Chapter 293: Man, it's more leaky than a bikini!
Tony didn't know that he had achieved the world's highest achievement in birdie-swinging, otherwise he might have chosen to crash into a wall and die here.
This was his little secret that he had kept for decades. In order to keep those cover girls who had had one-night stands with him quiet, he even spent a lot of money on hush money. Unexpectedly, all his efforts would fail now.
But Tony probably doesn't care about these things anymore.
There is something even more terrible!
“Do I have to play three games before I can see the Red Wind Queen?” He felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and his whole body became dim.
Before, he thought that as long as he participated in the championship challenge, he would be able to meet Luma immediately. At that time, as long as he mentioned the name Bant Parker, the other party would probably know that they were actually all one of them, so there would be no need to fight any challenge.
But now, everything seems different from what he imagined.
He was immediately numb.
"No, we didn't say we would play three games before."
"You didn't even ask."
The girl from Sakaar considerately wrapped a towel around him to prevent Tony from further embarrassing himself.
But it was too late to do anything about it, as his little caterpillar had become as famous as Chris Evans' baby arm and had become a beautiful sight next to the bath.
I can only say that Captain America and Iron Man are worthy of their name. They are doing the same thing, but the results are completely opposite.
It's really about seeking common ground while reserving differences.
Another girl added: "The championship challenge is our tradition, and everyone knows the rules."
"How would I know? I'm not from your place." Tony wiped his face and showed an ugly expression.
The hardest part of his body right now is his left hand, the rest of his body is really soft. Without the armor, he doesn't feel safe at all. How can he fight in the challenge match with his head?
The first game is only a week away...
"Excuse me, but what kind of enemies do champions usually face in a challenge?" Tony climbed out of the pool, hurriedly grabbed a few pieces of paper, and lay on the steps to draw.
He has to make a battle armor by hand in a week!
"That's not necessarily true. The last person to challenge for the championship was our great King Sakaar. He destroyed the most terrifying monster on the planet Sakaar, the Giant Stomach, in the first battle." A girl said as if she knew everything.
"It is a giant monster that lives in the lava. Before it is killed, the Red King has to throw countless people into the giant pit every once in a while to feed it. Otherwise, it will control the volcano to erupt and destroy everything."
Tony:? ? ?
The boy's eyes suddenly widened.
No, is this true or false?
He never dreamed that one of his opponents in the championship challenge would be such a heavyweight guy.
Are the monsters that control volcanic eruptions coming?
Why don’t you go and ask for help from the Buddha Tiga in the West?
Tony's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten shit. To be honest, if he was given some time, he might really be able to create an armor that could kill the giant stomach. If that didn't work, he could just bomb it with firepower.
But the problem is that he only has a week and no laboratory. It's already a problem to make a Mark 1. Spraying flames is already the limit, and he might even have to use an axe. How can he possibly make a missile?
"So...what about the second game?"
"Death Flame and Spikes."
The girls said one after another: "This is also the secret weapon of the Red King. The cruel Red King will use death flames and spikes to eliminate all those who resist him. A single shot of the death flame bomb can destroy a small town. The spikes are terrifying creatures that can drill into your skin and control you."
The more Tony listened, the more desperate he became.
What is a death bomb?
It's clearly an atomic bomb!
Apart from the fact that there is no radiation crisis, I'm afraid the destructive power is no less than that of some small-yield atomic bombs, right?
Not only Tony, but more people on Earth also learned through the live broadcast how powerful the leader of the Tiangong Society is. What they don’t know is that what they think they understand is only based on the previous Bant.
Nowadays, the strongest alien heroes in Bant's hands have all been qualitatively improved.
"How on earth did he win?"
Tony really thought it was outrageous, and he also thought that he might not be able to pass the challenge.
Hope is right in front of us, is it going to be shattered just like that?
He really couldn't accept it!
Fortunately, another girl said at this time: "Don't worry too much. After all, the monsters in the giant stomach have been destroyed by King Sakaar. Dangerous species such as Spikes have also been destroyed. The remaining death bombs have been sealed by the king and cannot be used against you."
"That's right. The Red King used these methods in order to destroy the great King Sakaar. As for you... there shouldn't be a need to mobilize so many troops. I guess, maybe you can fight against other gladiators?"
"Thank you for your comfort."
Tony breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little unhappy about being looked down upon. He sat on the ground and pinched his eyebrows with two fingers.
"I'm not trying to comfort you. The warriors in the arena are all experienced fighters. People like you will probably be killed with just one blow of a hammer."
"Who is the most popular fighter recently?"
"Two blue-skinned ones, one is Superstar, the other is Ronan the Accuser."
These two people are prisoners of the Tiangong Association, but Bant has no intention of keeping them idle. Since they are prisoners, they can either go to mine or serve as fighting beasts in the arena, which can also be regarded as a way to provide some entertainment for the residents of Sakaar.
Of course, under normal circumstances, people like Ronan and Superstar who became gladiators because of being war criminals have a different status from ordinary Sakaar gladiators.
They had no personal freedom and were usually locked in the dungeon of the arena. Even when they went on the field, they would be subject to various restraints, such as shackles and submission disks, to prevent them from losing control.
Tony should have been treated the same as them, but he decided to participate in the championship challenge, which was considered as using his life to gain a little benefit for himself. In the last week of his life, he could at least eat better and sleep more comfortably.
There was no way the girls knew Bant's arrangement. After thinking about it carefully, they all believed that the first match of Tony Stark's championship challenge would most likely be against Ronan or one of the superstars, with Ronan being more likely.
Tony knew both men, of course.
Among them, Supergiant was originally one of the Black Ops who attacked the Earth, while Ronan was someone Tony heard them mention after Steve returned to Earth.
The good news is that Ronan the Accuser has lost his hammer that could manipulate matter.
The bad news is that even without using weapons, Ronan only needs one punch to blow his head off.
"I remember that gray-skinned girl with big breasts said I can use any kind of weapon?" Tony felt that he could still struggle, at least he couldn't give up so easily.
Just Ronan.
Could it be that a genius like me cannot deal with him?
"Are you talking about the Supreme Warrior Lord Kaila?" One of the girls nodded.
"That's her, magnificent!" Tony made a huge circle with his hands in front of him, "Does she keep her word?" "Of course, I'll take you to the armory now."
"No,"
Tony stood up, his eyes determined as if he was going to join the party: "Not to the armory, take me to the laboratory!"
……
"This is the weapons depot."
Finally, Tony followed one of the girls to the armory.
It’s not that he is not allowed to use the laboratory, but there are not enough materials. If Tony builds a set of armor from scratch, it would be a waste of time for him now.
He had to see if there was anything useful in the armory, such as armor or something. Even if he couldn't make a suit of armor that could completely cover him, he had to at least make an exoskeleton.
Not only that, to be on the safe side, he planned to try to inject himself with the Extremis virus.
You know, Ultron’s first opponent after he was created was Killian, but when Killian met Ultron, his little tricks were not enough.
Tony also recalled that decades ago, he had calculated the formula for the Extremis virus for a woman named Maya, but he himself was not very interested in biology and simply missed the trick for fun.
Unexpectedly, it has become one of his means of saving his life today.
Of course, because time was short, Tony had no way to improve the Extremis virus, and the resulting effect might even be more unstable, but he could only give it a try.
"This axe is nice. It doesn't matter if it's rusty. Haven't you heard of the tetanus enchantment?"
"This helmet looks OK, put it on."
"This arm blade is useless. Just take it with you and melt it down to use as material."
"This...crotch protector? It's so useful! I must get one!"
Tony picked and chose, and pushed a wheelbarrow over. He commented on all the weapons that had a little bit of metal, and threw them onto the cart without exception. The other gladiators couldn't help but twitch their eyes.
A huge stone man walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said helplessly: "No, buddy, are you here to buy some goods?"
Korg the Stone Man, who used to talk about revolution every day in the underground arena, has now become a regular at the arena. He never takes the field, but just mingle with some gladiators from time to time and brag about his glorious achievements.
According to him, he was just reminiscing about the days when he followed the great King Sakaar in the revolution.
He was talking nonsense here, and Tony had noticed him a long time ago.
Inserting a long sword into the pile of weapons, Tony turned around, looked at Korg, and asked, "So, you are familiar with this place? The King of Sakaar is also the champion here?"
Korg slapped his chest hard, and stone fragments fell off. "Of course, no one was optimistic about King Sakaar at that time because he looked very thin, but I saw his potential at first sight, and gave him a lot of care and help, encouraging him to participate in the championship challenge."
Tony really couldn't imagine the Four-Armed Overlord looking skinny.
Korg picked up a hammer and said with a nostalgic look on his face: "Back then, this place was dirty and smelly. Every weapon was rusty and covered with all kinds of blood and fur. The Red King, that idiot, never cleaned it up. But the great King Sakaar was much better. He had people clean it up regularly and replaced all the weapons with new ones."
"Hey, man, I heard you were planning on making a championship challenge, is that true?"
"That's about it." Tony was still looking for useful materials and chatting with Korg at the same time.
He felt that Korg's words were probably not that credible, but the other party did know more than him, so it would not be a bad idea to ask more questions.
"You are quite brave then." Korg looked at him for a few times, and indeed compared him with Bant in his mind.
Both of them are from Earth, which is very similar, but that's probably all. Not everyone can master King Sakaar's method of transformation.
I heard that Tony Stark was sent here from the mine, which makes the story even less likely.
"Who do you think my opponent might be?" Tony seemed to have found something interesting, and hurried to the corner of the weapons room, where there was a pile of scrap metal scattered around. He immediately started rummaging through it.
His metal left hand protects him from getting cut.
"It's hard to say, maybe Ronan or Superstar." Korg's answer was the same as those girls.
"They are both rising stars in the arena. Ronan smashed an opponent's head with a hammer a few days ago. That guy has almost gone crazy. He even killed his own accusers. I heard that the Kree Empire is still trying to redeem him."
Korg shook his head with a look of disdain.
"And Superstar. If she participates in the championship challenge, I'm afraid Captain Bill will have to step in to solve it. It's hard to say. Captain Bill may lose. He is too graceful to use that hammer."
Tony's heart sank again.
What he wants to hear is not other people's prestige.
"Well, what is this?"
He suddenly pulled out a completely twisted metal frame from the pile of scrap metal. It looked like a piece of armor, but there was not much metal left on it, and the only three or two pieces that remained were still broken.
"This..." Korg was also stunned for a moment, then paused and said, "This is the exoskeleton armor that the Red King used to wear. It used to have energy protection and was extremely strong. After wearing this, even the Red Wind Queen at the time couldn't do anything to him. It wasn't until King Sakaar punched it thousands of times and nearly sent it to the center of the earth that he finally broke it."
Tony's eyes lit up and he held it up high.
"This is what I want!"
"Dude, it's more revealing than a bikini now..." Korg reminded him, "If you wear it, you'll be the Miss Sakaar champion this year... and you have a sexy mustache."
"I can fix it!"
Tony said happily.
It’s hard to say to what extent the repair can be completed in a week, but it’s a guarantee to some extent.
Let’s not talk about Ronan for now, he is not clear about the opponent’s strength, but Tony is very clear about how powerful the superstar who is one of the Obsidian Five Generals is.
In the Battle of New York, a war lord who was not even one of the Five Black Generals beat them all so badly that they were at a loss as to what to do.
