Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and filled the room. Enzo had already risen early. He made his way to the living room, where he found the rest of the team had already gathered. They were sitting together, deep in discussion about the trial that lay ahead.

"Good morning, everyone!" Enzo greeted with a smile.

The team members turned toward him, their faces lighting up in smiles upon seeing Enzo.

"Enzo Lord, you're here!" Jordan was the first to approach him. "We were just discussing today's trial."

Enzo nodded and walked over to join them, sitting down in their midst. He picked up a document and began reading it carefully. This was the file Stephen Curry had handed him yesterday, detailing the trial's content and rules.

"Today's trial is divided into two parts," Enzo said after finishing the document. "The first part is a simulated scenario response, where we'll face a series of emergencies. We'll need to make decisions and lead the team to handle them within a set time. The second part is a practical exercise, where we'll compete against teams from other planets to test our teamwork and combat abilities."

"Sounds challenging!" Bruce Brown chuckled.

"Indeed, but I'm confident we can pass this trial," Enzo replied firmly.

The team members nodded in agreement. They knew that as long as Enzo was with them, there was no challenge they couldn't overcome.

"Alright, everyone, let's get ready," Enzo said. "We'll head to the trial site soon."

The team members stood up to prepare. They organized their gear and supplies, following Enzo to the trial location. Along the way, they continued discussing strategies and important points to keep in mind, ensuring everyone was fully prepared.

Soon, they arrived at the trial site. Teams from various planets had already gathered, and the atmosphere was tense yet filled with excitement. Enzo led Alfa's team to their designated spot, where they stood and waited for the trial to begin.

"Attention, contestants!" A booming voice echoed across the field. "The trial is about to begin! Please get ready!"

As the voice faded, the trial officially commenced.

The first part of the trial was the simulated scenario response. Enzo and his team were placed in a virtual interstellar environment where they had to deal with a series of emergency situations and make decisions on the fly. These scenarios included starship malfunctions, alien attacks, and resource shortages, among others.

"Everyone, listen up! The ship's engines have malfunctioned!" Enzo quickly assessed the situation on the virtual screen and issued commands loudly. "Bruce, check the engine's status and attempt repairs. Jordan, take a team and repel the alien attack. Kehl, monitor the surroundings and report any new threats. Liliana, oversee the overall situation and coordinate our actions."

The team sprang into action, following Enzo's orders with precision. Bruce, using his mechanical expertise, began inspecting the ship's engine. Jordan, wielding his sword, led a group of teammates to engage the alien creatures in intense combat. Kehl took a high vantage point and skillfully used his archery to eliminate distant enemies. Liliana kept a sharp eye on the virtual screen, analyzing data and constantly adjusting their tactics.

Through their collective effort, they successfully handled the first emergency. The ship's engine was repaired, the alien invaders were driven back, and the resource shortage was alleviated. Enzo watched his teammates, their eyes filled with determination and their coordination seamless, feeling a surge of pride and satisfaction.

"Excellent work, everyone!" Enzo praised them. "Keep up this momentum, and we will pass every trial."

The team nodded in agreement, their confidence strengthened. In the following simulated scenarios, they continued to display exceptional problem-solving skills and team spirit. Whether facing an attack by space pirates, dealing with an internal planetary rebellion, or responding to a sudden natural disaster, they were able to make swift decisions and lead their team through each challenge.

After the first part of the trial concluded, Enzo and his team took a brief rest to prepare for the second part: the live combat exercise.

The live combat exercise began. Enzo led Alfa's team into a confrontation with teams from other planets. They were divided into two groups and plunged into an intense battle on a virtual interstellar battlefield.

"Stay coordinated, don't act alone!" Enzo commanded loudly. "We must use our teamwork and combat skills to defeat the enemy!"

The team nodded in understanding and began to deploy according to the tactical plan. Jordan charged forward, sword in hand, engaging the enemy in close combat. Bruce remained hidden, using Shadow Magic to launch surprise attacks and disrupt the enemy's movements. Kehl stood at a distance, picking off enemies with his precise arrows. Liliana, as the central commander, coordinated the overall strategy and adjusted their tactics as needed.

Under Enzo's command and with the combined efforts of the team, Alfa's squad gradually gained the upper hand. They continuously repelled the enemy's attacks, steadily bringing the battlefield under their control.

"Great job, everyone! Keep pushing!" Enzo shouted, his voice full of excitement. "We're going to win this!"

Just as victory seemed within reach, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

Draymond Green suddenly appeared on the battlefield, holding a staff and unleashing a powerful wave of Shadow Magic.

"Draymond, what are you doing?" Enzo exclaimed, stunned. He hadn't expected Draymond Green to launch a surprise attack at this critical moment.

Draymond Green sneered. "Enzo, did you really think I would sit by and watch you become the Chief Marshal of the Star League? I will never allow a representative from a small planet to lead us!"

Enzo glared at Draymond Green. "Draymond, this is treason against the Star League! Aren't you afraid of the consequences?"

Draymond Green scoffed. "Consequences? Once I become the Chief Marshal of the Star League, who's going to punish me? Today, you're all going to surrender!"

With that, he launched another devastating attack. The battlefield was soon consumed by the destructive force of his Shadow Magic, putting enormous pressure on Alfa's team.

"Everyone, stay alert!" Enzo shouted, his voice rising above the chaos. "We need to unite and fight back against Draymond!"

The team quickly responded to Enzo's rallying cry, coordinating their efforts more closely to withstand Draymond Green's assault. Jordan charged forward, sword raised, engaging Draymond Green in close combat. Bruce used his own Shadow Magic to interfere with Draymond's attacks, launching surprise strikes. Kehl took his position at a distance, using his expert archery to target Draymond Green. Liliana, as the core strategist, continued to direct the overall strategy and adjust their tactics.

However, Draymond Green's power was immense, and his Shadow Magic pushed Alfa's team into a desperate struggle. They were continuously overwhelmed by his attacks.

"What do we do now?" Liliana asked, her voice tinged with panic.

Enzo furrowed his brow, deep in thought. He knew they had to find a way to break Draymond Green's offensive, or Alfa's team would be doomed.

At that moment, Cruise Main stepped forward. His eyes were determined as he fixed his gaze on Draymond Green. "Let me handle him!" he said.

Without waiting for a response, Cruise Main charged toward Draymond Green. His own Shadow Magic began to swirl around him, creating black vortexes that rushed toward Draymond Green like a torrent.

Draymond Green's expression shifted slightly as he saw the challenge approaching. He hadn't anticipated that Cruise Main would dare to confront him directly. But he quickly regained his composure, raising his staff to meet Cruise Main's powerful assault.

The two forces of Shadow Magic collided in the battlefield, weaving together into a bizarre and mesmerizing scene. Their battle was fierce beyond measure, with Shadow Energy clashing and exploding continuously, making the entire battlefield tremble with each shockwave.

Enzo watched the intense confrontation between Cruise Main and Draymond Green, feeling a swell of pride and relief. He knew that Cruise Main was a brave and powerful warrior, capable of going toe-to-toe with Draymond Green.

"Keep fighting, everyone!" Enzo shouted, his voice filled with determination. "We need to buy time for Cruise!"

The team quickly responded to Enzo's command, attacking the enemy with renewed vigor, working together to buy Cruise Main more time and space. Through their combined efforts, Draymond Green's relentless onslaught began to waver, and the tide of the battle slowly shifted in Alfa's favor.

But just when victory seemed within their grasp, a far more dangerous situation arose.

Draymond Green suddenly unleashed his ultimate Shadow Magic—Shadow Burst! The entire battlefield was immediately engulfed in a dark, oppressive Shadow Energy, and a massive sphere of Shadow Energy formed, surging toward Alfa's team.

"Everyone, watch out!" Enzo shouted in shock. He quickly summoned his own elemental energy to form a shield in an attempt to block the incoming Shadow Energy sphere. But the force behind the sphere was overwhelming, and Enzo's shield began to crack under the pressure.

"What do we do now?" The team members exclaimed in panic.

In this critical moment, Cruise Main stepped forward with resolute determination. He unleashed his ultimate Shadow Magic—Shadow Devour! Forming intricate hand seals, a massive Shadow Vortex appeared before him, beginning to consume the surrounding Shadow Energy.

The Shadow Energy sphere, now engulfed by the vortex, began to lose its potency. Gradually, under Cruise Main's relentless effort, the sphere's energy diminished, and finally, it dissipated completely.

Seeing this, Draymond Green's face drained of color. He hadn't expected Cruise Main to counter his ultimate move. Realizing that he had been defeated, he turned and fled the battlefield, disappearing into the distance.

"We did it!" Enzo shouted, his voice full of exhilaration. "Great job, everyone!"

The team erupted in cheers, basking in the joy of their victory. They felt immense pride, not just in their personal achievements, but in what this victory meant for the entire planet of Alfa and the Star League.

However, just as they were celebrating their success, a new and even more daunting challenge loomed ahead.
