It was the highest standard and was specially set up for battles between Gold Core experts. There was only one such arena in the entire Combat Cultivation Hall. When the power of the protective shield was maximized, even a top expert in the Land like Superintendent Erza would find it difficult to easily destroy it. However, it would require a massive amount of energy to activate and maintain it. Although Wang Zhong and Phumetheus were freaks in the Celestial Honors Class, this kind of arena was enough for them to fight until the sky darkened.
At that moment, the sky was already bright, and a massive crowd had already gathered around the Life and Death Arena. Furthermore, not only were there internal members of the Heavenly Gates, but there were also many unfamiliar faces in the Heavenly Gates.
These unfamiliar faces did not only refer to the Celestial Honors Highnesses who had suddenly returned from their missions in order to watch this battle, but they also did not refer to some hidden powerhouses who would not easily show themselves in the depths of the Heavenly Gates. Instead, there were many 'outsiders' from all over the Land. They did not belong to the Heavenly Gates, but were representatives of the various great powers in the Land, some level-7 civilizations, or powerful civilizations like the Roc Race but did not have a civilization level. This was an unprecedented grand occasion.
This was not a gathering that had been attracted by a rumor.
An Earth civilization that had just stepped into the Star Alliance was qualified to fight against the core generation of the Fire Demon Race. This in itself was a very miraculous thing. Furthermore, in the past few days, a type of core information called the 'Heavenly Gates Internal Reference' had been sent to the various large forces through messengers, and the information that was passed on was about this battle.
A private battle within the Heavenly Gates was sent to the various great powers in the Land as the Heavenly Gates Internal Reference. Everyone was quite clear about the significance of this. It was obvious that the Fire Demon Race had never treated Wang Zhong as a true enemy from the very beginning. They let others watch the battle so that others could see how the Fire Demon Race would slap the Heavenly Shell Race in the face!
The spacious spectator stands were filled with people, and even countless spectators were floating in the air. The entire Life and Death Arena seemed to be surrounded by a sea of people, and there was a hubbub of voices.
"Look, the superintendent is here!"
"Is that Elder Miehill? He is one of the top ten almighty Gold Cores in the Fire Demon Race. It is said that he once held the position of the Heavenly Gates superintendent … "
"That is Elder Yimo!"
Whispers resounded incessantly in the surroundings. The arrival of one great figure after another added a tense and diverse atmosphere to the battle. But anyone with a brain knew that this battle was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.
"It hasn't been peaceful in the Land recently …"
"Not long ago, the Kabi Civilization and the Deer Worm Civilization were destroyed, and a bunch of veteran level-4 and level-5 civilizations were wiped out. Now, even the Fire Demon Race and the Heavenly Shell Race can't sit still anymore?"
"Every two or three eras in the Star Alliance, there will always be a reign of terror and a redistribution of power. The Fire Demons and the Heavenly Shell are the true controllers of this redistribution of power. A level-6 or level-7 civilization like us is just a small boat in this storm. Whether we can survive depends on fate and whether we are standing in the right position. "
"This battle is a signal. In the near future, one of the Fire Demons and Heavenly Shell Clans will definitely fall. Open your eyes and choose your side. If you choose wrongly, you will be consigned to eternal damnation."
"This Wang Zhong is merely a child from a low-leveled civilization. Can his victory in this battle represent the strength of the Heavenly Shell race?"
"Did you just enter the Star Alliance? No experience? This means that the Heavenly Shell Race now has the upper hand and can advance or retreat at will. Meanwhile, the Fire Demon Race has already closed in and used the combat strength of their core sequences. "
"… Then should we cheer for whoever has the upper hand and show our attitude?"
"Stupid. There's no need to be anxious. This is just a preface to the signal to start a war. The earlier you choose your side, the higher the possibility of choosing wrongly. "
"You can't say that. The strength of the Fire Demons and Heavenly Shell Clans is similar. The earlier we choose our side, the more help we will be to them. In the early stages of the battle, we will have a higher chance of suppressing the other party. Naturally, your weight will be greater. The merit of following the dragon is completely different from adding icing on the cake. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. "
"Heh heh. The earlier you choose your side, the faster you will die. Don't forget that it is not easy for the Fire Demon Race and the Heavenly Shell Race to kill each other, but it is very easy for them to kill a level-6 or level-7 civilization. You are sticking your head out."
"It's just that your choice is different. If you choose your side too late, it is very likely that you will face displeasure and pressure from both sides. Either way, you will die."
"Sigh. When the gods fight, we mortals suffer. No matter what choice we make, it will be difficult!"
The buzzing around the Life and Death Arena was endless. Most of the discussions were unrelated to the main character of this battle. There were too many level-6 and level-7 civilizations who had come to watch the battle. After receiving the internal notice from the Fire Demon Race in the Heavenly Gates, even if they did not want to come to such an occasion, they still had to come. Recently, there had been various disturbances and various small disturbances in the Land, indicating that a storm was about to arrive. As long as they were in the Star Alliance or the Land, they would definitely not be able to stay out of this matter.
In fact, choosing to leave the Star Alliance at such a time like the Ocean Empire Planet was actually a gamble choice. They would first grasp the timing and leave the center of the storm before the true higher-ups of the Star Alliance erupted. Furthermore, they would use various rules to ensure that they were not destroyed. As long as they had a certain level of self-protection, when the true storm arrived, they would be able to watch from the sidelines. When the various large civilizations fought to the death, almost no one would have the time to deal with them. In fact, they would not even think about them. This was the main reason why the Ocean Empire Planet had chosen to leave the Star Alliance back then.
Furthermore, there were not too many taboos. They did not even need to avoid the eyes and ears of the Heavenly Shell Race and the Fire Demon Race. Both races were now secretly roping in the level-6 and level-7 civilizations' supporters to strengthen their own forces. They also knew that these level-6 and level-7 civilizations were hesitating to make a choice. Instead of pressuring them to secretly discuss behind their backs, it was better to be transparent and show a state of freedom of speech. In any case, they would still be under their supervision.
Other than the representatives of these major forces, there were also people from the Heavenly Gates. The scope of the discussion was more or less related to this battle. However, just like the previous hot topics, there were very few discussions about victory and defeat. At most, it was to see whether Wang Zhong could persist in the Life and Death Arena to the point where he could move the Heavenly Shell Race or the Heavenly Gates Cabinet to take action for him.
In the other seats that belonged to the Heavenly Gates, many fans of the Fire Demon Race or pure fans of Phumetheus occupied the majority of the seats. Although they knew that this was a competition between the Heavenly Shell Race and the Fire Demon Race, it was obvious that in terms of background and strength, Phumetheus was more optimistic about him. This was very simple. Cheering for Wang Zhong might not offend the Heavenly Shell Race. After all, to the Heavenly Shell Race, Wang Zhong was just a chess piece that could be abandoned at any time. However, if they stood on Wang Zhong's side, they would definitely offend the Fire Demon Race.
Although Celeste and the others had arrived early and were sitting in the high seats of the eastern stands, there were not many people around them. There were only Titan Tsarisiya, tree person Nibaru, bone demon Pavaro, and a few others. Suddenly, they saw a fellow with a headscarf walking over sneakily. Tsarisiya furrowed his eyebrows and was about to shout for him to scram when he saw bone demon Pavaro greet that person. "Jonas? Why are you wrapped up so tightly? "
"Shh!" Flying Pig sat down beside the bone demon. Although bone demons were also very terrifying existences, he did not dare to approach Celeste and Tsarisiya. "Keep your voice down. If someone discovers that I'm sitting with you, I'll be finished … I'm not as fierce as you. Furthermore, I have a father above me." Flying Pig's eyes lit up.
Tsarisiya glanced at him.
"Can't you sit further away?" Pavaro also furrowed his eyebrows.
"Sit with those people who want my boss to die? I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold it in and jump up to fight them. Most importantly, I can't beat them. Wouldn't it be a pity if I was defeated by them? "Jonas had a vigilant expression.
"You coward." Tsarisiya was lying on the stands. He sat in a seat for three people and had a look of disgust on his face.
Jonas's face turned red. He could not find anything to refute, but he did not dare to provoke this fierce character that everyone in the Pill Refinery Hall was afraid of. Just as he did not know how to get out of this situation, he heard Celeste calmly say, "Phumetheus is here."
A dazzling red light swept over from the distant sky. In the blink of an eye, it had traveled a long distance and landed on the Life and Death Arena.
Bang.
There was no need to show off. The moment it landed, the flames on its body naturally dissipated, and a handsome man in plain clothes stood on the arena. It was as if he was not stained by a speck of dust. He nodded slightly to the Heavenly Shell Superintendent, Elder Miehill, and the others in the main seats of the stands.
"Your Highness Phumetheus!"
As soon as he appeared, the originally noisy scene suddenly became much quieter. Everyone knew that he was the real protagonist of today, especially the few members of the Celestial Honors Class who had returned from their Celestial Honors Mission in advance and were currently floating in the sky. At this moment, they all put away their previous indifference and carefully observed Phumetheus, who was below the arena.
Unlike Lavel, who had already entered the Heavenly River Tide list and was preparing to become an extraordinary figure, they were not on this batch of Heavenly River Tide list. They were all competitors with each other. Regardless of whether they would stay in the Heavenly Gates in the future to compete for a high position or to fight for a spot in the next Heavenly River Tide, the competition and competition between these Celestial Honors Highnesses was quite intense. Moreover, after this Heavenly River Tide, Lavel and a group of extraordinary figures would leave. Phumetheus would have a very high chance of becoming the future leader of the Celestial Honors Class. Anyone who wanted to compete with him would have a very good opportunity to observe.
"There is an element of luck in the Heavenly Demon Realm mission. Who knows if he relied on his true strength or luck to achieve it? I hope that his opponent in this battle can force him to show something so that we can see more. "
"It's very difficult. Although his resume is overflowing with talent, he is still a Void Core."
"Phumetheus's Solid Core is already perfect …" Several Celestial Honors Highnesses in the sky secretly communicated with each other, their eyes shining. "His aura has also become more stable. It seems that the experience in the Heavenly Demon Realm over the past two years has cleansed him a lot. He must have accumulated enough for the last step. Compared to perfection, he only lacks a second-stage true form."
"Hmph, the members of the Celestial Honors Class who are stuck at this level are all pursuing this … As long as he hasn't taken this step, he can't be said to have surpassed the others."
"Huh?"
A Celestial Honor Highness narrowed his eyes slightly. Just as everyone was talking, a gray figure had quietly appeared on the Life and Death Arena.
This person was too low-key, so low-key that many people at the scene did not notice him at all. The slightly thin human figure did not seem to have the slightest aura. Compared to Phumetheus, who was the center of attention, he was like a star compared to the sun. He was so small that he was not worth mentioning, and he did not have any sense of existence. It wasn't until someone in the stands mentioned him that many people saw him. However, they only 'saw' him. The low buzz caused by Phumetheus's appearance did not affect him in the slightest, especially the representatives of the major forces. They only glanced at him out of the corner of their eyes and said, "Ah, Phumetheus's opponent is here." Then, they did not say anything else.
To put it bluntly, the focus of these people was not on this Earthling. The result of this battle had long been determined, and the Earthling was destined to be a tragic figure. As the first named victim in the battle between the Fire Demon Race and the Heavenly Shell Race, perhaps in the distant future, he would be recorded in the historical background as' On a certain day, Fire Demon Race Phumetheus killed Wang Zhong, a supporter of the Heavenly Shell Race's faction, in the Heavenly Gates Life and Death Arena, thus opening the prelude to the battle between the two races. 'Other than that, his existence was meaningless to everyone.
"Junior Brother Wang Zhong." Phumetheus smiled slightly and focused his gaze on Wang Zhong's face. "You really did not let me down. At least, you have enough courage to stand here and face it. So, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, you have earned my respect."
Although his voice was not loud, it clearly spread throughout the audience. Phumetheus positioned himself as the future leader of the Heavenly Gates and even the successor of the Fire Demon Race. Phumetheus and Lavel were not the same kind of people. Lavel's ambition was in the sky, but Phumetheus's was right in front of her. No matter where he appeared, he wanted to dominate the rhythm there. This was his habit and his instinct.
The buzz of discussion around them had gradually and completely quieted down. They were led by the faint confidence in Phumetheus's tone and involuntarily followed the rhythm of his thoughts.
"His Highness Phumetheus is really too gentlemanly. He is still so polite to this kind of low-leveled civilization."
"Heh heh, regardless of whether he is from a low-leveled civilization or not, he is still a member of the Celestial Honors Class. His Highness Phumetheus will give him a certain amount of respect. This is his upbringing."
There were some bootlicking sounds in the audience, not too many or too few. They were all concentrated in the circle of some Heavenly Gates pupils, making the scene relatively quiet. The various great powers had always kept their mouths shut on such occasions. It was fine to talk about other things, but they would definitely be very cautious and would not easily speak about any sensitive topics.
"Save your respect for me." Wang Zhong also smiled slightly. Unlike his previous humble self in the mushroom house, Wang Zhong seemed to be low-key and reserved, but his words sounded like a sharp blade that was about to be unsheathed. "Because you didn't have the chance to use it."
Being humble and keeping a low profile in private was his upbringing, as there was no need for such a debate. However, in such a place, once one's aura was overwhelmed by the other party and one entered a passive state, it was likely to affect one's mentality during the entire battle. Although Lao Wang did not feel that he was really inferior to the other party, when experts fought, they would definitely fight for the slightest bit. How could he let the other party take advantage of him for no reason?
The buzzing sounds in the audience instantly turned silent. This was the first time that everyone had reacted to Wang Zhong's existence.
What did that Earthling say just now? Was he rejecting His Highness Phumetheus's kindness and politeness? He really thought of himself as the protagonist.
Even Phumetheus could not help but laugh and did not respond to Wang Zhong's words. He did not mind Wang Zhong taking advantage of him verbally, but it was different for Phumetheus's fans. Even the representatives of the major powers who remained neutral could not help it. Of course, the target of their criticism was limited to the stupid Earthling and did not involve the battle between the two races.
"Does he mean that Phumetheus might lose to him? Such shameless boasting. The ignorant are truly fearless. "
"Heh heh, is this the unwillingness of a nobody? He just needs to cooperate with the two races and leave his life in the hands of the heavens. He actually thinks of himself as the protagonist. "
"I thought that he was forced to come on stage for some special reason. I didn't expect him to be a complete idiot …"
"Haha, he has been in the Heavenly Gates for a year, but there is not even a single person who cheers for him. How does he have the confidence to say such words?"
There was endless ridicule from all around.
"Wang Zhong! Come on! "
"Hey, Earthling, show him what you're made of! I just don't like the Fire Demon Race's pretentiousness. "
"Nibaru!"
"Boss, come on!"
A few different voices suddenly sounded, and they were particularly eye-catching among the countless waves of laughter around them, causing the surroundings to fall silent.
In a situation where the entire Heavenly Gates did not think highly of him, where did this idiot come from?
Many people could not help but look over. In the end, when they saw who it was, most of them shut up.
The people in the Land knew that the Bone Demon Race was born with single cells and did not socialize. Thus, they did not need to care about him. But when they looked at the others, such as the daughter of the Heavenly Shell Crown Prince, the gold Titan, and the green-patterned tree person, they were all figures that most people present could not afford to offend … Oh, wait a minute. Who was that fellow whose head was wrapped up as if he had been seriously injured? He was even waving his hand with such vigor.
When they sensed the gazes around them, Celeste and the others did not care, but Jhonas instantly felt as if he was about to die.
"Look at his short stature. He seems to be from the Illusion race?"
"He is calling that Earthling Boss. Could he be the fat pig from the Equipment Refinery Hall who is in the same dormitory as the Earthling?"
It was obvious that the bandana could not wrap around the flying pig's short stature. Jhonas's small and fat hand that was waving in the air instantly froze. He simply wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
Initially, when he saw the noise coming from all directions, he thought that his voice would not be conspicuous among the crowd. Thus, he could not help but shout along with the bone demon and was especially excited. However, the scene had suddenly quietened down, and everyone was looking at him. What was going on? Furthermore, they had seen through him in an instant. Did these people have eyes of discerning? How could they recognize him?
"Jhonas! What's going on with you?! "
"Jhonas! Get over here immediately! What right do you have to participate in such a battle? Are you trying to kill your entire race?! " A few furious voices instantly exploded in Jhonas's ears. They were the voices of the seniors in the Illusion race. Although they were only a level-5 civilization, the Illusion race possessed massive wealth and had a certain status in the Star Alliance. Furthermore, in a war between high-leveled civilizations, resources would usually be used up in the end. Rich families like the Illusion race were definitely the ones they wanted to rope in the most. They obviously had a copy of the Heavenly Gates Internal Ginseng. The seniors in their race had also arrived, including the old man Jhonas. At that moment, he angrily sent a voice transmission.
"Nibaru." Beside him, the tree person cast a disdainful gaze at him. It was obvious that he was rather disdainful of this fellow who hid his face and dared to sit with him.
"Hurry up and get lost." Tsarisiya rolled his eyes at him.
