Wang Zheng could not help but remember the mysterious organization. The Old Merchant had once hinted that they had been well concealed for a long time, infiltrating continuously, even to the core of some countries. The Earthworm Federation was not a small country.
Defeat in the first round forced the Mayans to make changes. Matt Locatelli pointed indifferently to Merte."You're on."
Buzzing. A Mayan with a strange symbol inscribed on his forehead walked out. A harp-like rhyme resonated between his strides. It was the sound made by the precious stones that he was wearing.
"Yes."
Expressionless, Merte looked at the howling cheers of the Devil Dragon battle team and chose the Maya's Mantis.
Maya did not abhor failure. However, only by confronting failure could one learn to be stronger. Real strength could only be achieved by learning from multiple failures.
The Maya's Mantis was precisely such a mech.
What was sad was the passing of the glory in the past. It was the age of the fallen gods, and the ancient martial arts of mankind had reached a height that would cause a quiver in the laws of the universe. The birth of the Maya's Mantis was to help regain their past glories.
But that era had ended. It was a new era now. The real power of the Maya's Mantis remained sealed, continuously...
Merte's deep blue eyes were as icy cold as the ice of the deep sea, as a result of the failure.
The Mayans hated nothing more than the era of the ancient martial arts of mankind as they had to be subjected to oppression for centuries. Although the ancient martial arts were no longer as powerful as before, and with the contract annulled, the ambition of the Mayans was also awakening. Unlike the Atlanteans, they were ambitious. They longed to rule, longed to become the ruler of the Lights. Everything in the universe should be shining under the Lights.
Boom...
The Maya's Mantis burned with blazing blood.
Carba, captain of the Devil Dragon battle team, smiled and said, "It seems like the Mayans still haven't learned. Ji Ga, go make them understand."
"Yes."
The mech that Ji Ga chose was a bit of a surprise.
The Aeolus mech.
But this obviously was a planned confrontation.
The two mecha engaged in a fierce battle as soon as the match started.
The Maya's Mantis transformed into a bloody beast under the control of Merte. The crazy energy attack mode dazzled everyone.
But the response from the Aeolus was equally breath-taking: ultimate movement. Ji Ga's Ability X was mid-level B stealth. His ancient martial art was the Dragon Fist. Due to the Aeolus' maneuverability and operability, he was not afraid of the Mayan's lightning fast attack.
A strike of the Hidden Dragon maneuver. One single maneuver countered all maneuvers, be it up the mountains, in the water, or on land. No matter how Merte manipulated the Maya's Mantis for the attacks, the Aeolus could always manage to dodge the attacks.
The key word was "hidden." This was different from Luo Fei's stealth ability. Lou Fei's ability was about illusion and confusion, but Aeolus' was about preserving and misleading.
The angrier Merte was, the more callous he was. No one could stop Maya from advancing. The opponent's flexibility was obviously very deliberate. But how could he evade the Maya's Mantis forever - Death Ripples Song!
The Aeolus lowered its energy to the minimum immediately. This was a maneuver that was impossible to dodge, and there was insufficient time to break away from the range of attack. Energy blast. But what else could you do if the energy level of the mech was reduced to the minimum?
Boom...
The Aeolus exploded!
Merte smiled. After the body had reached twenty percent energy conversion, the sensitivity and detailed control of energy blasting were not things that mere humans could comprehend. How foolish of them!
Round three. The Mayans continued to demonstrate their strength. After all, the dark element of the humans was very rare. Furthermore, the Earthworm battle team was not formed specially to battle the Maya. The Mayans took round three.
The decisive team battle began. The Devil Dragon battle team pinned their hopes on Lawrence, who possessed the dark element. The rest of the team tried to create opportunities for Lawrence. But it was good to have dreams. They had the strength and the ambition, so they hoped to impress everyone at the SIG. Unfortunately, they had encountered the Mayans.
The Mayans had waited for an even longer time.
Matt Locatelli, a Mayan royalty destined to be famous, killed five people with a single tune of Death Ripple. Amongst them was Lawrence, who possessed the dark elements.
There was nowhere for darkness to hide under the illumination of the Eternal Light.
The Mayan Child of Light battle team advanced to the quarter-finals.
The weakness of the damage caused by the dark element that was exposed earlier became less apparent in an instant. How could one respond to the Mayans, whose energy conversion had reached twenty percent?
This was the problem that all the countries, and not just the other teams, would have to face. This was the same situation that happened earlier with the runic technology, a real problem for the humans.
But Matt Locatelli's target was actually the prince of Atlantis, Dina Atlas. The Mayans did not want to confront the humans directly. While the humans were weak if they are alone, if they joined forces, it would be difficult to defend against them, especially if the numbers were huge, just like a fleet of locusts. The numbers of the Mayans, who were pursuing elitism, were few and far between. For every hundred human men, there was only one Mayan. The many years of forbearance had led the Mayans to seek other methods.
It was a step closer to the road to Atlantis. Cultivating a leader among the humans required influence. The best option to achieve this was by defeating the Atlanteans. This was typical of the humans, to worship the powerful. Furthermore, it was time to decide the winner among the three major civilizations.
Filled with ambition, the Mayans displayed an uncharacteristic sense of affinity in diplomacy, formed alliances, and demonstrated their military strength. Of course, Aslan was the exception. Aslan and Atlantis had been too friendly. During all these years in the Milkyway Alliance, the Mayans had come to understand the strengths and weaknesses of mankind's humanity.
During lunch, everyone was discussing the strengths of Maya. Presently, the Mayans seemed unable to control their energy. Could it be that a mech would not be required when battling the Mayans?
Even if the energy level was reduced to the lowest level, it would still be detonated. However, the time difference between putting it on brakes completely and getting restarted was sufficient to die several times.
Man would have wagered another war had it not been that there were only a few Mayans that had the skills for the energy conversion of over twenty percent.
However, this was a major concern for all the countries at the SIG. No one wanted to face the Child of Light battle team in the final four battle. But this was a happy problem. After all, only the top eight teams were qualified.
It was another heavyweight match in the afternoon.
The highly anticipated Saruman Snake battle team versus Manalasuo's Golden Wheel battle team. This was considered one of the most evenly matched teams as well. Both teams were highly team-oriented, and their captains were also leaders of this year.
Evenly matched.
For Wang Zheng, there was absolutely no way he would go easy on Manalasuo. Not only was it for Saruman Snake, but also to have Aina. He had to totally defeat Manalasuo so that Kashawen could give no excuses!
