Chapter 107 The Hunter Becomes the Prey, Meeting the High Celestial Venerable
But forget about Ares, the God of War. What stage is Beta Ray Bill at?
You should know that at certain stages, Beta Ray Bill was capable of going up against Galactus!
Valkyrie spends her days drinking heavily and is rarely sober. She doesn't care who the champion is, so Toby can't find any specific information about Beta Ray Bill from her limited memory.
Toby, unable to figure it out, stopped thinking about it.
No matter what stage it is, we'll deal with whatever comes our way.
Even if this horse-faced Thor is truly in an overpowered state, even if he can't beat him, can't he just run away?
With his current strength and numerous unique abilities, if he wanted to escape, unless his opponent was several times stronger than him, they would absolutely not be able to forcibly keep him here.
He only intended to steal one of the Grandmaster's spaceships to take back to Earth, not to actually slaughter the entire Sakaar planet, so he might not even have to confront Beta Ray Bill at all.
At this moment, the spaceship also entered the building where the Champion Statue was located, which was also the residence of the Grandmaster and the venue for the gladiatorial arena.
Since Valkyrie was already a regular visitor to the Grandmaster, there weren't any dramatic or embarrassing incidents along the way.
Soon, the spacecraft arrived at the parking area smoothly.
As soon as the spaceship landed, a middle-aged woman was already waiting at the parking spot with a group of brightly dressed guards.
Toby already had an impression of that ugly old woman when he saw her from inside the spaceship.
She's the head of the bodyguards who appears alongside the Grandmaster in both the Thor: Ragnarok movie and the animated series "What If...", I think her name is Topaz...
Topaz frowned when he saw that it wasn't Valkyrie who stepped out of the spaceship, but a strange man. "Who are you? Valkyrie sent a message saying she had hunted a Champion to sell to a Grandmaster. Where is she?"
To this, Toby smiled slightly: "Indeed, there are contenders who want to be sold to the Grandmaster, but this time the trader is not Valkyrie, but me. As for Valkyrie..."
As he spoke, Toby snapped his fingers.
Snap—
The cargo hatch on the spaceship opened, and Valkyrie rolled out.
Toby pointed at Valkyrie, who had rolled out: "This time, she's the commodity in the deal, a gift I'm giving to the Grandmaster contender!"
Topaz stared at Valkyrie, who was convulsing on the ground, for a moment, then a genuine smile of happiness appeared on his usually sour face:
"Hahaha, this drunken slut finally messed up! I knew she'd end up like this!"
It seems Topaz has been unhappy with Valkyrie for a long time.
After laughing, Topaz looked at Toby with a strange expression and said calmly:
"Although this woman is a heavy drinker, she does have the potential to contend for the championship. And today happens to be the once-in-a-lifetime double championship battle. Bringing her here at the perfect time will add another layer of fun to this double championship battle for the Grandmasters!"
Upon hearing this, Toby's eyes flashed, and he withdrew his gaze from looking around the parking area for the spaceship.
A battle for the double crown?
Hmm, that sounds interesting.
How did he happen to encounter such a once-in-a-lifetime competition?
It feels a bit of a shame to leave now. Why not stay another day?
Thinking about it, Toby, who originally wanted to find the spaceship, steal it, and leave, now had the idea of staying to watch some fun.
So Toby shot out a spider silk, binding Valkyrie tightly, and held him in his hand. He smiled at Topaz and said, "Let's go then, I can't wait to see this double crown battle..."
Topaz glanced at the spider silk shooting from Toby's wrist, narrowed his eyes slightly, said nothing more, and took the lead in walking forward.
After walking through a long corridor, taking an elevator to the top floor, Toby finally met the High Priest of this universe!
The Celestial Venerable was dressed in a striking and magnificent golden robe, with gray hair and an innate nonchalance on his face, looking like an ordinary middle-aged man.
But Toby's extraordinary spider-sense detected a faint but dangerous aura emanating from the Grandmaster.
Clearly, this Celestial Venerable is not as simple as he appears.
Indeed, as the first life forms born after the Big Bang, how could they be as simple as depicted in the movies?
If the Grandmaster was truly a weakling, how could he have controlled the chaotic planet Sakaar?
They would have been killed eight hundred times over!
The Grandmaster, seeing Valkyrie held in Toby's arms, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, then examined Toby with interest:
"You actually managed to grab Valkyrie, not bad. Are you a new scavenger? I don't think I've seen you before?"
To this, Toby shrugged and said casually, "That's right. I just arrived on Sakaar. I heard that Grandmasters are buying up prey at high prices, so I thought I'd come and earn some extra money. Do you think the Grandmasters wouldn't want the prey I brought?"
Upon hearing this, the Grandmaster chuckled and looked at Topaz: "Tell him how I mentioned Number 142 before? Here's a hint: it's a word that starts with B~"
Topaz, with his deadpan expression, said indifferently, "Bitch."
High Celestial Venerable: ?
"Oh no, how could I call number 142 a bitch? She's the scavenger who brought me to the championship several times, I've always liked her, not that word!"
Topaz: "Booze hag (a type of Japanese devil)."
The Grandmaster's lips twitched as he listened, abandoning his plan to have Topaz explain, and he himself said helplessly to Toby:
"She's the best! Before you came, she was the best scavenger in my mind, and a strong contender for the title!"
"So I'm taking her. How much payment do you want?"
Toby raised one index finger.
Upon seeing this, the Grandmaster raised an eyebrow: "Ten million? That's not a small amount, but it's reasonable. Topaz, transfer the money to him."
But Toby shook the finger he had raised: "No, not ten million, it's a spaceship, a spaceship that can pass through the anus of that devil in the sky."
When he read Valkyrie's memories, he had already learned that Sakaar did not have a direct wormhole leading to Earth.
There are no space wormholes near Earth at all, because for unknown reasons, the space near Earth is incredibly stable.
In Valkyrie's memory, the shortest route to Earth was to go to the edge of Sakaar, exit through a wormhole leading to Xandar, and then travel from Xandar for about three months to reach Earth...
Good heavens, Toby was almost bored to death spending a month in Jotunheim with Sylvie by his side.
Making him stay in the spaceship for three months would be killing him, wouldn't it?
So Toby still intends to follow the original story, going through the anus of the demon in the sky and through this largest spatial wormhole to Asgard.
