403 Unable to be Understood
Translator:Abyssruler | Editor: Lucas
Bole closed his eyes. He knew things would turn out this way. Even if he wanted to selfishly hope for a miracle, he wished that he had forfeited this match as well, just like the Silver Snake Coalition did. Because to Vincent, this was an unmitigated disaster.
It was very likely that the genius of Ma.n.a.lasuo would never recover from this.
Vincent was carted off by the paramedics, his eyes closed. The wounds on his body were unimportant compared to the emotional scarring. His tears rolled down. No matter how many injuries he had sustained in training, no matter what happened, he had never once despaired. He had believed that effort alone would see him through to the top.
That was until now, when his world had crumbled.
The Atlanteans were silent. In this moment, even warriors from the mighty Atlantis could do nothing but silently convey their respect.
It was such a shock when an unbeatable move was beaten. It was something that every warrior wanted to experience.
The judges were silent. This needed no extraordinary brainpower to see that the Golden Wheel would be a celebrated mech from now on.
How could the Radiant Wheel h.e.l.l be evaded!?
This was a calculation that even computers would give up on!
This was a farce. d.a.m.n, was this really the Solar System team?
All the Ma.n.a.lasuo members had been turned to stone. They had not comprehended their loss yet. The mighty Ma.n.a.lasuo Empire, fallen at the top 32.
A shameful 0-4.
It only began to dawn when the judge announced the result. The hall erupted into shattering cheers.
This was a miracle!
This was a battle G.o.d!
The Caragal members exchanged glances. Suddenly, they saw the joy in their comrades’ eyes.
Because their luck was really too good. They had not needed to fight the Solar System for top 16 placements and, after entering the top 16, they would not be matched up against the monster that was the Solar System either.
d.a.m.n, this was no dark horse, this was definitely one of the strongest teams of this IG!
Sun G.o.d Achilles, King Lear Chronos, and of course the most terrifying of all, their leader.
What kind of person was this?!
When w.a.n.g Zheng made his appearance, his teammates and the representative group had already swarmed up and threw him into the air.
Meng Ao and the rest almost rushed out as well, but as generals they had to maintain some dignity, and could not be as boisterous as these youths. But their faces sported identical, childlike grins. The day they had waited for had finally come!
Such a person!
Someone who could bring Earth and the Solar System to rise to power!
No, more accurately, someone who could shake the entire Milky Way!
Achilles was mild as always, while Lear still kept his haughty manner.
To have one such genius was a heaven-send, and now there were three in the Solar System team.
They would definitely take the place by storm!
The various zones were more or less coming to conclusions as well. The entire IG, especially the ace teams, were shook when they heard of Ma.n.a.las...o...b..ing swept 0-4.
Everybody’s first reaction was that the scores had been flipped!
Ma.n.a.lasuo had been one of the invited teams for this compet.i.tion!
The IG’s evaluation could not have been wrong. They were all-rounded, and had ability to back their reputation. Especially at this stage, in a best of seven, there was no such thing as coincidence anymore.
So! Lar! Sys! Tem! So! Lar! Sys! Tem!
Ye Zisu and Yan Xiaosu were beside themselves with happiness as well. They had had full confidence in w.a.n.g Zheng, but had felt helplessness when they witnessed the horrifying attack of Radiant Wheel King. But w.a.n.g Zheng had actually dispelled the unbelievable attack, displaying the highest level of both attack and defense.
The Atlanteans had made an exit, but as they left, it was clear that they had a different look in their eyes.
This Solar System team had the minimum ability to warrant a match with them, if they could make it that far.
Max led his team over to offer their congratulations. They had actually triumphed over the great Ma.n.a.lasuo, an extraordinary outcome.
What most shook Max was that after such a battle, w.a.n.g Zheng was not exhausted. Despite the sheen of sweat, his breathing seemed largely in control.
Was this a robotic monster?
Max and his team did not intrude for long, because they knew the Solar System must be eagerly looking forward to their celebration. This was the furthest they had made it in the IG.
But because of this battle, the Solar System would not meet a similar reception as they had enjoyed in the past. They would be scouted and a.n.a.lyzed by their opponents with a magnifying gla.s.s, in order to identify their weaknesses.
n.o.body was flawless. No team was unbeatable. Not only the Solar System team, but even Caragal was the same. Entering the top 16, they had lost all appet.i.te for speculation. Only intelligence and strength would carry them forward.
In his excitement, Yan Xiaosu had forgotten about those friends faraway on Earth.
The compet.i.tion had been too mind-blowing, causing Yan Xiaosu to forget that he was tasked with conveying the news. At this moment, Yao Ailun and Old Deer were commentating a friendly match. While they were working, they were still cheering for the Solar System Federation team that was fighting on faraway Aslan.
A million-strong crowd was a rare phenomenon in other CT zones. This was definitely a heated atmosphere. This also helped to improve Solon’s position with central headquarters, especially when it was known that Skeleton was actually a student of Ares College. It was a legend brought to life, and now w.a.n.g Zheng was competing in the IG. Once word got out, they would no longer need to live in their dreams anymore.
Only, when they were competing for the top 16, the Solar System team had matched up against Ma.n.a.lasuo. Even those who barely knew what was going on could see that the game was up. As long as they did not lose too badly, it would be fine. In this regard, Earthlings had only too much experience. Not just losses, but they would often be destroyed and humiliated.
Old Deer eyed Yao Ailun, who shook his head slightly. He looked at his own Skylink, but there was no news. A strange feeling gripped them.
If they had won, it was impossible that there would be no word. Unless they had lost, and very badly…
Old Deer’s expression darkened briefly, but quickly returned to normal. He was a professional caster, and had to control his emotions. “Till now we have no further information. Ma.n.a.lasuo is one of the strongest countries in the Milky Way. Their mech research is leading edge, and the best mech pilots on Ma.n.a.lasuo can receive the t.i.tle of ‘mechnist.’ Regardless of the result, we’ll count it a victory as long as our members can fight proudly on behalf of the Solar System!”
At that moment, Ares College was fretting. “What is that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Yan Xiaosu playing at? Win or lose, he’s got to tell us!”
“Chen Xiu, go bug him. What’s the situation? There wouldn’t have been a death, would there?”
Chen Xiu was very anxious as well. At this moment, the Skylink rang. The news had arrived. Chen Xiu was stunned.
Those around him swarmed over. What expression was this? Had someone died?
But everybody who saw the result was stunned too. Their initial reaction was… could this be a mistake?
After a while, Yan Xiaosu’s silhouette appeared, with his hands raised in celebration. “Just at this moment, a miracle has happened. The majestic Solar System fought wonderfully. We swept the Ma.n.a.lasuo team 4-0. It was a pity that this paltry score was incapable of reflecting our true strength. This is truly a miracle!”
The whole place erupted. Very quickly, the whole school was afire with the news. The Solar System Federation team had swept the Ma.n.a.lasuo Empire 4-0, and entered the top 16. At first, everybody thought it was fake news, but they soon realized the truth of it.
Solon went through the official channels for proof, but all he obtained was the score as well.
But the CT official website had a new announcement: Congratulations to the Solar System Federation team, sweeping Ma.n.a.lasuo in a 4-0 and entering the IG top 16!
Old Deer was still commentating. Yao Ailun had already leapt out of his chair. Old Deer was staring agape. d.a.m.n, Brother, you’re also half-professional yourself, control yourself already.
“Old Deer, we swept Ma.n.a.lasuo 4-0!”
“F*ck! As expected, we… What did you say? We swept Ma.n.a.lasuo???”
“That’s right! Hahaha, ladies and gentlemen, the news has just arrived. The Solar System Federation team swept Ma.n.a.lasuo 4-0. d.a.m.n me, who would still dare to belittle us? In the fourth match, our captain, w.a.n.g Zheng, who is also our Skeleton, completely destroyed the Ma.n.a.lasuo super genius, the youngest mechnist in history, Vincent!”
At that moment, the entire CT forum broadcast room, military forum broadcast, etc. all erupted. d.a.m.n, this was a dream. Even one’s best daydreams could not compare! There wasn’t even a need to mention YY 1 !
Both sides in the friendly match had stopped. Then the strangest thing happened. Both mecha were hugging each other tightly in celebration…
But who could blame them?
We were members of the mighty Solar System Federation!
