Chapter 872 - 709: Match Paused
Michael suddenly regained his senses: "There are four Fallen Angels on the landing ship. Pava Landing has been the Guardian God of the Main City, and the other three have also been Commerce Guardian Gods. Theoretically, they are knowledgeable. Isn’t there even a slight possibility?"
Uriel was shocked: "If they entered last night, are they changing the ending? Are we still in time?"
Michael frowned: "Unless we know what’s happening inside!"
Uriel was anxious: "Only gods can know. All my Privilege Points used for plot kills couldn’t find the Black Dragon God. Boss, it’s all up to you!"
Gabriel sighed: "Heroes who die are only remembered for their glory. But those who come back alive are truly terrifying! If they turn the tables, then all the heroic titles bestowed upon them must be fulfilled and continually added. They have returned from millennia ago, which means they have each added a thousand years to their age, becoming legends of their races. Even their current clan leaders must kneel... As for Uriel, you’re involved in this plot kill, do you think they might retaliate and remove you from the board of directors?"
Uriel was utterly dumbfounded: "Boss!"
Michael said solemnly: "Turning the tables is absolutely impossible, I can’t explain to the Emperor—"
Thus he decisively contacted the fleet captain: "I have urgent matters to report directly to the Emperor!"
The fleet captain said: "I’m sorry, Sage, neither of us have that authority, but we can entrust the Military Department minister to relay—"
Has that lazy pig gotten up yet? As long as the fleet doesn’t explode, he just treats it as a joke!
Michael directly threw in tens of thousands of Privilege Points: "Time might be running out!"
The fleet captain didn’t waste any words: "Connecting to the Military Department, Privilege line application to the Emperor!"
Before long, the command screen was filled with a golden light, the Emperor’s majestic posture, divine pressure overwhelming even through the screen!
All the generals and officers in the command room were overcome with excitement, tears streaming down their faces, shouting hoarsely: "Long live the Emperor!!"
The Emperor’s loving voice echoed: "Soldiers, you’ve worked hard!"
The command room was once again in a frenzy: "For the Emperor!!!"
The Emperor waved his hand, the fervor in the command room instantly subsided, leaving only the soldiers’ unstoppable low sobs.
Michael immediately began to report: "Your Majesty, we haven’t found any wreckage of the Black Dragon City hero team’s landing ship in the Storm area. I suspect they’ve already entered the Spatial Gate last night. We are at a severe disadvantage in terms of time, I need... to fully reverse the situation!"
The Emperor was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "A thousand years ago, I was not yet a god, my privileges were limited, which also delayed the speed of obtaining firsthand information. I believe your deduction, but also require your full support!"
Michael decided on the spot: "I will use all the remaining 250,000 Privilege Points!"
The Emperor said: "Perhaps it’s still not enough, you’ll need credit."
How much credit?
Michael’s heart trembled but dared not ask, asking would mean hesitating, would mean disloyalty!
"I am willing!"
The Emperor said with satisfaction: "Leave the rest to me. Sage and all soldiers, do not be anxious, follow the planned technical procedures and traverse the Spatial Gate carefully."
The command room erupted once more: "For the Emperor!!!"
Even after the Emperor’s image disappeared from the big screen, the applause from the soldiers remained unending for a long time.
Michael looked at his Privilege Points: "-???"
This feels like dying!
Everyone watched in amazement: "Privilege Points can actually appear in this state!"
Uriel said: "Boss, don’t worry, as long as we can catch up with time, then we, no, you, boss, you too are a Sage returning from a millennium, you are also a legend among legends! These contributions spanning millennia will be recovered immediately."
Michael was finally a bit comforted: "But Uriel, having you cooperate with me is truly a grievance for you!"
Uriel laughed: "Though I am destined to be a failure, I am a failure returning from a thousand years ago too!"
...
Void Eden Arena.
The battle of the second round had already unfolded in the forest, turning into a logging camp, charcoal site. For Chun, it wasn’t really any different from the first round, he couldn’t see anything clearly anyway. And the advantage of his Earth Flame Body’s high physical Defense that could still block was vividly displayed, seemingly his blocking skill even leveled up a few times.
And he could hear occasional explosions from across the lake, seems like these two Grandmasters still had some skills.
Finally, a whistle sounded in the sky!
—Arena notice: Second round ends, the score is tied 2:2!
—Arena special notice: Given the decisive nature of the final round, the Divine Realm has requested a renegotiation of the rules. The finals will be postponed 24 hours. All participating teams may only remain in the arena’s preparation area.
...
Holy Shit!!!
The thing Chun feared the most finally happened! The Ten Lords, it must have been the Ten Lords interfering!
I obviously had the advantage of time, being ahead overnight, and they actually forcibly paused the match for a day, clearly trying to buy time for their travel through the Spatial Gate!
The key is, once the rules are modified, if Michael and Uriel join the battle, then Michael will surely be against us, Uriel will join our side—this must be an inside job, definitely shooting black bullets from behind! His black bullets aren’t just small tricks, those are Divine Artifacts exploding all over the place! Even if he doesn’t dare do it openly, at least our position will be completely exposed...
Plus, none of us can leave the competition site, so there’s no way to return to the city for Maria’s continued tutoring! Furthermore, this is the contest site’s preparation area, where you can only watch the scenery outside, not allowed to go out, otherwise, at least we could have given the two Grandmasters some mining time...
Just then, the space in the preparation area fluctuated, and a dozen tents and supply boxes were transmitted in.
The Black Dragon God’s deep voice sounded: "Warriors, you’ve worked hard. Your resilience made the opposing team feel our strength. They aren’t confident, can’t afford to play, and want to amend the rules! On the grand battlefield, they are at an advantage, it seems we also have no grounds to refuse. But it’s alright, the rules stipulated by both sides are to each send one Sage to participate! Our Sage will arrive within a day, so in the meantime, everyone take a good rest!"
After speaking, the voice disappeared.
Holy Shit!!! It’s definitely Uriel, the mole!
Everyone exchanged glances.
Chun asked: "What does everyone think?"
Pava Landing sighed: "I’m feeling awkward."
Aimee sneered: "Why not, we’ll fire him as soon as he arrives, even if we die, he shouldn’t get our shares."
Wine Angel said in a deep voice: "Actually, even if we all suspect his motives, there’s just no evidence!"
Holy Shit! To hell with evidence, I’ll just fire him!
But if I really directly fired him, that would flip the table, he would lose it and directly start using the Black Hand, everyone would die undeservedly without a single chance...
