After Zod left the star port, he quickly contacted Luke, who had already checked into the hotel in the core area.
The latter heard about the trouble caused by the Kryptonian general, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a relaxed smile.
He stood in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down at the "city" outside, ignoring Zod and Fiora who came in.
The Void Land is divided into mining areas, residential areas and core areas.
In the outermost mining areas, workers earning meager wages are active.
Moreover, there are many small groups of criminals who focus on outsiders.
Once you find a fat sheep that you can exploit, it won't be long before their organs appear on the black market.
This kind of thing happens from time to time.
Although, patrols and law enforcement teams exist in vain.
But those are private armed forces belonging to the Difan Group and only serve the big shots.
The underlying mining areas are slums, and as long as there isn't too much trouble, they generally won't interfere.
Security in residential areas is slightly better.
Most are mercenaries seeking a living, wanted criminals who are being hunted, and service providers.
Only when you step into the core area can you be considered an elite.
You can enjoy a good life and a comfortable environment.
People in the underlying mining areas often compare the core area to a city that never sleeps, with feasting and entertainment every night.
Life there is simply like paradise.
The concepts and laws of the Void Land, summarized in Tanlia Difan's own words, are "life that cannot create value has no need to exist."
"Why did you almost come to blows with Ronan, the accuser of the Kree Empire?"
After gathering his scattered thoughts, Luke turned around and asked.
He originally wanted to meet the collector and leave after achieving his goal.
Who knew that it was originally agreed to meet with Tanya Difan in the afternoon.
But because of the conflict between Zod and Ronan the Accuser, many changes occurred.
Luke has not yet been able to meet the famous collector in the universe.
"It was Ronan who made the rude remarks and insulted us first."
Perhaps because she was worried about Luke's accountability, the female commander Fiora explained.
After all, the other party is their nominal boss.
The ten-year working contract has been signed long ago, and it is impossible to go back on it.
"You misunderstood, Ms. Fiola, and I didn't mean to blame you."
Luke smiled lightly, looking relaxed.
The three great empires of the Milky Way - Kree, Shi'ar, and Skrull.
These huge empires with powerful military power, advanced technology, and influence that radiated to dozens of star fields and thousands of celestial bodies were nothing in his eyes.
"It's just a pity that I wasn't there at the time."
Luke smiled a little, if he had been replaced by Zod.
Ronan, the accuser, must have been considered dead. How could there be a two-day appointment
"But you just said that the Shi'ar Empire's guard captain Du Jian will also come to the Void Land to participate in the auction?"
Luke asked again.
He paid special attention to this issue.
Fiora nodded slightly.
This is what Ronan, the accuser, said himself. He planned to use the resource planet of the final auction as a bet to invite a sword fight.
Luke's eyes flashed, and he didn't forget that he still had a side mission.
Defeat Marvel's Four Supermen.
The sentry has already been beaten.
There are still three people fighting swords, Lan Qi and Hyperion.
With three lottery opportunities in front of him, Luke was naturally very tempted.
"What do you think of Ronan the Accuser's invitation to a duel?"
Luke finalized his plan in his mind and turned his attention to Zod, who was silent.
"General stuff."
The Kryptonian general said softly.
Luke frowned slightly.
Zod's judgment couldn't have been wrong.
But if Ronan the Accuser has no chance of winning against the Kryptonian general, where does he have the courage to challenge to a sword fight
"General."
The female commander Fiola hesitated for a moment, but still succumbed to the genetic template and chose to call Luke "General".
"The weapon of Ronan the accuser may be his support."
Luke raised his eyebrows, remembering it.
The supreme wisdom of the Kree Empire once gave Ronan a powerful war hammer called the "Universal Weapon."
Not like the embarrassing villain in "Guardians of the Galaxy" who finally died in an awkward dance.
After Ronan the Accuser in the comics possesses that weapon, he can manipulate matter, create gravity, and control thunder and lightning... These abilities give him extremely powerful combat power.
Maybe this is the reason for taking the initiative to challenge the sword fighting
"Are you confident that you can defeat Ronan?"
Luke sat on the sofa and tapped his fingers twice subconsciously.
For the chance to win the lottery, even if he hates violence and advocates peace deep down in his heart.
He had to go out in person and have a fair fight with the Shi'ar Empire's guard captain.
As for Ronan the accuser
Even if he had a universal weapon, at best he would only change from an ant to a stronger ant.
"You can order a nice dinner and I can rip that guy's head off in one meal."
Zod's face was calm and his tone was determined.
In so many years of fighting, he felt no greater threat than Luke.
Others, nothing more.
"Then Ronan will leave it to you."
Luke snapped his fingers and nodded with satisfaction.
…
…
Two days later.
The arena in the Void Land is officially open.
The seats were packed!
Crowded!
Most of the audience are elites from the core area.
There are also a small number of gamblers from residential areas.
They all heard that Ronan the Accuser spent a huge price to take pictures of the resource planet that produced rare mineral veins.
Even though the Shi'ar Empire's guard captain fought with swords, he also offered a high price.
But as a dictatorial warlord, Ronan the Accuser, who controlled more than a dozen planets under his command, was even better and richer.
The resource planet that broke the auction record of ignorance will be used as a bet.
Whoever can defeat Ronan the Accuser in the gladiatorial arena will receive this amazing prize.
The Shi'ar Empire's Sword Fighter did not respond directly, but he was kindly invited by the Collector.
He promised to come to the arena to witness the final ownership of the planet.
In the host's passionate voice, the audience shouted loudly, and the atmosphere was almost warmed up.
Ronan the Accuser wears black armor and holds a long-handled war hammer.
Under the gaze of everyone, he strode to the center of the field.
"Who wants to be the first challenger!?"
The host's voice echoed throughout the audience.
Despite the outcry, no one had the courage to stand up.
The background of the Kree Empire and its own strong strength...
This kind of challenge is only for people of the same level.
Otherwise, there is no point in winning and you cannot keep anything.
If you lose, your life may be lost.
"Which warrior..."
The host asked several times in a row.
But no matter how much he stirred up the emotions at the scene, no one wanted to be the one who stood out.
A few minutes later, Ronan, the somewhat impatient accuser, raised his right hand, clenched his war hammer, and pointed at the viewing platform with the best viewing angle.
The captain of the Shi'ar Empire's guard, the most powerful warrior in the universe, and a swordfighter.
So he sat there.
no doubt.
This is a stark provocation.
Dou Jian's forehead twitched and he slowly stood up.
But before he accepted the challenge, someone fell into the arena first.
Just listen to the sound of "boom", and the atmosphere explodes.
The dark cloak was raised high, and a tall figure hit the hard ground.
"I am coming."
Zedd said solemnly.
He didn't look at Ronan the Accuser, looking past him and catching a glimpse of Luke and Fora sitting in the front row. (End of chapter)
