On the brink of crisis, she was still able to defend against the fatal attack, and that indeed went beyond everyone’s expectations. The crucial thing was the firepower of the Phantom King, it was simply inconceivable.
However, Ao Ziwei’s attack was once again met with empty air. Once again, the Phantom King became two and disappeared.
And immediately after that, there were two laser guns blasting out at the same time.
The Atlantis team had won the second round.
Was Ao Ziwei weak?
This was the team leader of Gemini. When Bordia decided to attack for real, Ao Ziwei had no chance to touch the opponent anymore…
Ao Ziwei walked out of the mech helplessly. She was not injured at all. However, the brake of the Victory Goddess had stopped working after being hit by a gunshot. This proved that not only did the opponent have precise control, he also had a strong understanding about the Victory Goddess mech. It destroyed its brake, yet it did not blow up. Exactly what kind of understanding did he possess?
This battle was not violent at all. In fact, it was even a little simple. However, Bordia had displayed that his understanding of crucial moments, and his control of mecha had reached a frightening stage.
With regards to the energy capacity of his mech, the limits of his mech, and the opponent’s limit, he had fully grasped everything in the palm of his hand.
There was no secret in his eyes.
Some people believed themselves as infallible and powerful and wanted to crush all their opponents. However, this kind of strong and capable person would definitely fall one day. And it was possible that once they fell, they would never get up ever again.
However, there was another kind of strong and capable person. He himself possessed all the power and strength to crush his opponents. But he chose to understand his opponent, to study his opponent, and at the same time chose to use an appropriate amount of strength to reach his opponent’s critical point.
Reaching such a level only proved one thing: that everything about you was under his control.
As a warrior, you should not be afraid of that your opponent was strong, you should be afraid of the opponent in front of you that lay everything plain and bare in front of you. It was those that no one could fully understand.
This was the Phantom King, Bordia. The team leader of the Atlantis team!
This was also the only battle where after the outcome of the battle was decided, the two pilots had suffered no injury at all. And Ao Ziwei could only concede her defeat.
Was Bordia showing something to Wang Zheng instead?
A battle won without having been fought?
It was hard to tell if it was real or virtual, separating and re-joining together. From the beginning to the end, it was beyond one’s capability to make sense of the Phantom King.
How much strength had Bordia used?
If he had not been lenient at the start and had started attacking right away, perhaps Ao Ziwei would only be able to endure for a few seconds at best. And Ao Ziwei was already steadily ranked as one of the top 10 persons for IG this year.
A rapid kill!
Bordia was wearing a smile when he came out. This did not seem like an IG competition, but more like a practice to learn from one another. And he had already obtained the information that he had wanted.
“Bordia, that was too much effort. There was no need for you to waste so much time.”
“I can improve the library once again. This ability of Ao Ziwei is really pretty good, it could even obtain the bronze level.”
Bordia laughed. Azhas twitched his mouth. This matter was none of his business. And the greatest wish of his biggest opponent was not to become a warrior of the temple, but a monk.
…Librarian?
The shock that victory brought about was peaceful, while the party defeated also need not blame herself or be sad. As no matter what, it was already foreordained. It was already not bad that Ao Ziwei was able to last for such a long period of time.
The winner would also not have any celebration or joy, as this was right and proper to them.
Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu looked at each other. It was evident that both of them saw the worry in the other’s eyes. A soldier that did not want to be a general would not be considered a good soldier. Since they had already advanced into the semifinals, who wouldn’t want to enter the finals? But the Atlantis team was an obstacle… It was like a fierce tiger blocking the path!
“That was too damn shameless. What are they doing. Was that even a 1v1?”
Yan Xiaosu could not help but to roast them. This was too sick. As an “expert” of CT, he had daydreamed countless of times that he himself would be able to operate an Atlantean mech. Sometimes he even thought that maybe he had been picked up by Old Yan somewhere, that maybe he was actually an Atlantean prince that had been missing for many years, this sort of stuff.
Often, when people in CT saw such videos, they would find it exaggerated. However, it was even more shocking in reality.
It was just confusing. Many times, people did not even realize that they were already dead when they were battling with the people of Atlantis.
Of course, presently, the two that appeared for battle were the strongest two of Atlantis. One was the team leader, the other the vice team leader, and perhaps it was still too early to talk about victory now.
“Boss, is there even a way to decode this thing? Even if you possessed the Ability X to distinguish between virtual and reality, it is also necessary to be able to respond in time!”
The people of Arbiter were also clearly a bit stressed. They were veterans of hundreds of battles, but they were still no match for this… it was just simply unfathomable.
Olivios was silent. This was something that they would have to face eventually. He had rich battle experience and had been through countless life and death crises. However, he really had not had any experience fighting against the Atlanteans. And this was also the reason why he had come to the IG, as with so many sparring partners, it was obviously enough for him to gain a full understanding of their might.
This was a very crucial step for his journey towards becoming a battle god.
The relaxed air of the people of Atlantis was not a pretense, and also not for showing off. This was like their own domestic trivialities, where they were chatting and commenting on the mecha of mankind.
This was as if they were saying that from the beginning, we were never on the same level.
But it was very hard for you to dislike or question the people of Atlantis. This was because they had such good control at the crucial moments, so how could this be considered bullying?
For some reason, the humans who were present all had a kind of feeling in their hearts where they were unable to say their grievances.
Should they give in?
The pride of Ao Ziwei was also shot down. She was not afraid of death, and even more not afraid of injuries. But how? This kind of defeat was really unbearable, as this only showed that the opponent did not even regard her as a real opponent.
They played down everything, and it had just ended like that.
Bordia looked at the time. Quite a lot of time was used up on the Solar System Federation team’s side. If they continued going round after round, it might drag on until very late at night.
“Team leader Ao Ziwei, why don’t we do this: for the last round let’s have a team battle so that we can go back earlier to rest since everyone has worked hard today.”
Bordia said, and it was clear that he had this right.
Team battle?
1v1, Ao Ziwei looked at her team members. It looked like no one in Gemini had any confidence of winning anymore.
Only a team battle would be their last hope.
“Alright, team battle. Everyone, lift up your heads! I will lead the team myself. Even if I have to pay with my life, we will show the courage of the people of Gemini!”
Ao Ziwei said angrily. This angry shout awakened all the pride and dignity of the people of Gemini. They could lay down and die, but they would not stand still and be defeated!
Bordia did not care much about all this. With regards to the emotional stuff of mankind, the Atlanteans did not want to be involved with it. This was because mankind was too complicated. They still belonged to the stage where evolution was not yet complete, and knowing too much about such stuff might affect the people of Atlantis, who were perfect.
“Millsap, you go up for this round,” Bordia said.
A young warrior of Atlantis called Millsap stood up. He gave a slight salute. “Yes, Leader.”
Bordia nodded his head. “We will not need to change the battlefield. This training ground will do.”
Ao Ziwei was stunned. “What you mean is that for this round of team battle, it will be one of you against five of us? And not only that, it will be in the training ground???”
Bordia nodded his head. “Millsap is the best at team battles among all of us. Having more people doesn’t guarantee dominance.”
What Bordia meant was that one of them going up was equivalent to five people. However, in the understanding of others, it was clearly saying that randomly sending one of us up would be enough to finish all of you off instantly.
