Time felt slow. 

Liam's healing was fast enough to repair his skin tissue before it reached his bones.

It felt horrible…

Liam loved it.

In fact, he had to hold back a smile from forming on his face.

More and more of his flesh was being grinded to paste.

But Liam healed it before it dug into his bones.Please visit 𝓃𝑜𝓋𝓮𝓁-𝒏𝑒xt.c0m website to read fastest update

This physical strength was not normal at all.

Rin's strike was stronger than Spirit of Nature's!

It was a clear reminder that size and muscle mass did not dictate strength and power.

One thing was very clear.

Out of everyone here, Rin had the strongest physical strength. 

Even till now, the ball's speed didn't slow down at all. 

SHHHHHHHH!

However…the force became bearable. 

And Liam redirected the ball towards Hand of Light.

Kuan was taken aback.

The redirection was still too fast.

Plus, it came at a low angle, denying him any opportunity to pass the ball to his teammates. 

Kuan let out a curse. 

Waves of light gathered around his powerful fists, which he clasped together to smash the ball to the other side.

BOOM!

WHISH!

The ball… hit the net.

CHING!

Silence.

"Hand of Light," the Mayor said from above, "disqualified." 

Turning towards Liam, Kuan's face turned very, very ugly with rage.

However, his face slowly softened. 

Liam's hands looked like… well, they didn't look like hands. 

More like leftover flesh dropped in a piranha infested pond.

Liam had a pitiful expression on his face.

But not because of his pain.

'Gauntlets broke,' Liam thought. 'It took me time to make these…'

'Oh well. There's a lot more where that came from.' 

'He's a power-hungry creep with a massive ego and cunningness to balance out his arrogance.' 

It was no wonder he was called the General.

He could command people effortlessly. 

Meanwhile, Queen Thyress gave Rin a rare smile. 

If Liam's eyes didn't fail him, he even saw a bit of pride on the Queen's face.

The Sage shook his head with a little fear in her eyes. "I swear… they get more terrifying as the generations pass." 

Spirit of Nature had a concerned look on her face. 

"What freakish strength," Naomi said under her breath. "She is a monster." 

Obviously, everyone's powers were made average.

However, that was the terrifying part.

If this was just Rank 5 power… what about Rank 6 and beyond? 

"New positions, please!" the Mayor said. "Five versus six." 

"The Pashah's team will serve."

"I will make adjustments to the playground for the team with less players."

"If you lose one more player, the teams will have to be adjusted." 

The Mayor threw the ball towards Alucard, who caught it with both hands.

Then, the Bloodsuckers' side of the court slowly shrunk.

Now, the players could accommodate Kuan's absence. 

Eyes of Knowledge looked disappointed, but Liam couldn't tell with who.

A second later, Reiner looked at Liam. "You want to swap places with Spirit of Nature?" he asked. 

There was a reason Reiner asked Liam and not the other powerhouses.

He seemed to have a decent level of skill with how the game worked. Just a tinge better than the rest.

Liam paused, then smiled. 

"Sure." 

Spirit of Nature gave Reiner a sour look, but didn't really protest. 

"Good luck, Reap," she said to Liam as they switched places. "I'll set it up for you. Don't fail." 

As usual, the Adjudicator said nothing. 

Alucard gave him a firm nod, then gave him the ball.

"Fhoooooo…"

Liam heaved a deep exhale and closed his eyes. 

Just for dramatic effect, of course. 

Transfiguration was slowly transforming his hands.

Little skin-colored tentacles, barely visible to the naked eye, were forming on the surface of his palms.

Then, those little tentacles grew hands!

It was a hand-ception! 

Liam hid a smirk.
