Chapter 156: Sycarion Voss Ithrael The first battle of the 2nd phase was between Ethan and the boy from the snake-human race who also got number 1 as his token. Ethan calmly stood at the center of the arena. His hands were behind his back. Soon the boy from the snake-human race entered. His upper body was that of a human but his lower body was of a snake. He bowed to Ethan as soon as he entered. "Young Supreme of the human race, I know I am not a match for you, but I want to try. I’ll attack you with my strongest attack. If you can block it, I’ll admit defeat." Ethan nodded. This semi-snake boy had around 123 Earth-level power. Not bad at all. "Okay. Go ahead." The boy nodded and activated his racial skill. "Corrosive Tail." It was an attack where his tail would release a super powerful acid-like substance which had at least 3 times more power than his strength. The tail sweep was also powerful. So his opponent would first have to block his tail and then the acid, it was a lethal attack. Boom! He swept his tail. Ethan didn’t dodge. He barehandedly caught the tail. The energy swept in the surrounding area in a radiating manner. But Ethan was standing there with an acid tail in his hand like nothing happened. The corrosive acid couldn’t do any harm to him as the power gap was tremendous. Then he released the tail. The snake boy bowed, "I admit defeat." It was his bad luck that he was matched against Ethan in his very first match.Otherwise he might have passed some more phases. The audience started cheering loudly. But it was too hollow for Ethan, he really wanted some real fight. His Law of Fate gave him some hints that something was going to happen today, but what that would be, Ethan had no idea. He walked to the waiting box and started playing games again. Then some matches also finished one after another. No leader fought against each other. They didn’t know if it was totally coincidence or the higher-ups pulled some strings. Soon the 2nd phase also finished. 53 passed to the 3rd phase, but it was an odd number, so one needed to be decided winner automatically and the 52 would fight. Natasha was also defeated but Neo passed this phase. Again lottery was given to everyone and as expected, Ethan got the number one again and he was promoted to the 4th phase without a single fight. Even in this phase, no true powerhouse faced each other, but this time a dark horse was appeared. He defeated Lucifer from the Vampire race. The man was from a plant-like lifeform like Groot. He defeated Lucifer like an adult beating a child. Ethan was also surprised. "What the hell Groot is doing here?" He activated his Appraisal. [Name: Croot. Race: Plant. Realm: Planetary. Strength: 1400 Earth. Talent: All Plant Manipulation] This Croot had some decent stats, Ethan thought. The third phase was also finished without much fanfare. Now 26 entered the 4th phase. This time there was also Ethan. But Ethan needed to fight in this phase, another one would be promoted to the 5th phase automatically. The one who was promoted this was Neo. This dude sure had some luck otherwise he was not worthy to be able to reach until 5th phase with his power. This time Ethan’s opponent was a girl from a subordinate race of the Vampires. She had some death energy inside her. Ethan could feel that. Maybe she was a curse user or something. Sure enough, as soon as the battle started she started to chant strange language and Ethan felt a bug was trying to break his defense. Ethan snorted coldly and slapped that bug and turned it into meat paste. Blugh! The girl immediately coughed up blood and became sensless. The bug contained her soul imprint and Ethan just destroyed that curse with the Law of Karma. So it backlashed her instead. Ethan snorted coldly again. This girl just tried to curse him but the curse was not lethal so he didn’t kill her. All the winners were decided one after another. 13 people went to the next realm and one already went by default. The top 14 individuals of this generation was decided by then. This was all for today, the next phase would start tomorrow. So just when everyone was about to leave, a cataclysmic aura enveloped the entire planet. The pressure was so horrifying that everyone immediately fell on their knees, even the Galactic Overlords who were working as the guardians of this tournament and Universe realm powerhouses who were the judges also knelt down. This aura was something far surpassed anything they had even ever imagined. This aura even surpassed the Universe Supremes themselves. "Kekekekeke, all the destined ones seem to be gathered here today." A man in a gray robe slowly came out from the space. Ethan immediately used his Appraisal on him. [Name: Sycarion Voss Ithrael Species: Slave of Chaos Realm: Tier 8 Talent: Body of Fate] So this was the man he was looking for. No wonder his Law of Fate gave him only hints but couldn’t tell what was exactly going to happen, as this dude possessed the Body of Fate. Of course, he was out of the concept of the Law of Fate of Ethan. Besides, he was a Tier 8 powerhouse who was even stronger than the Saints from the Universe of the World of the Ancients. Po told Ethan, "Boss, this is my former master. Looks like you were correct. He is really not in the Galactic Overlord realm." Ethan didn’t reply. He was not concerned about this man, but what he saw in his status bar. His species was called "Slave of Chaos," and Ethan had a bad feeling, a very very bad feeling about this term. Just when he was thinking what to do, several supremely powerful auras, though not as intense as this man’s, but close enough, came from all the directions. The Supremes had taken action. They left their thrones for the first time in 500 million years. There were 10 from the Celestial race, 7 from the Primordial Human race, 6 from the Vampire race, 5 from the Titan race, 5 from the Cosmic Behemoth race. In total, 33 Supremes of the universe had gathered together. But even so, their auras could not match this menacing aura this man was radiating.
