Chapter 276 Finals
The third battle of the Gods was held, and the arena was packed as usual. Of course, as the finals, there were even more spectators this time, with nearly 30,000 people coming to the finals venue. Around the arena, there were also a large number of people waiting for the second-stream commentary.
This is enough to prove the popularity of the God War. As the grandest event and activity in the Sand Kingdom, the final of the God War is like celebrating the New Year.
With the eight contestants gathered, the final is just around the corner.
"Eh?"
"Isn't Ansk supposed to be the commentator today?"
When they saw that the host of the opening ceremony had changed, everyone was a little surprised. After all, they had given high praise to Ansk's commentary in the previous two matches, so the change of host made them a little puzzled.
But it doesn't matter. They came to watch the game, so it doesn't matter who the host is. After calming down, everyone looked at the host with expectant expressions.
Hello everyone! Welcome to........
With the host's enthusiastic voice, the opening ceremony of the Gods War finals was about to begin...
.............
“Giga.........”
Upon seeing the blond boy standing on the main stage, Golden Hand couldn't help but cross his legs.
At this moment, he was in a private room in the arena. The location was excellent, offering a panoramic view of the entire arena. Silver Hand was kneeling beside him, serving him.
As the second prince of the country, with neither the king nor the eldest prince present, he should be the witness for the final battle of the gods. Since he is to attend the event outside the palace, he will certainly have a large number of guards.
First was Yu Er, who led a group of eagle guards to protect Ji Jia closely. Each eagle guard stood in a corner, so that no matter which direction the assassin attacked from, they would have a chance to react.
Outside the Eagle Guard were several squads of the Netherhound Guard. As the royal dogs, they naturally had to protect their master when he went out. A large number of guards surrounded Jiga in three layers, keeping a tight watch on him.
With the Eagle Guards and the Hound Guards, such a luxurious setup would deter any assassin. After all, if you have the ability to sweep them all away, there's no need to go to such great lengths to kill a second prince, since he might not even be the one to inherit the throne in the future.
"I heard he's become very irritable lately?"
Looking at the carefree young man on the stage, Golden Hand casually asked.
"There is such a rumor. I heard that His Highness Jiga has recently smashed a lot of things, and even changed several batches of maids."
"Hmph! It's probably just that arrogant royal disease again."
Looking at Jiga, who had already begun reading the opening address on the stage, Golden Hand scoffed disdainfully. Then, as if he had thought of something, he casually asked Silver Hand beside him:
Have you heard stories about royalty and immortals?
"No...no."
snort!
Hearing Silver Hand's answer, Golden Hand couldn't help but feel a desire to slander the royal family. So, under Silver Hand's slightly questioning expression, Golden Hand slowly spoke:
"That happened a long time ago..."
...............
The format of the final was different from the previous two matches. Instead of a one-on-one duel, it was an eight-person free-for-all.
Of course, given the current size of the arena, it's certainly enough to put eight people in for a chaotic battle, but it will definitely feel a bit cramped.
But this was not a difficult task for the people of the Sand Kingdom, or rather, it had already been solved by a legendary being before the God War was even established.
When the Golden Nether Empire still existed, a legendary powerhouse created a large-scale illusionary magic stone. The magic stone's ability was to create a special field within which everyone would fall into an illusion.
Clearly, although this magic stone has no offensive power, it has great strategic value and has been used in battle to trap enemy soldiers.
However, later, the Golden Nether Empire collapsed, and this illusionary magic stone fell into the hands of the Golden Sands family. Later, due to the birth of the God War, this magic stone was also used in the God War.
Its function is to allow the holder to create a huge illusion, and then all eight contestants will be immersed in this illusion, where they will compete.
And the one who survives to the end in this illusion will be the victor in the war of the gods.
During this time, the audience will also be affected by the magic stones, and with the creator's modifications, they will float in the air as spirits, thus gaining a better view of the contestants.
This is also one of the attractions in the God War. Everyone is eager for this novel experience, and it is considered a must-do activity in the Sand Kingdom every four years. For outsiders, it has become like a tourist attraction.
This rule not only enhanced the sense of novelty but also gave everyone a tense and exciting atmosphere. It was well received as soon as it was introduced and has continued to be used ever since.
Today is no different...
After the opening speech, everyone looked on with great anticipation at Jiga standing on the main stage, waiting for him to activate the magic stone and take them on a dreamlike journey.
"Are you ready?"
"Ready... all set."
Looking at Jiga, who was full of excitement, Yuuji couldn't help but show a hint of worry in his eyes.
Is this really necessary?
Are you questioning me?
Although Yuuji didn't speak, Jiga seemed to be able to hear his thoughts. When Yuuji was worried about the plan, Jiga glared at him fiercely.
"No, no, absolutely not!"
Seeing Jiga's fierce gaze, Yuuji dared not continue muttering to himself, fearing that Jiga might read his mind again if he wasn't careful.
Seeing Yu Er shaking his head repeatedly, Ji Jia snorted disdainfully. After teaching Yu Er a lesson, he immediately looked at the magic stone in his hand, his eyes trembling with madness.
"Your Highness Jiga! We can prepare to activate the magic stones now. The contestants are all ready!"
Just then, the unsuspecting host rushed over from the side and told Gija that he could activate the magic stone.
Upon hearing this, Jiga's eyes flashed, but he did not immediately activate the device. Instead, he took out an oval-shaped object from a box beside him.
Hearing anger.
hum~
The moment Jiga came into contact with the Earring Wrath, it began to emit a continuous red light, the blinding red light causing those around to squint and avoid it.
"Your Highness Jiga, what is this...?"
The host wanted to gently urge Jiga on, since the audience had been waiting for a long time, but a look from Jiga made him swallow his words.
Fortunately, Giga didn't keep him waiting too long. After the Ear-Listening Wrath was taken out, Giga slowly began to activate the magic stone. However, this activation was different from any previous one.
"Your Highness, this is terrible!!!"
Under the host's shocked gaze, Giga raised the magic stone and the Wrath of Hearing simultaneously, and then... they came into contact.
Buzz!
