Chapter 241: Light (Part 2)

The climate of Sakaar alternates between extreme cold and extreme heat all year round. When summer comes, the hot wind blows along the charred craters, over the red rock mountains, and over the countless roaring mines, and comes to the top of the huge arena, and the enthusiastic shouts in the arena are noisier than the wind.

The Sakaar Arena is one of the most famous arenas in the universe. This arena was not built by the current new Sakaar people, but a relic of the previous civilization. Therefore, it carries the mark of the ancient times of Sakaar, and it looks very rough and wild.

The pillars built of logs overlap above the actual pillars, and they are engraved with the unique magic patterns of the ancient Sakaar people. Looking through the gaps between the pillars, the heat waves in the center of the huge arena are rolling, and the broken bricks and stones can no longer cover the entire ground of the arena. The new Sakaar people have no ability to fill it, so it looks very mottled.

On both sides of the arena, there are two high platforms made of steel and machinery. They are the creations of the new Sakaar people. On one side of the platform stands the current ruler of Sakaar, the "Red King" Modu Yashan.

Two tall Sakaar guards stand behind him, holding spears to protect their emperor.

On the other side of the platform opposite the Red King stands the universe-famous Gao Tianzun. Unlike the Sakaar people, his skin is not red. On the contrary, his skin is bright blue, and his forehead is covered with gold lines.

He sits on a special chair. The guards behind him are not as tall as the Sakaar people, but they are all wearing robes and surrounded by magical power.

At this time, there are two aliens fighting in the arena. It is not accurate to say that they are aliens. It should be an alien fighting with a strange beast. The insect looks like the giant insect that pulled the cart for the big red guy. This is a unique alien insect on Sakaar.

The fight was in full swing. The alien who faced the beast was already wounded. The Red King and Gao Tianzun on the stage were watching with great interest.

Who knew that at this moment, the alien made a fake roll to deceive the giant insect that was not flexible in turning, and then cut off one of its legs. The giant insect was stimulated by the pain and went crazy. It swept its tail covered with spiked scales backwards and directly knocked the gladiator out. Then it turned back and bit off his head. The fight ended just like that.

Gao Tianzun and the Red King were a little dissatisfied, but seeing the death and bloodshed, other spectators shouted.

The atmosphere in the arena became more and more heated. Prince Yashan, who was standing behind the Red King, stepped forward and whispered a few words to his father. The guards behind the Red King crossed their spears, and the metal spears hit each other, making a crisp sound, and the arena became quiet.

"...We all know that in this universe, there is a race that claims to be gods. They are powerful and warlike. They once ravaged the universe and frightened countless civilizations..."

"Today, our powerful and distinguished guest, His Excellency Gao Tianzun, brought us one of them, and my youngest son, the future heir of Sakaar, your Prince, brought us another one..."

The Red King raised his voice and said, "Let's see together, what wonderful performance will these Aesirs, who think they are the most perfect creatures in the universe, have when they kill each other?"

There are two gates under the mechanical platform, which are the areas where the gladiators are prepared. The two gladiators will walk out of the gates on both sides and then enter the arena for the fight.

Accompanied by the cheers of the crowd, the gate on the side of the Red King opened first, and it was Thor who walked out.

Just as the Red King was about to announce the entry of another gladiator, the High Lord cleared his throat and said, "He is not an ordinary Aesir. Please allow me to introduce him to you..."

The Red King was not dissatisfied with being interrupted. He raised his eyebrows with interest and looked at his son. Prince Ashan was a little confused. He didn't know what special identity Thor had, but the words of the High Lord surprised him: "The one in front of you... Yes, it's him. You may not recognize him, but he is famous. He is the son of the God King Odin, the prince and heir of Asgard, and the bravest warrior of Asgard!"

The whole audience was silent for a moment, and then a huge noise broke out. Obviously, this was a fact that shocked everyone, including King Hong and Prince Ashan.

Unlike the well-informed members of the Cosmic Elders Council like the High Lord, they are just the royal family of this planet and have no relationship with the major forces in the universe. Therefore, they have not seen Odin and the army of Asgard with their own eyes, and naturally they don't know Thor at all.

More importantly, Thor was the noble prince of Asgard, but he was now thin and haggard, no different from the miners who had been tortured for a long time in the mines.

He did not wear the armor provided by Prince Ashan, not even the soft armor inside. His original clothes were already tattered. He only held the spear in his hand, but it seemed more like he was using it to support his tired body.

Prince Ashan was shocked at first, then he started laughing, and the other Sakaars on the field also started laughing, and the sharp laughter echoed in Thor's ears.

But he was not like before when he was ridiculed, making a bull-like snort, roaring and waving his weapon, wanting to kill those bastards who dared to provoke him.

Thor just stood calmly in the center of the arena, letting those malicious ridicules and taunts come to him like waves, a sharp will almost came out of his eyes, turning into a sharp blade around him.

After the ridicule and discussion gradually quieted down, Gao Tianzun spoke again: "And it's a coincidence that the Asgardian I caught, a fool who fell into the trap, is also the prince of Asgard..."

"Not only are they both princes of Asgard, they are brothers." Gao Tianzun smiled and said: "So, you can not only see the struggle between the crown princes of Asgard, but also see brothers turning against each other and killing each other."

Hearing his words, Thor in the field finally had some reaction. His eyes gradually widened, and then he looked back at Gao Tianzun. Gao Tianzun sneered and said: "That cunning boy set a trap for me and cheated me of my bet. How could I let him have an easy time?"

"However, I saved his life just to wait until today..."

Then Thor saw that the door of the arena opposite him slowly opened, and the figure that appeared from the shadows was Loki.

Thor didn't believe his eyes a little, he closed his eyes hard, and then opened them again.

But that was indeed Loki.

Suddenly, Thor reacted, and his eyes burned with extreme anger. He understood. This might be another damn prank!

But before he could vent his anger, Thor was stunned, because Loki who appeared was too miserable.

Loki walked out of the arena gate slowly. It can be seen that he was trying to maintain his dignity, but now his situation was extremely miserable.

Loki had a shackle on his left wrist, and blood was dripping from the shackle to the ground. His body was full of scars. A huge wound that was deep enough to see the bone extended from his left shoulder to the right waist. The blood soaked his clothes.

Loki's face was as pale as a piece of paper. As soon as he walked out of the gate, he half-knelt on the ground, gasping for breath. Thor's anger was suppressed in his chest. He gritted his teeth and said to Loki: "You lied to me again, right?!"

"... Lied to you?" Thor heard Loki's voice coming. He spoke very laboriously and with painful emotions.

"Was the attack on the Rainbow Bridge fake? Was the destruction of my body fake? Or..." Loki swallowed his saliva with difficulty. He coughed twice. Thor smelled a strong smell of blood. He heard Loki say, "...the power and priesthood in your body are fake?"

Thor was stunned.

Before, he was immersed in the despair and sadness of Loki's death, and had never mobilized the power in his body. Now he focused his attention and felt the power and priesthood of the God of Fire churning in his body. Since he was exiled to the earth by Odin, he had not felt such a full power for a long time.

Loki can only have one priesthood and one power. This is the rule of Asgard that can never be changed. Now, the priesthood and power of the God of Fire are in his body, which means that Loki has lost all his power, that is, he will no longer have the power to release illusions and create illusions.

In other words... Thor strode to Loki. The moment his hand touched Loki's shoulder, he was sure that the injury on Loki's body was real. Thor took a breath of cold air.

Loki had never been injured so badly.

All the wizards in Asgard would not charge to the front line. They usually hid at the back of the line and released interference magic. Loki had been on the battlefield, but he had never fought on the front line, so there was almost no chance of injury.

Thor still remembered that the most serious injury Loki had suffered was when he was attacked by an assassin who sneaked behind the line of the enemy during a battle. An arrow grazed his arm. The wound healed in less than two hours, but Frigga was sad for three days after returning. Then Frigga kept talking about this matter for more than five hundred years.

Thor felt a little dizzy and his fingers were trembling. The strong smell of blood coming from Loki made him dizzy. Thor had never imagined that as a veteran warrior, he would feel dizzy because of the taste of blood.

"Get out of here," Loki said.

"Loki... Loki, tell me, what's going on?" Thor staggered back two steps.

Loki coughed twice violently, and the shaking of his chest made the wound more severe, but the High Lord and the Red King on the high platform were not satisfied with the "warm" conversation between the two. What they wanted to see was a fight of mutual slaughter.

The High Lord stretched out a hand, and the magic light flashed between his fingers. Loki screamed, and several magic halos appeared on his body.

Now, Thor knew how the huge wound on Loki's body came from, because those magic halos were cutting Loki's body, making him scream violently.

The Supreme Lord said: "Attack him! Loki! This is the arena. No matter who he was, no matter what your relationship is, he is your opponent now..."

"If you don't attack him, you will die, understand?!"

The magic halo disappeared, Loki fell to the ground, and then stood still. Along with Loki's heavy breathing, there was a tiny sound of wind blowing up sand and dust that no one heard.

That sharp willpower began to gradually materialize, and a small whirlwind surged at Thor's feet. Thor's hand holding the spear began to tremble.

Just as the Supreme Lord and the Red King began to laugh at Loki's miserable condition, a low rumbling sound came from the distant end of the sky of Sakaar -

This planet where it never rains, thunder has struck.
