**Chapter 1361: Today, You Are Allowed to Stand and Listen! (Two-in-One)**
"Next, let's welcome our final special contestant!"
The beautiful and ethereal Stella, with a warm smile, held a microphone in her left hand and gestured with her right hand towards the main gate on the east side.
There, a solitary figure, guided by an etiquette guide, walked into the arena.
At the same time, his appearance was displayed before all the audience.
A man with a heroic face, mature demeanor, resolute gaze, short black hair, and wearing a white suit.
"Tsk, he really looks like Wolverine."
Under the simulation of the holographic virtual image, Im, seemingly high in the air, looked down at Hank Henriette and muttered to himself.
"Husband, what is Wolverine?"
Historia, in a good mood, asked softly with a smile.
"The nickname of a man from a certain world. He possesses powerful self-healing ability and can extend indestructible steel claws from his hands. This Hank's appearance is very similar to his."
Im leaned back on the 'Pure Gold Dragon Throne', explaining casually.
Esdeath, sitting beside him, no longer reacted with surprise as she used to, her expression remaining calm.
She had grown accustomed to the astonishing things Im occasionally said.
If he could even observe the River of Time and see people from other worlds, wasn't this quite normal?
"Distinguished guests, dear audience, this contestant, Hank Henriette, is from the 'No.0009 Beast God World' and just joined the World Government this year!"
"And in this Top 100 Competition, contestant Hank is the only participant from the 'Beast God World', and in the previous round..."
As Stella's voice announced loudly, footage related to the 'Beast God World' began to appear in the void of the Duel Arena.
Among them, 'Pseudo-Divine Weapon' and 'Dream Ore' became the focus of everyone.
When Stella announced that the appearance of 'Pseudo-Divine Soldier Manufacturing Technology' had further increased the output of 'Artificial Zoan Devil Fruit', the entire stadium erupted in loud cheers.
This also gave people a natural favor towards the 'Beast God World'.
After all, everyone knew that increased output would lead to lower prices.
It was estimated that it wouldn't be long before Artificial Zoan Devil Fruit would appear on the shelves of civilian stores!
In fact, Dorothea's human transmutation in the Biochemical Research Institute also helped with the Artificial Zoan Devil Fruit technology.
However, neither she herself nor human transmutation were suitable for public propaganda.
Inside a certain 'Colored Cloud Box'.
Cain watched Hank, who was holding his nation's flag high and walking across the center of the arena amidst thunderous applause, and couldn't help but complain:
"He was the captain in the army before, leading us to win battle after battle. Now, in another world, he's become the sole representative of our world. Why does he always end up being the protagonist?"
Elaine, sitting on the cloud mass sofa, heard this and reminded him helplessly:
"Cain, during the Founding a Nation ceremony, you were the first president and stole the show. The entire nation was cheering for you, and Hank was standing behind you then."
Cain turned his head and retorted:
"But when I announced Hank as the Minister of the Department of Internal Affairs, the applause and cheers were even more enthusiastic."
"That's just your misconception," Elaine sighed.
Cain pouted and said no more. He knew clearly whether it was a misconception or not.
The current situation was that most of the Pseudo-Divine Weapons in the Patria Republic trusted him more, while most ordinary citizens trusted Hank more.
The latter were very happy to hear that Hank, the former 'Pseudo-Divine Weapon Hunter', would be the police officer boss.
Because they believed that Hank would not shield those criminal monsters who harmed people!
Cain wasn't really angry.
In his opinion, this precisely proved that ordinary citizens still feared 'Pseudo-Divine Weapons'.
Later, when most people, or even everyone, possessed the strength of 'Pseudo-Divine Weapons'.
At that time, they wouldn't have the same enthusiasm for Hank as they did now.
Moreover, Hank only managed the Department of Internal Affairs. He entrusted the Department of Defense to Antonio Gattuso.
That was the lizardman with the nickname Salamander, who turned into a creature with red scales all over and could breathe fire.
He was his number one subordinate and follower.
Therefore, Cain wasn't worried at all that Hank might rebel against him.
"It looks like so much fun, I want to participate too..."
At this moment, Millielia, sitting next to Elaine and wearing a purple dress, said softly with a look of anticipation.
She had come with Elaine from Impel Down.
She had originally wanted to invite Moria along, but Moria, as the vice warden, found it difficult to leave Impel Down easily.
However, Moria gave Millielia his Den Den Mushi number.
He said that if she was bullied outside, she could call him.
Then he would take leave to help her.
"The Top 100 Competition is only for people aged eighteen and above. You are only twelve this year."
Elaine raised her hand and stroked Millielia's white hair, smiling: "And this competition is very dangerous."
"Ah, then I can only participate in the fourth Top 100 Competition when I'm twenty?!"
Millielia immediately looked troubled.
"I was just thinking of participating in the next one and borrowing a few powerful corpses from Uncle Moria to play with."
Elaine was instantly silent.
Hearing a twelve-year-old little girl talk about playing with corpses, she really didn't know how to respond.
At this moment, Cain suddenly spoke:
"Millielia, although your ability doesn't come from 'Pseudo-Divine Weapons', I think you shouldn't focus on corpses for improving your strength. Instead, you should continue to train the upper limit of your ability itself."
He himself did the same.
Originally, his Pseudo-Divine Weapon ability, nicknamed 'Vampire'.
Only allowed him to suck the blood of creatures with his teeth to temporarily enhance his physical ability, speed up injury healing, and read memory shards.
But through his dedicated research, he successively developed various abilities such as 'Blood Elementalization', 'Blood Clone', 'Remote Blood Control', and 'Create Blood Servant'.
He directly raised his strength to a level far exceeding all Pseudo-Divine Weapons except Hank.
This also proved the possibility of further development for 'Pseudo-Divine Weapon' abilities.
Cain felt that Millielia should be the same.
'Manipulating Corpses' might just be the basic manifestation of her ability...
"Okay, but I don't know what to do now. I'll ask Uncle Moria when I get back."
Millielia nodded obediently.
"Who is Uncle Moria?" Cain finally couldn't help but ask.
Did the little sister he adopted have a new trusted person?
"Ahem, Gecko Moria is the vice warden of Impel Down."
Elaine explained: "Because Millielia and he have a lot of common topics about 'corpses', the two quickly became friends..."
After listening, Cain asked with a hint of displeasure in his tone:
"The vice warden of a prison, doesn't sound like a big shot. Is he very strong?"
"Well, he's said to be of the oni race from the world, and also a Paramecia System Shadow-Shadow Fruit user. As for strength..."
Elaine looked up and thought for a moment:
"Although I'm not very clear, Hank told me that just standing in front of him, he had to actively suppress his transformation technique desire."
"Because just the aura from Moria made him feel a strong sense of urgency in his heart."
Cain fell silent.
This was enough to show that Gecko Moria might be much stronger than Hank, and naturally stronger than himself.
He just didn't know who would be stronger or weaker when Hank entered 'Beast King Form', or that glowing 'Beast God Form'.
"Ahem, that's good. Millielia, maintain a good relationship with him."
Cain instructed: "However, since the other party is a prison guard, it's probably hard for him to help you much. If you're active in the world, you must pay attention to safety."
Millielia knew he was concerned about her, showing a cute smile and nodding repeatedly: "Okay, I understand!"
Cain thought for a moment and added: "I'll ask the World Government later if they can allow us to send two guards to accompany you. This way, you'll have someone to support you when you travel around the world in the future."
After all, he couldn't ask the World Government to specifically assign people to guard Millielia.
"That's a good idea. You can't stay in prison forever either."
Elaine strongly supported this, but Millielia shook her head.
"No need. Uncle Moria said that if I want to go out and play, he will contact his clansmen outside to follow me."
Cain said: "For guards, you should still choose your own people. And even if they are the so-called oni race, how strong can ordinary clansmen be?"
"I'll select two powerful Pseudo-Divine Weapon warriors from the army then!"
"Remember, even in this world, we 'Beast God World People' don't need to feel inferior!"
He wasn't married yet and had no children.
Therefore, the adopted Millielia was like his closest daughter to him.
Not to mention, she was the first 'Superpowered Individual' discovered in the 'Beast God World', and currently still the only one.
Elaine suddenly reminded him with a strange look:
"Ahem, Cain, Admiral Ryokugyu of the World Government is also said to be of the oni race, and both Moria and Admiral Ryokugyu are up to seven meters tall..."
Cain was stunned. Seven meters?
That was considered a large body size even among 'Pseudo-Divine Weapons'.
Most Pseudo-Divine Weapons, even after transformation technique, were only three or four meters tall at most.
For normal humans, who are generally between 1.6 and 1.8 meters, three or four meters was already considered very huge.
Standing in front of them could make people feel fear.
Cain turned to look at the back view of Hank, who had already crossed the center of the arena and was slowly approaching the west main gate, and sighed in his heart:
"Hank, how many more incredible things are there in this world?"
This also made his 'God Descent Plan' even more firm in his heart.
He must possess strength that the World Government would have to take seriously!
Using the power of the God of Dreams, Typhon, to become the strongest Pseudo-Divine Weapon!
Even if it required the sacrifice of many, many lives...
When Hank's figure completely disappeared into the main gate.
A few seconds later, the marching music that echoed throughout the stadium abruptly stopped.
The colorful lights also changed back to a uniform blue.
This made everyone understand that they were entering the next process.
As expected, Stella shouted into the microphone:
"Now, please welcome the first Head Warden of the Myriad Worlds Duel Arena, Mr. Vergo!"
She actually didn't know why the higher-ups told her to emphasize the word 'Mr.'.
At the same time.
Vergo, who stood up from his rostrum seat, appeared before all the audience.
Today, he specially wore a white suit with a grid pattern and his favorite dark blue tie.
However, he did not follow the suggestion of others to take off his sunglasses.
These were the sunglasses he had worn since childhood; without them, his mood would be severely affected.
But...
"Hey, why does this Head Warden Vergo have a pen stuck to his face?!"
"Hahahaha, are you kidding me? What's with that pen? Why doesn't it fall off when he stands up?"
For a moment, the audience in the entire stadium discussed animatedly, with occasional bursts of laughter.
However, Vergo didn't care at all. He cleared his throat and then began to speak into the microphone.
His voice was steady and powerful, every word clear and full of confidence and authority.
This gradually quieted the audience inside the arena, and they listened carefully to every word Vergo spoke.
Although they didn't know Vergo.
They could imagine that someone capable of managing the Myriad Worlds Duel Arena must have an extraordinary identity and strength.
After Vergo finished expressing his gratitude to all the participants, the on-site personnel, and the workers who built the stadium.
He then began to talk about some surprising official matters.
"The Myriad Worlds Duel Arena does not only serve the Top 100 Competition."
"When the Top 100 Competition ends, we will start the 'Myriad Worlds Ranking Match'."
"Anyone who registers as an adventurer with the Adventurer's Guild can exchange blows with other adventurers in this Myriad Worlds Duel Arena. The winner will gain points to improve their rank, while the loser will naturally lose points."
"The level of the ranking is roughly consistent with the adventurer's level, divided into Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Diamond, but above Diamond, there is also a King rank, and there can only be ten Kings."
"At the same time, adventurers of each rank will receive generous prize money from the Myriad Worlds Duel Arena every month, and according to their rank, they will enjoy corresponding consumption discounts on all expenses throughout the city."
"However, at least one match must be played each month, otherwise corresponding points will be automatically deducted. Also, both sides of each match need to pay a small venue management fee."
Many audience members inside the arena and outside had their eyes light up.
This meant that even without any job, as long as you could get a rank in the Duel Arena, you could still have enough income to live on!
And the higher the rank, the more discounts you would get on expenses for clothing, food, housing, transportation, and medical care in the RL1110 Area.
This was encouraging adventurers to stay long-term and frequently participate in ranking competitions at the Duel Arena!
They could already imagine the scene of experts from various places in the world surging over after this Top 100 Competition ended, and then engaging in fierce battles day and night here.
And these people would definitely participate in the Top 100 Competition held every four years...
The Adventurer's Guild, no, it should be the World Government, planned to support and cultivate people who were passionate about combat.
Even if they didn't join the military!
"Finally, the ranking in the Myriad Worlds Ranking Match will be synchronized with the adventurer's level."
"For example, if a Black Iron adventurer becomes a Gold duelist, he will be promoted to a Gold adventurer."
"Similarly, if a Gold adventurer participates in the Myriad Worlds Ranking Match, they will be directly matched with Gold duelists," Vergo said again.
Actually, this was somewhat unreasonable, because there was still a difference between adventurers and duelists.
The former tested more the ability to complete various missions, while the latter specialized in one-on-one battle.
But Donquixote Doflamingo, Shanks, Morgan William, and Benn Beckman discussed it and still decided to link the two.
After all, duelists with stronger combat power would definitely have a greater advantage when performing missions.
If you made them start from low-level missions again, it would be too much of a waste of these people's time and energy.
As for those adventurers who felt they were not good at combat but had a high level accumulated through missions, they could completely choose not to duel.
In short, Donquixote Doflamingo and the others still paid more importance to individual combat power.
This was actually the tendency of the entire society in the world.
"Okay, thank you very much for Mr. Vergo's speech!"
After Vergo finished speaking and sat down, Stella, the host, shouted again:
"Please rise!"
The hundreds of thousands of audience members in the stadium were stunned. Hadn't the flag just been raised?
"Next, please welcome the President of the Adventurer's Guild, Saint Donquixote Doflamingo, to give a speech!"
Huh?
Don... Donquixote Doflamingo... Saint?
Saint!!!
Most of the people present were from the world.
As soon as Stella's voice fell, their eyes widened in immense shock.
The next second, large swathes of the audience quickly stood up from their chairs.
Many even instinctively lowered their heads and knelt down the moment they saw Donquixote Doflamingo stand up on the rostrum.
This was the influence and deterrence brought by the Celestial Dragons' rule over the world for nearly a thousand years.
They truly did not expect the President of the Adventurer's Guild to be a Celestial Dragon!
"Fufufufufu~~"
"Rise. Today, you are allowed to stand and listen..."
"Next, let's welcome our final special contestant!"
The beautiful and ethereal Stella, with a warm smile, held a microphone in her left hand and gestured with her right hand towards the main gate on the east side.
