Armipotent

Tang Shaoyang was a little bit surprised inside. He expected Ira to ask him to join her faction, not the alliance. What surprised him even more was that the offer was not as a subordinate but as an equal standing in the alliance.

He understood why they offered him such a good offer. It was him, not his empire or his people. For all things he had shown, they wanted someone like him to be on their side. The offer was too good to refuse.

If Ira was telling the truth, then there was no disadvantage for him. But again, there was no benefit to him accepting the offer. He did not need their help because he wanted all the God Rank's bodies. The chance of him dying in this trial was almost zero with his Seven Souls. He still had five lives, and each time he revived, he was ten percent stronger.

"I still need time to think about your invitation to join Nebula," Tang Shaoyang was genuine when he said he needed time to consider the invitation.

He needed to discuss everything with his people. There were many things to consider since he knew nothing about the God Realm.

"As for the help, I don't think I need your help with the trial. But I have to warn you, whoever tries to kill me, I will kill them. Even if they are your people."

Tang Shaoyang reminded Ira that he would not spare her people if they attacked him first. His rule was simple, whoever tried to kill him for the points, then he would retaliate. Of course, after knowing The Nirvana Alliance's people were here, they would be his number one target.

Ira nodded, "I will warn, but I can't control them when they are on the battlefield." She implied that her people might be tempted by the bounty and would try to kill Tang Shaoyang. She reminded Tang Shaoyang to be careful of her people as well.

The Admin Helper glanced to the side, noticing a lot of people were sitting around them. They were glancing at Tang Shaoyang. Some of them seemed to be trying to approach Tang Shaoyang but hesitated because of her.

"You are quite popular, hah?" She let out a chuckle as she looked at the crown above Tang Shaoyang's head, "I will take my leave before they truly hate me for taking your time."

Ira brought the tray with her and left the table. Tang Shaoyang let out a sigh when Ira left. He did not want her to leave to ward off these people from approaching him. He noticed it earlier than Ira as more people gathered around their table even though there were so many empty tables. There was no excuse to keep Ira from leaving.

Tang Shaoyang thought of leaving before they came to him, but he was just too late. A man in a white tunic stood before him, smiling, and nodded, "Hello, I am Thorm. Do you have time? There's something I want to talk about with you."

Tang Shaoyang could act arrogant and drive him away, but it was just too much even for him. Especially how polite the man was.

"I am Tang. But I have to refill my food first, then we can talk."

He took a glance at the man's crown which was a silver crown. Of course, he could not measure someone's strength on the crown, but it would give a picture of the man's range. As strong as Novoa Valentine, might be stronger and might be weaker. He could not just assume the man was on the same level as Novoa Valentine.

After refilling his food, Thorm was already on Ira's chair with his own food. Once he returned to his seat, Thorm started the conversation with a chit-chat. Then Thorm revealed his intention which was forming a party.

Tang Shaoyang declined the invitation politely despite the offer. Thorm did not hide his intention that he wanted Tang Shaoyang to get him second place and was promised the territory as well as a God Rank spear. Thorm did not disclose the details of the spear, but it was a God Rank spear.

If Tang Shaoyang failed to carry Thorm to second place, then there would be no reward. Even without that condition, Tang Shaoyang declined the invitation. After Thorm left, another one approached him.

They came with the same intention and promising rewards, but Tang Shaoyang declined all invitations. He expected people would cause mischief for him during this kind of thing, but everyone who approached was polite. None of them acted arrogant and made trouble for him. They came with an offer and also a reward but with a certain condition.

Tang Shaoyang liked his breakfast light, but because of how unique the taste was, he ended up finishing five servings. Usually, he would stay and enjoy his coffee, but he decided to leave the lounge. He could not enjoy his coffee with so many people trying to take his time.

"I am sorry, but I have to return to my room," He said to the man who just arrived at his table.

Before leaving the table, he checked the number of participants. He tried to guess when all the participants arrived because he wanted to try one or two dungeons. But he knew he did not have enough time for a dungeon run, even one after checking the number.

[995/1000 Participants]

In just half an hour, 155 new participants arrived. They just needed the last batch, and the last stage would start. Before he could even take his first step, he witnessed the number change to 1000/1000.

[Congratulations to one thousand challengers who have passed the second stage to take the last stage of the trial, The Crown!]

[The Crown will start now! Get ready for a teleportation!]

[5… 4… 3… 2… 1…]

Tang Shaoyang's vision blacked for a moment because of the sudden teleportation. It was abrupt, there was no briefing or anything. He thought after the first announcement. The System would tell him the terrain and stuff, giving him more time for the last preparation.
