Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1348 End of Day 1

"Max. MAX. MAX. MAX. MAX." The cheers exploded like a massive surge right after his last fight concluded, sweeping through the Divine Colosseum with overwhelming power that silenced all other noises, as countless voices blended into a booming roar repeating his name over and over.

"We'll hold out for tomorrow's fights, Max. Prove your invincibility again tomorrow," a voice yelled with wild enthusiasm, breaking as the thundering audience engulfed it.

"Max, we'll be here for you tomorrow," another call rang out, met with bursts of laughter and applause while more fans started expressing their hopes.

"I sense Max will claim victory in all three matches tomorrow too," a person declared assuredly, speaking as though the results were set in stone.

"Max, you're the only one who can topple the Grim Gladiator, so don't let us down—keep claiming those wins," yet another bellowed, their words brimming with eager hope instead of just amusement.

As Max made his way out of the arena step by step, the relentless chants of his name pursued him, echoing into every nook of the Divine Colosseum until the structure itself seemed to vibrate with his echo.

The thrill buzzing among the spectators was something the colosseum hadn't witnessed in ages, leaving many more pumped for the next day's clashes than any famed bout from the past.

Heading to the underground tunnel, Max gave a slight shake of his head as an idea flickered through his thoughts, finding the uproar he'd ignited rather entertaining. He pondered whether he really had some odd allure, since with minimal work he'd gotten folks from all walks to root for him with real fire.

Not until Max's form had fully vanished from the arena did the audience start to settle, their shouts dying down into buzzing talks and ongoing eagerness.

Still, that electric energy didn't completely fade, for what Max had sparked in just one day was an achievement others couldn't pull off in years.

Plenty couldn't stop imagining what might unfold if he ever beat the Grim Gladiator, as that mere idea seemed capable of sending the whole colosseum into frenzy.

"Is this the human Lady Virelia selected?" a man in his middle years murmured softly from an elevated spot, his grave stare locked on the deserted arena. Dressed in elegant, sophisticated attire, he exuded a grave demeanor that marked him as far from a regular onlooker.

"Indeed, Lord Arckin," his fellow middle-aged companion answered deferentially while positioned at his side, his stance showing clear subordination. "That's him."

"This Max is quite the prodigy," Lord Arckin remarked with a drawn-out breath, his gaze sharpening a bit as he reflected. "Our orders were to quietly draw Max into the Grims Family, but that seems out of reach now."

Admiration mixed with worry colored his voice as he went on. "Never expected he'd opt for battling in the Divine Colosseum over silent mining work, only to stir up such a huge storm in one day."

"Lord Arckin, if you desire, we could just whisk Max out of the Divine Colosseum discreetly," the underling suggested with a subtle grin, his words laced with assured poise that hinted at ready methods to pull it off easily.

"No, that'd only rouse too much doubt from the Heron Family," Lord Arckin countered, creasing his brow a touch while keeping his eyes on the vacant arena below.

After a short moment of musing, he spoke once more, his tone steady and composed. "Allow Max to challenge the Grim Gladiator. Should he triumph, we'll bring him in just as Lady Virelia directed. This keeps us from alerting the other key families. If he falls, we might need to shake up the Divine Colosseum entirely."

"Lord Arckin, wouldn't that stir even greater disorder?" the subordinate questioned, his face turning grave as he raised the issue. "Letting Max keep fighting for two more days and even take on the Grim Gladiator would spread his name everywhere. By that point, I suspect even those beyond Ascension Planet - 076 - Shikon would know of him."

He halted for a second before pressing on, underscoring his view. "The Grim Gladiator stands as a legend in the Divine Colosseum and across all of Ascension Planet Shikon. Defeating him would launch Max's fame to heights that other big families couldn't ignore."

"I'm aware," Lord Arckin stated gravely, his words showing he'd weighed these risks. "Yet we're in Heron Family grounds right now, and snatching Max by force would spark huge turmoil. Don't assume no elder figures lurk here—they're just hidden away, observing it all. Thus, grabbing him outright isn't feasible."

Then he appended evenly, "We'll bide our time until Max gains his liberty, then extend a public invitation for him to join. That leaves no room for the Heron Family or the Divine Colosseum to meddle, and if things go south, Lady Virelia will step in herself, I wager."

The aide gave a quiet nod nearby, grasping the depth of Lord Arckin's statement and seeing that restraint was their best move for the moment.

From the audience seats, watching as Max's shape at last slipped into the underground path, Jaden faced Lucia and whispered, "Will you be here for tomorrow's fights?"

"Naturally, why not?" Lucia shot back with a broad smile, her gaze still sparkling with curiosity toward the exit Max had taken. "His talent's off the charts. He could turn into my competitor someday, so let's savor his matches while we're free to do so."

Jaden gave a gradual nod, accepting Lucia's take, even if inwardly she doubted Max could ever match up to Lucia as a rival.

To her, such a scenario overstated Max's abilities, since his current skill, though surpassing her expectations, would need to hit the absolute top among Divine Realm prodigies to rival Lucia.

Achieving that wasn't just about raw gift.

All the same, Jaden had to admit Max's promise was frightening, but she figured it'd demand centuries or millennia for his power to near Lucia's, assuming he pulled it off.
