The demons of the South Area were still wreaking havoc, and the Cree people had no choice but to retreat. This was not to say that the arrogant Cree people were afraid of these demons. They were a huge empire that ruled over dozens of galaxies. If they really wanted to fight with these demons of the Abyss, victory was inevitable. But the head of the Cree Empire, the "Supreme Wisdom" of the mechanical lifeform that gathered the wisdom of the wisest Cree people in history, did not seem to think that a fight was the best choice.
The Scarred Star System was a barren star system. If it wasn't for the expansion of the New Star Corps, the rich Kelly Empire wouldn't even send a single soldier there. Occupying it wouldn't add to the glory of the empire.
But now, the New Star Army had retreated to two galaxies away. And inside the Scarred Galaxy, even the most ordinary assault ship could clearly feel the strong space distortion through the energy collector. The galaxy was collapsing from the inside, and the demons showed a pattern of action. It was not the madness of doomsday, but the last carnival.
All this showed that this would be the last time these demons would invade the border, so they might as well let them be.
Of course, not all of the Kree commanders were willing to swallow their anger. Many of the generals, who viewed victory as more important than anything else, were eager to start a war of expulsion. However, their proposals were rejected by the parliament every time. This was very normal. One of the Kree Empire's most warlike warlords, the Accuser Luo Nan, had died there. Any normal ruler wouldn't take the risk again.
Similarly, this was also the idea of Queen Adora of the New Star Army. It could not be called cowardice, but the best solution after repeated thinking.
Of course, these things had nothing to do with the current Saber. When he left the Scarred Galaxy, he threw the matter of the demons to the back of his mind. Anyway, no matter how bad the situation was, the demons would not die out. At worst, there would be another invasion by Xander, and these cockroach-like guys would be alive and kicking again.
Now, Saber was standing in the middle of a super-large arena that could accommodate 300,000 people on Planet Saka. He was being pointed at by the people from this special planet. Some people who came to watch the battle with anticipation even cursed at him.
"Get this shorty out!"
"We want to see the big guy, Sieg!"
"Get him out! Get him out! "
Different languages converged under the clear sky to form a terrible voice:
"Scram! Scram! "
Obviously, these spectators who were used to watching gladiators were very dissatisfied with Saber being the first to fight in the opening battle of the championship.
First of all, he was not famous. On this warlike planet, almost no one knew him.
Secondly, he looked too thin and weak. His body was like a stick, and his arms were like matchsticks. He did not have the muscles and personal weapons that a gladiator champion should have. He even went into the arena with his bare hands, unlike the previous champions who had exaggerated paint on their faces or dressed very savagely.
In the end, this person's expression was too quiet. This was not good. At least for the gladiator champion, this was terrible!
The Gladiator Arena was a place where emotions were very important. Some famous gladiators might not be very strong, but they knew how to use some exaggerated gestures and arrogant postures, as well as some fancy weapons and iconic movements to quickly mobilize the audience's emotions, making them go crazy for them and roar because of their every move.
A successful gladiator should not only be good at fighting, but he should also be a qualified actor. At the very least, he should know how to make the audience like him.
The tallest building on Saka Planet was where Gao Tianzun lived. Even higher up, there was a metal pillar that looked like the totem of a barbarian tribe. The four most powerful gladiators in history were engraved on it. Without exception, all of them had used their performance to conquer the entire Saka Planet. The battle of the champions had been going on for thousands of years, but only four of them were engraved on the pillar. This showed the importance of "acting skills" in a gladiator battle.
Unfortunately …
"Hey, Saber, do two things to make them stop scolding you. Oh my god, this is the worst opening battle in history!"
Gao Tianzun's dissatisfied voice rang in Saber's ears. "They all hate you. I say, you have to make them like you …"
"To be honest, I don't think the difference between these people liking me and hating me will make the battle easier or more difficult. This is like 300,000 people standing together to watch a monkey dance! And I am that monkey! "
Saber said with dissatisfaction.
"I'm already suppressing the urge to rush into the audience and kill all those Joker. If I were you, I would hurry up and let this terrible thing end quickly!"
"Tsk, tsk. What an unqualified champion gladiator!"
Gao Tianzun snorted. Standing at the highest point of the stage, he sat on a luxurious sofa piled with white fur. Two maids with perfect looks and figures knelt on the ground on either side of him, holding washed berries and wine in their hands. They remained motionless in awkward postures. No one paid any attention to them. They were no different from the other furnishings in the splendid hall.
To the universe elder, life was placed in front of him in a different way, and that was that it was meaningless.
"Then I hope that when you kill that monster, you can make these guys who are insulting you shut up. You have to know that for a gladiator fight, the audience is as important as the gladiator. Without them, no matter how good the fight is, it will be meaningless."
"They mean nothing to me, too!"
Saber pulled his left hand on the gauntlet on his right hand and whispered, "I'm not here for their cheers."
"But you are already here. If I were you, I would calm down and experience this rare journey."
Gao Tianzun's voice was low, but in the next moment, his huge projection appeared in the center of the arena. He was still sitting in a somewhat ruffian posture, playing with a scepter in his hand. His white hair was neatly combed in a strange way, and he was looking straight ahead. Although the projection seemed to be facing one direction, this kind of advanced projection equipment could ensure that everyone sitting in the arena, no matter where they were facing, could see Gao Tianzun's face.
"Good evening, citizens of Saka who love gladiators. Today is the opening battle of our 814th Battle of the Champions. In the past thousands of years, it is precisely because of such a cruel battle that is famous in the universe that our terrible lives have not become more boring. All of Saka is enjoying it! We love it more than our own lives! "
"Let's cheer for the championship battle! This is the symbol of Saka. This is its pride. This is the meaning of your existence and the honor that fate has given you. Come on! Let's cheer for the honor! "
"Hooray!"
"Long live the championship battle!"
"The championship is supreme!"
“Wagggggh！”
It had to be said that Gao Tianzun was absolutely the best when it came to setting the atmosphere. Of course, it could also be because he was the supreme ruler and creator of this planet. In the hearts of the audience of all kinds of races, he was the god of this planet. In fact, that was indeed the case.
The cheers came one after another until the final moment, almost turning the night sky upside down. Gao Tianzun nodded in satisfaction amidst the noise. He raised his left hand and pressed it down. In less than five seconds, all the cheers quieted down.
"Tonight is the opening match of the Battle of the Champions. According to past traditions, the previous champion should step forward to accept the challenges of the rookies. You might be asking, where did the previous champion, the Spartan Star's big guy, Sieg, who made his opponents tremble in fear go? Why are we seeing a human who is as thin as a stick? "
"Shhh!"
Gao Tianzun mysteriously put his finger to his mouth and made a gesture of silence.
"Forget about Sieg. I can guarantee you that tonight, you will see the most terrifying monster in the universe. You will also see how this unknown gladiator kills it. By the way, we will give each gladiator a nickname. This is one of our great traditions. I call this mysterious gladiator 'Overlord.' What will you call him after the battle?"
"Now … the battle begins!!!"
As Gao Tianzun waved his left hand fiercely toward the sky, his projection dissipated from the Colosseum in an explosive manner. The light spots rushed into the sky like the most gorgeous fireworks, illuminating the sky of the super-large Colosseum. Amidst the cheers of the audience, eight large transport spaceships appeared above the Colosseum, carrying a vibrating metal box. Under the expectant gaze of the audience, the box was thrown into the Colosseum.
The moment it landed on the ground, a thick layer of golden energy shield appeared around the audience. This was an energy shield that would only be activated in an extremely dangerous battle. This also meant that what was happening in front of them was very likely the most terrifying and blood-boiling battle of the championship … the "Death Battle"!
Only one person would be able to walk out alive, or perhaps no one would be able to walk out alive. It was a true bloodbath, a true battle of life and death, a wild battle that could cause adrenaline to take over one's body in an instant. The moment the energy shields were refreshed, a third of the people stood up in unison and raised their arms high, cheering for their impending death.
"Clang! Clang!"
It was as if there was a wild demon trapped in the sturdy metal box. It violently slapped the restraints, and in less than a second, the metal box was torn apart. The sharp fragments were thrown in all directions, smashing into the energy shield, causing the audience sitting in the front row to cry out in surprise.
It was a disgusting monster with endless tentacles. Its entire body was like a fish that had been magnified 100 times. Its body was covered in scales and scars that emitted dark green venom. At the tip of each crazily flailing red red tentacles were terrifying flesh and blood suckers. Its disgusting spider-like compound eyes shone with a cruel and cold light. The moment it regained its freedom, it used its tentacles to support its body and roared madly at Saber. Four layers of razor sharp teeth flashed in its mouth, making one's hair stand on end.
Behind it, the moment it broke free, visible spatial turbulence mixed with sharp black space shards jumped around, shattering all the space and ground behind it, causing the shards to float in the air. Its tentacles unconsciously slapped the ground in front of everyone. Every time it slapped, it left a terrible crack.
"A Jump Beast!"
A knowledgeable interstellar mercenary in the audience shouted, "Oh my god! Gao Tianzun is crazy. Look at the spatial turbulence behind it. This is a Jump Beast that's close to the Ancestor level. It alone can destroy a planet or even a galaxy! "
"Damn it!"
Some of the more knowledgeable people were already prepared to escape. "This energy shield can't protect us. Space is meaningless in front of a Jump Beast. It will come after us after it kills that stick. Run!"
The entire arena was in a panic, but our protagonist maintained his original position in the center of the arena. He raised his head and looked at the crazily roaring Jump Beast in front of him. He shrugged.
"It must have been hard for you to find such an ugly thing …"
He took a deep breath, retreated, gathered power, charged … and punched!
A purple stream of light wrapped around his right fist, and like a meteor, he smashed it toward the Jump Beast that was letting out its tyrannical aura. The Jump Beast felt the crazy threat coming at it, and a trace of fear flashed in its compound eyes. All of its tentacles crossed in front of its body, and the spatial turbulence behind it swept toward Saber like a storm.
But … it was useless!
The defense formed by tens of thousands of tentacles and spatial turbulence shattered the moment the purple stream of light came into contact with it. And the shattering happened in a very vivid manner. The first tentacle that came into contact with Saber's fist began to spasm and split apart like an invisible scalpel cutting it apart. Then, the collapse spread at an unimaginable speed, and finally covered the entire body of the Jump Beast.
This ancient monster's body was like a smashed porcelain, full of traces of fragmentation. The crazily burning flame of fear in its compound eyes suddenly dissipated, as if it was blown out by the wind. The next moment, this terrifying monster exploded, spraying all of its flesh and organs on the shining energy shield behind it like a sprinkler.
In an instant, the wall-like energy shield in front of Saber was completely covered by flesh and blood. Gao Tianzun, who had a wicked sense of humor, removed the energy shield at this moment, allowing the disgusting flesh and blood storm to engulf the stunned audience.
Bang!
Saber's body landed on the ground. He looked back at the very satisfied Gao Tianzun on the high platform and shook his head. In a rare silence in the arena, he strode into the opened gladiator passage without looking back, leaving a cold back in the eyes of all the audience.
"Overlord!"
No one knew who was the first to shout this name, but it was like a crazy spark that ignited the entire arena in an instant. The audience, who were covered in disgusting flesh and blood dregs, did not care. They stood up crazily, as if they had found their true love, and crazily, they shouted this name.
"Overlord! Overlord!! "
This name, in a unique and invincible way, was completely engraved in the memory of the Saka people tonight.
"Look, Pathoz!"
Gao Tianzun lazily took a glass of wine from a maid and said with a laugh, "The moment I saw him, I knew he would be the next ace gladiator … he will be the king of gladiators of Saka!"
He drank the wine in his hand in one gulp. Amid the revelry of the entire city, he narrowed his eyes and said, "He will be my … king of gladiators!"
