He returned his attention to his brand after the fire died down. He noticed that his crown and the designation that comes with it had been removed. He will have to work to acquire one in this challenge. It will be easy to do since he has 321 feats. There are at most 7 other people with around the number of feats that he has. They are the ones that can match him in the amount of assistance he gains from the world in this challenge. They will be his competitors for the divine crown.
"What do I do now?" He asked himself after looking through his brand.
There is only one divine crown. It is the most important crown and it is unique. As for the rest, there are 2 emperor crowns, 5 king crowns, 10 general crowns, and 100 commander crowns. All of them have keys but with varying strengths. The divine crown has the largest key and most powerful key. It will have the highest benefit for his pursuit of knowledge.
The key of the divine crown will be able to create the biggest vulnerability within the defense of the core. It should be clear what he should do and what he should aim for. He would have done it without a question had he not seen Salvini's message that she left for his eyes only. She was the one that wrote the message within mana that he found in the Zeroth ring of the previous challenge.
"I'll try my best. The rest is up to him. I will not give up my chances for nothing." He said and started running in the direction of the rainbow pillar.
The rainbow pillar is the beacon of the divine crown. Unlike other crowns, this beacon is calling out to others. It might have something to do with the mesmerizing colors of the pillar and the way they dance. It has a luring effect on the competitors.
The effect is not powerful. It wouldn't suddenly make someone who has common sense to try and claim the divine crown when common sense states that they should run away from it. The luring effect will only work on those who are undecided about pursuing the divine crown. They don't have common sense so it will tip the scale for them to do something stupid like trying to get the divine crown.
The divine crown is meant for the best. Which in Soverick's opinion, should be him. There are other people who believe that they should be the ones to get it and there are others who think they can get it if they are lucky enough. The fools who believe in luck will be the most affected by the calling of the rainbow and they will make up about 97% of the competitors for the divine crown.
He can't fly so he has to run. He ran in the direction of the divine crown while he contemplated his current situation and the obstacles he might face.
The assistance of the world during this challenge didn't make him stronger. It didn't remove the suppression of his power or remove the bans on levitation. Feats mean more chances to fight for a crown after death.
His 321 feats mean that he has 9 extra lives. He will be respawned every time he dies and he will lose half of his feats for each death. His feats will reduce from 321−161−80−40−20−10−5−3−1-0 which each death. 9 extra lives mean that he has 10 chances to get a crown. That's the advantage that feats are granting him. Those without feats will die once and be taken away by their brand.
He won't be eliminated easily in this challenge. It gives him a high chance of getting the divine crown. Things seem pretty good for him but he is not so sure about it.
He shook his head and muttered, "This cannot be easy."
It all seems very easy to him. The last person standing in the previous challenge gets two major advantages in this competition. They are the only ones that get to keep their weapons and whatever they had on them by the end of the challenge. The rest don't get anything. Then there's the number of feats that the last man standing gets. It gives them a lot of chances.
Those advantages are rewards for proving that they are the best in their Arena or at least, the luckiest. But why would people who are supposed to be the best need several chances? The feats they got didn't give them power. It gave them the opportunity to make mistakes.
If someone managed to become the last man standing, the odds are that person is very skilled. He, for example, is very skilled and he doesn't need many chances to respawn. He has never died in this competition and he also has the advantage of a high-quality weapon which makes his death even more unlikely. So why will he need the opportunity to return after death?
Either this challenge is not as simple as it looks to him or the chance to respawn indicates the importance of those with feats as compared to those without feats. It could also be both. There might be some hidden difficulty he is unaware of.
There are some obvious points of difficulty in the challenge. The first problem is decision-making and sticking with it. You have to choose an aim and try for it. The aims of this competition are the crowns. If you're unlucky and you are too late to get a particular crown that you are aiming for, then you have to be chasing after it.
There won't be only one person chasing after a crown. There is a limited number of crowns compared to the 4.5 million amount of people. That is the second problem. If you're the first one to get the crown, you have to keep it till the end of the challenge. The beacon on the crown will ensure that your position will be constantly known and people will chase you from every direction. You will have nowhere to hide as long as you carry a crown.
