Lightning Is the Only Way

No beast dared to answer. All these Emperors and Kings were very experienced and wouldn't fight a freak like Gravis. Gravis had played an Emperor to death. What could the Kings do against that guy?

"Ruler, I think Gravis should be disqualifie-"

BANG!

Well, there had to be at least one idiot among thousands of people or beasts. A King had spoken up but was quickly slapped to the ground by a level three Emperor.

"Shut up!" the Emperor shouted as he severely injured the King. This was his candidate, and he didn't want his candidate to die to his own stupidity, which was why he had severely injured him to shut him up. If he let Meadow do the punishment, he wouldn't even be able to find a piece of his candidate anywhere.

"Eh," Meadow commented with an annoyed but dismissive tone. She had already grown a bit excited that an idiot had shown himself, but the Emperor had put a damper on things.

Several more seconds of silence passed.

"Alright, then Gravis is the winner. We're done here. You can all go," Meadow said casually.

Yet, surprisingly, no one actually left. Instead, they looked with complicated and reluctant looks at Meadow.

"Meadow," Sary said with a chuckle. "Yes, we already have a winner, but the competition is also an excellent opportunity for the Kings to temper each other."

"Eh?" Meadow said with an annoyed voice. Then, she groaned. "Fine! Dickhead!" she shouted as she turned to the Lightning Ultimate. "You go arrange the competition. I can't be arsed to do that shit."

The Lightning Ultimate bowed respectfully to Meadow. "Yes, ruler," he said. Then, he turned to the Emperors and Kings with authority radiating from his being. "Gather in camps according to your region," he commanded.

The Ultimates, Emperors, and Gravis watched as the Kings split up into three regions. The sea Ultimates, especially, were interested in this event. They hadn't watched the competition of land Kings before.

Surprisingly, even though the western region had the most beasts in general, they had the least number of Kings. The absence of war did wonders for the growth of average beasts, but their most powerful beasts were less numerous.

The Lightning Ultimate made Kings from different regions fight each other. Most of the time, the northern and southern regions fought with each other, with the western region also getting a couple of fights.

Of course, there were rules. After the opponents were chosen, they both had to agree if they wanted to fight and if they wanted to fight to the death or not. If one of the two didn't want to fight their chosen opponent, they would lose the round and be disqualified.
