I'm not just human!

"Primordial stomach pouch?"

Xia Fa's eyes flickered slightly. This was probably the most difficult to predict and analyze among the top ten overlord-level secret contracts.

After all, other overlord-level secret contracts either have fixed abilities, only differing in their fundamental secret techniques, such as the Silver Throne, the Gate of Stars, and the Fairy Tale World.

Some may not have any secret contract abilities at all, but they have a general direction. For example, those who sign with the Forge of All Things will definitely go in the mechanical field, while those who sign with the Star Spirit Master will definitely go in the spirit control field...

However, the primordial stomach is the only source of information. The means and abilities of the signatory depend entirely on which supernatural creatures or strange beings it has devoured and successfully absorbed.

"Let's see. Luckily, He's facing a one-man show actor."

Tefal sighed softly, the implication being clear: at least in this match, they could gather a considerable amount of information about Rusconsin.

In that case, we should know how to deal with it, if He really can defeat the one-act actor.

Xia Fa nodded, but didn't say anything more, focusing on watching the game.

At this moment, not only the top eight contestants like Shafa and Tefaro, but also the audience drawn from all over the universe, were extremely focused, afraid of missing any detail of Ruscond's battle against the one-man show.

After all, if it were true, as Rusconsin himself claimed, that He could defeat the one-act actor, a top-tier angelic overlord, within three moves,

Then...he is the favorite to win this Super Fighting Grand Prix!

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Bright and clear applause suddenly rang out from the metal ring.

He is a one-act actor.

This young man, with brown hair, a round face, and an ordinary appearance, yet arguably the most mysterious among the thirty-two contestants, was now clapping as if no one else was around.

He clapped slowly, a faint, mask-like smile on his face, as he looked at Rusconsin across the ring.

"Excellent, truly excellent. It's rare to find an opponent who can interest me this much."

After clapping, He seemed to sizing up his domineering and aloof opponent before saying:

"You signed the Primordial Stomach, a supreme-level secret contract, right? But you don't seem to have mastered any divine combat techniques, nor do you seem to possess any incomplete divine treasures. As for complete divine treasures, you certainly couldn't possibly produce them."

"so……"

The one-act actor took a step forward, and with that one step, a huge theater suddenly unfolded beneath his feet.

Inside the theater, the gold-trimmed curtains were drawn back, and a luxurious red carpet was laid out. Countless figures slowly emerged from behind the curtain, each one exuding an astonishing aura and appearing somewhat familiar.

"...How exactly do you intend to defeat me within three moves?"

Snapped!

The next moment, in the grand theater surrounding the one-act actor, the stage lights came on.

Everyone finally saw clearly the terrifying figures behind Him.

The moment they saw it clearly, the audience gasped in disbelief, their expressions filled with utter astonishment and disbelief.

"what?"

"I...I didn't see that wrong, did I!"

"This is……"

"Oh my god!"

"Lord, how did He do that?"

Not only the audience, but also Chaphat, Tefal, the painter who had regained his senses, and Casimir Alexander, among others, nearly stood up from their seats.

They all looked at the grand theater behind the one-man show actor on the stage with varying degrees of astonishment, some even showing expressions of disbelief.

Inside the theater, on a luxurious Persian-style carpet, stood... The figures of Tefaro, Casimir, the painter, and others!

No, to be precise, it's a stage puppet made exactly like them!

Each puppet stood silently with a blank expression, yet it gave off a chilling feeling.

The puppets all have white lines running up to the very top of the stage, out of sight.

For some reason, there were only seven marionettes on this magnificent stage.

However, these are practically the seven strongest fighters in this Super Fighting Grand Prix!

These include the puppet-like Tefal, the puppet-like Casimir, the puppet-like painter, the puppet-like clown, and the puppet-like Alexander and Michel, among others.

However, Xia Fa was not among them.

Of course, Ruscond is not included either.

"Divine Battle Technique! This must be a divine battle technique! But... what kind of divine battle technique is it, and what are its effects?"

Alexander looked at the puppet that was exactly like himself, especially its mechanical arms that were suspended by wires, and asked a question with a chill down his spine.

Xia Fa, of course, had no idea. Although his knowledge of mysticism was now considered to be at a basic level, he was currently encountering questions that frequently involved mystical knowledge related to the Nine Great Gods.

This is like asking a college student who has just started studying physics to answer the most cutting-edge questions in quantum mechanics and string theory—it's simply impossible.

However, this also made Xia Fa secretly decide that he must study these most profound and top-secret esoteric knowledge thoroughly in the future, so as not to be completely clueless when facing enemies.

For example, what are the "incomplete divine treasure" and the "complete divine treasure" that the one-act actor mentioned earlier?

Xiafa had never heard of it before and planned to ask Tefaro about it later.

At this moment, Tefaro stared intently at "himself" in the theater, and slowly began to speak, communicating with Shafa and Alexander, mainly with Shafa.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the [One-Act Drama of Fate]. It is a divine battle technique created by the most mysterious of the nine righteous gods, the one whose name no one knows to this day."

"Of course, I don't know exactly what the effects of the [Fate One-Act Play] are. I've only vaguely heard the cardinals and archbishops mention the name of this divine battle technique."

"But at least for now, it seems that this 'one-act play of fate'... can replicate our abilities, turning us into puppets controlled by the one-act actor!"

Before Tefal could finish speaking, and before Shafa could reply, Alexander exclaimed in sudden realization:

"Oh—so that's why the one-act actor was trying to delay his entrance. Was he afraid of revealing this divine battle technique too early, giving us time to prepare and making it harder for Him to replicate it?"

Tefalo glanced at Alexander with some surprise, not expecting that this somewhat simple-minded fellow could make such a connection so quickly.

"Yes, that should be the case, and from this we can also deduce that what He signed should be the 'Eternal Conditions' hegemonic secret agreement."

"Why?" Alexander, who had just been thinking clearly for a while, was now somewhat confused again.

Xia Fa chuckled and shook his head, then began to explain to his younger brother:

"It's simple. The one-act actor's opponent in the first round, Becker, who was almost killed by Michel, was just an angel, not an angel-level overlord."

“In this case, if the one-act actor has signed any of the other six known hegemonic-level secret contracts, He has the ability to easily defeat Becker in a head-on battle.”

"Only the condition of 'eternity' might force Him to use the [Fate One-Act Drama] before He can achieve 'eternity' through the 'condition' when He faces Becker head-on. This would cause His divine battle technique to be exposed prematurely, and His plan would fail."

Alexander seemed to understand something, and then he realized:

"I see..."

Tefaro lazily added:

"There's another point. In the Earthly Kingdom of the Natural Monarch, Becker is working under Hannes. The one-act actor must have investigated our rivals, who are competing with Him, as much as possible before this Super Fighting Grand Prix began. That's why we chose not to confront Becker directly."

Hennessy...

I've heard of that name before.

Because Glenn and Axel, both members of the "Church of Nature," had mentioned this name, and when they did, their faces were filled with awe, even a hint of fear and deep envy.

Hennessy, one of the strongest geniuses of this generation in the Earthly Kingdom of the Natural Monarchs.

Moreover, unlike the painter, Hannes... has already begun to attempt to ascend to the position of Sovereign and is about to become a transcendent monarch!

In this situation, the one-act actor must have considered that Becker, as Hennessey's underling, might have received some extremely powerful treasure from Hennessey. Combined with the one-act actor's own scheming, this is why he chose to avoid fighting in the first round.

"By the way, what is the divine treasure?"

Thinking of the secret treasure, Xia Fa simply took this opportunity to ask.

In any case, in Tefal's eyes, his current "Caesar" persona is that of a genius who has grown up from humble beginnings, so it's normal that he doesn't understand these advanced occult knowledge.

Sure enough, when Tefal asked this question, he showed no unusual expression and explained very naturally:

"You should know about the secret treasures, Caesar, right? They are basically crafted by secret treasure craftsmen using various extraordinary substances, extraordinary materials from supernatural creatures, and even parts of strange creatures."

"The biggest difference between secret treasures and sealed artifacts is that secret treasures can be crafted by humans, and even mass-produced if enough materials are available. Sealed artifacts, on the other hand, are naturally generated under very coincidental circumstances, and often come at a higher cost when used, with some even carrying some curse effects."

"Upon reaching the Angel rank, one can forge secret treasures independently without signing the advanced secret contract of 'Secret Treasure Craftsman.' As for those above, such as Sovereigns, Extraordinary Monarchs, Extraordinary Great Sovereigns, Secret Emperors... and even Divine Intermediates, Outer Gods, and the Nine Great Gods..."

He paused slightly, intending to catch his breath before continuing.

However, Xia Fa was somewhat stunned, his pupils contracted slightly, and he almost couldn't maintain his tough guy persona.

"You mean... the divine treasures are treasures created by the gods?!"

If this is true, then the divine treasure... can simply be called the most precious treasure in the world!

Seeing that he understood what she hadn't yet said, Tefaro slowly nodded, gazing at the azure sky beyond the golden barrier, as if remembering something:

"That's right. Those crafted by gods are called divine treasures, those crafted by outer gods are called outer divine treasures, and those crafted by the nine righteous gods... well, those are naturally righteous divine treasures!"

At this point, He said with great interest:

“I have heard that in the Baron Ocean, the Shark Princess and the Thousand-Faced Prophet are not the rulers of the extraordinary monarchs. The reason they can contend with the Roaring Emperor and the Father of Ten Thousand Stars is because they each possess a fragmented mysterious treasure.”

Xia Fa paused slightly, suddenly remembering the platinum mask inlaid with tiny gemstones that Princess Shark wore.

So, it was a damaged, mysterious treasure?

As for the Thousand-Faced Prophet, the pirate emperor whose half-body and half-face were black and the other half-body and half-face were white, now that I think about it, the reason why he presented such a strange appearance seems to be because of the half-black and half-white swallowtail coat he was wearing.

Judging from this, it should also be a fragmented mysterious treasure.

"The Nine Great Gods need no introduction. These nine supreme beings could never allow the divine treasures they personally crafted to leak out, since they are all still alive and well."

Tefaro continued explaining to Xiafa with great patience, though his tone was slightly presumptuous.

"But as you, Caesar, know, the Outer Gods and the Outer Gods roam the Protoss Realm and inevitably encounter some unknown beings. If any Outer God or Outer God falls as a result, their treasures sometimes flow into the real world and are obtained by people."

"Of course, some were obtained by angels or rulers when they entered the Protoss Realm to travel and explore on their own."

"Among them, the divine treasures that are severely damaged are called incomplete divine treasures, while those that are nearly intact are naturally called complete divine treasures, and some people also call them true divine treasures."

After finishing his sentence, Tefaro suddenly and seemingly unintentionally pushed away the hilt of the curved sword in his arms with his thumb.

A sharp glint of light appeared, instantly illuminating the faces of Xia Fa and Alexander.
