Chapter 788: CRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The tense faceoff between Aron and the Trinarian fighter lasted only a moment before the AI referee’s calm voice broke the silence: {You have five minutes to complete your preparations.} The reminder echoed through the Colosseum, signaling the countdown to the battle’s commencement.

The Trinarian fighter finally broke the face-off, closing his eyes. The act puzzled many, sparking speculation about his intentions. Was he simply waiting out the five-minute preparation period in silence, or was he initiating something far more complex that required focus?

It didn’t take long for the answer to reveal itself. The arena began to distort subtly, with space itself cracking and healing rapidly at various points. The phenomenon repeated across multiple locations, each instance leaving no trace behind but clearly demonstrating an underlying attempt at work.

{He’s coordinate-mapping the Colosseum,} Nova explained immediately, recognizing the Trinarian fighter's actions with precision.
