As if he's spoken every single word before more times than you've spoken period in your entire life. “The tournament will be a team versus team format, with eight contestants for each Universe participating. Outside weapons or rejuvenation items will not be allowed, although implements of Faith that do not constitute weapons will be allowed. Fight until you are no longer able. If you kill another competitor, you are disqualified. Being rendered unable to continue, being knocked down and unable to rise for a full ten count, or hitting either the spherical barrier around the arena or any of the stands above counts as a loss, and you must leave the fighting stage.”
“Hold on, spherical?” you ask him, the being turning his gaze directly upon you. Where you immediately feel small, even the Berserker Soul, which is usually eager to rush towards a god and attempt a deicide, balks at the being before you.
“Yes. While only a dome is visible, the barrier does continue underground and maintains its shape. Touching any part of the dome is an elimination. Now, are there any other questions?”
“Yes, I have one.” Chaya says, fists on her hips. “What if you critically injure someone, but throw them outside the barrier before they die?”
“As long as a contestant still in the competition does not perish, what happens to them after they can no longer compete will not be held against a competitor.” he says, your daughter nodding. “Any other questions?”
Silence hangs over you all, the man nodding to himself.
“Alright. Feel free to move about this space as you see fit, the match will begin shortly.” he says, levitating back up to Grand Zen-Oh watching you all from above. This is it, it's about time for this new tournament to begin.
“Where do you wanna move to?” Chaya asks, walking up to you. “Want to stay here and be right in their faces when this starts? Or do you wanna move back, make them come to us?”
Well?
>You're not backing down, stay right here. Let the U6 team flee if they want, but this is your spot>Follow Chaya's lead and call for your universe to follow you, find a better spot to fight them from than between these two nearby rivers>Not only are you not backing down, stay close to Universe 6.
