Free Web NovelChapter 627: Chapter 358: The Empire’s Response, the Strife Begins
At this moment, the arena quieted down, and below it, shadows gathered. Some were eager to make a move, while others hesitated, unable to act. Thor’s recent display indeed instilled some fear in them, making them momentarily lose the courage to step up. The fusion of two Domains, even though Thor had just broken through to the Divine Domain.
Ordinary Initial-tier Divine Domain already cannot compete with Thor.
Middle-tier Divine Domain has a chance.
But that is only a chance.
Not guaranteed.
Moreover, Thor has consistently shown such performance in three consecutive competitions.
Who can be sure that Thor’s strength is only as he currently shows?
What if he’s hiding more?
What if he’s not an Initial-tier Divine Domain, but a Middle-tier?
Or what if he’s not two-layered Domain, but a three-layered Domain?
Even if such a possibility isn’t large.
After all, if it were a Middle-tier, under the blessing of two-layered Domain, Thor wouldn’t just be aiming for the top fifty, but definitely have a place at least in the top eighty, without being at this end.
But what if?
They are in no mood to take such a risk.
After all, if they don’t choose Thor, they still have plenty of opportunities.
Faced with these thoughts.
At the moment, Thor hardly paid attention.
With battle after battle, especially fights against Divine Domains, his understanding of the Laws deepened.
Especially the recent battle with that shadow, where Thunder and Death intertwined, allowing him a vague new realization.
"Thunder, Death!"
A soft voice said, as strands of Power of Laws began to intertwine around him.
Meanwhile, time slowly ticked away, minute by minute.
In the end, no one stepped onto the arena again.
After some people tangled with their thoughts, they chose to leave.
In a blink, twelve hours had passed.
In these twelve hours, no fourth challenger appeared.
The crowd around Thor’s arena completely vanished.
"Competition over!"
"Assessment passed!"
"Congratulations, Thor Dressrosa, on making it to the top hundred."
"Data is being compiled, the next match is three days from now."
A cold female voice rang out.
On the arena, Thor opened his eyes.
"Hoo!"
He exhaled a breath of turbid air and shook his head.
Utilizing that realization, his Thunder Law was elevated again slightly, yet it was only a small bit, with a considerable distance from the next level.
He estimated it would require him to reach Middle-tier Divine Domain to possibly achieve this.
As thoughts flowed, Thor’s silhouette promptly disappeared from the arena.
Below.
Where Reine was.
Thor appeared.
"Sir!"
Seeing Thor appear, Reine spoke joyfully.
"Let’s go. This assessment is over, the next match is in three days."
"Let’s take a walk!"
Thor said.
"Yes!"
Reine responded respectfully.
The two then left the expansive white world.
"How is the Domain situation?"
"No major events happened, right?"
On the way, Thor seemed to think of something, then inquired of Reine.
Lately, the changes have been myriad, and despite having daily intelligence systems, Thor instinctively became a bit concerned about the Domain.
"Sir, there are no major issues at present."
"Just...!"
Reine nodded, but midway through speaking, he frowned slightly.
"What’s wrong?"
Seeing Reine’s expression, Thor was surprised.
His heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
"Sir, it’s not about the Domain!"
"It’s the Frost Moon Province. Just yesterday, Marquis sent a letter, saying three Count’s Clans were suddenly wiped out, which included a Count’s city. More than fifty thousand people disappeared into thin air, advising us to be cautious."
Reine shook his head, quickly speaking up.
"Three Count’s Clans."
"Fifty thousand people!"
Listening to Reine, Thor’s brow couldn’t help but jump.
Even though he had anticipated, he did not expect such a problem to emerge within the Tulip Kingdom.
Three Counts, this is not a small number.
And unlike other kingdoms.
The strength of the Three Northern Countries, especially in Tulip and Purple Gold Flower Kingdoms, is very strong.
Initially, the three Royal Families even exiled the Behemoth King.
Which is why Thor wasn’t too worried initially.
But now, the situation seems worse than he anticipated.
Frost Moon Province has such a big problem, the situation in other provinces can be imagined.
"How is the East Moon Province?"
Considering this, Thor couldn’t help but ask.
"East Moon Province!"
"No problems heard thus far."
Hearing Thor’s inquiry, Reine paused, then shook his head.
Listening to Reine and seeing his expression, Thor couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The East Moon Province, having not seen problems yet, suggests the situation isn’t overly dire.
After all, East Moon Province is where the Tulip Kingdom’s Royal Court is located. If problems arose, the real trouble would be massive.
"Alright, for the next period, have the Eagle Merchant Association people try to gather information on East Moon Province. If any news arrives, notify me through the academy immediately. Meanwhile, I’ll return as soon as possible."
Thor pondered for a moment, then spoke seriously.
"Yes!"
Reine responded respectfully, not daring any neglect.
Thor nodded slightly.
Then proceeded to discuss further matters with Reine.
Only then did they part ways.
Thor returned to the Elf Realm.
Reine also returned to Northern Province.
In the Elf Realm residence.
