To make a long story short, after the mid-to-strong battle, the score became 2 - 0, and the next general battle would be Michael against tired dream.
At this stage, everyone ... Including tired dream herself, felt that the loser Alliance's power was gone.
From an outsider's point of view, they would most likely be swept away and might not even have a chance to fight in the Deputy general battle. From the players 'point of view, even if they managed to turn the score back to 2 - 2, it would be impossible for teacher Chu to win match point in the final "battle of generals."
However, this "general trend" didn't affect his mentality or performance.
He, who had been teleported into the battlefield, did not retreat, nor did he feel lost. He only held the multi-story building and stood proudly. He had no distracting thoughts and only wanted to fight.
[...Two...One...Fight!]
The moment the countdown ended, tired Dream's body was still full of battle energy, which broke through the barrier and swallowed the enemy like a tsunami.
However, Michael stood in the middle of the violent flow of energy and didn't retreat even half a step. He was completely unmoved.
Wuwuwuwu
The tip of the halberd rose up, the wind blew, and tired dream was not afraid of the enemy as she charged forward with the halberd.
Michael twisted his body and grabbed the halberd with his bare hands, stopping the attack.
"The Return of the Prodigal Son is indeed extraordinary." At this moment, Michael, who was holding his opponent's weapon in place, could still speak in a calm tone."But it seems ... It's still beyond my power ..."
"Hey, hey ..." Tired dream didn't seem too surprised. He just smiled and said,"why do you sound like you know me so well?"
As he spoke, he increased the strength on his wrist and urged his Shen power again!
"What?" In that instant, not only did Michael's expression change, he was also forced to take a step back.
"By the way ... This is the first time we've met, right? who are you, brother? And ... Your team is so strong, where did you come from?" Tired dream also asked a few questions.
He wasn't the only one who had these questions. The audience and the other participants were also very interested in them.
"Ha ..." The next second, Michael laughed as well. However, he didn't answer tired Dream's question. Instead, he continued,"not bad ..." He paused for half a second before saying seriously,"come on, put in more effort. Let me see how strong you are."
"Hmph ... Sure!" Tired dream thought that the other party didn't want him to talk, so he provoked him. Since that was the case, then he would fight.
Therefore, he raised his fighting power again, urged his divine power again, raised his halberd to continue the move, and advanced his killing style.
As for Michael ...... After their previous contact, he already knew that tired dream was planning to "continuously increase the upper limit" to fight this battle. Out of 'duty', Michael decided to use a slightly higher combat strength to test and observe his opponent, so he immediately countered.
For a moment, Shen power, Saint power...The Twin poles met and surged, spreading out in all directions.
In the end, trash Alliance wasn't a team that was obsessed with victory. If they were, they wouldn't have let teacher Chu join the team.
With ambitionist's connections, would it be difficult to find a first-class expert to make up the numbers? Taking a step back, with the strength of their current members, so what if they publicly recruited a member? Wouldn't the strong players who wanted to join the team have to fight their way out?
In this season 3, most people didn't realize that trash Alliance was a casual team that didn't really care about results.
Their situation was probably like Yingluo's "three to five good friends who play the same game. When they saw that the game was organizing a competition, they decided to team up and participate." This was very common and normal for casual players. The difference between trash Alliance and them was that the members were all very strong ... That was all.
After understanding this, it was easy to understand what had happened to teacher Chu ...
As casual players, the original motivation for us to play games is often just to "play happily with friends""However, many times, our goals will change without us knowing ...
The game's character's level, rank, equipment, ranking, weekly event attendance rate, DKP points, and so on ... When we start to be obsessed with and lose ourselves in the wealth, status, and sense of superiority that we obtain in the virtual world ... The joy that the game brings is no longer the original taste.
Many years later, looking back, the popular games of the past had long become the tears of the times. The accounts that had been poured with a lot of effort were just a speck of dust in the dusty database. Even the friends who had fought together in the illusory world had long been cut off ... In the end, only the memories of the battle together remained, which added a bit of sadness.
The members of the [loser Alliance] were a group of people who still retained the game's "original motivation", a group of men who put "the process of fighting together" above "the results", and a group of ..."Losers."
Although they had different personalities, they could understand each other and get along well. They were the purest "players" who would fight with all their might and enjoy the joy and sorrow of playing the game together. They would not act for the sake of profit, and they would not complain about each other for the things in the game.
Unfortunately, from the perspective of the "candidates," there was no doubt that they were not qualified.
Being at ease with the situation, hot-blooded and simple-minded, self-redemption, and self-care ... It was not that candidates could not have these qualities, but they could not be "just that".
"Alright ..." After hearing his reply, Michael looked into his eyes for a few seconds before continuing,"it seems like you're telling the truth ..." He looked up at the sky and said,"then there's no need to observe the remaining two."
Tired dream didn't know what he was talking about, and the audience didn't know what he was talking about.
After he finished speaking, he stood there and waited for a moment. Then, as if he had received some kind of "feedback," he nodded slightly and looked back at tired dream sect.
"Hu ..." At that moment, Michael let out a long breath and said,"this way,'our' mission ends here." He paused for half a second and looked at his opponent with a kind gaze that did not match his appearance and age. He continued,"I'll leave the topic at the end ... Perhaps you don't quite understand what I'm talking about, but ... I still want to tell you that I never regret placing my bet on you ... In the past year, your growth has proved that I didn't misjudge you. Of course, this is business. At this moment, my judgment is still ... You are not qualified. "
Indeed, tired dream didn't understand what Michael was saying, but that didn't matter anymore. After Michael said that, he used a Saint power that far exceeded his current level and used the 'light of the other shore', which directly shone on tired dream until nothing was left.
At this point, the trash Alliance's S3 journey had ended. Although they had been eliminated, from the process ... They didn't lose in vain. After all, their opponents were so strong that people wanted to report them.
In fact, many people's first thought after watching this game was to report them. Some media even began to draft provocative articles about the door to heaven being a cheater before the game was over ... Although these people had no evidence, they generally believed that there was no need to explain anything more based on the content recorded in the game video.
However, something unbelievable happened before these people could even put their faces out to be hit ...
In the early morning of the 19th, before the recording of the semi-finals was completed, the captain of [door to heaven], Michael, and his six teammates appeared in the live broadcast channel.
To the audience, this was definitely a new world view ... This group of mysterious players, who had been extremely low-key and had not even spoken a word to the outside world, not only showed their faces outside of the competition for the first time, but also in this kind of high-profile live broadcast.
From the livestream, the seven of them were in a primitive meeting room that had not been renovated. Even though all seven of them were in the frame, Michael was the only one who spoke on behalf of everyone ...
His speech was short. First, he thanked dream Inc. For granting them special permission to make a decision through the official platform. Then, he said something that made all the players think that they must have heard wrong and rejected the proposal.
