The competition came to an emergency halt!
For the first time in IG history, there was a team leader heavenly battle. Rather than calling it a heavenly battle, it felt more like a battle for one's life as the person who called for it would not be able to surrender, and his life would be entirely controlled by the opponent.
The committee was also having an emergency consultation. They were considering how the arrangement of this round of battle would be like. There was a time-out for ten minutes.
Let's not talk about the Darkness Empire, even the Solar System Federation's side was having an intense debate.
Most of the team members were holding onto their view of disagreeing. And unexpectedly, those who were disagreeing the most fiercely were people like Zhang Shan and Meng Tian, as Wang Zheng was absolutely seeking his death by doing this.
"Wang Zheng, why are you even more impulsive than me? I have a solution. Isn't this just because the jerk's Ability X could reach a further distance? I can take care of him. Later on, I will just charge over to fight him directly. Or when he uses his ability, I will go right across to beat him to death!"
Zhang Shan said furiously. Zhang Shan would rarely be so furious, as he admired Wang Zheng the most. No matter what, Wang Zheng would always remain cool-headed. However, he had actually made such a decision today. Even if they lost, it would be alright because the Solar System had come so far, so there was no need to risk his life.
"Don't be so childish. You think the people of the Darkness Empire are all dead? IG has never banned such an Ability X, but if you act recklessly, we will be eliminated right away, " Lear said coldly.
In the past there was also this type of Ability X, which had a wide range. One example would be the healing series Ability X, which appeared in the previous year. It could provide assistance from afar, to enable their team members to constantly stay in the best condition. This type of ability was of no concern to the IG organisers, as according to the rules of the IG, so long as you did not appear in the battlefield, it was fine. As for disturbances, if it was so easy, Bonthe would not have been known as the Dark Prince.
"Damn you, the one who dares to take the risk now is not you. Aren't you always very capable? How come you only managed to score a draw!" Zhang Shan shouted angrily.
Lear was still very calm, as usual. A small smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The Zhang Shan in front of him was too childish.
Encountering a sudden problem, under a circumstance of being totally unprepared, it was already fairly difficult for Lear to be able to score a draw to end the round. If it was Zhang Shan, the opponent probably would not even have had to reach such that point and would have finished Zhang Shan off straight away. But Lear clearly did not want to start an argument. He really wanted to know how strong Wang Zheng really was. And with Wang Zheng's character of taking the initiative to volunteer himself, even if it was a last resort, perhaps there would still be a certain chance of success.
At this time, Vargas, the lieutenant general of the Darkness Empire, immediately called together his team members. However, the team members of the Darkness Empire seemed particularly relaxed. They did not expect that Wang Zheng would be driven to such a desperate action, to just throw away his own life. Victory was in sight, and this was also considered a type of battle won without any fighting.
Vargas looked at everyone. They were indifferent and complacent, especially Sloughberg. Everyone believed that they were surely going to win.
However, the silence of Vargas still attracted the attention of his team members. They felt that the atmosphere was not right, and everyone quietened down.
"I will just tell you guys one thing. Wang Zheng completed an S-rank mission during his resurrection round. It was something unprecedented in history. Due to the rules of the IG, I don't want to say much; however, let me just tell you guys one thing. He used the Golden Wheel and killed over ten thousand Zerg, and he also killed the queen worm, all on his own. Would the twelve of you had been able to accomplish it together?"
Vargas said coldly, "There is a common saying from the people of the Earth. There is no limit in the universe - knowledge is infinite; however strong you are, there is always someone stronger. If you guys are not going to be on full alert, we will surely lose this battle."
In an instant, everyone's jaws dropped... the rumor was real??? There was really such a monster, and it was that fellow?
Sloughberg gave a faint smile."Very good. Brothers, you all heard it, finish him off, and we will be a super S-rank team. Follow me and I will lead you guys to win this world!"
"Long live Bonthe!"
Vargas finally heaved a sigh of relief. He knew from Sloughberg's expression that he was ready to hunt.
After all, worms were not human. Regardless of who the Solar System Federation had met, they would have had the power for one battle. Unfortunately, they had run into the Darkness Empire, where the ability of Sloughberg really was tantamount to cheating.
This year, there were indeed too many geniuses who made their appearance, and only the most prudent one would be able to emerge as the champion.
As the battlefield for the advancement in the competition was being prepared, it was evident that compared to the training ground below, the one for this round was still slightly smaller and still required a little bit of time.
Wang Zheng's choice completely taught a lesson to all the teams who were present.
"Let's not talk about anything else, but this fellow really has the guts, and he really appeals to my liking. Aurora, if we ever face him, you must give him over to me, " Oz said all of a sudden.
Aurora gave a faint smile."Why, you think he really stands a chance to win?"
Even if he was not scared of the darkness, facing the twelve experts of the Darkness Empire, there would only be death and no life. With Sloughberg's character, he would definitely not let him off.
Aslan had been paying close attention to Sloughberg for a long while, especially to his ability, and it was unexpected that it turned out to be even more radical than the information they had received.
The most powerful ability in this era was the ability to overlay, to be able to amplify and to help your surrounding team members. Usually, there would only be team battles after entering the quarter-finals, but, unexpectedly, this was seen in the top 16.
Si Jiali did not know whether she should be a big mouth, but seeing this scene, she still sent a message to Princess Aina. However, there was no sign of activity at all from the news she sent. Perhaps she had overthought. At best her Royal Princess Highness had liked him for his talent, so how could she possibly...
Arbiter had not started battling, but they were equally relaxed. No one would have doubted whether Arbiter could have entered the finals, except for that one immortal man.
Olivios, who always looked cold and bored, finally opened his eyes. His cold blood had suddenly warmed up a little, and he had not felt this way in a long, long time.
He had not come to the IG to become some bullsh*t champion, that was just a political game. He had actually come here to battle, searching for an opponent that would be able to hold him back. He was born to fight, but up till now, it had been really, really disappointing. All he had met with were a bunch of idiots who were weak and believed themselves as infallible. But this Wang Zheng was pretty interesting. If the rumors were true, he was qualified to fight a battle with him.
The people on Atlantis' side were also whispering to one another."What do you think that person is going to use?"
"With his understanding of the Golden Wheel, perhaps there will be hope. But how should I say this, it really depends on whether he will be able to withstand the Dark Canopy. That is really not easy to deal with."
"Even the Golden Wheel would be quite inadequate, as the mobility is still lacking. One must know that he would be facing a group of night assassins. I am afraid that maybe really only our Atlantean mecha would be able to deal with them. It is a pity that he can't use them."
"He deserves praise for his courage."
"But he looks pretty confident, perhaps there will be a miracle."
The people of Atlantis were the least gossipy, but a decision like this also made them very curious. On the contrary, the Royal Prince Highness, who was always an inquisitive baby, was being indifferent. He was in high spirits, anticipating the battle.
What would be used?
Ye Zisu was very worried, and Yan Xiaosu was also rubbing his hands."Should be possible, definitely possible. Our leader would not use his own life and joke about it."
But Yan Xiaosu's forehead was filled with sweat. The more he watched this IG, the more uncertain it got, and the more it did not seem like a place where ordinary people would stay. In the face of all these monsters, Wang Zheng would have to face them one against twelve. This sight was practically like seeing ghosts alive! But Yan Xiaosu knew clearly in his heart that if Wang Zheng did not go up, they would stand no chance at all because the abilities of their opponents were all too abnormal.
Wang Zheng would definitely obtain the championship. No one knew better than Yan Xiaosu, as this was a promise with Aina.
The time taken to prepare for the venue of the heavenly battle was slightly long. Lieutenant General Akerlof was trying hard to find a suitable venue for this battle. It could be seen that this general of the Milky Way Alliance did not want Wang Zheng to die here, especially not to the grubby hands of the Darkness Empire. All these years, the Darkness Empire had not been law-abiding, and if they were unrivalled in the IG, it might even lead to more troubles. He was also uncertain about a battle like this. Would the Golden Wheel be able to create another miracle?
Within a short period of time, almost everyone knew that the capability of Wang Zheng's Golden Wheel was not the same as during his battle that time with Vincent. It was stronger. At the same time, people were not worms, especially when against a team. Sloughberg had trained his team members to be absolutely ruthless, and all these people were carefully selected by the Bonthe family. They were definitely not going to be unable to cooperate with each other.
Vincent was sitting quietly in the corner, just waiting. He did not know what the limits of the Golden Wheel were, but he really could not think of any way to deal with such an opponent. To be honest, if it was him fighting the battle, he felt that he would stand no chance at all. Perhaps one on one there would still be hope, but it was one against twelve, and it would be like a complete fantasy.
Could it be that he would choose to run away, then destroy them one by one?
However, this did not seem likely as the opponent would definitely choose scout. And nobody knew how long Sloughberg's Dark Canopy could last. If it was just ten over seconds, there might still be a chance to endure it through, but what if it wasn't?
In the end, the venue was confirmed and the training ground was opened fully. There were jungles 500 meters away and part of the arena. Whether Wang Zheng could run away into it would all depend on his fate.
After all, it was Wang Zheng who called for a heavenly battle, so there was no reason for the IG to make things easier for him.
If it was the Golden Wheel against a group of dark scouts... there would be no chance at all.
After all, they were people, not worms.
Suddenly, Vincent detected a faint aroma. He turned his head and was petrified. This...
Even though he was from Manalasuo, he similarly also found the girl before him very familiar!
The first princess of the Aslan's Empire, Aina, with a group of military officers behind her. Why was she here???
Aina's arrival caused a brief commotion, but it quickly quietened down. It was reportedly said that the Royal Princess Highness had heard about the first ever heavenly battle in the IG and had specially come down to watch the battle of the brave warrior. At the same time, she also came for Aslan's team, thus, naturally, Aina was seated amongst the Aslan seats.
However, from the beginning to the end, her gaze had never left Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng also saw it, and she knew. But Wang Zheng had been carrying a smile on his face. Was he so confident about this?
Many times, the result was only known after the act had been done. After all, he had not encountered the Dark Canopy before. But at this moment, he had a strong feeling towards Bonehead. He had cursed at him before more than a million times, but not today. It was because of his inhumane training that he had such courage when he was faced with a decision like this.
Si Jiali was seated at the side of the Princess. They had just finished greeting each other, but Si Jiali was utterly stunned. Even though the Princess acted as though it was very coincidental, Si Jiali still saw the sweat beads on the snow-white neck of Aina. It was not a coincidental thing that she had rushed over... If she wanted to come, she would have come yesterday. Aslan had already finished competing. Moreover, with Aslan's strength, they would surely enter the semifinals. If they were not able to achieve that, this group of Aslanians would have no face left.
Sloughberg led his eleven team members onto the stage and looked at Wang Zheng."Even though I am your opponent, I would still like to commend you on your silly courage. Anyway, one more thing that I would still like to tell you: my Dark Canopy can last for five minutes without stopping."
Sloughberg was smiling very brightly and was also very proud. This was to put an end to Wang Zheng's idea of stalling for time. Without a strength like this, how would he have dared to aspire to become the King of Darkness? After advancing to the semifinals, his Dark Canopy ability would be able to reach the ultimate level. Aslan, Atlantis, and even that blockhead from Arbiter, they were all weak and nothing more!
The Darkness Empire's team were not unreasonable. They all chose the scout mech, Shadow Charm Reaper. A scene of twelve Shadow Charm mecha was indeed too spectacular. The darkness caused people to tremble with fear. To be targeted by twelve grim reapers in the dark, no one would even want or dare to think about such a feeling.
However, no one cared about this. Everyone knew the Darkness Empire would be like this, the important thing was what exactly was Wang Zheng going to choose?
Golden Wheel? Hercules? Or another mech from Earth?
Whatever it would be, it still felt lacking.
Wang Zheng did not give everyone much time to be confused, his mech had been confirmed!
- Wind God!
Yan Xiaosu clenched his fist tightly. It was definitely the Wind God. The one and only Wind God!
Ability X or what, he did not understand. However, once the Wind God entered the jungle area, with Wang Zheng operating it, it would absolutely be unrivalled!
Ye Zisu was biting her lip. She was very, very worried, she was worried that her capability was too inadequate. If only the Wind God could be more powerful and nimble, Wang Zheng would have a greater chance of winning. However, there had been continuously no progress on improving it, and she could not help at all and could only watch.
The Wind God against twelve Shadow Charm Reapers!
