Chapter 432: King of Mirage
Translator: AbyssrulerEditor: Lucas
The expressions of the team members of every team were grave. It was obvious that the attention of Arbiter's team members was not on the Mayans. They were much more serious than usual when watching the Atlanteans.
This type of switch between virtual and reality had already reached an unimaginable stage. This was different from the Mayans. The Mayans had relied on surprising moves to win. But once the wonders were done being deciphered, the Arbiter would not care so much about it. However, the people of Atlantis were different. Their virtual and reality rune technique was indeed terrifying, and it was even more terrifying for the pilot himself. Both the people of Atlantis and Maya could be considered half man, but it was just that Atlantis pursued spiritual evolution, while the Mayans pursued energy evolution. And from the current situation, it seemed that it was still the people of Atlantis in the lead.
"The Specter King was able to do many consecutive warps. Isn't that just overpowered? How is that possible?" Zhang Shan said blankly. Warping was the trump card that he was relying on to become famous, but it seemed like child's play in front of the people of Atlantis.
The speed of their warp might really be a little bit slower than the theoretical speed of a true warp. However, the opponent was able to warp continuously.
The key thing was that even up till the end, you still did not know whether the one which were you battling with was the energy body or the main body.
This was the power of the Specter King.
And what's more, the rune ability of the opponent had not been completely exhibited.
This was how the people of Atlantis were?
Even though they had heard countless of times about the legends of Atlantis' warriors, legends were still legends. This time they had witnessed it with their own eyes, and this type of stress was saturating the air.
The second round!
Ao Ziwei from the Gemini team stood up. For Gemini, there was no way out. The people of Atlantis did not give them too many chances. Combining their skills, strengths, and battle accomplishments, they had already reached an unfathomable stage.
The performance of the Mayans was very stunning, but it was their mech that was stunning. But for the Atlanteans, all of them were stunning.
The little prince of Atlantis, Hao Lin, was fairly calm and collected. From the beginning till the end, he was carrying a smile, and he was currently chatting softly with Aina.
Aslan had already been eliminated, so they were now spectators.
"Azhas is even steadier than before. His energy advancement has probably improved by a grade," Aina said.
Hao Lin smiled. "Actually, and I am not very sure of all this, but the warriors for this year were indeed sent out by the temple, and my mother very much approved of them."
"Oh, you did not do this in the past? Why are you all so insistent in winning the championship this year?"
Aina asked. One must know that in the past, the people of Atlantis did not show a strong desire of winning the championship, and many times it was due to the need for political stability. However, this time there was a bit of an exception. The whole team seemed to be extra tyrannical.
"Well, it is not necessarily guaranteed that we will win the championship," Hao Lin said seriously.
Both of them looked at each other. If it was another person, they would definitely have thought that the little prince was being humble. But Aina knew that that was not that case.
The gaze of the little prince was on the Solar System Federation.
All along, Aina had always thought that regardless of where Wang Zheng was placed, he would be an elite. This was something that there was no need to doubt. After all, it was the person whom she liked. However, now it seemed a little different. Wang Zheng's excellence had already exceeded her imagination.
had she found a treasure?
It seemed as though this treasure was the one who found her instead…
Gaining the acknowledgement of the people of Atlantis was something that was very hard to achieve.
Facing the burning gaze of Ao Ziwei, Bordia could not sit still for any longer. He laughed and stood up. "Let me go up for the second round."
The other team members did not have any objections. It was just that there was not much need for Bordia to get up so for such a tiny situation. However, victory was not the most important thing. The three teams that entered the semifinals before them had already showcased their momentum and style. The craziness of the Arbiters, the mystery of the Mayans, and the tenacity of the Solar System Federation. And so, what would Atlantis be?
Ao Ziwei chose her Victory Goddess. She was not sure whether it would bring about victory for her this time around.
Once Bordia appeared, the whole audience was caught up in a strange atmosphere. Everyone was staring with wide eyes. The elite warriors of every nation was present. However, facing Bordia, the number one pilot of the younger generation of Atlantis, it was kind of like seeing an idol. Bordia was not famous among the ordinary citizens; however, in the eyes of the top pilots of every nation, his name was known throughout the whole world ever since he was very little.
At six years old, he was chosen by the temple. At 12 years old, he became a knight of the temple. Atlantis did not like to make things public, but all these things proved how talented Bordia was. He was a household name in Atlantis, and he was acclaimed to be the talent of the century in Atlantis. His prospects were limitless.
From this point, Azhas was similar to him. However, the difference was that Bordia was milder. At the same time, while he was practicing, he had a strong interest in the different cultures and techniques of every nation and every ethnic group of the Milky Way Alliance. As for Azhas, he was focused on everything about Atlantis.
Bordia, the one who had learned widely from the strong points of others, was ultimately elected as the team leader. But how strong was he truly?
Bordia chose the Phantom King.
Lear and the rest could not help but to take a look at Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng had used it before. Even though it might've been by chance and he did not know, it was an eye-opening miracle from the heavens, and it was indeed very awesome.
The King series of mecha from Atlantis was also acclaimed as the King of all other series of mecha in the Milky Way Alliance. Up till now, there was no one who could compete against it. By just looking at the functionality of the mecha, perhaps only the Mayans would be able to challenge it now. But ultimately, whether or not it could undergo the tests of combat, it would still require time to verify it.
And ever since the King series mecha of the Atlanteans was born, they were equally unfathomable to the common man. Runes combined with the pilots resulted in the countless changes in battle strength of Atlantis, and mecha were merely a part of it.
Victory Goddess against the Phantom King.
This was definitely one which everyone focused their attentions upon.
The two mecha appeared in the training ground. The unique characteristic of the people of Gemini was that even if their opponent was as strong as God, they would still maintain their own dignity in battles.
Never timid, never petty, and never low!
The beam saber was unsheathed. The Victory Goddess let out a rumbling sound, and in an instant, with an adept move, she charged towards her opponent.
Long distance attacks were not Ao Ziwei's personal strength. Even though she did not know the level of her opponent, she would fight him on her own terms!
The runes of the Phantom King mech lit up, and the beam saber was unsheathed.
Boom...
Even though Ao Ziwei was a girl and had a petite build, you could treat her as a compressed version of a female tyrannosaurus.
The beam saber sliced down abruptly, and the Phantom King let out a buzzing, vibrating reaction.
The Phantom King itself could resist the beam saber strike of Ao Ziwei. However, in the instant when the beam saber of Ao Ziwei came into contact with the Phantom King, a substantial vibration could be felt within the Phantom King, and it would continuously consume the defensive energy of the mech.
The was the Ability X of Ao Ziwei, and her ability gave her the strength to attack with vibrational waves.
In other words, this also meant that the attacks of Ao Ziwei could not be resisted. Regardless of energy shields or any defense, it would be disintegrated during the process of attacking and defending.
And evidently, after coming into touch with it, Bordia had realised this point, and his mech was damaged from the vibrations.
However, Bordia had no intention of dodging. On the contrary, he purposely let the Phantom King endure this type of force.
Ao Ziwei understood thoroughly that this super genius from Atlantis was currently studying her and trying to understand her ability. For the people of Atlantis, they did not study to make use of some kind of ability, but rather they studied to adequately understand it so that they would know how to deal with the ability the next time they were faced with it.
It was clear that Bordia was doing this not for himself, but for all the warriors of Atlantis. Among the books of Atlantis, there was a comprehensive collection that touched on all aspects of battle information. This was something which generations and generations of the people of Atlantis had continued to add upon, and among the younger generation, Bordia had received this honor, where he was able to include his own understandings into Atlantis' comprehensive collection which had been handed down for many years.
And it was obvious that this ability of Ao Ziwei had qualified to be part of this heritage.
After a round of violent attacks, the rune defense energy was already in a state of emergency. During the whole process, Bordia was being passive and was getting thrashed. He had no intention of fighting back, but the ability which Ao Ziwei had used to knock Sirius away in the last battle was merely causing abrasions to the enemy.
But even so, the strength of Ao Ziwei could still be seen. If the opponent was evenly matched with her, the victory would definitely have belonged to the people of Gemini.
At this point, the Phantom King would likely only be able to take three more hits.
This was a point which both Ao Ziwei and Bordia knew. He was currently analyzing the destructive power of the vibrations of this type of Ability X that was rarely seen. It was probably about one-fifth of the user's attacking power. Pretty stunning, and very formidable regardless of whether it was a close distance battle or team battle.
Ao Ziwei was not concerned about what her opponent was intending to do, she would not miss any opportunity to obtain victory.
The Victory Goddess paused slightly. Under the stimulation of Ability X, the beam saber had rays of lights radiating all around. The range of vibrations expanded by one time, and thoroughly enveloped the Phantom King, to not allow him to run away at all. It would be a fatal blow!
The beam saber was three times bigger, the vibrations range was two times bigger, and the energy shield was fully intact.
She was going to accomplish the whole task with one strike!
The Phantom King, who was getting trashed all along, suddenly shook a little. Bang…
It disappeared!
In a flash, a series of remnant shadows were being pulled apart. In a distance of 10 meters away, two Phantom Kings appeared, and two laser guns were booming simultaneously.
Ao Ziwei activated her energy shield and at the same time tried to avoid the shots. However, her speed was slightly slow, and she was hit by both Phantom Kings. But Ao Ziwei did not stop, and her energy shield was firmly trying to withstand all of it. The engine of the Victory Goddess rumbled, and with an adept move, it charged towards the Phantom King on the left.
This was the real one!
From the perception of her energy vibrations, she was able to determine which one was the real thing!
However, in the instant when the Victory Goddess dashed forward violently, the two Phantom Kings swayed at the same time and disappeared once again.
A real Phantom King appeared behind the Victory Goddess, and the beam saber sliced down!
It could barely be considered a counterattack. The whole process was quick like a flash. To other people, it would seem that they had no idea what had happened. From one it became two, and from two it became one. Fleeing here and there, and it appeared behind Ao Ziwei out of nowhere.
But the key thing was that Ao Ziwei was forcefully maneuvering with all her strength just now to reach her highest speed to attack her opponent.
This was an outdated move, and this was the understanding which experts had for battles. And once they attacked, you would realize that you would have no chance to counterattack. And at this moment, Ao Ziwei had already become a lamb that was waiting to be slaughtered.
Moreover, her remaining energy shield would definitely not be able to withstand the Phantom King.
Sure enough, when the sword sliced down, the energy shield broke. However, the beam saber did not slice through.
This was because a bright, white light from a rippling forcefield blocked the attack.
Making use of this opportunity, the Victory Goddess of Ao Ziwei suddenly turned over, and her sword swept outwards! The attack had great momentum, much like a tornado, like it could cut her opponent into two.
This was also the final trump card and the most unrivalled ability of Ao Ziwei. It was her second Ability X, and to be more precise, it was an evolution of her force field ability - Absolute Defense.
For just one second, it could defend against practically any attack.
