When the time on the clock finally came to five o'clock in the afternoon.
The huge venue, which was originally brightly lit, suddenly fell into darkness.
There were as many as 500,000 people in the crowd, mixed with humans, fishmen, mermaids, furs, snakeheads, and little humans.
Even giants, elves, dwarves, and more than a dozen different races caused an uproar in the audience.
Most of them have never participated in such an officially organized large-scale event before.
So I don’t have any experience with this kind of ‘live blacking out’ situation.
This caused many people to be on guard, wary of the changes around them, for fear that danger might strike through the darkness.
Fortunately, three seconds later.
A glowing three-dimensional number appeared in the void in the center of the venue.
10!
Then it becomes 9,8,7,6
Now everyone understood, and their tense nerves quickly relaxed.
Then he laughed at himself in his heart for making such a fuss.
This is an event organized by the World Government, and it's still in Haixing's homeland. Who dares to cause trouble?
3!
2!
1!
When the bright virtual numbers dissipated in the air, a line of huge white light fonts appeared.
[Opening Ceremony of the World Government’s Second Ten Thousand Worlds Top 100 Combat Power Competition and the Final Top 100 Ranking Competition]
next moment.
Sharp piercing sounds sounded from all directions.
The dark audience immediately saw colorful beams of light shooting straight into the sky.
【Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!】
When they reach the night-shrouded sky.
Suddenly they exploded into huge fireworks that were so gorgeous that it was jaw-dropping.
In an instant, their light obscured all the stars in the night sky.
The key point is that these dazzling fireworks did not dissipate after blooming, but were fixed in the night sky, and there was no smell of gunpowder in the air.
Because they are the product of magic!
Finally, after all the magic fireworks were launched continuously for ten minutes.
A miraculous "five-circle cross" pattern is formed in the sky above the "All Worlds Duel Arena".
Then it slowly disappeared into the night sky, allowing people to see the stars again.
This makes the viewers watching the live broadcast in front of the screen from all over the world now dumbfounded.
at the same time.
The entire venue was once again shrouded in blue lights that intertwined science fiction and magic.
"Dear guests and dear viewers in front of the screen, good evening everyone!"
"I am the host of this opening ceremony, Stella!"
Suddenly, a pleasant female voice echoed throughout the audience.
At the same time, a blond beauty wearing a decent white formal dress and a smile like a dimple appeared in the air.
Although it is just a virtual image, her beautiful face and figure are still pleasing to the eye.
"Today we gather together to participate in this unprecedented grand opening ceremony, and from tomorrow onwards we will witness the heroic appearance and glory of the new generation of top 100 players!"
"And in the coming time, we will have a series of exciting performances waiting for you!"
Stella held the microphone and hosted loudly with enthusiasm.
"But before that we want to thank the world government that supports all of this!"
"Now please all stand up!"
The 500,000 spectators present were stunned, and many people stood up subconsciously.
At this time, there was a loud "bang" sound from below.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to it and they found that a gate to the east was opened.
Immediately, I saw five majors from the army headquarters wearing black suits, black leather boots, black justice coats on their shoulders, and white gloves on their hands, and five majors in white suits, white leather boots, and black justice coats on their shoulders.
There are five majors from the Navy headquarters wearing white justice coats and white gloves.
Standing on both sides of a huge "five-circle cross" flag, holding the edge with one hand, he stepped into the center field.
【Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!】
Every step they took on the ground sounded a uniform, sonorous and powerful sound.
The sound of footsteps made the originally noisy venue quickly become quiet, and at the same time, the audience stood up in droves.
Some of them may not do it out of respect, but they definitely do it out of awe, or even pure fear.
Even the rich and powerful people in the 'Caiyun Box' stood up regardless of their mood at this moment.
Including Shenhe, Honglian, Jiu Lama and other powerful people from different worlds!
Just like that, in full view of everyone, the ten majors from the army and navy raised the flag to the flag-raising platform that had been set up in advance.
"Next time, there will be a similar format for children of different races to deliver the flags to the hands of generals and schools."
Im, who was far away in Noah's Ark, saw this scene and told Stussy to go over.
Stussy, who was standing aside and watching with interest, was stunned for a moment.
"Uh, okay, but does it also include giants and small humans?"
This time it was Im's turn to be stunned.
Right, what about the giants and little humans?
The young children of the former are also four to five meters tall, and the entire family of the latter is between ten centimeters and twenty centimeters.
"I think we can reduce the size of the giant children, and then let the little human children stand on the shoulders of the giant children."
The considerate Stussy did not embarrass Im and immediately came up with a good plan.
"Well, that's good, that's it." Naturally, Im had no objection.
At this time, the majors had already hung the flag on the flagpole, and Stella's voice sounded again.
"Start now, raise the flag of justice and play the song of the world!"
Hearing this, Im chuckled in his heart, this guy is really good at getting things done.
Think about it, the flag of a country is called the national flag, and the song of a country is called the national anthem.
What is the name of the flag of that world, and what is the name of the song of that world?
Not to mention a super-large organization across the world like the World Government.
Soon, the music of the "Song of the World" selected by the World Government began to sound in the "Duel Arena of All Worlds" and was transmitted to various worlds through countless screens.
This music is extremely strange to people from other worlds, but extremely familiar to people from Starfish.
They couldn't help but sing the lyrics that came to their mind.
"The sea is watching, the beginning of this world"
"The sea also knows the end of this world"
"So we are invited to set out on the path we should go forward."
"So the direction it leads is correct."
After a while, more and more people came to the scene, and starfish people of various races joined in.
What was originally a sprinkling of singing quickly turned into a chorus that swept the entire audience.
Even the audience from all over Haixing could not come to the scene.
Sing loudly at home, at school, in the square, and even in the military camp.
For a while.
Whether it is the Red Earth Continent or all the sea areas, this song "Guidance of the Sea" seems to be spreading
At this time, Shanks, who was in the 'All Worlds Duel Arena', looked at the scene in front of him and listened to the singing in his ears, his eyes became a little absent-minded.
He seemed to be able to feel that the hearts and minds of the people of the world government were condensing into dazzling stars in the sky along with the singing.
"Captain, your thoughts, I want to give up"
Shanks, with tears streaming down his face, whispered softly.
This was painful, but it also made the burden that had been weighing on his heart gradually disappear with the falling tears.
"What's wrong with you, Shanks?"
The 'Eight-Tailed' Ushiki, who shrunk in size and squatted next to him, looked over in confusion.
"Nothing, I just put down some things"
After saying that, Shanks raised his firm gaze and loudly joined in the chorus of the audience.
"Pain and suffering are all tolerated by me"
"Use its infinite tenderness to tolerate me."
"Don't be afraid, there are still friends waiting for you"
