The top 16 battle gradually reached its climax. The Gemini Gravity battle team was the third to advance. The process was very tragic. They fought all the way to the final team battle, and only won by a slight margin after fighting for a full hour.
In comparison, the Imperial Glory battle team led by Di Maria was a little lucky. Their opponent was the Tiantong Star battle team, which had climbed up by luck. They were the fourth to advance with an easy 3: 0 score.
The Astina Justice battle team versus the Maya Empire's Child of Light battle team was a highlight. Astina was also a traditionally strong country, and the Maya's Child of Light battle team was an obstacle that all the teams had to pay attention to.
Even in the qualifiers, basically no one was willing to touch the Atlanteans and Mayans. It was not because they were friendly, but because these guys did not take the usual route. There would often be situations where they would hurt the enemy but hurt themselves.
The Maya Empire was a true strong country. There was no doubt about that.
Of course, the opponent this time was also worth watching. Although Astina was at a disadvantage, it was not impossible for them to win.
Captain Ogan, 25 years old, Earth-rank warrior. His Ability X was rated as a high grade trait type. He was also a strong character. Although he was not in the top 10 captains, he was not someone that could be ignored.
In the first round, the Astina Justice battle team had sent out their most stable tank, mainly to test the waters.
However, when the Mayans sent out their warriors, Astina was enraged. The audience could not hold on any longer. What was going on?!
Substitute!
Against the Astina Justice battle team, Matt Locatelli had still sent out a substitute!
Was Matt Locatelli crazy? Or was he arrogant?
Ogan's hair was standing on end!
Child of Light battle team? Did they really think they were the sun just because they could glow?
"Sidney, teach the Mayans the manners of a warrior." Ogan looked at the Mayans opposite him. His face was as cold as a stone. Obviously, they did not care about Astina at all.
The Mayans were strong, he admitted. However, one-on-one, the Mayans did not have an advantage. The Mayans, who used energy as their core, were really strong in team battles.
"Roar!"
Sidney pounded his chest, his eyes filled with a fierce desire to fight. They were actually using a substitute to fight him? Child of Light? He might not necessarily be the Son of the Sun. He might even be a candle flame that would darken with a single blow.
In the audience seats, Wang Zheng looked at the Mayan battle team. He felt a little awkward. This Child of Light battle team was still different from the two Mayans beside Lear. The contestant seats at the front were much emptier. In fact, it was rare for a loser to stay. After all, in the main competition, they were all proud people. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were conceited. Failure was equivalent to leaving. This was the natural law of humans.
The Van brothers of Arbiter were the last to suffer. They had been in the limelight for many years, but they had suffered an unprecedented blow at SIG. This was the reality. There was no reason. The pressure from the family, the pressure from the Arbiter nation, and other aspects had always made their lives difficult. In fact, this was life. Wang Zheng could only wish them good luck. He himself was not any better. Kashawen did not move at all. But the more it was like this, the more he could not let his guard down. The only consolation was that Aina now had more "combat power" than before. The two of them were fighting together.
The Dynasty battle team was very popular, but Luo Fei was not there. Ever since that battle, Fatty Luo had not appeared again. It was widely rumored that he could no longer walk due to the backlash of his ability, but there was no concrete evidence. Luo Fei's ability was not at the Heaven-rank. Based on the current definition of Ability X, his "eating" method would definitely have repercussions. It was just that the extent of the repercussions was unknown. Of course, as an opponent, they all hoped that Luo Fei could not stand up. It was indeed too scary. Even if there were repercussions, it would be useless if he died.
In fact, many people were quite thankful. Asura had been eliminated, and Luo Fei was seriously injured. Asura was actually just so-so. Those who came later were all very lucky.
The first battle!
Cena came up with a heavy mech charge!
The first rule of battling with the Mayans was never to compete with the Mayans in long-range firepower.
The Astina battle team was all roaring, cheering for Cena. This was their style. A one-man battle team. The whole team was praying. Every person who went up on stage carried the courage of the entire battle team.
Substitute?
Go to hell!
Battle was sacred. It could not be tarnished by sand.
Cena was clear that the key to winning was to get close. As long as they entered close combat, the Mayans would be noobs, and he would be the knife!
However, halfway through his charge, Cena felt that something was wrong.
The Mayan's Heavenly Crystal King was standing there, motionless. It had no intention of stopping him from approaching.
What was this?
Many people in the audience seats were also in a daze. Did the Mayans mean to compete in close combat?
Dina Atlas smiled faintly. The Mayans were finally taking that step.
Close!
The two mecha collided head-on!
Cena exploded. The explosive power of the heavy mech in close combat was like a ferocious tiger coming down the mountain. The graceful curves of the Heavenly Crystal King, in front of him, was like a half-naked woman.
What he had to defend against was the Mayans' Energy Cutting Net. For Cena, this was not a problem. That kind of gorgeous attack might be a threat in IG, but for SIG, it was just for show.
At this moment, the Heavenly Crystal King moved.
Energy Cutting Net?
Cena was ready. A counter-attack, and he could teach the Mayans the dignity of a warrior, of a human.
But it was not an Energy Cutting Net.
Instead, he pulled out an Energy Light Sword.
Light flashed.
The Heavenly Crystal King suddenly disappeared from Cena's eyes. It disappeared from everyone's sight. No!
It did not disappear, but turned into a stream of light!
Twisted and wriggling.
The light instantly penetrated Cena's heavy mech.
Then, the Heavenly Crystal King reappeared behind Cena.
The Energy Light Sword spun.
Decapitation!
The audience was silent.
What kind of attack was this???
The Atlanteans were known for their spiritual power and runes, while the Mayans were known for their use of energy and light. Compared to the high acceptance of rune power, the Mayan technology seemed to be treasuring its own!
The members of the various teams were watching. Clearly, the technicians were having a headache. They had to get to the crux of the problem and crack it, or they would be suppressed.
The second match …
Astina's morale did not weaken because of the first defeat.
"The Mayans hid it very well. However, things that have already been exposed will not have the same effect on us Astinians twice. This kind of power is merely using space and illusions. During training, we have also simulated ways to deal with it. Menke, your ability is best at dealing with this kind of thing. Destroy them."
Ogan was a typical Astina leader. No matter what the situation was, he could not lose in terms of morale. He had to boost his fighting spirit, even though he did not feel that what he said was convincing.
However …
It was useless.
Menke had worked very hard. In the team, his strength was second only to Ogan. He had already touched the threshold of Earth-rank, and was only one transformation away.
Facing the Heavenly Crystal King, his response was also not bad. But in the end, he only lasted two more rounds than Cena. Facing the opponent who suddenly moved like a ray of light, he could not defend. Defeat was inevitable.
Zero to two. The Astina Justice team stood at the edge of the cliff. Ogan had personally stepped forward.
This was an Earth-rank fighter!
Would the Mayans still send out a substitute?
Two to zero. As long as they won one more match, they would be able to advance directly. They did not need to enter the most unpredictable team battle.
The most reliable one would be Matt Locatelli personally taking the field.
However, Matt pointed behind him.
It was still a substitute!
Ogan was burning with anger. He was an Astina, a passionate emissary, an Earth-rank fighter. Substitute?
Fight, fight, fight!
Ogan was burning.
But the audience was very quiet.
The Earth-rank fighter had only lasted for five more minutes. Ogan's Ability X was a special type – Puppet Force Field. It could cause mental suppression on the opponent, even to the point of control.
However, it had no effect on the Mayans. Five minutes. Ogan, who had entered berserk mode, was suppressed throughout!
Even at the last second of the five minutes, Ogan did not escape the fate of being beheaded.
The timing was so precise that it made people wonder if it was deliberate.
Silence, followed by countless discussions. The Mayans' armour technology had been researched by various countries, but it was not as strong as this wave of people!
Matt Locatelli did not accept the post-match interview. Whether it was contempt or pride, it did not matter. The Mayans had begun to show off their power everywhere. Compared to the Atlanteans who had been in the limelight for so many years, the Mayans' core technology was still a mystery to the humans.
As the loser, Astina seemed a little miserable. Sometimes, advancing to the next round might not be a good thing. This was tragic. Their intelligence personnel had to bear the main responsibility. They had completely failed to understand the real Mayan battle tactics and techniques.
Before the humans found a way, it was the same regardless of whether it was the main or the substitute.
