Chapter 132: Chapter 132
The young couple offstage are in love, the widowed frogs onstage frog number crazily shouting Widows and Lonely and Charles They are randomly given a map of a volcano which is an active volcano except for the crater which is covered with vegetation, some birds suddenly chirp sharply, and the beasts fly out from their nests in a panic.
"Oops! The killing moves of the two players were too powerful! They've triggered the random effect of the volcanic eruption on this map!" The host said anxiously, "The Dream God Shupnos can escape the volcanic eruption with its long flight, how can the Widow and Lone Frogfrog save itself?!"
A large amount of ash poured out of the crater, forming a tall cone of volcanic debris, and the sky quickly turned black, filling the entire stadium with ash, as if there were black clouds perched on the inside of the stadium, and as if ink had been poured into fresh water.
Tang Bai's heart raced as he watched the bricks of the gymnasium's walls rapidly peeling away, falling to the ground with a splash!
Xie Ruhang holds Tang Bai's hand, and he transfers the warmth of his palm to Tang Bai.
Countless birds and beasts ran away, the mournful cries were continuous, and the entire world seemed to start trembling at this moment.
"Ah! The Lone Widow Troglodyte has wrapped the Dream God Shupnos with Teng Man!"
A bolt of lightning struck through the blackened ash and a sudden shower of sparks, sparks and flames danced around in the darkness, a phenomenon of pyroclastic flows and luminous clouds, illuminating the Widow and Froggy Frog and the Dream Goddess Thupnos, which were entangled in the Teng Man.
[Ha ha ha ha ha Froggy says he doesn't want to die alone.]
[Congratulations to Froggy, who also has a life-and-death duo story]
Gu Tunan has locked up the other side of Teng Man and the crater.
The black volcanic ash rolled in like a torrent, like a flood, overflowing everywhere, layer after layer, wave after wave, as if splashing ink on all beings, engulfing the Widow and Frog Frog and the Dream God Shupnos with an unrivaled momentum.
"Both of our players were within range of the erupting volcano and the match is over! Both contestants are tied!" After the host announced the result of this match, the special effects of the erupting volcano dissipated, the stadium was still bright and orderly, and the two mechs that were tied up tightly by the mechanical Teng Man were like big dumplings.
The mechanical Teng Man breaks apart and Charles and Gu Tunan emerge from their respective mechs, Charles currently has one challenge left and everyone is waiting for him to challenge Xie Ruhang.
But to everyone's surprise, Charles chose to give up his last chance at the challenge.
He looked at the public screen covered in taunts against the Imperial team, and the terribly strong alpha, and walked off the stage in silence.
Because he didn't want to lose all the way, he preferred to give up the challenge.
As long as he didn't really compete with Xie Ruhang, people on the sidelines wouldn't realize how big the gap between him and Xie Ruhang was.
Returning to the backstage lounge, Charles finds a depressed atmosphere, with Coach sighing, Div depressed, and only Andre still looking like he's having a good time.
But when you think about it, it's only natural that Chris, who is loyal to the First Prince, was caught for smuggling energy crystals, Pamela, who is close to the Second Prince, was taken away for cheating, Div, who is loyal to the Third Prince, had a poor record, and he, being the Fifth Prince's man, was only able to draw with Gu Tunan, handing the title to Xie Ruhang.
Originally, he would have won the championship and brought back glory for the Fifth Prince, and now all of them hadn't managed to curry any favors.
As for Andre, this Fourth Royal Highness had originally failed to pull in any outstanding mecha masters, and had no hopes of winning the championship at all, but now he was instead on the same level as everyone else, and it was only normal to be happy.
"Charles, Div, aren't you two going to challenge Xie Ruhang?" Coach persuaded, "If no one challenges Xie Ruhang, the outside world will say that we are timid, maybe you guys can also come across maps like the volcano map that can die with your opponents ......" Halfway through his sentence, he couldn't even speak to himself.
What's the point of actually having Charles and Div try? Add another loss to the Empire's record?
Forget it, the Imperials have lost face this time.
The coach opened the Empire's social media platforms, and the headlines on the reports of this Mecha Cup were all about the unprecedented disgraceful competition, disgraceful out of the country, and the Empire team's 0 wins against the Federation team ......
A certain Imperial netizen who wishes to remain anonymous: "My ID name is my current status on international forums, and I'm embarrassed to say I'm Imperial!"
The coach let out another long sigh, he felt like he was about to sigh his life away, "Well then, Div declare a forfeit as well, Xie Ruhang is indeed hard to beat, and not challenging him is also to save our last decent-"
"Coach." Andre interrupted, "I would like to challenge Xie Ruhang."
The coach froze, he even suspected that he was hallucinating, he clearly gave this prince the first rule of the "lose decently" is not to challenge too strong opponent.
Charles frowned, "Xie Ruhang is strong."
Div bared a laugh, "Your Highness, do you not have a clear self-awareness of your strength?"
"I know, " Andre said seriously, "but to retreat without a fight is the true act of a coward."
*
Before Andre puts on his combat uniform, he uses a band-aid to cover the pinholes in his arm left by the injection of camouflage agents.
He put on a golden mech helmet in the style of a radiant golden crown, the legendary crown of the Sun God.
The shape of his mech was modeled after the mythical chariot of the sun, pulled by four horses that radiated golden light and were made of gold, glowing with light and heat.
He and his mecha Helios arrived at the arena, the Federation audience did not welcome his arrival but Andre did look up into the audience and he looked over at Tang Bai.
The omega he'd been dying to get close to from the first time he'd gotten to know.
Glowing, glowing, a sun far away in another land.
"Contestant Andre, may I ask why you decided to challenge Contestant Xie Ruhang?" The host is doing a pre-match interview.
Andre looked back to Xie Ruhang standing in front of him as the Boing Boing Strikes the Long Sky was unable to transform into its first form after using the Moe Blast kill move, and had to remain in its second form.
"I want to see how close I am to the Xie Ruhang contestants." Andre smiles slightly and asks, "Don't you need a new mech?"
"No need." Xie Ruhang faded.
Indeed it didn't need to be, as Xie Ruhang and Andre had a total crushing match in this mecha showdown.
Xie Ruhang, with his wings, is an angel of battle, holding a lightsaber and spreading his wings like a predatory Hedonist, and with a chirp he rushes into the sky, his dark eyes showing no mercy as he charges towards Helios, the god of the sun!
As he swooped down at breakneck speed, he pulled up his lightsaber slightly, and a snow-white sword-light cut through the defenses of the two golden horses, slashing the reins in a flash-
With just one sword, he broke half of Andre's defenses.
Snow-white wings folded, Xie Ruhang fell through the gap between the two golden horses, escaping the first wave of the Sun God Helios' attack.
Hair flying upwards, phoenix eyes flat and unruffled, he was in a falling position, face to the sky, sword blade pointing at the reins of the other two golden horses.
With a gasp of surprise, Xie Ruhang reopened his wings and rolled onto his back, his long hands gripping his lightsaber, and in the next moment, the sky changed!
The dazzling light struck right at the bottom of the Sun God Helios, and the two lightsabers were like the sharp claws of a predator, ferociously tearing through the first layer of the Sun God Helios' defense shield, and then a killing move-
Unmercifully breaking through the second, third, and up to the last layer of the Sun God Helios' defense system!!!!
"Xie Ruhang severed the Sun God Helios' connection to all four golden horses! Oh, my God! The Xie Ruhang contestant managed to break through all of the Sun God Helios' defenses in less than five seconds!!!"
The hosts had never seen such a brief battle before, and the crowd was thrilled by the scene to the point of shouting with excitement, screaming, cheering, and applauding as they chanted Xie Ruhang's name with a fervor that seemed to bring the roof of the stadium down.
As the contestants stepped out of their mechs and onto the stage, the pop-ups on the public screen were already brushing: "Celebrate God Xie's win!" "God Xie is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo handsome!!!" "The Boing Boing is the fiercest!!!"
The crowd's reaction was so intense that even the host's face sprouted a fan-girl blush, and fearing she'd become a nymphomaniac on the spot for Xie Ruhang, she first interviewed Andre to calm him down a bit, "Contestant Andre, may I ask if there's anything you'd like to say after this match?"
Andre was in a bit of a trance, he hadn't reacted from the shock of his extreme defeat, and after a while he calmed his breathing and said sincerely to Xie Ruhang, "You are strong, you deserve the highest honor and the best feelings."
His downbeat behavior and blessing of Xie and Tang's romance in turn made the pop-ups feel better about Andre.
[As long as you kowtow to God Xie and Sugar, we're friends!]
[Andre was a novice all the way through the Mecha Cup. He was a novice, but he was a real novice, and he didn't try to fake it.]
[Yes, Andre is so good that I never suspected him of cheating. Let's hope the prince has a good sense of humor in the empire.]
Xie Ruhang saw a hint of envy in Andre's eyes, an envy that held no malice, just pure longing.
"Contestant Xie Ruhang, your points are now the highest in the room." The host looked at the latest standings displayed on the public screen, only to see that next to Xie Ruhang's name, in addition to his score, there was also a small golden crown.
"Congratulations, you are the winner of this year's Mecha Cup Competition!!!"
The audience became a boiling sea of joy at this moment, everyone waved their cheering sticks, the national anthem of the Federation resounded throughout the stadium, and the moment the music started, the crowd stood up, and they sang the national anthem with passion.
The music was so loud that the host needed to wait for the crescendo of the national anthem to end before he could raise the volume and ask aloud, "Contestant Xie Ruhang, do you have anything you would like to say at this moment?"
Gorgeous firework effects and real ribbons appeared in rhythm with the music. Tang Bai reached out his hand to receive the bright ribbons, but when his eyes stretched from his fingertips to Xie Ruhang's handsome face on the big screen, his fingers trembled slightly and he missed the colorful ribbons.
He saw Xie Ruhang take the moderator's microphone with one hand and reach into his pocket with the other, pulling out a tiny box.
Then, Xie Ruhang said, "I have a word that I want to say to my beloved."
