Chapter 436: Odds of Winning

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

If the pilot’s physical and spiritual condition were not strong enough, he would be an easy target. However, for people like Olivios, they did not care much for these kinds of fancy moves. As for the other warriors, they had to be more careful. The Aslanians were not weaker than them, and it would be a shame if they were caught off guard.

Next would be the time needed for the mech to execute their abilities and some symbolic actions.

On the other side, the Mayans had finished their analysis on Arbiter. To the Mayans, Arbiter and Aslan were the same, or to put it simply, all humans were the same. The style of their mecha might be different, but they were basically the same. As long as the Mayans unleashed their power, humans were not their opponents at all.

It was Atlantis that they had to pay more attention to. As the first civilization originating from Earth, Atlantis was more advanced than the Mayans in many aspects. The only difference was that Atlantis was aiming for integration with the rest of the universe. They did not have any desire for expansion. To the Mayans, this was them being stagnant. Since their contract had been dismissed, the Mayan era would finally approach.

The entire tactical analysis was centered on Atlantis, especially on their King series mecha.

The Solar System Federation team’s tactical analysis room.

More than 10 Atlantean mecha were displayed. The basic data analysis had just been completed, but these had no direct effect on the battle. Everyone was bewildered by Atlantean technology.

The battle skills of Azhas and his team were still showing on the screen.

“When we fight against Atlantis, you guys should not be stressed. Just fight in your own style,” Meng Ao said. His attitude was good. It was fine as long as they were not defeated too badly.

Sometimes, reality was one thing and politics was another. Even if you had achieved excellent results, when you made a mistake, like getting humiliated in the semifinals for instance, or even becoming a joke in the Milky Way Alliance, your precious achievements would be forgotten. Meng Ao was aware of this. At this step, he did not want to pressure any of the team members.

“General, is there a more detailed introduction? At least tell us how to differentiate between the energy body and physical body,” Zhang Shan asked.

Meng Ao smiled. “The energy body and physical body are basically the same in appearance, but the details are different. You need long-term training and experience to be able to differentiate them. Last minute work has not much use. Instead of spending your energy on determining which is which, just choose one and fight hard. Then there’s at least half a chance.”

Everyone nodded helplessly. Lear remained silent, obviously not satisfied with the result.

“General, we will have no chance of winning against Atlantis with this kind of happy-go-lucky mentality,” Lear said.

Meng Ao smiled. He was not angry. “Lear, what suggestions do you have?”

“I have the confidence to win the next round!” Lear said. “The rest will just have to win another round, and we can have the chance to battle as a team.”

“Lear, let’s not say whether or not we can win two rounds. Even if we do so, didn’t you see that our opponents aren’t afraid of any battle type at all? We will die faster in a team battle. There is no difference,” Taros said.

Lear glanced coldly at Taros. He never had the intention of listening to this pest, but if he did not teach him a lesson, he would not know his status.

At this moment, Wang Zheng stood up. “Lear’s idea is indeed currently the most reliable plan we have for now. The chance of winning in a team battle is small, but that refers to the simple addition of our powers. On the contrary, when we battle as a team, we will have more opportunities. The IG authorities already said that during team battles, the battlefield will be larger. This will give us the chance to unleash our powers. As for the Poseidon’s Ritual, it will face area restrictions, and this will benefit us. So first, we have to win two rounds.”

Wang Zheng said. He had to admit, disliking Lear was one thing, but this guy was not just some brainless douche. “Lear, do you have the confidence to win the next round?”

Lear nodded calmly.

“Lear, this is not the time to be pretentious. Can you do it?” Zhang Shan said. He was fine with others, but for Lear, Zhang Shan remained skeptical.

“Bordia and Azhas, 50%. For the others, 100% chance of victory,” Lear said.

They knew that Lear was not boasting from what he had said. Facing Bordia and Azhas, whoever said that they had a 100% chance of winning was mad. A 50% chance was already quite high.

But Bordia and Azhas would definitely be fighting in the first few rounds.

“I will win one round from one of them. Lear will win one. If everything goes smoothly, we will fight it out in a team battle. ”

Wang Zheng said. This was the only way. Achilles might have a chance, but his odds of winning were not high. Towards the rest of the team, the gap between the members was huge. There was no chance to launch a sneak attack. When the battles reached the semi-finals, everyone’s cards were basically exposed. At least there was a holistic assessment of everyone’s performance as a team.

“Let’s arrange the lineup for the first three fights. I can give it a try.” Achilles laughed. He kept a low profile, but that did not mean his ability was any less than that of Lear.

Wang Zheng shook his head. “Achilles, you don’t need to fight in the first three rounds. We need to drop one round to preserve our strength. You will be the main force in our team battle.”

If Achilles was up in the first three matches, regardless of him winning or losing, he would not be able to retreat easily. Wang Zheng already had some thoughts for the team battle. During the team battle, they would need a person who was calm and at the same time could unite the team. Achilles was the most suitable candidate.

He glanced at Lear. Lear had no expression. This was probably also the reason why Lear had volunteered to fight in the first few rounds.

Meng Ao laughed quietly. This bunch of rascals was quite strong. He had taken a weak stance so that he could provoke and stir up their tenacity. This was the best encouragement.

Meng Ao clapped his hands. “Good, the Atlanteans are people too. This is no big deal. The details will determine our success or failure. As long as we can make it through to the team battle, we can use tactics to defeat them.”

Although they did not say it out loud, everyone knew that by theory, the tactic should be a one-four attack. One party would attract the firepower, while the other party would attack the energy tower guarded by the opponents.

A head-on tactic would definitely not work on the Atlanteans, so they’d have to resort to strategy instead. One could never assume that the Atlanteans were weak, however. As a result, even that battle’s result could only be left in the hands of destiny.

“I’ll introduce the Specter King and the Phantom King to you guys. I know a little about these two mecha,” Wang Zheng said. Immediately, everyone focused their attention. Wang Zheng had actually used the Phantom King before. No matter how much he remembered, it was still a personal experience.

“All Atlantean mecha are good at advancing short distances, similar to warping. But in reality, the advances are actually slower than instantaneous movement. At the moment of use, there will be about 0.3 seconds of delay. Of course, even at this critical moment, it is not recommended that we attack, but it can be used for judging what to do or to even accumulate energy for a stronger strike. For the Specter King, his advances are physical. The multiple position continuous attacks that you see in the recording are actually physical attacks, just elevated to an insane level,” Wang Zheng said. Apart from having used the Phantom King before, Wang Zheng had some understanding of this style of mech that was on the same level as the Phantom King. From certain perspectives, its attack level was more or less the same as the Phantom King, but Wang Zheng did not relate them closely. His familiarity with the Phantom King came from experiencing Bonehead’s own piloting, which made it easier to pilot the mech. The Specter King, however, was very different. If you did not have a deep understanding of the mech, even if you went into battle, it was equivalent to courting death.

“But why did he return to the same spot in the end, as if he didn’t move at all? How did he manage to achieve that short distance movement, or was it that what we saw were actually his energy clones?”

Achilles asked with interest. If he could not understand the mecha they were challenging, he could not win at all.

“I do not know the specific principle. It is probably an ability of the runes, but what we can confirm is that the Specter King uses physical attacks. This is its special feature. If we cannot hit it with one attack, it will distance itself almost instantaneously. That means that unless we kill him in one attack, our future attacks will never have any effect, and this mech’s explosive potential will kill all our mecha in an instant. ”

Wang Zheng said. Azhas had already proven this point. As of how much strength he had used in the previous battle, that would be hard to tell.

At least one point was clear. When they faced the Specter King, they would have fight with all their might. Otherwise, they would be toyed by the opponent till they die.

“Next is the Poseidon’s Ritual. The source of this mech’s attack should be from the pilot’s own spiritual power, and it is amplified with the use of runes. Hence, as long as you are within the scope of his attack, anyone will be hit. However, a person’s spiritual power is limited. All of them can only, at the most, use it once. Millsap’s spiritual power is quite strong, but his weakness is also obvious. His ability to adapt is poor, so as long as we can make sure that his attack does not work, his combat power will decline drastically.”

“You mean we can’t dodge his attack at all?” Lie Xin said.

“It’s not totally impossible to dodge. The pilot’s aim is to leave a spiritual implant on the target before launching the attack. If you guys know how to remove the imprint, he will have no way of attacking at all,” Lear said calmly.

Everyone was stunned. Lear did not continue. He might be unwilling to explain, but obviously that was not the case. At this point, it was either very difficult to learn, or, given the limited time, it was impossible to learn it.

Avoiding a spiritual lock-on and removing the spiritual lock-on would not only be a move against Atlanteans, but also a move used only by some high level Ability X users. They would also have to reach a certain level to use it. This meant that Lear’s research in this area was quite in-depth. Even Achilles was a little surprised because he did not have much understanding in this area.

“The style of the Specter King is a little bit more troublesome. The Atlanteans have a method to spiritually lock on to targets when they are operating the mecha. It allows their attacks to be more precise and quick, finishing off enemies in an instant. The Phantom King is also like this. The energy body and physical body both have close range attacks, and once you are hit, the spiritual imprint will also detonate, causing a double hit on the mech and its pilot. This is also the frightening part of the Phantom King,” Wang Zheng said. Everyone felt that defeating the Phantom King was a headache.

“The Phantom King’s strength lies not only in virtual attacks, but the fact that it can switch between both virtual and reality. You can call it a bug. Wang Zheng, my point is we should drop this round directly. This way we can increase our chances by several fold!”

Lear interrupted Wang Zheng and said, “The Phantom King is the most troublesome Atlantean mech to deal with. It is no use sharpening our spears at the last minute.”

Lear obviously did not want Wang Zheng to go on and on here. Even more so, he did not want to see a group of them listening so attentively. No matter what was said, all they did would be to boost their opponent’s image and reduce their own morale.
