Inhuman Warlock-Chapter 922:Bias
Chapter 922:Bias
"So basically, the entire tournament is rigged already in favor of the seeds. No wonder Malin was so worried and said she had no chance of winning. Is that your way of nepotism in the Star Council Ranks?" Lucifer asked.
"You might be selected by the Queen herself, but you just came so late that we can't do anything about the ranks. You are at a really big disadvantage, but it's still not impossible to cover the gap before the tournament is over. In fact, there have been people before who defeated Seeded Candidates," the old man explained. "You know one of those people as well."
"Joana?" Lucifer took a guess. He was the only captain that Lucifer knew well.
"That's right. Joana," the old man smiled in response. "He was ranked twenty at the start, and he climbed through each challenge to win. Honestly, even I hadn't expected him to win, but he was really lucky during some challenges."
"Still, that trial only had one Seeded Candidate, but this one had three. Even if one makes a mistake, that doesn't mean you can win. You need to defeat all three of them throughout the trials," he further explained. "Do you think you can do it?"
"Do I have any other choice?" Lucifer inquired. "What I want can only be achieved if I win this thing. So I have no plans of losing."
"That's what I want to see. Don't give up. You do have the potential to take the crown. You might even set a record for the highest spots climbed to win the Captainship.
"Until now, no one had managed to win the Captainship while starting from the last ranked. The current record is with Joana himself for twentieth starting tank. You might be able to make a record that others won't even have the opportunity to break since there will most probably not be another rank fifty-one in the future."
'There might not be a Star Alliance in the future either if what I saw in the future happens,' Lucifer thought, shaking his head.
The old man didn't stop on the mountain and straight flew to the top. Lucifer followed the man, letting out a sigh of relief as they flew past the place where the entrance of Gabriel's house was.
The old man landed on the top of the mountain, where a flat snow arena appeared to be made. Lucifer remembered coming here last night. There was nothing like this here. It was as if these people had made this place in the last few hours.
All the fifty Participants were standing in the arena, waiting for Lucifer and the Administration of the Trials to arrive.
The middle-aged Instructor that Lucifer had a conflict with also stood there. He was so embarrassed that he didn't dare look at the expressions of others.
There were also other instructors present there. In total, there were five instructors, each of them having a calm expression on their face. They all look in the direction of the old man who landed right before them in the center of the arena. Lucifer, on the other hand, landed near the participants, once again taking his place in the lead.
This time there was no one who was mocking Lucifer for standing in the lead. What he had shown on the way here was nothing less than a miracle. He had defeated the instructor, who was from the Gale Clan.
He went against the rulers of the Wind and came out victorious. Not only that, but he was also about to kill the instructor. Whenever the lower rank participants imagined the scene they had seen, they felt a chill run down their spines.
The higher-ranked participants were still slightly in a better condition. They had seen many things in their lives, and they were all from powerful clans. They respected Lucifer's strength, but they weren't scared of him.
On the other hand, the top seeds had a different reaction to his show altogether. All of them had enough strength to defeat an instructor, so they didn't think much of it, but what shocked them was the ability that Lucifer used while doing it. He didn't just use the bloodline specialty of one clan. Instead, he used a specialty of many clans altogether.
"From which species are you?" Ron asked Lucifer. The other two seeds also seemed intrigued about this.
Lucifer simply shrugged. "I have no idea. They say I'm all of them."
"What?" None understood what the young man was trying to say. What did he mean by he was all of them?
"Don't ask him if he doesn't want to answer us," Raayi reminded Ron.
"Don't tell me what I should and what I shouldn't do," Ron snapped back. He was getting tired of Raayi thinking she was the boss. No matter what he did, she always had to comment in between.
He had been patient with her for a long time, but now he was getting tired. "I will do what I want, and you do what you want."

"I was just advising you, so you don't look like an idiot, but if you don't want to follow the advice, then be my guest." Raayi stopped speaking with the man who turned his eyes around.
"That's better." Ron shifted his attention back to Lucifer. "You said you're all of them. What does that mean?"
"It means exactly what it states. I don't think I can clarify more than that," Lucifer answered. "It's not that I'm avoiding the question. It's just that the answer itself is very confusing. Even the Star Alliance hasn't been able to comprehend the answer. All they say is that I'm all of them."
"Even the Star Alliance don't know your species? Which world are you from then?"
"Earth."
"Earth? I never heard of it before."
"It's a world that is just discovered by the Star Alliance," Lucifer answered. "What about you? What species are you from?"
"I'm the Lightning God Clan," The young man answered proudly. "The Black Lightning that you used? It is the specialty of our clan itself. That's why I was curious as to what you were. If my father saw you using the Black Lightning, even he would be amazed."
Ron further continued. "How about this? No matter what the outcome of this Trial, I invite you to my home world. If I win Captainship, you can come on my ship. If you win, I can go in yours. My family would really love to have you. Moreover, we might even be able to teach you some Black Lightning skills that you should be able to use."
