Chapter 458: Gladiatorial Fighting

In the cell filled with the smell and stench of iron, Nebula looked at the woman outside the iron bars with a cold expression.

Valkyrie, once the Valkyrie of Asgard, is now a slave hunter hired by the ruler of Saka, and the most cozy of all.

Nebula originally came to Saka to inquire about the Infinity Stones. Like Gamora, she knew that the only way to take out Thanos was to rely on the power of the Infinity Stones.

It's just that I didn't expect that not long after coming to this place, I was already targeted by Valkyrie.

As the second best female assassin in the universe, Nebula is among the best in the wanted lists of countless cosmic civilizations.

Valkyrie was quick to recognize the famous figure and put a lot of thought into devised a vicious trap that put Nebula into conflict with the Natives of Pontus. Then, while Nebula was attracted by those indigenous mercenaries, he suddenly attacked from behind and captured her.

This prey, both in terms of fame and strength, made the ruler of Saka very satisfied, and gave Valkyrie a large commission, enough for her to squander for a long time.

After Xingyun was locked in, it was not that she didn't think about escaping, but the guards of this underground gladiatorial arena were very tight, and she didn't even find any chance.

Today is the day when Nebula prepares to go to the gladiatorial arena, and I didn't expect to see Valkyrie again at this time.

"What are you here to do? Are you still betting to buy me to lose, and now you want to abolish me first? Nebula said with a sneer.

Aside from this reason, Nebula had no idea why Valkyrie had appeared in front of him. The woman in front of her is very similar to herself, in order to achieve her own goals, she can do whatever it takes, and she doesn't have any conscience at all, so she will definitely not come to confess to herself.

Valkyrie's face was also quite ugly, and if she had another choice, she would never come to Nebula.

It's a pity that she can't help herself now.

Not long ago, she fished a palm-sized robot onto her spaceship. I thought it was a good prey, and I could sell it again for a good price that made me comfortable for a long time.

Unexpectedly, it was not a docile little animal that was captured, but a fierce beast that had been flooding, and he became a prisoner of the other party.

Valkyrie finally planned to plot against Li Bai, but he didn't expect to be discovered, and in the end, the means of controlling others were used on himself.

At this time, a metal device the size of a coin was inlaid on Valkyrie's back. It didn't look special, it was just a piece of metal in silver.

But in reality, the metal was attached to the skin, and it was in the middle of dozens of tentacles, piercing the skin and digging deep into Valkyrie's flesh.

If you want to forcibly rip this piece of metal off, you will probably tear half of Valkyrie's body apart.

These tentacles usually have no effect, but if someone presses the remote control of this device, it will generate a terrifying electric current and secrete a strong paralyzing toxin.

Even the mighty Asgardians will have instant spasms all over their bodies, completely losing the ability to resist.

This thing is what Valkyrie usually uses to deal with those unruly slaves, and Nebula's back is embedded in this device, and even a semi-mechanized body can't withstand it.

I didn't expect that one day, Valkyrie would try this taste himself.

At Li Bai's request, Valkyrie came to the gladiatorial arena and helped him find Xingyun.

"Don't ask me, I'm forced to do it. Someone asked me to give you this thing, saying it could save your life if you were in danger. Valkyrie said as he handed a black bead to Nebula.

"Who told you to give this to me?" Xingyun didn't reach out to take it, but asked suspiciously.

Valkyrie didn't continue to explain, just threw the bead in, and then turned away. Li Bai just ordered her to deliver the things, but he didn't say that he had to make Xingyun believe it.

In this place, she didn't want to stay for a moment, she just hoped that Li Bai could set her free after doing this.

Nebula picked up the black bead suspiciously, examined it closely, and found that there was a very small mark on itβ€”a burning Rubik's Cube.

Seeing this mark, Nebula smiled, and then tucked the bead away close to his body.

Soon, a group of heavily armed mercenaries approached, opened the cell door, and brutally escorted Nebula to the gladiatorial arena.

Gladiatorial fighting is the most prestigious show of Saka, and the powerful races of the universe are captured by slave groups and sent to the gladiatorial arena for entertainment. It's not just the natives of Saka who love to watch this blood-soaked show, but many wealthy people in the universe are also happy to come to this planet and spend a lot of money to bet on their favorite players.

"Gentlemen, ladies, and asexual monsters. The next one will start soon, but there is one character who will appear this time that I need to introduce in particular. She is the adopted daughter of Thanos, the overlord of the galaxy, and one of the deadliest female assassins in the universe - Nebula! The host was hoarse and tried his best to heat up the atmosphere.

There is no doubt that the name Nebula is not too unfamiliar to most people, so the audience let out a shocking cry.

Under this circumstance of great attention, Nebula slowly walked to the gladiatorial arena. She held two long swords in her hands, the standard weapons provided by the gladiatorial arena. It has no other characteristics than being strong and sharp.

Compared to Nebula's pair of long swords that can be freely combined and even emit high-voltage current, it is really a lot worse.

This is also the rule of the gladiatorial arena, you can't let the gap between the weapons be too big, otherwise the fight will not be exciting enough, not enough climax, reverse and reverse.

As a gambling game that can be betted, if it is too one-sided, then the banker will not lose money.

After Nebula appeared, the host immediately announced: "Then, this Miss Nebula's opponent today is our Vatu brothers!" ”

The name of the Vatu brothers seems to be quite loud, as soon as the host announces it, those viewers let out even more crazy cheers, and even fans directly pull banners to advertise.

When Xingyun heard this, he felt a lot of unhappiness in his heart. Although I have long known that the person who held this gladiatorial arena would not tell you anything, I didn't expect the first one to be a one-on-two situation.

However, this unhappiness in Nebula's heart disappeared after seeing his opponent.

Because the so-called Vatu brothers are not two people, but a monster with two heads.

Tall, a three-meter-tall, muscular body, holding a mace thicker than Nebula's body. There are two heads on his shoulders, one with one eye and one with horns, and I don't know if it's the product of a genetic mutation or some special alien race.

There is only one opponent, but his name is "Brother Vatu".

As soon as the two-headed monster appeared, it smashed its hammer into the ground like a demonstration. The floor of the arena was paved with heavy cement, but when it was smashed by this hammer, it seemed that the whole ground was shaken.

Where the mace hit, a spiderweb-like crack appeared, four or five meters in diameter. With such a powerful force, even a tank will turn into scrap metal if it is smashed.

This preemptive blow made the audience even more crazy, and some people even removed the seats and threw them at the gladiatorial arena.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Vatu brothers have smashed three hundred and seventy-eight opponents, and have climbed to second place in the ranking of the gladiatorial arena. If he can defeat Nebula, he can continue to challenge our first place player in the arena tonight! So, get ready, you all have the right to place bets until the battle is over, but the odds will change depending on the situation. Now the odds are Nebula to win one to three, and the Vatu brothers to win three to one. Well, the battle begins! ”

As soon as the host gave the order, the Vatu brothers were already brandishing their maces and rushing towards the nebula.

That violent posture, every step can step on the solid ground to make deep footprints, which shows the great strength.

Almost the moment the host announced the start, a large number of bets were placed on the Vatu brothers, and the odds were pressed to the level of eight to one. It seems that most people and the audience are still optimistic about this winning general in the gladiatorial arena, although Nebula is not small, but it is too far away for them to know her true strength.

For many cosmic races, the strength of an individual still depends on the size of the individual.

Nebula's head had only reached the waist of the Vatu brothers, and the slender arms were not as thick as the vatu brothers' fingers, let alone the waist that Yingying held in one hand, which looked inferior to the thickness of the mace.

With this size gap, normal people will choose the stronger side to bet.

The Vatu brothers rushed in front of Nebula, and the mace swept across with the sound of whistling wind, covering a range of seven or eight meters in front of them.

Nebula was lying on the ground, rolling all the way to barely dodge the mace's attack, looking rather embarrassed.

And the next moment, with an extremely high agility that did not match their size, the Vatu brothers raised the soles of their feet and stepped on Nebula's body.

The Vatu brothers are tall and long-legged, more than two meters in a single stride, and the soles of their feet are about the size of the door panels, which seems to be unavoidable.

But in this moment, Nebula's mechanical arm suddenly popped out, grabbing the crack in the cobwebs behind the Vatu brothers that he had smashed out. As soon as the steel wire attached to his arm contracted, he pulled the nebula over, and once again dodged the attack of the Vatu brothers.

Although the two attacks missed, Nebula was completely in a state of passive beating, and the Vatu brothers had the upper hand in all their respects.

The odds announced on the big screen changed again, and Nebula's odds reached an astonishing one to ten, which shows how critical her situation is.

"Chick, don't run away, let's cool you with this thick stick, it's enough to guarantee it." The two heads of the Vatu brothers said loudly.

Although Xingyun was covered in mud and dust, the expression on his face was still indifferent, and he was completely indifferent in the face of such a provocation. On the contrary, after glancing at the odds, Nebula said loudly to the host standing on the high platform, "Can I bet on myself to win?" ”

When the host heard this, he laughed at the time and replied: "Of course, if you have money, we will never refuse to bet." But I want you to understand that even if you lose your money to us, we won't give you a good burial. The fate of all the defeated is to be sent to the landfill for manure. The host sneered bitterly.

"That's good, connect me to the internet." Nebula said with satisfaction.

"It's not a good way to stall for time, and no matter what you say, the fight won't stop." The host thought that he had seen through Nebula's thoughts, and said disdainfully.

As if to annotate the host's words, the Vatu brothers rushed over again, and the mace fell on their heads, two points faster than just now.

Nebula avoided it again in embarrassment, seemingly dangerous, but it was just a little bit away from it safely.

Not only that, while dodging, Nebula also called up his cosmic bank account and bet himself more than 17 million cosmic currency. This is her entire net worth, and she didn't leave a single dollar.

Xingyun knew very well that if she lost, the money would be meaningless, and she knew very well that she would never lose.

Just when the odds were changing because of this big-bet investment, Nebula had just dodged the vatu brothers' big foot. But this time, instead of continuing to distance herself, she swung her long sword and stabbed it in the thick leg of the Vatu brothers.

Emerald green blood shot out, and a sour and rotten smell was already rising in mid-air. This pain not only did not affect the Vatu brothers, but made them wield the mace faster.

This is also the reason why the Vatu brothers are able to win and be undefeated, injuries only make them more violent, and their blood splashes are highly toxic and corrosive.

Nebula's longsword only cut a wound in the Vatu brothers' feet, and the blade was already corroded to the point that it could no longer be used.

But Nebula didn't seem to notice it at all, and continued to exert force in his hand, allowing the longsword to stab deeper into the wound. Then before the Vatu brothers could fight back, the whole person jumped onto the long sword.

With a slight tap of his toes, Nebula had already climbed onto the right shoulder of the Vatu brothers. This action finally showed the neat skills of this famous female assassin in the universe, and before the opponent could react, the nebula had already climbed onto the heads of the Vatu brothers.

One of the remaining long swords pierced the single eye of the head on the right, and although it was immediately corroded and broken, the blade also stabbed directly into the brain, causing heavy damage.

And the other head was actually grabbed by Nebula's mechanical arm and twisted it three hundred and sixty degrees, and was directly torn off the neck by Nebula.

With a bang, the huge corpse of the Vatu brothers fell, and the audience fell silent.

No one expected that the Vatu brothers, who were still majestic just now, would suddenly be killed by Nebula neatly, and this turn of events was so fast that everyone couldn't react.

After a long time, screams, crazy shouts, and a small number of cheers rang out, which brought the host back to his senses.

He announced Nebula's victory a little bitterly, and after taking a look at the final odds, he finally fixed it at 1 to 12, which means that Nebula's net worth has increased twelve.

This time, Saka Star has lost a lot.

However, the host soon regained his spirits, because he had already received a message from the rostrum, and hurriedly announced excitedly: "Nebula has won, so the person who wants to challenge us today in the gladiatorial arena is this powerful female assassin!" So, let's call out the strongest of our gladiatorial arenas! ”

This sentence once again ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, and Nebula frowned, and couldn't help but touch the black bead on his belt.
