Chapter504
Chapter504 The applause that followed the Ancient Elephant Empire’s presentation lingered longer than anyone expected. It did not fade abruptly, nor did it swell into excitement. Instead, it softened gradually, like embers settling after a slow burning fire. Conversations resumed in hushed tones, many still digesting what they had just witnessed. Some cultures impressed. Others endured. The arena remained quiet when Prime Minister Ulgan stepped forward again. “The next presentation,” he announced evenly, “will be by the Sky Republic.” A subtle shift passed through the crowd.Unlike Apex or the Ancient Elephant Empire, the Sky Republic inspired neither raw excitement nor reverent curiosity. What they inspired instead was expectation cold, precise expectation. From their austere segment, the Sky Republic’s representatives stepped forward.There was no dramatic entrance.No sudden change in lighting.Instead, the stage illumination adjusted minutely, cooling in tone, sharpeni

Chapter503 The signal light above the arena pulsed once soft, unobtrusive. Prime Minister Ulgan’s voice followed, measured and formal. “The Cultural Exchange will now proceed. Presentations will follow the order determined earlier.” A low murmur rippled through the stands. The first nation called was not Victorium, nor the Ancient Elephant Empire.It was the Apex Federation. A brief pause followed the announcement.Then movement. From the western segment of the stage, Apex Federation’s representatives surged into action with unmistakable urgency. Where other empires had prepared with restraint, Apex arrived like a storm breaking loose. The lights shifted. Brighter. Warmer. Louder. Massive holographic projectors flared to life, sending radiant arcs of color sweeping across the arena ceiling. The sound system activated next deep bass reverberating through the stands, sharp beats layered with metallic rhythms that rattled seats and stirred hearts. The audience stirred i

Chapter502 The transformation of the arena did not end with the retreat of sand and the rise of polished platforms.It continued. Massive segmented sections unfolded smoothly from beneath the ground, spreading outward like petals of a mechanical flower. What had once been a battlefield of cracked earth and impact scars was now reshaped into a grand cultural stage wide, symmetrical, and deliberately neutral, designed to host expression rather than conflict. Soft ambient lighting replaced the harsh glare of combat illumination. The air itself felt different, lighter, calmer, as though the arena had exhaled after days of relentless violence. Around the stands, the audience gradually quieted. Not out of exhaustion, but anticipation. Everyone understood that the tone of the Convention had shifted. Strength had spoken. Now, identity would. Prime Minister Ulgan remained standing at the center of the arena floor for a few moments longer, allowing the transformation to fully com
Chapter501
Chapter501 The moment Rancord absorbed the full blessing of the Ancient Elephant Empire, the change was immediate. His presence expanded violently. The desert air trembled as a crushing pressure surged outward, rolling across the battlefield like an unstoppable tide. The ground beneath his feet cracked and sank, forming a shallow depression as his power stabilized at an unbelievable level.Every fighter on the field felt it. The Victorium Empire’s elites stiffened simultaneously. “This pressure…” Victor muttered, tightening his grip on his spear. Mariel’s eyes narrowed. “If he moves now....” “He’ll break through everything,” Collings warlords finished grimly. There was no hesitation. No discussion. Almost instinctively, the Victorium formation activated. One by one, Victorium’s fighters stopped engaging their opponents and redirected their focus inward. Martial energy surged through invisible channels, flowing away from individual battles and converging toward a si
Chapter500
Chapter500 The echoes of the previous battle had barely faded when Prime Minister Ulgan once again rose to his feet. The arena, which had just been filled with the roar of victory and defeat, gradually quieted. Even the restless murmurs of the audience slowed as everyone sensed what was coming next. Ulgan’s gaze swept across the vast desert field before he spoke. “The group matches of the second round approach their conclusion,” he announced. “The final battle, to determine first and second place, shall now begin.” A wave of anticipation rippled through the stands. “Victorium Empire,” Ulgan continued, “versus the Ancient Elephant Empire.” The reaction was immediate. Excitement surged like electricity through the arena. Many spectators leaned forward instinctively, eyes locked onto the empty field below. This was the match everyone had been waiting for not simply a clash of strength, but a confrontation between two empires that had proven themselves through resilience,

Chapter499 What had felt like only a brief pause between clashes soon gave way to another day of the Convention. The atmosphere across the Imperium shifted once again, excitement returning like a tide that could not be held back. By the time dawn fully settled, Serena and Christene had already completed their preparations for the Cultural Exchange. Their workspaces were orderly, every item accounted for, every detail refined. Though neither of them spoke much about it anymore, the quiet confidence in their expressions made it clear they were ready. As for Felix, he said little. Like the days before, he led the group toward the arena, calm and composed. The route was familiar now, yet the energy surrounding it felt different. This was no longer the uncertain opening of a grand event. this was its decisive middle, where reputations were cemented and failures became impossible to hide. The arena was already packed. People from every social stratum filled the seats: nobles
