[ The top 5 rankings will be announced soon. However, only the name of the pet beasts and their owners will be disclosed. Everything else will be omitted. ]
[ The rewards will only announced once the rankings have been finalized. ]
“What? It’s not going to reveal the top five rankers’ rewards?”
“And what does ‘the rankings have been finalized’ mean?”
“Could it be that the current rankings aren’t the final rankings?”
After reading the golden board’s announcement, everyone had found it difficult to remain calm.
The Great Beast Tamer level powerhouses were wracking their brains to get to the bottom of the matter.
‘Why aren’t the rewards being announced? Are the rewards just that amazing?’
‘The 6th place is rewarded with 9 drops of Elemental Essence, after all.’
‘Based on its pattern thus far, there should be a gigantic leap in terms of value for the top 5 rankers.’
‘It might surpass everyone’s expectations.’
The top 5 rankers’ rewards were driving everyone crazy.
More importantly, the Hundred Beasts Board’s second statement had contained an extremely important detail as well.
The current ranking was not the final ranking.
‘Does it mean that those who were ranked poorly have a chance to improve their rankings?’
Many powerhouses rubbed their palms together as they began to form plans.
Naturally, they dared not target those who ranked extremely high, however, there were still some weaker ones for them to pick on.
By getting rid of them, would they not take their place?
Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!
Most beast tamers had immediately taken action.
They soared into the sky and spread out in all directions across the Blue Planet to catch their opponents off guard!
Meanwhile, the Hundred Beasts Board in mid-air erupted with golden light once more.
Everyone was filled with anticipation as the fifth place details were revealed.
[ 5th place: Alcmene ]
[ Level: Intermediate Great Beast Tamer Stage ]
[ Phase: Growing ]
[ Region: Sans Ferrywood Ancient Shoals]
[ Master: Joe ]
Woosh!
Tens of thousand golden light rays bloomed and interweaved to form a strange-looking projection in the air.
The projection was over a thousand meters tall, and it had a human body. Its lower body was like a spider, and it was on top of a huge spider web.
Suddenly…
Alcmene let loose a bone-chilling howl in to the air.
Whoosh!
More golden light surged out, and an illusory world was created once more.
There, a terrifying sea beast that looked exactly the same as Alcmene appeared.
Its size could not be described with words. It looked as intimidating and as grand as a majestic mountain.
Thousand-meter-tall waves slammed against its body, but it looked no different from splashes from a puddle.
“My God, is this a projection of a mythical beast? Why have I never heard of such a creature before?”
“The Heart-seeking Golden Spider Snake’s true form is already terrifying enough, but when compared to Alcmene, I feel like it can’t even make up one percent of Alcmene’s strength!”
“Joe! It’s this Joe person again. Who the heck is he? To think that he possesses an Intermediate Great Beast Tamer Stage beast!”
Everyone’s eyes were wide open at this moment, and they were so shocked that their eyeballs almost fell out.
It was too shocking.
Not only did the terrifying Intermediate Great Beast Tamer Stage beast surpass the Heart-seeking Golden Spider Snake in strength, but it was only in the Growing Phase!
As such, it was no surprise that everyone was trying to figure out who Joe was, as well as he whereabouts.
The Shadowless Golden Ape from earlier was ranked at 11th.
Back then, it had already caused quite a stir among the Blue Planet’s citizens, and yet, he had placed fifth together with Alcmene as well!
“Two high rank pet beasts that belong to the same owner. This is simply unbelievable.”
Some Stage 9 beast tamers could not help but marvel at Joe’s achievements.
Generally speaking, there was no limit to the number of pet beasts a Beast Tamer could contract.
However, beast tamers usually only contracted beasts that were compatible with their physique and had extremely high potential.
That way, they could spend all their energy nurturing it.
True experts knew the principle of biting off more than one could chew.
However…
Not only did this Joe own two pet beasts, but one of the was even an Intermediate Great Beast Tamer Stage beast!
This was a great feat that no one in the history of beast tamers had ever achieved!
‘Just how powerful is Joe?’
“If his pet beasts’ are already this strong, then just how powerful is Joe himself?”
“Wait a minute! Look, isn’t that a Golden Stone Feathered Bear in the projection?”
Suddenly, a powerhouse cried out in surprise. He saw that beneath Alcmene, there was an entity donned in golden armor and holding a Divine Stone Staff that was preparing to attack.
The Divine Stone staff was a powerful divine artifact of the Golden Stone Feathered Bear from the Era of the Gods.
“H-How is this possible? Could Alcmene be a beast from the Era of the Gods?”
“It’s not just the Golden Stone Feathered Bear. Look, isn’t that a Mirror-splitting Beast?”
“Hey, isn’t that winged beast the Howling Wind Illusion Vulture?”
Hiss!
In an instant, all the experts who saw the figure were shocked.
Golden Stone Feathered Bear, Howling Wind Illusion Vulture, Mirror-splitting Beast. They were all powerful Divine Beasts from the Era of the Gods, and all of them were the figureheads of their respective pantheons!
However, in the projection, they were working together to attack Alcmene.
“Roar!”
At this moment, Alcmene raised all 8 of its claws. 5 of them shot out flames, and the remaining 3 shot out water pillars.
A terrifying power surged forth from its body.
A deafening blast followed, and the three Divine Beasts were sent flying over tens of thousand meters!
They crashed heavily into the surface of the sea, and raised huge waves that were at least 10 thousand meters wide.
In the air, countless droplets of gold, divine blood rained down from the sky.
Everyone was speechless at the scene. They were completely shocked by what they saw.
“A-Alcmene’s power is so terrifying?”
It had sent the three legendary Divine Beasts flying with just one strike. Such power was even more terrifying than that of a god.
Within the Aramborg Religion, the La Powo Palace, and the Burbus Temple…
The expressions of all the higher-ups of the three forces changed. drastically
Had Alcmene existed in the ancient Era of the Gods as well?
If so, had it actually defeated the Divine Beasts of legend?
How was this possible?
“Why is there no record of it in our inheritance?”
“Why isn’t there any mention of it in the notes left behind by the Gods?”
“Is it real or fake?”
“If it’s real, why isn’t Alcmene mentioned? And who is this Joe person?”
Woosh!
Everyone instantly turned to look in the direction of the rebel army.
The rebel army’s Divine Beast was the only Divine Beast that no one was aware of.
Could such a powerful existence belong to the rebels?
While everyone was busy mowing it over, the projection vanished, and Immediately after, the fourth-ranked pet beast was listed.
[ 4th place: Amut ]
[ Level: Intermediate Great Beast Tamer Stage ]
[ Phase: Growing ]
[ Region: Sans Ferrywood Ancient Shoals ]
[ Master: Joe ]
“Joe again?”
“Oh my God, how many pet beasts does Joe own? Are all of them at the Great Beast Tamer Stage?”
“This is scary, I feel my legs going soft. To think that I’m living in the same era with such a monster.”
“Crocodile head and a lion’s body. Could it be related to the Windflame Icy Man Crocodile?”
“Impossible. Look at its back, it’s like a hippo. It’s completely different from the Windflame Icy Man Crocodile1.”
“Alcmene is already terrifying enough, just how much more scary is Amut?”
