Chapter 3810 You [Radiance] stole my things, what does it have to do with me, Stella!
"...Unbelievable! Let's see what happened in slow motion!"
"So that's how it is. On the ninth arena, at the moment of the final blow between the Fiery Knight and contestant Chen Chao (Da Zhuang), a rock falling from the sky accidentally struck the Fiery Knight's wrist, causing his sword to deviate from its trajectory and thus failing to pierce contestant Chen Chao (Da Zhuang)!"
"They won!! Chen Chao won! Regardless, let's congratulate the winner! This was an incredibly exciting match, and all the applause should go to them! Cheers!"
So, where did the stones come from?
As the footage was replayed frame by frame, the cause was finally found: the rock was kicked away by the Fiery Knight during his fierce battle with Da Zhuang...
But for some unknown reason, the stone did not shatter when it hit the barrier outside the arena. Instead, it kept bouncing back and forth inside the barrier. Finally, at the moment when the two were exchanging their ultimate moves, it unexpectedly hit the Fire Knight's wrist, affecting the angle of his attack slightly!
The defeated Fiery Knight was already one of the promising talents of the Knights' Organization, rumored to be the last genius who could pass on his legacy and become the next generation of Knights of the Round Table. It's unbelievable that he was defeated in such a way…
"Dazhuang, how are you feeling?"
Da Zhuang almost had to be carried off the ring.
Despite winning the game, his expression was unusually complicated. "I'm sorry, team leader, I tried my best... I didn't expect the opposing knights to be so tough... and to win in this way, I've let everyone down!"
"What's there to lose face about? Luck is also a part of skill!" The leader of the Shenzhou national team shook his head. "You guys were fighting to this level just now, and anyone could have won. Even without that small stone, do you really think you would have definitely lost?"
"Yes, Dazhuang, you've done a great job!"
"Lucky Dazhuang!"
Da Zhuang hesitated to speak, then was carried off to receive treatment. Afterwards, more players from the national team took to the stage... On the second day of the second stage of the tournament, a large number of Shenzhou players took to the stage, almost all of them.
"Your next opponent will also be from the Knight Organization. The Fiery Knight lost in this way, so the opponent will definitely be furious. Be careful when they come up and attack with all their might."
"I understand, team leader..."
……
"Damn it, Liehuo actually lost? He was clearly our last chance to win!"
At the same time, in the command center of the [Knight Organization] team, everyone was furious... The Fire Knight was the team's top seed, and the loss was too unfair!
"Isn't that stone a bit too strange?"
"So what? The referee panel hasn't said anything! What can we do?"
"Ugh……"
It's not a matter of one's own people not helping one's own; the chief judge's panel includes a retired former Knight of the Round Table from the Knights' Council... but this senior figure didn't speak up, clearly acknowledging that the stone wasn't man-made.
"How come the people of China are so lucky?!"
……
"The Chinese players are as fierce as ever today..."
"Who can argue with that? This is already the tenth match, seven wins out of ten, especially for the national team, where everyone has won!"
"If I hadn't watched the whole thing and there wasn't a single flaw, I would have thought it was cheating... But Da Zhuang's match was definitely just lucky, no doubt about it!"
Looking at the results of the morning's work, Ye Yan suddenly rubbed his temples.
If he remembered correctly, his sister-in-law seemed to have won all the games she bet on this morning. What a coincidence...
After a morning of competition, the Shenzhou contestants didn't have an easy time, as they were almost all seeded players carefully selected by other supernatural organizations.
Being able to win seven out of ten battles had an element of luck involved, and it didn't mean that the gap between them was completely widened... The only one who won easily was An Ran, the "Little Sword Immortal" from the "Zhongnan Mountain" Academy, who only used one sword strike throughout the entire match.
Seeing the shy and timid young girl, he immediately launched a big campaign and gained huge popularity.
Ye Yan actually favored this "Little Sword Immortal" outside the national team, but it didn't matter, since they were all players from China... at most it was a battle between the first and second teams.
……
In fact, all the contestants have already made their appearances so far in the competition. Excluding some unused extra methods, the chief referees already have a general idea of the contestants' strengths.
"This is a terrifying little girl." [Radiance] smiled, having just witnessed [Little Sword Immortal] defeat her enemy with a single sword strike. "It's rare to see someone so pure these days."
“He’s definitely a promising kid.” Stella crossed his arms and nodded seriously. “Such a good prospect should learn biblical teachings from me!”
The referees nearby ignored it, but Empress Shenzhou suddenly spoke up: "Stella, are you taking my sword for a fool?"
Father Stra, of course, knew the true identity of this "Empress of China." Upon hearing this, he simply shrugged and then stretched. "Everyone, the boring morning session is over. I booked a double room. Lamias, would you like to spar with me?"
Lamias sneered, made a 3cm gesture, and then disappeared.
The South Korean players in the arena were furious.
“Stella, I have something to talk to you about,” [Radiance] suddenly called out.
……
……
Inside the meeting room, in the lounge... in the shower room, Singh slammed his fist heavily against the wall. The wall cracked, but because of his restraint, it didn't break through.
He sighed, covered his face with a towel, and walked out of the shower room, the smug look on his face no longer present.
"Singh!"
“Baholitz…Master?” Singh looked at Baholitz, who appeared outside the shower room, in surprise. “You…how did you get here?”
“I’ve come to see you,” Baholitz said softly.
Singh said with a bitter smile, "I'm sorry, Master Baholizi, I... lost, which means our country has been completely defeated... I'm sorry, everyone."
Round after round, Singh was the last White Elephant contestant left... Whether it was fate or not, his opponent today was also a contestant from China, and it was none other than Miss Qu Rou, who had been humiliated by Gabayi before.
“Singer, this is not your fault.” Master Baholizi clasped his hands together. “This was an unfair match. The United States and the referee were deliberately manipulating the course of the match. Didn’t you see that?”
Singh remained silent... The American fighters were almost always able to avoid strong opponents, and anyone could see that it was intentional. As for other matches, they were usually between strong opponents, and one-sided situations were rare; their intention to wear down their opponents was quite obvious.
“Master Baholizi, you were also one of the judges!” Singh said indignantly, “Couldn’t you have stopped this dirty trick?”
“I am too weak,” Master Baholich sighed. “I failed to protect you and provide you with a fair environment. This is my fault. I have decided to return home and seclude myself for a hundred years of ascetic practice.”
"Ah... Master Baholitz, how can this be!" Singh exclaimed in alarm.
The ascetics of the ancient Ganges sect, once they begin their ascetic practice, completely sever all contact with the outside world... It's practically like they're invisible during their ascetic period. Currently, White Elephant is beset by internal and external troubles. Once they lose Master Baholichi, how can they stand on their own?
“Singer, you are the last one.” Master Baholizi shook his head. “Now that your match is over, I have nothing left to hold me back. Therefore, I have resigned from my position as head referee and will be leaving here soon.”
"But you're leaving, what about the High Priest Lahar? We still haven't found him..."
“Team Leader Shaha will take over the rest.” Master Baholich thought for a moment and said, “Although I will punish myself with ascetic practices after returning home, I will deal with the chaos in the country as soon as possible before I go into seclusion… Consider it an atonement, after all, it all started because I lost to Stella, and I have disappointed the people.”
“That guy is completely unworthy to be the Pope of the Holy See! He is a disgrace!” Singh’s eyes were blazing with anger.
He truly loves his country; otherwise, he wouldn't have awakened in Shenzhou, and he wouldn't have resolutely chosen to return home to support the development of Bai Xiang's inhuman power.
“Child, anger will not make a person strong,” Master Baholizi said softly. “You must learn to be calm. A true strong person never complains.”
“I understand, Master Baholitz.”
Master Baholich nodded with satisfaction. "Singer, before I leave, there's something I'd like you to do for me. Would you be willing?"
Singh said directly, "Master, please give your orders!"
Master Baholici smiled and said, "Child, you will surely become the pride of the nation... Come, let me tell you what you need to do."
……
……
"what's the matter?"
Father Stra asked curiously... There was no one around.
[Radiance] glanced at it expressionlessly, then reached out and a box fell out of his personal storage space. "Stella, did you send this?"
“Beelzebub’s sealed artifact?” Father Stella blinked. “Then that must be it.”
"Yes or no, what does that mean?" [Radiance] said irritably. "Stra, what exactly do you want to do? The sealed artifact of the Demon Lord's projection is not a toy. If you take it out, how do you plan to explain it to the [Holy Church]?"
“It’s long gone. If I don’t say anything, and you don’t say anything, who would know it’s in your hands?” Father Stra chuckled and said, “[Radiance], aren’t you interested? A projection of the soul of a demon lord.”
"What do you want to say?"
"If it can descend, why can't we reverse the flow and analyze the passage to descend?" A strange light flashed in Father Stra's eyes. "That's a place where even the Lord's radiance cannot shine. As the Lord's servant, I really want to shower holy light upon it!"
【Radiance】 took another serious look, but couldn't tell how much of what this guy said was sincere. "What exactly is going on?"
Father Stra shrugged and said, "Ammonster never stole Beelzebub's seal in the first place."
[Radiance]: "...?"
Father Strauss sighed, "I was the one who took away Beelzebub's seal that day, but I never expected to run into Ammonster, who defected on the same day."
"...So, you deliberately let Ammonster go, making the Holy See think that he stole the item?" Radiance looked at the old man with a strange expression. "Ammonster has already defected, which is a fact recognized by the Holy See. So even if he says that he did not touch Beelzebub's sealed item, the Holy See will not believe him at all."
“Well, that’s how it is.” Father Stra picked at his ear.
"You really are a jerk!" [Radiance] shook his head, then frowned. "Then why are you taking it out again now?"
“The Holy See has begun to doubt what happened back then,” Father Stra said with a helpless expression. “They have reopened the investigation, and it is very likely that they will discover the truth of what happened back then.”
"So sudden?" [Radiance] was taken aback, and subconsciously thought, "Could it be that there is a third person who knows about what happened back then?"
“It shouldn’t be,” Father Stra shook his head. “The source of the information is probably myself.”
"What do you mean?" Huiyao asked in surprise.
Father Stra said with a proud look, "It must have been something I accidentally revealed in my sleep when I was sleeping with a potential saintess."
"You actually slept...you're really something else!"
Even the most skilled non-human players in Europe and Earth were stunned by this, and they didn't know where to begin their吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to criticize or ridicule).
"It's nothing, isn't it in your hands now?" Father Stra shrugged. "Elizabeth is Ammonster's granddaughter, and you are Elizabeth's teacher. Therefore, the one who took away Beelzebub's seal is you, King [Radiance], so what does it have to do with me, Stra? See, it makes perfect sense, doesn't it?"
“Stella, you’re playing with fire.” [Radiance]’s face instantly darkened.
"So, how about you agree to work with me to open the passage to Hell in reverse?" Father Stra said with a smile. "You're also eager to study this, aren't you? This might be your only chance; once you miss it, it'll be gone. Besides, once you venture into the [Inhuman Realm], the [Holy Church] can't do anything to you."
[Radiance] frowned and said, "Why are you so fixated on things related to hell?"
“I don’t know, I just want to.” Father Stra pointed to his head. “For many years, there has been a voice here telling me to go and purify Hell. It’s like the buzzing of flies, incessant, for decades, day and night, ceaselessly, ceaselessly, ceaselessly echoing in my ears… Hahaha, it’s buzzing at me again! Can you hear it? Can you hear it? Can you hear it? Can you hear it?!”
Later, the priest became like a devil in the process of falling into depravity.
[Radiance] let out a soft sigh and gently tapped the ground with his magic wand.
In an instant, a mysterious magic circle unfolded beneath his feet, directly enveloping Father Stra... Azure magical light surged within it, and it was as if a gentle and beautiful goddess had descended upon the air, embracing Father Stra from behind.
A moment.
"Hmm... what is this thing, a magical creature?" Father Stra clicked his tongue and said, "Nice figure, huh? Can it solidify?"
Seeing that Father Strath seemed to have returned to some semblance of normalcy, [Radiance] felt no joy whatsoever. Instead, he felt that his magic had become tainted and was no longer usable...
"...Keep the things with me for now." [Radiance] said thoughtfully, "I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
