Chapter 88 For You, For All of Us (First Order)
Inside the weapons room.
Korg was still complaining about Bant's impulsiveness. He picked up a sword and said:
"You shouldn't have challenged the Red Wind Queen. Although she isn't as brutal as the previous champions, she is unbeatable and she goes all out in every match."
As he spoke, he glanced at Bant, then sighed and shook his head, as if he felt sad for Bant's thin body.
Too weak.
In his opinion, Bant's body had been torn into pieces by other enemies before it could even reach the Queen of Red Wind.
The championship challenge is not an ordinary exhibition match.
"Can't we just challenge the Queen of Red Wind directly?" Bant asked.
He remembered that after Thor came to Sakaar, he could directly fight Hulk.
"It was possible before." Korg said, "But the Red Wind Queen doesn't like to fight weak enemies, so the Red King specially changed the rules. If you want to challenge the Red Wind Queen, you must first prove that you have the strength."
"Hmm..." Bant made an ambiguous hum from his nose. He picked up a hammer that was several times heavier than his own weight and was covered with the fur and blood scabs of an unknown creature.
"Oh, these soldiers are unwilling to even clean their weapons. Who knows if there are any infectious diseases in their blood!" Korg complained.
But Bant didn't care much.
He doesn't need weapons.
He put down the hammer in his hand and asked, "Are the Red Wind Queen and the Red King a couple?"
The titles Red Wind Queen and Red King were so similar that it was hard not to think too much about them.
But Korg shook his head and said, "How could that be?"
At this time, another gladiator interrupted and said, "The reason why the Red Wind Queen has this title is because she claims to be the queen of the Red Wind Empire. She has nothing to do with the Red King."
"Red Wind Empire?"
Bant read the name again and felt it sounded familiar, but he could not recall any information related to the Red Wind Empire in the Marvel Universe.
He had heard of the Skrull Empire and the Kree Empire.
"Your friend doesn't choose his weapon?"
Korg asked Loki, who was in the distance with his head buried in his knees.
Although Bant stated that he wanted to challenge the Queen of Red Wind, it was not him but Loki who would fight in the next match.
This son of Odin had angered the Red King, and as punishment he was made a showpiece in a gladiatorial fight.
At this moment, Loki, who was feeling disheartened by the tricks played by fate, had no fighting spirit at all. He was completely numb. If he continued like this, he might really die here.
"He's a mage..." Bant was unsure, so he added, "Probably."
"I hope he can cheer up." Mags sighed, "The Red King will not let anyone who offends him live. I guess his next opponent will not be any of us, but a troll."
As if worried that Bant didn't understand, Siloy said, "Trolls are giant monsters unique to Sakaar. They eat everything and are extremely ferocious. If he doesn't cheer up, he'll probably become food for the monsters tomorrow."
Hearing this, Bant glanced at Loki.
To be honest, he didn't think the Red King had the courage to kill Loki, but he was also worried that the Red King, who was young and fearless, would really kill Loki.
In order to prevent Loki from dying at the hands of the Red King and causing Sakaar to be destroyed by the angry Odin, Bant felt that he still needed to enlighten Loki.
Besides, some of Loki's abilities are still very useful for Bante to conquer this planet. Of course, for the Asgardians, ordinary comfort does not work.
Bant directly sarcastically asked: "Is this all the son of Odin is capable of?"
Loki didn't respond.
Bant simply sat next to him and continued, "You know, you are like a lost dog now. Where did your rebellious look on Earth go?"
Loki remained silent.
Seeing this, Bant had no choice but to act tough. He patted his butt and stood up, then said, "Well, no wonder Odin didn't let you inherit his position. You are far inferior to Thor."
Hearing this, Loki finally made a move. He turned his head and glared at Bant with a wronged and angry look, and said harshly: "Odin passed the position of God King to Thor only because Thor is his son and I am not!"
Even though he has fallen to this point, Loki does not want to admit that he is inferior to Thor.
It's ridiculous. That idiot with muscles growing in his head, what else can he do besides swinging a hammer? Without that hammer, he's not even a god.
But Bant didn't think so.
In its early years, Asgard conquered the universe, causing the blood of countless races to flow. While this brought Asgard huge prestige and benefits, it also attracted endless hatred.
If there is no powerful God King sitting in the divine realm, the Nine Realms will immediately fall into chaos, and the giants and dark elves will immediately blow the horn of attack.
"If you become the King of Gods, Asgard will soon be conquered by the assembled enemies, all the warriors of the Gods' Realm will be slaughtered, and all the residents of the Gods' Realm will be enslaved..."
He reached out and tugged at the blood-stained chains on Loki's body, and the pain immediately made Loki clench his teeth.
"Like you." He loosened the chains and continued, "Your friends... forget that you have no friends, but your mother, the noble and immortal mother of the gods, what will happen to her?"
His question struck straight into Loki's soul.
To Loki, everyone in Asgard is like a tough father. No matter whether they are men or women, they are not gentle at all.
Except for the goddess Frigga.
Loki's heart suddenly began to beat fast. He was wondering what would happen if he really let the Frost Giants come to the God's Realm and no one stopped them.
But Bant interrupted him again and said in a more cruel tone: "It's a good thing you don't have a chance, because you will die tomorrow, on this garbage planet, like garbage."
"I won't die!"
Loki said through gritted teeth.
"Really? Are you going to rot in this place forever?" Bant asked softly, "Don't forget that you are the son of Odin."
Then, Bant leaned over and whispered in Loki's ear: "Loki, don't you want to be a true and qualified king?"
"Become a king?" Loki was stunned.
"Yes, for yourself, and for all of us!"
"Heimdall's eyes can see the nine realms, and Odin's raven allows him to see into the universe. Do you think he is watching you in Asgard?" Bant asked.
"Do you want to sink into oblivion, or do you want to let him see that you are the one who is truly qualified to be the king?"
In an instant, a desire suddenly ignited in Loki's heart.
In fact, he didn't really want to be king. He just wanted to prove that he was qualified and that he was no worse than Thor.
"what do you want me to do?"
