Everyone in the judging room was waiting for the award ceremony to begin soon. However, while they were waiting, there was an unexpected incident.
The door of the judging room was pushed open, and two witches came in.
The one in front was wearing an airtight uniform, but it still failed to hide her curvaceous figure. She looked mature and seductive. However, she was wearing glasses and had her long, wavy hair neatly tied up, which made her look less sexy and more restrained.
Behind her was a female apprentice wearing a pure white robe.
The two witches quickly entered the room. The judges didn't pay much attention to the apprentices behind them. However, they all lowered their heads to greet the well-dressed witch in front of them. "Madam Yada."
In Floating Mech City, when people mentioned "Yada", they would think of one of the two city lords, the famous "Beast Emperor" Lawson Yada.
The person who was called "Lady Yada" was actually Beast Emperor Lawson's daughter.
She was Melantha Yada.
Melantha nodded to the judges with a calm expression and quickly walked toward the special judge.
"Hello, Wizard Padt." Melantha looked a little embarrassed when she walked past Angor, but she still nodded politely.
Outsiders didn't know why Melantha was embarrassed, but Angor clearly knew.
Melantha used to work in the Sky Tower of Brute Cavern's underground market as a supervisor for a long time. Angor met Melantha when he was climbing the tower.
They didn't have anything to do with each other at first. However, when Baroque plotted against Angor, Angor became wary of Melantha.
Now, Angor had become a wizard and a member of the research department. Melantha couldn't help but think about what happened when she saw Angor again. If she stopped Baroque, things wouldn't be so awkward right now.
Angor also understood why Melantha was so embarrassed. However, Angor didn't feel much hostility toward Melantha since Baroque was the mastermind behind the scheme.
Angor didn't say anything. He nodded politely and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with, Supervisor Melantha?"
Melantha said, "I have something to discuss with The Observer."
Melantha sighed in relief and walked to Hydra's side.
Farrina whispered to Angor, "Why do I feel that Melantha is a little uneasy when she sees you? Could there be … some secret between the two of you? "
"Melantha was in charge of climbing the Sky Tower in Brute Cavern."
"Oh? Is that all? "
"Yes."
Farrina stared at Angor with disbelief in her eyes. However, she didn't ask further because Melantha had already told Hydra the reason for her visit.
Melantha didn't lower her voice, so everyone in the judging room could hear her.
"Sir Observer, there's a situation in Onassis. I hope you can go and help." Melantha's tone was urgent. She was obviously anxious.
Something happened to Onassis? Everyone looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
The award ceremony was about to begin, and the audience in Infinity Arena had yet to leave. They were all waiting excitedly for the final moment. But at this moment, something happened to the champion, Onassis? Everyone now understood why Melantha sounded so anxious. It was indeed an urgent matter.
"What happened?" Hydra's voice was still dull. They could hear something buzzing in their ears.
Melantha signaled an apprentice behind her to step forward. "Cesha, you explain to Sir Observer."
The apprentice in a white robe didn't dare to look Hydra in the eyes. She lowered her head and quickly explained, "Sir Observer, my name is Cesha, a member of the medical team. Here's the thing. We checked the philosopher and found no injuries. But he's acting very strange … "
Cesha told him the whole story.
When Onassis arrived at the infirmary, his eyes were still glowing red, and he would laugh eerily from time to time. He was also muttering the words "darkness and light" that he used in the final match.
Originally, the medical team only needed to take care of Onassis's injuries. After checking that Onassis was very healthy, they didn't pay much attention to Onassis's strange behavior at first.
But then, something happened.
"The philosopher seemed to have returned to normal for a moment," Cesha said.
"Returned to normal for a moment?" Hydra was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"His eyes were no longer red, and he didn't laugh eerily. He even sent out a complete logical message," Cesha explained. Cesha explained, "However, this only lasted for an instant. Soon, he returned to his crazy self."
Hydra pondered for a moment. "You said that he sent out a complete logical message. What do you mean?"
"Actually, our medical team didn't pay attention to the philosopher after confirming that he wasn't injured. It was the Illusory Deer contestant in the infirmary who found out and told us. At that moment, the philosopher sent out a distress signal to the Fantasy Deer. "
"Distress signal?" It wasn't just Hydra. Everyone's gaze was fixed on Cesha.
It was Cesha's first time being stared at by so many people. Her body trembled slightly as she became nervous.
Melantha walked up and explained the rest of the situation for Cesha. "Yes, Tromm received his distress signal."
Onassis had only been awake for a short period of time, so he used a type of Jabal ciphertext that could transmit mental signals.
The original version of the Jabal ciphertext was an "oracle" that the Abyss Demon God passed down to his believers. After many years of modification and evolution, it finally evolved into the Jabal ciphertext that could be used by Wizards. Tromm stayed in the Abyss all year round, so he happened to know how to decipher the Jabal ciphertext.
The information he could decipher was actually not much.
At first, it was a simple distress signal. But later, Onassis seemed to have thought of something and added that he wanted to use the reward for the winner of the Rising Star Competition. He hoped that the officials of the Tower of Infinity would suppress his inner demons.
If it was just a distress signal, no one would care. But since he wanted to use the reward for the winner and made a request to the officials, it had to be taken seriously.
After the medical team heard this from Tromm, they immediately went to Melantha.
Melantha immediately went to the infirmary to check on the situation. She found that Onassis was indeed in a very strange state. If you didn't attack him, he would be completely immersed in his own world. But if he was stimulated by the outside world, he would launch a crazy counterattack.
Furthermore, in such a strange state, Onassis would not be able to fully function.
The award ceremony would be held soon. If Onassis couldn't participate in the "ceremony", the Rising Star Competition would end badly. Therefore, Melantha took Onassis's situation seriously.
However, she didn't find anything. As for the "inner demons" that Onassis mentioned, she couldn't do anything.
Seeing that the award ceremony was getting closer, Melantha could only hurry to the judging room. She hoped that Hydra could give her some advice.
