Chapter 2756 The Unremarkable 'Grim Reaper' Walter!
Night fell like a deep black velvet blanket over the entire Duel City.
Countless stars twinkled in the sky, like scattered diamonds by the Creator.
It complements the dazzling sea of lights that shines all night long on the land below.
The main arena of the Multiverse Duel has already ended its hustle and bustle for today.
But the city seemed to have just awakened.
The streets and alleys were filled with the laughter and chatter of duelists, adventurers, and tourists.
Mikasa stood alone on the edge of a building rooftop.
A biting evening wind howled past, whipping her short, jet-black hair into a chaotic dance.
That iconic red scarf was also fluttering in the wind.
She lowered her head slightly.
Those eyes, which were usually as calm as a deep pool.
At this moment, I am silently looking down at this bustling city that seems almost unreal.
However, in this year's top 100 competition, her final ranking was 35th.
For someone from a world of giants.
To achieve such results in a competition that brings together monsters and geniuses from all over the world.
To outsiders, this is already a very rare honor.
Moreover, this ranking comes with a hefty prize of ten million peles.
This is not the ten million that existed ten years ago when world governments had not yet reformed currency denominations.
Today's currencies undergo rigorous planning and appreciation.
The purchasing power of ten million peggs is simply astonishing.
To know.
The bounty of 100 million Berries was enough to drive countless pirates crazy back then.
That's equivalent to about four million Berries in today's currency.
It can be said that this huge sum of ten million is enough for an ordinary person in Haixing to live a life of comfort and ease for several lifetimes.
However, regarding these...
Mikasa, however, felt no joy whatsoever.
She didn't make it into the top ten.
All of this is meaningless.
Money, fame, and status—these things are like fleeting clouds to her, utterly insignificant.
She went to great lengths, even resigning from her prestigious position as captain of the Queen's bodyguard.
He tirelessly trained in swordsmanship and domineering aura at the Imperial Sword Studio day and night.
Fight to the death with all kinds of monsters in the 'Reincarnation Paradise'.
The sole purpose is to gain the qualification to make a wish to the World Government.
All she wanted to do was wish for the resurrection of Ellen and Armin.
They are Mikasa's deepest bond in this world, and an obsession she can never sever deep in her soul.
But now everything is in vain.
That seemingly within-reach gate to the top ten was ultimately shut away from her without mercy.
"Still too weak."
Mikasa murmured bitterly to herself.
She clenched her fists, which hung at her sides, her nails digging deep into her palms.
but.
Despair did not completely engulf her.
Because Mikasa knew she still had hope.
The 'Top 100 Competition' is held every four years.
She can register for the next session four years later.
I'm only thirty-one years old this year.
This age is the peak of physical and mental strength.
I have plenty of time to become stronger, and plenty of opportunities to compete for a spot in the top ten.
"Next time, I'm determined to win!"
Despite repeatedly trying to reassure myself in this way.
They try to fill the emptiness of the present with hope for the future.
But when Mikasa looked up at the cold, bright moon and the starry sky...
A strong sense of loss and resentment still surged into my heart like an unstoppable tide.
The feeling of helplessness when you try your best but still can't achieve your goal.
It made her feel like she could hardly breathe.
Just as Mikasa was lost in her own thoughts.
A rhythmic, booming sound of huge wings beating through the air suddenly came from the distant night sky.
Mikasa's keen Observation Haki instantly sensed the rapidly approaching presence.
She came to her senses.
He turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came.
Under the moonlight, a massive, thousand-year-old dragon with three heads and covered in emerald-green feathers could be seen.
They flew steadily toward their rooftop in a neat inverted triangle formation.
As they gradually flew closer.
Mikasa could clearly see each figure standing on the dragon's back.
They were three women with upright postures.
They were all wearing the Survey Corps uniforms that Mikasa was familiar with, as well as capes with the Wings of Liberty emblem.
The leader stands atop the most robust and powerful ancient dragon in the center.
It was Rico Breczeanská, who had many interactions with Mikasa.
Rico has now taken over Mikasa's position.
He became the captain of Historia's personal guard.
Her short silver hair looked particularly elegant in the night breeze.
His gaze behind the black-rimmed glasses remained as meticulous and earnest as ever.
"Long time no see, Mikasa."
The ancient dragon hovered above the rooftop, its enormous wings whipping up gusts of strong wind.
Rico looked down at Mikasa.
A genuine smile appeared on his previously serious face.
She announced loudly, "Congratulations on becoming one of the top 100 contestants this year."
"We all watched your match, it was fantastic!"
Hearing such a familiar voice, the sadness in Mikasa's eyes lessened somewhat.
She nodded and replied softly, "Long time no see, Rico, thank you."
Rico didn't exchange many pleasantries.
Knowing Mikasa's personality, she cut straight to the point:
"I am here on the orders of Queen Historia."
"The Queen wants to see you. Come with me."
"Queen of Pop"
Mikasa's heart skipped a beat, and she nodded to indicate that she understood.
Then, with a deft movement, he took a miniature red and white Poké Ball from his waist.
A gentle press of the central circular button with your thumb instantly magnifies it in your hand.
She threw the Poké Ball forcefully into the air.
A dazzling white light flashed by.
A magnificent, thousand-year-old dragon appeared out of thin air amidst a clear dragon roar.
Mikasa slightly bent her knees and gently pushed off with her feet.
The whole person then leaped up like a light bird.
It landed steadily on the other person's back.
Then came the three-headed Thousand-Year Dragon, which followed Rico and the others.
It took off into the air under the bright moonlight.
In the blink of an eye, they transformed into four green afterimages and flew towards the core area of the Duel City.
The night wind whistled in my ears.
The Duel City below transformed into a bizarre and fantastical geometric pattern.
Not long after.
The four thousand-year-old dragons then began to rise higher.
soon.
A huge, colorful box came into Mikasa's view.
Unlike the other Cloud-themed private rooms below.
This private room is located at a significantly higher elevation.
It's like a sacred palace suspended in the heavens.
Looking down upon all living beings below.
Below the private rooms, there is a spacious platform temporarily made of island clouds.
It can be used not only to set up various facilities and park vehicles and mounts, but also to accommodate a large number of guards.
Mikasa approaches riding the Thousand-Year Dragon.
I immediately felt the solemn atmosphere permeating the air.
Everywhere you look, there are Imperial Guard members wearing Survey Corps uniforms.
They all stood solemnly at the edge closest to the private room.
There were also a large number of Holy Knights, clad in platinum heavy armor, wielding long spears, and carrying sharp swords at their waists, belonging to the Holy Land Guard.
These knights were like statues, exuding an aura of iron and coldness.
In the shadows of the corner.
You can also see quite a few 'CP1' members wearing black suits.
They are like venomous snakes lurking in the shadows.
Walter C. Denis, who has many titles in the world of the State Religion, such as 'Hellsing Ace', 'Strongest Human', and 'Grim Reaper', is also one of them.
He just looked ordinary here.
At most, he just looks more handsome when he's back to his youth.
Such a grand display.
This is clearly the top-tier travel fare of a Celestial Dragon.
This made the other dignitaries and powerful figures in the other private rooms below quite wary.
They had absolutely no intention of approaching this airspace.
Mikasa was not surprised at all.
She was well aware that the Empress's status was on par with, but even more prestigious than, that of the Celestial Dragons.
Because they are the wives of the Creator.
The thousand-year-old dragon beneath him carried its master smoothly to the island cloud platform.
Mikasa then nimbly jumped off the dragon's back.
Take out the Poké Ball again, shoot a beam of red light, and recall it.
I straightened my collar and hair, which had been ruffled by the wind.
Mikasa followed behind Riko, stepping on the soft, cotton-like island clouds.
They walked toward the gilded gate, which was carved with patterns of "Soaring Dragon's Hoof" and "Phoenix and Hundred Birds".
But just as the two were about to reach the door...
A petite figure walked out from inside.
