The Unpullable Holy Sword
The giant had crimson skin all over his body and wore armor made of black iron. His bare skin was covered with many black barbs, making him look extremely terrifying.
The giant that suddenly appeared in the cave behind the stage shocked everyone beyond belief. No one knew what species the giant was or which star system it came from.
However, there is no doubt that the giant is now imprisoned in that cave, and is completely safe from harm.
The giant's limbs were bound by iron chains, and a sword was stuck between its eyebrows.
"Target, undetectable, attribute unknown, combat strength unknown..."
Li Wei secretly activated his Eye of Perception, but couldn't see any of the information he wanted, and he believed the other reincarnators present were in the same boat. Li Wei then shifted his Detection to the sword, where he obtained a series of information.
"The Sealing Holy Sword, a divine artifact, possesses unparalleled power..."
Based on this information alone, Li Wei knew that the sword was definitely not simple.
Most people in the theater looked surprised, but many others didn't show any surprise, as if they had seen the giant before. Among these people was the Ghost King.
Li Wei thought for a moment, then stood up and slowly walked to the seating area of Ghost King Star. The reincarnators of Ghost King Star all looked at Li Wei with awe and quickly made way for him.
When the Ghost King saw Li Wei come to him, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Young brother, do you have some questions for me?"
As expected, old age brings wisdom. Although this Ghost King looks to be only in his early thirties, his true age is clearly much older than he appears.
Li Wei didn't beat around the bush and directly voiced his question. The Ghost King replied, "So that's what you're asking. Actually, this isn't my first time at the Pluto Island Grand Theater. You should have noticed that every time the Grand Theater opens, there are three shows. The first two are randomly selected, while the last one is a fixed show..."
Hearing this, Li Wei understood somewhat. So the giant in the cave was the third act of the show. He just didn't know why the host had put on this show.
Upon seeing the giant in the cave, the host couldn't help but tremble slightly, before regaining his composure, though a glint of shrewdness could still be seen in his eyes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the third act is still 'Sealing Holy Sword.' Whether you've been here before or are a newcomer this time, whoever can pull out that sword will receive a reward of 10 Hades Fruit... and the Holy Sword itself will also be theirs..."
As soon as he finished speaking, some of the first-time reincarnators exclaimed in surprise.
Ten Hades Fruit —what does that mean? If an A-rank Reincarnator possessed these ten Hades Fruits, they could immediately advance to S9 rank and become a powerful figure dominating their region. And that sword certainly didn't look ordinary either. Undoubtedly, this kind of power was simply too great, too great for anyone to refuse. Soon, the Reincarnators, realizing what was happening, stood up from their seats and surged forward like a tide.
Among the crowd, the brothers Greedy Wolf and Bright Wolf Ming Dong could be clearly seen. The three boys ran extremely fast, as if they were afraid that someone else would get there first.
Li Wei, however, did not move.
He glanced at the Ghost King beside him, who was equally composed, and roughly understood that most of the reincarnators who rushed down were newcomers who were here for the first time, while those like the Ghost King remained motionless, seemingly in no hurry at all.
"If I'm not mistaken, that sword shouldn't be so easy to pull out, right?" Li Wei asked in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, the Ghost King snorted coldly, "It's not that it's difficult, it's that I simply can't pull it out. I've tried three times, but without exception, it all ended in failure. This time, I've advanced to S9, so this should be my last chance..."
There was a hint of helplessness in his voice.
Later, Li Wei learned that only reincarnators with combat power below S9 level could enter this Grand Theater. Once someone reached S9 level, they would no longer be able to enter.
Therefore, the Ghost King knew that this was his last chance to draw that sword.
At Pluto King's level, the Hades Fruit is no longer that important. However, since his disciples and subordinates have not reached S9 level, 10 Hades Fruit are enough to attract the attention of the Ghost King.
Looking back at the stage, the group of reincarnators had already rushed onto the stage, but with the host present, no one dared to act rashly. So those who arrived first began to line up, while those who ran slower lined up at the back.
The first to attempt to enter the cave was a 'Leopard Star' reincarnator; they were the fastest runners, so they took the lead.
He entered the cave with a smug look on his face, stretched his arms vigorously, then walked to the high platform and reached out to grasp the hilt of the sword.
"Hmph, a mere S3 level, trying to pull out the sealed sword? That's wishful thinking!" The Ghost King let out a disdainful laugh.
Sure enough, no matter how hard the Leopard Star tried, the sword hilt remained unmoved. Eventually, the Leopard Star alien's face turned red, his muscles bulged, and he even shouted in a completely uncouth manner, but no matter what tricks he tried, the sword did not budge an inch.
After trying for more than ten minutes, the Leopard Star Reincarnator retreated dejectedly, while the second-place finisher rushed forward excitedly.
The second one was none other than Greedy Wolf. In order to grab a good position, he actually went straight into Werewolf form. Relying on his Werewolf form, he was the second to rush onto the stage.
Greedy Wolf chuckled, as if the 10 Hades Fruit were already his. Without canceling his Werewolf form, he walked up to the platform and gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands.
"Come out!" Greedy Wolf roared, straining his arms as if trying to pull the sword hilt out in one go. But his fate was the same as the previous Leopard Star reincarnator; no matter how hard he tried, the sword hilt was as firmly attached to him as a stubborn rock.
A moment later, Greedy Wolf plopped down on the ground, panting heavily, his initial high spirits completely gone. Clearly, the ten Hades Fruit far from his grasp.
The failures of the first two people immediately caught the attention of the others. But no matter what, they had to try. If they could pull it out, they would undoubtedly have gained something; even if they couldn't, they wouldn't have lost anything.
So, one after another, other reincarnators went up to try, but without exception, they all failed. The host, who was watching all this, also had a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
By this time, all the reincarnators who had gone up on stage had tried once, but none of them had succeeded.
"Is there anyone else willing to try?" The host's voice echoed in the theater. At this moment, those reincarnators who had been conserving their energy, just like the Ghost King, stood up one by one and walked downstairs.
