Chapter 337: Chapter337-A Ranking Packed with Monsters
"I never expected that even with my strength, I would barely rank tenth."
"The powerhouses gathered this time must be the greatest geniuses of the past ten epochs!"
"Every single person who entered the top ten is undoubtedly a once-in-a-million-years genius from their respective universe!"
Alvin was utterly shaken.
After all, he came from Evernight Palace, a faction renowned throughout the myriad universes.
Among the younger generation of Evernight Palace, Alvin possessed the greatest talent and potential.
Countless opponents of the same level had been effortlessly slain and trampled beneath his feet.
He had even crossed realms and personally killed two God King-level opponents.
At present, Alvin was already one of the leading figures of Evernight Palace’s younger generation.
Evernight Palace had poured half of all its core resources reserved for the younger generation into him alone.
"And yet, even under these circumstances, I can only rank tenth?"
Alvin could not help deeply questioning himself.
However, another figure soon appeared in his mind.
"I wonder where that fellow Kelvin is ranked."
Alvin’s eyes flickered as he repeatedly scanned the rankings, hoping to find some trace of Kelvin.
Besides Alvin, Evernight Palace possessed another genius who had received the remaining half of its core resources.
Kelvin.
The two of them were jointly known as the Twin Prodigies of Evernight Palace. Almost no one else within the faction could be compared with them.
Beyond Evernight Palace, the other super factions also possessed exceptional geniuses.
There were Soren and Cedric of the Shadow Divine Court.
The strength of those two was no weaker than Alvin’s or Kelvin’s.
"I wonder where those two are ranked."
As his thoughts shifted, Alvin noticed the result displayed in first place.
His pupils contracted again.
"The first-ranked participant has already reached the seventh stage..."
"And the recorded time is only 0.8 seconds!"
Confusion and astonishment surged through him.
"Which faction produced this monster occupying first place?"
...
Elsewhere within the trial space—
Kelvin opened the rankings, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
"How is this possible?"
"I’m only ranked eighth?"
"What kinds of monsters are the people ahead of me?"
"Every single one is more abnormal than the last!"
"Impossible. This is absolutely impossible!"
As another of Evernight Palace’s foremost prodigies, Kelvin possessed abundant resources and knew many pieces of confidential information.
According to his own calculations, he should have been able to enter at least the top three.
Yet the harsh reality before him was completely different from what he had imagined.
"There are actually seven people stronger than me!"
Kelvin felt deeply resentful.
He could not accept such an enormous gap.
Sensing that his divine heart had begun to waver, Kelvin hurriedly reassured himself.
"No. This is merely a trial."
"True combat strength cannot be fully reflected by these rankings."
"However..."
Kelvin’s gaze settled upon the first-place result.
"For that person to create such an enormous gap between himself and everyone below him, his strength must unquestionably surpass all of ours!"
Kelvin searched through every prominent figure he knew, yet failed to identify anyone who matched the results.
A puzzled expression appeared on his face.
"Could a peerless dark horse have appeared in this Myriad Worlds Tournament?"
Someone with such terrifying strength should never have been an unknown figure.
Who exactly was this person?
...
At the same time—
Soren of the Shadow Divine Court also saw his position.
Disbelief covered his face.
"How can this be?"
"I’m only ranked ninth!"
"There are this many powerhouses on the rankings?"
Before entering the trials, Soren had never regarded anyone else as worthy of his attention.
However, after clearing several stages and still remaining near the bottom of the top ten, he was thoroughly convinced.
Only now did he realize the difference between himself and the universe’s true geniuses.
Those occupying the highest positions could no longer be described as ordinary prodigies.
They were a group of monsters!
"To stand out among all these monsters and create such a massive lead..."
"Who could the first-ranked participant possibly be?"
Soren’s attention was similarly drawn toward the result at the top.
"To establish such an enormous gap, it could only be Shirok of Eternal Summit, Cedric of my Shadow Divine Court, or perhaps Morris of the Demon King Council."
One figure after another appeared in his mind.
However, none seemed to perfectly fit.
In the end, he could only shake his head.
...
"I’m... seventh?"
Morris stared at his position, so shocked that even the muscles in his face trembled.
"There are six people ahead of me!"
"How can this be?"
Morris gritted his teeth, his face filled with unwillingness.
"With my strength, how could I rank this low?"
"What kinds of monsters are those six people above me?"
"Especially the one in first place. How can he create such an enormous gap between himself and the rest of us?"
"Are we certain he isn’t cheating?"
"Who exactly is this person?"
"Could it be Shirok? Cedric? Or some other mysterious powerhouse?"
Like the others before him, Morris had been shocked to the point of questioning his entire life.
At that moment, he completely cast aside the pride and arrogance he had possessed before the tournament.
Only now did he finally understand just how extraordinary the participants in this Myriad Worlds Tournament truly were.
...
While the prodigies of the various supreme factions were being shaken by the rankings, more and more people began paying attention to the mysterious participant occupying first place.
They had personally experienced several stages and naturally understood that the farther one progressed, the more difficult the trials became.
As a result, the time required to clear each stage should naturally increase.
Yet the first-ranked participant was doing the exact opposite.
His completion time was becoming shorter!
This caused the gap between first place and everyone else to grow increasingly enormous.
...
The sixth stage.
John looked at the Ninth-Order God King standing before him without even bothering to activate many High God-level abilities.
"Annihilate!"
He used only one of The Eight Divine Arts.
In an instant, the Ninth-Order God King was completely erased.
Completion time—
0.5 seconds!
If this result were made public, it would probably terrify an enormous number of powerhouses at the same level.
[Ding! Congratulations! You have killed a Ninth-Order God King-level powerhouse!]
[Obtained 1,038,831,820 EXP, 193,928,348,124 gold coins, and 10,381,294,319,241 Fame!]
[You have plundered 1,038,129,038,481 High God Source!]
[You have plundered God King-level items ×102!]
[You have obtained additional God King-level items ×103!]
[Ding! Congratulations! You have completed the sixth stage!]
[Stage Evaluation: Perfect!]
[Current Ranking: 1st!]
[Please maintain your current position. The higher your ranking, the more generous your rewards will be!]
[Notice: The seventh stage is currently being generated. A large number of powerful Ninth-Order God King-level enemies will appear. Please prepare yourself!]
[Obtained 103,083,828,909 cubic units of Originstone from this stage!]
...
"Not bad."
John glanced at the rankings and discovered that many participants had not even cleared the sixth stage.
By the time they emerged, the gap between them would likely have widened even further.
Meanwhile, John would soon enter the seventh stage.
For him, once he had familiarized himself with the techniques and weaknesses of God King-level opponents, they were no different from High Gods.
First place would unquestionably belong to him.
