As Max waited calmly in the arena, his posture relaxed and his expression unreadable, the announcer finally received the order he had been waiting for, and when his voice rang out across the Divine Colosseum, it carried a weight that immediately set every nerve on edge.
"Everyone, the order has been given," the announcer declared loudly, his voice echoing through every corner of the colossal structure. "Max will fight the Grim Gladiator right here and now."
For a brief moment, the words seemed too heavy for the crowd to process, and then the Divine Colosseum exploded into absolute madness. Spectators leapt to their feet, screams and roars colliding into a deafening storm as excitement surged uncontrollably.
People shouted Max's name, others screamed the title of the Grim Gladiator, and many simply laughed hysterically, unable to contain themselves at the thought that the legendary battle they had only dared to imagine was about to become reality.
