Supreme Origin: Time King

Chapter 114: III: Mirrored Plane and a Haughty Duck

On the first day of the B region selection. The four recommended participants and a hundred challengers gathered in the Citadel's Dimensional Stadium.

The Citadel's Dimensional Battleground or Citadel's mirrored plane is an alternate plane that is formed by the power of three Immortal Lords and when it is created it looks like a copy of the physical plane.

It's for the purpose of organizing disputes, sports competition, the selection for people who want to go to the region, elections and even wars, ensuring no damage will be done to the physical plane.

Other than the three recommended participants by the three plus the one recommended by the citadel's council itself, a hundred challengers were waiting for them together of a million people at the entrance to the dimensional battleground.

Everyone there was waiting for the four main participants to arrive as it was almost the time for the selection to begin. Because the A region was renowned for being the richest region in all of Peuh Star and also where it grew the most precious medicines and potions and because of this, the citadel decided to hold an preliminary selection where they would test those challengers, if they pass, they will have the chance of participating on the real tournament and selection, but all of this was completely optional for the recommended participants.

And one of the reasons for so many people wanting to go to the Region was the Burning Will potion, a low-tier 8th ranked potion brewed by a 8th realm alchemist. Drinking this potion would have no effect until its special effect was activated, then your whole body and spirit on fire and after seven days of pain, you would reborn and depending on your luck it is possible to leap from the first realm straight to the deadly will realm of from the mortal will to a mortal king, but not only the ingredients were extremely rare even if you managed to get your hands on this potion there was only 10% of chance to activate the special effect.

Thirty minutes after the others, the four recommended in this selection finally arrived.

The first to to appear was the recommendaded by Polaris City, Elijah walked towards the entrance wearing his favorite black shirt with his inner armor, his right arm also seemed a bit different as it was equiped with a shiny, silver bracelet with four red prime crystals attached.

Next was a youth who had sparkling tricolor eyes made of a combination emerald green, ruby red and sky blue. This youth also had an unusual red mark on his forehead, he was fair-skinned and his facial features were as beautiful as a girl. His name was Matti Morgwood, a member of the Solsek city's special forces.

The third made Elijah a bit stunned as he saw a duck of 3m with a pair of huge fire wings walking with his head hold high, full of pride and arrogance. Although it seemed a bit comical, this was one of the most haughty beasts, a fifth realm Firewing Duck. A rare magical beast species with the direct lineage of the Nirvana Duck, a real Divine beast. Until now this Duck was the one who gave Elijah the most dangerous feeling.

As the last was a "beautiful" young lady in a red dress or at least she was beautiful if you ignore her lizard head and only look at her body. Despite giving off the image of a weak female, the menacing deep purple scales on her forehead, hands and neck made people think the opposite.

She was recomedated to this selection by the citedel's council itself. She the member of the citadel's assassin unit and a peak fifth realm Thunderwind Lizard. the fastest magic beast in Peuh as it has the combination of three perfect affinities thunder, lightning and wind forming the thunderwind force which the force used to activate every single one of their techniques.

When everyone was there, four figures in colored robes and each one wearing different colors, black, white, navy and red.

These four were the supreme leader of the citadel council. Unable to see their faces, but from the shape of their bodies inside their robes, Elijah supposed at least two of them were female. The four figures raised their hands and the portal immediately expanded until it devoured everyone in the area.

"What is this? An enemy attack? No, everyone here seems to be used to this." Because of the action from the four leader of the council. Elijah raised his guard and quickly observed his surroundings only to see the others beside him were all calm like they had seen all of this before.

He then saw a huge stadium behind him, opponents and others recommended that competitors walk towards the stadium's main entrance. And without anything else to do, Elijah simply followed them.

'Wait, there is someone observing me.' Elijah sensed someone watching him from above and he instinctively looked at the sky only to see an owl flying randomly like it was trying to be undetected and fled away the moment it sensed Elijah's gaze.
