Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

It was just a moment, but Blood God's situation was precarious.

...

Apart from the piercing music, the gladiator arena suddenly fell eerily silent.

The joint combat of the four experts produced an aura akin to a genuine fight to the death, spreading a chilling murderous intent that silenced the usually raucous spectators, leaving them inexplicably heart-pounded and mute.

Watching the Blood God struggle from the control room, a subordinate looked at the person in charge with some confusion, "Boss, was the sacrifice we chose for him too strong?"

Those three were selected sacrifices, crucial for the enactment of this ascension ritual; but, looking at how things were developing, the 'sacrifices' seemed capable of bringing down the 'main character'?

"So what if they are? What does it matter?" The person in charge retorted with an eerie smile, seemingly indifferent to the situation in the arena, "Only the blood warriors who fully embrace combat can become servants of the master! If they can't overcome this, then let them die!"

If one cannot face their inner self in battle and embrace the power that comes from bloodshed and slaughter, then they should die!

How can a sacrifice that lacks qualification compel the most fervent, purest desire for slaughter!

Blood God is neither the first nor will he be the last.

This arena was never simply for profit; it exists solely as a training ground for nurturing servants for the master!

...

"Roar!"

The warrior, who had maintained a calm and even cruel demeanor, suddenly erupted into a furious roar.

A deep crimson flashed through his eyes, and visually, his speed and strength increased dramatically in an instant.

The sudden burst caught the viper, engaged in direct combat, off guard, and its half-mechanical body was flung far away in an instant.

Quickly stabilizing his form with mechanical limbs, Viper immediately regained composure, eyeing the figure entangled by his teammate with wariness.

[He's become stronger...]

How is that possible?

Many had analyzed Blood God's abilities; without the Gene Optimization Solution, his displayed combat power had already reached the peak level of a normal human's physique.

The peak level of a normal human's physique should not be able to overpower the strength of mechanical limbs powered by internal energy sources!

Had he finally broken through the stubborn military officials and received the Gene Optimization Solution after coming back from a mission just the other day?

...

This is trouble!

"Don't hold back anymore!" Viper growled lowly at the old soldier who was still hesitating to strike.

"Understood!"

When someone is fated to die, it can't be yourself dying...

Graff's eyes took on a misty gray sheen—

Spiritual Energy talent.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The most basic level of Spiritual Energy talent.

If it wasn't for his advanced years and the fact that he was a natural human, the military would never let him leave... That's under the assumption that he had never used any of the military's resources for Spiritual Energy and genetics, otherwise, even in death, he would die within the military.

...

As an opponent, no one could better understand the intentions of their adversaries than Blood God.

It was just a gladiatorial match... Following the deep-seated prohibitions against harming natural humans implanted in his synthetic self, he never wished to harm any natural human without explicit military orders. Hence, even while training his abilities in this underground fight club, he never took any lives and refused to participate in death matches.

He would fight earnestly but never deal a fatal blow.

But now... the resolute killing intent of the three opponents was unmistakably evident.

They... did they really want to kill him?

The most primal urge to survive surged within, and a savage rage began to overwhelm his once-calm intellect.

It was just a match... just a match...

Why... Why!

The frenzied, sinister atmosphere that pervaded the arena seemed to invisibly penetrate his very marrow.

Rage surged wildly!

...

In the rest area, Bai E's eyelids twitched, feeling as if something tremendous had occurred before him—

Taking on three at once... That guy, did he really win?
