Tempest of the Stellar War

Ai Xiaolu’s expression was rather solemn. “I’ve just received the news. The younger generation who has been granted the true rights to guard the temple, other than number five, number three and number six were selected too, and this does not include Atlas.”

Zhang Shan wanted to swear. “Could it be because Atlas is a rich playboy? If I were that handsome, rich playboy…”

Luo Er shook her head. “The royal family of Atlantis is similar to the Mayans, and are equivalent to the powerful and most talented. In their own words, this is like a gift from God.”

Zhang Shan opened his mouth but spoke no more. This did not seem to be within his scope of consideration.

The Atlanteans demonstrated a team annihilation situation. Their use of the runes declared the strength of Atlantis to the world.

In recent times, all the countries of the Milky Way Alliance were preparing to make their move. This was because of the rise of the empires’ strengths, especially the advancement to their armaments, thus they were starting to misbehave a little. Military competitions among the various countries were actually disguised arms races. But Atlantis did not take part in those. They were only competing in the college type, and using this approach to highlight their country’s strengths. However, following the advancement of the other countries, especially regarding the understanding of the use of the runic mecha, they no longer seemed to take Atlantis seriously.

This SIG was an opportunity for the Atlanteans to use their strength to inform the humans to remain low-profile.

The generals in the VIP room were very quiet too. Obviously, this sudden change in situation had also caught most of them by surprise. Only Lin Hong was not feeling as shocked. He knew a little about it but did not expect that it would be to such an extent. This was the essence of the Atlanteans’ technology. Her Highness Aina was the only person in Aslan who knew a little about this. But this thing was strange, and could not be imparted through words. Firstly, Aina could not disclose information because she was bound by her vows. Even then, even if she had wanted to, it was beyond words. According to the Atlanteans’ saying, this spiritual transfer was a blessing from the gods.

This was not what the generals were considering. In the Atlantean army, the mecha such as the Phantom King and the Specter King were very rare, commonly known as high-end and special. The runic mecha were such conventional mecha.

They would be fools if they still did understand by now.

The Rune Warriors were the real military strength of the Atlanteans. All the warriors were able to control such power, the only difference was the level of strength. An armoury with common runic mecha like the Phantom King was a low-end training machine…. No wonder even the kids knew how to use them. Yet the humans were still complacent after all these years…

Terrorizing?

It was dependent on strength, not on the loud voices!

As always, the Atlanteans sat quietly and appeared as if nothing had happened, and they did not even feel that victory was a big deal. They had merely just completed a mission.

Atlas certainly understood how the humans felt. However, lately, there had been increasing disputes within the regions of the Milky Way Alliance. Instead of saying they were disputes, they were more like issues instigated by the more powerful countries. The Atlanteans were sending out warnings by taking part in this SIG. The Atlanteans were staying neutral, and do not desire war. Even if war broke out, they would warn the countries that harboured ill intentions for Atlantis to back off. If they were to invade, they would face the wrath of the Atlanteans!

This was just runic technology for individual soldiers, but do not presume that Atlantis did not possess any heavy weapons.

The thought that this was a conventional arsenal sent chills down the spines of the people of many countries.

When the Aslan people came to their senses, they were not stingy with their applause. They were their loyal allies.

But the applause seemed rather lonely. After all, the other countries were undeniably terrorized.

“Wang Zheng, do you know this stuff?” Zhang Shan suddenly asked.

Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Do you really think I’m God?”

“Geez, no matter how mystical the power is, there’s still the essence. If you can use the Phantom King, why can’t you use this? Just do a little research. Man, what if we encounter this?”

“Shut it! Don’t jinx it!” replied Ai Xiaolu immediately.

Wang Zheng did not say anything. He was actually extremely interested. To him, it might really not be impossible, although he really had no idea about the principle behind the power. Although all principles were similar, it would be ideal if he had some concepts to begin with.

Mid-day break. Everyone had just recovered from the shock. They were completely mesmerised by the strength of the Atlanteans. Even Saruman Snake had loss their dignity. The strength of Atlantis was obviously much more powerful than that of its opponents. The power that everyone had displayed was enough to make other teams worry. However, what spiritual realm had this Prince Atlas reached? Could his spiritual power have broken through grade B?

The Atlanteans had been perceived as possessing only spiritual power that lacked variations, and were weak in combat skills. Yet, looking at these shortcomings now, they were, in fact, their strengths.

Moreover, the Atlanteans understood quite clearly now that the humans had no insight regarding the runic technology.

Inequality.

Even till the afternoon, everyone was still recovering from the shock. But the last qualifying match for a spot in the quarter-finals had started.

Aslan’s Military Affairs battle team of was up against the Pioneer battle team.

This was a team from the Heaven’s Arrows Federation. The Heaven’s Arrows Federation had always been an average team in the Milky Way Alliance. Their region was also rather remote. They had been growing steadily in recent years, and had kept a rather low profile in their international relations. However, among the federation states, its developments were considered very good. At this SIG, they had also made a breakthrough to reach the quarter-finals.

But they were now facing the powerful Aslan battle team.

Tang Zheng, the captain of the Heaven’s Arrows battle team, was an unknown, at least up until now. But this time, he could not be a total unknown. At least he was an Earth-rank wood element warrior.

In the first battle, the Heaven’s Arrows battle team used the same trick as the Iron and Steel battle team. Tang Zheng debuted, and he was definitely an Earth-rank warrior. This was the sorrow of the small federation. If it had been a renowned country, he would have been an overnight celebrity. But in a small federation, he could only gain recognition in an international competition like this.

Tang Zhen was very skillful in his physical technique and wood element Ability X. Even then, it took quite some effort before he eventually took the victory. But this result was expected as it was, after all, a captain-level fighter.

But the Heaven’s Arrows battle team lost the next two rounds to the Military Affairs battle team. Qiankun Zadeh did not even need to come on, thus revealing the definitive differences in strength.

After all, it was Aslan’s home ground. In addition, based on the Heaven’s Arrows battle team’s past results, it was considered a good result for them to have reached this stage.

However, in the final team battle, an unexpected, jaw-dropping scene occurred.

The seemingly hopeless Heaven’s Arrows battle team was fearless, and were ready to fight it out till the end.

There was no reason for the Military Affairs battle team to be in fear. But they were forced to a series of draws.

The five mecha of the Heaven’s Arrows battle team represented the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth powers of the Five Elements. They all chose warrior-type mecha. The most fearful thing about them was that they were obviously pretending to be weak during the individual battles. All the five of them possessed rather fearsome combat skills. Above it all, their spiritual coordination was extremely proficient.

Less than ten minutes into the battle, the Military Affairs battle team collapsed. No wonder their sniper and tank did not feel so exquisite. These five individuals were essentially warriors.

This show-cased the best combat and spiritual coordination since the start of the SIG. It seemed like a one-to-one battle, but in actual fact, the Military Affairs battle team was engaged in a one-to-five battle.

This kind of spiritual teamwork was known as resonance in Ability X research. In the past, there was a pair of twin brothers in Elite Academy X who could do this. But that was because they were related and their spiritual coordination was in sync. Unexpectedly, that the five members of the Heaven’s Arrows battle team could do this too.

The display of their combat skills was equally impressive, giving no indication that they were a weak team.
