Balchik's defeat was already certain. Cheng Yu had understood that the moment he saw how the Legion fought.
He also trusted that the Legion's Wisdoms would not disappoint him.
And so, after the Legion's debut, Cheng Yu kept his attention fixed on Bennett.
Although he had already tested Annihilator 0-9's strength, this was real combat, and Cheng Yu was still rather nervous. Most of the Legion's assets were here now. If they lost, the situation afterward would become extraordinarily difficult.
But when he saw Annihilator 0-9's opponent, Cheng Yu's feelings became terribly complicated.
Bennett would die, and he had to die. That was the conclusion Cheng Yu had reached after thinking it over many times.
Annihilator 0-9's ambush had paid off. His attack had disrupted the order of the rules within Bennett's body.
With his condition severely deteriorated, Bennett was no match for Annihilator 0-9. The outcome had been decided the moment Annihilator 0-9 struck.
Bennett's current struggle with the Annihilator was merely delaying his defeat and death.
Annihilator 0-9 had the support of the Legion's most powerful computer. Fatigue and a lack of focus would never be an issue for him.
Bennett, however, was different. First, Annihilator 0-9 had ambushed him, then overwhelmed him with his presence. Now he was being beaten back step by step.
In short, Bennett was in very bad shape.
Yet even so, Bennett was still Legendary. According to the Conductors' calculations, if they simply let him and Annihilator 0-9 wear each other down, the battle could last at least several more decades.
This was also Cheng Yu's first time witnessing a battle beyond Gold Rank. Battles between Gold Rank combatants could already be called clashes between gods, yet fights between Legendary combatants seemed rather unremarkable to him.
It was nothing more than ordinary hand-to-hand
