Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

"It's not an upgrade requirement, but something else. Check the Island's status window and you'll know," Erix grinned.

Rin, Isabella, and others were pillars, so they could check it.

"There's no need to wait, Erix," Lilith narrowed her eyes and sharply smiled. "Tell everyone to vote today, so we can begin the World Gauntlet Tournament tomorrow."

"Let's go and check out the World Council," Lily smiled."Most of the people are going there to see it, so you can also announce it there."

Isabella, Aria, and others nodded.

"Alright, let's go."

…

Soon, everyone flew towards the Sanat ocean in the southeast of the globe and arrived there to see a massive circular structure spanning two kilometers in radius made of some sleek and exotic marble stones with carved designs.

At the center of this circular structure was a majestic white throne with golden and black designs and carved patterns.

The circular structure had an array of pillars at the edges that supported it and a huge platform surface despite being surrounded by the ocean.

Erix sent an announcement in the U-card.

[We shall begin the vote right away so the tournament can begin after 24 hours.]

After sending the announcement, Erix interacted with the World Council and started the voting process.

A notification sprung up before everyone.

[Vote to begin the World Gauntlet Tournament: Yes — No]

Everyone in the top 100 World leaderboard saw the notification.

[Jason: That guy finna become the Ruler of this world.]

[Amir: Don't dwell on useless stuff. No one else can take that position.]

[Yelwon: Who is still left?! Finish the voting.]

Everyone soon finished voting and when the vote exceeded 50+, the notification rang.

[World Gauntlet Tournament will begin after 23 hours and 59 minutes.]

…

Erix created a portal at the corner of the World Council that directly led to Phoenix City and arrived back at the Blessed Island.

Most of the people still opted to fly instead of using the portal to do an adventure and explore some places to find dungeons or events.

"The reward will still take over forty minutes to arrive," Erix spoke as he sat on a chair under the Dreanox tree and others also took their positions at the round table and sat on chairs.

"After getting the rewards, how about we go use our Cosmic Arcade Tickets?" Rin said with a thoughtful expression. "Since only Isabela, Aria, you, and I have the tickets, we should go there and return… possibly before the Blue Maw pirate kingdom's group arrives here."

"That would be the best," Lilith nodded. "Leave right after getting the rewards."

"Lilith, can a Reverend-order powerhouse break this Sanctuary Area's mystic barrier?" Erix asked, his expression heavy.

"Not by using their personal combat," Lilith shook her head before she wryly smiled, "However, they must have capabilities and items to create a formation that can break it."

"That's troubling," Isabella furrowed her brows.

Aria pouted. "That's not good."

"These Sanctuary Areas save lives and prevent them from dying and also revive people during World Boss when it is activated with Veil…" Lilith said and paused for half a second before she continued, "All of that requires Mystic Root's powers, but I am not sure if Mystic Root will reintact a Sanctuary Area if it breaks once."

"Moreover, we don't know how much force the Blue Maw pirate kingdom's group is bringing with them, and we have no idea how they would execute their plan to acquire slaves," Lilith shook her head.

"We can't make any major plans or moves. Most of what we do will be plainly useless if they decide to be aggressive," Lilith added with a dry laugh. "In the worst case, we'll just have to run away if the difference in power is too big."

"But this Integration of planet with Blessed Island might give us a way," Lilith added with narrowed eyes. "Erix, you said you encountered someone before, but did he see the blessed island?"

"We were high above the Blessed Island, so he might have seen it," Erix doubtfully nodded. "But I can't be sure."

"Yep," Rin nodded. "His focus was on us, and I don't know if he recognized the Blessed Island properly."

Lilith sighed in relief.

"Then it's fine. Blessed Island's outer barrier acts as a sort that hides its signature presence, so he must have seen it as a normal floating island with a barrier formation on it."

"But if the Reverend-order powerhouses inspect it carefully, the cat will be out of the bag," Lilith wryly smiled.

"Is it a trouble if they see the Blessed Island?" Aria asked.

"Most likely, yes," Lilith nodded. "But only if they have a way to snatch the Blessed Island from Erix. Since Erix is the owner, he can also trigger self-destruction of the Island and they should know it. To acquire this cosmic treasure that can grow to big heights, they need to have a proper plan."

"We can't say if they have it or not, but we should still camouflage this island," Lilith suggested.

"Yes, we should camouflage it," Maleina nodded with a firm expression. "As far as I remember, the Blue Maw Pirate Kingdom itself is on a massive Blessed Island that's upgraded multiple times."

Everyone was startled.

"Maleina's world was annexed by them, so she knows," Lilith nodded.

"Yes, but I don't think they will come here with their main base," Maleina said. "This planet doesn't require that much attention. But we should still hide the presence of Blessed Island and prevent them from finding out."

"Let's do it right now," Erix said as he stood up while the floating Blessed Island started moving towards the other side of the Labyrinth Tower where it was all the wilderness.

"We'll place it here and also remove the barrier, what do you say?" Erix asked.

"Barrier is fine," Lilith smiled. "It gives protection and privacy, and acts as a proper camouflage once I create a formation around it."

"We'll create a formation around the island to hide it further," Lily said. "We won't need to camouflage once the Island integrates with the planet, but it will still help us if they come here before the tournament ends."

"Yep, then let's create the formation while waiting for the reward. What do we have to do?" Rin asked.

"Erix, produce Tier-6 or higher materials of multiple types of your choice. I need 100 kilograms of them," Lilith said, a glint passing through her. "I might as well create a Hybrid Formation that can act as a camouflage and attack both. For attack, I can only use it once, but we can use it to injure and obstruct a single Reverend-order for some seconds."

"Seconds?" Aria weakly smiled.

"Yes, darling," Lilith chuckled. "We don't have higher-tiered resources to make a stronger formation."

"I have four different Tier-7 materials too," Erix grinned. "Should I produce just Tier-7?"

"And we are forgetting some leftover materials from Zerian clans," Rin coldly chuckled. "They were making a pretty big formation with materials ranging from Tier-7 to Tier-9. They should have some."

"We have emptied them, so let's search the warehouse and ask for other clans if they have some high-tiered materials " Isabella smiled. "You and I can handle that."

"Yep," Rin nodded.

Suddenly Amu appeared before Lilith and grinned widely, "Don't forget about me. I have some materials and knowledge of formations too. You got any formation recipe or you were just planning to construct a makeshift one?"

"Makeshift one with the knowledge of an Empyrean-order formation," Lilith wryly smiled.

"Alright, then let's cook something better," Amu said with a prideful smile. "I'll take out the materials I have."

The slime became ten times bigger like the size of a two-story house and opened its mouth before releasing a bunch of materials and resources.

"Thank you, Amu" Aria smiled.

"Alright, then let's get to work," Erix grinned and sat down cross-legged while spewing out materials. "Take these while I produce more."

Lilith, Lily, and Maleina left with the materials from Amu and Erix while Rin and Isabella went to take exotic materials from the big warehouse of Unfettered Kingdom where they had stored things taken from clans.

Mainly the clans who were evil and didn't want to follow a proper path.

Erix remained under the Dreanox Tree and produced Metals while Aria used her Animated Spirits to help move the materials and listen to Lilith's instructions so she could put the formation flags around the Blessed Island using her Animated Spirits as per orders.

Lilith and Amu mainly assessed the materials and refined them into formation flags while brainstorming about the formation.

Everyone got as busy as bees and started working.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed by.

Erix produced 100 kg of Metals and arrived at the edge of the Island where Lilith and Amu were working.

"Lilith, you can order the top powerhouses of the Kingdom to help with the formation after we four leave," Erix said.

"Nah," Lilith shook her head. "Just put an announcement and empty the blessed Island. Lock it off for everyone other than the Pillars."

"That's right. Aria's Animated Spirits are enough manpower," Amu grinned.

"Alright, then I'll kick out everyone," Erix said with a laugh.

Soon, everyone who had become Advanced Citizens of the Unfettered Kingdom and was allowed to live and train on the Blessed Island received a notification in their U-card.

[You will be kicked out of the Blessed Island in the next five seconds. It will be locked off until further notice to do some important maintenance.]

Afterward, Erix targeted all living presence on the Island and snapped his finger, randomly teleporting all of them en mass as they arrived at various empty areas in the wilderness and city.

He basically teleported all of them randomly within a 15-kilometer radius around the island.

Soon, fifteen minutes also passed by and the announcement of rewards began along with a surprise!
