528: Chapter 576 The Realm Elimination Tournament Begins!

The Mercury State Race player who had identified An Ke's group explained the reasoning to the others present.

"The current territory belongs to the Blue Star Civilization. Anyone who can have a territory in this region must be a Human Civilization player."

The other Mercury State Race members nodded in agreement; it was indeed the case.

The final Elimination Round had just begun; how could players from other civilizations have already built a city in the Blue Star game territory?

"Should we make a move and take out the Blue Star Civilization players?"

A Mercury State Race player asked indifferently.

The other Mercury State Race members exchanged glances, and then another one spoke up:

"Actually, I don't think it's necessary. The Blue Star Civilization's comprehensive evaluation is only F.

There's a high probability we won't get any benefits from them. Attacking would only waste our time."

"Mm! I agree."

"..."

Most of the Mercury State Race members believed it was unnecessary to waste time on F-rank Blue Star Civilization players.

Their primary task now, before the "Elimination Round" officially started, was to scout the terrain of the Blue Star territory.

This would give them a certain advantage in the upcoming "Elimination Round."

Too many powerhouses had appeared in this "Elimination Round," including twelve civilizations with an S-rank comprehensive strength evaluation.

Their Mercury State Race was only C-rank.

In an "Elimination Round" crowded with experts, they were like small boats; a giant wave stirred up by the strong could easily capsize them.

Therefore, they had to seize every opportunity to create advantages for themselves.

Although the Blue Star Civilization was only F-rank, this was their home game territory.

After dying, they still had revival coins to resurrect.

To hunt down Human Players until their final deaths in the Blue Star territory would still require a fair amount of effort.

It was a thankless task and unnecessary.

That's right! A revival coin can only be used within one's own civilization's game territory.

Once you leave your own game territory, you only have one life; the revival coin cannot be used.

This was why the players from the Tar Civilization and Savage Civilization did not resurrect after being killed earlier.

As players who had completed ten stages of the National Fortune Game, they certainly had revival coins on them.

Having made their decision, the Mercury State Race members no longer hesitated and left the airspace without looking back, piloting surfboard-like flying machines.

Below.

Watching the departing figures of the Mercury State Race, An Ke's entire group was surprised.

"Ah? They're actually so sensible? Do they know they can't beat you, Master?" Little Roman tilted her head, having expected a battle to break out.

"The little guy in my palm says it was planning to have a feast; what a pity," Leopard Mom laughed.

An Ke raised an eyebrow and quickly said, "Leopard Mom, tell that little guy not to forget that it must have my permission before it can devour players."

"Mm! The little guy says it knows," Leopard Mom relayed. "It says that besides me, you are the person it's closest to."

An Ke had just communicated with the little guy in Leopard Mom's hand and saw its larval form.

Its body was pitch black, with no eyes or nose, only slippery, thick tentacles; the little guy was a Devouring Beast.

An Ke never expected that the system adding 200 Devouring Beast attribute points to Leopard Mom would actually manifest a creature for her.

However, the little guy could never leave Leopard Mom for its entire life, because it had to stay in the special space within the mouth in Leopard Mom's palm to survive.

If it left for too long, it would die.

So, in a sense, the little guy was Leopard Mom's ability.

"your esteemed father, shall we just let them leave?" Fungus Kuku asked in a low voice.

Like Tiger Mom and Leopard Mom, he was one of the more serious characters.

"Although the Elimination Round hasn't officially started yet, it's always a good thing to have one less competitor."

An Ke shook his head. "We're too close to their game territory."

"Once they find themselves outmatched, they'll definitely run back to their own game territory.

At that point, we'd have to kill them several times, or even a dozen times over."

An Ke had already learned from Little Roman and Fungus Kuku that revival coins could only be used within one's own civilization's game territory.

Fungus Kuku nodded. "your esteemed father's consideration is indeed thorough."

"So what do we do next?"

An Ke grinned. "Wait for the Elimination Round to officially begin, and at the same time, blockade the teleportation channel of those civilization players from just now."

"As soon as they return, we'll take them out directly.

Having a massive teleportation channel right outside our city—does that make any sense?"

The teleportation channels connecting civilizations never disappear unless all players of that civilization die and the civilization becomes extinct; only then will the teleportation channel vanish.

An Ke couldn't stand having a massive teleportation channel outside his city. To make it disappear, he naturally had to deal with the civilization players from before.

Inside the meeting room of the 99th Realm.

Many nobles who wanted to watch the show were inevitably disappointed to see the Mercury State Race leave.

They thought they would see a battle as soon as the civilizations connected.

Of course! Mainly because this battle involved many nobles; with bets placed, it naturally attracted attention.

Some observant nobles noticed something strange.

Previously, they thought An Ke was a subordinate of the Fungus Race or the Thousand Changes Race.

They didn't expect that wasn't the case.

From the conversation between An Ke and the others just now, the entire team was centered around An Ke.

Centering a team around a player from a civilization with a comprehensive strength evaluation of only F-rank was very strange...

The Azure Noble fell into silence.

Could it be that there was something special about An Ke?

To be honest, seeing nobles like Fama, Tike, and Dainike firmly believe in An Ke made him feel very uneasy, as if he had stepped into a trap.

But on second thought, no matter how special an F-rank civilization player was, how special could they be?

The Metal Civilization he favored was S-rank.

Thinking of this, the Azure Noble felt there was definitely no problem.

He just needed to wait silently to win all of Fama's resources.

...

Time ticked by, and finally, all 300 civilizations were connected to the Blue Star Civilization territory.

The Game Announcement also rang out, declaring the official start of the upcoming "Elimination Round."

[Connection of 300 civilizations complete. The 99th Realm Elimination Round begins!]

[This Elimination Round will take the form of a Capture the Flag match.]

[1,211 flags will randomly appear in every corner of the Blue Star Realm.]

[Obtaining a flag not only improves your civilization's ranking but also allows you to use the flag to summon exclusive soldiers.]

[Each flag can produce 100 exclusive soldiers per day. Soldiers can assist in battle and guard the flag in your possession.]

[Therefore, the more flags you have, the more you can improve both your ranking and your side's comprehensive combat power.]

In the game territory, all civilizations were listening intently to the announcement.
