Chapter 516: There is a Certain Risk of Death!
As soon as the members of Squad 10 came out, they gave people a sense of unreality.
How could it be such a coincidence?
The five most famous contestants all got the same number, but the process of getting the ball just now was done in front of everyone, which made people have to believe it was a coincidence.
It must be said that the people of these four worlds are quite simple and honest.
They don't have so many complicated thoughts in their minds and strongly believe everything they see with their own eyes.
In fact, there was still something fishy going on.
After all, how could there truly be such a coincidence in the world?
The Mastermind was Im, who was in Another World, in another space.
This 'First Multiverse Combat Power Competition' actually only had people from three Otherworlds. If these few people were completely scattered into different Teams, it would look too troublesome for him.
It would be better to put these people together so that he could not only concentrate on watching the Competition but also save a lot of Time, and the program Effect would be better.
As for how the people below achieved the Effect he wanted, that was not the Matter he needed to consider.
Im only looked at the result.
It seemed that the people below had done a good job, at least to the extent that others could not find fault.
Besides Squad 10, there were also the relatively special Squad 5 and Team 12.
The Members of Squad 5 were Ben Beckman, Yasopp, Mekko, Krieg, and Arlong. Team 12 was entirely the Demon Slayer Corps, with Members consisting of Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka, Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito, Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku, Wind Hashira Sanemi, and Serpent Hashira Obanai Iguro.
Compared to the others, Team 12 was the most outrageous.
How could it be such a coincidence, so coincidental that five people from the same World happened to be put together?
It wasn't that there were no Audience who raised objections, but they had no Evidence and could only grumble a few words. The key was that this type of Competition format was the first Time anyone in any World had ever seen it.
So even though the various supervision mechanisms were very imperfect, most people were still immersed in the novelty and couldn't extricate themselves.
And just as Im thought, such 'coincidental' Teams were already very interesting even before the Combat began.
As for the feelings of the other participants?
Who cares?
On the Deck, Muzan Kibutsuji glanced at the four teammates who had actively walked over. His mood was very speechless. No matter how he looked at it, he was the Strongest in this Team.
How could this be?
He wanted to be protected, not to protect others!
Tengen Uzui's Gaze towards Muzan Kibutsuji was also very complex. This was the Demon Progenitor he had been single-mindedly thinking of killing before, and now they were teammates in Another World?
If there really was a God who controlled Fate in the World, was it too much of a joke on him?
To be honest.
Seeing Muzan Kibutsuji's seemingly harmless Smile, his palms felt a little itchy, and he could only forcefully suppress the urge to draw his Nichirin Exploding Blade and slash over.
"Calm down, I'm not a Demon anymore. You must remember this~"
Muzan Kibutsuji easily saw through his inner thoughts but didn't care at all. In his opinion, this Sound Hashira just hadn't learned about the Matter he was about to do.
After all, Kyojuro Rengoku and Sanemi definitely hadn't had Time to tell the other party about the previous Matters.
In other words, he regarded Tengen Uzui as his capable subordinate in the Future, and naturally wouldn't be angry because of his current 'ignorant' behavior.
"I am Morgan William, an East Blue Person from the World. I am a Logia System Steam Fruit Ability User. It is an honor to meet Researcher Muzan here. Please give me your guidance."
At this Time, William also smiled and actively greeted Muzan, then swept his friendly Gaze towards Tengen Uzui, Mima Amatori, and Levi.
"Hello, friends from different Worlds."
"Hello, I am Mima Amatori from CIPHER POL-8, from the 'Kabaneri World' of Star Gate Number Two."
Mima Amatori did not call his World 'Ancestral World' like Mekko and Hozumi, but openly used the three words 'Kabaneri World'.
In his opinion, there was nothing that couldn't be mentioned. It was also very appropriate for the World Government to use 'Kabaneri World' as the Code Name for his World of origin. After all, the only thing that could be considered a Characteristics in that World was the Kabaneri World.
As for claiming to be a Member of 'CP-8', that was because 'CP-9' was a Secret Team according to regulations, so they could only say they were 'CP-8' to the outside World.
For a Time.
In the five-person Squad, Muzan Kibutsuji, Morgan William, and Mima Amatori exchanged pleasantries and Communication with Smiles on their faces, while Tengen Uzui and Levi stood silently on the side with no Expression.
In fact, Tengen Uzui was also a 'social bandit'. If Muzan Kibutsuji wasn't there, his voice would probably be the loudest right now.
As for Levi, he was truly too lazy to Speak with them. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and observed the composition of the other Squads, especially Squad 5 and Team 12.
Besides those, only the Teams mixed with Fish-Man Tribe, Mink Tribe, or Haki Experts were worth noting.
Levi naturally knew about Haki.
But he had joined the World Government for too short a Time and had taken the 'Cells Enhancement Serum' for too short a Time, so he only had Time to master the Wind Breathing Style and Accompanying Swordsmanship.
But he would not Fear those who could use Haki because of this.
He already knew the specific Effects of Armament Haki and Observation Haki, so he would have a way to deal with them when the Time came.
In Levi's opinion, Observation Haki was actually more troublesome than Armament Haki.
The latter just gave people an invisible Armor. He could just slash more Times with his Twin Swords; it wasn't without consumption. On the contrary, the Ability of Observation Haki to Sense Aura and Predict Movements was very troublesome.
Half an hour later.
Under the patient waiting of countless Audience, this Steel Cruise Ship, protected in the Center by four Marine Warships, finally arrived in the Sea Area near the so-called 'Ice Fire Island'.
"Wow!"
"This, this... What is this!"
"It's amazing, it's like a Myth scene appearing before my eyes. Is this the World, is this the World Government?!"
In the air, two Air Force Flying Warships were using Visual Den Den Mushi to broadcast a bird's-eye Footage of the entire Environment of 'Ice Fire Island' to the Audience of the four Worlds, which caused many people to Exclaim and sigh.
On the large and small Virtual Screens in Various Places in the World Nations, a World had already appeared that was half Iceberg and snowy ground, and half Volcano and scorched ground, with a circular Lake in the Center Area.
In addition.
There was an Ice Castle and a black stone Castle at the upper and lower ends respectively, and in front, there were three Main Roads. Every few kilometers along each Main Road, there was a Gun Turret over ten meters high, totaling three.
That is to say...
Both sides of the Main Roads were dense Forests, except that the Trees on the snowy side were covered with snow, while the Trees on the scorched side were all withered.
On one side, the Cold Wind howled, and on the other side, the Heatwave surged.
"Attention all participants, we have arrived at the Rematch Stage venue, 'Ice Fire Island'. I will now give the final introduction to the competition format. Please listen carefully."
"Due to the excessive Casualties in the previous 'Selection Trial', the World Government has specially added two new regulations."
"One, during this Rematch Stage, intentionally killing opponent Members is prohibited. Causing them to lose Combat Ability is sufficient, such as incapacitation or unconsciousness. When necessary, protection personnel will intervene to stop lethal attacks. If the attacker is subsequently determined to have acted with Malice, they may be disqualified."
"Two, in the Competition, if one side is the first to destroy all the Cannons on the opponent's Turrets, they can also Obtain the final Victory. Note that these Cannons will automatically attack opponent Members, and there is a certain risk of Death."
