Chapter 408 - Victorious War Goddess
In this battle, neither was prepared to give an inch. It would be a clash of their wills, to see who could endure until the end.
The Gemini team’s leader Ao Ziwei... a girl, that was without question. She was also the tallest in the team at 160 cm, according to official data. Although the girls of Gemini were of a short stature, they were shapely and elegant, unlike the barbaric men. On Gemini, gender was irrelevant in both life and battle – strength was the language spoken. The Gemini people were not cunning people, but direct and straightforward.
Sirius Star Captain, “Dragon Wolf” Wolfau. In his veins ran the blood of the Sirius Star family, and he was the first heir of the Sirius Star family. Indigenous wolf people were not ugly, unlike the strange Caucans. They were exotic, handsome, fierce. Under numerous unions, they now possessed both the intellect of mankind and their own brute strength, to create the powerful Sirius Star people of today. Wolfau was the perfect example.
In this IG, their target was top 4.
In the first round, they had set a new record in the first fight, both sides’ point fighters dueling for over an hour. The endurance of Gemini and the persistence of the Sirius Star people were famous in the Milky Way. Sparks always flew when the two teams met, and they fought to the death.
In a close fight at such a high level, they had fought for a full 1 hour 16 minutes before it was concluded. Any other planet’s fighter would have long been exhausted. Till the end, both had maintained a relatively high standard. In the end, the Gemini fighter had taken the first battle. The Gemini people were like rocks, solid. No matter what kind of taunts or insults flew their way, they were comfortable in their own rhythm. A solid defense and subduing attacks that were not unexpected. On the other hand, the Sirius Star people were all kinds of savage, fighting with every trick in their book. But the Gemini team would give them no such opportunity to play their dirty tricks.
The first fight determined the pace of the entire battle. The Gemini team was leading 3-0, and every fight was over an hour long. The general feeling was that the Sirius Star team had not been beaten; they had been slowly squeezed to death.
No matter what uncanny moves they threw, they were helpless in the face of the unshakable Gemini people. Once they fell into the stable rhythm controlled by the Gemini people, they would definitely lose.
In the Gemini people’s words, battling was an exchange, a game that the Gemini people would always win.
The Gemini people loved to use battles to add cheer to their festivals, of which they had many. Virtually every week was filled with celebration, and every month they had a large scale one. It was why Gemini was called the Happy Planet.
The most important fight was still between Ao Ziwei and Wolfau.
The pearl of Gemini, Ao Ziwei, and the Greedy Wolf Wolfau would meet in what was possibly the final battle.
Ao Ziwei was not ugly, although she was no extraordinary beauty. But on Gemini, she was a goddess, and many in the younger generation secretly held love for her in their hearts.
The moniker of Greedy Wolf was not derogatory, but rather an honorific. The wolf was greedy by nature, and a name like Sirius was not something that Wolfau was ready to take up yet. On Sirius Star, any name that related to the wolf was serious business.
Gemini had already forced the Sirius Star to the brink of defeat. Ao Ziwei could actually drop this match and then secure an easy win. But she chose not to.
Ao Ziwei chose to fight head on. In truth, those that wanted to rule should not shirk battles, but such a view was double-edged. In the end, the winner’s view was always right.
Ao Ziwei – Victory Goddess. A high class mech from Gemini. Balanced and sturdy, equipped with beam saber and laser guns. To date it was the Gemini Special Ops’ mech.
Wolfau – Sirius V. This was the most famous beast-type mech on the Sirius Star. As the descendant of the Wolf God, Wolfau naturally brought out the best of the mech. To him, there was no backing down now. This was already not a matter of losing, but concerned the dignity of Sirius Star. This round must break the rut that they were in. He was grateful to Ao Ziwei for granting him this chance.
The strong teams were finally beginning to sit up and pay attention. Although the previous battles were not bad, they were not enough to entertain those like Oz and Olivios, who already knew the skill levels at a glance. But this battle perked the audience up. Both Ao Ziwei and Wolfau were experts of the younger generation.
Both mecha appeared on the practice field. Suffering consecutive losses had brought Wolfau to the edge of losing control, and he was at his most dangerous.
As the starting gun rang out, the Sirius V shot out like an arrow from a bow. Regarding the Sirius mech, it was commonly seen in various countries, but few could compare to the Sirius Star’s proficiency. They understood it in their bones. With a wolf howl, the entire mech turned into a curious red color, as if it were on fire.
“Is this the Sirius bloodline and the Sirius mech’s synergy?”
“Should be. My first time seeing it too, it doesn’t look like much though.”
The Sirius mech’s G material was about three times the average mech’s. Only those of the Sirius bloodline could unlock the true power of this mech.
Ao Ziwei’s laser shot out, firing shot after shot towards the Sirius V. The opponent’s attack was too direct, after all. But what happened next left everybody shocked.
Wolfau did not activate his shields, but the lasers evaporated like steam...
Energy attack ineffective? Or was it long-range attacks that were ineffective?
The red light that had accompanied Wolfau’s howl had actually blocked the laser.
In an instant, the Sirius V appeared in front of Ao Ziwei, a frenzied wolf paw clawing out. Whoosh...
Ao Ziwei’s Victory Goddess leaped back like lightning. Three deep gouges appeared on the ground.
He had clearly been over a meter away...
Every time Wolfau howled, the red light on the mech’s body would glow anew. At this time Wolfau was like Sirius incarnate, an invincible god.
Wolfau had been thoroughly agitated. Their Sirius clan was invincible, their road to victory unstoppable. Once he ripped Ao Ziwei to shreds, his pack juniors could definitely secure the win.
BOOM...
Ao Ziwei’s beam saber had finally sliced out, colliding with Wolfau for the first time. In an instant, Wolfau unleashed a blistering attack. Speed, strength, and agility were the strong points of Sirius people, and an amazing constitution. Their bloodline’s Ability X was unique, enabling them to fend off energy wounds for short periods of time, and at the same time increase their own strength, speed, and agility to overcome any opponent!
The most fundamental condition was to be savage, and in an instant he had elevated by three levels.
Ao Ziwei was indeed the model example of a Gemini. Stable fighting was their strong point, but now even she could not follow the pace!
BOOM...
Ao Ziwei was thrown back a few meters, but the valiant female fighter did not counter with strength, but absorbed the blow. With another howl, Wolfau’s Sirius V leaped forward without pause. Ao Ziwei did not retreat, her beam saber flashing out.
BOOM...
The Sirius V’s claw had already snagged the beam saber. Not only had he blocked it, but Wolfau was planning to finish his opponent in one move. He had completely seen through his opponent’s attack. His opponent could not keep up with his speed, but the Sirius V mech was inexplicably thrown backwards.
BOOM BOOM BOOM...
Every time Ao Ziwei’s Victory Goddess slashed the beam saber at the Sirius V, the Sirius V blocked it, and yet failed to block it... the mech was beaten backwards methodically, and this made the pilot, Wolfau, unbelievably frustrated. Why could he not block it???
What Ability X was this???
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM...
Ao Ziwei’s every attack was measured, controlled, and getting faster and more violent. Most crucially, each blow could be blocked, but the mech still suffered a huge hit.
BOOM...
The Sirius V was sent flying. Midair, Wolfau howled. He was covered in blood, and had been driven into a frenzy. Vampiric Wolf Spirit!
KABOOM....
The Sirius V exploded in midair...
Everyone’s jaw dropped. Even the strongest fighters took notice. This Ability X had never been seen before, but it made a simple beam saber turn into an unbeatable heavenly sword.
Only now did they realize that the Victory Goddess’ beam saber had become twice as long, and was blindingly bright. All the Gemini team members had raised their arms, cheering on their noble Victory Goddess.
Although they were not physically big, their lung power was superb.
“Energy dissipation?”
“Doesn’t seem like it. It’s amplified, but not exactly that either. The Sirius mech looks like it’s been shaken thoroughly. Blocked, but not blocked, and unavoidable. This attack looks like a BUG 1 .”
“No wonder a woman could become the Gemini IG captain. The Sirius team can lose with no regrets.”
“I think this tyrant woman has yet to unleash fully. The stability of the Gemini, complemented with such an ability, damn.”
“Haha, it’s possible that some are actually willing to accept a hard bone like this.”
The Gemini team swept the Sirius Star team in a 4-0. It was deemed an upset that was neither unbelievable nor expected. Everybody had judged this to be the closest fight.
Ao Ziwei walked out to a reception of her teammates’ cheers. Clearly she had fought this battle well prepared, perhaps using just half her strength.
The first day of top 8 battles was now over. But Ai Ziwei made a bizarre move. She pointed at somebody specific within the Solar System Federation, and made a gesture unique to the Gemini team.
Waiting for you on the battlefield!
