"WHAT?!"
The Ersatz spies could only shout their shock as they saw their Archer suddenly get defeated in one fell swoop.
This wasn't part of the plan!
They were supposed to show the power of the Artifice in the eyes of hundreds of thousands of people! It was supposed to be an eye-opening moment where people finally saw the world without being bogged down by an ancient past.
In fact, to ensure that this happened, they even sent out a 8th stage Maugnetic Archer in the tournament.
That's right. The Archer was actually in the 8th stage rather than the 5th. With the Artifice, they could manually adjust their own cultivations to make it seem lower than it actually was.
This allowed them to bypass the cultivation limit and completely dominate the competition!
But… but before he could even show off his power, he was suddenly eliminated.
He staggered, lost control of his own Diva, and completely became defenseless.
