...3000 death votes?
That's him, right?
...right???
Leinster felt that all the blood in his bipedal body froze and he was about to turn into a stone statue.
Leinster's old audience who knew the exact number of his death votes immediately bombarded the comment section, even barging to other challengers' livestreams to spread the news.
[Hey, hey, that Leinster guy is going to die! He's second on the Death Ranking!]
[Damn, so our people really hate him so much, right?]
[Among the new challengers this season, who is more despicable than him?]
[Yeah, the monsters under his control massacred half of an entire city, killing close to millions of people.]
[He even caused a ruin that has been cleared and materialized to suddenly riot, creating a massive breakout.]
[Ha! He deserved to die!]
[Die!]
[Die!]
Leinster's palms, feet and back were all drenched in a cold sweat as he listened to the sweet voice of the mysterious entity.
[Dear challengers and audiences, there are five people with 3000 Death votes, tied for the second and third rank!]
[Please take a look~ ]
The Death Ranking showed the picture of five people but two of them were greyed out and had a big red cross painted on their pics.
[Unfortunately, two people perished inside the ruin, so we only have three candidates...]
Among the three candidates, Leinster accurately caught a familiar face.
White hair and crimson eyes.
Oho, that's him.
Handsome as always.
No, no, it's not the time to appreciate his handsome face!
Leinster felt as if countless ants were gnawing on his nerves.
He even had an urge to catch the unknown entity and shake them wildly, shouting:
C'mon! Quick! Reveal the second and third place!!
As if knowing Leinster and the audience's urgency, the sweet voice spoke unhurriedly, with a hint of teasing.
[Since these three people are tied for the second and third place with only one person who can survive the elimination— ]
The voice deliberately paused to create suspense before continuing.
[We will decide by the number of Life Votes these three people received inside the ruin, purely votes donated by the audiences!]
[Life Votes] appeared below the three people's pictures, rapidly changing from 0 to several hundreds and back to zero.
Whirl. Whirl. Whirl.
The empty spot of the second and third rank also continuously changed with the three people's names, extremely glaring to Leinster's eyes.
The alien, who had never prayed to anyone before, suddenly found himself clasping his fingers together and wishing desperately.
Please, please, not me, not me...
DING!
The name of the 2nd rank spot froze, revealing a certain name.
[Dreg Drey]
[Life Votes: 200]
In that instant, Leinster let out a huge sigh.
"Ahhh...thank God it's not me."
Still, this second-ranked guy actually got 200 life votes...
Maybe he wasn't as bad as the first-ranked criminal?
But then, the survivors around Leinster immediately rebuked his thoughts with sighs of disgust.
"Who the hell gave Life votes for a pedo who even created a museum to 'display' his victims??? Disgusting!"
"Find these people, they might be hidden pedo too!"
"Thank God he entered the second rank. Ha! His fate is sealed!"
"Who will be the third rank?"
Everyone subconsciously thought...
It must be Leinster.
So far, the two death row criminals were from western countries out there, far from their eastern country.
So Leinster should somehow enter the third rank, right?
His crime was even well-known in the western countries!
Surely, many people hated him too?
Under the watchful eyes of countless people all over the world, the third name slowly rolled, revealing the name by each alphabet.
[L]
[Le]
[Lei]
Leinster's face turned pale and he almost kneeled on the spot.
It's over.
That's him.
For sure!
The three alphabets continued to add up without a care.
[Lei— ]
[Lei Tong]
[499 Life Votes]
....the fck who is that?
Leinster's brain stopped working for a moment before the survivors' mixed reactions exploded.
"Ah! Damn! It's not Leinster!"
"Fck! Thank God it's not Leinster! The safe zone will not disappear!"
The comment section was also a mix of various reactions, much to Leinster's surprise.
[Hey, I'm actually a bit relieved that he's not included in the top three...]
[Upstairs, you can say that cuz your family didn't die in that massacre, right? Fck.]
[Guys, our country still needs strong challengers...this guy can be used as a meat shield for our heroes in the league.]
The murmurs grew louder, but Leinster's eyes were fixed on the fourth name on the ranking, the one that barely missed the top 3 spot.
[Leinster Raine]
[500 Life Votes]
It was only the difference between one vote.
And that one vote might come from the very first person who gave him a vote...
[Otomen Lover]
Leinster suddenly had an urge to worship whoever this person was.
They're his saviour! His reborn parents!!
DING! [Congratulations for the top three challengers!]
[You will be rewarded with a generous gift— ]
[A quick death!]
Somewhere in the world, the three people in different places, outside of the league's control, froze at the shocking announcement.
However, before they could even react...
Their heads exploded like a watermelon, splattering everywhere, staining the surroundings with red blood.
It turned out such devils still bleed the same red blood.
It was really...an elimination on the spot.
Quick and ruthless.
After "dealing with" the top three "champions", the sweet voice giggled.
[Hehehe, the elimination round is over! Let's welcome the start of League 3~ ]
A white bunny standing on two feet, wearing a crimson vest and a black bowtie suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, whether they were sleeping or conscious.
The white bunny waved its paws and grinned, showing a row of human teeth.
[Dear League 3 challengers and the new challengers of this season, please prepare yourself~ ]
[As per usual rule, there won't be any map distributions for the Ruin's emergence~ that's just a little bonus for the preliminary round!]
[The ruin you will be assigned to will be completely random or if you're within the range~ ]
[Any other questions? No?] The rabbit didn't even wait for anyone to speak and immediately clapped happily.
[Then, it's settled!]
A huge smile bloomed on the rabbit's face yet the smile never reached its eyes.
[The league 3 is starting in— ]
[Three~ ]
[Two~ ]
[One— ]
Leinster felt the familiar sucking force as the whole world spun around.
DING! [You have entered a ruin!]
