Chapter 215 - 211: Alpha VS Schuck Beta
Woof woof!
(Abattle within the team? My claws have been itching for it!)
Upon hearing Bai Qi’s words, Schuck Beta immediately became interested, and Alpha turned slightly. He didn’t speak, but the fiery Fire of Soul burning in his eyes clearly revealed his thoughts.
On the other hand, Gamma and Delta seemed unenthusiastic.
Thump thump.
(Gamma just evolved, so he’ll sit out this one.)
Plip plop.
(I just arrived; I won’t fight for it.)
Seeing his twin pets so sensible, Bai Qi nodded approvingly, yet his expression turned serious. “Mutual yielding is good, but there must still be competition.” “Even though Gamma and Delta, neither of you have received your basic benefits yet, you should still compete if you have to.”
“Healthy competition could better stimulate mutual progress-”
Upon hearing his words, Gamma and Delta realized what he meant and developed some desire to fight.
Seeing not one of the four pets objected anymore, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. He bid Bai Qiucha hello, then returned with his four pets to his portable sanctuary.
” Now, I’ 11 announce the rounds of the competition.”
At some point, Bai Qi had changed into a suit. He walked to the referees’ point of the battle room and turned on the big screen.
“The first round, Resource contention group: Alpha VS Schuck Beta.”
“The second round, Base Benefits group: Gamma VS Delta.”
Pointing at the plans on the screen, Bai Qi asked, “Any problems?”
Clink clank.
(I’m fine with that.)
Howl howl!
(I welcome all comers.)
Thump thump.
(Gamma obeys the master.)
Plip plop.
(I will try my best.)
“Alright then, Alpha and Schuck Beta, you go prepare first. Gamma and Delta, also start preparing for the battle.”
On hearing Bai Qi’s words, Alpha and the husky immediately entered the battlefield to prepare.
“Alpha, for this team battle, refrain from using The Sword of Death.”
Looking at the pets eager for battle, Bai Qi pondered for a moment before deciding to impose a restriction on Alpha.
Alpha was his main pet, so Bai Qi prioritized him for any enhancement materials, hence Alpha’s overall strength far exceeded other pets like Schuck Beta. Besides, the Sword of Death transcended general super skills and was a transcendent skill.
If Alpha was allowed to fight at full strength, there was no point in continuing the fight.
Clink clank.
(No problem.)
Alpha nodded and instantly set the Sword of Death aside. Schuck Beta didn’t make a fuss and willingly accepted this arrangement.
As a group’s internal data collector and researcher, no one knew the power of the Sword of Death better than them. The Sword of Death was insurmountable unless there was an equal or higher dual-level inhibiting force to counter it, making defense a mere formality.
Even without the transcendent skill, the Sword of Death, Alpha still had two other superskills, which made him extremely powerful.
Seeing that the pets were ready, Bai Qi immediately said: “In that case, the first round of the Resource Contention match of Bai Qi’s pet team, Alpha vs Schuck Beta, officially begins!”
Just as his words fell, Alpha made the first move. Anarchy Wings spread in the wind, the Gravity Sword swung as he flew fast towards the husky.
Although Alpha wasn’t very reliant on the Gravity sword before and after getting the Sword of Death, it didn’t mean the Gravity Sword was weak.
The Gravity Sword, as a super skill, was phenomenally destructive, but Alpha more often wielded the Withering Sword, which eventually became the Sword of Death.
However, now without the choice of the Sword of Death, Alpha slowly began developing the potential of his Gravity Sword.
A dull yellow light flashed, Alpha’s gravity directly reduced to the minimum, his flight speed abruptly increased and in an instant, he was above the husky. He heavily swung his sword downward.
Though this blow seemed ordinary, it gave a falling meteor’s feel, evidently intensified by several times gravity.
Reducing gravity to increase speed, increasing gravity to enhance destructiveness, Gravity Amplification had a simple and crude combat style.
Boom!
Facing Alpha’s surprise tactics, the husky covered himself with Etherium Liquid Gold too late to dodge, got hit directly by the Gravity sword, and immediately exploded.
Ka-pow, ka-pow.
(Beta’s explosive power is getting stronger, I wonder what it tastes like…)
Imitating Bai Qi, Gamma wiped a non-existent droplet of saliva from the corner of its mouth, wishing it could rush in and have a taste right then. Delta had a serious look on its face, watching the battle unfolding in the arena.
Blub, blub.
(They’ve switched to self-exploding wolves so quickly. Schuck and Beta are fast. Can I dodge in time?)
As Delta said, the moment they were obscured by Etherium Liquid Gold, their original bodies had already left their previous location, leaving a high-quality replica of a self-exploding wolf behind.
However, such a close-range explosion still didn’t injure Alpha. The Thunder Flame Power was completely blocked by a thick Ice Crystal Barrier, while countless Wind Blades broke through the smoke created by the explosion, cutting towards the ground beneath the self-detonating wolf.
But, of course, the Husky wouldn’t just foolishly wait for death to come. It had already distanced itself from Alpha the moment the self- detonating wolves exploded. Before the smoke could dissipate, countless rune-engraved cannons popped up around the battlefield, with even some floating turrets taking up positions in the sky above, all of them simultaneously locking onto Alpha in the center of the battlefield.
In an instant, a series of thunderous roars rang out in the arena as numerous Thunder Flame Powers bombarded Alpha, completely enveloping him.
As a super skill of the Mechanical Engineering Department, the Mechanical Lord wasn’t just capable of constructing various mechanical weapons. Due to the characteristics of Etherium Liquid Gold, it amplified all types of energy, combined with the destructive power of the Thunder Flame Power, it was a major weapon on the battlefield!
The Husky’s covering attack didn’t last long. A tornado tore through the blockage created by the Thunder Flame Power, countless sword blades continuously shielding the Thunder Flame Power outside. Some of them even skillfully exploited the gaps in the Thunder Flame Power’s attack, quickly heading towards the floating turrets and surrounding large cannons.
However, it seemed that the Husky had already predicted Alpha’s actions. The moment the storm of sword blades began, all the floating turrets quickly retreated, and the original large cannons that provided continuous output altered to intermittent firing, suddenly changing their attack rhythm.
At the same time, several metal wolves burrowed out from under the ground, disregarding the concentrated cannon fire in the field, and rushed towards the storm of sword blades.
Boom, boom, boom!
Under the concentrated attacks from the self-exploding wolves and the floating turrets, the rotational speed of Alpha’s sword storm began to slow. Apart from the rotating metallic sword blades, the originally violent tornado gradually disappeared.
“Using the explosion to change the surrounding air pressure and thereby disrupting the structure of the tornado?”
Seeing that the Husky actually used this method to break the sword storm, Bai Qi spontaneously gave it a thumbs-up.
Science is the primary productive force. This statement isn’t wrong. Even using scientific methods to crack magical skills, this operation was full marks!
“But where the hell is he hiding?”
Due to the tornado being neutralized by the explosion, the power of the sword storm was halved, and some of Schuck and Beta’s attacks hit Alpha.
However, Alpha was still under the tyranny of the storm of sword blades and didn’t sustain any damage. Instead, it slowly changed its shape, gradually turning into a spinning top filled with blades, chopping all the self-exploding wolves attempting to pounce to shreds.
Subsequently, the spinning top that Alpha transformed into accelerated again, quickly circling around the battlefield, destroying all the surrounding large cannons. Another massive explosion was set off in the arena, even blasting the ground beneath into nothingness, revealing the metal floor beneath.
Comparatively, Alpha stood unscathed like the God of War himself, bathing in this torrent of Thunder Flame Power.
In the initial face-off of the Twin Pets, Alpha clearly had the upper hand.
Just then, a figure slowly emerged from the metal behind Alpha. It was swift and silent like an agile assassin, lunging at Alpha’s back. Its sharp claws, shining intimidatingly under the sun, were startlingly noticeable.
To their surprise, it was a werewolf made entirely of metal!
After Alpha started to evolve towards the Dragon form, it was finally the Husky’s turn to level up its werewolf form.
The movements of the Husky in its werewolf form were much more agile. In the blink of an eye, its claws shimmering with red and blue energy had landed on Alpha’s back, instantly creating a crack in its solid Crystal bones.
Alpha, who was stealthily attacked, responded immediately. Countless sword blades flew back and forcibly repelled the werewolf, directly changing direction to counter-attack the werewolf.
But the werewolf had obviously predicted Alpha’s actions. A few leaps later, it distanced itself from Alpha and vanished once again into the metal plate. Ka-pow, ka-pow?
(Where did Beta and the others go? Gamma can’t sense them anymore, the whole floor is filled with their scent.)
Blub, blub.
(They should be looking for a chance to launch a surprise attack, Alpha’s frontfacing combat power is too strong.)
Ka-pow, ka-pow!
(That’s true, Alpha seems to have never lost in a head-on fight, Gamma can’t do that, I can only take a beating slowly.)
Blub, blub!
(No, no, no, you’re much stronger than me… I’ve been dragging the team down and need to start working twice as hard.)
Ka-pow, ka-pow?
(Delta, you’re not weak, Gamma feels terrible when I encounter Evil Energy Flame, you, Delta, you’re not affected at all.)
Blub, blub…
(No, no, no, you are…)
Watching the two pets outside the arena start to compete over who was weaker, Bai Qi was at a loss.
These two, one a chill foodie, the other modest and introspective, Bai Qi was skeptical about whether they would begin their fight with a debate later.
On the other hand, the other two had a very strong sense of competition, and were, in fact, competing over almost everything.
Even the current tactic of suddenly emerging from underground to launch a surprise attack, hadn’t Alpha preferred this in the past?
Mutual learning, mutual promotion, these words were meant for these two.
