Tempest of the Stellar War - Chapter 92

Chapter 92

Some mecha were brainless to operate and were of an inferior class . For high end mecha, the greater the capability, the higher the standard of awareness and operations skills were required to be in control . They were not suitable for everyone .

But for Lady Stormsword, her level of control over the Brightmoon 8 . 0 was out of this world . Simply put, assassination-type mecha like this were extremely suited for a single player to take down five, turning the tides and saving the world .

Skeleton had also encountered a crazy 1v5 situation . But Lady Stormsword was way scarier .

She could use a set of chain attacks to kill five opponents one after another right away .

On screen, the Brightmoon 8 . 0 looked like a ray of silver light, harvesting opponents' corpses .

This was basically a high speed mecha . Her opponents could not even get anywhere near her .

An asphyxiating, terrifying attack . It was incomprehensible .

As a girl, Bubbly Foam was close to setting up an altar to idolize her . She was the pride of all women .

But it was also the first time Bubbly Foam felt worried for Skeleton .

It was not always the case that a high-end mecha was better than a lower end one . Mecha were simply weapons . The best ones were those that were most well suited to players . If players couldn't catch on to the controls, a high-end mecha would mean that one was courting death . But if the player could make good use of the mecha, it would create a completely different narrative .

This was precisely what everyone was worried about . What would happen when a Wargod No . 1 encountered a player who could essentially fuse with her super mech?

If it were an internal match between players from Earth, there could still be a chance that the opponent would let him off . But Lady Stormsword came all the way from Moon to challenge him, so she definitely would not let him off easy . Plus, she was female . Complacency was one of the most common mistakes made by males in such cases .

The forums came alive . All platforms were active with comments, and 70% of them were in support of Lady Stormsword . 30% showed support for Skeleton, reason being Lady Stormsword had left CT for a long period of time, and whether or not she could maintain her standards was a huge question . And right now, Skeleton was in good condition .

Battling . It was how they played it .

However, there was one thing they all understood . As Long as Lady Stormsword could exhibit the Lightning Combo, she was invincible .

Up till now, no one could survive such an attack .

The Brightmoon mech was powerful in sharp and quick attacks . It had high agility . Its weakness was its defense, but if made good use of, there would nothing to defend against .

A typical war machine that replaced defense with attack .

On the other hand, the weak defense system was relative to other high-end mecha, the Wargod No . 1 not included .

Wang Zheng took his own sweet time to warm up using all sorts of positions . When he felt as flexible as a boneless man, that was when he was the toughest . Just one punch and it would be as if he punched a hole in space .

According to Bonehead, rough moves like Leaning Landslide were merely the basics . On one hand, it taught one to exert explosive force, and on the other, it trained the ability to resist with attacks .

The five elements were the foundations of the soul . Moves and techniques still required training by the individual .

On the other side, Solon and Yan Xiaosu were having a worked up discussion . Eventually, Solon gave in to Yan Xiaosu's demands of the ratio of splitting winnings, but with the condition that all five rounds had to be won . If they lost in any one round, the winnings would be cut in half .

Yan Xiaosu knocked on Wang Zheng's door and gave an "OK" sign . The battle began .

Wang Zheng put on the equipment and entered CT .

On the faraway Moon, Milo put the sensors on too . Of course, she did not need to be in a net cafe . The large, comfortable activity room of a hundred square meters had everything she needed .

Masasi and Atos chatted as they drank . Masasi had visited Earth and Atos had gone to to study on Mars . Both were trying to blend in and understand the local situation .

Judging by the current situation, Mars was still the Moon's biggest rival overall . Earth was some distance behind, but through the course of mankind's history, Earth was always odd . There were always one or two great people born there when everyone else was on the verge of forgetting it .

In the long history of humankind's interstellar travels, they were met with two great obstacles . On the first, an internal conflict within the Solar System . At that time, a man called Li Feng had appeared, and he single-handedly resolved the problem and saved Earth .

The second time was when the Zerg invaded soon after humankind ventured out of the Solar System . Humankind almost went extinct . At this point, a man named Wang Dong appeared and saved mankind, establishing two glamorous eras for the Earth .

But as technology advanced, more and more parts of the Milky Way Galaxy were discovered and developed . As they came into contact with an increasing number of civilizations, Earth's influence gradually reduced to zero .

Mecha that were operated solely by pilot skills were now replaced by new stellar mecha which combined pilot skills and genetics .

They could unleash mankind's own prowess and at the same time make the best out of the mechanical warriors .

Would Earth return to power?

Only the people on the Moon were concerned with this problem . But now, they would not consider it a problem anymore . The Solar System was merely a tiny circle in the Milky Way Galaxy . To rise to power was a much more difficult feat than it used to be .

Milo was done with her warm ups . This alone proved the difference between the Moon and the Earth . Net cafes did not exist on the Moon . This was a CT club, which usually was part of a gym . On the Moon, quality was thought to be more important than quantity, and cases where there were battles after battles were rare . The people of the Moon exercised much better restraint . They could not fathom how Earth people could lose game after game . They'd curse after losing and lose after cursing . Why did they not study the cause of their loss?

The people of the Moon saw CT as a sport, but Earth people thought of it as a game .

That was a deep seated difference in culture . Both parties debated it for a long time, so much so that they were not interested in arguing now . They had their own lives to lead . The only problem was who did better .

To the Earth players, nobody cared how well you performed in local matches . What was most important was the glory you brought from external matches .

Solon had settled upon a massive deal with Yan Xiaosu . The stakes were high, but Yan Xiaosu had made it very clear . They would not play if Solon did not sign it . Solon was left with no choice .

Solon could not take on the responsibility of the satellite .

Yan Xiaosu was most certainly a scheming businessman, but when the job was done, his IQ would begin to plummet straight down . He was chatting up with a group of people from the Skeleton Corps .

Rainbow, Wild King, and company were analysing the characteristics of Brightmoons . Frankly speaking, neither of them were able to deal with such a mech . The advantage of assassin-type mecha in single combat was just too significant . They were mainly deployed for special missions and were pretty much useless in large battles . Being able to hold down the fort when faced with a group attack was most crucial .

"This Lady Stormsword has already thoroughly understood the intricacies of the Brightmoon . "

"Rainbow, I heard you're going after Bubbly Foam?"

"Don't you think Bubbly Foam has a beautiful voice?"

"Hot damn! Rainbow, you've got really thick skin! Not only does she have a beautiful voice, she's got a beautiful face too! Don't tell me you made her join us for your own personal gains!"

Wild King and gang teased . The Skeleton Army was mainly made up of middle school students, yet Rainbow, who was already a ranked soldier, was most frequently teased . At first, Rainbow persisted in defending himself . But he learned that these people's interests would only grow as he struggled, so he could only concede .

"Alright, alright! Stop chatting . The battle is about to begin . Brothers, let's get this moon girl!"

"Ahem! Little Xiu, you're in the wrong . We've got to be polite to our female counterparts, even if they come from the Moon . Here, let us sing to their victory!"

Yao Ailun cheered . He was much more wild in this world . To be more accurate, he was basically feral .

Student Yan was one of those cheering and shouting in the audience . Boss was just in the house next door .

Battle Map: The Royale Arena

This was a battle map full of luxurious ambience . It was suited for the people of the Moon who had a thing for elegance and opulence . The people of the Moon had always been envious of Earth, where elegance bred . It was a pity they did not have that .

Empires like Aslan were considered immigrant empires . They were hardly affected as they were too far from Earth . But the Moon was far too close to the Earth and was under its influence . That's why no matter how the Moon and Earth disagreed with each other, they were inseparable .

Such was destiny .

"Milo, this girl is pretty callous . " Atos chuckled .

"She's just trying to determine her opponent's abilities . " Masasi smiled . A complex environment would require adaptability and experience . But in a simple environment, there was only a need for a good and strong foundation .

Amongst them, Milo studied other countries' techniques the most, and she remembered them best . At the same time, she was good at assessing the opponent's strategy and coming up with countermoves .

She was an advisor for the Eight Stars .

A battle-type military advisor .

Every time a battle concerned national pride, Earth would give their loudest cheers and greatest support .

The number of VIP viewers went through the roof . 1 . 5 million . The enthusiasm was unusually inflated . Also, this time, they spotted some big shots from Earth in the audience .

"Oh goodness! Isn't that Prince?"

"And the one beside him, is that King of No Mercy?

Those in the audience had noticed some IDs which stood out, shining under a crown .

This was Earth's most powerful king!

Only the strongest players on Earth could inherit the ID .

Seemed like Student Little Skeleton's performance had drawn the attention of these top players .

The post edited clips would be far more exciting, but these masters highly valued the feeling of a live battle .

Apart from the throned master players, many from the diamond class were present too . After all, some of these diamond-rated players had been defeated by Skeleton and wanted to see how far he would go .

If the players were on equal ground, there would not be anything worthy of their attention, but now the opponent was very powerful . Would Skeleton still stay in control despite merely using the Wargod No . 1?

"There's quite a number of big shots! Even Prince is here!" Comrade Old Deer said in surprise .

"Prince" was a title crowned by the masses . He was a long-term occupant of a throne for the best players among CT . His unique long rifle technique was unparalleled . His evaluation: always mimicked but never overtaken - most certainly a representative of Earth .

Individual and team battles were both strongly represented . There were no obvious flaws . Team Earth was the main force .

Even a pig head would have learned to be careful after so many rounds of competition . Comrade Old Deer was evidently not a pig . He was more determined than a pig, but the tides were slowly turning .

"Player Skeleton is faced with an unprecedentedly strong opponent . Lady Stormsword has never lost a single round in one-on-one battles . She is steady and sharp in her Moon battle fashion . Under such immense pressure, let's hope that Player Skeleton will still be able to fight and show them our prowess! Please do not be an expert at home but a layman out there!"

Bubbly Foam had thought that he had turned into a new person . But that last line showed her that he had truly changed .
