The cheers throughout the arena came to an abrupt halt because of Jiang Li's question. Every gaze focused on the VIP box high above.
The Grandmaster's smile stiffened like a piece of dried cheese. He still held the "Melting Stick" used to melt his subordinates, his eyes darting about as he clearly had no desire to answer questions about Hulk.
"The big green guy? Which one? I don't remember." The Grandmaster played dumb, then shot a look at Topaz, the head guard beside him. His tone suddenly turned cold. "It seems our new champion is a little... emotionally unstable. Cool him down. In other words—execute him."
Topaz sneered and pressed the red remote control in her hand.
Any gladiator registered on Sakaar wore a neural toxin injector called an "Obedience Disc" around their neck. Though Jiang Li did not wear one, buried beneath the entire arena floor was a high-voltage shock grid powerful enough to instantly paralyze a Leviathan.
"Bzzzt—!"
Terrifying blue currents instantly covered the entire arena floor, turning it into a sea of lightning.
"Jiang! Watch out!" Thor shouted. He had once been shocked so badly by this trick that he could barely take care of himself.
Yet Jiang Li, standing at the center of the current, did not so much as move a hair.
"Electricity?"
Jiang Li stood amid the raging arcs, the Omnitrix dial emitting a gentle green glow that formed a spherical energy shield around him and Thor.
"If this had been yesterday, it might have worked. But now, my Omnitrix is in full-power master control mode."
Jiang Li raised his wrist, his fingers swiftly sliding across the dial as a cold, technological smile appeared on his face.
"Since you like playing with electronic devices, let me introduce you to a true 'hacking expert.'"
