Chapter 977: Scarlet Tournament
The powerhouses of the Sacred Races were not just shocked, but their very beings were filled with a profound sense of awe. The Scarlet King's proposal was not just a tournament but a grand spectacle of unprecedented magnitude that would send waves through the entire world.
While tournaments were common among martial civilizations like the Sacred Races Empire, they were usually limited to Wave Warriors and Wave Champions, with the most extraordinary having room for the clash among Wave Kings. However, the tournament the Scarlet King proposed would not just include a ranking for Apotheosis Master, but also Divine Ascension Masters!
Those were the highest echelons of martial prowess, whose participation would significantly raise the stakes and intensity of the tournament.
Before the war against Dark Sky, the death of a Divine Ascension Master was shocking news that would resonate across the entire continent. But now, as the martial civilization had advanced so much, they were becoming common enough for them to participate in a tournament.
Cain allowed everybody a moment to analyze and digest his words before continuing with an even sharper intent. "Once the best Martial Path and the Craftsmanship Path of every empire arise, they will march into the Babel Tower. At that moment, the Scarlet Tournament will begin, and the best of the best of all the empires will all fight and challenge each other."
A new wave of shock assaulted the masters. The Scarlet King would not only ensure every kingdom cultivated the best of their warriors and craftsmen, but he would then place them all against each other, distilling the best of all Aether!
"The tournament will take place in the Foundation Level of the Babel Tower.
It is massive enough to hold at least 100 million people and durable enough to endure strikes at my level, so there will be no problem even if Divine Ascension Masters go all out." A sharp and scheming light appeared in Cain's eyes as he continued, "The best one million crafters and the best nine million warriors from Aether will gain the honor to move into the Babel Tower, access to my unique training ground, and the ability to gaze directly into the Codex of Infinite Pathways.
They will also be able to scale its floors, each advance carrying great benefits and rewards."
The Six Chief Councilors exchanged worried glances as they absorbed the entirety of the Scarlet King's plans. While a tournament could enhance the power of Aether, the potential for discord and division was a grave concern.
"My King, I wonder about the viability of this tournament. While it will indeed allow us to nurture the best of the best, it might not be wise to put the Sacred Races against each other, especially when the sense of stability is so high and animosity so low." The one who spoke was Prime Minister Minxet, his face, and eyes firm as he uttered those words.
