Five of the six were already on the stage. They had to accept such challenges that came with their status. These five were also staring at Wang Zheng, the only “outsider”.
Wang Zheng had finally arrived. He was very sure at this point that the Saint wanted the Rubik’s Cube, Charcoal, and the 256 Point Blade Technique. The Saint just didn’t know its form and thought that it was something they could take away.
He saw the video of Huiyin and heard the announcement of Meng Tian being chosen as a sacrifice. He was the actual successor of the Saint Church. According to Charcoal, the Saint Church was his master. The creator of the Point Blade Technique, Wang Dong, had defeated the Zerg and blocked their invasion into the Milky Way. The years that followed allowed the Solar System to recover from the trauma of war and establish a new order. The Saint was very influential then, but Wang Dong knew that humans needed a normal democratic system to progress. A few decades after the war, the Saint Church had affected the normal course in humans. His disappearance and the dissolution of the church started, alliances formed, and humans went towards the direction of the interstellar. That gave birth to the Milky Way Alliance of now, where humans ruled the Milky Way.
This was a few centuries of peace. There were many teams that fought together previously. Wang Dong was a human, even though he had the power of a god, he still possessed feelings. He grounded the Saint Church to zero so that it could have no chance of survival. It was just that after so many years, these powers were still at play.
Wang Zheng had no interest in all this. He was only interested in bringing everyone back safely. Of course, the Saint didn’t recognize him as the successor. If they did, he would have been the first to go.
The Thirteenth Elder glanced at Wang Zheng and added a little more pressure. The power from the glance of a Heaven-rank was also tough for the others to receive. Wang Zheng’s body trembled, but he continued up the stage. “So does that mean that the battle for the Son of Saint would be put to a halt if I were to kill the five in front of me?”
Cadillana stepped forward and bowed slightly towards the Thirteenth Elder. “Elder, if you don’t mind, may I kill this idiot now?”
The aura and power of the five core Sons of Saint were not at the measly level Lear was at. They could communicate with the outside world, so they weren’t foreign to the SIG competition. What intrigued them was the gossip of the romance between Wang Zheng and Aina. Aina was known as the top beauty in the galaxy. The King of Water, Sarah, wasn’t at all convinced. Her water spiritual body eluded an aura that would make anyone love her the moment they laid their eyes on her.
The five core Sons of Saint possessed innate spiritual bodies. They could maximize their martial techniques. Their powers were out of this world. Even if they didn’t become the Son of Saint, they would become future Elders as long as they survived. They all understood this.
There was just this sudden addition of Wang Zheng. He smiled at Cadillana’s murderous intent.
The Thirteenth Elder tapped his foot lightly and another wave of pressure landed on the whole arena. That Heaven-rank power was not something most people could hold up against. However, all six on the stage, who were the nearest ones to the Thirteenth Elder, held their ground very well.
This was the battle of fate. Become a master or a slave. They had to make choices.
“The battle will begin the moment you leave the temple. The Elders will remain impartial unless someone breaks the rules. To be fair, Wang Zheng, if you defeat a Son of Saint, you will be granted the right to decide the fate of a sacrifice. I believe that is what you really desire.” The Thirteenth Elder smiled mysteriously.
Wang Zheng maintained his smile. It was better to smile during this kind of situation. They knew what he wanted, he knew what they wanted. This was a game.
The Thirteenth Elder’s gaze turned towards the public and walked into a beam of light with the people in gray. They disappeared, leaving only the participants.
Everyone had gone to the Saint World, but it was different this time. There was no restart after death.
The massacre would start once they left the temple. They had to obtain the tags of others within three days to survive.
Cadillana smiled. “I’m Cadillana, the King of Fire. Who I was before isn’t important. The most important thing here is that I can help you survive. Once I’m the Son of Saint, those who follow me will be awarded. We’ll share this world together, and I do have this power!”
Cadillana rolled his fist into a ball and boom! The temple shook and a very beautiful flame appeared on top of his fist. The soul flame.
No matter what would happen in the future, this round was for survival. Obviously, unity had power, and the big teams would eat the small teams!
The others didn’t stand on the ceremony either, showing off to attract the strong ones. They had followers from the start and people started to move towards them. They only needed to choose, because the useless ones would only become a drag. They knew how to use people and discard the unnecessary ones.
Only a handful of people had the qualifications to become the Son of Saint anyway. This wasn’t something they could get by luck alone. They would be booted out sooner or later.
Following the strong ones was a good choice.
“I’m Wang Zheng, some might have heard of me, some might not have. However, I can bring everyone out of this sh*thole,” Wang Zheng said.
The stage quietened down. The five core Sons of Saint looked at Wang Zheng. Bring everyone out?
Was this a joke?
This was the Oracle Star, not the Milky Way Alliance. There were no mecha, only fists. Anyone who talked about leaving was simply dreaming!
“Wang Zheng, you’re just a stone for us to grind our knives. A playmate to raise our status. I, Cadillana, the King of Fire, will cut off your head within three days. Anyone with Wang Zheng will be making an enemy out of me, Cadillana! All will have to die!”
There were a few dozen people behind Cadillana. Anyone familiar with the Oracle Star knew that Cadillana was definitely the strongest in the attack.
Cadillana was going to make an example out of Wang Zheng. The last battle wasn’t just about being strong, but also to showcase your wits and leadership abilities. The thirteen elders were looking. Wang Zheng represented the Milky Way Alliance, so there was definitely merit to killing him first.
“Cadillana, it’s not good to monopolize. It will take a bit of luck to kill him,” Bilro, the King of Earth, said. The two candidates had already decided to get rid of Wang Zheng and the people around him within three days.
The people around kept their eyes peeled, wanting to see who was willing to die with Wang Zheng at this time.
