Royal Academy of Sciences Chief Cleaner: It really is radiation!
Young God of Magic: Wait, a Transcendent Rank master of radiation? Is this even reasonable?
Please Call Me Top Scholar: It's quite reasonable. After all, the opponent is a robot, or rather, an intelligent agent that has awakened self-awareness.
Young God of Magic: Ha, then the remaining contestants are blessed. Or rather, irradiated.
Junior Weapon Smith: A mage, a Druid, a Daoist who plays with zombies, and another who is either a Warrior Monk or a wild beast. It looks like none of them can withstand radiation.
Junior Weapon Smith: What a pity. If they had an all-purpose hazmat suit produced by the Myriad Crucible, the outcome would be completely different.
The audience in the livestream was also deeply shocked to see the radiation fist technique Kristine displayed.
After all, radiation was a forbidden zone of power that Transcendent Rank creatures absolutely could not touch.
Not to mention the Transcendent Rank, even Epic Rank or Legendary Rank experts would have to steer clear of that pervasive radiation if they lacked specific protection or counter-skills.
Only those of the Mythic Rank, whose essence had undergone ascension, could ignore radiation.
Because essentially, a Mythic Rank existence was a different kind of radiation source itself.
Now, with a Transcendent Rank robot wielding the power of radiation appearing on the arena, wasn't it like a wolf entering a chicken coop?
The situation on the stage unfolded exactly as the audience expected. Under the dual impact of Kristine's powerful offensive and her lethal radiation field, the Gu Master, Yuanfang, quickly showed signs of defeat.
First, blood began to seep from his five facial orifices, and his movements slowed down, making him unable to agilely dodge Kristine's heavy mechanical fists.
Then, as the radiation penetrated his body, the life-bound Gu insects inside Yuanfang died one after another. The resulting backlash threw his soul into absolute chaos.
Seizing the opportunity, Kristine punched again. The twin fists shot out like dragons, then opened into palms and slammed together.
“Clap!”
Blood splattered, and brains flew everywhere. The Gu Master, Yuanfang, was eliminated just like that.
“Free will triumphs once again.”
A cold, mechanical voice echoed from Kristine once more. Her limbs shifted again, returning to their original form and sealing away the radiation core.
Only then did Tie Gelei step onto the stage, raising Kristine's hand to announce her victory.
“Cyber martial artist Kristine wins!”
After the announcement, Tie Gelei gestured for Kristine to leave the arena. He then opened the birdcage, releasing the blood droplets from before.
As soon as the blood droplets emerged, they were drawn to the flesh and blood on the ground, pouncing on it like starving dogs.
“Flesh, delicious! But hurts so much! But delicious!”
The blood droplets growled as they fed.
It seemed that Yuanfang's body, which was heavily contaminated with residual radiation, was too much even for these Transcendent Rank blood droplets to bear.
However, their desire to feed overcame the pain of the radiation, allowing them to perfectly complete their cleanup duty.
Once the arena was cleaned, Tie Gelei shut the blood droplets back in the birdcage and activated its purification function to help them suppress the radiation in their bodies. After all, there was still another match—or perhaps two—to go.
“The fifth match: Warrior Monk Jueming versus wild beast Boris! Will both contestants please step onto the arena!”
Tie Gelei made the announcement for the final match, and Jueming and Boris stepped onto the stage.
“Jueming.”
Jueming cupped his fists and bowed to Boris.
The seemingly crazed Boris actually opened his drooling maw and replied.
“Wild beast, Boris!”
“Let the match begin!”
At Tie Gelei's command, the two vanished from their spots simultaneously.
“Bang!”
The next instant, a dull collision echoed as they clashed, instantly locking into a fierce brawl.
Compared to the previous matches, this battle seemed rather plain and unadorned.
There were no flashy special effects, bizarre skills, or overpowered abilities.
Just a physical-tempering Warrior Monk and a wild beast with a feral body. You land a punch, I slash a claw; you unleash a Lion's Roar, I retaliate with a bad-breath attack.
The entire match was as dry as ditch water, a pure test of who could endure until the end.
Seeing this, Tie Gelei, who had never offered commentary before, had no choice but to fly over the arena and start narrating.
If he didn't say a few words to liven up the atmosphere, the audience in the livestream would probably fall asleep.
Soon, this pure physical brawl reached its conclusion. Relying on his ridiculous beastly constitution, the wild beast Boris literally tore the Warrior Monk Jueming apart, securing the final spot in the championship.
With the five finalists decided, Tie Gelei first cleaned the stage, then summoned all the contestants to the arena.
He then pulled a bottle of elixirs from his robes and handed one pill to each of the five contestants.
“To explain to our viewers, these elixirs are provided by the Pill Tower, one of the sponsors of this event. They are designed to rapidly replenish energy and restore the body to its peak condition.
Our contestants have just been through intense battles. To ensure fairness, we are restoring everyone to their peak state so they can compete on equal footing.
Uh, Contestant Kristine, since you can't ingest this elixir, I have a temporary fast charger here. Do you want to plug in for a bit?”
“Oh, thank you very much, esteemed host.”
Kristine stared at the pill in her hand, completely unable to find a way to consume it. Fortunately, as a smith of the Myriad Crucible, Tie Gelei carried plenty of odd gadgets, otherwise there really would have been no way to recharge her.
Kristine plugged in the charger provided by Tie Gelei and began to replenish her energy, but she didn't return the pill. Instead, she stored it in her internal storage space.
Tie Gelei didn't ask for it back either. After all, it was provided by the Pill Tower, so there was no need for someone from the Myriad Crucible to worry about it.
After a brief rest, all five contestants were restored to their optimal states. Tie Gelei raised his microphone and lifted his right hand high.
“Dear viewers, after a brief wait, our five contestants have rested sufficiently and restored their bodies to their peak conditions.
Now, let us welcome the final feast of the Transcendent Rank with our warmest applause and loudest cheers!”
“Snap.”
Tie Gelei snapped his fingers. Five glowing squares lit up on the arena floor, projecting each contestant's name into the air above.
“Will the contestants please move to their corresponding squares and prepare for the match.”
The five contestants complied, taking their respective positions as they awaited Tie Gelei's final command to start.
However, instead of giving the command immediately, Tie Gelei did something else.
“Dear viewers, before the final match begins, to pump up the passion of both the audience and our contestants, please allow me to take a brief moment to introduce the rewards for the top five finishers of this tournament.”
“The fifth-place winner will receive a full set of custom equipment from the Transcendent Rank to the Epic Rank, along with a custom divine weapon, courtesy of the Myriad Crucible! In addition, they will receive a series of elixir sets spanning the Transcendent to Epic Ranks from the Pill Tower, as well as a God-Breaking Pill.”
“The fourth-place reward is slightly upgraded from fifth place. The single custom divine weapon becomes a full set of custom divine weapons!!! The same goes for the Pill Tower's reward—instead of just one God-Breaking Pill, they will receive an unlimited supply until they break through to the Mythic Rank!!!
Wow! It's safe to say that getting fourth place is as good as securing a ticket to the Mythic Rank.
You won't even have to worry about your safety before reaching the Mythic Rank. On top of the aforementioned rewards, the fourth-place winner will receive a Mythic Rank blood vine from the Rocket Chamber of Commerce to protect them!!”
AAA Top-tier Staff Customization: No wonder it's called the First Grand Assembly of Transcendents of the Myriad Worlds. Aside from having the most participants, the rewards are absolutely insane. A full set of divine weapons and unlimited God-Breaking Pills... Dammit, I hate rich people.
“As for the third-place reward... Hahaha! To be honest, even I am a little jealous.
On top of the previous rewards, the Myriad Crucible will provide a top-tier residence renovation service, which includes gathering worldly spiritual energy, defense and offense mechanisms, and more! The Pill Tower is also raising the stakes, offering a ninety percent discount on certain Mythic Rank elixirs, though restricted to personal use.
The Rocket Chamber of Commerce will also provide a rare pet egg with a Mythic lineage, along with matching pet growth resources.
Of course, none of the above matters. Or rather, they pale in comparison to the final reward.”
With that, Tie Gelei set down his microphone and clapped his hands. On the northern side of the arena, an altar slowly rose.
On the altar lay three rods.
The rod on the left was vibrantly colored, shifting constantly like flowing elements. Its tip featured five Element Guardians embracing each other, guarding the supreme sovereign.
The rod on the right featured a black and red color scheme, with a pair of demonic blood claws cradling a living blood droplet at its top.
The middle rod, standing a head taller than the other two, was naturally the grey-and-white Spark Lens of the Undead.
Its minimalist bone style appeared incredibly plain, yet the rhythm of the Dao principles flowing over it was enough to strike terror into the heart of any Eternal Rank expert.
Tie Gelei spun around and approached the altar, his eyes gleaming.
Even as a disciple of the Crafts Sect and a master smith of the Myriad Crucible, every time he saw these three rods containing eternal power—what were they called again? Oh right, Spark Lenses—he couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy.
“Dear viewers, behind me is the grand prize for the top three finishers of the Transcendent Rank in this First Grand Assembly of Transcendents of the Myriad Worlds! These Spark Lenses were personally forged by the Lord of the Undead, the Terminator of the War of the End, and the New King of the Myriad Worlds, Lord Chen Xu!
A completely new, unprecedented type of equipment imbued with unique abilities.
Here, I have the distinct honor of demonstrating to all of our viewers and contestants the immense power these three Spark Lenses possess!”
With that, Tie Gelei eagerly picked up the Element Spark Lens on the left, quickly recalling the usage instructions Chen Xu had given him.
Gently pressing his thumb down, he shouted at the top of his lungs:
“Element Guardians!!!”
