Chapter 280: Gregory
Nicole's private jet landed at Vienna Airport in the afternoon, and only Ji Tianci walked out of the plane.
At this time, Ji Tianci had changed into another person, wearing a mask made of vinyl chloride resin on his face, as if he had become a middle-aged man, and even his identification document had changed to a photo, which said that he was forty years old.
Ji Tianci arrives at Schönbrunn Palace, where he uses his new identity, Lucifer Morningstar, to open a suite in a luxury hotel near Schönbrunn Palace, using the credit card that Nicole gave him.
The Schönbrunn Palace Hotel was already full, and he didn't dare to stay there, in case someone saw through the disguise, it would be troublesome.
According to the information provided by David, Ji Tianci found the video of the victory match on the encrypted Internet, and he finally saw the picture of his previous battle. It was even more spectacular than he had imagined, especially his final battle, which was comparable to a battle between two supermen.
Unable to resist the curiosity in his heart, he wanted to see these transcendents in battle with his own eyes. According to David, the arena at Schönbrunn Palace is completely open to the public, and if you want to watch the game, you can just fly over it, and no one will stop you. Moreover, the grandstand design of each edition of the victory tournament is enough for the world's extraordinary to sit in.
As long as it flies into the arena from the sky, there will be a place to sit, and there is a limit to the number of "insider" spectators who enter the arena from the entrance below. There are a lot of insiders around the world, but even so, it is rare for a victory match to be closed to a mortal entrance, after all, not everyone in the know will go to the game.
……
When night fell, Ji Tianci was dressed casually and looked like an artist. Coming to the vicinity of Schönbrunn Palace, he stepped into the air more and more, and the mysterious power on his body supported him to fly higher and higher. Ji Tianci finally believed that he could fly, everything seemed to fall into place, and like walking, flying seemed to be his instinct.
Flying directly above Schönbrunn Palace, Ji Tianci finally saw the spectacular arena, the audience seats were easy to distinguish, people of different colors sat together, the whole arena was probably the largest arena in the world, and the spectators were dressed in a variety of strange places, very characteristic of various countries.
Ji Tianci didn't think much about it, and landed straight in a corner of the Asia-Pacific region.
There were more spectators in the arena than expected, and unlike David, they usually sat less than half of the seats.
After hearing the discussion of the surrounding audience, Ji Tianci understood the reason. It turned out that the second round of the group stage was about to begin, and tonight's two matches featured Gregory of the United States, who is widely regarded as one of the most likely to win the title. Moreover, compared to Mai Miku, the Gregorian battle is more enjoyable to watch.
Ji Tianci looked around while waiting for the event, looking at most of the oriental faces, he felt unfamiliar, only a group of Maoshan people made him feel a sense of déjà vu.
Lu Manwen and his party did not come here, and they didn't wait for Ji Tianci to watch the game again at the opening ceremony.
An hour passed, and with the cheers of the audience, the two players walked into the arena and walked into the arena that made Ji Tianci feel both familiar and unfamiliar.
Gregory was a very "spiritual" looking young man with an extraordinary temperament, wearing a Western-style white robe and holding a Trident of the Sea Emperor, which contrasted sharply with his opponents.
His opponent is a escort player of the Dark Council, a female A-class transcendent, Marquis Imogin.
Imojin was wearing a sexy black evening dress, and her tall figure looked very cold.
The surrounding audience talked about it, saying that if Imogin's match was held during the day, he would probably lose it quickly, and if he had to fight at night, he would still have the strength to fight. This is also a feature of the Dark Council, with most members of the Dark Council being stronger at night than during the day.
With the light of the shield flashing, the game officially began.
Imogen disappeared into the field in an instant, she didn't really disappear, it was just a concealment spell exclusive to the Dark Council. Outside the audience, Imojin could hardly be found, and only some of the top transcendents could sense her place.
But Ji Tianci "saw" clearly, the mysterious power poured into his eyes, and what he saw was a humanoid black mist, slowly approaching Gregory.
Gregory also took action, plucking out a hair and leaving it on the ground, and soon the hair grew like a small sapling, and in a moment it grew into a towering tree.
The audience outside the arena was amazed, even if the wood was extraordinary, they had never seen such a spell of "spreading into a tree".
The black hair grew into a large green tree with lush foliage, and the leaves emitted a soft green light.
Ji Tianci had a familiar feeling when he saw this tree, and he always felt that he had seen it somewhere. He stopped looking at the trees and turned his gaze to Gregory, full of mystical power.
The moment he saw Gregory again, he felt inexplicable palpitations, and a strong sense of unease rose in his heart, as if this man was a flood beast and would bring disaster to the world.
"What the hell is going on?"
Ji Tianci continued to observe Gregory, and he found that this person was different from everyone else, not in appearance, but in essence.
Ji Tianci looked around, there were three black fogs running in everyone's body, and he even saw that a pet dog carried by a European audience also had three black fogs, symbolizing the three black fogs of consciousness, emotion and life.
But Gregory did not have these three black fogs, there were two dark green rays of light in his body, a small light in his head, and a large light in his chest, and the light in his head seemed to play a leading role.
The concept of three souls and seven spirits suddenly appeared in Ji Tianci's mind, the three black mist in people's bodies should be the three souls, but what are the two green lights in Gregory's body?
They are like the main soul and the secondary soul, and the green light on the head represents the will, the will that cannot be disobeyed.
"Isn't he a human being?" Ji Tianci suddenly had such a ridiculous idea in his mind.
The game continued, and the green light released by the towering tree illuminated the entire protective shield.
Under the green light, the audience saw a vague but graceful figure, which was the outline of Imogin.
Imogen also knew that she had been discovered, she no longer hid herself, her expression froze, two fangs appeared in her mouth, turned into an afterimage, and with a loud explosion, she shot straight towards Gregory.
But her figure immediately froze in mid-air, and people saw her clearly again.
At some point, two vines wrapped around Imogin's ankles, pulling her alive in the air, less than ten meters away from Grigory.
Imogin's eyes froze, and two black daggers appeared in her hands, and the two daggers were all black, as if they merged with the night sky, and stabbed at Grigory silently.
The two were so close that Gregory was caught off guard, and in a hurry, he only used his trident to block the dagger on his right, and his head was deflected, trying to dodge the other dagger, but he was still accidentally scratched by the dagger on the left side of his face.
The green resin-like liquid oozed from Gregory's wound, and the audience thought that this was some kind of body protection exercise, but in Ji Tianci's eyes, he clearly saw that this was Gregory's blood.
"He must not be human!"
Ji Tianci was sure in his heart that Gregory must not belong to life on earth, or that he was no longer an earthling. Ji Tianci inexplicably felt a threat in him, a threat to the entire earth.
Gregory was slightly injured and expressionless, as if he could not feel pain. Imojin knew that it was not good when she failed to make a move, and she tried her best to break free of the tree vine, but the tree vine was extremely tough, and she couldn't keep pulling it.
Gregory stabbed the trident with his right hand very quickly, and was about to stab Imojin in the chest, but Imokin shouted "admit defeat".
She knew she wasn't Gregory's opponent, but there was always a shame if she didn't try, and the second place in the group could also qualify, and she didn't have to show too much strength in the fight against Gregory.
The battle ended quickly, after all, there was a wrong level between the two, and the audience was discussing the strength of the two, but Ji Tianci was worried at this time, he looked at the back of Gregory's departure, and there was a strong killing intent in his heart.
