At this very moment, a team fight erupted at the mid-lane high ground.
The friendly Ying Zheng and Lady Sun were caught by Zhao Yun, and then immediately taken down by the enemy Xiao Qiao. The moment the support Liu Bang Teleport down, he was fed birds by the enemy Hou Yi and Stun on the ground.
He was caught in a crossfire from four enemy soldiers and died instantly!
"It's over, it's over, it's over." Fly's face turned grim. He hurriedly controlled Arthur to run out of the fountain and head straight for the mid-lane high ground. "How can my Arthur, who's been AFK for twenty minutes, possibly hold this position?"
Fly's brain was racing, trying to figure out how to clear the minion wave at the cost of his life, when suddenly, the enemy players in the mid and high ground areas began to recall.
"Back to the city?"
Fly was slightly taken aback.
Yinuo excitedly shouted, " Brother Niu, Imperial Emperor is stealing the crystal!"
Fly quickly dragged the minimap. Inside the enemy's crystal base, Imperial Emperor Han Xin was stealing the crystal without any minions. Keep in mind that this was the original version of King of Glory Season 1, before the crystal defense mechanism was modified.
Huahai shouted, her blood boiling, " Feiniu, stop them! Stop them!"
"I know, I know!" Fly was overjoyed. He activated his skill to accelerate and rushed into the mid-lane high ground. He unleashed a powerful strike on Zhao Yun, and then used his ultimate EX Curry Stick to hit seven or eight enemies, silencing them all and interrupting their recall.
" Your Imperial Emperor, I owe you nothing!"
Huahai's veins bulged, and he said anxiously, "Screw your brother-in-law's champagne! Marco recalling to base across from the second tower, go and interrupt him!"
Marco?
Fly suddenly woke up and hurriedly activated his second skill, spinning his holy sword to charge forward, but it was too late, Marco successfully returned to the fountain.
At this moment, the enemy crystal was down to its last sliver of health, and Imperial Emperor Han Xin was also down to his last sliver of health. Fly Huahai held their breath, their hearts pounding in their throats. The enemy Marco rushed out of the fountain and unleashed a basic attack on Imperial Emperor Han Xin.
A crisp snapping sound.
Imperial Emperor Han Xin is immune to fatal damage and delivers the final blow.
"Holy crap? He released a Destiny!"
The crystal exploded with a bang, and a victory symbol appeared on the phone screen.
" Menglei's Strange Crystal Transfer Reissue!"
Huahai's eyes showed a hint of shock. In the 2016 KPL Autumn Season, when AG played against sViper Team, Menglei used the Destiny to steal the base without minions!
After that, the official team strengthened the crystal overnight, and stealing the base became the culture of the AG team. Menglei also relied on a Destiny called "Si Ming" worth 1,900 yuan to make a fortune for the rest of his life.
" Menglei's backdoor attack without minions and using the Blade of Despair happened in 2016," Fly said, still shaken. "Don't forget, the player Imperial Emperor in this parallel world is in the early morning of October 2nd, 2015."
"If we're really going to rank it, it's Menglei's execution of Imperial Emperor's strategy that's the real deal!"
Yinuo chuckled, "Ling ling ling seng seng seng seng, Marco guarding the base is a major taboo in military strategy. You're talking about Hou Yi, why is his game Marco? If he had chosen a different game name, he could have defended the base."
"Indeed." Huahai couldn't help but chuckle. There are many strange rules in King of Glory, like Hou Yi automatically taking over the jungle after dying three times, Dharma spinning in place with his second skill, and Guan Yu suddenly disappearing...
The most famous example is Marco defending the base; if Marco defends the base alone, the crystal will inevitably explode.
"Just as the King of Glory forum said." Fly checked his match history, but there were no match records, and searching for "Imperial Emperor" yielded no results. "No information can be found about Ghost Match or the Ghost player Imperial Emperor."
"But we successfully deciphered the ghost story of the Imperial Emperor," Yinuo summarized. " The Imperial Emperor isn't a ghost, but a King of Glory professional gamer living in a parallel world of 2015, playing for a professional team called ' Yousu Team.'"
"I must say, I'm quite eager to meet this Imperial Emperor."
Huahai recalled Imperial Emperor's brilliant performance in the game, clicking his tongue twice, "To have such amazing awareness and Meta Understanding in Season 1, he would have been a game-changer in 2015."
"Even by today's standards, he's at the level of a KPL champion jungler."
How do I meet you, Brother Hai?
Yinuo teased, "Could it be like in online novels, where the Imperial Emperor travels to our world? But even if the Imperial Emperor could travel here, he would only travel to 2015 in our world, which is ten years ago."
Fly's gaze deepened, and he suddenly asked, "Do you think this Imperial Emperor living in a parallel world of 2015 is related to the Imperial Emperor that Liuli is searching for?"
Upon hearing this...
Huahai Yinuo was stunned.
Not long ago, Zhou Keyu, the Captain of the Imperial Crown, said that Liuli was looking for a King of Glory- level player named Imperial Emperor who did not exist in the world. Liuli also took out a ring called Imperial Ring, claiming that it contained the blood of Imperial Crown's core members.
If the blood in the Imperial Ring can be successfully compared with the DNA of the blood of the Imperial Crown's veteran members, it will prove that the Imperial Emperor truly exists in the world.
"Although my rational mind tells me there's no connection, emotionally speaking," Huahai said, stroking her chin, "I always feel there's an intricate connection between the two."
"I agree." Yinuo Nuo said thoughtfully, " The Imperial Emperor that Liuli is looking for doesn't exist in our world, and the parallel world Imperial Emperor we just encountered also doesn't exist in our world."
"If the two are unrelated, why are they both called Imperial Emperor? Why don't they exist in our world?"
" Yinuo is absolutely right." Fly nodded, finally making a decision. "Since fate has placed me in the Imperial Emperor's realm of 2015, a parallel world, then it is my responsibility to get to the bottom of this."
"What is the relationship between this Imperial Emperor and the Imperial Emperor that Liuli mentioned?!"
Fly stood up.
Huahai was slightly taken aback, then asked in surprise, "You've decided to tell Imperial Crown that you're Chou Ox?"
"I was already torn about whether to come out, but now that this whole Imperial Emperor thing has happened, I have no choice but to!" Fly smiled. "I'll take this opportunity of getting my blood drawn at the hospital to explain my hidden identity to everyone."
"Keeping it a secret forever isn't a solution," Yinuo said supportively. " Brother Niu, I support you in revealing Fly's identity as a professional player."
"You'd better think this through," Huahai said seriously. "Once Imperial Crown finds out you're the champion, Fly, he'll definitely distance himself from you because of the vast difference in your status, and your relationship will never be the same again."
"I know that."
Fly nodded. In fact, he had joked before, calling himself Fly from the Wolves. The members of the Imperial Crown were also half-joking. If he were Fly, they would definitely treat each other with respect in the future.
"But we, the members of Imperial Crown, have genuine feelings for each other. I believe that my relationship won't change after I revealed my identity as Fly, because genuine feelings between people are built on—"
Fly suddenly frowned. "Based on what again?"
"What else could it be based on?" Huahai said dismissively. "It must be profit. The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for gain."
"That's right," Yinuo chimed in. "Genuine feelings between people are often built on mutual benefit; after all, we live in a world where self-interest reigns supreme."
"Benefits?"
Fly murmured, "But I feel like it's not about profit, but something else, something purer."
