Chapter 389 Appearance
The massive hall, packed with over a thousand people, was dead silent.
Elbert slowly scanned the room.
His combat awareness kicked in, covering the entire venue.
Clusters of red light appeared clearly before his eyes.
B8, C5, C6, C9, D3!
The highest level of modified humans from various countries was only D-level!
The only D3 was from Veridiania's Dragon Might, who had acquired the Cube technology!
Elbert frowned slightly, his hand gently touching the water drop pendant, the countdown showing 02:03:45.
Two hours left until the countdown hit zero.
Yet, there was no sign of any threat at the scene.
But no one else knew what Elbert was thinking.
They only saw his frown, and their hearts sank.
Twenty minutes later.
One of the stands finally filled with people.
Among them, only about thirty were core members, but there were hundreds of bodyguards!
And among these thirty, there were hardly any young faces!
Each one had a dignified appearance and an imposing presence.
These were the big shots from the War Departments or official representatives of various countries!
To everyone's surprise.
Sterling, the leader of Victoria, had personally attended!
And leaders from over a dozen countries with good relations with Victoria were also present!
Veridiania was represented by an elderly man in a gray suit.
Alaric, Jeffery, and a seemingly drunk old man accompanied him.
A group of foreign executives was taken aback when they saw the LED display of the Punisher Organization.
Even they hadn't expected this!
Only the elderly man in the gray suit from Veridiania slightly raised his head, as this was arranged by Alaric's request.
Although the Punisher Organization had no nationality, they were descendants of Veridiania!
The elderly man in the gray suit slightly raised his head, looking at Sterling with a 'do you have a problem?' expression.
Sterling gritted his teeth and lowered his head, thinking to himself, "Fine, you win this time! Punisher Organization! Enjoy your moment of glory! The moment you return to Phantom Island will be your downfall!"
The seemingly drunk old man from Veridiania looked at the five young figures on the Punisher Organization's stage and slightly curled his lips.
Damn kid, leading my children astray!
Then.
After a brief opening ceremony.
The elderly man in the gray suit from Veridiania gave the order.
The competition began!
The rules were simple!
A total of 29 forces were participating!
Using an elimination system!
The computer randomly matched the first-round opponents!
On the big screen, the names of the countries scrolled rapidly!
The results were determined, with 28 forces competing one-on-one!
The bye: Punisher Organization!
The Punisher Organization automatically advanced to the next round!
Everyone had mixed feelings!
Drawing the Punisher Organization meant immediate elimination!
Now, although they didn't draw them, the agony was prolonged!
Then the countries began to compete!
The atmosphere was eerie!
Although the fights were intense, everyone felt incredibly oppressed!
It was because of the white-clad young man on the Punisher Organization's stage!
He exuded a powerful pressure that made it hard for everyone to breathe!
The sound of heavy blows echoed continuously!
Some were defeated, some were directly knocked out!
Half an hour later, 14 teams were eliminated!
The second-round draw began!
The 14 remaining teams all looked at the Punisher Organization's stage!
The screen displayed: Competitor, Paul Five!
For some reason, everyone felt a glimmer of hope!
Who was this Paul Five?
He had never shown up before!
It seemed like he was the leader of the Punisher Organization!
Usually, the leaders of major forces wouldn't modify themselves!
Because big shots didn't want to take risks!
Could it be that Paul Five was weak?
Everyone shook their heads, dismissing their fantasies, and looked at the match results.
The Punisher Organization still had a bye, automatically advancing to the next round!
The odds were incredibly low!
The agony was prolonged again!
Sterling in the stands gritted his teeth even harder!
"He must have used hackers! He doesn't even want to fight, just wants to show off!" Sterling thought, "I'll tolerate you a little longer!"
Then, the battles resumed!
This time, the remaining competitors were strong, and the fights lasted a full 40 minutes!
In the end, 7 teams emerged victorious!
The other stages' lights had already gone out!
A new round of matches began!
But this time, everyone was even more nervous!
With 8 teams left, no more odd numbers, the Punisher Organization was about to compete!
Elbert gently rubbed the water drop pendant in his hand.
Countdown: 00:08:36!
Then.
The match results were announced!
The Punisher Organization was up against another neutral modification agency!
"My God!"
Robbins' legs went weak, nearly collapsing, his face filled with terror!
Because.
The opponent drawn to face the Punisher Organization was none other than the so-called 'Guardian of the Modified Human Era,' FIC!
Elbert felt uneasy, frowning slightly, and slowly stood up!
His movement instantly drew everyone's attention!
He slowly walked off the stage, speaking softly, "No need to make this complicated."
No one understood what he meant!
But no one dared to ask!
Elbert slowly walked towards the FIC stage, looking up at the stunned FIC members.
"You."
"Dare to compete with me?"
Elbert's deep voice echoed!
FIC representative Robbins felt like he was struck by lightning, his body trembling, "We forfeit!"
Saying this, Robbins quickly stepped forward and pressed the button in front of him!
The next moment, the lights on the FIC stage went out!
Everyone was dumbfounded!
FIC had just conceded defeat and withdrawn!
Elbert nodded slightly and continued walking forward.
The next stage was Seraphine's!
Their competitor was the assassin who had once claimed to have killed Shepherd!
The assassin was not only an FIC member but also of Seraphine nationality!
He had been called upon to represent the great eagle!
But now, everyone in FIC knew that the real expert was the person in front of them, Hero Squad Paul Six!
The assassin trembled, knowing he had stolen the other's credit!
And he wasn't just Paul Six, but also Punisher Paul Five!
The assassin was terrified, and without a word, he stepped forward and turned off the lights!
Seraphine forfeited!
Elbert continued walking.
The next stage was Evalia's, with their hero Harper!
Evalia's president, Leopold was also in the stands!
In their eyes, Elbert wasn't a modified human, just a super scientific genius!
Maybe, he couldn't defeat the C+ level Harper!
But Elbert was a great benefactor to Evalia!
How could they be enemies?
Leopold waved his hand slightly!
Harper, understanding the gesture, turned off the lights!
Evalia, who had been in the spotlight recently, forfeited!
Elbert moved to the next stage!
Veridiania's Dragon Might!
The competitor was the former instructor, Violet Moon!
She had benefited from the Cube modification and was the only D-level in the venue!
But Elbert just glanced at her!
Violet Moon didn't hesitate, turning off the lights!
Dragon Might forfeited!
Elbert continued walking!
The remaining countries were already scared out of their wits!
As Elbert passed by.
The remaining lights went out one by one!
In a moment, all the stages except the Punisher Organization's were dark!
Everyone was stunned!
They couldn't tell if the Punisher Organization was too terrifying or if Paul Five's presence was too overwhelming!
Either way, no one dared to challenge him!
He won without a fight!
Elbert said nothing, climbing the steps layer by layer.
He reached the top!
He didn't touch the trophy but stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the entire venue!
The water drop pendant on his chest showed a countdown of 00:03:26!
