"Ladies and gentlemen..." The blond man was still standing on the ring, holding the microphone, and enthusiastically explaining to the audience, "All the matches in the tower have no rules and no restrictions. As long as you can kill your opponent, you can participate."
He looked at Cen Yu, who was dressed in the most common attire of residents of the decadent district, and then at Luther, who was almost fully armed.
Everyone knows this is an unfair game—but nobody cares.
As long as it's bloody, violent, and brutally defeats the opponent, as long as it's exciting enough, the people inside the tower won't care how disparate the strengths of the two sides are.
The only concern might be that the opponent is too weak, and Luther could finish the fight in a few dozen seconds.
Ryan glanced at the ground, thinking that the cleaners inside the tower were probably going to yell at them for being unhygienic again... He looked at Cen Yu, a man with messy black hair, about 180 cm tall, and no signs of mutation.
He had no weapons in his hands.
"Wait, pause." Ryan suddenly made a pause gesture, placing his hand between Cen Yu and Luther. "In Box 001, a generous gentleman is offering to sponsor Cen Yu with a weapon..."
“Let me see.” Ryan didn’t care about the boos from the audience. After all, these pigs were just there to make up the numbers. Their big clients were the upper-class people sitting in the private boxes.
“A dagger.” He took out a brand-new dagger from his teleportation pocket and solemnly handed it to Cen Yu. “This is VIP box number 001, sponsored by a generous gentleman.”
Cen Yu looked at the dagger the blond man was offering.
He reached out and grabbed it... He ran his fingers over the tip of the dagger, while Luther across from him grew impatient with the pointless pause.
Cen Yu glanced at the dagger in his hand, then beckoned to Luther with his finger—
Boos and cheers immediately erupted from the audience, who seemed eager to see how King Luther would slaughter this presumptuous scoundrel.
Luther was clearly enraged by Cen Yu's actions, and after the blond man left, he rushed towards Cen Yu at lightning speed.
His massive size, coupled with an agility completely disproportionate to his size, made him seem like a war machine.
Almost instinctively, he dodged the man's attack the instant it came, and his dagger immediately found the man's weak point.
—But it can't be pierced through.
Cen Yu immediately realized that Luther's body had probably been enhanced.
The dagger could not penetrate the opponent's skin at all.
Luther smiled, and his fan-like hand immediately reached for Cen Yu—
"A very intense battle," Ryan explained from the edge. "Unfortunately, Cen Yu didn't know that Luther's skin had been fully enhanced; even acid rain couldn't harm him in the slightest. His skin is harder than steel..."
"Let's take a look at Cen Yu's physique."
“Residents of the Fallen Zone who have not undergone any genetic enhancements and have no sponsors…” Ryan said, feigning regret. “Come on, Cen Yu, you can’t beat Luther like this.”
Cen Yu was very fast; he dodged yet another of Luther's attacks.
Luther remained calm and unhurried, seemingly thoroughly enjoying this cat-and-mouse game...
“Bug.” Luther looked at Cen Yu. “I will break your limbs and make your head my trophy.”
Cen Yu glanced at the sky above; inside the golden birdcage, the angel was watching their battle with bated breath.
“Then let’s guess…” Cen Yu held the dagger in his hand, “whose head will fall first.”
Luther seemed enraged by the reckless provocation before him, and his figure appeared to have grown almost enormous in Cen Yu's view—the blond man even exclaimed in surprise, "This is Luther's ability, gigantification..."
Poor Cen Yu.
"Shut up, you golden retriever!" Cen Yu shouted.
Just as Luther's body was about to collide with his—
Cen Yu looked at Luther, and at the same time looked at the high and mighty 001 VIP box.
He opened his mouth and said a few words.
The voice was too soft, and the cheers from below the stage were too loud. Even Luther couldn't hear what Cen Yu had said at that moment.
He looked at Cen Yu, whose skin was pale and whose face was indifferent, and suddenly wondered what this man would look like when he was torn to pieces—
But he could only dream about it.
Luther saw blood splattering everywhere.
Before his mind could even process what was happening, his body was already torn to pieces... Luther's head rolled a few times on the ground and came to Cen Yu's feet.
All of this happened so suddenly.
Even the replay on the big screen didn't tell us what had happened.
In the scene, Luther has already charged towards Cen Yu, and his gigantic body is twice the size of Cen Yu's.
Cen Yu simply looked up at him...
The next second, Luther's body seemed to be squeezed and split by something unseen, and finally turned into pieces that fell to the ground of the ring.
Cen Yu looked at Luther's head, which had rolled down to his side.
The bloodstains on the ground were still spreading along the arena... Cen Yu looked up at the blond man with bloodstains on his gray suit.
"Aren't you going to announce it?" Cen Yu asked.
The blond man was still holding a microphone. He looked at Cen Yu, who was standing in a pool of blood. The other man's cheeks and hair were covered in freshly splattered blood, and some bloodstains had even landed on the beauty mark under his eye.
The other person had an angel tattoo blowing a trumpet on their arm, and their tongue piercing was very noticeable as they spoke.
Ryan looked down at his suit... Even though he was some distance away, there were still some drops of blood splattered on his face and blond hair.
"Haha." Ryan suddenly burst into laughter.
He wiped the blood from his face, strode up to Cen Yu, kicked the former king's head away, then grabbed Cen Yu's arm and lifted him up—
"Let us congratulate..."
"A player who has defeated the champion has been born!"
"Cen Yu!"
A thunderous uproar erupted from the audience. Cen Yu looked at the blond man beside him and said, "The prize."
He pointed at the angel in the cage, not forgetting that his main mission was to take the protagonist to Zone 1.
The blond man still wore that same sly, fox-like expression. He looked at Cen Yu with his eyes crinkled, showing no intention of letting go of his wrist. "Don't you want to reconsider?"
"You can continue to defend your title."
"The tower can offer you much more..."
As if trying to seduce Cen Yu, he lowered his head and approached him, "Anything you want, clean water, food..." He looked up at the angel in the cage, "and of course, countless beauties."
“No need,” Cen Yu said. “I’ll take him with me.”
The blond man's expression remained unchanged, his hand still gripping Cen Yu's wrist... Then, it seemed he received some kind of notification—
He glanced up at box number 001 at the top of the tower, then said to Cen Yu:
"New message."
"The generous gentleman in Box 001 wishes to invite the new hero in the tower to Box 001."
