The next morning.
Today was the first day of the Aerial Martial Arts Festival.
In a few hours, the representative teams of the floating cities from all over the world would gather in the sky above the ninth artificial sky island as the competition venue. They would enter it one after another to compete for survival.
Thanks to this, all the squads of pilots woke up early in the morning. Some did morning exercises, some warmed up, and some adjusted their condition. Some even held combat meetings. It could be said that it was bustling with noise and excitement.
The representatives of the various academies and floating cities ignited the fighting spirit in their hearts, preparing for a new challenge.
Fighting against the strongest team from all over the world, competing for the title of the world's strongest, no matter who it was, was quite attractive.
At that moment, in the president's office in Noaisis Palace, Umiyer and his team, who represented Vibelle, also gathered together.
"We came as you ordered."
Umiyer, on behalf of the team, bowed his head to Jess. Although he expressed his respect, his attitude was neither servile nor overbearing.
"What can I do for you? Jess -sama? "
Yumiyer turned to Jayz, who was sitting behind his desk, for instructions.
Jayz looked at the representatives of Vibelle, who stood neatly in front of him led by Umiyer and showed a gratified smile.
"The Aerial Martial Arts Festival is about to begin. Are you ready?"
Jess comforted his subordinates.
"Of course." Umiyer's expression was full of fighting spirit, and he said eagerly, "I hope there is an opponent worthy of fighting in this so-called Aerial Martial Arts Festival."
Yumiyer had said such shameless words.
But as Umiyer's teammates, the rest of them believed it.
Only Jess shook his head and said.
"Don't forget, your task is not to fight against humans in this competition for survival. I will leave this task to someone else. You just need to follow the conditions of the competition and win until the end."
With that said, Jess also stared at Umiyer.
"Especially when you meet that person, you must not attack him rashly to avoid any accidents, understand?"
Yumiyer furrowed his brows in a blatant manner.
Seeing Yumiere like this, Jess knew that if he did not specifically instruct him, Yumiere would definitely take the initiative to look for that person.
This was because Yumiyer was a person who had a fanatical pursuit of battle. For an opponent that was worth fighting, he often did not mind sacrificing a lot.
Now that Umiyer knew of that person's existence, it was impossible for him not to be tempted.
In particular, Umiyer had heard about Kirsty being beaten up and severely injured in Wigart's mansion, which had piqued his interest.
Knowing how strong Kirsty was, Yumiyer's fighting spirit rose in him.
Even though Kirsty had been careless and didn't use the Power of Collapse at the beginning, and only used the Power of Curse, which resulted in such an outcome, the possibility of Kirsty being injured was enough to ignite Umiyer's fighting spirit.
"Absolutely not?"
Yumiyer confirmed with Jess again.
"Absolutely not."
Jess gave an unquestionable answer.
Even if all the members of Vibelle's team had the Power of Collapse, it was still too risky to fight against that person.
Yumiyer and his team's mission was to win in the Aerial Martial Arts Festival and show the power of the humanoid magic beetle to humans. If they died halfway, it would also have a big impact on Jess's plan.
As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry. Even if they had to fight, they had to wait until the end.
"There will always be a chance for you to fight. Please forgive me, Yumiyer."
Jess was trying to persuade Yumiyer.
"… Understood."
Yumiyer nodded reluctantly.
"Then, you guys go, remember to follow the plan."
Jess said.
"Yes."
Yumiyer immediately turned around and led his companions away from this place.
At this time, Jess said to his secretary, who had been accompanying him.
"Kirsty, how is Ligerite now?"
Jess asked.
Kirsty, who had been accompanying him, immediately replied.
"Because of the loss of her three beloved mutants and many Asmodeus, Ligerite is now very depressed."
Kirsty replied.
"I think so too."
Jess nodded without any surprise.
She was still young and didn't have any playmates of her age, so she loved her pet as though it was a toy to a child.
Now that all her toys were destroyed, it was natural for Ligerite to feel depressed.
"Please help me pass an order to her." Jess immediately said, "The content of the order is that on the first night of the Aerial Martial Arts Festival, she must intervene in the competition and clean up all the participants on the ninth artificial island."
Jess finally gave the order.
"Give my Asmodeus and the three mutants to Ligerite, so she should be willing to perform the task, right?"
Hearing that, Kirsty hesitated.
"Then should I warn Ligerite not to contact that human?" Kirsty whispered, "With Ligerite's personality, she must be very resentful after all her pets were destroyed by that human last time. If I send her, she will take revenge."
That would be a little dangerous.
How would Kirsti know of this?
"It doesn't matter." Jess said lightly, "As long as she can eliminate some of the human forces, cover Yumiyer and others, and focus that human's attention on her, then Ligerite's task will be completed."
Kirsti immediately understood the meaning of this sentence.
In other words, Jess was ready to abandon Ligerite.
Otherwise, once the Aerial Martial Arts Festival began, that human might directly target Yumiyer and others, which would affect Jess's plan.
In view of that, Jess sent Ligerite not only to weaken the human forces, but also to attract that human's attention, so that Yumiyer and others could avoid a premature battle with that human.
For this purpose, even if Ligerite's ability was precious, there was no other way.
In order to test Rozen's strength, Jess once used his own sister as bait, so it was normal for him to throw out another bait.
"Anyway, I will be able to replenish my combat power soon."
Jess looked out the window as if he could see something in a very distant place and muttered to himself.
"Soon …"
"Soon …"
"Wait for me …"
Jess murmured to himself, leaving Kirsti in silence.
Just like that, the time of the battle was getting closer and closer.
At a certain moment, a bell-like sound rang throughout Pope's floating city, announcing the arrival of the battle.
