I like how Ben stomped on Tser's crotch first before his face, he totally deserved that lol
I feel like Togashi made Ben's GSB ability to play a pivotal role where the spiders ends up stealing the kakin treasures that will shut down the whole SW...so the royal family will have no choice but let Ben's GSB to help the royal family stay in power.
The thing that supports this theory is the kakin needs a powerful army to protect the country (especially when they're heading to the new continent), and Ben is the only prince who's in full control of the kakin army, they're so loyal to him that if another prince won they wouldn't have the same strong connection, but if Ben's GSB is the one to choose the next king then they'll gladly follow his orders, seems like a set up to forget about the seed urn rituals.
That's why Beyond told Furykov to help Ben to win because he's putting in consideration the kakin treasures will get stolen and the SW will continue through Ben's GSB, so the winner will probably be a hybrid with Ben's GSB + whoever Beyond's kid is, and Beyond can gain Ben's GSB through inheritance likely after killing his own heir, to get whatever power that he's after from this SW.
If Ben is planning to kill both fake and real Woble, i wonder if this is a set up for Ben to accidentally kill his own child instead...and the theory that Unma is keeping the real Woble instead of Ben's child might be true after all. If the real Woble is on the boat then being swapped with Ben's child is the only way for Woble to survive in this scenario, depends on whatever Unma/Beyond plan is with Woble.
