Heloise died. No one had expected that a woman with such high talents in music would depart the world in this kind of manner. She was like a drop of water, fusing into the river of time and very quickly disappeared without a trace.
And time still moved forward, not affected at all…
On the other side of the spectator stand, inside a VIP room.
Jiang Duxing looked at the holographic projection in the center, touched his chin, and muttered, “I wonder how Qianxue and the rest are doing now. They shouldn’t have been defeated yet, right?”
“How can that be.” Jiang Dongliu smiled and said, “Hong Dali is someone who fought against the Zergs before, after all. And I heard that he’s quite strong, too. Not mentioning getting first place, there shouldn’t be any problem for them to get into the top 100. There are still over a hundred thousand people inside who haven’t been eliminated yet, he wouldn’t be defeated so quickly. I had even specially prepared an Ice Snow Angel for him. Qianxue is a Galaxy Aristocrat, after all, I can’t let her lose too quickly and look bad, right?”
“That’s true.” Jiang Duxing smiled and said, “Yup, let’s see how far she can go. Of course, I hope that she won’t get first place. It would be best if she can just quietly leave the competition, in case Malone notices her.”
“That’s what I think, too.” Jiang Dongliu nodded and said, “This time, it’s because I wanted to build a close relationship with Hong Dali. If not, I wouldn’t have let her participate at all. Sigh, this Hong Dali is really not simple, even White Beard Gate is related to him.”
“Luck is something that no one can predict.” Jiang Duxing helplessly shook his head and said, “White Beard Gate is a person who is of the same status as the High Nobles.”
Saying so, he sighed.
They could compare themselves with anyone but Hong Dali. If not, they would end up feeling depressed.
…
On the other side, in the spectator stand.
“Quick, look, the figure has changed again. Haha, only 80,000 plus people are left.”
“That’s right, the figure is jumping really quickly. It seems to be because someone incredible joined the competition this time. In the past, after just two hours plus there should still be over a hundred thousand people left, right?”
“Isn’t that so? Sigh, I heard that someone saw five extremely incredible mechas appear this time that were all made from Immium alloys. Just from their appearance alone, they are already very frightening. This time, I think they will probably become the champion.”
“God, five mechas made from Immium alloy? How strong will they be? That would cost at least a billion, right?”
“A billion? How is that possible. According to insider information, these five mechas cost as much as 2.5 billion to build!”
“What the heck! That’s so terrifying!”
Hearing the discussions from around them, Li Yang and the rest shared a look and Li Yang softly asked, “Sister Xiaoyi, they are not referring to Young Master’s mechas, are they?”
Ling Xiaoyi slowly shook her head and said, “No, out of Young Master’s mechas, only Granzon and Valsion are made from Immium alloy. The Dragon Tiger King is made from Memory metal, while Astranagan is slightly weaker, made from normal alloys after we came here. Miss Qianxue’s mecha isn’t made from Immium alloy too, its build cost is said to be around 150 million. The five mechas they are talking about are definitely not referring to Young Master’s mechas.”
“Ah?” Li Yang was alarmed. “Doesn’t that mean Young Master is in danger of losing this time?”
“Looks like a formidable opponent appeared this time.” Li Tianxing laughed and said, “These five mechas probably belong to a Galaxy Aristocrat, the most likely one being Li Tianxing. Hehe, interesting. If Young Master and he meet, who do you guys think will win?”
“Is there a need to ask.” Li Yang decisively stood up and said, “Of course the Young Master will win!”
“Hard to say.” Ling Xiaoyi frowned and said, “The opponent this time is very strong. I wonder how the Young Master will handle this situation.”
“Quick, look.” Li Yang suddenly pointed at the gigantic holographic projection and said, “The holographic projection is changing!”
Everyone anxiously looked over. Indeed, at the center, the holographic projection of the universe shrunk by a lot and many things inside were enlarged by quite a bit. And the figure on top of the holographic projection also changed by a lot, and there was even a text explanation beside it—
“Current number of competitors remaining: 60,000. The size of the venue has changed.”
60,000 people remained and the size of the venue changed. Very obviously, the size of the venue now was four times smaller compared to before!
…
Inside the competition venue.
“Humph, a bunch of trash.” Li Tianxing piloted the black Spirit Emperor and easily destroyed five mechas nearby. In disdain, he said, “There’s not a single one that can put up a fight. Everyone, hurry up and finish your battles. I want to fight that bastard Feng Wuhen as soon as possible. As for Hong Dali, I shall deal with him last!”
“Okay.” The other four replied in unison.
Their mechas were all installed with the more powerful Dark Energy Collision Engine and had a powerful engine source. Even after fighting for so long, they didn’t deplete much energy. Now, they were charging around on the battlefield, and no one could withstand even a single attack from them.
As long as the other mechas were slightly touched by Li Tianxing’s and his team’s mechas, exploding was their only result.
“Hm?” Li Tianxing looked at the reality screen on his mecha and suddenly smiled. He said, “There are still 60,000 people remaining, the battlefield has already shrunk. Get rid of the enemies around us and follow me to find the rest!”
“Roger!” The other four replied in unison. Instantly, their firepower increased more than threefold. This was only the virtual world, after all. It wouldn’t matter no matter how they fought. Therefore, after they went full power, not only the enemy mechas nearby, even the smaller planet fragments were all blasted into ashes too.
…
“Quick, look, what’s the situation in that area? I wonder what mecha is that, it’s so powerful. An entire area of things have been wiped out, and even part of the planetary belt has been blown away!”
“That’s right. God, what kind of weapon is so powerful, this is way too terrifying, isn’t it?”
“This should be those five mechas made from Immium alloy, right? As expected of them. I heard that these five mechas are the most probable to win first place. Keep watching, once the venue shrinks again, we will be able to see those five mechas clearly! Hehe, I am really looking forward to seeing what they really look like!”
While the other audiences were discussing softly, Li Yang was getting a bit nervous and asked, “Sister Xiaoyi, judging from the looks of it, the weapons of that five mechas are quite powerful. Can Young Master and the rest manage them?”
“Not sure.” Ling Xiaoyi had a grave expression on her face. “Their weapons are very powerful and their range of attack is very wide too. Most importantly, the pilot is very possibly that deserter, Li Tianxing. If he really gets first place, just thinking about this possibility makes me uncomfortable.”
“Isn’t that so.” Li Yang humphed. “Once I think about him being the champion, I instantly feel angry. What capability is there in appearing to be awesome now? Why wasn’t he like this when we were fighting with the Zergs? Spat!”
…
Inside the planetary belt.
Currently, the size of the competition venue had shrunk again. The ones still surviving now were practically all elite-level people. Their combat talent and sense of danger was definitely not something those small fries at the start could compare to.
BOOM!
Inside this small area, the small planets on the planetary belt were constantly being blown apart by the attacks from the various mechas! Although sound couldn’t travel in space, for the sake of stimulating the cruel nature of war, the sound could be stimulated inside this special competition venue! The aim was for them to be able to feel the danger around them.
This was akin to watching a horror movie. Without the sound effect, the horror effect would drop significantly.
“Hehe, what an intense battle.” Li Tianxing piloted the Spirit Emperor and flew around the planetary belt leisurely. Very quickly, he saw two mechas fighting, smiled and said, “Yup, judging from their battle, they are not that bad. What a pity, they are still too weak for me.”
Saying so, he directly pressed the weapon button. With a “sizzle” sound, a black beam of light was directly fired.
Without even being able to react, the two mechas fighting directly turned into ashes and were kicked out of the competition.
“There’s not a single one that can fight.” Li Tianxing humphed and continued to look for his next prey.
He killed everyone he saw over at this side, but at other places, the mechas were fighting each other with all they had!
“Bomb!” “Bomb!” “Bomb!” “Bomb!” “Bomb!” “Bomb!” “Bomb!” “Bomb!”…
Now that the venue had shrunk, the sounds of mechas fighting were practically everywhere on the planetary belt. The particle-beams shot from mechas flew everywhere.
After all, all of these mechas were built specially to obtain victory for this competition. The power of their weapons were all akin to the main cannon of a Planet-level space carrier, very powerful. If this were in an ordinary space in the universe, it was likely that the entire star sector would be destroyed after their battles ended. However, this was in the virtual world, so the durability of the things in this competition venue had all been enhanced by at least three levels. It could be said that the main cannon of a normal Planet-level space carrier could only turn a small planet with a diameter of 1,000 meters into ashes, but definitely wouldn’t be able to do something like piercing through a normal planet with one shot.
“Hm, there’s actually someone who dares to challenge me?” Very quickly, Li Tianxing laughed and turned his head around violently. A totally green mecha wielding a large blade of about 10 meters long pounced over! That large blade was emitting red light that looked like fire, and a small planet with a diameter of 60 meters or so behind Li Tianxing was practically cut apart like tofu.
“Hahaha, I wondered who it was. Isn’t this Shaoyan from the Lin Family?” Upon seeing this mecha, Li Tianxing instantly laughed and asked, “Why, are you here to actively seek death?”
