Fosleve's words obviously shocked everyone. Of course, they also enraged many, like Olly. 'What the fuck?! Why did we do all of this in the first place, then? We're probably one of the most advanced powers in this competition. Isn't this completely unfair?'
Then again, the ones who were supposed to be even angrier were Rean and Roan. However, the fact that they could head to the center region earlier was nothing more than a great opportunity. As for whatever could allow them to win the Free Continent competition, that mattered little. Not that they would give it up, of course.
Fosleves could tell what everyone was thinking. "I just said that it could make this competition end earlier. I've never said it could give someone a guaranteed victory. I'm talking about the Continental Cultivation Suppression Formation. It goes without saying just how good it would be, right? It'll be up to you to take control over it."
"However, things aren't that simple. While the Space Bending Realm participants are gone, the continents will still be available for others to take. That means everyone will have to think long and hard about whether they'll send anyone at that level inside or not. How many Space Bending Realm will you send inside? How many will you leave? Will you level them all out and conquer the regions while the rest is gone? Will you send everyone inside and take control of the formation as fast as possible? Will you divide your forces?"
Hearing that, Olly immediately looked at the twins and said, 'You two should definitely stay outside with us. We don't know how long it'll take to get that formation or if it's possible at all for us. On the other hand, we have you. I believe we still have a very good chance at conquering the continent if you continue commanding the armies.'
However, Rean and Roan immediately shook their heads. 'Conquering the continent will take many years if we can do that. If the formation is taken during this time, we will be at a huge disadvantage. The other side could use it to make the copies of the badges useless for everyone except their own forces.'
Olly nodded, replying, 'Yes, but think about how many we will send inside. I'm not saying we aren't going inside. I'm just saying that you two should stay out at the very least to control the armies.'
Rean and Roan knew that Olly was probably right. Sadly for him, they didn't care about this Free Continent. 'We're still going. After all, we're probably the strongest Transition Realm subordinates. If there comes a time when Space Bending Realm people like you can't be used, it'll be better if we're there. Don't worry. Our System Sect has a lot of accomplished generals. It's not like we have been fighting alone.'
Meanwhile, Fosleve finished his speech. "Everything is moving faster than expected, but it's okay. Oh, right! If some of the powers who enter the central region happen to lose their region during that time, you'll be considered to have surrendered to the ones who took your territories. Keep that in mind. Lastly, I don't want to see anyone using their Pocket Dimensional Realms to bring extra help. Since I said only the Space Bending Realm participants and their subordinates can enter, I mean it! Anyway, that's all." With that, Fosleve's face disappeared from the sphere at the center of the room.
Hilanshi smiled as he passed everyone the location of the spatial gates in Butiva. 'Once you enter, you will only be able to leave once someone takes control over the core of the formation. That means it doesn't necessarily indicate that everyone who loses there will die. In any case, you have one hour to decide before the spatial gates are sealed again.'
Everyone looked at Olly, Luina, and the twins after hearing that. However, Roan simply called a subordinate in and took out a few jade slips. He quickly wrote several orders inside and passed them to the guy. "Give these jade slips to those whose names are written inside. Everything they need to know is there."
"Understood." The guy quickly nodded before leaving the meeting room in the palace.
Rean shrugged his shoulders after that, asking Roan, "So you're not leaving a single soul behind, huh?"
Rean's words surprised everyone. "What?!"
Roan didn't seem to care, though. "I have stopped all attacks and ordered the armies to stay in our territories. With our greater number of anti-cultivation suppression badges, we most likely won't reach a point where Space Bending Realm participants have to come out and defend. As for the rest of you, come with us into the central region. We'll try to take the formation for ourselves."
They had to admit they had never had problems defending before, but that was also because Roan was there to predict all of the attacks' purposes. "Are you sure about that?"
Roan shrugged his shoulders, saying, "Better than to suddenly lose all our cultivation. If that happens, then we're done for sure."
In the end, Olly, Luina, Leticia, and everyone else had to accept. The twins simply didn't intend to stay behind at all.
Rean then looked at Havek, who was also there. "Well, only the Space Bending Realm and their two subordinates can enter, so you'll have to stay too."
Havek was obviously not happy about that. "Since you're going, make sure to record everything about that Cultivation Suppression Formation. A formation that can act over an entire continent is definitely something worth studying." He really wanted to see that formation himself.
Kentucky and Celis didn't really care that much. "We can simply cultivate or do other things while it. Who knows, we might conquer a few more regions while you're out."
"Don't do that," Roan warned. "If you attack and that region still has Space Bending Realm forces, you're done for."
"Fine..." Kentucky wasn't really interested in attacking anyway.
With all of that resolved, the twins' group immediately moved to the location of the spatial gates.
