Chapter 292 Little Tony? Can this be broadcast?
Loki did not run to find Thor immediately.
The dark elf had not yet fully resurrected, and he also needed to make some arrangements for Tony and find a reason to send him to the arena.
Although he couldn't wait to leave, he didn't fool around. He planned a scene where the miners were going to revolt, and induced Tony to follow suit. Tony, who longed for freedom, was naturally tempted, and then...
And then nothing happened. The rebellion was quickly suppressed, and Tony was arrested once again. He was severely beaten, and then stuffed into a small iron cage like a dog, as if he was being transported to another place.
His body was curled up in a dark corner of the cell, his chest barely rising or falling, and he was gasping for breath, making one wonder if he had stopped breathing.
But if you look closely, you can still see that he has his eyes open in the dark, his cracked lips moving, and making unclear sounds.
He looked like he was going to die.
But Tony didn't really care.
He regarded this as his atonement. He reminded himself every night, "Tony Stark, this is what you deserve. This is the retribution you deserve. If anyone on Earth dies because of Ultron, it would be considered as your death."
He said to himself: Tony Stark, even if you die here, no one will mourn for you.
"But I can't die."
Every time he thought of this, his gradually numb eyes would regain some of their luster.
"You can't just die, Tony Stark. The danger of Ultron still exists, and the Earth is still waiting for you to go back and save it."
"You must keep your life, find Bant Parker, bow to the person you once belittled, and ask the heavens for help."
You can die, but you cannot die in vain.
Before you die, you should at least make up for the stupid mistakes you made.
It was precisely because of this idea that he was able to persevere. Otherwise, if he were an ordinary person, after suffering so much torture, he would probably have given up long ago.
Even Loki was somewhat shocked by Tony Stark's tenacity. After all, Tony used to be a dissolute man, living a life of debauchery, and seemed to be able to solve any problem easily, which gave people a very unreliable impression.
But now, Loki has changed his opinion of him a lot.
It can be said that anyone who sees Tony Stark's performance has refreshed their perception of him. Coupled with Pepper Potts' constant public relations for him, the negative impression of Tony among people on Earth has been reduced a lot.
Even Wakanda is the same.
What they saw was a Tony Stark who was exiled by Ultron but never gave up in the face of difficulties.
They knew that Ultron's actions were not instructed by Tony, and that Tony Stark himself was one of the people deceived by Ultron. He had been punished and had never given up the idea of saving the earth.
only……
What’s the point of thinking about saving the earth in your mind?
Tony thought in despair that the uprising in the mine had failed and he had no chance of escaping. Even if he escaped, where could he find the Tiangong Society in such a vast universe?
Tony gradually became disheartened, but Loki recognized Tony instead.
But Loki never said anything nice.
Tony could feel the plane slowly stopping, and then the mine owner walked over cruelly, opened the iron cage, grabbed the chain on the collar around Tony's neck, and almost half-dragged Tony out.
Tony looked up at him weakly, seemingly having no intention of resisting. However, Loki suddenly became talkative, kicked Tony and said, "Boy, if you were working honestly in the mine, you would have a chance to survive, but you were still thinking of running away? Once we get into the arena, let's see how you can escape. Get up!"
He pulled Tony upwards again, and this time Tony had to straighten himself up to avoid having his cervical vertebrae broken by Loki.
Loki kicked again: "Go!"
So he walked towards the bottom of the spacecraft as if he was leading a dog.
Tony Stark walked numbly, like a puppet who had lost his soul.
The moment he walked out of the cabin, the light from outside made Tony squint his eyes subconsciously. When he opened his eyes, the towering buildings on all sides of the imperial capital seemed to crush him in an instant.
All kinds of cars were driving through the sky, layer upon layer, like magic.
Tony was stunned, seeming a little surprised.
The technological level of this planet was much higher than he had imagined. He was dazzled by the sight. The colors came one after another, impacting his pupils, until he saw the tallest building in the imperial capital.
"What is that?" Tony's eyes lit up instantly, and even his slightly shriveled body seemed to be injected with a little vitality.
There seemed to be a spark of hope burning in those eyes.
"Hmm?" Loki followed his gaze and found that what Tony saw were the statues on the totem tower. "Ah, these are the statues of the previous champions of the Colosseum."
He glanced at Tony and said with a smile, "If you can become the champion in the arena, you can get the same status as other champions, but... I think you should survive the first round first."
But Tony didn't care about other people's statues at all. There was only one statue in his eyes, and that was Luma's statue.
He became excited and shouted, "I know her! I know her!"
When Thanos came to Earth with his army, this female alien came to Earth with the leader of the Tiangong Society!
Tony clenched his fists tightly, and hope in his heart was rekindled.
"I won't make a mistake! Four eyes and four arms, it's her!"
"It's her!"
Loki pushed Tony towards the totem. Tony's eyes were still fixed on the statue of Luma, and his feet seemed to be rooted to the ground, unwilling to move forward.
He stubbornly used his feet to push against the ground, and pushed his shoulders and head back to hit Loki. It seemed that he wanted to fall into Loki's arms. He was still shouting: "I know her! Let me talk to her! I know her!"
Loki sneered, ruthlessly grabbed Tony's collar, lifted him up, and threw him several meters to the ground.
"You know her? So what? Everyone on this planet knows the powerful Queen of Red Wind."
"No one on the planet will miss any competition that Queen Red Wind attends. Who are you?"
Tony lay on the ground with his head down, gasping for breath.
He didn't have much strength to begin with, and after being thrown down by Loki, he felt dizzy. Every pore in his head felt as if it was pierced by thousands of needles, an indescribable feeling.
My head felt heavy and I couldn't stand up after trying to support myself for several times. I could only turn over, look up at the sky, tears in my eyes, and refuse to look away.
It was as if it was no longer Luma's sculpture, but some kind of belief, his last hope!
"I, I must see her..."
No matter what, he must meet the Queen of Red Wind. As long as he meets her, he can contact Bent and get the help of the Heavenly Association. "Want to meet the Queen of Red Wind? It's very simple. You just need to participate in the championship challenge and win in the end." Loki grabbed the chain nonchalantly and dragged Tony towards the totem tower.
He casually mentioned the championship challenge, but his tone was full of contempt, as if he didn't take Tony seriously.
But Tony seemed to have grasped something and muttered to himself.
"Champion Challenge..."
"Lo...Beck," Kaila had been waiting outside the totem tower for quite a while. When she saw Loki coming, she almost revealed Loki's real name. "What are you doing here?"
Loki threw Stark in front of her and said, "He is one of the people who rebelled in the mine. He is a disobedient farm tool. It is better to destroy him as soon as possible. It can also be used as a fun thing."
Kaila glanced at Tony, frowned slightly, and pretended to interrogate him: "I remember that after King Sakaar took over our command, the mines have been mined by machines, except for criminals. What crime did he commit?"
"Illegal trespassing," Loki shrugged.
"There is no such person in the resident records of Sakaar. I have checked."
"Now, add the illegal uprising."
Kaila nodded. "Illegal invasion... You are lucky. The fighting arena on Sakaar is no longer as bloody and inhumane as it was during the reign of the Red King. As long as you surrender quickly enough, you can still survive."
"Take him down for treatment. In this state, even if no one is dealing with him, he won't survive for long."
She waved her hand, and several red-skinned guards came over, held Tony, and prepared to take him away.
At the same time, Pepper, who was always keeping an eye on Tony on Earth, was so moved by what Kaila said that she almost cried.
This alien woman actually treated Tony!
It feels like a change of fortune!
Tony really felt that his luck had turned, so much so that a burst of strength burst out from his broken body. He broke free from the two guards and said, "I want to participate in the championship challenge!"
"What did you say?" Kaila was stunned.
She didn't expect Tony to be so brave and actually started with the championship challenge.
You know, she had told Tony the secret to survival. In today's arena, as long as you slide to your knees fast enough, you can survive.
According to the script, this guy should survive in the arena and wait for Bant to come out and deal with him, right?
She looked at Loki and found that Loki gave her a confident smile. Obviously, Loki was not surprised at all that Tony would take the risk.
"I want to participate in the championship challenge, isn't that okay?"
Tony didn't want to give up hope, but he also understood that he had to hurry up. Every minute he delayed, the situation on Earth might become more serious.
“I said before that as long as you admit defeat quickly enough in the arena, you can save your life, but that does not include championship challenges.” When mentioning the championship challenge, Kaila’s face became much more serious.
You know, the championship challenge is not just a competition to select the king of fighters.
Their King Sakaar defeated the brutal rule of the Red King through the championship challenge and became the prophesied Son of Sakaar, bringing vitality and vigor to the planet Sakaar.
Since then, this has become a game with sacred significance.
"I'll join!" Tony said without hesitation.
"Okay." Kaila stopped trying to persuade him and just told the two guards, "Take him down for treatment. We can provide him with any weapons he wants. The first championship challenge will be held in a week."
With that, Tony was taken away.
This time, for the first time ever, he was not sent to the underground cell of the original arena, but was sent to a place that was almost the same as the room where Hulk rested in "Thor 3".
Several alien girls put healing potions in his bathtub, and then considerately applied towels to the various wounds on his body. Before long, all of Tony's injuries, except for the broken arm, were much better.
"call……"
He breathed out a sigh of relief, feeling as if both his body and mind had had a rare rest.
Then he began to whistle in an indecent manner to the Saka girls who were taking care of him: "To be honest, the environment here is much better than when I was in the mine. I thought I was going to be locked up in a dungeon. You guys have changed your temper... Is there anything to eat?"
One of the girls brought him some yellow fruits and said, "It is kind to let those who are about to die enjoy some of the fruits before they die."
Tony:…
"Well, it seems that you are not very good at talking, but I have to tell you that I know your Queen of Red Wind. When the time comes, I just need to say a name and she will not attack me." Tony moved for a while and said in surprise, "Your potion is not bad. What's the formula? Don't get me wrong, I just want to compare it with the invention of a friend of mine. Obviously, my friend's potion is more powerful. The potion he invented can even heal a broken hand... But compared with me, his wisdom is still a little bit behind."
"It's useless even if you know King Sakaar," the girl rolled her eyes at him, obviously thinking he was a big talker, "You have to go through three championship challenges, survive and win before you can stand in front of the Queen of Red Wind."
"What did you say?"
"It takes three games to see her?"
Tony stood up from the pool in a flash, and the towel fell off, revealing his small weapon.
The girls from Saka were quite brave. They took a curious look and then showed disgusted expressions.
So small!
They looked at each other and smiled.
At the same time, people on Earth also saw this scene.
Happy, the bodyguard and driver, covered his face with his hands, looking as if he couldn't bear to watch.
Peter was almost broken while searching for the missing Venom over New York, and Tony Stark's little sparrow was exposed. Should this be broadcast?
but……
So small.
Peter blinked. He never imagined that this was all Tony Stark was capable of.
On the other side, Lightning also saw this scene and frowned slightly. Then, a black object emerged from his shoulder and he sneered, "I never thought that the famous arms dealer Tony Stark would use a female pistol. Speaking of which, he has slept with so many cover girls, but no one has revealed this news. It really is better to be rich!"
