Looking at the massive red spatial wormhole in the sky that seemed to connect heaven and Earth, as well as the countless small spatial wormholes of various colors, and adding in the surrounding junkyard-like environment, Ryan seemed to know where he was... and that was... Sakaar.
A super junkyard used by the major empires of the Universe to dispose of waste... a lawless land where heinous criminals were exiled... a Planet ruled and managed by the Grandmaster for his amusement.
Furthermore, he remembered that the spatial rules of Sakaar were very special; despite how space junk or exiled creatures like himself were constantly falling through the wormholes in the sky.
Ordinary spaceships truly couldn't pass through these spatial wormholes; entering them would cause the ship to be torn apart by spatial forces. Sakaar was a boundary space between reality and nothingness where one could only enter but never leave!
The few ships here capable of passing through those spatial wormholes in the sky were all in the hands of Sakaar's ruler, the Grandmaster.
So... was he also going to go through the plot of Thor: Ragnarok?
Go participate in the Grandmaster's 'Cricket Fighting' competition, take the champion title, and then beg for the Grandmaster's grace to leave Sakaar?
Forget it!
Whoosh——————
Boom—————————
With a casual flick of Ryan's hand, a sharp blade flew out, instantly piercing through the spaceship above his head and causing a violent explosion!
"Well, it seems the quality of this ship wasn't enough to take me back to Earth~"
Glancing at the exploding ship in the sky, Ryan shrugged, expressing regret that their ship hadn't passed his hardcore quality test.
As for whether it was too cruel to kill them directly without asking anything?
Ryan felt that in a hellhole like Sakaar, even if he slaughtered everyone on the Planet, it wouldn't reduce his merit by even a single bit!
In fact, maybe killing everyone here would even wash away all his previous killings, allowing him to go to heaven after he died!
After all, the people here were all criminals exiled by the major empires of the Universe; how could there be any innocent people?
Even if a few innocent people accidentally ended up here, they would have long since been eaten by the Scavengers, or sold to the Grandmaster for money and then died in the Grandmaster's arena.
"Hey, you, stop right there. You look pretty good; you're mine now!"
Just as Ryan intended to leave for the Grandmaster's city to hijack a ship and leave as soon as possible, a shout came from behind him again.
Turning his head, he saw another spaceship flying toward him.
And this ship, just by its appearance, looked much more advanced than the one earlier that seemed to be cobbled together from junk.
Thus, Ryan's eyes lit up, and he didn't blow up the ship immediately, instead allowing it to land on the ground.
After landing, the ship's hatch opened, and a woman wearing leather armor and holding a wine bottle, looking quite drunk, walked out. She looked Ryan over with a satisfied smile:
"You... *hic*~ look like you could sell for a good price..."
Thud————
As she was speaking, the woman lost her footing and actually fell off the ship, crashing into a pile of trash... With such a unique entrance, the identity of the newcomer was obvious: it was Valkyrie, who appeared in Thor: Ragnarok.
The desperate lesbian who became the sole survivor of the Valkyrie legion because her partner took a blade for her during Hela's massacre... Valkyrie was also one of the few who voluntarily came to Sakaar to escape reality.
Ryan looked at Valkyrie as she crawled out of the trash pile and said indifferently, "Valkyrie, can your ship pass through the spatial wormholes in the sky, and do you know which wormhole leads to Midgard?"
Valkyrie shook her dizzy head and waved her hand. "Of course not. I can't afford that kind of high-end stuff. Ships of that grade are priceless and rare; the Grandmaster doesn't sell them at all. As for the wormhole to Midgard..."
"Wait! How do you know my name!"
Halfway through her sentence, Valkyrie finally reacted. She snapped her head up to look at Ryan, her drunkenness instantly vanishing!
One had to know that since she arrived on Sakaar, she had never used the name she once had in Asgard!
Her name on Sakaar was Scavenger 142; no one here knew her real name at all!
A flash of killing intent crossed Valkyrie's eyes: "Are you from Asgard?!"
"No, I am from Midgard, and currently the King of the Frost Giants of Jotunheim." Ryan's tone was calm.
"Now, I have answered your question. It is your turn to answer mine, Valkyrie."
"The King of the Frost Giants from Midgard? What on Earth are you talking about?" Valkyrie was completely bewildered, unable to understand how a mortal from Midgard could become the King of the Frost Giants!
"Fine, now I have even more questions for you, so you have two choices..."
"One, come back with me obediently and answer all my questions. Two, I tie you up, take you back, and torture the answers out of you!"
As she spoke, Valkyrie threw a small dart toward Ryan's neck without any warning.
Clearly, she didn't intend to give Ryan a choice at all, or rather, she had already made the choice for him!
But Ryan wasn't a simpleton like Thor who would easily fall for such a trick. The moment before Valkyrie acted, his Spider-Sense had already warned him.
As the small dart flew toward his neck, Ryan simply raised a hand and caught it easily between two fingers.
But seeing this, Valkyrie didn't look surprised; instead, she smirked and pulled out a controller, pressing it down.
Zzzzt zzzzt——————
Instantly, that tiny dart, no bigger than a finger, released a powerful electric current and biological toxins at Ryan's fingertips!
Feeling the numbness in his fingers and the sensation of being poisoned, Ryan finally understood why Thor, despite having divine power, could be knocked down by this little thing.
Because this thing didn't just contain a strong current, but also biological toxins that could paralyze the body!
Unfortunately, neither of these things had much effect on him.
He already had electricity manipulation abilities, and the Symbiote came with its own detoxification effects, so the two effects carried by the dart couldn't restrain him in the slightest.
Under Valkyrie's astonished gaze, Ryan easily crushed the dart between his fingers. "Alright, woman, my patience is running thin, so I will also give you two choices..."
"One, answer my questions obediently, and then go back to being your reality-avoiding female drunkard."
"Two, I beat you down, and then I find the answers myself.
