Champion's room.
This place was much more comfortable than the filthy prison cells.
Ben, who had returned to his Earthling form, was lying in the hot spring and then turned to look out the window.
"I wonder how Loki is doing."
Loki was not dead.
Feigning death had always been his specialty.
At that time, the dead Loki was just an illusion. The moment he stepped onto the battlefield, he had already used an illusion to leave.
Loki could play a significant role in overthrowing the Red King's rule, provided he actually gathered all the rebellious forces on the planet as Ben said, instead of running away with his tail between his legs.
"Splash!"
A sound of water pulled Ben's thoughts back.
He turned his head and saw that Looma's four arms were all comfortably resting on the edge of the pool, looking relaxed.
Ben couldn't imagine that his first time experiencing a mixed-gender hot spring bath was with an alien.
"I still prefer it when you transform into a Tetramand," Looma said, looking at Ben. "But it doesn't matter, this is fine too."
Hearing this, Ben thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, Looma. I misunderstood you. You are a warrior worthy of respect, and I look forward to fighting you again."
Hearing Ben's approval, Looma was in a good mood:
"Of course! Once you win your second match, we can fight again!"
Looma was very excited at the thought of continuing the fight.
However, Ben shook his head.
"I wasn't referring to the Champion Challenge."
"As you saw, that Red King is unwilling to abide by the rules. Letting him rule this arena, let alone this planet, is a desecration of combat!"
He stood up from the hot spring, got dressed, and said, "Someone who doesn't understand the honor of a warrior, who knows what plans he might be making in secret?"
"You want to conquer this planet?"
Looma understood Ben's intention and nodded, "I've been thinking about this for a long time. But it won't be easy to achieve this plan."
"You have this idea too?" Ben was a little surprised.
"Don't think we Tetramands are just brutes who only know how to use their fists," Looma said playfully, then added, "Caiera, the maidservant of Angmo Asan, possesses great power, even enough to contend with me. Furthermore, he has armor that can grant him immense strength, various weapons, and the Death's Head Guard. It's not something I can handle alone."
However, she paused and continued, "With just the two of us, maybe... but it's still very difficult. Angmo Asan controls everyone with the Obedience Disk. If we dare to make a move against him in the arena, everyone will be our enemy."
The Obedience Disk was that powerful neurotoxin.
The method of "capturing the king first" was useless.
Looma had actually long harbored the idea of replacing Angmo Asan. She had long been displeased with such a sinister person. Therefore, as soon as Ben brought it up, she immediately analyzed the current situation clearly.
Both the controlled gladiators and the Death's Head Guard were formidable enemies.
Especially the Death's Head Guard, the power of this army was not that of ordinary grunts. The Red King had been developing on this planet for many years, and his army carried weapons with immense destructive power.
"If the Red Wind Legion were also here, it would be much simpler," Looma said regretfully.
This was why she was so excited the first moment she saw Four Arms, because she thought Ben was sent by her father to find her.
As long as they could contact the Red Wind Kingdom, taking down a small planet like Sakaar would be a piece of cake.
But unfortunately, Ben had no connection to the Red Wind Kingdom at all. Instead, the Galactic Plumbers had some connection.
At this moment, Looma had already learned from Ben that she was no longer in her original universe.
Looma didn't care about this at all.
"Since you're here anyway, the two of us can revitalize the entire Empire!" she said forcefully.
Ben shivered at her words.
Revitalize the Empire with just two people?
Did he still want his kidneys?
What a terrifying woman!
He skipped over that topic and continued, "Of course, it won't just be the two of us. There are other warriors in the arena, like Bill, who fought you yesterday. If we're lucky, there will also be a Valkyrie and countless members of the Rebel Army."
"War!" Looma smiled.
"I'm very interested, when do we start?" She swirled some water, leaning her body against the edge of the hot spring, her large red breasts being squeezed into a deformed shape.
As a battle-maniac, Looma was naturally interested in war. The Tetramand people didn't invent the best engines in the universe just for traveling around the world!
"After the first match, Angmo Asan will definitely try his best to kill me, but he won't be fighting personally."
Hearing this, Looma nodded, "He'll probably send Caiera and the Death's Head Guard to deal with you."
"That would be for the best. Since he's willing to disperse the power he controls, we can just defeat them one by one. By the time of the third match, he'll be isolated and helpless."
"A good plan!" Looma nodded with satisfaction.
"The target for conquest, the severed limb, the blue object – just one more Ice and Snow Creature and the engagement gift will be complete!" She blinked her four eyes, gazing lovingly at Ben. "And a grand war to celebrate our wedding, you're so thoughtful, my darling!"
"You've misunderstood. It's not an engagement gift, it's the conquest of Sakaar. I plan to establish the Galactic Plumbers here," Ben explained helplessly.
"If I say it is, then it is!"
Looma fully displayed the unreasonable style of the Tetramands.
Fortunately, someone else interrupted them at this moment.
Valkyrie strode in, holding a wine bottle, and said, "I hope I'm not interrupting your… intimacy?"
"If you can tell me where to find an Ice and Snow Creature on this planet, then no," Looma said, clearly familiar with Valkyrie.
Valkyrie shrugged. "That depends on luck. I haven't seen any Ice and Snow Creatures travel through wormholes to get here."
Hearing their conversation, Ben wisely didn't mention that Loki was a Frost Giant.
"Valkyrie, Looma and I are planning something big. Do you want to hear about it?" Ben asked.
"Tell me," she replied.
So, Ben shared a portion of his plan with Valkyrie.
Valkyrie was now just a Scavenger. She and the Red King weren't exactly on the same side, and she didn't care who ruled Sakaar.
However, after hearing Ben's plan, she was still surprised by his audacious recklessness.
But then she reconsidered, thinking that perhaps this plan might actually succeed.
The tyrannical Red King had already made too many people on this planet unhappy. His military might could suppress everything now, but if he ever showed a weakness, he would be immediately overthrown.
"Valkyrie, I know you don't want to get involved with Asgard. I'm not from Asgard, and Sakaar isn't Asgard either. Instead of being a dirty Scavenger under the Red King's rule, why not join us? Then you can drink as much as you want without paying for it."
Valkyrie stroked her chin, seemingly considering whether helping Ben was worth it. Over the years, she felt more like a merchant than a warrior.
"Actually, if I told the Red King about your plan, I could also have endless wine… But, you're lucky. I just happen to dislike people like Angmo Asan." She extended her hand and clasped Ben's, signifying their agreement.
"Also, my name is Brunnhilde."
Meanwhile, in the Red King's palace.
Angmo Asan's expression was grim.
Caiera stood beside him expressionlessly, like a puppet.
However, she spoke to comfort him. "Princess Looma really enjoys combat. If Your Majesty secretly interfered, she would naturally be angry."
"That wasn't me!"
The Red King even sounded a little wronged.
But he had done so many things like that in the past that even Caiera didn't believe him.
Regarding his defense, Caiera's response was: Yeah, yeah, it wasn't you; they just pretended to have a seizure and fell to the ground themselves.
She didn't say it out loud, but from his expression, the Red King knew Caiera didn't believe a word he was saying.
He trembled with rage. If it were anyone else, he would have had them executed long ago.
But Caiera was the most powerful warrior in his hands, and he couldn't do that. Losing Caiera would be like cutting off one of his own arms.
He couldn't kill Caiera, and he couldn't kill Looma, but he could at least kill Ben!
"That Tetramand must die!"
He clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. "For the second match, send him to the Maw. I want a global broadcast so everyone can see the fate of those who defy me!"
"You mean the Maw?"
Caiera was instantly startled by the mention.
But the Red King sneered. "Not just the Maw," he glanced at Caiera. "You too, along with the Death's Head Guard, make sure he is completely eliminated!"
"But, Princess Looma…" Caiera hesitated.
The terrifying monsters in the Maw, combined with her, the strongest warrior of the Shadow People, and the Death's Head Guard – this lineup was enough to attack some planets.
To eliminate the Hacker, were they going to resort to such unscrupulous means?
"Do as I say!"
The Red King commanded coldly.
Caiera had no choice. Although she possessed greater strength than the Red King, she was fitted with an Obedience Disk and could not disobey him.
After she left the palace, the Red King let out a cold laugh.
It's still not enough!
He knew clearly that as a villain, he couldn't give his opponent any chance to survive.
Therefore, after making so many contingency plans, he still had other preparations.
At this moment, the cruel tyrant stood up. He stood in the darkness and took out a device:
"Prepare the Deathflame Beam, and… the Spikes."
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Ben had gained almost the same rights as Looma in the arena.
However, most of the guards looked at him as if he were a dead man.
No one could anger the Red King and survive, and clearly, he would meet the same tragic fate as that Asgardian prince.
Ben didn't care about any of that.
These days, he spent most of his days in the dungeons with the gladiators.
His immense strength and the authority he now wielded brought hope to the gladiators.
Ben didn't immediately reveal his plan to them; not all of the gladiators were trustworthy. Before they saw the imminent collapse of Sakaar, who knew if someone might betray them.
But he knew who was trustworthy.
He found Bill.
