Hearing the name announced by the other party, Lu Xiao paused.
Brünnhilde, who was shaking hands with Lu Xiao, felt something strange about him and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? My name is weird?"
"That's not true."
Lu Xiao's eyes flashed with curiosity: "Can I ask a personal question?"
Brünnhilde: "You ask, but I can't guarantee the answer."
Lu Xiao asked straight to the point: "Do you know Sigurd?"
The corner of Brünnhilde's mouth twitched obviously: "...Midgard still retains the legend of me and him?"
Seeing Brünnhilde's reaction, Lu Xiao knew that she had guessed correctly.
Brünnhilde is one of the most famous among the Valkyries, and has left many specious legends in the Nordic countries.
"Sigurd, the dragon-slaying hero, is also called Siegfried in some literary works. His deeds are recorded in the Volsungsaga, the Nibelungenlied and the Nibelungen
"The Ring".
"It is said that Sigurd fell in love with Brynhildr, the Valkyrie sent by Odin..."
"stop!"
Brünnhilde awkwardly interrupted Lu Xiao's narration: "There is no need to go into such detail...most of the descriptions in those literary works are true, but some of them have been artistically processed by later generations."
Brünnhilde did not tell Lu Xiao which part was fictional. Her attitude of not wanting to talk about it made it clear that Lu Xiao knew better and did not ask further questions.
No matter what happened between Sigurd and Brünnhilde, the great Nordic hero was only a human being with a lifespan of only a hundred years, and had long since passed away.
As an Asgardian, Brünnhilde has a long lifespan of thousands of years, and the deeds related to Sigurd are just a small experience in her long life.
"Ahem~ Let's change the topic."
Brünnhilde raised her hand and pointed to the high tower in the city: "The people you are looking for are all in that tower, but they will soon go to the Grand Arena to fight with each other."
"If you don't want to see them both lose, it's best to take action as soon as possible."
'Both sides suffer...'
If it were Thor before he awakened the power of lightning, the infinitely furious Hulk would indeed be a 50-50 match against him.
However, Thor's combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced after experiencing the battle of Hela. Referring to Hulk's record against Thanos, Lu Xiao does not think he can fight Thor to the point where both sides will suffer.
…
"Hulk! Hulk!"
When Lu Xiao and Yong Zhen, led by Brünnhilde, took an airship to the sky above the arena, the battle had just begun.
Thor recognized Hulk, and Hulk recognized Thor.
Thor called Banner's name in surprise, hoping to bring him back to Earth to reunite with the other Avengers.
However, the Hulk at this time was not Bruce Banner. Banner's consciousness was firmly suppressed in the depths of his soul by Hulk, and he could not hear Thor's call at all.
The immature Hulk hates being called Banner, and Thor's call will only make him more irritated.
Gladiators all use standard weapons issued by Gao Tianzun, and Thor, who temporarily joins the battle, is no exception. He is temporarily prohibited from using the Storm Axe.
Even so, Thor, who has awakened the power of thunder and lightning, is no longer what he used to be.
Annoyed by Thor's calls to Banner, the Hulk, with his simple thinking circuit, finally angrily attacked Thor.
Riding on Brünnhilde's spaceship, Lu Xiao didn't pay attention to the battle in the arena.
Even if Thor is temporarily at a disadvantage because he is unprepared, as long as he can adjust in time, Lu Xiao believes that at least he will not lose to Hulk.
Lu Xiao's eyes were focused on the VIP stand on the upper floor. A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes with a smile on his face and cold eyes was sitting alone in the box. He was surrounded by numerous beautiful maids.
.
"That's Gao Tianzun?"
"Yes."
Brünnhilde glanced at Gao Tianzun. As Gao Tianzun's most trusted bounty hunter, Brünnhilde had some privileges and could pilot an airship without weapons to watch the battle above the arena.
This also ensures that when a gladiator wants to escape, Brünnhilde can catch up to him immediately, knock him down and capture him.
Lu Xiao touched his chin thoughtfully: "How strong is he?"
"It's very weak. He rarely fights. When he has to, he only relies on the high-tech equipment of Sakaar."
"On the other hand, the ugly girl next to him is very strong. When I fight with her, I can only do half a fight. No one can do anything to anyone."
The ugly woman Brünnhilde is talking about is the bodyguard captain next to Gao Tianzun, a heroic woman with an unusually strong figure.
The VIP box where Gao Tianzun is located is protected by a high-strength energy barrier. A frontal breakthrough would be a waste of time, and it would also be easy to alert the enemy.
Lu Xiao looked at the two people in the arena below who were still punching and kicking each other. After pondering for a moment, he said to the two people beside him: "Brünnhilde, let's split up."
"You sneak into Gao Tianzun's box with Yongzhen and try to subdue him in one fell swoop. I'll stop the fight between Thor and Hulk."
The battlefield between Thor and Hulk is really a fight between gods. With the strength of Brynhildr and Yongzhen, they will only become cannon fodder if they rush into it.
Brünnhilde looked at Lu Xiao suspiciously: "Can you do it? It's not that I look down on you. Even if the fighting power of these two people is put into the universe, they can be regarded as the number one figures. You... are just a Midgardian.
Bar?"
Lu Xiao laughed: "Who said Midgardians are necessarily inferior to Asgardians?"
"Besides, I don't have to defeat them both one by one. I just need to stop the fighting between them."
Before Brünnhilde could react, Lu Xiao jumped off the airship with open arms.
A defensive and restrictive barrier was also deployed over the arena to prevent gladiators with the ability to fly from escaping from the air.
"Qiang!"
With the Uru Hidden Blades in both arms popping out, Lu Xiao took a stance on the way down, approaching the barrier and stabbing out the Hidden Blades at the same time.
"Click!"
The solid defensive barrier was penetrated like paper, and Lu Xiao landed in the center of the arena under the astonished gaze of thousands of spectators in the arena, landing right between Thor and Hulk who had distanced themselves.
"Lu? Why did you come to Saka Planet?"
Thor stopped immediately when he saw the person coming, but Hulk, who was excited to fight, didn't care so much.
He did not stop charging, still howling and smashing the giant hammer in his hand towards Lu Xiao who was blocking the middle.
Lu Xiao raised his hand to write runes in the air, and the space in front of Hulk was suddenly replaced. He walked out of the other corner of the arena with a confused look on his face, holding his war hammer high.
Gao Tianzun in the stands was full of questions: "Topaz, who is that?"
Topas replied expressionlessly: "How do I know? Not your gladiator?"
"I don't remember this..."
"Excuse me, I borrowed it."
Brünnhilde wandered in from the door with a bottle of wine in her hand. Topas smelled the smell of alcohol all over her body and showed disgust on her face.
"Oh, Valkyrie, you came just in time."
Gao Tianzun pointed at Lu Xiao who was talking to Thor in the arena and playing with Hulk between his palms: "Catch him. I have a hunch that he will become a very good gladiator."
"no problem."
Brünnhilde threw the bottle on the ground, and her long legs with well-proportioned muscles suddenly exerted their strength, aiming directly at Gao Tianzun, who still had a smile on his face.
"Boom!"
Topas, who had been paying attention to Brunhilde, moved sideways to block Gao Tianzun. Their fists collided in mid-air, setting off a circular energy wave in a small area.
