420 A Counterattack?

Chapter 420: A Counterattack?

Translator: AbyssrulerEditor: Lucas

Olivios had exposed his fangs. Arbiter had already displayed their dominance and was the first to advance into the top 4. If it was any other team, they would be getting carried away by their happiness, but to Arbiter, this was things going as expected.

The second battle for advancement into the semifinals. Aslan Empire team vs Maya Empire team.

Anyone else might have felt restraining fear to be matched against the Aslan Empire, but not the Mayans. As a representative of one of the top forces of the Milky Way Alliance, the Mayans did not fear any country. Just like Atlantis, the Mayans had an attitude and a confidence of their own.

As for their heritage and cultural background, it was also something that the Ghanaians could not compare to. The Ghanaians was just a backwater race that was conquered by mankind. After mixing with mankind for so many years, they started to become megalomaniacs who thought of themselves as capable. However, the Mayans were different. Historically speaking, they were the second civilisation in the world to experience a renaissance, after Atlantis. The mechanical advancements and accumulations of mankind could only be ranked after them.

Aslan was possibly the representative of the highest level mankind had attained today. If Aslan's power was considered to be the third age of man, then the Mayans would definitely be considered to be the ones who ruled the prior era. This battle would be worth seeing.

Of course, winning was definitely not enough. Olivios was so arrogant, Aurora and Oz had been unable to sit still since much earlier. Moreover, the Royal Princess Highness was here personally to observe the battle, so a magnificent victory had to be attained.

The Mayans entered under the lead of Verus. The glorious, shining Mayan race. However, this group of crystalline people looked too weak. Why? Aslan possessed a deep understanding of their crystalline civilization. Their mecha were very brittle as befit a crystal. Furthermore, they also knew of their capabilities. The Aslanians were well prepared.

Regardless of whether it was Oz or Aurora, as the outstanding representatives of mankind, they would definitely be bringing glory to mankind.

Verus walked to the front of the stage, waiting for the opponents to show up. This day had finally come.

The Maya Empire had waited for this day for a very very long time.

Aurora walked to the front. Was it going to be another heavenly battle?

That was too unrealistic. If the opponent was the Ghanaians, he could also call for a Heavenly Battle. However, not if he was against the Mayans. The long-distance attacks of the Mayans were most suitable for group attacks, so without a doubt, he would definitely be kited to death.

The Aslanians were not as rash as the people of Arbiter, moreover, there was no need for them to humiliate their opponent on their home ground.

Even though the Mayans were low-profile, their strength was not to be underestimated.

The referee walked to the front. "Team leaders, please come forward to draw the lots, the red side will send up their first team member."

Verus did not move, he was looking towards the sky. His body was shining, and the shine was getting brighter and brighter. All the Mayans stood up, and they looked at the time on the Skylink.

Everyone was looking at the strange Mayans. What exactly were they waiting for?

Aslan time, afternoon 2 o'clock.

"Maya Empire's team will choose the Heavenly Battle!"

Aurora stood rooted to the ground. What did this mean?

Someone, there was actually someone who would dare to insult the great Aslan Empire?

Targeting the Aslan Empire and calling for a team leader Heavenly Battle?

Had he gone mad?

Had his brain been struck by lightning?

Everyone was dumbstruck and was looking at Verus. Nobody knew what was happening. Were they really challenging the Mayans?

All along the Mayans had kept a low-profile, the Mayans who were known to be yes-men, the Mayans who were cautious. In the Milky Way Alliance, they had always given away their benefits. And if they ran into any disputes, they would almost always back down. What was happening???

All the Mayans who were present raised their hands into the air, mumbling words in their mouths. It was the Mayans' language, not the common language of the Milky Way Alliance.

Of all the people present, there were only very few who could understand it. But Aina was one of them. The Mayans were celebrating. It seemed like some seal had been touched, and their agreement with a certain person had ended. And from now on, the Mayans had regained their freedom!

"Is this bunch of crystal people crazy? Retards, and behaving atrociously on Aslan's territory, they are going to have bad luck!"

"Maybe they are trying to find a way out so that it would not be too embarrassing when they lose."

"It doesn't seem like it. This should not be the case, considering the character of the Mayans. Seeing that they are being overly sensitive, could it be that something has happened?"

Lear's expression turned heavy. He could understand the Mayans' language. This meant that the Mayans had obeyed their agreement with God of not harming any human for three hundred years. Now that the agreement had been completed, the Mayans had regained their freedom and were no longer constrained. And from now on, they could act freely in accordance to their own rhythm.

Other people might not have understood, but Lear had guessed their intentions. There were only two people in mankind's history who had emerged to become gods. Actually, with the strength of mankind, they would never have had the ability to surpass Atlantis or Maya. The people of Atlantis had advocated for peace all along, and were both spiritual and religious. However, the Mayans were different. The Mayans were very powerful, and they advocated for the expansion of their powers. However, when they met the second god of mankind, they could only surrender before the power of God. During their days in the Milky Way Alliance, they were well-known as the country who always tried to never offend anyone. They had always given in.

But now, the agreement had been completed. They could finally return to being the prideful Mayans, and they were just in time for this year's IG.

Wang Zheng could also understand what was going on. Even though he had not learnt before, he was very clear about the meaning of those words. Not only was it clear, but a shadow of a person appeared in his mind. It was that master, Wang Tong, which Charcoal had mentioned. The one who had helped him perfect his Primordial Regression Technique, and the strange person who had entered the second round.

Was it him?

Hearing the Mayans respectfully addressing him as God, and because of his one sentence, they gave way to avoid conflict with mankind for three hundred years.

The Mayans who all along liked to walk with their heads slightly lowered all raised their heads.

The eyes of Verus were as sharp as the glint of swords. The Mayans confirmed the call for a team leader Heavenly Battle.

The glory of the Mayan Empire was going to blossom in the Milky Way Alliance.

Even though the agreement had ended, it was evident that war would not happen within a short time. Time had changed many things, the Milky Way Alliance was indeed very powerful now, there was no need to doubt this. Moreover, the Mayans had also gradually integrated into the Milky Way Alliance. However, the arrogance of the Mayans was going to burst forth; they were going to become the leaders of the Milky Way Alliance and not just act as a subordinate.

The noble Mayans, the rulers of the second era, had revived!

It was obvious that the other people had not come to realise all of this. Wang Zheng looked at Aina, and slightly shook his head.

He was trying to say that this was very dangerous.

Wang Zheng sensed a dangerous atmosphere. Anything that had any form of relation to the Rubik's cube was beyond common sense. He was afraid that the Mayans were going to make some trouble. After all, Aslan was the motherland of Aina, so Wang Zheng would not wish for anything to happen.

Sword Saint Aurora, the pride of the young generation of Aslan. He was born an aristocrat. He had an amiable character, was magnanimous, and could be said to be the role model of the Milky Way Alliance. But this time around, he was really enraged.

Anyone who offended Aslan's dignity in front of him was committing a capital offense.

But rules were rules. With a wave of Aurora's hand, the rest of the 11 Aslanian warriors immediately stood up. The Aslanians were enraged.

As the popular champion's choice, the Aslanians, who represented the top-notch strength of mankind, had never ever felt so insulted. They were going to use their blood and lives to teach their enemies a lesson!

The twelve warriors of the Aslan Empire were enough to form a set of the combined assault formation which Aslan was famous for. If it was not the Mayans who were insane, then it was the world.

Tongues were wagging around the whole venue. The generals of every country were all exceptionally excited, while the general of Maya had already calmed down.

Verus appeared. A type of crystal mech that was never seen before was transported out. The screen showed the name as "Maya's Mantis". This type of mech was clearly much more complex than the usual crystal mecha. It seemed like its structure was made up of layers upon layers, and under the sunlight, it was spreading out captivating rays of light.

Without a doubt, this was a type of super mech, and perhaps this was the trump card of the Mayans. Could it be that the Mayans had stayed low-profile for so many years but they had invented a super mech as a plan for them to rise again?

What's the use of just one mech?

Everyone really had no idea what the Mayans were arrogant about. Everyone was discussing spiritedly, but no one understood the significance of today to the Mayans.

Today, they must offer their victory as a sacrifice to their ancestors. And for the Aslanians, who were the representatives of mankind, this was no doubt a very good offering!

After seeing this mech, Aurora had already awoken from his anger. The Mayans were not weak people, and there was possibly some type of conspiracy going on. As the team leader, he ought to calm himself down.

"All of you, choose the mech which you are best at. Later on, let me fight alone. Oz, make your own judgement according to the situation later."

"Leader, I think I would be more suitable to be the vanguard. You are better at observing the big picture, so you should keep a lookout. I also feel that these crystal people are up to something."

Oz said. Even though the Sword Magician was frivolous, underestimating the enemy was really rarely seen on the Aslanians. They had already slowly calmed down from their anger earlier.

After all, the Mayans were a powerful civilisation. All these years they had been keeping a low-profile, and the performances of the crystal mecha also did not show that they were invulnerable. But who knew? After all, their heritage should not be underestimated. This was completely different from the aboriginals from Ghana.

Everyone started concentrating with full attention. They acutely sensed that the atmosphere was not right.

Was Aslan going to meet with unexpected failure?

Aurora chose the Sword Saint 9th Gen, Aslan's super mech, while Oz chose the Sword Magician K. They were all top-notch mecha to operate. The rest of the warriors also made their choices one after another, and they chose those that matched with their team formation.

Aslan's tactics were very comprehensive, their team cooperation was also very strong, and their discipline was even stronger. After Aurora's command, everyone also started to be on alert.

In the previous round of battle, the energy absorption and the energy splitting net of the Mayans was indeed very terrifying. However, the strength of Lya Sphinx was still not comparable to Aslan.

All the mecha which the Aslanian warriors chose were good at charging forth, but the only thing which they would need to guard against was similar to an attack which had no distinct range. That was the reason why Aurora especially urged again and again that they need to be ready at any moment to activate their energy shields.

The Mayans were good at energy attacks. And since they actually dared to call for a Heavenly Battle, they would certainly have a trick that would end both parties in mutual destruction.

This was also the reason why Olivios dared to call for a Heavenly Battle. As for Wang Zheng, that was…completely different. It was really a 1v1 from the start till the end as he picked each individual off. He had practically been using a cheat mech.

However when one looked at ranged attacks, it was a double-edged sword. If one miscalculated, the whole game would be lost if the opponent closed the distance or if the pilot missed. One would need to possess calm judgment to make the right decisions for victory. Yet it looked as though the Mayans had staked everything on one throw.

Aurora and Oz went to different sides on the arena. This could ensure their victory by preventing them from getting hit by a single, surprise area of effect attack.

Both parties went into their mecha, then the referee sounded the gunshot for this exotic game. Facing the majestic Aslan Empire team, this shining mech, with a name of Maya's Mantis, which people were unable to make heads or tails of, could it actually be strong enough?

Oz drove his Sword Magician K and launched a sudden attack. Aslan's strategy was an appropriate one. First, regardless of what the Mayans were conspiring, considering the individual strength of Oz, he would be no weaker than any opponent here. Even though the opponent had called for a Heavenly Battle, Aslan could still choose to fight a 1v1. A victory like this could likewise bring about glory.

Looking at the opponent, Oz was soaring with fighting desire. The Princess was present as well, so Oz decided to end this in the shortest time possible.

Bursting forward suddenly, the distance of the mecha was decreased to less than 30 meters. Verus was still not moving. Could it be that he was still thinking of using the energy splitting net?

Sword Magician of Oz suddenly had rays of light radiating all around himself, Ability X!

Boom boom boom…

Rays of Sword Qi that split open the earth and ground radiated outwards. This was Oz's ability, C-rank energy control. Once the beam saber was in his hands, it could practically attack in unfathomable directions. This was like how Ao Ziwei and Astina controlled fire freely. However, in terms of control and strength, Oz was much stronger.

High Pressure Energy Slash! Kill!
