American Comics: The Matrix

Chapter 94: Giant Stomach
Loki opened his eyes and found himself in a cave.

He was in a trance for a moment, then realized that he was not in Asgard, but on a planet full of garbage.

He was supposed to be used as a slave in the arena for fun, or even to stimulate the adrenaline of the barbarians with death and blood. But Bant saved him, he removed the control device on his body and gave himself freedom.

After leaving the arena, Loki fled all the way and finally left the imperial capital, but he fell unconscious in the wilderness.

Now it seems that he must have been rescued by someone.

He struggled to stand up, but felt a sharp pain in his body.

Although the chains on his body had been removed with the help of Bant, the wounds that pierced his bones were not so easy to heal.

"you're awake?"

At this time, a silver-gray alien holding water walked in. When he saw him wake up, he put down what he was holding.

Loki immediately became alert.

Seeing this, the man stopped and raised his hands to show that he meant no harm.

"Don't be nervous. If I had any ill intentions, we would have sold you to the imperial capital before you woke up. After all, the great Red King doesn't even know that his slave has escaped death." The other party's words were full of mockery, which made Loki understand that the person in front of him was not willing to submit to the rule of the Red King.

His mind flashed back to what Bant had said to him in the dungeon not long ago.

"That red ant is so arrogant that he looks down on people. Do you think the people on this planet will be willing to be enslaved by him? Loki, you are the only one who can leave the arena now. You are also the only one who can gather the forces to resist the Red King."

"Are you willing to let me leave?" he asked back at that time.

"Of course you can run away like a dog with your tail between your legs, but that red ant will never pay the price for enslaving the prince of Asgard. Or do you plan to go home to your mother? Let Odin and Thor see how cowardly you are?" Bant asked back.

Then he said to Loki: "This is a good opportunity to prove yourself, Loki. If you become the king on Sakaar, who can say that you are not qualified to be the king of Asgard?"

His thoughts returned to the present when the alien placed the water next to him. He looked down with a look of disgust on his face.

The bowl of water was as turbid as mud soup.

Compared to it, the food in the arena is pretty good.

"This is all we have," the alien said.

"All the resources on this planet are gathered in the Imperial Capital. Only the Red King can decide how to distribute them. Otherwise, those scavengers wouldn't be so absurd as to eat the corpses of aliens..."

Loki was silent for a moment. He licked his lips that were cracked from thirst, and then suddenly laughed: "It seems that you need a truly wise ruler!"

"If you are willing to help us, we will be very grateful." The Phantom said, "I know you are the prince of Asgard and have a deep hatred for the Red King. I can take you to see the leader of the resistance army."

"But you will not be our king, because we are waiting for..." He said, and then paused, with a look of lofty faith on his face:
"It's the son of Sakaar."

In the dungeon.

Bill stretched his body a bit; the few days of rest made him feel much more relaxed.

After walking a few steps, I heard other gladiators talking about the battle between the Hacker and the Queen of Red Wind a few days ago.

"He almost won. If the Red King hadn't interfered, he would have been the first person to defeat the Red Wind Queen."

"Yeah, but what can we do about it? We all have to listen to him."

"Damn it, if it weren't for the surrender disk..."

Then, all words were swallowed up by silence. They dared not speak loudly, and certainly not let the guards hear any complaints against the Red King.

But all the words fell into Bill's ears.

He spread out his palm, and a small machine lay there quietly. At the same time, he recalled the plan that Bant had told him.

This device can interfere with the signal of the submission disk, but it must be placed at the highest point, that is, the top of the totem tower, in order to cover the entire imperial capital.

Bill's mission was to sneak to the top of the Totem Tower at the beginning of the second game.

In fact, it would be more appropriate for Luma to perform this task.

However, whether it was Bant, Luma or Brunhilde, they all agreed that the Red King would definitely monitor Luma during the second game to prevent Luma from ruining his plan to eliminate Bant.

Therefore, Bill, who is also very capable, became the best candidate to complete this task.

As for Brunhilde, she naturally went to reorganize the other scavengers and recruit another force.

In this way, with Bant and Luma as the two combat forces, plus all the enslaved rebels on Sakaar, the gladiator warriors led by Bill, and countless scavengers like locusts...

When these forces are combined, they are enough to launch a planetary-scale war.

A week passed quietly like this.

The second game of the championship challenge also arrived as scheduled.

However, this competition was not held inside the arena, but in the famous forbidden area on Sakaar - the Giant Stomach!
The "giant stomach" looks like a huge mine, and the spiral roads seem to lead to the abyss of hell.

And deep inside the giant stomach is boiling and burning magma.

Just standing on the edge of the pit, Bant could feel the scorching air rushing towards him. He looked up and saw a plane equipped with a camera hovering above his head.

Since the battlefield was not in the imperial capital, the match was broadcast live.

Inside the imperial capital.

The Red King was rarely fully armed, with golden armor covering his body.

This is a high-tech exoskeleton armor. In terms of technological content, Tony Stark's current armor technology is nothing compared to it.

The Red King was brutal, but he was also very cautious. After Kaila was sent out to deal with Bant, he did not give anyone any chance to take advantage. Not only this armor, but almost the entire royal guard of the Totem Tower was mobilized by him to his side.

In addition, various powerful weapons are always ready.

He protects himself like a turtle in its shell. No wonder Luma looks down on him.

But now, the Red King no longer cares so much.

Originally, he considered that Luma was very powerful and it would cost a lot to take her by force, so he pretended to be a gentleman and treated her.

But the last time Luma disobeyed him in front of tens of thousands of people, the Red King could no longer tolerate it.

As soon as Bant dies, he will immediately recall Keila and the Crown of Death troops and then take action against Luma.

He wants to completely turn Luma into his slave!

"Is there anything unusual about that woman?" Having made the decision, the Red King's tone towards Luma became contemptuous.

A guard stepped forward and said with his head down, "So far, Queen Red Wind has been staying in the training room, probably preparing for the third game."

"Unfortunately, there will never be a third match." The Red King laughed coldly. He sat down in his armor with a huge double-edged sword placed next to the throne.

"I want everyone in the world to see what happens to slaves who disobey me!!"

The Maw Mine.

Keila has been waiting for a long time with the Crown of Death, or the Army of Death's Skulls.

Each of the Death's Skull Warriors wears exoskeleton armor similar to that of the Red King. Of course, their models are slightly older and not as advanced as the Red King's.

Kaila had mixed feelings.

On the one hand, she was also very disgusted with the Red King's actions. Just to get rid of a soldier, he actually dispatched such a large army...

But at the same time, due to the submission disk, she could not disobey the Red King's orders.

She reached out her hand and pressed her fingertips on the disk. With just a little force, she was able to crush it.

But at the same time, the neurotoxin in the disk will spread throughout the body in an instant and take her life.

She sighed.

He did not attack Bant immediately.

The monster in the giant stomach is very scary. Even if Bant's strength is even stronger than Luma's, he may not be able to subdue the monster.

If he lost, all the preparations would be useless. On the contrary, if Bant won, they could launch an attack when the opponent was most relaxed and destroy him in one fell swoop.

At this moment, she walked towards Bant.

Kaila was dressed very sexily, and although her appearance was not to Bant's liking, he had to admit that she had a good figure.

"This is the giant stomach, and it is also your battlefield. You need to defeat the monsters in the giant stomach to win," she said.

Hearing this, Bant looked into the lava. At this moment, the huge monster seemed to have sensed the breath of the creature and began to wake up from its slumber!
"Roar!"

It raised its mountain-like body, and in an instant, this huge volcano erupted, revealing its terrifying face.

The hot energy instantly raised the temperature of the giant stomach. In just a moment, the temperature in the air had reached nearly 100 degrees, and it was still continuing to rise!
Such a terrible temperature was unbearable even for Bant's current superhuman physique, but Kaila, who was standing next to him, seemed to be unaffected at all.

"Good luck, hacker."

She drifted away.

At the same time, the volcano finally erupted completely!

The hot volcanic ash instantly surged to a height of hundreds of meters. The lava melted by the heat gushed out like a huge fountain, and the burning boulders looked like doomsday!
boom!
In an instant, a force enough to engulf civilization attacked Bant, as if it was going to burn him to death with the wrath of the King of Sakaar!
In the distance, Kaila looked at Bant who had been swallowed up and shook her head slightly.

Obviously, she didn't think Bant could survive this disaster, which was worthy of being called a catastrophe.

But the moment he reached the giant stomach, Bant knew what he should do.

"Fireman, here comes the hero!"
