Chapter 989: Fight or Flight

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was a totally unexpected turn of events. They always thought that Olivios was scary enough, until Marzu made his move. Only then everyone finally understood what was truly terrifying.

Aslan had finally been beaten fiercely. Their battle tactics and talents were not bad, but that was the problem.

Arbiters were also not lacking in talent. The important part was that they trained harder and had even trained to a point where it would be unbearable for most people. And on the battle experiences, they put more emphasis on the basics, to return to the basics.

Perhaps Arbiters were not especially popular or interesting, but they were definitely effective.

The victorious Arbiters let out celebratory cheers. They had indeed been suppressed for these two competition seasons. Asura was obviously very strong, but their battle results were not ideal. Arbiters were also humans. They had thoughts in their hearts when being compared. This time, they were finally comforted.

All the students from the Arbiter Military Academy stood up and rested their palms on their chests. The glory of their country filled all of their hearts.

Marzu was the standard of beating 10 with one’s incredible strength. He directly beat the Aslan citizens until they were dejected.

Di Maria and the others were all relatively downcast, especially Di Maria. He had just boasted and then was beaten fiercely immediately. He had lost face.

But at this moment, Aina and Lin Huiyin did not criticize the Imperial Glory team members. Instead, they encouraged them.

Winning and losing were normal for soldiers. The important thing was to gain experience from losing.

Di Maria had to be more hardworking. His talent surpassed his peers. However, to be honest, it was because he was so talented that he gained results so easily. The work he put in could never be compared to that of Marzu and Olivios. You could even say that the difference was huge.

And in this battle, Di Maria made a grave mistake. He could not react well enough to sudden changes. When the heavy armor and scout were both eliminated, he should have sensed that something was wrong.

This was not a cage. They could have avoided and pulled the distance apart. Obviously, Marzu’s condition would last long. But all the Imperial Glory members rushed up. That was not smart.

Of course, this was from the view of God. Under that atmosphere, it was indeed hard to make the judgement.

But it was this moment that determined who won and who lost.

Di Maria was the most depressed, but he controlled his emotions in the end.

This failure was a heavy blow for him. It was also the first time in his life that he had experienced such a failure in public.

The Arbiter members came out too. Marzu was expressionless, but everyone could sense that his situation was not the best. It looked like there was some inherent problem in his Ability X. This type of ability was too scary, but they all knew that strong powers came with great burden on the body.

Enthusiastic cheers welcomed the Arbiter members. No matter when it was, the strong never lacked fans.

This time, Asura really lived up to its name.

The first round was over. There was one week of rest in between. This was also for spiritual recovery, to ensure that both parties would be in tip top condition when they battled.

After one week, the Saruman Snake battle team would be up against the serious challenge of the ultimate battleship: the Asura battle team.

Basically after this battle, the result was quite obvious. Asura was sure to get the first place. As for who would be second, it was not important anymore. Of course, if Saruman Snake could get second place, that was also something very glorious. After all, the morale of Imperial Glory was very low. If they gave up on themselves, there was still a chance for the Saruman Snake battle team. As for the battle against Asura, based on battle technique, they should simply surrender and conserve their strength.

To everyone, there was no difference to the end result, regardless of their attitude.

When the competition ended, the audience could enthusiastically discuss the terror of the Asura battle team. You have to know that even Olivios had yet to make a move. The battle was as predicted, there was no way to block. Actually, the battle team’s ability was very similar to their country’s reaction. Aslan’s overall national power was stronger than Arbiter. This was without doubt. But if just talking about fighting power, that was not easy to say. Aslan had talent, but Arbiter was hardworking.

As an involved party, the Saruman Snake battle team members were less relaxed.

One Olivios was still manageable, but now, with the addition of Marzu, it was too difficult to handle.

Wang Zheng and Olivios could be matched against each other. Then what about Marzu?

The other positions in Asura were not weak, and they were indeed faced with a very difficult choice.

Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun finally saw what powerful people were. Especially Yao Ailun, who watched CT competitions every day. Because the difficulty level was low, there was always some exaggerated techniques. But today, he had finally widened his horizons. Reality would always be more seductive than virtual. He watched with continuous high feelings. Except, sh*t, this was the opponent and not his own people!

This was something very troubling.

Saruman Snake was very strong, but Asura was totally unsolvable. What could Wang Zheng do?

Wang Zheng seemed to be the same. They could not see anything from him.

Everyone was discussing the Asura battle team. They discussed Marzu. The senior Marzu who was silent for so long had once again educated the freshmen on how to behave.

This was a truly powerful person. The stronger they were, the lower the profile they kept. An obnoxious person like Di Maria who had yet to even undergo puberty had to be beaten up seriously.

Who told him to have good looks, who told him to have the Time Ability X? So they beat him up!

This psychological test was enough for the Imperial Glory battle team to spend quite some time to regroup.

This battle also brought enjoyment to the various military academies around the world who were watching. So mecha could actually be used this way. So there really were super warriors in this world.

Returning to the training room, the Saruman Snake members immediately closed the doors and discussed. The battle today had sufficiently uncovered the trump cards of Imperial Glory and Asura. As one of the participants, they were calmer.

“Actually the distance between the abilities of Asura and Imperial Glory are not that far. Di Maria lacks experience. Those fake things affected his judgement. The Atlanteans’ performance was also average,” Achilles said. On abilities, it was not as obvious as displayed in the results. As warriors, they did not need to be enthralled by appearances.

“Di Maria had not lost before and was too proud. He should have steadied his advantages before slowly widening. But I think Marzu had never planned to use this move at all. He was probably forced to. Actually, Marzu is not as calm as we imagined, and not as indifferent to pride,” Ai Xiaolu said. To fight alone against a group, this in itself was not a smart move. While impressive in the results, it was, after all, not yet the fight for the championship.

“It’s a good thing for us. We only saw Marzu’s trump card.” Lie Xin nodded.

Except everyone... was still very stressed. They were no more relaxed or confident just because the trump card was exposed. This trump card was a little big.

They had no extra energy to bother about the matters of Imperial Glory. This one battle in front of their eyes was already as tall as a mountain.

“... Should we surrender this one battle?” Takumi suddenly said.

To give up on Asura and then fight Imperial Glory with all their might. This was also a battle tactic.

But this was definitely something difficult to decide on. Because even if they gave up one battle, it was not definite that they would win the other. But if they did not give up and went up against Asura’s full strength, and if they could not win, then the result...

Everyone’s gazes shifted towards Wang Zheng.
