Chapter 1239: The Snake Bites the Sea Queen
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Countless people were seated in front of all kinds of media early. SIG had also begun to broadcast highlights from earlier matches. At the same time, they had also started introducing all the outstanding warriors from the various battle teams. Although they had lost, they deserved to have such an opportunity
Jondi Lilick and Si Jiali had arrived at the venue an hour before the start of the match. It was obvious that the two had dressed up for the occasion. Jondi Lilick was wearing a suit and looked especially bright and handsome. Si Jiali, on the other hand, wore a pearl-coloured dress, exuding a beautiful calf. She had her hair specially done too and looked extraordinarily beautiful.
“I think everyone can’t wait any longer. The second match of the semi-finals will begin an hour from now. This is also the highly anticipated battle between the Saruman Snake battle team and the Sea Queen battle team. Let’s see who has more supporters. Supporters of Sea Queen, let me hear your shouts!” said a smiling Si Jiali.
The entire arena applauded loudly instantly. Atlantis had always been the mysterious civilisation that mankind had long admired since ancient times. Since the discovery of Atlantis and the years working with them, the Atlanteans had created good impressions for mankind. Strong, mysterious, and modest and keeping a distance at the same time. Naturally, there were many fans and supporters for Atlantis. This year, Sea Queen was being led by members of the royal family. They had been invincible since the start of the competition. This had been an eye-opener for many fans of Atlantis.
“It seems like Atlantis has many supporters. Let’s hear the cheers from the supporters of Saruman Snake,” said Si Jiali in a loud voice.
After a short silence, the Knights of Light arena was filled with majestic cheers. The vigorous cheers lasted for a long time before they died down. Si Jiali was rather stunned too. The Atlanteans has always had many admirers. Everywhere they went, it felt like home ground for them. Today, however, the supporters of Saruman Snake totally surpassed those of Sea Queen.
Jondi Lilick was not surprised at all. This was because Saruman Snake was fully prepared. Under the leadership of Wang Zheng, Saruman Snake had reached where they were today one step at a time. They had created many miracles, and each miracle had inspired many people. It was only natural that they had won the support of people. Amongst which were his “contributions.”
“It seems that Saruman Snake has slightly more supporters. Even then, according to data collected from the various countries and some public opinions, everyone is of the opinion that Sea Queen has the advantage. Captain Lilick, could you analyse for us?” asked Si Jiali sweetly. Her pretty face shone brightly. She looked extraordinarily beautiful today.
Although she was the president of the student council of the Royal Academy, there were many presidents of the students council. As she was the president of the science department, her influence was not outstanding. However, through this SIG, she had gained some unexpected rewards. Her organization and performances had gained great recognition. She would definitely reach greater heights in the future.
Jondi Lilick smiled. “Saruman Snake will win... that’s impossible.”
Jondi Lilick’s big gasp almost gave a lot of audience side stitches. “I’m a Saruman Snake supporter, and this has not changed. But as an SIG contestant, the difference in strength between the two teams is really huge. From the intelligence gathered so far, the average spiritual power of Atlantis’ Sea Queen members is mid B and above. This means that they are all Earth-rank warriors. The Atlanteans are skilled in spiritual power and can even reached B and above. They have not displayed much of their spiritual powers previously, but now, through the runic mecha and Runic Matrix, this will chance. Honestly, I personally feel that the Sea Queen battle team is actually the strongest team in the SIG.”
No one doubted this. In the previous match, Atlantis’ rune tactics had attained the acme of perfection. A simple display and the opponents were annihilated.
The opponents were not rookies either.
“I believe that Saruman Snake will not give up. There’s a tenacity to Wang Zheng’s team, the tenacity to persist. We can look forward to them giving us an exciting battle. However, Saruman Snake is missing two of their major forces right now. Out of the three remaining major forces, two of them are not Earth-rank level. The gap is a little too great. But statistics are not absolute. Just like the earlier battles. Maybe a miracle will happen again,” said Jondi Lilick.
Si Jiali gave a little smile. “So, what you’re saying is that Saruman Snake could take a victory but can’t win the match?”
“Yes. Although many people have predicted that it will be a sweeping victory, I believe that they can win one battle. I believe in Wang Zheng,” Jondi Lilick said with a smile. “Maybe even a little superstitious, haha.”
Laughter could be heard around the arena. Some words, when spoken by someone else, would bring discontentment. However, this was Jondi Lilick, the super genius of Manalasuo.
“There are some very special guests for today’s match. In the west stand, we have a group of very special invited guests. They are the giants from Titatitan. Let us welcome them to the family of the Milky Way Alliance with a round of applause!”
Said Si Jiali. The cameras were now penned to the west stand. Seated there was a group of special spectators. They were the giants from Titatitian Star. The Titans had to learn to step out from their planet. The head of the group was an eye-catching giant, and he was the leader of Dida –”Titian” Rara Durai!
Mu Sen was here too. However, Mu Sen was at the VIP seats, seated with a group of politicians of the Milky Way Alliance. Mu Sen would not isolate mankind. On the contrary, he wanted to actively integrate and make contact. Of course, this was not the kind of environment that Rara Durai would enter. The differences between giants and sages were very obvious.
The Titans were here to show their support for Wang Zheng!
It was spectacular to see dozens of giants together. However, it was just a tip of the iceberg in such a gigantic arena.
Although they had been through very unpleasant impressions, Mu Sen knew that the Titans could not retreat because of war. Instead, they should step out even more. Only then could they become stronger and receive protection at the same time.
A Titan would be featured in this match. A Tita giant was finally standing on such a big stage.
What Mu Zhen did not know was that his presence in Tita Star had become second only to Rara Durai’s. The Titans idolised the brave. Battling was even more prevalent. This tradition had never changed. This SIG was a big stage of the Milky Way Alliance, and it was undoubtedly a place that any brave person yearned for.
The exciting highlights of the SIG competition had just about finished. The big screens were now showing the progression journeys of today’s two main leads – Saruman Snake and Sea Queen.
Sea Queen was featured first. The members of the Sea Queen battle team were mysterious. They were not from the human system, so whatever information they had collected were from this SIG. Of course, it included some interviews.
Their progression journey was very easy and relaxed. Even the reserves could easily achieve a victory. While the strengths of Sea Queen were one factor, many teams lost their resistance to fight as soon as they faced Sea Queen. This had allowed such strengths to grow even more suppressing.
It was not until the quarter-finals that Sea Queen began to display some of their true strengths. However, for the most part, it was not pressure from their opponents, but rather they wanted to demonstrate some powers that were different from others.
No fault could be found with the humility and low profile of the Atlanteans. When the screens showed the god-like rune tactics, everyone inside and outside the arena gasped in amazement. It was uniformly strong. This was similar to Aslan’s Sword Shield Rose, sending despair to everyone.
Life had always had a particular kind of coincidence. Sword Shield Rose and Sea Queen were representations of perfection. Dynasty and Saruman Snake were representations of reverse hope. However, Dynasty’s true form was revealed when faced with Sword Shield Rose. It was now Saruman Snake’s turn. Their circumstances did not seem any better than those of the Dynasty battle team. Sea Queen may not be the strongest, but it definitely was the hardest to deal with. This was because although Sword Shield Rose was very strong, they were still humans. Therefore, their battling methods were the same. But the rune tactics of Sea Queen had only just appeared for the first time. Some stronger teams had hardly begun to make heads or tails about it, and they were already soundly defeated.
Would Saruman Snake have any means to fight this?
If anyone was to have any idea, it might have to be Sword Shield Rose. On the one hand, Aslan and Atlantis had close a relationship. It would be rather impossible to say that they had absolutely no understanding of the runes. On the other hand, Aslan had a very strong military team, so maybe they had some ways to target it.
But Saruman Snake had nothing. Elite Academy X would not be concerned about this. As for the mother planet... Wang Zheng’s birth planet was Earth.
“Next is the introduction of the Saruman Snake battle team. This is an amazing team. They started the competition as the title holder the Greatest King competition. But I believe that many people think that they should have been beaten soundly and left the competition crestfallen. But they have not. Saruman Snake has advanced to the semi-finals.” Si Jiali was feeling rather excited. “Let us now look back at the progression journey of Saruman Snake.”
Snow Li was the very first to appear on the big screens. A genius young lady born in the year of the Ice Dragon Flying Dance. She successfully upgraded to Earth-rank level during a major battle. Her lossless sniper Ability X made her a power to be reckoned with in team battles.
Lie Xin was next. Hailing from Mars, Lie Xin was from a family of physical combat. Although a girl, her battling tactics were very tough and vigorous. Her temper was rumoured to be very fiery too. Of course, the two main female powers of Saruman Snake had also gained much glory for the female sex. At the same time, their good looks were off the charts. Skilled as scout and warrior, their battling abilities were very good as well.
Achilles, the handsome rich boy from the Moon. Achilles could not be considered an unknown. Since his younger days in Academy X, the Milky Way Alliance already had a dossier on him. Rather outstanding. Starting from IG, to Elite Academy X, and now at SIG. In the previous match against Arbiter’s Soulless battle team, Achilles had displayed his intelligence to a state of flawlessness as his nickname “Wisdom General” had suggested. He was indeed the brain of Saruman Snake.
Obviously, Achilles received some cheers. Actually, these images only made the differences in strength between Saruman Snake and Sea Queen more apparent. How was that so? There were two points, but they were not enough to conquer the hearts of the fastidious audiences. This was because there were more people that were stronger than them.
Next was Mu Zhen. This was the first time that a Titan had appeared in an international competition. This big man had a rather impressive performance. Although it had not been particularly amazing, it had allowed mankind to know the bravery of the Tita giants. At the same time, he was very intelligent too.
When Zhang Shan appeared, the arena finally roared with loud cheers.
“Zhang Shan is the warrior that I’ve seen with the most spirit. He can always turn the impossible to possible. But not many people know this: Zhang Shan changed his focus midway through his life. Up until university, he had always been in physics. But now, he is already standing on the biggest battling stage in the Milky Way Alliance!” said Si Jiali. “Not only that, he also possesses excellent qualities. He deserves our cheers!”
