373  372: I''m Beginning To Regret The Day I Met You

    As the group of ten went to the Elevator of the Underworld in the Inner Area, the atmosphere in the minivan was no longer one of jokes and laughter, but of seriousness and solemnity.

    The entire group was focused on Divine who was about to give them information on the Battle of Chosens.

    "So, let me first say this. I was not able to find out what exactly we''re going to do in the Battle of Chosens since I''ve lost all my wealth." Divine started while having a frustrated expression.

    Before his imprisonment, he was like a billionaire, and he could use his wealth to buy any information that could be bought. However, now that he was a pauper, his sources of information refused to work with him since he was not able to provide anything of value.

    Divine continued, "I don''t know how the Battle of Chosens is going to take place. I don''t know if it''s just going to be a tournament where we''ll have to fight several people at multiple stages. It can be a tournament, or it might be like the Clown Games we partook in. And just know that if The Clown is the one in charge of the Battle of Chosens, it would be something crazy."

    The entire group furrowed their brows in contemplation when they heard Divine''s words. They knew how crazy and mad The Clown was because of The Clown Games. If it was like Divine said, and The Clown was the one in charge of the Battle of Chosens, they knew they had to be extremely careful.

    "Although I wasn''t able to obtain any information on the format of the Battle of Chosens, I was able to obtain some information on the Outsiders, the people from outside the Underworld."

    Everybody stared at Divine with a focused expression. Divine rubbed his hands together with a slightly nervous smile.

    "There are a lot of Outsiders that are going to participate in the Battle of Chosens, and it''s honestly surprising." Divine exhaled deeply "So that you guys would not get confused, I''ll start listing out the groups that came from the Outside you most likely know about."

    Divine glanced at Corey, and Corey noticed this. He furrowed his brows in confusion.

    "The four temples are going to participate in the Battle of Chosens."

    Corey''s brows shot up, and his body became tense.

    "The Temple of Flames, The Temple of Water, The Temple of Earth, and The Temple of Darkness are going to participate in the Battle of Chosens."

    Divine glanced at Corey since he knew that Corey had a history with the Temple of Flames. Although he didn''t know what exactly that history was, he was sure it wasn''t anything good.

    He was worried that Corey''s mental state would be affected, and his emotions would get the better of him in the Battle of Chosens.

    When he observed Corey, although it seemed like Corey was calm and collected, Divine could see Corey''s hands trembling and his breathing was slightly hurried.

    "Apart from the Ancient Families and the last group, all the other groups are from outside our planet."

    The instant Divine finished speaking, the entire minivan became extremely quiet. In fact, the minivan had stopped moving.

    Corey, Melissa, Fatty Black Bonez, Dave, Rosa, Old Man Poison, Keifer, and even Triple X stared at Divine with their mouths wide open.

    Absolute shock, absolute disbelief, and absolute anxiety could be seen on each of their faces.

    "Cap." Fatty Black Bonez called out.

    "Yes?" Divine looked at Fatty Black Bonez with a raised brow.

    "You were joking... right?"

    Divine raised a brow, and then he chuckled nervously, " I was not. Why do you think I was nervous a few minutes ago?"

    "We should be fine... I think and I hope."

    Everybody gulped.

    "Can''t we choose not to participate in the Battle of Chosens?"

    Fatty Black Bonez asked, and everybody looked at Divine with a gaze filled with hope.

    However, Divine shattered their hope in the next second, "Because of the reputation we''ve attained, we''ll have to participate. Only Kiefer would not be allowed to participate."

    Everybody gulped, and Fatty Black Bonez cursed, "I''m beginning to regret the day I met you."
