Speed Is King

“Chairman, I am being pressured by my clan to divulge the location of this Elliot boy so that they could immediately make a move to secure him. The dragon transformations that he had shown as well as the visible aura he’s giving out is much too potent. They are all suspecting that he had ingested the blood essences of several dragons.

He has tremendous value for the dragon clan, and they are claiming ownership by right of their dragon bloodline.” A giant blue dragon rumbled loudly.

“Indeed. The Silverwing Dragon clan is pressuring me to do the same.” A beautiful woman with silver hair said in a gentle voice.

“He belongs to the Golden Dragons the moment he displayed his Golden Dragon Transformation. You silvers keep your damn nose out of this issue.” Director Goldwing said arrogantly.

Director Silverwing merely smiled politely at Director Goldwing and said nothing. But her clear eyes which were focused on El’Taras were completely confident and not the slightest bit intimidated Director Goldwing.

Director Goldwing frowned slightly at being ignored by Director Silverwing.

“How dare a mere Silver ignore me this way! I am a Gold Dragon!” Director Goldwing thought crossly to herself.

“It’s not just the dragons. Even my stupid clan leader is asking me to think of an excuse to lay a claim on him.” A huge dwarf that could hardly be called a dwarf anymore sighed deeply.

“And if even the dwarves can look up from their forges to lust after someone like that, then what more the rest of the universe? Chairman, I do not think we will be able to stop all the powers that would soon appear on the planet to look for him.” A large blue giant that was at least three times the size of the huge dwarf that just spoke sighed deeply.

“Even the Blue Giant Ancients are stirring. If they decide to make a move, I would be completely helpless.”

For a few moments, Chairman El’Taras remained silent as he ruminated on the situation. Then, he sighed and his eyes narrowed in determination.

“High risks, high returns. Low risk, low returns. That’s just how it is.” El’Taras replied his directors calmly. “With the influx of so many different powers very soon, we are looking at the setting of a whole new unbreakable record in media revenue and gambling revenue.

We are on track to make our best year ever in terms of financial profit. So, keep sending in waves that would make the event more interesting.

Push him to the limit!

However! A gem is a gem, and he is ours. So we’ll make sure that no other power will succeed in getting their hands on him.

To that end, let’s muddy the waters a little bit more.

Double the rewards for the Eradicating Emperors and Hunting Hegemons game. Twenty Resplendent Tokens should cause the Emperors and Hegemons to go completely crazy.

And send in ten Fugitive Hegemons. If they can kill five Hegemons each, NOT counting each other, they will be set free. If they kill another Fugitive Hegemon, we will trigger their biobomb immediately, so tell them no funny business!” El’Taras instructed.

All the Gaming Commission Directors had no choice but to nod in agreement.

At that moment, Planet Earth, which was a mere low-stakes Game that was made interesting due to its unique gasoline-powered automobile racing, had completely evolved to become a super high stakes Game where Emperors and Hegemons will eventually die in large numbers!

And not only that, even a number of the rarely seen Ancients had taken an interest and participated in the wild goose chase.

But Ancients were literally unkillable at that moment. They were so strong that it was a physical impossibility for non Ancients to even deal damage to them. The only beings that could kill an Ancient were other Ancients.

This was because of how their bodies work.

At the Hegemon level, a combination of two completely mastered Elements needed to take place. This made Hegemons qualitatively more powerful than Emperors. But cases of overpowered Emperors taking down Hegemons, although very rare, weren’t completely unheard of.

However, at the Ancient level, the mastery warriors had to have, had transcended the body and into the realm of souls. This gave them a completely new avenue of attack and defense that all warriors below Ancient rank can’t even detect, much less block!

The chasm between Hegemon and Ancient level was far, far bigger than between King level and Emperor level.

A single Ancient level warrior could easily wipe out thousands of Hegemons with a single wide-area soul attack!

And at that moment, even such powerful beings were on the move…

The cause of all these massive universal movements, Elliot Musk, was sighing deeply back in the Beast Tide event.

He was completely oblivious that his show of power had triggered the greed of countless powers, and was actually lamenting the fact that he wasn’t able to try out more of his powers!

“This bonus wave is so disappointingly weak. I barely got to try out my skills, and they are already all dead. Hey Game Master, why don’t you send some powerful beasts like you did before last month? Come! Send me the most powerful beast you have! I’m sure you can do better than all these weak and useless beasts!” Elliot shouted to the bunch of cameras in the sky.

As if answering his taunt, the ground began to rumble once more.

“Haha! Pip! You definitely pissed off the Game Master with your words. Look at that! It’s a freaking Golem Wave! These Golems have the highest and most ridiculous defense of all of the Gaming Commission’s manufactured monsters!

You definitely can’t take the wave down with ten moves, much less just one. Wahahahahaha!” Red burst out laughing.

True enough, huge five meter tall humanoid figures encased in some sort of shiny reflective material started to appear in the horizon.

“They look really strong!” Elliot’s eyes shined in anticipation.
