Chapter 367 - 344 Ending One
"So many people actually died?"
In the white number one competition area, the empty field was populated by a group of people crowding around a man clad in a white cloak with golden edges, standing regal in the center of the field as if he were surveying his own territory.
"Indeed, at least fifty percent of the new warriors in each zone have perished. All our isolation protective devices have malfunctioned." A Silver Armored Guard knelt in front of the man. "The staff at the Teleportation Management have all disappeared. All teleportation formations were preprogrammed."
The man nodded, "I see, you may go back."
"Yes." The Silver Armored Guard stood up, bowed his head, backed away a few steps, then turned and quickly left.
An old man with white beard by the man’s side asked doubtfully, "Your Highness Alpha, there should have been people from the New Warriors’ Oversight Council supervising the competition. Why is there no one inquiring this time?"
"The Goddess Statue District is almost in complete chaos now, with no support from higher powers, the Oversight Council can’t restrain other warriors either," the man frowned, "Although the competition officially disallows death quotas, in practice when powerful warriors clash, it’s hard to stop in time, making it impossible to avoid casualties. But such massive losses like this are unusual. I suspect there’s a new development among the upper echelons of the Goddess Statue District."
"A new developments?" the elder squinted at the man. Since he was standing behind the man, the slight shadow in his eyes went completely unnoticed. "How did you determine that, my lord?"
"Although there was such chaos last time, didn’t the people from the Temple step in to correct it?" The man named Alpha turned, smiling, "We shall just watch and see. It’s conceivable that someone deliberately created the chaos in the Goddess Statue District. Even if we are all seen as mere ants by the lofty gods, in the eyes of that superior, we haven’t reached such a level of insignificance yet. The Goddess Statue District is now at a critical time."
"What you say is true, Your Highness," the elder bowed his head.
