Valkyrie put down the bottle of wine she had consumed in one gulp, walked to the other side, flipped a gold coin and purchased another dozen bottles of wine.
Thor followed her footsteps through the barrier.
"Then I realized you're all women! Of course there's nothing wrong with you all being women! I like women! Sometimes I like them a little too much!"
"It's not some obscene or lewd kind of affection, but rather one filled with respect and admiration! I think it's amazing to have such an elite unit of female warriors! It's long overdue!"
After saying this, he gave a thumbs-up.
Valkyrie took the dozen glasses of wine handed to her by the serving robot and looked at Thor calmly.
"Are you finished?"
At this time, a soldier shouted: "Contestant! It's your turn!!!"
Thor quickly looked at Valkyrie: "Please! Help me! I need you!"
"Bye!" Valkyrie remained unmoved. She waved at him and then attempted to leave with the bottles of wine.
Thor was somewhat disappointed by this and could not help but mock her:
"Well! I think you're either a traitor or a coward! Because Valkyries are sworn to protect the throne!"
Hearing his words, Valkyrie paused in her departure.
She turned back and walked over to Thor.
"Listen up! Your Highness! This is Sakaar! Not Asgard! I'm a scavenger warrior! Not some Valkyrie!"
At this time, several soldiers came over and tried to escort him to the arena. Thor, who was furious, immediately knocked one of them down with an elbow strike.
Another soldier immediately activated the electric shock device on his neck.
Thor immediately fell to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.
The leading soldier shouted: "Bring him here and prepare him!"
Valkyrie taunted Thor, who was lying on the ground: "No one can escape from this place! You're dead no matter what!"
Thor, numbed from the electric shock, was dragged away by the soldiers. He looked at Valkyrie angrily, believing her to be a traitor.
He was led to a specialized chair, and the chair's strong magnetic field immediately secured his bracelet firmly. Two soldiers then shackled his feet.
An alien approached from behind him and held him down.
"Now! Try not to move around! My hands aren't as steady as they used to be!"
Thor turned his head and saw a familiar elderly man emerging from the side, holding barbering tools in his hands.
"By Odin! You cannot cut my hair! Otherwise you will incur the wrath of Thor!"
"Hahaha!" The old man didn't take it seriously. He flipped a switch, and the tool in his hand immediately unfolded and began spinning wildly.
Looking at this device, Thor couldn't help but plead: "Please! Have mercy! Don't cut my hair, okay? Please! No!!!"
In the end, Thor was unable to save his hair and let out a shrill scream of despair.

Pietro covered his mouth with a look of horror: "Oh! My God! Poor Thor! Will he be shaved completely bald?"
He imagined the scene and shuddered! He had once been somewhat envious of Thor's magnificent golden hair, but now it looked like he would lose it!
Tony tilted his head, feeling somewhat helpless about this old man who could be seen everywhere.
"This old man is really everywhere! He has appeared on Sakaar again!"
Captain America nodded: "He seems to be very keen on playing random roles near us and making us forget about his existence afterwards!"
"Last time it was an astronaut, and this time he came to Sakaar to shave Thor's head! Hahaha!" Maria Hill laughed, wondering what Thor felt about this.

The scene shifted to the Colosseum, which was already packed with spectators. Numerous drones flew overhead, providing illumination for the arena.
The Grandmaster stood in the center of the arena, his figure magnified by holographic projection, allowing all spectators to see him clearly.
"Wow! Look at you! Magnificent show, magnificent night! Are you enjoying it?"
The audience cheered enthusiastically.
"I'm your host. Please give us another round of applause! For the challengers who died in today's preliminary matches! Their spirit is worthy of admiration!"
Valkyrie maneuvered her spacecraft to the top of the arena. After transforming its configuration and hovering in the air, she sat on the side, carrying several bottles of wine, and watched the Grandmaster's speech below.
"A wonderful performance! A wonderful night! It was a worthwhile experience for everyone, just like it was for me!"
Korg and Miek followed the other fighters to their viewing area, gazing at the arena through the protective railings.
"Now, enough small talk! The competition officially begins!"
Loki arrived at the VIP room, picked up a glass of wine, and walked to the front.
"Although this is his debut, he seems to have tremendous potential! He's definitely got some skills! I won't say much, just witness it for yourself! Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome... Lord of Thunder!!!"
Thor emerged from behind the door, holding a shield in his left hand, a large mace in his right hand, and two daggers strapped to his back!
At this time, he had a short buzz cut and a streak of red war paint across his face.
He looked around and saw that the audience was not optimistic about his chances, and there was considerable booing echoing throughout!
He didn't care about what these spectators thought and strode confidently toward the center of the arena.
"Watch out for his fingers, he can emit electric sparks!"
After teasing Thor, the Grandmaster rubbed his hands with obvious anticipation.
"Okay! That's it! We welcome this warrior! Here he comes!"
The drones in the sky released numerous green smoke bombs.
A thunderous roaring sound came from the door behind Thor. He immediately turned around cautiously. The door shook violently and smoke and dust rose from underneath.
The Grandmaster spoke slowly: "This creature! How can I put it? Well! He is unique! No one can compare to him! I feel a mysterious connection with him!"
Thor stuck his mace into the ground, looked at the door that was constantly shaking, and retrieved a protective helmet from his chest and placed it on his head.
Even though the distance was considerable and there was a heavy iron door between them, he could still sense the threat of the terrifying monster behind the barrier!
"He is unbeatable! He is supreme! He is the defender! Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome... the invincible..."
The massive door slowly opened.
Loki smiled excitedly, looking forward to Thor's upcoming battle.
Before the door was fully opened, the impatient Hulk burst out, holding an enormous axe in one hand and a massive hammer in the other, and roared toward the arena.
