Earth team ranking at the top was a common sight to everyone in the Colosseum. It would be shocking if it wasn't the leading one.
Even the ginormous Score of 52 Million Points didn't come as a shocker to the audience as they were used to the overwhelming performance of the Earth team.
So much so that many teams looked up to Atlantis team for scoring nearly one-tenth of Earth team's Score.
Among the five teams that won all four matches in their respective groups, the Falud team struck gold as it leapt straight from the 15th to the 6th position.
With every match a team wins, their Score would soar by half of their own and winning all four matches would bring a team's Score to five times the initial amount.
The Owlite team would have been in a higher position if they weren't in the same group as the Earth team.
The Tilephe team from Group-D and the Ragath team from Group-E also faced a similar situation. Since the allocation was entirely random, they could only blame their luck and wait for the 2nd Segment to rise in ranks.
Meanwhile, something unusual was taking place in the 35th Trial Region.
A huge army of monsters gathered in the vast shadow of the Tournament Island.
Among the 10000-strong army, one-tenth were at Tier-3 Low-Phase while the remaining were Tier-2 monsters.
There were no Tier-3 Mid Phase and High-Phase monsters present in the army lineup since they were all still locked up within the domes.
In contrast to their usual untamed behaviour, they all stood in an orderly fashion and barely made any noise.
Their line of sight stuck on the 6-meter tall abomination of a monster that stood ahead of the army frontline and patiently waited for its commands.
But the monster paid no heed to them and recalled the interaction it had a few days ago with a powerful Being.
Till Day-2 of the Trial Program, it was just another Tier-3 High-Phase monster stuck in a system dome.
During the Day-2 rest period, its consciousness was pulled into an unknown place, where darkness was embroidered with bright flames as far as the eye could see.
At the centre rested a kilometer tall magnificent throne, and on it rested a Being whose mere presence would even send the Overlords of the Universe a run for their money.
While the Plasma Predator was awestruck by the mountain of a Being in its vision, vague apparitions of numerous other monsters spawned all over the place.
The grand scale of nearly a million monsters was a sight to behold. But even if they combined couldn't hold a candle against the Gianormous Being on the throne.
The blood-red eyes, protruding teeth and the pair of fiery horns only made that Being more sinister than it already was.

The powerful being moved its mouth, and a booming hoarse voice filled the vast unknown space.
"I chose each of you for being the strongest in the respective Trial Region you were trapped in. I shall give you a chance to free yourself from the pitiful lives the System had thrown you all into, waiting to be hunted down by the Alpha Chosen."
Although the monsters there didn't know who the Powerful Being was, they didn't disagree with him.
After all, they once were at the top of the food chain in their native planets before being imprisoned by the System and transported to the Zephy Galactic Cluster Trial World as livestock to be the stepping stones for the Alpha Chosen.
No monster questioned his authority or the credibility of his words. Oddly, it was not because the other party was immensely strong but due to the strange impact his every word had over every fibre of their being.
It was as if those weren't mere words but holy commandments they were willing to lay down their life for.
Under the fanatical eyes of the numerous monsters, the Powerful Being used a massive fiery Saber to slit his own palm to extract blood just enough to be distributed into nearly a million drops.
By the time the slit on his palm healed, each blood droplet had streaked into every monster apparition and became one with them.
Before the monsters could realise what happened, the Powerful Being's voice once again reverberated in the vast space, "The opportunity I just granted would allow each of you to awaken the most compatible Fiend subsidiary Bloodline.
Once your consciousness returns to your bodies, the race evolution would take afoot, and by the end of it, each of you would at least have the power to match a Tier-4 Low-Phase Lifeform.
Some of you wouldn't have trouble being on par with those at Tier-4 Mid-Phase, and a lucky few might even awaken a powerful bloodline that wouldn't have trouble reaching the standard of a Tier-4 High-Phase.
Only those who made enough contribution will I reward by personally freeing them from the grasp of the Trial Program.
All you have to do is eliminate as many top-ranking Alpha Chosen as possible in your respective Trial Region during the first Tournament itself and nip them out before they have the chance to grow, especially the Omega Chosen of the Milkyway galaxy."
