Two men fought bravely in the colloseum, every clash of their trident causing violent explosions to rock the stage.
Dyvan slammed his legs on the battle stage shooting forward towards his opponent as he pierced his trident towards his neck.
The man tried to dodge by countering with his own trident but his face changed as his trident broke from the force while he himself was directly sent flying.
Slamming his back in the hard walls, green blood sipped out of his mouth, but his face changed In the next second.
Dyvan seeing his opponent sent flying, didn't follow up but gathered all his strength before flinging his trident towards him.
"RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP"
The water was ripped apart as circular waves erupted around the trident due its speed. It sharp throngs slammed the man on the wall digging him into it.
The man stood there wide-eyed as the trident's throngs nailed his forehead, mouth and heart. Life immediately left him, as his hand dropped to the side.
Dyvan walked towards his opponents as he dug his trident out of his head, his face filed with disdain and arrogance.
He didn't feel remorseful, no not at all, this was an easy death for rebels like them.
"Dyvan! Dyvan! Dyvan! Dyvan! Dyvan!Dyvan! Dyvan! Dyvan! Dyvan!"
He felt the entire world chanting his name as he raised up his three thronged spear to the sky and roared.

Zeras looked at the man, called Dyvan before taking his eyes away and looking at the dead man instead.
He confirmed the man was truly dead, as he wondered just what type of extremely brutal fight this is.
And the entire crowd seemed to want this as they chanted his name like he was an hero of sort.
Dyvan left the battle stage, the crowd also leaving soon. Zeras moved on with the crowd exiting the gigantic colloseum as he arrived outside the place.
In the streets, gugantuan sea beasts moved around in the waters, on their back, Atlanteans who rode them.
Beautiful multi-culoured light from pearls were stacked up and put around the entire place, acting as light source.
The place bustled with Atlanteans who swimed around the place, going to and fro for their daily needs.
Zeras was impressed by what he saw. It really was a different civilization all together as even though there was no sign of technology, it was still a beautiful place nonetheless.
Zeras wondered if there was night and day as everything was just lit so brightly. The Atlanteans home were triangular with a long tip, and the smallest was about 10 metres in height.
They walls were painted in colours of white and blue, and the doors were emerald green made of some type of jade-like rock.
He checked his body as he found out that scales also covered his arms and face.
No wonder, as if he was a human here, then he would have easily stuck out like a sore thumb.
He tried to move up, but he found it a little strange. The Atlanteans are not exactly walking, they are like levitating and strangely moving forward. That was why their movement is extremely fast, twice faster than a grown man running.
He also moved up, but it was difficult moving forward making Zeras spend some time observing how they're moving. He watched a carriage dragged by a dolphin shaped fish pass by him, making him clung to the it's end as he used that to slowly learn to swim.
It was like trying to learn to skate with those tire shoes.
After about five minutes, he finally got the hang of it as he left the carriage and moved on his own.
The Atlanteans around him looked at him strangely due to that. But Zeras ignored them, it wasn't like they could understand.
"System?..." Zeras muttered as he walked around with no particular sense of direction.
[Yes, Host.]
"Oh, you're still there." He was a little shocked by that. It seems the system was able to even follow him through the trial.
As if being able to listen to thoughts:
[The system is bonded directly to the host's soul so it's impossible for the system to leave Host unless host's soul gets separated out, an assumption only meaning host's death.]
"So I'm like stuck with you till I die, huh?"
[It is more of the system being stuck with host.]
"Tch, damn system..."Zeras muttered as he ignored the AI smart cursing.
"So system, where are we?"
[Host is present in an extremely advanced holographic dimension. Whatever lies in this dimension is unreal.
That means even though, Host can kill a character in this hologram, Using Chaos Devourer on them won't work because they are essentially just holographs.
Host need not bother about the complexity of the surroundings and should instead work on quickly completing the trial which means automatic exit from this holographic dimension.
It would only hurt Host due to his low intelligence.]
"Tch, damn you system. Who have a low intelligence. If you were so smart, then become me." Zeras hissed as he ignored the system.
"Get out of the way, fool!" An angry voice said to Zeras as he rapidly moved out of the way.
A collosal octopus moved past him, no doubt crushing him if he had been there for even a second late.
"Tch, are the Atlanteans all so violent..." Zeras wondered but continued on when he suddenly saw a poster on the other side of the structure just across.
And written on top of it where four words which drew Zeras's interest.
The Atlantis King Battle Competition.
