Yes, that's what Charles thinks!
"Tsk tsk tsk, you're actually this weak? That's beyond my expectations!"
Having gained the upper hand, Charles didn't hold back with his words either.
Where did that arrogance you had in the Sea of Consciousness go? Weren't you so cocky? How come you're acting so pathetic now?
If that's all you've got, then you can just wait for my sister to break off the engagement! Your abilities are far from being on par with my sister's!"
Hearing Charles's mockery, Suyo felt extremely resentful.
That despicable spoiled brat! Isn't he just relying on his Concept Armament?
If we disregard the difference in equipment and it's a fair fight, Suyo is confident that Charles is no match for her!
With her brother's help, she refined six Epic Fragment and built the prototype of the Mental Image Palace, making her strength vastly different from before!
When she used the [Dictatorship] card, that guy named Yate who appeared in Kalentia was no match for her at all!
He was like a stray dog on the street; she kicked him to death!
This is enough to prove her ability!
Of course, what frustrated Suyo even more was—
After using [Dictatorship] and changing the format to a single-match elimination, she defeated Yate, and should have already secured the victory and advanced smoothly!
However, the people of Kalentia are really too shameless!
The item card [Scatter Blossoms] that Charles is holding not only splits the party into two smaller teams, but also has another, even more powerful, mechanic:
When matched, they are two teams.
But when it comes to calculating wins and losses, they become a team again!
It's only considered a loss if both teams lose!
That's right, the [Scatter Blossoms] mechanism is superior to [Dictatorship]!
Therefore, the Suyo "one game determines the outcome" is invalidated.
Looking at Suyo's unwilling eyes, Charles felt a sense of relief.
Actually, he was a little apprehensive when he first faced the Suyo.
After all, the shadow this guy left on him in the Sea of Consciousness was far too deep!
During this time, Charles even frequently dreamed of the fox mask, waking up in fright in the middle of the night.
He never expected that the stinky fox who had almost become his nightmare would turn out to be just an ordinary genius after leaving the Sea of Consciousness.
That's hilarious!
This level of skill might be impressive in the City of Kindling, but it's nothing special in Kalentia!
Indeed, some Echoer are naturally favored by the Sea of Consciousness Sea of Consciousness, where they are bestowed with all sorts of strange and wonderful abilities.
According to Charles, this is the type of Suyo.
Although he is outstanding among his peers, that's not enough to be a good match for his sister!
Charles made up his mind; he would go back and ask his father to reconsider the marriage.
He thinks he's worthy of being his brother-in-law?!
"Without Concept Armament, without item cards, you've already lost. You can't beat me!"
Suyo gritted her teeth and spoke; she really wanted to prove herself.
Her brother had done so much for her!
She entered the competition full of confidence, but was she destined to suffer a crushing defeat again?
I'm so unwilling to accept this!
"Ha, that's the familiar face of a loser."
Charles chuckled.
"To this day, many people who have lost to me have said this."
but--
I have Concept Armament! I have item cards!
You disagree?
If you're not happy about it, then keep it to yourself!
Besides, speaking of item cards, isn't your [Dictatorship] item card also a item card?
However, your [Dictatorship] is the reward for being second in the East Island, while my [Scatter Blossoms] is the reward for being first in the East Island!
The reward for being number one on the East Island is that you have to be stronger than the number two on the East Island. Is there a problem with that?
"If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for only getting second place instead of first! You're useless!"
On "Losers' Square".
Yate, who was kicked to death by Suyo, looked at the image projected into the Sea of Spirit Matter—
Not only did Charles utterly defeat Suyo, but he also completely dominated the verbal battle!
He admitted that he enjoyed watching it!
As wise as he is, he even recorded the whole thing with a dashcam immediately.
I plan to send it anonymously to Vivian as soon as I return to Kalentia.
Lady Vivian, please take a good look!
This fox-faced woman is absolutely not someone you should entrust your life to!
He's not good enough for you! He's not good enough for you at all!
Seeing Charles's arrogant demeanor, Suyo was enraged!
So, in a fit of extreme anger, she snapped.
Then he was kicked to death by Charles.
It was at this moment that Charles finally emerged from that nightmare!
He burst into laughter.
From now on, he will never have to be afraid of being startled awake in the middle of the night again.
Overcoming inner demons feels so good!
The spirit disintegrates, and consciousness sinks.
Suyo opened his eyes in "Losers' Square".
The butler had been standing guard nearby, looking at him with obvious disapproval.
"Young Suyo, you've lost! How could you lose? Especially in front of the whole city!"
Suyo was in a bad mood at the moment, and upon hearing this, he immediately spoke coldly:
"Shut up! Get one thing straight: it's not me who lost, it's the Thousand Faces Family that lost!"
If it weren't for that Concept Armament, how could that guy be a match for me?
Therefore, you should consider this question: why could the Isolde Family provide him with Concept Armament as support, while the Thousand Faces Family could not?
The Thousand Faces Family lost to Isolde, that's all!
Okay, stop making that face. It's just a loss; it's not the end of the world.
I will win back; it's only a matter of time.
After having her older brother, Suyo's wings, it must be said, grew much stronger.
She was no longer the girl who could be manipulated by her family.
She believes she has really improved a lot.
At least this time, even after losing, I didn't cry at all.
Of course, it was also because the sense of oppression Charles gave her was far different from that of Qiji.
Having witnessed true hell, how could she be afraid of a small swamp?
When she faced off against Qiji, she was the one relying on external aids, yet she was still beaten so badly that she had no chance to fight back.
This time, she knew in her heart that her true strength was no less than that of Charles, and might even surpass him!
A perfectly matched Concept Armament can bring an enhancement to the Echoer that far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people!
Of course, a loss is a loss.
Thinking of her brother, Suyo couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Brother, I'm sorry, I've embarrassed you again.
Moreover, not only would it be embarrassing, I might also lose your wife along with me...
Brother, you won't blame me if the engagement gets broken off, will you?
Of course, Suyo knew that her brother, who was her Guardian Spirit, could never marry Vivian. Her current wild thoughts were just a way to relieve her frustration at her failure.
Outside the stadium.
Seeing that Suyo, on whom they had placed so much hope, had ultimately failed, the audience of City of Kindling couldn't help but sigh.
Fortunately, they still Qiji!
Now, Qiji is their new hope!
Moreover, this new hope is clearly more reliable than the old one!
At this moment, the Thousand Faces Family's shills still wanted to continue to associate themselves with Qiji and market the claim that he was "on par with the number one genius," but the public was no longer buying it.
First place is first place, there's no such thing as a tie!
How could our God Ji and loyal hero be compared to the repeatedly defeated Little Su!
In their opinion, even the Myth Fragment that Suyo are not as good as being handed over to the God Ji!
They should jointly elect the God Ji as the next King of Kindling!
The lounge of the elite class was deathly silent.
Everyone is feeling despair because of the failure of the Suyo!
Suyo is their team's super ace, their absolute captain!
Even the Suyo has been lost, so who can stop Charles?
Squad leader Panyan was so anxious that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, but he couldn't think of any way to turn the situation around.
However, the next moment, he no longer needed to think about it.
Because fireworks were exploding on the big screen, the outcome was already decided.
Charles won the entire match!
Seeing this, Cao E was stunned for a moment, then immediately felt it was unfair:
"Wait! Why is it that when Suyo won against Yate, the single-game victory didn't count, but when Charles won against Suyo, it did count?"
Although Panyan also felt aggrieved, seeing the words "the outcome is decided" brought him a sense of relief amidst his resentment.
At least, I don't have to think about how to defeat Charles anymore.
There's no need to do something impossible anymore.
