Tempest of the Stellar War

Each attack was a work of art. APP had initially guessed that the opponent’s mech would survive 10 seconds, tops, before it was subdued. But 10 minutes had passed, and the opponent was still alive and kicking. In fact, on their screen, the waves of red dots were disappearing…

Could he really be thinking of breaking through the middle?

“Advance!” APP ordered. Whichever the case, they could no longer afford to just wait around.

The Falcon team immediately moved out, the scout leaping ahead. Although they were not sure what was happening, but they still kept their discipline.

They had the help of Hawkeye, as well as the scout’s detection. They moved forward quickly. Clearly, this Manalasuo Falcon team was familiar with the terrain, deftly maneuvering around Zerg nests with ease.

Of course, there was the possibility that the nests had already been cleared.

“Hawkeye, report on the situation!” APP requested. At this distance, Hawkeye should be able to see the battlefield situation.

“Hawkeye, what’s the situation? Leader’s talking to you!”

In midair, MU was as though he had been hit with a body-bind curse.

Was this a demon?

After a beat, MU finally responded, sharing the battlefield signal. In an instant, the rest were petrified as well.

APP’s eyes narrowed. What kind of piloting was this???

In their view, the Gold Wheel mech seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll. The gold light flashed out, reaping everything in its path like wheat. The entire streaming studio was silent.

To think that such a fighter actually existed, and could pilot a mech on this level?

Wang Zheng had no intention on completely exterminating the worms, and could not. It would take too much time. Besides, this was not a worm killing contest. After some time, Wang Zheng suddenly broke out of the worms’ encirclement.

What was left behind was mountains of Zerg corpses.

What surprised Wang Zheng was that the Gold Wheel mech had already provided early warning that the opponent was just 1km away from him.

APP and his team’s mouths were dry, as though they had been hit by an enfeebling curse. Their limbs felt a little rigid.

This was a legendary execution, the highest level that the Gold Wheel could reach.

“No, this is just CT. Don’t be mesmerized, everybody! Follow our battle strategy. We are not brainless worms. Ready yourselves for battle!”

APP bellowed. It was unclear if it was directed towards his teammates or himself.

But in the end they were Manalasuo professional players who understood the larger picture. After APP’s wake up call, they regained their composure. Each found the best ambush spot, and settled down to wait for their opponent’s advance.

When the Gold Wheel mecha had broken free of the Zerg enclosure, the crowd had gone wild, as though he had already won. Regardless of the subsequent outcome, they had seen more than their ticket price. This was godlike control.

On the official screen, the mecha control statistics were streaming constantly.

“Put the Gold Wheel operation comparability charts up.” Solon directed. This was the newest segment, where the pilot’s stress levels, and split-second decision making could be seen, alongside various kinds of analyses.

On the audience’s little screen, a dark shading appeared, as well as various figures. These were for the professional audience and high-level players, as the average layman would not notice.

“Is he really gonna barge straight in? The opponent is already lying in wait. If he keeps this up, he’s going to get ambushed.”

“He should rest up first. After fighting for so long, there’s still 5 ahead!”

“If he really wins this, I’ll immediately buy the Gold Wheel mech to play!”

Wang Zheng’s Gold Wheel mecha still maintained its forward speed, neither hurried nor slow. He obviously knew that his opponents were already waiting to ambush him.

Prince’s team members were already absolutely shaken, but Prince’s face still held a beatific smile. After not seeing him for a year, he had evolved to be even more terrifying.

If it could be said that the Skeleton of the past took battle very seriously, at this current stage, it seemed like he could do whatever he wished. Could the world of the military really be so captivating?

Prince began to harbor thoughts of joining the army. He could be a streaming player, or even take up a job at CT. His friends had indeed done so, but Prince felt that these paths would not be able to satisfy his heart’s desire.

Wang Zheng had already entered the killing ground. In a flash, a shadow darted across. It was Manalasuo’s scout, already rushing towards Wang Zheng’s flank at full speed. Once up close, the Gold Wheel mecha would be helpless.

The Berserk Barbarian was shaking with excitement. All scout players had the kind of personality that loved to walk the knife’s edge. Maximum shock, maximum frenzy. That was what Berserk Barbarian was feeling now. Kill!

But in the same instant that the Type-Zero Scout flashed out like an icy beam, the Gold Wheel mecha had already reacted, the gold wheels flashing out.

Berserk Barbarian’s response was quick as lightning as well. He had no intention of avoiding it, opening the energy shields to take the hit. He would finish him!

BOOM…

The gold wheels shook the mecha with great impact as they struck. Berserk Barbarian forced the controls forward. No matter how fast it was, it could not possibly be faster than him!

But by the time Berserk Barbarian had finished recovering, the second wheel had arrived.

BOOM…

With this blow, the mecha lost its balance. In an instant, Berserk Barbarian’s limbs turned to ice. The energy shield only had a third of its power left.

BOOM…

The third wheel came as expected, and an explosion could be heard.

Mech exploded… at the same time, the sniper concealed in the shadows made its move as well.

Ping…

Wang Zheng’s second wheel casually blocked the sniper’s attack, the gold wheel whistling out.

MMT smiled coldly, gathering energy in his sniper rifle. This shot would be the finisher. At such a long distance, did he really think he was a god?

The golden wheel’s thrown trajectory, over such a long distance, would clearly be inaccurate. It would whistle harmlessly above him. A miss, as good as a mile.

The sniper rifle energy had finished charging. Go to hell!

Shing…

In that instant, time stopped. The sniper mecha’s brain flew out. MMT was completely in disbelief. How could that have happened???

When it neared the target, the high-speed gold wheel dipped, separating the head of the careless mecha cleanly.

APP could not believe the sight in front of his eyes. His two strongest teammates, who had seen them through to victory in countless battles, had fallen, cut down like powerless infants.

An earsplitting rumble came from beside, and APP was shocked. “MU, back down!”

This punk was a pure support. This was madness!

At the same time, the heavy mech rushed out as well. It was as though something had gripped their souls and made them restless. APP had no choice but to commit, moving his Gold Wheel mech forward. Life or death would rest on this.

The heavy Kyle was about to go crazy. If he did not move, he really would. He did not believe that the Gold Wheel could break his super strong defense.

Wang Zheng’s Gold Wheel mecha did not slow in the slightest, two gold wheels leaving his hands. One flew straight up, the other straight towards the heavy mecha.

The crowd was going crazy, and the numbers were even more unbelievable. Dual wield!!!

God! Was the Gold Wheel even capable of dual wielding? Was this for real!

Just moving them at the same rhythm would be disgusting enough, but each moved at their individual pace, from a different angle of assault. This was…

The audience numbers had surpassed 26 million. This was a godlike performance.

BOOM BOOM…

BOOM… BOOM…

In just 2 moves, the Hawkeye in the sky had exploded. Given his air evading speed, he was doomed against a flying golden wheel. As for the heavy mecha, he could only stand 3 wheel strikes.

When APP rushed forward, he realized that he was alone already.

The same Gold Wheel mech. But to him, there was no hope.

Two gold wheels flew out towards Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng’s Gold Wheel mecha gently gestured, retracting his own wheels in that exact same instance. APP’s heartrate soared. His opponent was getting careless.

Wang Zheng dodged the two gold wheels which flew past him, but they were homing back to form two killing pathways.

Wang Zheng smiled slightly, and did not even look back. The Tita Star trip had taught him a lot. From the sound of the wind, he could determine the position of the opponent’s wheels. His understanding of the wind was a game-changing factor.

The two gold wheels were casually batted away just before they struck. Ping ping…

APP’s two gold wheels were immediately deflected. APP immediately rushed to retract them.

Shing shing…

Silence.

APP’s Gold Wheel mecha’s arms had been cut off.

Wang Zheng’s two wheels were still spinning, but he made no move. APP’s Gold Wheel was kneeling on the floor.

He did not know how to fight anymore.

This was abject despair.

“Dual wielded gold wheels, is this even humanly possible…” APP mumbled to himself. His idol, Vincent, was the best at the Gold Wheel mech he knew. But even Vincent could not pull this off, even at CT’s lower difficulty.

Who was this guy?

Suddenly a name came to mind.

In the entire galaxy, only one person could bring the Gold Wheel to such heights. He was Manalasuo’s boon and bane. He had turned Manalasuo’s shame to glory, then brought them low again.

The undisputed King of IG!

Wang Zheng!

Not just him, but his team members were beginning to realize it themselves. He was the only one capable of using the Gold Wheel mech this way.

On Manalasuo, millions of viewers were watching as well. Losing at CT to Earth made them riled up. But in this instant, millions of viewers were silent.

In another location Vincent closed his eyes after watching the match. In just a few months’ time, he had become even more terrifying. Perhaps that thing was the only way. If he wanted to become even stronger, he had to risk it all…

Vincent’s Skylink had a similar application installed inside as some others…

Old Deer smiled, and Yao Ailun had regained his swagger. Only Bei Er was so overwhelmed that she could only look around, completely oblivious to the fact that she was on the verge of a nip-slip.

Such power had never been seen before.

After the battle ended, Chen Xiu had leaped forward. “Brother Zheng, that was awesome!”

Chen Xiu’s eyes were huge and shining like the stars. He had been truly immersed in the game.

Wang Zheng was not too shaken. “It was OK. Who knew that this map had so many worms?”

Chen Xiu was taken aback. “You didn’t know?”

“I haven’t been playing for a long time, how would I know?” Wang Zheng waved it off. If he had known, he would not have wasted so much time in the middle. Killing worms took no technical skill, to Wang Zheng. In reality there was some value, but in CT it was a complete waste of time.”

“Little Xiu, don’t worry about it. Wang Zheng lives in a world that we do not understand.” Yao Ailun said.

That said, the match had left Wang Zheng feeling good. In the end, keeping too low a profile had not suited him at all. Ever since he had learnt the Primordial Regression Technique, the power inside him had been irrepressible. Gu Te’s intentions were good, but they did not suit him.

Coal only turned to diamond under pressure. And he was not afraid of trouble.

Wang Zheng was fine, but he had no idea of the havoc he had caused in the CT circle. After the match ended, the viewers actually increased. Many had not been able to make it for the live broadcast, but the word of mouth had conveyed its terrifying power. Even some old viewers who had left CT were galvanized. It had inadvertently turned into a special moment.
