more curious about another thing: "Did the souls of those sacrificed Valkyries fall into Hela's hands?"
Brunhilde nodded in frustration, "Yes."
Now Levi could be sure that Odin was indeed intentionally conserving his strength.
As the god of death, Hela can of course resurrect the Valkyries at will.
And Levi also knew one thing. In all the stories about Ragnarok, Odin, Thor, Loki, the Serpent, etc., all had a clear ending of death.
Only Hela never had a definite ending, she has always been missing!
Now Levi may be able to roughly determine Odin's original idea. He may have deliberately sent the Valkyries to their deaths.
In this way, after Hela escapes Ragnarok, she will be able to rebuild the Valkyries and even Asgard.
This was a fallback plan that Odin chose for Asgard, just as he made Balder and many other gods "disappear".
How to say it, from Odin's perspective, this may be the choice that maximizes the interests of the entire Asgard.
But for the Valkyries who were involved, it was too miserable. They were fooled until the last moment and did not even have the right to know, let alone the right and opportunity to choose.
If the Valkyrie had not been accidentally rescued by Gao Tianzun, she would have been completely wiped out.
Brunhilde gritted her teeth and said, "Your Highness, are you going to save Balder?"
Levi did not comment: "I may not go there in person. You know, it is very likely to be involved in Odin's plan, just like you Valkyries."
He directly broke the window paper. He was not interested in explaining or exonerating Odin.
Hearing this, Brunhilde knew that she had completely lost the chance to turn things around.
Gritting her teeth, she knelt on one knee resolutely: "Your Highness, if you can really save my sisters, I am willing to be loyal to you forever!"
Putting aside this incident, if Levi can really fulfill her wish, it means that Levi has enough strength to compete with Hela.
Being loyal to such a strong man would definitely not bring disgrace to her name as the Valkyrie.
There may be some problems with Odin.
Even if she has decided to unilaterally betray Odin, theoretically she is still Odin's maid, but this is what Levi should consider!
Similarly, Levi also realized this, but it was nothing. Odin was willing to let the Valkyries die collectively, so in order to win over himself, he must be willing to let go of Brunhilde!
"Okay, I promise you!"
After roughly confirming this matter, Levi turned around and found, as expected, that Rocket and Groot had quietly slipped away.
He was smart enough to know what he should and shouldn't listen to.
After returning to the hall, everyone was basically full and satisfied.
There were several people who looked at Levi and Brunhilde with somewhat strange eyes.
By now, they basically know Levi's hobbies. Could Brunhilde be his next target?
But none of them were stupid enough to ask. The strong should enjoy more. With Levi's current status and strength, even if he wanted to find hundreds or thousands of girlfriends, it would not be a big deal.
They just secretly made up their minds that at least they should not be the least valued one among them!
Soon, under the personal guidance of Gao Tianzun, everyone entered the largest building on Saka Star: Gao Tianzun's Champion Arena. How should I put it, it was quite magnificent.
The largest similar place Levi had visited in his previous life was the Bird's Nest, which was roughly divided into seven floors, covered an area of 20 square meters, and was said to be able to accommodate up to people at the same time.
With the help of advanced alien technology, Gao Tianzun's arena is even more advanced than the previous one. Its overall area is more than ten times larger, and it can accommodate more people.
At this moment, the entire arena was almost full. Spectators from all races were shouting like crazy, cheering for the players they bet on.
For a moment, the scene was extremely lively, and the huge noise waves made the sky completely cloudless.
At the same time, all kinds of brilliant lights shot straight into the sky. Levi even seriously suspected that even outside the atmosphere at this moment, he could easily notice the situation here.
There are also thousands of huge display screens constantly flashing, showing not only the real-time situation of each arena, but also various betting odds, special bets, and so on.
That’s right, this is also one of the top gambling planets in the entire universe.
There are hundreds or even thousands of fights every day, and there are always winners and losers, so naturally a large number of gamblers are born.
What they are betting may not necessarily be money, but also their lives. If they can't afford the money, they will just go down and fight in person.
If I win, maybe I can not only pay off my debts, but also get a lot of money to continue gambling.
At the same time, there are also many guys who are desperate and will take out their family inheritance or treasured treasures as bets.
Gao Tianzun’s good friend, a collector who is also a member of the Council of Elders of the Universe, would often come to Taobao in person.
While enthusiastically introducing the relevant rules, Gao Tianzun gave each of Levi and the others a watch for betting, and filled it with one million yuan so that everyone could play around.
In fact, money has long been a mere number to him, and it doesn't matter even if he gives Levi 10 billion.
But as the master of this place, he also needs to maintain order in the arena.
Levi didn't care. He just distributed it to everyone and let them try it out since they had nothing to do anyway.
In fact, Sif and the others didn't really care, only Rocket's eyes lit up.
He is obviously a little raccoon, but after wandering in the universe for so many years, he is an expert in cheating, eating, drinking, gambling, and everything else, except for prostitution.
Levi's attention was more on the two-headed man and Bill who were already participating in the fight.
After taking a few casual glances, he found that it was exactly as he expected. The two people had been driving Wushuang all the way here.
So far, there are only a few people who can stand against them for ten rounds.
The difference is that few of the two-headed man's opponents can keep their bodies intact. Most of them are smashed to pieces or torn into pieces by him.
Although it is a robot, its creator seems to have deliberately programmed it with personalities such as bloodthirsty, violent, cruel, and murderous.
Whenever possible, Bill would make his opponents surrender as gracefully as possible, or at least leave alive with their bodies intact.
If the opponent is shameless, he will not hesitate to kill him.
He is the guardian of the Corbins. When their entire race fled in the universe and searched for a new home, they encountered many various enemies. He is no stranger to killing.
They defeated their opponents so easily that the odds between them and ordinary gladiators began to plummet. Anyone who was not a fool could see that their strength had completely crushed ordinary gladiators.
But the gambling between them and between them and Ares quickly attracted a large number of gamblers.
No one thinks they can really defeat Ares, but which of them is stronger and how long they can last at Ares' hands can become the subject of gambling.
Also participating in the fights were not only humanoid intelligent creatures, but also various kinds of ferocious beasts.
Some were arenas, some were riding gladiatorial contests, or flying competitions, etc. Levi took a casual look around and found that there were at least seventy or eighty different events.
Gao Tianzun has been operating on Saka Star for countless years and has indeed figured out this aspect.
Moreover, in some less noticeable places, the lights, colors, and even music of some buildings are inducing and amplifying the emotions of the contestants and spectators.
This made Levi feel a little strange and a little familiar.
These methods usually seem to be what the Lords of Hell are more adept at!
Coupled with the Hell Pegasus, Levi felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his thinking.
It is highly likely that Gao Tianzun did not enter hell by accident and then transformed the Pegasus of Hell. He most likely has connections in hell.
But since he chose such an obscure method and left the matter to me, he definitely didn't want to get involved.
Or, this could be a new gambling game set up by him!
That’s right, even though Gao Tianzun currently appears to be very friendly, he has committed numerous evil deeds in various parallel worlds.
Every time he takes action, the Avengers, the X-Men and others basically need to face them collectively. Levi has been wary of him from the beginning to the end.
Maybe I should give him a little reminder to prevent him from having any unnecessary thoughts.
The others didn't realize this for the time being. They just watched the lively fight in the arena and were all infected by it.
Especially Carol and Sif, who are usually more warlike, were eager to try for a moment.
But they didn't say a word. If it was just an ordinary battlefield, it would be fine. They had no interest in entering the arena and being watched by so many people like monkeys.
Levi looked at Gao Tianzun with some curiosity: "What kind of promise did you give Bill? He seemed to come here voluntarily."
Gao Tianzun took out a fan from somewhere, and waved it quickly with his fingers like a noble lady.
Combined with his slightly glamorous makeup, he looks even more like a gay. Levi really can't appreciate his aesthetic sense.
Hearing Levi's question, he replied cheerfully: "I bought a habitable planet for his people. As long as he can win a hundred times in a row and defeat the two-headed man, the planet will be his."
Levi smiled and said, "Fortunately you didn't ask him to defeat Ares, otherwise he would probably have to work for you for the rest of his life."
Gao Tianzun said nonchalantly: "As long as those Corbin people still exist, I have plenty of ways to make them come to me and beg me, or even enter the arena."
In a sense, those Corbin people have become Bill's biggest weakness. As long as they are not all dead, he can control them at will for the rest of his life!
Even before Bill lost his usefulness, he would take good care of the Corbins.
Levi agreed: "That's right, in fact, it's not just him, for many beings, relatives are their weak points."
He suddenly became talkative: "I originally thought about having a daughter, but when I thought about the possibility that she might be threatened by the enemy, I would have to hide her on a small planet that no one knew about, and only visit her occasionally when I had time, so I gave up. I don't want that kind of life."
Carol next to her pricked up her ears instantly. She only noticed one sentence: Levi wants a daughter?
Gao Tianzun's heart sank. He didn't think that Levi was cheating him. Levi must be hinting at his daughter!
But he just couldn't figure out how Levi knew it.
Before he could speak, Levi continued with a smile: "I have a friend in Kamar-Taj."
Gao Tianzun was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized.
So that's how it is. If Levi is still related to the Sorcerer Supreme, then everything can be explained.
Whether it was Vishanti's magic or the Eye of Agamotto, they were things that he did not understand or was not familiar with, and were difficult to resist.
In this case, I would have to completely overturn and abandon some of my previous plans.
There can only be one Supreme Sorcerer in each plane. The current Supreme Sorcerer of Earth is Ancient One, and he is not someone to be trifled with.
Theoretically, whether it is the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy, or other galaxies, they can all be brought under his jurisdiction. This is the qualification given by Trinity-Vishanti to the Supreme Sorcerers of all generations.
Of course, whether he can actually control it depends on whether the Supreme Sorcerer's fist is strong enough.
Just like the Nova Corps announced that the entire Andromeda Galaxy is under their jurisdiction, but in fact there are still many existences that can ignore them.
There is absolutely no need for him to offend Levi and Gu Yi at the same time because of a bet that hasn't even started. There is actually no need for any conflict between the two sides.
Almost all of the time, the Sorcerers Supreme would only stay on Earth, and they only worried about Earth, and Ancient One was no exception.
Moreover, does Levi's appearance represent a powerful alliance between Asgard and the Sorcerer Supreme? He really doesn't want to be involved.
However, when he realized this, it was too late. The other party had already caught him, and now he had to further express his attitude and position.
He hesitated for a moment and said without beating around the bush: "What do you want?"
Levi smiled and shook his head: "I don't want anything for now. I have to ask Odin about Balder's matter."
Gao Tianzun bared his teeth. Even though he was somewhat reluctant, he had no choice but to show weakness.
"I have some connections in Hell, and I'd like to help out a little if you ever decide to take action."
"After all, we are friends, aren't we?"
Levi laughed and took the initiative to extend his hand: "Indeed, we are already friends!"
Gao Tianzun's special ability is to revive the dead. Perhaps it is because of his ability to revive the dead that Gao Tianzun has a connection with hell? Or vice versa?
After all, the body can be easily recreated, but the soul is not so easy to copy.
But those are not important for now. What is important is that at the moment of shaking hands, Levi has already started copying.
Although it cannot be used casually, it does not prevent him from mastering it first!
