Chapter 1065: League of Defiance Final Selection
And just like that, five more days passed, leaving only 15 days before the awakening.
Klaus and Icon had worked tirelessly for the past five days creating several dozen Array prisons.
It took them four days to complete this setup, and they began brainstorming other measures they could take in preparation for the upcoming awakening.
After five days, the preliminaries of the League of Defiance finally came to an end. The elimination round followed. The main event began with 6 Domain, 10 Nether stage, and 14 Ascension stage warriors.
So far, the battles that had occurred were merely a way to fish out the main warriors with potential for the main event. They wanted the first edition to be perfect, so the warriors who would battle it out had been selected.
Naturally, Pickle Berry is in charge of the League simply because when it comes to stuff like this, she is the most experienced.
She will be 16 years old in a few days, meaning Klaus will start recalling his life as Kaden. But even so, Pickle Berry already has memories of her life spent with Klaus’s 8th incarnation.
This means that, after leaving for many years and seeing what needed to be seen, she is perfectly suited for this role. Of course, she has helpers, but the face of the first edition of the League of Defiance is Pickle Berry.
“The six Domain stage who had qualified for the Domain League of Defiance are,” Pickle Berry said, broadcasting to the entire world, “Nyxthar, the Deathknight.”
An image of Nyxthar appeared, causing his fans to cheer all over the world. The past days had seen how impressive Nyxthar was, so he had developed a bit of a fan base.
“We also have Eryx, the one-eyed demon spawn.”
Eryx’s image appeared, and just like Nyxthar, cheers rang out everywhere. Many people witnessed his duel with Nyxthar, so seeing them qualify for the main event made them want to see them fight for real this time.
“The third is Veylor, the Infernal Bowmaster.” The greatest Bowmaster anyone had ever seen also appeared, earning his own cheers.
“War Goddess Miriam, the Supreme Swordmaiden.” The 4th of course is Miriam, who had displayed how impressively she could wield the sword and light energy.
“Vampire Queen Tifa, the nameless Vampire.” The beautiful vampire queen decided to let go of her worries and join the League of Defiance.
She had defeated the likes of Asmodeus, Eren, and Hans. Of course, Alesi didn’t join, citing she had no plans of fighting her idol.
Her idol, of course, is the 6th on Pickle Berry’s list.
“And the final contestant is our very own Overlord of the Earth, Queenie, also known as the Asura Queen.”
Naturally, her cheers were more than any of the 5 contestants. Of course, it was to be expected.
After all, Queenie is someone who has fought and protected the Earth from the day the apocalypse descended. So they love her more than the others.
Klaus’ uncles didn’t participate, saying they didn’t like to bully the young ones. Kilian joined, but he was defeated by Queenie. Of course, at first glance, it was obvious he didn’t put much effort into their battle.
Ohema, who was paired against her sister, gave an excuse that she had attained some enlightenment and wanted to enter seclusion, so she forfeited their battle.
Later, she told her sisters she had no plans to fight her sister even if it was in a virtual world. When asked why, she claimed she didn’t want to defeat her this early in her rise to dominance.
Naturally, that was bullshit, but her sisters indulged her in her wishful thinking.
Pickle Berry gave the lineup next.
Nyxthar will face Veylor. This lineup made the Infernal Bowmaster scratch his head with a weak smile. He knew he was cooked even before the battle.
Eryx will be facing Queenie. Naturally, this is a battle that everyone wants to watch.
Queenie merely smiled, seeing who she would be facing, while Asmodeus started teasing his brother for meeting the Asura Queen in his first big battle after he was summoned back from the dead.
Then Miriam will be facing her sister Tifa in yet another battle many want to witness.
This battle, however, is one Miriam wants to use to show her sister how powerful she has become and that if she ever needed help in the future, she can always turn to her.
After reuniting with her sister, Miriam had been doing her best to be strong enough to protect her sister just like she did for her from the shadows.
However, to Tifa, this was the only chance she would have to have a good battle with her sister should she fail to the heavens and reclaim her fate in 16 days’ time.
They all have their objectives, so it is proposed to be a memorable battle.
Of course, if Prince Challa were to be around, he would have joined, which many from the Bast Race knew he would have been part of the 6 Domain stage warriors. However, he is in seclusion, tying up loose ends.
In fact, even Lord Trench didn’t join and instead chose to act as Pickle Berry’s personal guard.
As for the ten Nether stage warriors, the first two are Linx and Jinx, Asha’s first and second in command. They are at the peak of the Nether stage and two of the deadliest warriors to grace the battlefield in the upcoming duel.
Mason, Lily, Danny, Old Lu, Miguel, Hanna, Sword King Hiroshi (Aoi’s father), and Aoi.
In a twist nobody saw coming, Aoi was paired against her father. Of course, in terms of cultivation base, Aoi is at the peak while her father is at level 7.
However, he wasn’t known as the Sword King for nothing, and now that he has Klaus’s blood flowing through him, he has become much more dangerous.
Of course, many Nether stage warriors didn’t join. There are just too many Nether stage warriors on Earth, and no time to make them all fight to select the top ten.
As for the 14 Ascension stage warriors, 6 are from the Cavalry of Defiance, 4 came from the Bast Race, and the rest came from the Vampire Race.
Klaus wasn’t paying much attention to the League due to how busy he was. However, when he found out 6 people from the Cavalry of Defiance made it into the main event, he was happy.
After all, they are his passion project, so seeing them succeed was something that brought him great joy.
He will be around for the final battles, but for now, his focus is on making sure Earth is ready for what’s coming.
The Ascension League of Defiance was first to commence. All 7 battles happened at the same time. Naturally, the audience had the option to watch all seven by selecting the one they wanted to watch.
After the seven winners were selected, which comprised 3 warriors from the Cavalry of Defiance, 2 Bast Races, and 2 Vampires, they took their slots, and one became a seeded candidate.
The next battle happened, and three more emerged as winners. The next day, the last battle to decide which two go to the final happened.
