Jack Soleil. This was a rather ordinary name, but it instantly caused a huge uproar in the audience. After all, he was probably the most popular person in Saul right now.
In a way — no, it should be said that the root cause of this Battle of the Gods was Jack Soleil himself.
In fact, even the recent dispute between the Nature Faction and the silver elves was a result of Jack Soleil's sudden actions.
Not long ago, Jack Soleil had become one of the top ten most wanted criminals in the elven faction. He had successfully killed two Legends and a team of four rank 4 job classes. He was also faintly viewed as a powerful rank 6 job class individual.
Logically speaking, since Jack Soleil had personally sunk the Victory airship, he should have become the mortal enemy of the silver elves. He should have become the silver elves' War God to wash away this humiliation. But now, Jack Soleil had appeared in front of Saul's people in the silver elves' camp.
Surprise? Shock? Disbelief? Then, Rorschach recalled the history books he had read about the elves' style, and naturally came to a realization.
"… Actually, when they found me and told me that as long as I killed you, they would let bygones be bygones. Not only did they cancel my bounty, they even paid me a large sum of money, I thought that they were joking."
Jack Soleil, who had been all serious at first and then crazy right after, was now wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and smiling gently under the large screen.
"But soon, I was certain that they weren't joking. I originally wanted to refuse. After all, the days of being hunted down are actually quite interesting. I'm not sick of it yet. But when I thought about how I was always being followed and how there were many places I couldn't go to, I decided to consider it. Yep, it would be quite interesting to fight you again. That's why I came. "
"You're not going to shoot them for burning the bridge after crossing it!?"
Rorschach's voice echoed throughout the entire battlefield. The May Rain members all had expressions of disbelief and confusion. It seemed that they didn't know about Jack Soleil's arrival, and thought that he was just a normal newcomer.
"Burning the bridge after crossing it? Heh heh, I'm not afraid at all. I wasn't worried from the very beginning, because they would definitely, definitely, definitely … burn the bridge after crossing it. But before they kill you, they still need a 'mentally ill gunner' like me. In that case, we can have some fun first. "
"Have you not considered whether you can walk out of this arena alive?"
"Aiyo, I really haven't thought about it. I just want to play with you."
Even without using his innate ability, Rorschach knew that the seemingly harmonious smile and sincere words were all disgusting lies.
Both sides' words were broadcasted on the large screen in front of all the audience. While the audience was in an uproar, the higher-ups of the silver elves, as well as the Elf God who was the referee, all had indifferent expressions as if they had already expected this.
As the Judgement God of the Nature Faction, Rosa hesitated for a moment, but still smiled and didn't say anything. However, her gaze became even "kinder". The silver elves that she looked at, even if they were powerful Legends or high-level members of the Church, still trembled like little chicks.
What could he say? Actually, it was difficult to say anything. After all, since the Silver Elves dared to do it, it would be difficult to find any problems with the rules.
The rules stipulated that the participants had to be registered members of both Churches. There was also a certain period of time where they had to be confirmed as a descender or a member of their Church. May Rain's participation had also been approved beforehand.
As for Jack … if Rosa's name hadn't been removed from the list in time, he would indeed be a descender of the Silver Elf War God, which would be completely within the rules.
The upper limit of the participants' power level was a rank 5 Legend. Even though Jack was considered to be a rank 6 Legend, his job class was still only at rank 4, and he himself had just recently reached rank 5.
Since he met the requirements, he instantly became the strongest person in the entire arena.
Since the members of both sides hadn't been confirmed yet, the official list of participants only had the starting members, not the substitutes. Even if Rosa and the others had really been serious about the substitutes, it was still possible for them to use fake names … And even if they used fake names, it wouldn't affect the participants' participation. After all, there had been far too many instances where it wasn't convenient for the participants to use their real names.
"Brat, you're quite courageous to trick me."
Rosa was all smiles as she decided to act according to the rules. However, that didn't mean that she wouldn't deal with Rosa afterwards.
Rosa's God incarnation had a deathly pale expression as she stared at him. Rosa had probably resolved to abandon this incarnation of hers.
Since everything was in accordance with the rules, it was impossible for Rosa to stop here. Even though the situation on the battlefield had greatly changed with Jack's appearance, Rosa was quite looking forward to Rorschach's performance in such a difficult situation.
But right now, the situation on the battlefield wouldn't change just because of what was happening outside. Rorschach could only carefully deal with Jack who had suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
"Isabella?"
Rosa's magical armor had only exploded several seconds ago. Rorschach didn't receive any response from Rosa's communication device. However, since Rosa still hadn't been told to leave the arena, she should be fine.
"Isabella is the strongest out of all of us."
Rorschach felt that there was no need to worry about Isabella as he recalled the information he had previously heard, as well as the fact that she was still alive even after acting so rashly.
After all, he was the one who needed to worry about himself right now.
"Let's begin."
Rorschach's words came out of nowhere as he made up his mind.
The next moment, his orders were carried out.
When Jack appeared on the battlefield, the youths of May Rain were also astonished by his appearance. They couldn't help but be distracted. However, there was one person who was in charge of communication and cooperation. She knew this from the very beginning.
Miranda Sophie, a Legend-rank mage. While the others were distracted by Jack, she was doing her best to recover her mana and stamina. She used her spare wooden staff to prop herself up, closed her eyes, and forcefully entered a meditative state.
This was the difference between a veteran and a newbie. Veteran players would seize every opportunity to obtain victory.
However, she didn't notice that her own defensive magic had unknowingly disappeared.
"Let's begin."
When Rorschach's voice fell, the Black Lurker in the night finally made his move. When the fatal silver needle suddenly appeared in front of Miranda, she was startled awake and realized that something was wrong. Spider silk had wrapped around her feet at some point in time, completely sealing off her escape route.
"Let's get rid of the most troublesome one first. Wasting so much time waiting for her to arrive was indeed meaningful. "
