Westora stared at him, and then he laughed. "You're very confident."
Max's expression didn't change. "I know."
A few people nearby smiled at that.
Westora looked at him a moment longer, and then his aura rose slightly.
"Fine." He lifted his chin. "If you win, you get your four hundred Bronze Marks."
A notification appeared.
[Additional wager condition accepted.]
[Winner Max Voidwalker reward: 400 Bronze Marks.]
Westora smiled coldly. "But you aren't going to win."
Max said nothing.
The Challenge Platform activated, spatial energy enveloped them both, and the fourth monolith disappeared.
A moment later, Max and Westora stood inside the same battle arena.
Two Primordials. One was an established Supernova, and the other was rising so fast that the entire outer layer had already started talking about him. Now they faced each other directly.
Inside the arena, the two of them stood in silence.
