Death... and me

A few weeks went by.

As it all happened, the elders and leaders of every power were watching the start of the competition. They were obviously surprised that this kind of continental war happened and would last 200 years. Then again, considering their lifespans and the reward offered, they didn't think 200 years was that much time.

Naturally, each one of them was watching their own powers through the monitoring formation. However, they also had their own members watch other regions. After all, they wanted to know who would be their main challengers.

It's just that only a few weeks had passed since the start of the competition. Before ten years had gone by, the continental war wouldn't even happen to give the competitors time to build their armies. It was hard to tell who had the advantage and who was falling behind.

However, one continent. No, one country in specific started to grab their attention, Butiva! As mentioned before, the monitoring system allowed them to see pretty much everything they wanted. Naturally, they could see what was happening in Butiva.

They weren't the only ones surprised by Butiva's sudden burst of growth. Even the Rambram Sect members were shocked by the new technology that Luina's group was applying to Butiva. They saw with their own eyes how the System Sect set up antennas in all of Butiva's cities and now had a completely connected country. A country-sized communication method that can be used by anyone from anywhere completely free of charge.

It went without saying that a lot of the elders of the powers taking part in the competition began to grow apprehensive. They could easily tell how much faster Butiva Country was growing compared to any other country.

Of course, it's not like Rean and Roan were the only ones to bring a lot of people into their Dimensional Realms. As Hilanshi himself mentioned before, the twins were far from the only ones to have big Dimensional Realms of their own. There were many countries where the competitors brought out hundreds or thousands of their own subordinates to help with the country's development and war preparations.

However, compared to what the System Sect could do, the rest of them looked more like jokes. In just two weeks, the second management system was already up and operating. Not only that, the officers in the System Sect could communicate with all the necessary people in other cities in the country. Just how good was that? Just how fast could they solve issues?

The same went for their military. More and more communication badges were being produced at an extremely fast pace and were being given to all the important people in the armies. By now, over thirty thousand of those badges had already been distributed. It was to the point that the System Sect's antenna began to have a bit of trouble managing all the information passing through them.

That wasn't a problem, though. How could Rean and Havek not expect such a thing to happen? Rean came from Earth, so he knew very well what limited 'bandwidth' meant for the internet. He wouldn't let such a thing happen to his communication system. With that said, he and Havek had the Formation Masters of the sect install even more antennas while they upgraded the existing ones.

Thanks to that, Roan could receive all the reports from the armies and issue orders and proper training methods. Several armies in several different cities were becoming a single gear, getting ready to propel the country called Butiva.

If not because the competition was underway, the Rambram Sect would have entered the Butiva Country already and taken the System Sect's systems. But then again, Ganhan was right about one thing. Before the Rambram Sect made a move, they decided to use this competition to judge how good this communication system really was.

Folesve, that was the name of the furry old man that talked with all the participants before the competition started. He was also the one known as the Rambram Sect Master. At first, he completely ignored the competition and went about his own business in the sect. After all, it wasn't like he cared much about a continent at the border of the center of the Realm of Gods. To put it simply, he found it boring to no end.

However, once he received the report about what was happening to Butiva Country, his dull days had changed quite a bit. He was one of the several elders of his country who kept their eyes fixed on Butiva every single day. It was more like they were watching a reality show as the System Sect presented innovative methods every now and then, deeply surprising these old monsters.

"Oh! That black-haired twin is truly something else. I've never seen such a battle formation before, much less one being used in such a manner. It looks more like a grinder than anything else," Folesve smiled as he spoke. "Why did I give them ten years? If I knew someone like that was there, I would have only given them one year."

Klaus, one of the high-elders of the Rambram Sect, was watching the same thing with Folesve, replying, "Don't say that. If we allowed the battles to start now, that would be too messy. There would be no signs of real strategy anywhere as everyone moved out however they liked. Sure, this Butiva Country is proving itself to be a huge threat to the entire continent. However, that also means it will catch the others' attention sooner or later."

Folesve felt even more excited, though. "That's what I'm expecting. For now, no one in Walfure Region is expecting anything from Butiva's country. Those idiots think that the girl who took it was afraid of attacking and just wanted to defend."

Klaus shook his head in response. "That's only the case for the majority. However, the smart ones should have already gotten their spies in there, and it won't take long before these spies leave Butiva to spread the news."

Folesve smiled after hearing that. "Well then. I wonder if they can really leave Butiva."
