Jarilo-VI, Old Weapon Testing Ground
"The next game will be between the Trailblazer and Giovanni Giorgio of Epsilon!"
Xing walked to the center of the field and looked at Giovanni, who was behaving elegantly and drinking a beverage.
"It's nice to see you again, ma'am! Your performance was truly impressive!"
I knew it was you!
Having successfully mastered [ Aetherium Wars ], starting with just one person and one pig, he pushed straight to the finals with his outstanding skills and talent.
They also learned Giovanni's true identity—who would have thought he was the hidden, Masked Fools!
I knew it was you!
"Hahaha~ If it wasn't fate that brought us together here, then there's only one answer." Giovanni's hearty laughter echoed throughout the arena.
"But... let's forget about those long-winded, metaphysical discussions for now! The priority right now is to fully enjoy this celebration."
"Friends, dance with me! Let's lead this perfect celebration to its climax!"
Giovanni tossed a coin and just as he summoned his Aether Spirit... he saw Xing, without a word, pull out an hourglass-shaped necklace and press a switch.
A few seconds later, Giovanni was dumbfounded as he watched the Aether Spirit vanish without a trace.
Xing smiled wickedly. After getting into [ Aetherium Wars ], she found the game increasingly addictive, and she even discovered hidden gameplay features!
That's right, it's the [ Eternity ] necklace in her hand! This thing can even absorb Stellaron, so isn't cricket Aether Spirit something she can easily obtain?
Most importantly... the necklace can also absorb other people's Aether Spirit; [ Eternity ] truly lives up to its name!
"My turn, attack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless Aether Spirit swarmed forward, instantly burying Giovanni.
"Stop... stop! Stop!"
Giovanni quickly backed down; it was the first time he'd ever seen anyone play the game " Aetherium Wars " like this, treating it like an " Antimatter Legion "!
And just like that, Xing won the game.
"The victor of this match is... the rising star player— the Trailblazer from the Astral Express!"
"Brilliant! Your skill and determination are truly impressive!"
Xing asked with a hint of regret, "Is it over here?"
"The end? No, no, no, you've misunderstood something. The most exciting part of this celebration has only just begun!"
"Next, you will face the ultimate winner of last year's celebration, a proud figure whom millions of players can only look up to—former [Champion Leader] Miss Topaz!"
"Only by defeating her can you qualify to win the championship."
"Huh... but I didn't see Topaz either? Could they be using holographic projection too?"
After overcoming numerous obstacles and amidst the anticipation and cheers of the beautiful girl March 7th, Galactic Baseballer has finally reached the final stage of the [ Interastral Tournament Festival ]!
"Huh? Teacher Ye Yan?"
The moment Xing and March 7th saw that their opponent was Ye Yan, they were both stunned. They had indeed encountered quite a few familiar faces in the [ Aetherium Wars ], as well as an unfamiliar face from Luofu ( Guinaifen ).
It's truly unexpected that Ye Yan is actually a hidden master of the [ Aetherium Wars ] within their ranks!
"Hmph~ She can't win."
Silver Wolf sat on the best viewing platform in the stadium, taking in the entire view. With her hands on her chest, she had already declared Star's defeat.
"Although Teacher Ye Yan is very strong, we should trust our teammates a little more!" March 7th suddenly became enthusiastic, then realized something was wrong, "Wait, Silver Wolf Girl?!"
"The reaction time is a bit long. As you can see, due to certain objective reasons, I am currently unable to appear in person... so I have no choice but to participate through holographic projection."
"Although we have different positions... let's put aside our prejudices and enjoy the game together at such a world-class event... what do you say?"
As someone who's been there, Silver Wolf specifically advised, "In the face of games, race, bloodline, faction, Path, values... none of these matter—this is advice from a veteran player, so remember it well."
"Let's get back to our previous topic. See Ye Yan? To be honest, in the gaming world, almost no one but him can push me to this point... Ye Yan's strength is simply insurmountable..."
Silver Wolf shook his head; this was the sense of despair brought about by Eternity.
"There's no way we can win! I don't understand! I believe Xing can do it!"
At the competition venue, the announcement system broadcasted on time:
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the final round of the [ Interastral Tournament Festival ]! Approaching us is the dark horse of this competition, a rising star of the [ Aetherium Wars ], known as the Galactic Baseballer — The Trailblazer!"
"Her opponent is—an ordinary milk tea shop owner who just happened to be passing by! And a mysterious man in black who wreaked havoc at Interastral Peace Corporation, injured the head of the Market Development Department, and escaped unscathed!"
"Hmm! Like that 'Network Wanderer' from Punklorde, this milk tea guy doesn't want to reveal his name! Although we all know that 'Network Wanderer's' real name... but that's not the point!"
"Still discriminating? Tch..." Silver Wolf clicked his tongue, looking at the milk tea that occupied half of the virtual screen, unsure of what to say.
I never imagined Ye Yan would already be shaped like a milk tea...
The perspective shifts to the center of the arena. It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous. I recalled Himeko's words:
"Although I always maintain a cautious attitude towards the company's products, being in such a joyful atmosphere, I felt my nerves were being activated... This experience was truly unforgettable."
"Such an opportunity is rare, and I hope you will enjoy it. After all, [ Trailblaze ] is not just a purely arduous journey; enjoying the pleasures along the way is also an important part."
That's right, games should be played with a smile! That's how you get [happiness]!
With her hands on her hips, she displayed a confident and healthy smile, making it seem to anyone who didn't know better that she had victory in the bag.
"Come, Teacher Ye Yan! Let me repay your kindness in teaching me with this move!"
Ye Yan:?
"To put it another way, let me use the [ Aetherium Wars ] to avenge my previous defeat!"
So far, Xing has never beaten Ye Yan in pillow fights or games, and now this is his only chance!
"Young man, confidence is a good thing. But... are you really prepared to be my enemy?"
"If I were to back down because of this, then I wouldn't be myself!"
The next second, Aether Spirit to fill half the arena poured out, and as far as the eye could see, there were only elite monsters, making it impossible for ordinary players to defeat them.
"Such a grand display, not bad... Xing, you actually dare to use the technology I invented against me?"
"Mind your own business with pretty girls, are you ready to face the wrath of Galactic Baseballer?!"
The most basic rules of the game still need to be followed; after I release my Aether Spirit, it's Ye Yan.
Faced with hordes of Aether Spirit, Ye Yan did not hesitate and threw out a low-level Blaze Out of Space.
"Huh? I didn't see that wrong, did I? Teacher Ye Yan chose to use an Blaze Out of Space to fight against the Star's [ Aether Spirit Army]?"
March 7th couldn't understand Ye Yan's actions at all. He wouldn't even install an expansion chip. Was he being too confident?
"I had the same thought as you at first, you'll see as we keep watching."
Xing snorted, " Teacher Ye Yan, your Aether Spirit stat is way too low. Only 8 points in attack? Even Trotter wouldn't have that low."
Just as she was making sarcastic remarks, a red shadow suddenly flashed before Xing's eyes, moving so fast that she didn't even have time to react.
When they came to their senses, the Aether Spirit army present had been reduced to half its original size.
"Huh?" She blinked.
At this moment, Xing finally saw Ye Yan's system panel as an Aether Spirit...
[ Blaze Out of Space ]
[Level: 1/6]
[Life:∞]
[Attack:∞]
[Speed: ∞]
[System Update: The offensive overlord Aether Spirit, possesses powerful area-of-effect attack skills.]
star:...
Oh no, the opponent's level is higher than hers!
