The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

Chapter 522 – Let’s Start The Games (I)…

[Dimensional Gap]

"I am not going to lie… The things you have done to this place is very… breathtaking" Fleur complimented the green-haired former Devil King standing in front of her. Ajuka Beelezub graciously accepted the compliment with a huge smile on his face. 

Ajuka Beelzebub was a man of science… He wasn't arrogant, but he knew how to credit for things he have worked for and he wasn't shy about it, besides, this wasn't the first time he was being complimented for the arena he had created. 

"My Lady, unfortunately, I can't take all the credit. It would have been impossible without the assistance of both Serafall Leviathan and Diehauser Belial" Ajuka Beelzebub might have accepted the compliment, but like any other aristocrat, he knew that he shouldn't ignore the ones who were responsible for the Tournament.

The Rating Game Tournament was going to take place inside a massive arena created by Ajuka Beelzebub. Usually, Rating Games took place inside the Game Field. The Game Field is located inside a section of the Dimensional Gap, protected by a barrier. Naturally, the Original Field was also created by Ajuka Beelzebub.

So, he simply decided to modify and upgrade the existing Game Field, so that they could host the Rating Games Tournament. The Game Field was capable of providing a simulation of any environment or scenery for a game to take place in. Ajuka also needed to upgrade and expand the Game Field because according to Lady Hela, the venue needed to be Epic.

So, the sitting area for the spectators was also expanded drastically. Several Magical Screens were fitted near the spectator seats so that everyone can enjoy the games even if they are sitting very far from the Combat Zone. Serafall Leviathan suspected that there were chances of fights breaking out among the crowd and Diehauer seemed to completely agree with her.

At first, mainly five groups were going to participate in the Rating Games, but after Hela's visit to Asgard, the number of groups increased by one. So, they were going to have spectators and supporters from all six groups. Even though all those groups were under Lady Hela's rule, there was no love among these groups.

Obviously, the Cruch Faction, the Norse Faction, and the Youkai Faction thought that they weren't under Lady Hela's rule, but in reality, they were her subjects. They simply didn't know that, yet. Hela could always show them the error of their ways on a later date, so it was probably fine.

Now, back to the spectators viewing area. Allowing the supporters from all six Factions to sit together was the recipe for disaster. That is why Serafall Leviathan proposed to make separate spectator areas for each Faction separated by a barrier. Diehauser Belial instantly agreed with Serafall's suggestion and her suggestion was finalized for the spectators' area.

Then there was another problem… Except for th Devil Faction, the other Factions didn't know the ins and outs of the Rating Games. So, they also needed to explain everything before starting the Tournament. Just like the spectators, the participants were also being kept separate. They didn't want ant fights breaking out before the Tournament.

Reo and lovers obviously found themselves sitting in the VIP box along with the Leaders of the other Factions. This was the first time, Yasaka was meeting Hela face to face, and boy… Yasaka was basically shaking like a leaf in fear. Yasaka is a nine-tailed fox Youkai. Youkais are naturally very attuned to nature and intent, being a nine-tailed fox made simply magnified her connection with nature.

So, Yasaka could feel and see the true nature of Hela, she has met Yachiru Unohana before and she thought that Yachiru was the epitome of cruelty, brutality, and viciousness, but now Yasaka knew that Yachiru Unohana didn't hold a candle in front of Hela. The tall green-eyed woman had probably killed billions if not trillions.

Goddess Amaterasu has decided to accompany Yasaka and she was also maintaining her distance from Hela and Yachiru. Thankfully, Kunou was too young to become attuned ti nature like Yasaka, so she wasn't wary of them and she was also getting treats from Reo, which obviously helped. Kunou had rushed at Reo as soon as he has arrived along with his lovers.

Kunou remembered him as the kind uncle who gave her ice cream when she felt scared and afraid. The kind uncle and his lover have saved them from bad guys who wanted to harm them, so the kind uncle was already good in her books. She also knew Nemuri and Dora, who were also Reo's lovers. 

So, as soon as arrived in front of Reo to greet him and thank him again for saving them, she found herself being cooed and coddled by several beautiful women. Kunou desperately tried to escape, but her tormentors were way too strong. So, after a few minutes, Kunou found herself sitting on Reo's lap, eating ice cream. Once again, the kind uncle had saved her.

Yasaka kept throwing worried glances towards her daughter, but when she saw that her daughter was genuinely happy sitting on that man's lap, she couldn't find herself to complain anymore. Kunou never had a father figure in her life and Yasaka suspected that Kunou has started to see the Destroyer as her father figure…

All of a sudden everyone inside the VIP box became completely silent when a loud bang was heard throughout the whole arena. Even the spectator stands became completely silent as they wanted to know what was happening, but the ones who were present inside the VIP box already knew that it was about to start.

Moments later, several people started to pour inside the arena from six different gates. All of them stopped when all the groups arrived around the elevated platform at the center of the arena. The spectators roared in support of the ones who were representing their Factions. All the Magical Screens were activated, the screens in the spectators' area focused on their respective representatives.

Once again, another loud bang rang throughout the whole arena, making everyone silent. The picture was the Magical Screens were replaced, the Screens were focusing at the platform. A Teleportation Circle of Lucifuge Clan appeared on the platform and moments later, Grayfia Lucifuge appeared out of the Teleportation Circle.

"Good morning, ladies and gentleman. On behalf of Lady Hela, I welcome all of you to the Rating Games Tournament!!" Grayfia yelled, her voice was magically intensified so everyone clearly heard her words.

"Grayfia knows how to be dramatic" Reo deadpanned while looking towards Dora. The neon green pixie-haired girl simply looked away while whistling, but Reo couldn't blame the woman. At least, Dora has ended up teaching something useful to Grayfia. At least Grayfia wouldn't find herself out of depth while addressing such a large crowd.

Dora has simply given the silver-haired maid a few pointers on how to command the crowd. Dora has also shown her a few videos of consorts and stuff to give Grayfia a rough idea. Grayfia was obviously grateful for the help… This wasn't the first time Grayfia was given the responsibility of narrating the events but has never been able to command the crowd.

"Now, I know that all of you are very excited, but… I would ask all of you to be patient. Obviously, we Devils know how these Rating Games work, we are extremely familiar with them, but the other Factions present here are at a disadvantage…" Grayfia said looking around at the crowd. She was paying more attention to the other Factions and they were paying her rapt attention.

"So, I will be explaining the rules of Rating Games before anything else so that all of you could enjoy the Tournament. The Rating Games take the form of a strategic battle between two Kings and their Peerage members. Now, all you must be wondering how the representatives from the other Factions are going to participate when they don't have the Peerage System"

"Do not fret as Ajuka Beelzebub has come forward with a solution!" Grayfia declared dramatically and a wooden box appeared in her hands. She slowly opened the box, revealing the contents to everyone. The box was filled with Evil Pieces, but unlike the normal Evil Pieces, these Evil Pieces seemed to be made of glass.

"These are not normal Evil Pieces. These Evil Pieces were created with only the Tournament in mind. The Evil Pieces will function like any other normal Evil Pieces, but your Race won't change. Using these Evil Pieces, you would be able to assign positions to your group members and these Evil Pieces are also capable of the Promotion function"

"These Evil Pieces would also allow us to teleport the injured parties out of the Combat Zone. We have already given out these Evil Pieces to the representatives of each Faction other than the Devils. Now, let us move onto the next rules" Grayfia said as once again she looked around at the crowd. She wasn't going to say it out loud but she definitely loved all the attention…
