Tempest of the Stellar War

Chapter 418: The Second Heavenly Battle

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The Solar System Federation had greatly provoked the desires to show off for the experts of big teams. During the afternoon time, the people of Atlantis, who had always been low-profile, also could not endure anymore and showed off their skills. And their opponent, the Earthworm Federation team, had completely become a group of earthworms.

Even though the strongest of the Atlanteans, their team leader and vice team leader, did not go up, the endless stream of people demonstrating their ability to create mirages had immediately caused the Earthworm team to be stumped.

0-4, a complete defeat. The large disparity of this battle simply could not be shown, because from the beginning till to the end, the people of the Earthworm Federation did not even get to touch their opponent at all.

This rhythm of things was like they were a kindergarten kid who was being hung up and beaten by fully grown adults

However, nobody would blame the Earthworm team, as this was because the people of Atlantis were really too strong. They were so relaxed, and it had always been a problem which perplexed mankind as to how they should response and how should they deal with the people of Atlantis. However, for the IG this year, there were definitely not just one or two problems.

The final top 8 had emerged.

Team Atlantis Republic, team Maya Empire, team Aslan Empire, team Solar System Federation, team Arbiter Republic, team Hail Cloud Alliance, team Ghana, and team Gemini.

There was no rest. In the afternoon of that very day, the team leaders of each team drew lots to determine the battles for their team to advance into the semifinals. However, since Wang Zheng was still recuperating, Lear, the vice team leader of the Solar System Federation, drew the lot on his behalf.

Everyone gathered together, and it could be said that every battle to get into the semifinals would be a tough fight. Even though they were all experts, no matter how strong you were, there would always be someone stronger. There were a few countries which everyone would still wanted to do their best to avoid, such as Atlantis. Nobody would wish to face them in the quarterfinals, but there would still be someone who had to face them, and this would all depend on luck.

The eight representatives came on stage and everyone drew a number. The Solar System Federation was all looking at the number in Lear’s hands. Off the stage, Aina had not left. As at this stage, as a princess, it was necessary for her to be present to cheer the Aslan team on.

First half: Team Arbiter Republic vs Team Ghana

Team Aslan Empire vs Team Maya Empire

Second Half: Team Solar System Federation vs Team Hail Cloud Alliance

Team Atlantis vs Team Gemini

When the results came out, the people of the Solar System Federation were happy yet worried. In short, this was considered a good draw, as the level of the Hail Cloud Alliance was around the same as the Solar System Federation. Compared to the other unpredictable abilities, ice abilities were somewhat more focused. However, even if the Solar System Federation team won against the Hail Cloud Alliance team, the one waiting for them would be the Atlantis team.

However, the unluckiest one was undoubtedly Ao Ziwei from Team Gemini. Her luck was really bad. She had drawn the Atlantis team for the quarterfinals battle, and this was definitely a bad draw. However, team Gemini seemed especially calm. The people of Gemini had never paid attention to their opponents, and Ao Ziwei also did not care too much about the mirage-creating abilities of the Atlanteans.

Nevertheless, this was good news for Wang Zheng as he would be able to rest for a longer while. After the in-depth treatment, he had more or less recovered. However, this kind of recovery might be just a facade. Going by what the doctors had said, his vital energy had yet to recover fully, hence they would not advise him to engage in intense battles. So, at this stage it was obvious that it would be impossible for Wang Zheng to fight. He could only try his best to recover as soon as possible.

The Primordial Regression Technique of Wang Zheng was still rotating continuously. Generally speaking, the foundation of Wang Zheng was still slightly weak. Even though he had gone through the transformation of the Rubik’s cube and there had been constant breakthroughs, compared to those warriors who had begun building their foundation from when they were three to four years old, there was certainly still a little disparity between them and Wang Zheng.

However, Wang Zheng believed that the matter would depend on the individual. Following the huge battle, the Primordial Regression Technique had clearly improved. It seemed like every time he had to wreck himself half dead, there would be improvements. And this method was truly quite masochistic.

Student Wang’s mentality was still pretty good. After receiving news on the results of the groups, Wang Zheng felt indifferent, as regardless of who they were up against, there were no weak opponents in the top 8. And there would be no good outcome if they were to underestimate their enemies.

Hail Cloud Alliance team. The year of the Dancing Ice Dragon marked the first year of a new era and a new emperor’s reign in the Hail Cloud Alliance.

With the maturation of interstellar travel, there was the appearance of more and more religions. To quote a sentence of truth: the more you knew, the more insignificant you seemed. Somewhere in the universe lay a set of forces beyond science which would explain the mysteries of everything.

This was very evident in the Hail Cloud Alliance, and Snow Lee was the chosen one of her people. When comparing hers to other, it did seem as though destiny favored her, as her strength simply could not be compared with that of an average person. She had definitely been blessed by the gods.

Meanwhile, for the Solar System team, although the Hail Cloud Alliance had beaten Astina, it did not necessarily mean that they had gone all out. Thus, at this stage, Lear and Achilles had to pick up the banner. It was not always possible for them to just let Wang Zheng fight alone with all his might.

They did not have to think too far ahead. The first thing they had to do now was to get through the battle with the Hail Cloud Alliance.

On the second day, after resting, even though Wang Zheng was still unable to fight, he could still show up to observe the battle. The first round to enter the semifinals, Arbiter against Ghana. These two teams were both badass, and they were also the most ruthless in their attacks amongst all the teams. As a result, they had also accumulated a large amount of hatred towards them. However, in the IG, almost everyone on those teams could be considered to be exceptionally notorious for being vicious.

This was the style of Arbiter and Ghana.

Their battle was definitely going to be very bloody, and it was clear that neither party would be giving way to the other.

The rules of the quarterfinals were even tougher. It used a five point system, the team that scored five points first would be able to advance to the semifinals.

For the victory of a 1v1 battle it would be one point, and for the victory of a team battle it would be three points. The team that scored two points first would be entitled to the choice of whether they would want to start a team battle or to continue on with 1v1s all the way until they scored five points.

Team battles were absolutely necessary. The strength of a 1v1 could not be compared to the strength of a team. And in reality, in the army, team cooperation would be bring about greater results than an individual hero.

During the quarterfinals, almost all the delegates who were still at the military base were present. The battles that were going to take place next would be a representation of the highest level of successors at the current period, groomed by the various countries.

The three malignant stars were already itching to get on with it, to kill the thing who was called Oli-something. They were the most capable and most fiendish. One individual like this on the team would have been enough, but instead there were three.

The bloodthirstiness of Ghana was even more intense than Arbiter.

Adams walked to the front of the stage… Damn it, at such a crucial moment, Olivios was being late.

What kind of situation was this?

“Referee, the time is already up. If Olivios does not show up, does that mean that you would judge us as the winning team?” Adams teased. He was definitely not afraid of Olivios, and he just wanted to tease the people of the Arbiter.

Beo, the vice team leader of Arbiter, stood up. “Even if our team leader is not around, Arbiter can still easily wipe all of you out.”

“For mankind, besides being better at their talking skills, there is nothing special about the rest of them. Just with you?” Andrew’s voice was a little sharp, and the pupils of his eyes had shrunk to thin lines. It was evident that this Naga was already having bloodthirsty impulses.

“To exterminate a freakish creature like you, I would only need one hand.”

“What’s the situation with Olivios? Are we going to start?”

“Could it be he was scared away?”

“The team members of Ghana are pretty cruel. It is said that they had to face life or death during their selection training.”

“Olivios is also not that bad. Is he injured? Or did something happen to him? He also left earlier during the previous battle and did not participate at all.”

“I heard that his training was pretty brutal. It can’t be that he injured himself during practice?”

Amid everyone’s conversations, Olivios appeared. And in an instant, the whole scene quietened down.

…

“Olivios, I thought you guys were scared. Actually, there is no need to force yourself, I will give you a chance to surrender,” Adams teased, but he knew very clearly in his heart that Olivios would never surrender. However, the more he was such a person, the more easily he would be provoked. Other people might not dare to provoke him, but that did not mean that he also did not dare to.

Olivios did not look at all these people, he just swept a glance at the referee indifferently. “I will choose the Team Leader Heavenly Battle.”

…

Cold wind blew across the whole audience. This… was he joking?

But the Arbiter team members were very calm and collected, they just shook their heads grudgingly. The Ghanaians were truly stupid. They had infuriated the very person they should not have infuriated. Perhaps some people would lose their calm when they were infuriated, but the outcome of infuriating Olivios was definitely not going to be that.

The reason Wang Zheng had called for the Team Leader Heavenly Battle at that time was because there was no choice. It looked as though Olivios was trying to act cool by immediately calling for a Heavenly Battle at this crucial point of the quarterfinals.

However, Adams agreed to it without any hesitation. “Haha, Olivios is indeed a man who killed thousands. We, team Ghana, will accept it! Brothers, let’s go prepare! Sir Olivios is going to teach us how to be a man. Everyone, we cannot disappoint him!”

All the people of team Ghana were laughing, and laughing rather sinisterly. In Ghana, your reputation or oaths were all nonsensical stuff. The most practical things were to have power and money. And if Ghana emerged as the champion, they would be able to gain fiefs, slaves, and a considerable amount of wealth. These were the symbols of honor in Ghana.

This was the most practical.

Facing Arbiter, they were easy to fight against, but they were also a little worried. As for Adams, the reason why he was able to be the team leader was not just because he was a human being, but it was also because he was the most sinister type of human being. For human beings who would want to survive and adapt on Ghana, none of them would be normal.

The competition started just like this, during all the discussions. The Arbiter was arrogant. Wang Zheng was the first to call for a Heavenly Battle, and in this case, Olivios was the first who dared to call for a Heavenly Battle in the quarterfinals.

The difficulty level was even higher, as from the battles earlier, it could be seen that no one in Ghana was good to provoke.

Olivios chose the comparatively classic mech of Arbiter, the Overlord.

As for Ghana’s side, they all chose what they were good at. Adams chose the Star of Ghana, Andrew chose Scorpion, while Gejoles chose the Steel Desolate Beast…

The Ghanaians were truly planning to act ruthlessly. They would crush Olivios completely.

The Wind God of Wang Zheng clearly possessed very strong mobility, and that was the deciding factor. However, the Overlord absolutely did not have the the strong mobility of the Wind God, and together with the lineup of Ghana, it was totally possible for them to kite him to death.

The mecha appeared as usual. The Overlord appeared, the ordinary Overlord which had nothing special about it. How was it going to fight?

Everyone was asking the same question in their minds. It was unimaginable. If one were to say the Wind God was extraordinary, it was due to the fact that no one would have had expected that the Wind God had such amazing capabilities. However, for the Overlord, it was just like that, nobody was unclear about anything. Besides the one Sky Rocket Canon, what else could it do?

Its defensive ability was still pretty good, but would it really be able to defend against all of the attacks from Ghana?

Zhang Shan opened his mouth to speak. “F*ck, Wang Zheng, this Olivios is copying you. It feels like he is going to be struck by lightning.” Even though he had wanted to do the same thing as Wang Zheng, considering that he only had this one life, he could only give up on this idea.

Wang Zheng did not say anything. He was afraid that Olivios was not someone who would speak without thinking. However, he had witnessed the strength of the Ghanaians before. They had unique characteristics: they were able of attack and defend. Between Adams and his two friends, the three of them were fierce and tough. From a theoretical point of view, the Steel Wild Beast was not the least bit weaker than the Overlord, and its flexibility to unleash a burst attack might even be above that of the Overlord.
