"Alright, everyone, welcome back! The Sovereign Dominion Team and the Twilight of the Gods Team are now seated in their seats, making their final preparations!"
In the commentary booth, Li Jiu turned his head and asked, "Let's do our usual thing and make some pre-match predictions. Huahai, what do you think the score will be in this match?"
"With two Champion Emperor players from Sovereign Dominion in charge, plus my good brother... cough cough, Exalted Emperor, that makes three Champion Emperor players," Huahai laughed. "With this amazing lineup, I really can't think of any reason to lose!"
"So I think the score will be 2-0, Sovereign Dominion shuts out Twilight of the Gods!"
"Is there absolutely no chance for Twilight of the Gods to win?" the Pingzi asked curiously.
"How can they win?" Huahai teased. "Are they going to imitate the fighting style of [ Tiger Roars in the Mountain Forest ] and [ Phoenix Crown and Rosy Robes ], targeting the weakest Sovereign Dominion, and precisely targeting their own Champion Emperor?"
"However, according to this playstyle, Sovereign Dominion's weakest player right now seems to be their vice-captain, jungler Long," Li Jiu joked. "If he were the captain of the Gods, Silver Dragon, then Sovereign Dominion could be officially declared the strongest team across the entire internet!"
"That's not all," Huahai said seriously. "If Exalted Emperor collects Three Champion Emperors, he can immediately become the fourth Champion Emperor player and just wait for the official Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor process at the end of August."
Li Jiu and the Pingzi nodded in agreement.
"That's why I dare to vouch for it with my past glories," Huahai patted his chest confidently, " Vice Captain of Sovereign Dominion Long is definitely not Silver Dragon!"
"Alright viewers, both sides are ready. Let's move on to the tense and exciting draft phase and see what lineups they'll bring out! Let's look forward to it!"
The arena for the Gods.
Yinuo, his palms sweating, said, "You've played in KPL for so many years and have long since developed a big-game mentality, so why are you suddenly so nervous facing Sovereign Dominion?"
"After all, our opponents are Mountain Lord Phoenix, plus Exalted Emperor, who can rival a true Champion Emperor player. It's inevitable that we'll be nervous." Chaofeng, on the other hand, was relatively calm. "You should prepare yourself mentally; we'll most likely lose to Sovereign Dominion."
"I understand." Yinuo nodded. "I'm already content with just the title of King Title; as for the Supreme King Title, I've never even considered it."
"You spineless coward!" Yazi snapped a toothpick in half and sneered, "So what if we defeat Sovereign Dominion? They're human, not gods. As long as we find their weakness, we might still have a chance to win!"
"Are you talking about Vice Captain of Sovereign Dominion, Long?" Yinuo hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously, "Actually, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."
"Speak your mind, or shut up!"
"Could Vice Captain of Sovereign Dominion Long be your team captain, Silver Dragon?" Seeing the change in everyone's expression, Yinuo quickly added, "I was scrolling through Douyin last night, and everyone was speculating that Long has a hidden identity."
" Silver Dragon never removes his mask, so we don't know what he looks like," Chaofeng softly. "However, he does have reasons to join Sovereign Dominion."
"Reason?"
Chaofeng and said, " Silver Dragon has always wanted to defeat the Imperial Emperor and avenge the Imperial Crown, but the Imperial Crown is too powerful, and one person alone cannot defeat him. Therefore, Twilight of the Gods was established to recruit and sign potential players."
Yinuo, puzzled, "If Vice Captain of Sovereign Dominion Long is Silver Dragon, then he should be the one who signed Exalted Emperor to Twilight of the Gods, not joined Sovereign Dominion. That doesn't make sense."
" Silver Dragon has a serious case of admiring the strong," Yazi, picking his teeth. "He joined the Hundred Demons Team because he admired Shura, and after being rescued, he joined Imperial Crown because he admired the Imperial Emperor!"
Yinuo was stunned for a moment.
"Admiration for strength is one reason, but the most important reason is that the captain lacks love." Chaofeng's eyes showed a hint of reminiscence. "His parents are often away on business, and although the captain lives a life of luxury, he lacks the companionship of family."
"He tried to find kinship in the game. He first approached Shura, but failed. He then approached Imperial Emperor, but failed again. However, Imperial Emperor was a different case compared to Shura."
Yinuo asked, "What's so special about it?"
Chaofeng sighed softly, " The Imperial Emperor offered Silver Dragon the affection he desired, promising to become Silver Dragon's unrelated brother, but Silver Dragon, eager to prove himself, chose to betray the Imperial Emperor!"
What happened?
Chaofeng softly, "Back then, the Imperial Emperor was focused on honing his game skills and didn't have the energy to manage the Imperial Crown. So he made Silver Dragon the acting captain of the Imperial Crown and announced that as long as Silver Dragon did a good job, he would support him to become the second-generation captain of the Imperial Crown!"
"Holy crap?" Yinuo's eyes widened. " The Imperial Emperor is grooming Silver Dragon as his successor! I suddenly understand why Silver Dragon found family."
Chaofeng's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "One of the core members of the Imperial Crown has been trying his best to incite Silver Dragon to seize power, that is, to sideline the Imperial Emperor. Silver Dragon has been misled, and an unprecedented purge has been launched within the team."
"Anyone who supports the Imperial Emperor continuing as captain will be kicked out of the team! Never to be hired again!"
"Anyone who supports Silver Dragon becoming the second-generation Captain of the Imperial Crown will be promoted from reserve member to full member! Full members will be promoted to elite members! Elite members will be promoted to team management!"
Yinuo was speechless.
" The Imperial Emperor discovered this in time, immediately spoke with each core member individually, and secured the full support of Phoenix and others, using this as a starting point."
"Consolidate the team members who support the Imperial Emperor's continued election as captain, win over the wavering team members, and forgive the team members who support the Silver Dragon."
"By employing a three-pronged approach, we can completely quell this power struggle for the Imperial Crown. You know the Silver Dragon's ultimate fate: the Imperial Crown banished Silver Dragon!"
Yinuo swallowed hard. "I never imagined something like this happened at the Imperial Crown ten years ago. It's more exciting than a TV drama!"
"Captain Silver Dragon is too impatient!" Yazi said impatiently, twirling a toothpick. "Since the Imperial Emperor has promised you the captaincy, you should just wait patiently. Why do you have to resort to this power grab?"
"Yeah, look, what's the rush?"
Yinuo was also filled with regret. If Silver Dragon hadn't pulled off that power grab, then today's Captain of the Imperial Crown wouldn't be the Imperial Emperor, but Silver Dragon.
" Yazi didn't understand, and Xiaonuonuo, you still don't understand?" Jin Ni, the hero who had been banned from speaking, said, "Consider what you did during the Overlord Feast, and re-examine Silver Dragon's actions!"
"I?"
Yinuo was stunned. Back then, at the Overlord Feast, they were misled by Pei Qian, the manager of their AG recruitment department, who repeatedly targeted Exalted Emperor and even tried to nip Exalted Emperor in the bud.
He admitted that he bore undeniable responsibility and made mistakes, but the real culprit was Pei Qian, not Yinuo!
"I understand!"
Yinuo clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "It's that core member of the Imperial Crown who instigated the Silver Dragon Boss to seize power back then! He's the real villain!"
" Xiaonuonuo isn't too stupid!" Jin Ni clapped her hands encouragingly and reminded her, "It's your turn to ban heroes."
"Oh, okay." Yinuo quickly banned the hero [ Baili Shouyue ] and turned to ask, "Great God Chaofeng, who was that core member of the Imperial Crown who bewitched the Silver Dragon Boss back then?"
