"Mi University sees..."
Han Dong bows deeply in the direction of Popeās exit.
When this action is completed,
the last ounce of Han Dongās strength is completely exhausted, consciousness asleep.
The seemingly normal body collapses downward like rotten mud...
The mad laugh only forcibly awakened the consciousness, both the body and mind had long reached their limits.
It seemed to return to human form, but in fact, even the bone structure was granular, just Han Dong still biting the bullet, hoping to perfectly send Pope off.
In reality, there was no formation of a whole.
The pressure of this battle was unprecedentedly enormous.
Even though everything proceeded according to the strategy rehearsal,
unexpectedly, Pope still held a lethal card from behind at the last moment... Truthfully, when Han Dong saw the hidden left hand, his heart was entirely tense.
Fortunately, the final ending was the best outcome anticipated by Han Dong.
When the body slumped like mud, it was immediately wrapped tightly by a mass of white liquid.
Mr. M personally intervened to provide Han Dong with body reshaping and consciousness stabilization.
āRest for a while, Nicholas... you did very well.ā
Even words transmitted to the consciousness carried a type of āmoldingā effect.
On the other side.
Pope, who withdrew and exited, had no energy left to return to the viewing platform.
Sensing this, Hyde Darius immediately enveloped Pope with sea water, taking him back to the viewing platform.
With energy replenishment from Hyde,
and with the Sixth Finger harmonization by Dumps,
Pope recovered to a āmoveableā state within minutes,
and when he opened his eyes from the "meditative state," he immediately rose from his seat.
"Thereās no point in continuing the match, letās go... rather than waste time here, itās better to find other opportunities."
Aslan, squinting, immediately showed a relieved smile upon hearing this decision.
If the match continued, he would most likely collide with Green... Although Aslan had already planned to forfeit as soon as he stepped onto the stage, ending it earlier would save the embarrassment.
Currently.
Except for the already advanced Eugenes, everyone complied with Popeās opinion.
"Eugenes, do you really want to stay here facing two lunatics?"
"Tch! Letās go, letās go~"
Eugenes felt extremely conflicted.
Faced with the just-concluded peak battle, Eugenes was unable to let go for a long time,
he couldnāt accept his rivalās defeat here, nor could he accept Han Dongās astonishing performance.
Eugenes really wanted to use the "Scripture of the Corpse Eating Cult" to compete with Han Dong during the finals... However, Pope was right.
The finals werenāt his and Han Dongās āprivate meeting,ā
others would also participate, and even though there were still two matches yet to start, Green was certain to advance, there was no doubt about it.
No such thing as a āblack horseā exists.
At that time, what could Eugenes alone use to fight? If he provokes Green, he might even get dragged into the Mad Abyss, with significant risk of dying here.
With the final turn of Eugenes, the "Star Team" announced their withdrawal.
The reason was simple.
Currently, Han Dong and Hop had already advanced.
And in the upcoming matches, Green couldnāt possibly be eliminated... Even if Sally unexpectedly knocked him out, at least three generals would participate in the finals, making it impossible to contest.
At the moment Pope withdrew, the "Final Treasure" was almost destined for a set outcome, no variations would occur.
"Bah, these boring guys, they quit the finals without a chance to win and left directly.
Helen and Aslan are actually quite interesting.
Coupled with various changes in the game, it might make me enjoy... Oh well~ Iāll have to find fun with the other two teams."
A completely bored expression hung on Greenās face, continuing to lie on the flesh cushion.
...
Due to the departure of the "Star Team,"
the other two teams from the different world were also affected to some extent, with their mentality changing drastically.
Shinshi felt he had a greater hidden card,
and with the team still having the unpredictable factor āKeigo,ā he still wanted to gamble.
As a Demon Team had chosen to leave, the next match would evolve into a [two-on-one]
"As long as we can reach a consensus with the remaining two contestants from Olympus, we can surely win the final two matches.
By then, the stinking green-eyed creature would have left, and the finals would turn into a [two-on-two] format.
Nicholas has used all his cards in this match, struggling on the brink of life and death, unable to recover to full state by the finals... nor can he perform the suicidal act of piling his body across the arena.
We have a high probability of winning the Final Treasure."
Just as Shinshi wanted to privately communicate with the Greek team.
A mutation suddenly occurred.
A dim, gloomy glow rose in the viewing platform area where the Greek team was, mixed with the aura of corruption and wildness emanating from someone.
The Greek team, inheriting from the Twelve Main Gods of Olympus - the Goddess of Hunting, Demis, was opening her eyes at this moment.
Her pupils were covered by a layer of murky substance.
Her body surface also bore numerous filthy patterns, and some tentacles emerged from specific places.
"Complete Fallen"
"Sister!"
Though Bo had seen through the nature, he deeply cried out.
Luckily, Demisā memories were not erased by pollution, she still recognized her brother and teammates, and remembered everything that happened here... only her attitude had changed.
"Bo, I can no longer return to Olympus.
Iām sure Artemis will find a better candidate, please convey my apologies to the teacher... During my sleep, I went deep into the planet S-01 world, where my spirit was purified and cleansed.
I seemed to have met someone better.
The rest of my life, I will embark on a brand-new adventure, thereās a chance weāll meet again."
She intended to kiss her brotherās forehead but avoided it due to potential pollution spread, merely waving goodbye lightly.
Then.
A moose formed beneath Demis,
even her summoned creature was fully fallen, its antlers entwined with tentacles, and some grotesquely grown visceral organs distributed bizarrely across its body surface.
The moose carried her to Han Dongās team.
Silently relying beside Kite... both soul and consciousness regarded Kite as the [Master].
Her essence had transformed into a Demon, living in the S-01 world after the game ended.
Observing his sisterās current state.
Bo showed not anger or sadness, but rather a relieved smile,
he had long discerned his sisterās poor condition, retaining memory and surviving like this was already the best outcome.
"Letās go as well."
All members of the Greek team stood up.
Upon seeing their intent to leave not far away, Shinshi couldnāt sit still.
Using Divine Wind Governing Body, swiftly chased after them.
"Friends from Olympus, now a Demon Team has exited, this is a great opportunity for us to turn the tables... if we can continue to cooperate, we can surely win the remaining two matches."
Bo calmly said:
"Unwinnable.
Before coming here, my [Eye] received blessings from the Infinite Stone Ancestor... allowing me to peep at more previously unseen things.
Besides Nicholas, and a young man with six fingers,
the rest of the Demons have a strange ānumber symbolā inside them.
The green-haired youth who advanced in the first match is [Five].
What caused my sisterās complete fall was [Nine].
The two from the second match are [Seven] and [Eight].
And during the third match, freely controlling space, single-handedly tearing the Forbidden Speech and Feynman fusion state Demon, only holds the number [Two] inside.
In the upcoming match.
[One] will surely appear... which is why the "Star Team" chose to exit earlier, because they knew the game was over.
Moreover, this [One] doesnāt have the good temper like [Two].
What I can glimpse is only the Endless Abyss, even a look feels like being pulled into it, far more dreadful than my sisterās current state.
Thatās all."
The "Greek Team" forfeited.
