I thought Annihilators would be dozens of meters tall. Seems all Annihilators are humans.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have a prejudice against humans? Humans are among the top three races in the Void.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contestants murmured among themselves, fortunately none rushed forward to attack Su Xiao—not everyone harbored hostility toward him, though a male human mage was staring intently at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no ordinary mage from the Cycle Paradise; he was a mage who had painstakingly studied and mastered magical knowledge, akin to the academic-type mages in the Cycle Paradise—none of them were to be taken lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An unpleasant aura.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elemental energy surged around the male mage—not a single element, but the product of two elements combined: wind and water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combination yielded countless possibilities: low temperatures, cold vapor, air current manipulation, and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This elemental mage wasn’t merely patching two elements together to display new traits—he had fused them. Only through direct combat could one determine what new properties emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As natural enemies, elemental mages disliked Su Xiao, yet there was no killing intent in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The era of the Annihilators had ended a thousand years—or even several thousand years—ago. For this 31-year-old mage, the hatred between Annihilators and mages was merely legend; none of his ancestors had ever died at the hands of an Annihilator, so he wouldn’t wage a life-or-death battle against Su Xiao over ancient myths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao had anticipated this. Logically, mages without direct enmity toward the Shadow of Annihilation wouldn’t seek him out, just as he wouldn’t hunt down random mages with no connection to him. He had inherited the Shadow of Annihilation’s power, not its vengeful will—he didn’t wake up every day consumed by hatred, seeking to obliterate someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as mages didn’t provoke him, he wouldn’t bother them. He knew exactly how the era of the Shadow of Annihilation ended—it collapsed because the Shadow had made too many enemies, and Su Xiao often got caught in the crossfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet some hatreds born from the Shadow of Annihilation were irreconcilable—for instance, a massive human warrior who glared at Su Xiao with murderous intent, as if he wanted to tear him apart alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple: the warrior’s homeworld had been destroyed ten years ago by someone who had once been an Annihilator—now known as the Blade Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wielded the Blade of Death, his mind twisted into a demon—hence, the Blade Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blade Demon was a top-tier terror in the Void’s hierarchy. The warrior dared not seek revenge against him, but now that another Annihilator—Su Xiao—stood before him, his hatred surged. This was misplaced vengeance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, the new generation in the Void held little concept of the Shadow of Annihilation. The real trouble came from the ancient ones who had lived alongside the Shadow—stronger individuals lived longer, and for powerful mages, surviving a thousand years was normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If any of those ancient ones fought Su Xiao, he would die without question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the registration counter, a woman with a head of writhing snakes distributed numbered tokens; a long line stretched before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No cutting in line. No physical or verbal attacks on others. Lathinians, don’t defecate anywhere. Menseans, no loud shouting. Gulkians, no sandals—your feet are biological bombs. Anyone who disobeys, I’ll turn them to stone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female clerk sighed. So many races had shown up today, each with different customs—when gathered together, chaos ensued. For example, Nikans couldn’t get too close to Bendorans—their brainwaves interfered, triggering indiscriminate attacks. There were countless other prohibitions like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao stood in line and spotted the Three Brothers of the National Team nearby, joking with a stone golem about shampoo brands. The youngest brother held up a bottle of Piaorou shampoo, convincing the golem with bewildering enthusiasm. Who knew why a stone creature needed shampoo—it had no hair, only some kind of herbaceous growth sprouting from its scalp. If those plants died from washing, it’d be hilarious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, let me tell you—after using this, whatever that thing on your head is, forget what it is—your herbaceous growth becomes incredibly soft. Use Piaorou—it’s that confident!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youngest brother of the National Team uncapped the shampoo bottle and urged the golem to sniff it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you smell?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youngest brother beamed with confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golem scratched at the plants on its head—it had no sense of smell. The scene was painfully awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Bubu Wang’s eyes gleamed with opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bubu Wang barked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s time to show off your charm attribute.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao pulled a large bundle of daily necessities from his storage space. The Void’s natives might carry valuable items—letting Bubu Wang hustle them was a good strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Call me if you run into trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bubu Wang seized the large bag of goods and a high-tech tablet, then set off on its own, hunting for “prey.” Soon, it fixed its gaze on a three-eyed female.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting roughly five minutes in line, Su Xiao approached the counter. The snake-haired woman looked up at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm? You’re the Annihilator from the flyer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she studied Su Xiao, she handed him a token marked “106.” From now on, Su Xiao was Contestant #106 in the Arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Would you like to purchase death insurance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snake-haired woman flashed Su Xiao a seductive glance. Su Xiao had no idea what death insurance was, and he had no currency from the Void—but her attitude surprised him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not one of Alice’s people?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snake-haired woman was disappointed Su Xiao declined the insurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Void Arena is indeed under Alice’s domain, but there are three sponsors. Alice represents the Demon Fortress. As for the other two factions—buy death insurance and I’ll tell you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was pushing so hard—no one knew what commission she earned on death insurance sales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tsk, stingy. You’re blocking the line behind you. Move or I’ll turn you to stone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s 8-point Charm attribute had its effect—the snake-haired woman revealed no further information. Still, Su Xiao had gained crucial intel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Arena had 260 contestants; anyone who placed in the top 20 by surviving the fifth round could choose to return to the Cycle Paradise or continue competing, and the top three would receive high-value rewards: artifacts from the Void.\u003C\u002Fp>",1122,"2026-06-19T23:49:56.324Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","299e352c346cbda1b07a4f228ddb44c0d5900712107b332fca769d97aa500b49","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-948","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-946",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
