There Is a Certain Risk of Death!
The moment the members of Squad 10 appeared, they gave off an almost unreal feeling.
What a coincidence!
The five most famous players all got the same number, but the process of getting the ball just now happened in front of everyone, which makes people believe it was just a coincidence.
It must be said that the people in these four worlds are quite simple and honest.
They don't have many ulterior motives and completely trust everything they see.
Actually, there's something fishy going on here.
After all, what coincidence could possibly happen in this world?
The mastermind behind it all is Imu exists in another dimension of another world.
This 'First Myriad Worlds Battle Power Tournament' actually only has three people from Otherworld. If they were to completely scatter these people into different teams, it would seem too troublesome.
It would be better to gather all these people together. That way, he can watch the game in one place, save a lot of time, and the show would be more entertaining.
As for how his subordinates achieve the desired effect, that's not something he needs to worry about.
Imu only cares about the result.
In retrospect, the subordinates did a pretty good job; at least they did it to a level where no one could find fault with them.
Besides Team 10, there are also two rather special teams: Team 5 and Team 12.
Team 5 consisted of Benn Beckman, Yasopp, Horobi, Krieg, and Arlong, while Team 12 was entirely composed of the 'Demon Slayer Corps,' with members consisting of...
The Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka, the Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito, the Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku, the Wind Hashira Sanemi Shinazugawa, and the Serpent Hashira Iguro Obanai.
Compared to that, number 12 is the most outrageous.
What a coincidence that five people from the same world ended up together!
Some in the audience did raise objections, but they had no evidence and could only mutter a few words. The key point is that this type of competition is something that people in any part of the world have never seen before.
Therefore, even though the various oversight mechanisms are far from perfect, most people are still unable to extricate themselves from the novelty.
And just as Imu thought, such a 'coincidental' team is already quite interesting even before the match starts.
As for the feelings of the other participants...
Who cares?
On the deck, Muzan Kibutsuji glanced at the four teammates who had come over, feeling utterly speechless. No matter how you looked at it, he was the strongest in the team.
How so?
He wants to be protected, not to protect others!
Tengen Uzui's gaze towards Muzan Kibutsuji was also complex. This was the 'Progenitor of Demons' whom he had previously been determined to kill, and now he was an ally in another world?
If there really were a god who controls fate, wouldn't that be too much of a mockery of ourselves?
To be honest.
Seeing Muzan Kibutsuji's seemingly harmless smile, his palms itched, and he could only suppress the urge to draw his Explosive Nichirin Blade at him.
"Calm down, I'm not a ghost anymore, remember that~"
Muzan Kibutsuji saw through his inner thoughts but didn't care at all. In his view, this 'Sound Hashira' simply didn't yet understand what he was about to do.
After all, Kyojuro Rengoku and Sanemi Shinazugawa certainly hadn't had a chance to tell each other what had happened before.
In other words, he sees Tengen Uzui as his future capable subordinate, so he is naturally not annoyed by Uzui Tengen's current 'ignorant' behavior.
"I am Morgan William, a native of the East Blue of Sea Star, and a Muzan -Logia Steam-Steam Devil Fruit User. It is an honor to meet Researcher Muzan here. Please take care of me."
At this moment, William smiled and greeted Muzan, then glanced at Tengen Uzui, Biba Amatori, and Levi Ackerman with friendly eyes.
Hello, friends from different worlds.
"Hello, I am Biba Amatori from CIPHER POL-8, from the 'Kabane World' of Star Gate 2."
Unlike Biba Amatori Horobi Ancestral World Hozumi to avoid using the word "Kabane."
In his view, there was nothing wrong with mentioning it. It was quite appropriate for the World Government to use 'Kabane' as the code name for the world from which it originated, since 'Kabane' was the only distinctive feature of that world.
As for those who claim to be members of 'CP-8', it's because 'CP-9' is a secret team according to regulations, so they can only say they are 'CP-8' to the outside world.
In an instant.
In the five-person team, Muzan Kibutsuji, Morgan William, Biba Amatori exchanged pleasantries and conversations with smiles on their faces, while Tengen Uzui and Levi Ackerman stood silently to the side with expressionless faces.
In fact, Tengen Uzui is also a 'social thug'. If it weren't for Muzan Kibutsuji, he would probably have the loudest voice right now.
Levi was too lazy to talk to them, and instead squinted to observe the composition of the other squads, especially Squad 5 and Squad 12.
Other groups worth noting are those that include Fish-Man Race, Mink Tribe, or Haki warriors.
Levi was certainly aware of the concept of "Haki."
However, he had only been a member of the World Government for a short time, and had only taken the 'Cell Enhancement Serum' for a short time, so he only had time to master the 'Wind Breathing Technique' and its accompanying Swordsmanship.
But he is not intimidated by those who are Haki.
He already knew the specific functions of Armament Haki and Observation Haki, so he had his own way of dealing with them when the time came.
In Levi's opinion, Observation Haki is more troublesome than Armament Haki.
The latter merely grants a Formless layer of armor; one can simply slash a few more times with dual swords—it's not without its drawbacks. On the contrary, the ability of Observation Haki to sense presence and predict actions is extremely troublesome.
Half an hour later.
After a long wait by countless spectators, the steel cruise ship, escorted by four Marine warship, finally arrived at the waters near the so-called 'Ice-Fire Island'.
Wow!
"W-what is this?!"
"This is incredible! It's like a scene from a myth unfolding before our eyes! This is Sea Star! This is the World Government?!"
In the air, two Air Force Flying Warship were using Visual Den Den Mushi to film the entire environment of 'Ice-Fire Island' to viewers in four worlds, which aroused many people's exclamations and sighs.
On virtual screens of all sizes around the world, a landscape appeared that was half Iceburg and snowfields, half volcanic wasteland, with a circular lake in the center.
Besides.
At each end, there is an ice castle and a Black Stone Castle. Then, in front, the road splits into three main roads. Every few kilometers along each main road, there is a turret that is more than ten meters high. There are three turrets in total.
That is
The main road was lined with dense forests, but the trees on the snowy side were covered with snow, while the trees on the scorched side were all withered.
A cold wind howled on one side, while a heat wave surged on the other.
"Attention all participants, we have arrived at the semi-final venue, 'Ice-Fire Island.' I will now give a final introduction to the competition rules. Please listen carefully."
"Due to the excessive number of casualties in the previous 'preliminary rounds,' the World Government has specifically added two new regulations."
"First, during this semi-final, you must not intentionally kill your opponent. You should only incapacitate them, such as by causing disability or unconsciousness. If necessary, protective personnel will intervene to stop a fatal attack. If the attacker is found to have acted maliciously, they may be disqualified from the competition."
"Second, if one side destroys all the cannons on the opponent's turrets first, they will also win. Note that these cannons will automatically attack the opponent's members, and there is a certain risk of death."
