SIMULATION
THE COLOSSEUM*

Finally, the exciting day arrived. A fight between President Morlan's camp and President Roman's camp was held.

The Colosseum in the history books is an ancient Roman building for the Gladiatorial games.

Now, the Colosseum is also present in the Great Ruler. However, the shape of the building is not like the historic building.

The Colosseum in the Great Ruler is more like a large capsule with the top covered. It was functioned to prevent the escape of match participants who have the ability to fly or climb, and protect participants from outside threats above the sky during the match.

While on the bench of the audience, a protector will appear automatically in the form of a glass wall with anti-laser and bulletproof capabilities if it feels a threat to attack.

Automatic armament is also installed under the floodlights that illuminate every movement of the contestants in the arena in case of a riot.

All types of matches can be done in a place similar to a stadium with a capacity of 10,000 people in it.

Not just anyone can go inside. Only people with an interest and on the invitation list are allowed to sit on the bench.

The Colosseum was immediately filled with invited guests who attended earlier than the game at 10am local time.

Everyone seemed impatient to watch the match of their two now disputing Presidents.

"Honored ladies and gentlemen. Today, a matchup of the Technology Division under President Roman, to be fought against the Biological Science Division under President Morlan, is about to begin. Give a great welcome to our two representatives!"

Simultaneously, the seated spectators filled the Colosseum stood up and clapped. The host for the day's contest was Vice President Lala, wife of President Roman. However, Vice President Lala did not side with the two.

"This time. President Roman will demonstrate the capabilities of his new robot from the development of the Level B generation. It is lighter, more agile, and has the latest weaponry features that have not been applied to some robots before. Let's welcome B-One!" vice President Lala pointed to a gate made of iron. The black gate slowly lifted upwards.

Everyone applauded when a robot came out carrying a laser spear, although it was not as strong as a typical B-level robot. The audience seemed hesitant because the robot seemed weak.

"B-One is controlled by the Colosseum which is now in the Simulator room with our experts who will help operate it" Lala said.

"Bother! You're supposed to make a self-contained robot without the help of an officer and a computer, Roman! You're wasting time!" insinuations of Morlan, but ignored by Roman.

"Hoo!" said the audience who disagreed with Morlan's judgment.

"OK easy. It is forbidden to blaspheme each other during Adu Tanding. This is a warning, President Morlan. If you disobey the rules of the Adu Tanding Colosseum, severe punishment awaits you" Lala pointed out and Morlan nodded slowly.

Vice President Lala was seen trying to remain calm in responding to this. All the spectators were silent again and waiting for the continuation of the information to be conveyed.

"Next, the gate that is still closed on my left side, there is a mysterious creature that you have never seen before" said Lala with a cruel face showing cruelty. Everyone looked tense at once. Morlan smiled from where he was sitting. "When the beings that have been living alongside us on earth and evolved, combined with the capabilities of science and biology, created, a new creature called by President Morlan, Der-ga," said Vice President Lala with a sound berintonasi full of pressure like a wild animal groaning.

The faces of all the spectators, whether in the Colosseum or at home, were pale when the iron door opened.

"Oh, my, God!" squeak Tony who got a seat on Captain's row in the second row from under the robot USER in the Colosseum.

Everyone's eyes were wide-eyed when they saw how terrifying the monster was who had no idea what it looked like before becoming a mutant.

"Yes, God. May the Colosseum be well. Even though the one who fought was a robot, but really, I still imagine that inside the robot is him" Eliz said, biting his fingernails in panic.

The mutant is twice as tall as the B-One Robot. People began to guess the mix of species from the mutants.

His head was like a shark, but it had hands like an insect. The animal can stand on two legs like a human. People shuddered in horror imagining if it was a human being coupled with an animal.

Roman tapped his right index finger on the back of his stand with the look of his eyes fixed on his twin brother who was opposite he was sitting.

"Yes, Sir?" ask Commander Akira through the earphone connection in the right ear. A call from President Roman.

"Only within a day could Morlan create a mutant. This is suspicious and absurd, Akira. Investigate, while Morlan and his men are here. Go after Kermogal and find other dangerous creatures. Get rid of them all!" both Roman and Akira said they were ready.

Tony holds Akira's arm as his friend leaves the bench as Commander of the Category A Mine SDA Division.

"Where are you going?" tony looked at him sharply.

"I'll bring my men and all the robots to check on Kermogal. President Roman suspects that another mutant is being hidden there. Stay right here. I saw the President very seriously this time," Akira and Tony both said.

"It's awful. What kind of creature is that? Why could there be such a murderous creature in the Great Ruler?" sandra asked, shaking until she hugged her knees which she raised on the sofa.

"Oh. I'm really glad Tony's not the one who's fighting. I can't see him if he gets hurt because of this fight" Eliz and Sandra said, nodding in agreement.

The hearts of the spectators either at home or in the Colosseum were pounding. Vice President Lala got to the trouble of continuing his remarks in shock at the appearance of the monstrous creature.

"alright. This fight is unonde. A fight is declared over until one gives up and cannot continue. Do the two sides understand this simple rule?" asked Vice President Lala to stretch both hands to the left and right sides of the place standing on a balcony 20 meters above ground level.

Roman and Morlan nodded in understanding. The mutant had not been fully released and was still confined within the iron bars that held back his movements even though the sound of his roar began to make the feathers stand up.

"START!"

THE GREKK!

"Iigghhhh!" the mutant roar that made the spectators close their ears tightly with both hands.

The mutant voice was so loud. Apparently, it makes the animals around the Colosseum and residents in the house of television viewers run away instantly.

Sandra was shocked as the mutant returned shrill. The insects that had been hiding in Eliz's house came out of hiding.

Eliz and Sandra screamed as a cockroach passed by the irregular road, turned and finally slipped out of the window that Eliz had opened in the kitchen.

Sandra followed the animals and was shocked when a group of insects headed to the Precious Stone Mine and hid behind a large rock as if fleeing.

Sandra then returned to the living room and sat on the sofa accompanying Eliz to watch the match that was about to begin.

"Yes God! I couldn't see it, Sandra," said Eliz, turning his face and covering his face with a sofa cushion in his hand.

But Sandra was even more curious. Neither the robot nor the mutant have attacked each other. They even looked at each other and walked around the arena like they were judging each other.

Until finally, "Ikkkk!"

Everyone covered their ears again as the mutant shrieked loudly and galloped with his two legs and other hands, preparing to attack B-One with sharp fingernails pointed at the robot.
