Suthia's question was one Renji couldn't answer.
The only way to find all the answers was to continue exploring Nova's past story.
Renji soon re-entered the Gulase base arena, returning to the decision point that had emerged during the last "Evil Dragon Dream."
In this final match against Nova's mother, Renji intentionally lost to Noya, allowing Noya to become the champion gladiator of this edition of the arena.
Indeed, the dream didn't collapse as it had initially, and the story continued, proving this was the correct choice and a factual past event.
Whether it was the attention that came with being the champion, her extraordinary strength and unparalleled swordsmanship, or being the first female gladiator to win the championship, Noya accumulated a massive fanbase. The atmosphere at the venue peaked, and Renji felt that, in modern terms, Nova's mother definitely had a huge follower.
The arena officials were naturally overjoyed as if hit by a golden egg, knowing the arena's attendance would soar to new heights because of Noya's presence. Just the daily ticket sales could potentially double.
The officials also intentionally promoted Noya, pushing her popularity to a new level, holding a grand championship ceremony for her and offering a prize money several times higher than usual to motivate Noya and, in a way, to woo her.
Although most gladiators are slaves of the arena, as long as one has strong abilities, can make a name for themselves, and win the audience's love, like Noya with her massive popularity, the arena officials are not fools. Businesspeople prefer peace, and there was even an intention to please Nova's mother.
Noya proposed that, from now on, gladiators should no longer use lethal force against their opponents.
When an opponent has already surrendered or lost the ability to fight, gladiators should no longer harm them just for the sake of causing injury.
Initially, not many gladiators paid attention to Noya's proposal, even finding it absurd and laughable, scoffing at it, even though Noya was the strongest in the arena and the champion of this edition.
After all, how many years of bloodshed had continued in the arena, and now Noya was delusively trying to change this environment? It was just a female gladiator's wishful thinking, typical of women to indulge in unrealistic fantasies.
Even the behind-the-scenes organizers of the arena didn't take it seriously, thinking Noya was using this as a way to package herself.
Until
At the end of that day's arena matches, after the audience had enjoyed several thrilling fights and were about to leave, Noya appeared, and her target was very clear.
Those gladiators who had not adhered to her "advocacy" today became the targets of Noya's challenges.
This move shocked everyone. No one expected that the privilege Noya had requested would be used in this way.
These gladiators were quickly gathered and forced to enter the arena again. Yes, Noya found challenging them one by one too troublesome, so she had them all enter together.
This battle royale, with the former female gladiator champion as the protagonist, instantly excited the spectators, prompting them to buy tickets and stay, with many starting to bet wildly.
The arena organizers realized Noya's intention, but faced with such popularity and increased revenue, plus having granted Noya such a privilege, they did not stop her.
The match ended in less than ten minutes, with only Noya left standing in the arena. All the other gladiators were killed by her, one by one. The scene was extremely bloody, with the corpses of seven or eight gladiators strewn around Noya, showing everyone for the first time the Dragonkin's murderous side.
