"Earth's Solar System IG team . These kinds of rookies only deplete precious resources and training space . "
"The Solar System is famous for being first rounders, so maybe they find greater meaning doing this . "
Zhang Shan was just preparing to try an Aslanian mecha when he heard footsteps behind him .
There stood a few youngsters . All IG participants wore their school uniforms with their school badges; it was considered a kind of glory .
They were from Locke's Star .
The famous mercenary star who achieved a historical best score of entering the quarterfinals . Although they were not the top team around, other countries generally tried not to run into them . People from Locke's Star were all-rounded with good team awareness . Even if you did not die running into them, you might shed an entire layer of skin . The IG was a fierce battle, and no one would purposely want to offend the relentless Locke Star team .
A Locke Star man glared as Zhang Shan peered over . "What are you staring for? Looking for death?"
Zhang Shan laughed .
"Where did this bunch of puppies come from, barking aimlessly!"
Triggered, the Locke Star people stormed forward, completely surrounding Zhang Shan . Zhang Shan was just as fearless . These a**holes, even though the Solar System team might not have had strong teams before, they would not let others take advantage of them . People that did nothing would only get bullied here .
At this time, Landry arrived in time and came to the people of Locke . "Remember that you are at the Royal Aslan College . Everyone must abide by our rules . If you are unhappy with each other, battle it out openly . Private fights are prohibited here . If you are worth anything, battle it out at the IG . Don't bring shame to your country! "
As a member of the discipline team, Landry was dedicated to discipline . With the student union adding more students, there would be a higher probability of incidents like these, especially with gangs of energetic soldiers preparing for the IG .
"Remember, I'm Jackman, the captain of the Locke Star team . We will make you cry!" Jackman said, pointing towards Zhang Shan's nose . "Let's go!"
Zhang Shan was angered to his core despite being much more stable and mature now . As the opposing party was just out to get him, he could not hold back .
Landry smiled . "Don't be fooled . That was intentional . From the current schedule, your Solar System team will be up against the Locke Star team for the first round, and they just wanted to secure their chances of winning . "
Zhang Shan relaxed after listening to his explanation . How sinister . . . the Locke Star team was mighty in strength; to think that they bothered to engage with such petty tricks .
The competition had to be really steep .
"Thanks . I will not pay heed to those guys, but they better watch out!" Zhang Shan slammed his fist against the wall .
Landry smiled . "You are part of Wang Zheng's team, right? I hope you guys will do well . "
Landry did not say much . There were a lot of things to be done, so he could not stay for a long time . Zhang Shan froze and could not help but laugh . Even when they were in Aslan, Wang Zheng was still something else .
When the training was over, Zhang Shan told the rest what happened . Zhang Runan was immediately furious . "How could you not beat them up?!"
"Runan, it doesn't matter if we beat them up or not this time around . We will leave them with a good memory when we meet again during the IG . " If it was the old Zhang Shan, even if Landry tried to hold him back, he would have done something foolish .
"Wang Zheng, why aren't you saying anything?" Meng Tian felt that Wang Zheng was unusually quiet .
"What's the matter? Everything is fine . I am not mad, I'm much more restrained now, so don't worry . " Zhang Shan laughed, thinking that Wang Zheng was worried about the consequences .
"Zhang Shan, you don't need to tolerate them in the future . This time, we have only one goal at the IG: destroy and eliminate, one by one!"
Wang Zheng's murderous intent was becoming more and more obvious . He had always wanted to find a rhythm, which was necessary for victory . However, he was not sure what his attitude should be towards the upcoming IG .
Now he understood . This was a battle between beasts, and only strength could win respect!
Planet Atlantis was holding a grand ceremony .
To the Atlanteans, any form of battle was sacred, and every soldier was fighting on behalf of the gods .
Since the start of the IG, Atlantis was undoubtedly the most popular amongst the eight IG powerhouses .
Until the recent uprising of a few other major empires, Aslan had won twice, and Arbiter had won the championship once . The other empires were also very strong, but they had ultimately always perished before the Atlanteans .
Today, strength was not absolute . Consumption of resources, tactics, and relationships all played a part . Atlantis was like the common enemy, and it was not easy for them to make it to the very end .
In the last two competitions, Atlantis had understood this . Therefore, they did not send their strongest lineup and instead kept a low profile . This time it was different . Winning was always a good thing .
"Isn't this lineup a little exaggerated? It's simply not giving us humans a chance . "
"They are planning to wipe us out!"
"It seems that after several rounds of silence, Atlantis has decided to regain their throne . "
Atlantis was not made up of only Atlanteans . As the country became more open, many ambassadors and businessmen had obtained the right to reside in Atlantis . To obtain a residence in Atlantis was not an easy feat .
At their ceremony this year, several ambassadors from other countries, and even some humans in power, were invited .
At this time, between the ambassadors of various countries, it was clear that they were keeping their eyes wide open for insider intel .
"There are opportunities for Aslan and Arbiter to win . However, it is still very difficult to triumph over Atlantis . After all, this lineup . . . "
"In the past, even with an average lineup, they put up a fierce fight . This time, Atlantis is regaining their strength, displaying their full force, and attempting to deter all of humanity," said an Arbiter businessman .
"I am afraid that the Milky Way Alliance has been in a sensitive state as of late, and thus they might be displaying their military prowess as a warning!"
Everyone nodded in agreement . In fact, Atlantis' strategy was clearly understood . Without strong backing, how could Atlantis be so powerful in a world dominated by mankind?
Humans who stayed in Atlantis had special tasks and missions . However, after close contact with the Atlanteans, they discovered how truly terrifying they could be .
In addition, their positive image was also very strong . Amongst the younger generation, many saw Atlanteans as fellow human beings, and some even thought that Atlanteans were above humans .
Conservative humans saw this as the cultural invasion of Atlantis . Who knew what was the next step of evolution for mankind? Did the Atlanteans think of human beings as beneath them?
However, staying conservative was not the way . At this IG, Atlantis clearly wanted to shine, and they intended to showcase absolute strength . With their roots from the same origin, Earth, showcasing amicability helped deepen their relationship with humans and ensure trust .
Suddenly, a loud noise interrupted all conversations .
The Atlantean guardian squadron raised their guns towards the sky .
Twelve members of the Atlantean IG team, led by the little prince, Haolin, proceeded out of the temple step by step . Every time a step was taken, the ceremonial guards' phalanx fired once towards the sky . The heavy feelings of grandeur spread like a spark on oil .
At the top of the shrine was an altar standing high above all, representing the exercise of God's authority . The Queen was standing alone, holding the power of the gods in her hands and wearing a gorgeous outfit . Each accessory worn had a historical significance as heavy as a mountain .
Her gaze garnered God's attention .
At the ceremony, all of the Atlanteans faced the ceremonial engraving with common respect and honor for the gods .
"Under the leadership of the Queen, under the guidance of the Lord, Atlantis is alive and will live for eternity . We will bring glory back to the Queen, glory that belongs to us all . . . "
A melodious chant sang from every Atlantean there . It was like a poem or a song, but different in some senses . It was heavier, laced with history in its melody . It was as though the song had turned into something that physically blessed every Atlantean .
The ambassadors that were observing the ceremony became solemn . Although they seemed to be worshipping like everyone else, they were really worried about the current situation .
Hao Lin took a big stride . His little body was full of spiritual glory, shining as though he was being watched by the gods .
With a pause in the song, a string of the unique Atlantean language escaped from his mouth . It was projected to the ears of the worshippers not with the help of a loudspeaker, but by some mysterious power . It was not loud, but it was crisp and clear .
"What did he say? Is that an Atlantean spell?" Among the ambassadors, some knew the language, but they could not understand what the young prince was saying .
"It is the gods' language, an ancient language . Like runes, this kind of language cannot be learned . "
The ambassador's eyes flashed . He was the most advanced expert in the Atlantean language amongst mankind . He was able to read and write in most Atlantean languages, including the ancient Atlantean language . But the words Hao Lin spoke were incomprehensible to him . It was only taught to Atlanteans, so even with his linguistic talent, he could not decipher it .
As Hao Lin's voice quietened, the majestic Queen stepped down from the altar . One could not tell if she was walking or peacefully floating .
She landed in front of Hao Lin and the 12 IG members, who bowed down together .
The Queen's eyes glowed with light, and the scepter in her hand gently tapped the top of Hao Lin's head . "God gave you this honor . "
"We swear that we will bring glory back . For the gods . For our Queen . "
"Proceed!"
Boom . . .
The 12 members stood up together, with Hao Lin standing at the side . A a strange sound transmitted from the ground in the distance . 12 cages rose . Inside were 12 giant animals .
This was the climax of Atlantis' expedition . These animals represented the identity of each warrior – Star Beast Knights!
"Is this really a star beast?"
"Young star beasts . Where did they get them . . . and why are they so tamed?"
Half a minute later, the humans on the viewing gallery could not close their jaws . No matter who they were or where they came from, they had the same thought . Atlantis was absolutely invincible!
