Chapter 2734 The time to test your anime viewing experience has arrived! (Two chapters combined)
Finally, the three-dimensional number above the center of the stadium jumped from '1' back to zero.
In an instant.
It was accompanied by a low-frequency hum that made the air vibrate.
The enormous, glowing number instantly disintegrated into countless stardust fragments.
It then quickly reassembled into a line of large, white, illuminated text.
It hovered above the heads of hundreds of thousands of spectators.
[Opening Ceremony of the Third World Government's Top 100 Battle Power Competition - Final Top 100 Ranking Tournament]
next moment.
With a dense and sharp whistling sound.
Various colored lights shot out from all parts of the venue toward the open sky.
When they reach the designated altitude, they first burst and spread like fireworks.
Then, as if frozen by an invisible paintbrush, it was captured on the sunset.
That was a masterpiece of magic.
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple flames intertwine.
Finally, they converged in the sky above Duel City, forming a pattern that covered the entire arena.
The symbol of the world government: the five-pointed cross.
The dazzling light illuminated the entire venue as if it were daytime.
Even the clouds seemed to be tinged with a sacred golden-red.
Ten seconds later, the pattern disappeared, and countless lights in the venue lit up simultaneously.
A deep, tranquil, technologically advanced, and magical blue sea of light swept across every corner of the audience.
"Distinguished guests, and viewers from different worlds watching on screen, good evening!"
A melodious female voice that is elegant, intellectual, and highly penetrating.
The melodious music resonated clearly in everyone's ears.
Then a blonde beauty in a white fitted dress came into everyone's view.
He is the host of the World News Broadcast, which airs promptly at 7 p.m. every night.
Stella is known to almost everyone under the World Government.
Her eyes and smile were still so gentle.
"Roar----"
Before the audience could even cheer for Stella's appearance...
A deafening dragon's roar came from above.
A male fire dragon covered in crimson scales was seen spiraling down in the strong wind.
On the ferocious dragon's back stood a figure dressed in gladiator-style armor and wearing a red-tasseled helmet.
"And don't forget me, the most passionate commentator!"
"Gaz!"
Gaz, microphone in hand, roared with passionate energy.
The fire dragon beneath him cooperated by spewing out a scorching breath.
It completely ignited the atmosphere at the scene.
Next, the two, one quiet and one lively, one elegant and one boisterous, took control of the entire atmosphere.
Stella nodded slightly, her voice becoming solemn and dignified.
"At this exciting moment, we want to thank the World Government for creating and maintaining all of this!"
"Please all stand up!"
This short sentence seems to possess some kind of irresistible magic.
Audiences who have experienced the previous two competitions already have experience.
Those audience members who were there for the first time were also moved by the solemn atmosphere.
[Splashing sound]
The sound of hundreds of thousands of people standing up at the same time surged like a tidal wave.
The once bustling venue became so quiet you could hear a pin drop within seconds.
【boom! 】
Just then, a deep, heavy thud came from below.
Everyone's attention was instinctively drawn to it.
The metal gates on the east and west sides of the venue slowly opened to the sides.
A group of young figures emerged first from the west.
When you see what they look like.
Both the audience at the scene and those watching on screen were momentarily stunned.
They were clearly a group of children, a group of children of different races.
A Lunaria girl with black wings on her back.
A Komainu boy whose hair turns into flames.
Long-armed boys and long-legged girls.
There are also the snake-headed tribe with slender necks and the vampires with scarlet eyes.
High elves with long, pointed ears and fair skin, and dark elves with grayish-black skin.
Looking around, you can see humans, fish-men, mermaids, dwarves, bakcanians, centaurs, and war rabbits—you name it.
It's simply a vivid picture of children from all walks of life.
Among them are giant children dressed in traditional Elbaf attire.
To ensure visual harmony, his size has obviously been reduced.
And on his shoulder stood a tiny human child, no bigger than the palm of his hand.
Together they held up the edge of the World Government flag embroidered with a five-pointed cross.
The children looked solemn, suppressing their excitement.
Although their steps were slightly hurried, they exuded a vibrant energy.
at the same time.
Two distinct lines of people emerged from the east gate.
The five men on the left are dressed in sharp black suits, shiny black leather boots, and jet-black coats of justice draped over their shoulders.
They are majors from the Army Headquarters.
The five men on the right are dressed in pristine white suits, wearing spotless white leather boots, and draped in white coats symbolizing naval justice.
They are naval lieutenants from the Navy Headquarters.
One black and one white, like the alternation of day and night, like the coexistence of yin and yang.
They all wore pristine white ceremonial gloves, their faces stern, their eyes piercing, and they marched with mechanical precision toward the children holding flags.
Under the gaze of millions of eyes, amidst solemn and grand ceremonial music.
Children from various ethnic groups solemnly handed their flags to ten majors.
This scene is highly symbolic.
The hope for the future entrusts justice to the power of the present.
The forces now will protect this hope in the name of justice.
After the handover is completed.
Ten majors from the Army and Navy, holding the edge of the flag with one hand, turned to face the towering flagpole in the center of the stadium.
【Boom! 】
The first step has been taken.
【Boom! 】
The second step is to land.
[Thump! Thump! Thump!]
That was the sound of military boots hitting the ground.
Neat and uniform, with a powerful and resounding rhythm.
Each step of the marching footsteps seemed to land on the hearts of everyone present, producing a dull echo.
The voice wasn't fast, but it carried an indescribable sense of pressure and discipline.
The venue, which had been slightly noisy, fell into complete silence.
Whether it's the audience in the seats on each floor.
Still suspended in mid-air, sitting on the windstone seat.
Or perhaps they are powerful and influential figures residing in the VIP box.
At this moment, everyone subconsciously held their breath and watched silently.
Looking at those ten tall, distinct black and white figures.
These people's eyes revealed a deep sense of awe or fear.
Gods, Buddhas, immortals, saints, demons, ghosts, and monsters.
The mere mention of "world government" can create a sense of pressure for anyone.
When the ten majors arrived at the flagpole, they deftly hung the flag on the flagpole.
Stella's powerful and melodious voice resounded throughout the venue once again.
"From this moment forward, let us raise the banner of justice and sing the song of the world!"
The voice just fell.
A melodious, deep tune, as if from the depths of the ocean, slowly rose into the air.
This melody then travels through countless screens of all sizes and in different forms.
Transmitted across time and space to countless planets in various universes.
Even breaking through the barriers of dimensions.
It lingered in the ears of beings from many dimensions, including the underworld, the Buddhist realm, heaven, the spirit world, and the abyss demon realm (formerly the underworld).
This melody was both unfamiliar and grand to the 'heroes' and 'Gintama' world who had just joined the World Government, as well as to the people under the rule of the Kingdom of Deviluke.
But for the native starfish and the world's inhabitants who have been members of the World Government for many years, the memories are still vivid.
There is absolutely no need for guidance or command.
The moment the first note is played.
The event was attended by starfish people from various locations, as well as members of the World Government.
They opened their mouths in unison and sang loudly, following the lyrics that floated in mid-air.
"The ocean is watching the beginning of this world."
At first, the singing was just scattered here and there, like a gentle rain nourishing the earth.
"Even the ocean knows the end of this world."
Immediately, the sounds gradually resonated, like streams flowing into rivers.
"Therefore, we are invited to embark on the path we should be on."
Therefore, the direction it points to is correct.
This moment.
These are ethnic groups that have experienced various conflicts and have had little communication for many years due to estrangement.
At this moment, we naturally set aside our prejudices against each other.
They faced the same direction and sang loudly their own version of "The Guidance of the Sea".
Using the same language and the same melody, they converged into a torrent of sound that swept across the entire venue.
Its song pierced through the clouds, swept across the sea, and seeped into the earth.
It was as if the entire planet was enveloped within it.
This is one of the achievements of the world government's decade of development.
Im, far away on Noah's Ark, witnessed this scene.
Although he maintained a calm and composed expression, he was already filled with joy and pride.
He had read a lot of online novels before he transmigrated.
But no protagonist has ever changed the world government to such an extent.
Inside the Rainbow Cloud Box of the King of Cheetos.
Saitama stared blankly at the incredibly moving chorus.
He could clearly feel the heartfelt support people had for the world government in the song.
"Wow--"
Coming to his senses, Saitama looked at Genos beside him and smiled, "This song sounds pretty catchy."
Genos nodded seriously: "Yes, teacher."
"This is a manifestation of an extremely high degree of civilizational cohesion."
"The world government's ability to govern is indeed unfathomable."
"Tch, so-so."
"Compared to our grand celebration on Debiruk, this is only slightly... slightly more interesting."
Sitting on the sofa, Little Qiduo crossed his arms and snorted coldly.
But a deep sense of seriousness flashed in his eyes.
As the overlord who rules over two galaxies.
He knew better than anyone how difficult it was to unite so many people from different worlds and different races.
Anyway, the Kingdom of Debiluk has not achieved that yet.
Rebellions even occur almost every so often.
Perhaps this is the difference between taking a steady and methodical approach and forcibly pushing forward.
That's why Im can do many of the same things, and even do them faster.
But he insisted on letting the world government develop on its own at a gradual pace.
Even if the process may take a hundred years or even a thousand years.
Lala, however, had no psychological burden related to her father.
She sat next to Uta, humming excitedly along to the melody, the tip of her demon tail swaying happily.
"It sounds great!"
"This song sounds pretty good, Nana, Mengmeng, let's learn it together!"
at the same time.
Yuno, who was in the players' lounge, listened to the singing coming from outside.
A flicker of emotion crossed that usually calm face.
Even Sylph, the usually talkative 'wind sprite' who was flying beside him, fell silent at this moment.
In the other lounge, Asta was bursting with excitement.
With her eyes sparkling, she shouted, "Amazing! Amazing! I want to sing too! I want to join in!"
"Little devil" Libe, perched on his shoulders, grumbled impatiently, "Shut up, what's so exciting about this?"
"Don't forget, our goal in participating in this competition is to make it into the top ten and wish to revive our mothers, not to sing!"
Now let's look at Sesshomaru's side.
He still maintained that aloof and noble demeanor.
He sat cross-legged in mid-air, closing his eyes to rest, as if the noise of the outside world had nothing to do with him.
Besides.
Nurarihyon, Nagato Uzumaki, Bang, Patri, Sasori, Kamikaze, Chogokin Darkshine, Kakuzu, Tina, Laco, Daz, Hagoromo Gitsune, and many other wrestlers who made it into the main tournament.
Each person listened silently to the song, their own feelings and expressions mirroring the others.
But their fighting spirit only grew stronger.
Kazunoshima, the City of Flowers.
Kabukicho, which was entirely 'moved' from Gintama.
In front of the television at the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop).
Sakata Gintoki sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a half-finished bottle of strawberry milk.
Watching the chilling flag-raising ceremony and the entire audience singing together on the screen.
"Hey, hey, hey, isn't this a bit too much?"
"When did the world government develop this kind of cohesion?"
"That's not how it's portrayed in the comics!"
Gintoki, with his dead fish eyes, pointed at the TV and couldn't help but complain.
"This 'One Piece' world has become so strange!"
"really."
Shinpachi adjusted his glasses and analyzed the situation with a serious expression:
"The key lies in the appearance of the 'Stargate' ten years ago and the creator of that starfish."
"The One Piece manga on Jump only goes up to the end of the 'Marineford War'."
"It means that 'Whitebeard' died at the hands of 'Blackbeard'."
"So these might be content that appears later."
"But I estimate that the world government will not allow it to continue serialization."
Gintoki took a sip of strawberry milk: "So you mean that One Piece will later collaborate with Demon Slayer, Naruto, and our Gintama through the 'Star Gate,' or in some other way that it will be integrated into the main storyline?"
"Well----"
Shinpachi immediately realized how outrageous his idea was.
indeed.
The appearance of the 'Star Gate' is very strange.
At least it's not something that should be in the 'original plot'.
"What does it matter, Aru!"
While eating, Kagura mumbled something indistinctly:
"The result seems to be better, and it's more lively now!"
"I'm waiting for those police officers to lift the restrictions so I can go outside and have a stroll!"
"Maybe I'll even see some familiar faces~"
Shinpachi glanced down at the list of the top 100 contestants on his phone screen.
"No need. We should see plenty in the upcoming matches."
He then suddenly looked up and solemnly gazed at Gintoki.
"Gintoki, the time has come to test our 'anime viewing experience'!"
Gintoki sat up, brimming with confidence: "Heh heh, bring it on, Shinpachi!"
The scene at Duel City.
As the last line of the lyrics, "Pain and suffering, all embrace me," slowly faded away.
The five-pointed cross flag, representing the world government, was raised to the top of the flagpole.
It rustled in the constant breeze created by magic.
At the same time, all the lights in the venue suddenly turned on.
Hundreds of thousands of spectators were seated.
Stella and Gaz resumed the opening ceremony process.
The top 100 contestants, representing their respective worlds, entered the arena in turn.
Among them, Bang, Kamikaze, Suiryu, Darkshine, Bakuzan, and others from the world of heroes have aroused the curiosity of many viewers.
But then the attention shifted to Sesshomaru, Nura Rihan, Hancock, Hagoromo Gitsune, Sasori, Tina, and Konan.
These possess unparalleled beauty and are competing in the points race of the Reincarnation Paradise.
