Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

In the audience stands.

The battle grew increasingly intense. The holographic projection image, which was displayed on the empty space above the giant arena, became closer as well. It looked clearer and more specific.

Many people wondered if it was possible to display the entire battlefield with just one holographic projection? Actually, it was completely possible.

How big of an area was 200,000 square kilometers? It was half the size of Liaoning Province. There were over 30,000 mechas in the area. If the space background and small planetary rings were not counted, it averaged down to about one mecha in every square kilometer. What kind of image was that? It definitely could be cleary showcased, where every action of every mecha could be seen in HD.

On the audience stands, countless audience members stared at the holographic projection. They were uptight, and many exclaimed...

“Hurry and look, the red mecha got another kill! Amazing, it’s so good! Cool!”

“Chey, that’s nothing. Look at the white one there. That’s the real deal. It moves like the wind. It’s amazing!”

“Aiyaya, those are child’s play. I heard my friend from the other side saying that there’s a black mecha that took out over 4000 mechas with one move. That’s terrifying! Apparently, that mecha became the most likely candidate to win the championship. It’s not on the same level as the ones you’re talking about.”

“Really? It’s so terrifying?”

The people discussed and, at the same time, paid attention to the number of remaining mechas.

“There are 19,863 people left. At the current pace, the final 10,000 contestants will emerge within the next two or three hours.”

“Hm, yea, it’s considered pretty fast. However, I heard that the black mecha is not currently making moves.”

“That’s strategy. After all, it might attract a siege if it’s too high-key. That’s not worth it.”

“That’s true, hehe.”

Another half an hour passed by. The number of remaining contestants was reduced to 17,615. Soon, it dropped to 15,422, then 13,325, then 11,654. Finally, the number became a round number, 10,000.

“Hahaha! Finally, there are only 10,000 remaining! Now the competition will become interesting!”

“Yep. Only now can this thing be called a real competition. Everything before was just the warm-ups!”

“Of course. These 10,000 people are the cream of the crop. They are definitely not ordinary!”

Soon, the scene in the holographic projection paused. This was the ten-minute break assigned for participants to rest and adjust. After ten minutes, the venue would be compressed again. The battlefield would become must smaller compared to now.

At the same time, the list for the final 10,000 people, or the 2,000 teams, were displayed on the giant holographic projection above the center of the arena.

Current remaining teams ranking:

First Place: Team Annihilation. Team Captain: Li Tianxing. Mecha Name: Spirit Emperor. Mecha Kills: 6,895.

This information was followed by a close-up shot of Li Tianxing’s mecha. The other four mechas belonging to the four Black-level Honorary Aristocrats were shown next.

Team Member Bessimo, Mecha Name: Judica, Mecha Kills: 2,652.

Team Member Harman, Mecha Name: Capini, Mecha Kills: 2,834.

Team Member Mark, Mecha Name: Barranxiu, Mecha Kills: 2,164.

Team Member Nelson, Mecha Name: Dark Brain, Mecha Kills: 1,961.

Total Mecha Kills by Team Annihilation: 16,506.

When the audience saw the statistics, the entire arena was in shock!

This small team alone took out over 16,500 mechas! That was a terrifying amount! After all, how many people signed up for this competition? 590,000! In the end, this team alone took out 16,500 mechas!

“Oh my god, am I seeing this correctly? Just this team alone got so many kills? That’s... terrifying!”

“That’s right. No wonder they said that this team was the strongest and the most popular choice for the championship.”

“In the chaotic beginning, all the teams were battling one another. The slightly betters ones should have gotten double-digit mecha kills, right? Yet, they still ended up with 16,500 mecha kills. That’s insane!”

Li Yang and the rest shared a look and sighed in unison. This Li Tianxing. His team was indeed powerful!

Five people. 16,500 mecha kills. These numbers were terrifying!

“Looks like the Young Master’s opponent this time is very strong.” Li Yang’s eyes widened. “The number of mecha kills is terrifying! Just their team alone took out so many others...”

It was no wonder that Li Yang was so worried. Li Tianxing’s team alone had so many mecha kills. After all, in the beginning stages where all the teams faced off one-to-one, at least half the contestants were eliminated. Half of 590,000 made 295,000. Furthermore, battles between mechas were often decided within one round. In other words, the number would probably be further reduced by half, or around 140,000. This was the actual number of active contestants once the battles began.

In the end, Li Tianxing’s team alone took out over one-tenth of the mechas. This kind of opponent...

“Looks like a difficult opponent.” Ling Xiaoyi sighed too. Then, she smiled and said, “It’s a good thing that the Young Master never really cared about winning or losing. Nevermind. As long as he’s happy. We didn’t expect to win first place, anyways. The Young Master just entered for fun. No matter the outcome, we should be okay with it as long as the Young Master doesn’t care.”

“That’s true.” Li Yang smiled and scratched his head. “Only the Young Master could be so carefree. If it were me, I’d definitely fight till my death against Li Tianxing. I wouldn’t rest until I took him out!”

“Then you’ll be even more depressed if you lose and come back.” Lucifer smiled and said, “Not everyone can be a prodigal. Without his heartless personality, one won’t be able to do it. Nevermind, we’ll see first. Who knows what the Young Master’s mecha kills numbers are. To be honest, I’m quite curious.”

“Yep, same.” Li Yang nodded. “I estimate that by the strength of the Young Master’s Granzon, he should be ranked either second or third... Hm, at worst top five. Hehe.”

Then, the holographic projection continued to introduce the other teams.

Second Place: Team Magic Armor Godly Mechas. Team Captain: Feng Wuhen. Mecha Name: Sebasta. Mecha Kills: 2,295.

This information was followed by a close-up shot of the white mecha Sebasta. The other four mechas belonging to the four Black-level Honorary Aristocrats were shown next.

Team Member Huang Yanlong, Mecha Name: Gulamwell, Mecha Kills: 1,525.

Team Member Didi.Norbach, Mecha Name: Cadiz, Mecha Kills: 1,196.

Team Member Gui Jialing, Mecha Name: Zamkid, Mecha Kills: 1,056.

Team Member Celia.Gulania, Mecha Name: Knowles.Li, Mecha Kills: 967.

Total Mecha Kills by Team Magic Armor Godly Mechas: 7,039.

Feng Wuhen’s team was a very powerful team as well. They had a total of 7,039 mecha kills. Those were impressive data. However, they did not look as good when compared to Li Tianxing’s team...

“Hai. The second place team is decent too. However, they’re still far too weak compared to first place.”

“That’s right. The difference is more than double. This data. What a shame.”

“There’s nothing that can be done. Who knew that Team Annihilation would be so strong. Hehe, there’s no way to compete. No way to compete! Now, it’s time to see how Team Annihilation destroys the other teams, right?”

“I think so, too. Hehe, this year’s competition is thrilling. Mechas as strong as these have never been seen before.”

Inside the VIP room where the Galaxy Aristocrats were, Yin Tianzong looked at the data on the holographic projection. He helplessly shook his head. “Hai. Although Wuhen’s team is strong too. However, the difference is too big. It’s more than double.”

“That’s right.” Jiang Duxing nodded. “The 600,000,000 price tag isn’t just for show. It looks like Li Tianxing is pretty much confirmed to be the champion.”

“It’s almost certain.” Yin Tianzong helplessly shrugged his shoulders. “It’s not that we are weak. They are just too strong.” He continued to stare at the screen and mumbled. “The only thing is, where is my Brother Dali ranked? Speaking of which, it seems like we haven’t heard much about him this time. However, with the strength of his Granzon...”

Thinking of this, the image of Hong Dali facing the Zergs resurfaced in Yin Tianzong’s mind.

The pitch-black gravity weapon. Countless Zergs dead from being squeezed into patties instantaneously... However, why were there no mentions of that weapon this time? What was going on?

Then, the holographic projection continued to showcase the other teams—

Third Place: Team Salf Alliance. Team Captain: King of Hearts. Mecha Name: Flash. Mecha Kills: 1,354.

Team Member Queen of Spades, Mecha Name: Rose, Mecha Kills: 863.

Team Member Diamond Knight, Mecha Name: Extreme, Mecha Kills: 755.

Team Member Ace of Clubs, Mecha Name: Flying Dragon, Mecha Kills: 668.

Team Member Blackbird, Mecha Name: Heavy Armor, Mecha Kills: 557.

Total Mecha Kills by Team Salf Alliance: 4,197.

Now the top three teams were introduced. The following teams’ data were miles behind the top teams. Even their faces were not shown. They probably could only be showcased if they advanced into the final 1000 stage...

And by this time, Li Yang and the rest were panicking—Hong Dali’s Team Dali was not in the top three!

“Was the Young Master eliminated?” Li Yang stared with wide eyes and carefully looked through the following teams’ names. However, he could not find it! The data was already showing teams ranked 1500 and below. However, Team Dali’s name was still nowhere to be found!

“Perhaps Dali was eliminated?” Yin Tianzong rubbed his eyes. “That shouldn’t be the case...”

Then, by the time the last group’s information was revealed, everyone was stunned. Li Yang and the rest, Yin Tianzong, and even the entire audience, everyone was stunned!

2000th Place: Team Dali. Total Mecha Kills: 0.
