Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 818 - 591 The First Advent

The representative from Eternal Night City, who had maintained a cold and stern expression, finally stood up for the first time and questioned sharply, "Aren't you going too far?!"

Bai E's gaze swept over the three Eternal Night City warriors who had just been decapitated, their bodies quickly retrieved by comrades. A mysterious gleam flickered in his pupils.

After the death of the three warriors from Eternal Night City, the reaction engendered by the so-called "Bug Race Bane" seemed to diminish slightly!

Empirical evidence suggested that these individuals from Eternal Night City indeed had deep and intricate ties with the Bug Race!

Facing the other side's questioning, Bai E merely sneered and responded, "It's just an exhibition match. Naturally, we have to make it entertaining."

The representative wanted to retort but was unexpectedly stopped by their team captain, who stood up and extended a hand to block further words.

"If you want to fight, then fight." The captain, with an emotionless gaze, coldly stared at Bai E, then turned to the Blackwater City warrior on stage clad in dark blue armor. "I accept your challenge."

No one had expected what was supposed to be a harmonious exhibition match among the Supreme Council's top five to escalate into such a fiery conflict.

"This… this is peak drama!" Spectators from other cities, who were merely rubberneckers, looked on with wide eyes, watching events unfold step by step into such explosive tension.

"What kind of 'entertainment' involves actual killing? If you were from Eternal Night City, would you tolerate this?"

"This sh*t has turned into a real fight!"

"Eternal Night City deserved this! The match rules clearly stated to spare lives as much as possible, yet they executed such ruthless killings. I thought the first to act would be the Imperial City, but Blackwater City stepping up first? Well done!"

"Exactly! They deserved a lesson long ago! Up until now, they hadn't encountered any formidable opponents, and it made those fools think they were untouchable! Look at them now, frozen before a true powerhouse!"

Eternal Night City's journey to this point had left a bloody trail in its wake.

Every city harmed by them bore deep hatred.

The Imperial City's hidden observers across the arena meticulously collected these sentiments and reported them back to central command.

The alliance's chief strategist furrowed his brow slightly after receiving the intel and muttered, "Blackwater City truly knows how to pick their battles..."

With so much resentment toward Eternal Night City, whoever could deliver a decisive blow to them would naturally gain a semblance of respect from the affected cities.

This would undoubtedly benefit the overall guidance of the alliance's leadership. However, what should have been a prize for the Imperial City seemed to have been snatched up by Blackwater City.

A blond-haired man sitting in the corner of the room chuckled softly, "But I think he simply wants to teach those arrogant bastards a lesson."

The chief strategist glanced at the War God, lips twitching as though to speak, only to sigh instead and close his mouth.

This highly intelligent warrior who stubbornly believed only in his own judgment left little room for others' opinions, a fact that rendered words futile.

Watching the footage displayed on the cameras, the chief strategist shook his head helplessly and sighed inwardly, 'So be it...'

Although the feat of elevating the Imperial City's reputation across the alliance had been taken by another, the foundational goal of the alliance's core plan had been achieved.

What lay ahead... was the step-by-step reclamation of the globe.

Humanity would rise to greatness once again!

...

On the stage of the much-anticipated arena, the members of the five-versus-five team battle finally stepped forward.

The captain leading Eternal Night City's team cast a cold glance at Bai E, who remained seated off the stage. A peculiar glint flashed in his eyes.

His gaze then shifted to the five Blackwater City warriors clad in deep blue armor before him. With a ruthlessly commanding wave of his hand, he snarled, "Kill!"

"Boom!"

Facing their ultimate opponents, the Storm Warriors of Blackwater City showed no restraint.

At the instant the referee signaled the start, five deep-blue mechs burst forward at blinding speed.

Grasping their Dynamic Source Swords, they swung with utter abandon, with no emphasis on technique.

At such unprecedented speed and power, merely wielding these indomitable blades was sufficient to cleave through an opponent's body with ease.

Yet for some reason, the Eternal Night City warriors, who were utterly outmatched in solo matches, seemed to grow significantly stronger when fighting alongside their captain.

The speeds of the ten combatants blurred into afterimages, rendering the battle incomprehensible to warriors from lesser cities. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Only the clanging echoes of strikes reverberated through the field, until several frail shapes were abruptly struck and sent flying, carving long furrows into the arena's solid ground.

Dust billowed into the air, obscuring the fates of the fallen figures.

Amid the chaos, one deep-blue armored Storm Warrior was seized from behind—"embraced"—by Eternal Night City's captain, who was clad in black.

Razor-sharp claws pierced through the Storm Warrior's lower back, shredding the armor. The claws gleamed menacingly in the sunlight as they protruded.

The towering captain of Eternal Night City leaned forward from behind the impaled Storm Warrior, his dark gaze fixed on the remaining four. In a low, serpentine voice, he declared, "You… will all die!"

The fact was undeniable: even the Storm Battle Armor, forged with the formidable Eight Alloy, was no match for the Eternal Night City captain's assault.

As for the Power Source Shields wielded by the Storm Warriors, it remained an unanswered question how they would fare against his devastating claws without direct confrontation.

Clearly, the captain had no intention of taking that risk. Instead, he exploited his speed to evade the shields' defensive arcs, executing a sinister ambush from the rear.
