The previous fight that prompted Thor and others to reach a cooperation with the collector was arranged by Gao Tianzun on a whim.

There was no advance arrangement, and no restrictions were imposed on the contestants who appeared temporarily, such as Volstagg. Considering this point, to be honest, Volstagg's final victory was actually somewhat lucky.

After all, the defending champion used the standard weapons provided by the arena, and the quality was only slightly better than the common ones that can be seen everywhere.

However, Volstagg and several other contestants who participated in the fight brought their own exclusive weapons.

What is an exclusive weapon?

Take the axe in Volstagg's hand as an example.

Although that thing is far inferior to Thor's Mjolnir, it is still one of the high-end products carefully crafted by the dwarves. In addition, Volstagg brought it with him every day, and he would maintain it very carefully almost every few days...

Putting aside the fact that exclusive weapons are more convenient to use than standard weapons, the quality difference of the weapons themselves alone gave Volstagg a lot of advantages.

To be honest, if Volstagg's dwarf-made battle axe was replaced with the standard battle axe provided by the arena, he might not be able to make it to the end of the game, and finally beat the defending champion and win the game.

For the sake of his old friend, Gao Tianzun did not seize the reason of "there is a gap in weapons" to deny the result of the game.

However, with his nature of cheating in order to win the bet, he would definitely not continue to ignore this factor that was not in his favor.

So, when Thor and others accepted the collector's invitation and temporarily joined him as mercenaries to participate in the game to win for him, Gao Tianzun specifically put forward a restriction to Thor and others-in the next game, only the standard weapons provided by the arena can be used, and their original weapons are not allowed to be used.

When participating in the competition in the arena of Asgard, depending on the situation, they are often restricted by similar rules.

Thor thought this request was reasonable, so he didn't care much and didn't object.

After all, he had already regained his divine power and developed some of his thunder abilities. Compared to the one who was still the hammer god in the parallel universe, his strength had already improved by leaps and bounds. For him, even if he lost Mjolnir's assistance, the remaining strength was enough to deal with most situations, and he would not easily lose in the fight.

Thor, who was rough, did not realize how much Volstagg and others would be weakened after changing their weapons.

But Volstagg and others also had the usual pride of the Asgardians, and they were the type who wanted to save face, so they could not refute Thor's meaning and protest on this point.

In short, due to the restrictions of the new rules proposed by the High Lord, the strength of Volstagg and others was weakened to a certain extent, and they could only exert about 60% to 70% of their abilities.

With this level of strength, it would be extremely difficult to win every battle.

After all, the High Lord had many powerful slaves under his command, such as the defending champion that Volstagg won in the melee before, who was probably only in the top ten, and could only be regarded as a big card, not a trump card.

If we count the veterans who once won 100 games in a row and were granted freedom by the Supreme Lord, and now retired from this business, but may be called back to help at any time...

Let alone Volstagg and others, even if Thor himself goes to the field, he may not guarantee a 100% winning rate.

For example, the game that just ended.

Although Volstagg, Fandral and Hogan cooperated very well, they still seemed a little passive under the joint siege of the six gladiators on the opposite side.

"Opportunity!"

"Ah, tsk tsk, why didn't you catch it, what a pity."

"Danger! Hey, that's right! Fandral, great job!"

Thor and Sif, who did not participate in the battle, were standing at the entrance where the gladiators entered. It is closer to the field and can be seen more clearly. When necessary, you can also shout at the top of your voice, like a coach to remind your companions who are fighting in the field, to give them a reminder.

It is precisely because they are closer and can see more details, so Thor and Sif have a more thorough analysis of the development of the battle. Unlike the spectators in the stands, it is still unclear whether the balance has shifted, nor can it be judged which side has a better chance of winning.

"It seems that this game will take a long time."

"Yeah." Sif nodded and echoed Thor's judgment: "On the surface, they seem to be at a disadvantage, but in fact, they are not confused. As long as they hold on for a while and wait for the opponent's physical strength to be consumed, they should be able to overwhelm the opponent and regain the advantage."

"I think so too." Thor loosened his arms around his chest and turned to look at Sif: "Is there any wine? I'm a little thirsty, pour me a glass."

Claiming to be a coach, Thor felt that he had to stay here and remind the three companions on the field at any time.

Well, in fact, he was just too lazy to go back to the rest area dozens of meters away.

"I know, wait." Sif agreed and turned to walk deep into the passage without minding such things.

At this moment, the communicator hanging on Sif's waist suddenly rang.

The movement came quite suddenly, and since this was a semi-enclosed space like a tunnel, the sound was amplified... This sudden sound startled Sif a little, and immediately attracted Thor's attention.

"Locke?"

"Besides him, there is no one else." Sif took off her communicator and threw it to Thor, while shaking her head: "Anyway, I don't think it will be Loki."

"That's right." Thor laughed and connected the signal: "It's me, Thor."

"Hey, buddy, where are you now?" Shi Xiaolei's voice came from the communicator: "Have you left Sakaar?"

When he asked, "Have you left Sakaar yet?", Fandral in the arena had just narrowly avoided a killing move. Seeing this scene, the audience in the stands exclaimed in surprise, creating a dull and loud buzz.

"What's going on? What's going on over there?"

"I'm in the arena now." Thor raised his hand and glanced at the stands, and answered with a smile: "Haha, we are still on Sakaar. We originally planned to leave the day before yesterday, but something happened in the middle It's a small situation. What's wrong? There's something wrong with you, and you need my help?"

"Small situation?" Recalling the scene in the original plot where Thor was captured and reduced to a gladiator, Shi Xiaolei quickly asked, "Were you caught?"

"What got caught?"

"Didn't you say we were in the arena? If we hadn't been caught..." At this point, he finally discovered the blind spot that 'the person who plays the next game is unlikely to be free to answer the phone'. Shi Xiaolei's tone suddenly became awkward: "Uh, you Now you are watching others fight, not participating in the battle yourself? "

"I was watching a few of Volstagg's gladiatorial games, and I also made a guest appearance as an off-field coach." Finally getting on the bandwagon, Thor continued: "We accepted the Collector... Oh, by the way, I forgot. I told you that the Collector guy came to Sakaar just a few days ago. I wanted to contact you quickly to tell you about it, but it was the Volstagg guy. Be careful, you may break your communicator if you get drunk."

"Haha, it wasn't repaired and delivered until this morning. That's right, because it was delivered a little late, and the three of them are about to go on stage to participate in the gladiatorial battle... I was just here to cheer them up, and I forgot about contacting you again. Yeah. Sorry, man, it's my fault."

"I'm telling you." Shi Xiaolei smiled helplessly: "You are still on Saka planet, why didn't you contact us to inform us that the collector has gone there? I just heard you say that you haven't left yet, I I thought you hadn’t seen the collector at all.”

"I didn't think about it for a moment." Thor smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject: "What do you mean, you already know that the Collector is here?"

"Well, I just heard the news." Shi Xiaolei replied: "You will definitely be very interested in what I am going to say next. Do you know? We met a Valkyrie here..."

Before Shi Xiaolei could finish speaking, Thor's eyes widened and he shouted excitedly: "Valkyrie?"

As expected of a guy who once wanted to be a Valkyrie when he was a kid. To this day, Thor still has a fantasy and yearning for an existence like the Valkyrie that has left behind various achievements.

"Well, it's the one you imagined." Sensing Thor's excitement from the surprise, Shi Xiaolei laughed: "But what's a little bit ominous is that she has a bad relationship with Hela. No, I should say she It’s only right to have a grudge against Hela.”

"Well……"

"I will tell you in detail how we formed the feud. I will tell you in detail when we meet." Shi Xiaolei continued: "In short, we have decided to divert to Sakaar. Moreover, Valkyrie also contacted her sisters They asked Hela for a fight. Haha, aren't you in the arena now? You know there is such a place on Saka, and they plan to go there to decide the outcome. "

“…….”

"Thor? Hey, can you hear me?"

"I can hear it. So what...please let me slow down. This news comes too suddenly, I...wait, what did you just say? The Valkyrie contacted her sisters? This means, Besides the one you saw, are there any other Valkyries alive?"

"Hmm." Shi Xiaolei agreed: "I don't know how many more, but there must be more than one. I only know a little bit about it now. If I want to know more, I think I have to wait at least until Hela finishes fighting them. In short, , I have no other intention in contacting you this time. I just want you to stay on Saka and wait for us to meet up. "

"Okay, I understand. When will you tell me?"

"Maybe a day or two? I'm not sure yet. After all, I haven't been there yet. I don't know how long it will take to get there."

"Okay, I'll tell Volstagg and the others later. Hurry up and don't keep us waiting too long."

"I know, I'll try my best."
