Chapter 1242: Give Up or Resist

Both parties were making their choices for the vanguard battle.

Atlantis’ line-up was rather comprehensive. Dina Atlas had many choices. The choice for the first battle was not important for Saruman Snake. Whether Wang Zheng took the stage or not, the Sea Queen team should send someone with great strength. A person with strength must constantly be prepared for change.

Go, Ander Lucia,” said Dina Atlas. As the number two in the Sea Queen battle team, this was a form of respect for Saruman Snake.

On the other side, Wang Zheng gave Mu Zhen a pat. “Show them the courage of the Titan!”

Mu Zhen nodded.

On the big screens, the cameras were panned to the two people picked for the vanguard battle. The entire arena instantly roared with cheers that would not stop.

“The two contestants for the vanguard battle have been decided. Ander Lucia versus Mu Zhen. Both parties have entered their mecha for debugging. Somehow, I’m actually having some uncontrollable expectations even before the battle begins,” said Si Jiali.

“This just means that you also believe in miracles. Let’s see what Wang Zheng can bring to this semi-final!” said Jondi Lilick. In terms of publicity, he had done his best so that people would not give up hope. At least in terms of morale, they should not lose to the Sea Queen battle team.

The two vanguard contestants took the stage. A round of rowdy discussions spread through the entire arena. Ander Lucia had naturally chosen the Rune Warrior; that amazing runic mech.

Everyone thought that Mu Zhen would pilot his gigantic Giant mech; one force against ten. Instead, Mu Zhen only wore a suit of armour.

Giant Armour!

Giving up on the gigantic mech and focusing on demonstrating agility. This was the tactic of Saruman Snake.

As such, Mu Zhen would be a size smaller than the Knight of Holy Light. However, facing the Rune Warrior’s god-like agility, it would be sufficient to handle it.

The gigantic size of the Giant mech was its advantage. But while battling the Rune Warrior, it could be beaten to death without even an opportunity to retaliate.

But without the gigantic power and defences of the Giant mech, the Giant Armour’s defences would be greatly reduced.

Mu Zhen felt the countless cheers while standing in the battlefield. This was an arena that every Titan yearned for. The Titans – they lived for battle!

He was grateful that Ada had brought him along and allowed him to experience a different life. The greatest honour for a warrior was to die in a battlefield.

Mu Zhen understood the importance of this battle. He was not concerned about who his opponent was, nor how strong his opponent was. The Titans were never afraid to battle.

In the name of battle!

Mu Zhen raised his big sword. His commanding aura was starting to agglomerate.

Ander Lucia was slightly stunned. How could someone who had yet to reach Earth-rank have such a commanding aura?

Atlanteans were indeed sensitive. The Titans were not humans and had very primal battle talent. But the difference was still very huge. However, the Atlanteans would give the same respect to any nation that respected battle.

The runic mech lit up. The focus of human and Titan battle tactics were warfare and imposing auras, while Atlanteans were more focused on individuality and would not be affected by external interferences. It was impossible to suppress the Atlanteans.

The arena had totally quietened down now. Everyone’s focus was on the battlefield.

Tamira — Warrior of Holy Light!

Soylas — Quadruple Thunder!

Porasta — Blessings of Ares!

Haemil — Space Aisle!

Morro Mons — Imprisonment Cage

Set after set, the Runic Matrix flashed continuously. Compared to Mu Zhen’s agglomerating commanding aura, the Atlantean’s Runic Matrices sent more people trembling in fear. These matrices superimposing on the runic mech were simply despairing.

However, seeing the sets of Runic Matrices seemed to excite Mu Zhen even more. The giant’s body exuded vitality; so strong, so invigorating, so powerful!

Charge! Kill! Kill! Kill!

With a loud roar, Mu Zhen took the offensive. Dragging the big sword, dashing in huge strides, he charged towards Ander Lucia.

Ander Lucia felt rather helpless with this sort of primal battling. He wanted to finish off his opponent with a single set of the matrices.

In an instant, the runic mech disappeared into the air, paging space directly. The Runic Matrix flashed and the runic mech appeared behind the giant. The Rune Sword struck forward, with Quadruple Thunder appearing around Mu Zhen at the same time. If it had been the Giant mech, it might not have been able to withstand this hit…

Mu Zhen’s reaction was very swift. This was the insight he had achieved from training in the primeval forest. When he abandoned the gigantic mech, the Titan found his instincts.

However, this was not of much use. The Runic Matrix appeared at Mu Zhen’s foot. Purple lightning shot. An Imprisonment Cage had already shrouded Mu Zhen.

The Atlantean’s Runic Matrix attacks were like a network that came from all directions. Ander Lucia, who was entirely covered by the Warrior Holy Light, struck head-on.

It was a momentum that seemed to want to finish off the battle in a matter of seconds!

Bang…

Surging..

Burst of shock. Mu Zhen’s big sword blocked the strike from the runic mech.

Ander Lucia smiled slightly. The power of the mech was ever increasing. How could the power of the physical body confront technology?

Mankind was clever enough to advance towards mechanical civilization because they understood the limits of the physical body. Unfortunately, the primitives did not understand this. Armour… honestly, he was high.

The Rune Sword pressed down hard on Mu Zhen’s big sword, inching slowly toward his skull. Mu Zhen could not make any move at this moment, as there was Quadruple Thunder all around him. It seemed that the choice of the armour would bring agility, but it was only his wishful thinking. If there were insufficient confrontation abilities, what use was there for agility?

This agility did not seem to have much effect. Mu Zhen was completely suppressed. Thinking about it, the difference was really huge. Those powerful teams had also felt helpless when they were up against the Atlanteans. On what basis could he create a miracle simply because he was a little bigger in size?

The people’s expectations were indeed a little too high. Witnessing such a huge difference, their mood dampened as well.

“Ada, how do I handle the Runic Matrix? I really don’t understand it at all.”

“Although time is rather short, I can help you to understand. No matter what power, it is just a form. Don’t be mystified by it. Believe in your instincts. Titans possess the best battling instincts in this world. Do you believe in yourself?”

“I… believe in Ada.”

The bravery of the Titans was not for himself, but for beliefs and for the people they wanted to protect.

Roars…

The big alloy sword suddenly bounced back. A fierce wind spread from the giant armour, instantly forming a huge tornado, blocking off the surrounding Runic Matrix.

Mu Zhen was propelled high up in the whirlwind. A roar sounded in the sky. Amidst the thunder and lightning, Mu Zhen’s giant armour shone in a strange, transparent light.

Ye Zisu smiled ever so slightly. This was a super armour that she had specially made for the elite giant. Super Power Armour. A large number of supergravity energy mines had been added to it. No cost was spared in making this Super Power Armour to help the giant to fully unleash his power.

The Titans did not have to be responsible for the technical aspects of the armour. The giant only needed to unleash his full power.

Follow his instincts, enjoy the battle!

When endless strength ran through the body. This sensation was unbelievably amazing. His body was getting lighter and his vision was getting clearer.

Ander Lucia did not flinch despite seeing the leaping Mu Zhen.

Kalamuso – Stiff Mire!

Morro Mons — Imprisonment Cage

Two Runic Matrices shrouded Mu Zhen. The big sword in Mu Zhen’s hand suddenly let out a sword aura that was chillingly cold.

The Runic Matrices that were forming… shattered!

Mu Zhen had already broken through. Just like a war god, he had launched his attack towards the runic mech at lightning speed.

Ander Lucia was shocked momentarily. The Runic Matrix had been breached???

Bang…

The Rune Sword blocked Mu Zhen’s attack. As soon as Mu Zhen was immersed in his state of mind, he would forget everything and use his instincts to battle, to enjoy this battle. This was truly a Titan!

The big sword attacked the runic mech like the wind. A round of frenzy attacks forced the runic mech to have to defend.

What was crucial was that Ander Lucia did not understand what was happening. How could his Runic Matrices be breached?

On the other hand, Mu Zhen’s confidence had skyrocketed now. Ada’s teachings were indeed useful.

Wang Zheng also nodded silently. His judgement had been correct. The best way to deal with the Runic Matrices was to use spiritual disconnection. This was what he had experienced when he was battling Aragorn. This was in addition to his understanding of the Runic Matrix. After three days of continuous practice, Mu Zhen and Lie Xin’s reception were pretty high. This was the only chance they had in this disadvantageous situation.

Lie Xin also seemed exceptionally excited. However, Wang Zheng was not so optimistic. This was definitely not the full strength of the Atlanteans. This last-minute preparation definitely added some chances, but not to the extent of standing a chance of winning.

The same Runic Matrix was broken through by Mu Zhen’s sword once again. The entire arena was stirring up now. Perhaps it was their support for the weak; everyone was chanting Mu Zhen’s name. Titans were undoubtedly easily stimulated. Under such encouragement, Mu Zhen was battling vigorously. His big sword was spinning like the wind, continuously pressuring the runic mech.

However, such cheers did not include skilled masters like Jondi Lilick. They were all indeed very surprise that Mu Zhen had breached the Runic Matrices. But it was obvious that Ander Lucia had not given his best, perhaps not even half yet.

After a round of attacks, Ander Lucia used the Space Aisle Runic Matrix and shook off Mu Zhen’s chain attacks.

A smile appeared on Ander Lucia’s face. Although Mu Zhen’s strength was average, he still exuded battle spirituality, or rather battle instincts. However, would he not be rather naïve to think that he could beat the Atlanteans with this alone?

Wang Zheng was indeed resourceful. It was very likely that Wang Zheng had taught Mu Zhen how to breach the Runic Matrices. No wonder His Royal Highness Hao Lin was still warning them before the match.

In the VIP seats, not only was Governor Mu Sen there, His Royal Highness Hao Lin of Atlantis was there too. Prince Hao Lin had grown taller since a few years ago. He seemed to be more handsome too. At the moment, Prince Hao Lin was seated next to Aina. The young prince seemed rather excited about this battle but had an entirely child-like mentality. He was more concerned about the process rather than the outcome of the battle.

But he did not realise that the outcome would determine the fate of many people.

Mu Zhen’s triumphant progress had been halted. Ander Lucia suddenly raised the level of the Runic Matrices. The spiritual control had also been increased. Mu Zhen’s spiritual disconnection could not be cut off.

Titans were not skilled at spiritual control. Neither had he reached that level yet. This was the reality of the difference, and it would not disappear through sheer willpower.
