Andar glanced around his position, he had teleported to the center of the arena giving him an uninterrupted field of view of his entire surroundings, he was in the middle of a large field surrounded by an arena that extended for more than 18,000 feet (5.49 kilometers) around each side, and could contain a total of two million people. Presently, all the seats are filled.
The arena was in the shape of a square, and floating around it were hundreds of puppets that resembled flies the size of horses with comically large compound eyes that covered the top half of their torso.
These eyes were windows to the Aethernet where trillions of people on a thousand worlds watched this event with bated breath, and Andar could almost feel the weight of their gaze. There was a dull buzzing sound coming from each of the flying puppets which he knew came from billions of people commenting on the Aethernet.
Depending on how much they paid for their Aethernet services, they could either be viewing this event from a two-dimensional perspective or a full immersion experience where it would feel as if they were inside this arena.
Andar had access to a high level of Aethernet services that he rarely used apart from communicating or the occasional gaming he did with Mira to brush up on certain spells she wanted to refine.
It was not difficult to spot Mira even in the midst of the crowd, she was surrounded by fifteen Limit Breakers, who were all Rank 1 Mages. The robes they wore were black and silver, the same as Andar's color, in commemoration of their leader. They were holding up a large banner titled– Limit Breakers.
Recently, the popularity of this group has soared, and countless endorsements and rewards have streamed into this elite group, boosting the strength of their members. Currently, it was the most sought-after student group in the Black Tower, but Andar had restricted the acceptance of new members until they were properly vetted.
So in the nearly two decades that the Limit Breaker group had existed, there were only fifteen new members added. All of them were premier geniuses with a bright future, plus they were all fiercely loyal to Andar and Mira.
Andar smiled at them as his gaze was blocked by dozens of flying puppets who sought to capture every expression he was making.
If he wanted he could try to isolate a single puppet in his consciousness and decipher the words and messages bouncing around inside the Aethernet they were hosting, but that would be foolhardy and a waste of his spiritual power with no benefit to him, he did not want to know about the latest gossip or what these trillions of people thought about him, he would rather be brushing up on his masteries.
Above the arena were sleek golden platforms that carried the fifteen Arch mages that were here for today's event.
All the Arch mages of the Black Tower were present including the Steward, the rest were Archmages of the various six Great Towers plus three Arch mages from the Alchemist Union and the CTB– Central Transportation Bureau.
The only missing representatives were Arch mages from the Great Tower of Fire. The only Supreme Tower that was situated in the Magus Supreme World. Members of this Tower were from the direct bloodline of Endirius the Supreme Arch mage and they rarely left their Tower, instead it was expected that whatever great event that occurred should be brought to their doorstep.
