The Beast Arena, comparable in scale to the Olympic Bird's Nest on Aqua Star, can accommodate nearly one hundred thousand spectators.
In the center, there are large arenas where fierce battles take place. Strong Insect Beasts engage in combat, with victors advancing and losers being eliminated, igniting the audience's passion.
Currently, the strength of the Insect Beasts is nearly equivalent to the peak of the Ultimate Evolution Body, capable of overpowering human Ultimate Warriors. Even an entire legion would struggle to leave any Insect Beast unscathed.
Yet, these formidable Insect Beasts are fighting each other here, with explosive roars echoing throughout as terrifying attacks send thousands into a frenzy of excitement.
Now, the final victor has emerged, standing before the Supreme Ruler. With power, wealth, and strength at his fingertips, he commands envy and jealousy from both the live audience in the Beast Arena and those watching on the Magic Web, all eagerly awaiting his response.
Bang!
Vaxinger knelt heavily on one knee, looking up at his counterpart. His previously expressionless face was now filled with desire. "I want to become the strongest, stronger than those Spirit Masters!"
The arena fell silent in an instant as everyone stared at him in shock.
No matter how powerful the Insect Beasts are, the strongest among equals remains the Spirit Masters!
Spirit Masters are the mainstay of this world; unparalleled warriors suppressing everything around them. No matter how hard ordinary people strive, they cannot contend with them—just as mortals cannot oppose deities!
The best example is right before them: Xiar, the supreme ruler of Source Nation, is also a Spirit Master!
Is he really aiming to become a being stronger than Source Lord? That’s simply outrageous!
"Why would you want that? Don’t you wish to become a Spirit Master?" Xiar asked with a smile.
He recognized this person as someone he had met months ago—a former ordinary City Guard captain from Storm Harbor and seemingly the leader of a True God Cult branch in Farn County, under Yolanda.
Unfortunately, Yolanda had already been killed by him, and the True God Cult branch was uprooted entirely, leaving this individual as a drifting leaf without roots.
He didn’t mind this person’s background; he would dare employ even an imperial prince and brainwash them to oppose the imperial family.
It might seem overly malicious, but isn’t it true that dealing with one’s own kind is what Sun Tzu referred to as winning without fighting?
The more chaos and self-destruction, the better; that way, he could effortlessly dominate everything.
"I want to surpass the Spirit Master and become a supreme being like you, proving that martial artists are not on a dead-end path!" Vaxinger declared loudly again, his body trembling slightly, clearly struggling to bear the weight of Xiar's gaze, yet still holding himself upright.
"Of course, I can grant you limitless Evolution potential, but how far you go depends entirely on you," Xiar nodded, recalling his own abilities that seemed applicable to Vaxinger.
"Thank you, Source Lord!" Vaxinger exclaimed excitedly, bowing repeatedly.
Then Xiar issued another appointment: "Additionally, I appoint you as Captain of the Fifth Army Corps, commanding all warriors who control Insect Beasts. Lead my forces to the north!"
"Thank you, great Source Lord! I will ensure the legion does not suffer disgrace; I vow it with my life!" Vaxinger placed his right hand over his heart, solemnly accepting the appointment.
"Alright, come with me. You will also participate in the upcoming Founding Ceremony," Xiar said as he stood up and left the viewing platform, boarding a large Flying Insect Beast that had flown over. Vaxinger, Zoro, and others followed closely behind.
Once they departed, the entire venue erupted into a frenzy of discussion among the thousands present, all buzzing about the earlier scene.
When Xiar was present, they felt as if they were facing a towering mountain; even breathing became difficult. Naturally, they dared not speak or shout until he had left.
The seven legions had long been announced on the Magic Web, making it clear that this was no ordinary Human Legion but the formidable Insect Beast Legion.
Each legion boasted tens of thousands of Insect Beasts as soldiers and hundreds of humans as leaders, easily capable of slaughtering the previous hundreds of thousands from the Barbarian Legion!
Now, Vaxinger had transformed from an ordinary adventurer to a top-tier figure in Source Nation in an instant, becoming the Captain of such a terrifying legion—a true leap forward!
Soon after, the selection criteria for soldiers in the Fifth Legion were published on the Magic Web.
This legion seemed tailored for this generation's participants; anyone in the top ten thousand would qualify to enlist and become one of its commanders.
Some exceptionally powerful Insect Beast Controllers would enter an even more mysterious and powerful unit, enjoying treatment unimaginable to ordinary people as part of the Great Sovereign's direct forces!
However, the upcoming grand event forced them to pause their speculations and enlistments.
The Founding Ceremony of Source Nation was about to take place right after the conclusion of the Beast Fighting Tournament. At that time, ambassadors from various empires and kingdoms would be invited to attend this grand ceremony together!
Since the disaster began, the death toll within the Source Nation has been remarkably low compared to other regions, even falling below one percent.
In stark contrast, several northern counties and kingdoms have suffered devastating losses, with conservative estimates suggesting that casualties exceed one-third of their total population.
Videos and images from the north have circulated widely on the Magic Web, allowing ordinary people to witness the grim reality there, further amplifying their admiration for the Source Lord's greatness.
With sheer force, he has suppressed the chaos within his domain, instilling fear in all monsters and preventing them from recklessly attacking humans. Instead, human adventurers have taken to hunting them down in droves!
Now, due to the widespread proliferation of Insect Beasts, the situation for Radiation Monsters has become increasingly dire. Many monsters have been hunted to extinction in various areas, forcing them to migrate elsewhere.
As a result, people from three surrounding counties have fled to the Source Nation, causing its population to swell from sixteen million to twenty million!
These fleeing individuals are not just ordinary citizens; they include nobles from various territories—Barons, Viscounts, and Counts are among them.
Unfortunately, the Source Nation refuses to recognize their noble status.
Not only them; even the nobles within the nation have been stripped of their titles. To maintain any semblance of superiority, they must contribute to the establishment of this new Empire.
Under the overwhelming suppression of countless Insect Beasts, no noble has been foolish enough to resist. They have all obediently taken on roles as wealthy merchants, leveraging their substantial family fortunes to engage in trade like ordinary businessmen.
This is a burgeoning Empire—one that stands apart from all other nations and powers in the world—a new Empire aspiring to usher in a new era!
