"G.o.d! w.a.n.g Zheng chose the Rune Warrior in the last battle. Is he toying with us?"
"Mankind has a saying: smash the pot if it's cracked. w.a.n.g Zheng is trying to tell us that the reason why the Atlanteans are so strong is because of their machines!"
"This is a little unexpected. w.a.n.g Zheng actually made such a choice at the last battle. Is he creating a reason for his defeat?"
Different exaggerations, different expressions. But there was also different reactions.
The moment they saw w.a.n.g Zheng's choice, the Ma.n.a.lasuo Empire Academy was in absolute silence.
"Perhaps we will be seeing a real mechanist!"
What was a Ma.n.a.lasuo mechanist? It was someone who could control any mech, understand any mech. However, no one had ever truly achieved this. Maybe… w.a.n.g Zheng could.
Back on Earth, low spirits had enveloped Ares College. But at this moment, Yao Ailun jumped onto the table.
"Either live or die, now is the moment to witness a miracle!" Yap Ailun's bellow awakened the students who had been shocked by the strength of the Atlanteans. Right now, all they needed to do was to believe. If, in the Milky Way Alliance, there was still a final belief, it had to be Earth. It had to be Ares College!
This had to be their persistence!
This was because this was w.a.n.g Zheng!
Aslan's producers were still very sharp. The big screens instantly showed the battle that broke the legend of Atlantis. Phantom King versus Phantom King. w.a.n.g Zheng totally crushed his opponent!
It was w.a.n.g Zheng!
This time it was the Rune Warrior.
Si Jiali felt her heart thumping hard. "Captain Lilick, do you think that this is the result of w.a.n.g Zheng's well thought-out considerations?"
Jondi Lilick was silent for a moment. "Frankly, I have guessed the countless choices, but I never thought about this. Unless…"
"Unless what?" Si Jiali followed up closely with a question. However, Jondi Lilick did not answer because he himself could not believe it either.
The audience members who had pinned their hopes on w.a.n.g Zheng were silent after his choice. Wind G.o.d or Hercules - anything would have sufficed. Use something that he was skilled at. Not something that others were good at and that he would be good at too.
w.a.n.g Zheng could use the Phantom King or maybe the Rune Warrior. However, not only was the Rune Warrior great in terms of its performance, but also the Runic Matrices. This was the specialty of the Atlanteans!
"Don't tell me that w.a.n.g Zheng also knows how to use Runic Matrices. I can't see any Atlantean blood in him!"
"You're kidding me, right?! Even if he knows how to use Runic Matrices, he wants to use his half-bake knowledge against the Atlantean prince? Is he trying to explain to me the meaning of showing off in front of an expert?!"
"I wonder if he has been motivated by the fact that Saruman Snake has lost two closely contested battles in a row and wants to stake everything on this battle."
Discussions were also going on at the VIP seats. w.a.n.g Zheng's choice was really a shock to many people. It was unimaginable.
Honestly speaking, even if the Holy Light series would have been a better choice than the Rune Warrior. What was he thinking?
"If I were the leader of the team, I would tell w.a.n.g Zheng that the mech that could match the Rune Warrior is the Holy Light series," said a smiling Kashawen.
Everyone laughed too. Although it was a boast, it was also the truth.
They were already two-nil down. All pre-match mentions of hopes no longer mattered.
"Prime Minister Kashawen, would you dare to take a bet? I believe that w.a.n.g Zheng will win this math," General Bolet suddenly said.
Kashawen smiled slightly. She was not bothered at all by General Bolet's offensive words. "I can tell that General Bolet thinks very highly of w.a.n.g Zheng. I think everyone should be part of such an interesting matter. Whoever loses this bet will buy us dinner?"
"Since Aunt already believes that His Highness Dina will win, I will vote for w.a.n.g Zheng," said Aina with a smile.
"Haha, my Princess Highness has good taste. Anyone else interested?" asked Bolet.
The others were not so concerned. This was striking a balance. Kashawen was rooting for Atlantis, while Aina was rooting for Saruman Snake. They had managed to please both sides.
Except, no one realized the enmity behind their smiles.
"Count me in, w.a.n.g Zheng," said Governor Mu Shen. The close relations.h.i.+ps between the t.i.tans and w.a.n.g Zheng was not a secret. Furthermore, Mu Zhen was in Saruman Snake.
"Clearly, Prince Hao Lin is supporting Dina." Bolet looked at Hao Lin Zou Atlas.
The little prince smiled. "Can I vote for w.a.n.g Zheng? I like him a little."
Everyone was stunned now. What the heck was this???
"Haha, Your Highness has such big heart. Of course you can." Of course, Bolet did not take this to heart. After all, victory was already in hand. Giving a little support to the opponent was meaningless.
This was just excitement. Everyone was involved. He had intended to only target Kashawen. Unfortunately, she was really good at resolving difficult situations.
Huiyin stared at the big screens blankly. She could not hear anything. There were thousands of voices in her heart, chanting only the words "Please don't let anything bad happen, please don't let anything bad happen…"
The two contestants checked their mecha and took centre stage.
The moment the two Rune Warriors appeared in the arena, all doubts disappeared, leaving only loud cheers.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have now come to the decisive battle of the semi-finals of the SIG. For the Sea Queen battle team, they practically have victory in their hands. If they win this battle, Atlantis will be in to the finals. At the same time, they will create the record of defeating Saruman Snake in a sweeping three-nil victory, becoming an amazing battle team that has suppressed countless masters and their amazing captain, w.a.n.g Zheng!" said Jondi Lilick.
"Similarly, if w.a.n.g Zheng wins this battle, Saruman Snake will take this match to the team battle. Who will emerge victorious is anybody's guess. w.a.n.g Zheng has picked a mech he has never used before – the Rune Warrior. Regardless of the outcome, let us give the warmest applause for this great battle!"
Si Jiali's voice had become resounding too.
Cheers spread from the inside to the outside of the arena, instantly igniting the entire Knights of Light arena. Cheers from the millions filled the sky.
For the Solar System, there was no longer a difference between Earth, Moon, or Mars. At this moment, everyone had only one hope: w.a.n.g Zheng!
Achilles lied quietly in bed, watching the screen. w.a.n.g Zheng, fight. Do not leave any regrets.
Saruman Snake had never been in such a situation. Achilles and the rest had already given their best. However, the truth was that the difference between them was very huge. At this stage, no one had forced the burden of winning upon w.a.n.g Zheng.
The two mech warriors could feel the enthusiasm in the entire arena. Both their spiritual powers were extremely strong and acute. Furthermore, these sorts of emotions were most infectious for the warriors.
Rune Warrior versus Rune Warrior. This was destiny!
Dina Atlas had long heard about w.a.n.g Zheng for a long time now. They were finally meeting in the battlefield!
