The announcement of the official beginning of what would likely determine the next era was exhilarating, and the spectating crowd showed it. They were already shouting in excitement, seemingly rooting for their favored member.
"ASCENDANT EMPEROR WEI, CRUSH HER!"
"Show HIM why you're the PRINCESS of Everlore! The world is yours, seize it!!"
While the cheers towards Wei Wuyin were louder, more direct, those who rooted for the Princess of Everlore were seemingly more elegant in their words. To most of these non-alchemist, this battle was like a boxing match. While they understood that there might not be much excitement, likely a lot of standing and focus, they were still incredibly hyped.
They could see their idol, root and cheer, and bet on the inevitable outcome. How could they not be invested?!
