As the Golden Giant was defeated, Orochiâs eight heads rose up again and spat out eight words.
âThe Federation is incompetent. The heroes are shameless.â
This was not the first time the words had appeared. More accurately, it was the third time.
Apart from the time when Ice Elemental Sprite Queen was defeated, there was also a Mythical dimensional creature that challenged Orochi, only to end in defeat. After that victory, Orochi similarly spat out the words.
Now that the Golden Giant was defeated again, the entire Federation seemed to explode. Public opinion turned to question the abilities of the six hero families.
If they couldnât even deal with a single Orochi, how could they uphold the Federationâs peace?
There were even some relatively biting media outlets that directly used headlines like âAre the descendants of the heroes still heroes?â to criticize the six familiesâ inaction.
This was especially so for the West Districtâs media. They bombarded the Family Clan of Gods and Cape family with various opinions.
As the Zhang, Xia, and Dugu families hadnât taken action to date, they werenât as miserable as the other three families even though they were constantly questioned.
After all, they hadnât been defeated. In theory, they still had the ability to win. They were different from the Cape family and the Family Clan of Gods who had been defeated one after another.
The six families also knew that their various schemes and arrangements were made to win the final championship. Now, an Orochi had stirred up the situation, disrupting their plans.
If they revealed their trump cards, it wouldnât be difficult to kill Orochi. However, if that happened, they would lose the chance to vie for first place with the other families. Therefore, they could only send inferior Mythical Companion Beasts to fight, but the outcome was defeat.
The Zhang, Xia, and Dugu families were even more depressed. Of all times, the core forces of their three families had gone to the Southern Wildernessâs dimensional zones. Although there were others who could fight, the Companion Beasts were still in their plans. If they were exposed ahead of time, it would trigger a series of chain reactions and disrupt their plans.
As such, the Federationâs situation became very delicate.
None of the six families were willing to expose their top Mythical Companion Beasts, but they ended up being defeated by Orochi three times in a row. It left the entire Federationâs citizens ashamed.
âFrom the looks of it, we can only expose some things ahead of time. Those few families are shameless, but our Xia family canât be shameless.â Xia Dongyue was still hesitating as to which Mythical Companion Beast his family was to assign.
Not only was Orochi proficient in various attributes, but its physique was also powerful. With the indomitable sword beam, it could be said to be an extremely comprehensive Mythical Companion Beast. It wasnât easy to defeat it cleanly and beautifully.
Why did Liuchuan have to go to the Southern Wilderness at such a time?
Xia Dongyue thought gloomily.
If Xia Liuchuan was here, his Companion Beast would be best at restraining a Companion Beast like Orochi. If the enemy wasnât prepared, it wouldnât be impossible to kill it in one strike.
Unfortunately, Xia Liuchuan wasnât around, causing Xia Dongyue to have a headache.
The Xia family wasnât the only one with a headache. The other five families were also having a headache. At this stage, if they didnât defeat Orochi, the reputation of the six families would probably be damaged.
The few families had already planned on sending their top Companion Beasts to battle, but at that moment, the black cube lit up.
The media had been bombarding the six families for their inaction. They hoped that they could step forward as soon as possible. Just as they were in a frenzy, they realized that the black cube had lit up. They thought that the six families had made a move.
However, they soon discovered that the entity who appeared on the cube was Tyrant Behemoth who had previously given up.
âEh, why is Tyrant Behemoth out again? Didnât it not dare to accept the battle previously?â
âIt should be challenging other Companion Beasts, right?â
âGiving up without a fight means it already knew it was no match for its opponent. Now that itâs back again, itâs definitely not challenging Orochi.â
âAnyone can tell that a Companion Beast like Orochi is the nemesis of Tyrant Behemoth. No matter how strong its physique and strength is, it canât withstand the indomitable tail of Orochi.â
Everyone believed that Tyrant Behemoth wanted to challenge the other Companion Beasts and board the rankings again, but to their surprise, when the name of the challenger lit up, it was Orochi.
âWhatâs going on? Didnât it give up earlier? Why is it making the challenge now?â
âWhat kind of show is this? Despite knowing that the Companion Beastâs characteristics are restrained, they are still forcefully challenging Orochi?â
âCould it be that our Federation really doesnât have any stronger Companion Beasts? We can only let the restrained Tyrant Behemoth fight?â
Instantly, voices of doubt and speculation arose. People were discussing why Tyrant Behemoth wanted to challenge Orochi at this moment.
Zhou Wen didnât think too much about it. He was also a member of the Federation, so he felt uncomfortable being insulted like this.
Of course, it was mainly because Zhou Wen had the intention to get high on the rankings. Furthermore, he could take down Orochi, who had gotten to its position by kicking Tyrant Behemoth out.
After watching the battle between Orochi and the Golden Giant, Zhou Wen now knew the strength of Orochi. It wouldnât be difficult for Tyrant Behemoth to defeat Orochi.
It was a piece of cake. Not only could he get a high ranking, but it could also frighten everyone. It could also attack the evil ones overseas. It was killing three birds with one stone. Why not?
Therefore, Zhou Wen summoned Tyrant Behemoth and allowed it to ascend the cube to challenge Orochi.
âAre you finally coming out?â Uesugi Nao looked at Tyrant Behemoth on the cubeâs screen and chose to accept the challenge without any hesitation.
She knew that Tyrant Behemothâs owner must have studied Orochi for a long time. However, she was confident that with Orochiâs characteristics, it could definitely restrain Tyrant Behemoth. Under her command, it definitely wouldnât lose.
The entire worldâs media saw that Orochi had accepted the challenge. Instantly, all the major channels and online platforms were livestreaming the cubeâs screen.
A little boy held his motherâs hand and stood in front of the big screen on the street. He asked worriedly, âCan Tyrant Behemoth win?â
âHe will definitely win,â his mother consoled him gently.
âBut weâve already lost twice.â The boy was still somewhat worried.
âDonât worry. No matter how many times we lose, there will always be heroes in the Federation who can step forward to save the world. Perhaps that hero is Tyrant Behemoth,â said his mother.
The boy didnât say anything. He only clenched his fist and looked at the big screen nervously.
Boom!
Orochi landed in the arena. Its huge body was ferocious and terrifying. The eight snakeheads raised together as its eerie snake eyes stared intently at Tyrant Behemoth.
Tyrant Behemoth maintained a height of a few meters and didnât gigantify. Compared to the massive Orochi, it appeared somewhat weak. However, everyone knew that Tyrant Behemoth could still gigantify. Its body wouldnât be smaller than Orochi.
To everyoneâs surprise, Tyrant Behemoth didnât transform. Instead, it leaped up and punched one of Orochiâs heads.
