Ares, God of War, is one thing, but what stage is this Beta Ray Bill in?
You must know that in some stages, the Beta Ray Bill is powerful enough to fight Uncle Devourer!
Valkyrie spends her days drinking, rarely sober, and she doesn't care who the Champion is, so Ryan couldn't check the specific information about the Beta Ray Bill from her limited memories.
Ryan, unable to figure it out, decided not to bother thinking about it further.
Whatever stage he's in, I'll deal with it as it comes.
Even if this Beta Ray Bill is truly overpowered, if he can't win, can't he run?
With his current strength and various abilities, if he wants to run, unless the opponent is several times stronger than him, they definitely won't be able to forcibly keep him.
He only intends to steal one of the Grandmaster's spaceships to return to Earth, not slaughter the entire planet Sakaar, so he might not even face the Beta Ray Bill directly.
At this moment, the spaceship entered the building where the Champion Statues were located—which was the Grandmaster's residence and the venue for the gladiator arena.
Since Valkyrie was already a regular guest of the Grandmaster, there was no dramatic plot of being stopped and humiliated along the way.
Soon, the spaceship smoothly arrived at the landing bay.
As soon as the spaceship landed, there was already a middle-aged woman waiting at the landing spot, leading a team of brightly dressed guards.
Ryan already had an impression of the ugly woman when he saw her from inside the spaceship.
She was the head of the guards who appeared next to the Grandmaster in *Thor: Ragnarok* and the *What If* animated series. Her name seemed to be Topaz... Topaz frowned when she saw a strange man stepping out of the spaceship instead of Valkyrie. "Who are you? Valkyrie sent a message saying she had a Contender she hunted to sell to the Grandmaster. Where is she?"
Ryan smiled slightly in response: "There is indeed a Contender to be sold to the Grandmaster, but the trader this time isn't Valkyrie, it's me. As for Valkyrie..."
Saying that, Ryan raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Snap—
The cargo bay door of the spaceship opened, and Valkyrie tumbled out.
Ryan pointed at the tumbling Valkyrie: "This time, she is the merchandise for the transaction, the Contender I'm giving to the Grandmaster!"
Topaz stared blankly at Valkyrie, who was twitching on the ground, and then her perpetually sour face broke into a genuine, happy smile:
"Hahaha, that stinking drunk woman finally crashed! I knew this day would come!"
It seemed Topaz had been annoyed with Valkyrie for a long time.
After laughing, Topaz looked at Ryan with an inexplicable gaze and said flatly:
"Although this woman is a drunkard, she definitely has the potential to be a Contender, and today happens to be the rare Double Crown Battle, which only occurs once every ten thousand years. You brought her at the perfect time; she can add another layer of fun for the Grandmaster in this Dual Champion Battle!"
Ryan's eyes flashed upon hearing this, and he stopped looking around the landing bay for a spaceship.
Double Crown Battle?
Tsk, that sounds quite interesting.
He just happened to run into such a once-in-ten-thousand-years match?
Leaving now feels a bit regretful. Should I stay one more day?
Thinking this, Ryan, who originally intended to find a spaceship, steal it, and leave, now entertained the idea of staying to watch the spectacle.
So Ryan shot out a strand of Silk, tightly bound Valkyrie, lifted her up, and smiled at Topaz: "Let's go then. I can't wait to see this Double Crown Battle..."
Topaz glanced at the Silk shooting from Ryan's wrist, narrowed her eyes slightly, said nothing more, and walked ahead first.
After passing through a long corridor and taking an elevator up to the top floor, Ryan finally met the Grandmaster of this Universe!
The Grandmaster was wearing conspicuous, Luxurious Golden Robes, his hair was graying, and his face held an innate air of cynicism, making him look like an ordinary middle-aged man.
However, Ryan's super strong Spider-Sense detected a subtle, faint aura of danger emanating from the Grandmaster.
Clearly, this Grandmaster was not as simple as he appeared.
Indeed, as one of the first beings born after the Big Bang, how could he be as simple as portrayed in the movie?
If the Grandmaster were truly a weakling, how could he control the chaotic Sakaar?
He would have been killed eight hundred times over!
Seeing Valkyrie held in Ryan's hand, a flicker of surprise crossed the Grandmaster's eyes, and then he looked Ryan over with interest:
"You actually managed to capture Valkyrie? Your strength is considerable. Are you a new Scavenger? I don't think I've seen you before?"
Ryan shrugged and said casually: "That's right, I just arrived on Sakaar. I heard the Grandmaster was buying quarry at high prices, so I thought I'd come and earn some extra money. Does the Grandmaster dislike the quarry I brought?"
The Grandmaster laughed upon hearing this and looked at Topaz: "Tell him how I used to refer to Number 142? Here's a hint: it starts with the letter B~"
Topaz, with dead fish eyes, said flatly: "Bitch."
The Grandmaster:?
"Oh no, why would I call Number 142 a bitch? She's the Scavenger who has brought me Contenders several times. I've always liked her. It's not that word!"
Topaz: "Booze Hag."
The Grandmaster's mouth twitched upon hearing this. Giving up on having Topaz explain, he personally told Ryan helplessly:
"It's 'best.' She was the best Scavenger in my mind before you arrived, and a strong Contender in my heart!"
"So, I'll take her. How much compensation do you want?"
Ryan held up an index finger.
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 Ryan shook the raised finger: "No, not ten million. It's a spaceship, one that can pass through that Demon's Anus in the sky."
When he previously read Valkyrie's memories, he learned that Sakaar does not have a spatial wormhole leading directly to Earth.
In fact, there are no spatial wormholes near Earth at all. Due to unknown reasons, the space near Earth is terrifyingly stable.
And in Valkyrie's memory, the quickest route to Earth is to go to the edge of Sakaar, exit through a spatial wormhole leading to Xandar, and then travel continuously for about three months from Xandar to reach Earth... Good heavens, Ryan nearly died of boredom staying in Jotunheim for one month, even with Sylvie accompanying him.
Having him stay on a spaceship for three months? Wouldn't that be the death of him?
So Ryan still planned to follow the Original Plot: passing through that Demon's Anus in the sky, using this largest spatial wormhole to reach Asgard.
