Supremacy Games

Chapter 1928  The Chosen Ones. I

Back in the hall, Empress Emily continued her narration from that point onward, telling them how their bond with Supreme Azzorus grew when he reached out to them for their first mission.

She didn't go into details about the mission, but she did tell them that he started giving them more and more errands to run for the sake of assisting him in his battles.

However, they soon realized that some of those missions might be more fitting for other races instead of them, which made them seek his permission to bring in outsiders' help.

That's when Empress Emily reached out to the Hive Race, the Dragon Race, The High Elves, The Heavenly Turtles, and the rest of the powerful races during the Dark Ages.

When those leaders found out about the truth, their reaction was more or less similar to the Metal Race...Even the proudful ancient dragons under Ancestral Dragon Imyr lowered their heads in worship before the Supreme and vowed to help him in his journey.

"Since we didn't want the truth to break out and reach the public, knowing that our Supreme wouldn't be too pleased with his identity fully exposed, we decided to found the SGAlliance and take our battles to virtual reality." Empress Emily narrated steadily, "But, we didn't have the best technology back then and we knew that the majority of other races wouldn't bother to join the alliance."

"Fortunately, our Supreme is generous and saw our plight. Without even sounding a request, he perfected our virtual reality to the point it became considered a real illusion with 99.99999% realism...We took it from there on our own, merging our technologies with illusion to become what it is today."

"Wait what? Even the UVR origins are a lie?"

"This really makes you question your reality..."

"UVR was always too freaky and fascinating to me; being an illusion operated under a god himself makes more sense..."

"Wait isn't our supreme dead, how come the UVR is still operating normally?"

Most watchers didn't take the news lightly as it made them feel like they were living in a lie their entire lives. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

First, the SGAlliance's purpose was never to limit casualties or stop the wars in real life, but a mere front for the real union concerning assisting the universe's consciousness in his multiversal battles.

Now, they hear that even the UVR, which modernized and accelerated the growth of the entire population of the universe, was created by the universe's consciousness himself.

One's mind was capable of only processing a couple of shocks at once. Yet, those humans were being slapped right and left with horrific truths they would have never found even if they lived ten different lives!

This made quite a few highly alert individuals understand the severity of the situation before them.

'For Empress Emily to pull no stops, this means, what she is about to ask from us can not be simple...' Felix frowned coldly, 'It might even be sacrificial.'

Felix understood that his social status universally was no different than a bug before the eyes of dragons and other authoritative races.

Thus, he didn't let Empress Emily's openness to truth fool him as he knew that nothing was free in this universe.

As he was swimming in his thoughts, Empress Emily continued her story about the true origin of SGAlliance, telling them about how the games were introduced later on and that some of them were even copied from the true Multiversal Supremacy Games!

It was like they yoinked a well-developed system and added their own twists to it, which later on, developed to the point, that it became the culture of the entire universe.

With that, Empress Emily concluded the true history of the SGAlliance's origin.

Of course, every human summoned was smart enough to understand that what she told them was mere surface-level information.

In reality, millions of years had gone by since the foundation of the SGAlliance. Now, that they knew about truth, many parts of history could be brought up for questioning.

However, this wasn't the time to be discussing such 'details', which they knew none of them had the authority to pull out of Empress Emily's mouth.

Thus, they kept their ears perked in focus and watched as Empress Emily pushed the seven celestial hearts upfront.

"For the questions related to the Multiversal Plane or our Supreme, I am afraid there is no point in telling you...At least, not before we succeed in finding a new replacement for our Supreme Azzorus." Empress Emily uttered expressionlessly.

Many of the humans weren't too pleased with her response as they wanted to learn more about the mysteries of the Outer Worlds.

Too bad, they could only accept what was given to them.

"This brings us to the reason for summoning you."

As Empress Emily mentioned this, everyone gulped a mouthful in dread. Felix placed a hand on his chest to calm his agitated heart while keeping a stoic expression at what was about to come next.

"The short answer...is we believe the replacement is one of you."

'Huh? What now?'

Alas, even with his preparation, the answer still threw him off guard, leaving him questioning his ears.

His reaction was shared by the majority of humans as every one of them assumed the absolute worst before.

"Replacement? Us? Humans? I thought we were called to be sacrificed for a summoning ritual..."

"Likewise..."

"Is this some kind of a joke? How can we humans even come close to replacing the universe's consciousness?! We can't even kill a slime with our own hands!"

No one was overreacting in the slightest as humans were truly considered one of the weakest races in the universe, with no cultivation system to help them grow stronger like other races.

The only good traits in their possession were their outstanding adaptability, cockroach-like reproduction, infinite desire for more, and intelligence...Though, the two letters were a rare state, not every human owned, unfortunately.

"We understand that humans are weak by nature, and to be honest, we were fairly surprised that our Supreme has chosen your race to be the only one with the capability to replace him." Empress Emily said calmly.

"Supreme Azzorus had chosen us?" Felix raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Somehow, his voice was picked up by Empress Emily as she gazed at him and anwsered, "Yes, this has nothing to do with us and it never did."

Empress Emily pointed at the seven celestial hearts and continued, "Our Supreme seems to have predicted his untimely death and prepared a countermeasure to ensure our existence at least once he is gone."

"Unfortunately, he hasn't told us any details." Empress Emily added, "Using his own words: The seven celestial hearts will be the ones choosing their new host and owner as long as he is a human."

"Thus, we have gathered you here, the 1% of the 1% in your race. The strongest individuals, the smartest people, the most shrewd, the geniuses, kings, and leaders of many fields. We used Queen Ai to devise a special algorithm to pick you from the infinite ocean of your kind, which means..."

"If you were summoned here, you have something that might move the seven celestial hearts."

After hearing this, the majority felt a sudden heat arising from the bottom of their stomach, making them giddy and excited.

Some didn't make it obvious, keeping their heads lifted like being picked meant nothing to them...Most of them were kings and queens as they used to be at the very top of the ladder.

Still, when they looked around and understood that more than 90% of leaders weren't chosen, they couldn't help but feel an burning sense of self-esteem and arrogance overwhelming them.

As for the quirks, who didn't even know why they were chosen, they had no idea how to react...Felix was included.

'Algorithm? What did Queen Ai see in me that she didn't find in others?' Felix frowned in doubt, 'I know I am smart, but it's nowhere near the level of some of the stars around here. What kind of requirements were used to be exact?'

This doubt roamed everyone's minds as they kept looking at each other, realizing that they were truly a ragtag group in every single field.

Empress Emily didn't seem to have any intentions of giving them any clarification.

Without further ado she created a new platform that was a mere step away from the seven celestial hearts, then she called out a name.

"Denzel Mornn, please come forward to be tested."
