The venue of the Dispute was a soccer field next to the Holy Ghost Stadium.
This was different from the Holy Ghost Stadium. The venue of the Holy Ghost Stadium was off-limits to outsiders. Fans of any team were considered outsiders.
However, the venue of the Dispute was different. The officials of the Dispute had organized this conference as an unofficial All Star Match, which resulted in the stadium being filled to the brim.
However, rather than calling it an All-Star Match, it would be better to call it an All-Star Advertising Competition. It was very obvious that there would be advertisements in the competition.
Jiang Qiao was dragged to the spectator seats by his own father. He was busy watching a race projected by a holographic projection. The contestants in this race were the members of Jumping Nuclei.
As the champion team, their popularity in Hua Nation was unrivaled. Therefore, when the audience saw them appear, their cheers were so loud that it made Jiang Qiao deaf.
But in the next second, the audience's cheers came to an abrupt end, as if they had been strangled. That was because the contestants on the stage had suddenly disappeared.
No … they didn't disappear, but …
[Jumping Nuclei, Black Wok Boiled Meat has quit the game]
[Jumping Nuclei, Sleepless Tonight has quit the game]
[Jumping Nuclei, Mommy Barking Dog has quit the game]
[Jumping Nuclei, Yu Zhongqu has quit the game]
… …
A series of exit notifications reverberated in the air above the stadium. These notifications were even broadcasted by the in-game audio system.
"This … there seems to be a problem with the contestants' equipment. Please wait a moment …" The commentator tried to alleviate the awkwardness of the situation. However, after receiving some sort of notification, he hurriedly said, "The contestants from The Sovereign Descends are about to enter the field!"
Where's the contestant from Jumping Nuclei?
The spectators were extremely confused when they heard the commentator's sudden change of words. If there was a problem with the equipment, then where did the contestants go?
If the contestants from The Sovereign Descends were able to enter the field, then it meant that there was no problem with the equipment, right?
However, after about twenty seconds, the spectators' confusion became …
Where's the contestant from The Sovereign Descends?
Where did the contestants go?
Jiang Qiao actually wanted to ask where the players from The Sovereign Descends had gone, but when he saw that Zhao Mingwei was currently in the Strife Guild Hall, Jiang Qiao immediately understood where the players from The Sovereign Descends were.
"Xiao Wan, Xiao Wan … Let's slip away and play games." Jiang Qiao whispered to Wan Xiang behind him.
"Alright!"
Night Fragrance nodded. She had wanted to leave for a long time. Night Fragrance was one of the rare players who had never played Strife before, so she wasn't really interested in the All-Star commercial.
Thus, Jiang Qiao sneaked away with Wanxiang right under his father's nose.
On the other side of the tunnel for The Sovereign Descends.
Recently, the atmosphere in Monarch Descends' team had been extremely tense. It was as if the entire team had fallen apart. There was no cohesiveness to speak of.
Qi Junzi had been trying to encourage the older members to look towards the bright side, but the team's trump card, Feng Yi, had already defected to Leaping Nuclei. The Sovereign Descends' skill level had dropped from being a first-rate team in China to a second-rate team.
Team spirit … Qi Junzi had always thought that this was a mysterious thing, but now he understood that this thing really existed.
There was only one team spirit for The Sovereign Descends … and that was Zhao Mingwei!
Without Zhao Mingwei, The Sovereign Descends was a completely different team.
Last season, Feng Yi had relied on his extremely high skill level to carry The Sovereign Descends into the World Competition. Now that Feng Yi had left, what was left of The Sovereign Descends?
The only player left in the team was Qi Junzi, who could still be considered as a first-rate player.
Qi Junzi sat alone on a deserted platform, thinking about the future of The Sovereign Descends. When she heard the announcer calling for The Sovereign Descends to go onstage, she subconsciously wanted to stand up and wipe away her tears, preparing to continue meeting the team members.
But a figure was already standing behind her.
"Why are you here?" Qi Junzi recognized the figure. It was Zhao Mingwei.
"I need your help," Zhao Mingwei said, looking at Qi Junzi.
Zhao Mingwei said, looking at Qi Junzi. Qi Junzi glanced behind Zhao Mingwei. Lin Xi, who was on good terms with Zhao Mingwei, was awkwardly waving at her.
"Holy Spirit?" Qi Junzi asked.
"Yeah."
Zhao Mingwei was trying to gather as many professional players as possible. He didn't know how strong the Annihilation Legion was. Just like Mo Shigui, he had the same idea.
Even a 1% chance of victory was good!
"Okay!" Qi Junzi didn't think too much about it.
She didn't mind that she had begged Zhao Mingwei to come back and fight in the World Competition again, but Zhao Mingwei had refused. Qi Junzi now understood that even with Zhao Mingwei leading the team, The Sovereign Descends wouldn't be able to win the World Championship.
Many things would change. The Sovereign Descends was no longer the Sovereign Descends of the past. Qi Junzi had also found a new goal!
… …
Marriage. Wedding.
To be honest, Remnant Cloud hadn't thought about these things before today. Even when he was the main character of the wedding, he still felt that it was very, very surreal.
His feelings for Madam Calamity were still at the stage of liking her. It was like first love. No!
It was first love!
Remnant Cloud's view of love was still at the stage of chuunibyou. When he saw Madam Calamity standing at the end of the flower path, he wanted to protect her for the rest of her life.
However, the cruelty of reality would often separate them. But … this wasn't reality, this was a game!
He slowly walked up to Madam Calamity. Under the gaze of an unknown goddess, he stared at Madam Calamity.
"I can see the confusion and fear in your eyes," Madam Calamity whispered to Remnant Cloud.
Madam Calamity whispered to Juan Can Yun, "Marrying a woman you've only known for three months isn't normal in the eyes of Sacred Spirits, is it?
It feels very surreal. "
I'm afraid?
When Remnant Cloud heard Madam Calamity's words, he felt that Madam Calamity was the one who was afraid …
"I'm not …" Remnant Cloud said softly.
"I'm serious!
I've talked to your mother, and she still thinks of this wedding as a game. But it's not a bad idea. We can still spend a lot of time together. This time, I'm proposing to you in the game. When the time is right, I hope you can propose to me in real life, "Madam Calamity said.
"I …" Swirling Scattered Clouds could still hear the inferiority in Madam Calamity's voice.
"Master of the ceremony, you can start now," Lady Calamity interrupted Juan Remnant Cloud and spoke to the master of the wedding.
Drake was the master of ceremonies for the wedding. He was in the same generation as Madam Calamity's father, and he was a comrade who had gone through thick and thin with Madam Calamity's father, so he was more than qualified to be the master of ceremonies.
"Let me see. I wanted to conduct this wedding according to the Pirate Code, but polygamy in the Pirate Code is clearly against the rules of the Holy Spirit. So, I will conduct your marriage according to the Code of the Holy Spirit."
Drake cleared his throat and said in a dignified manner.
"Holy Spirit Swirling Scattered Clouds, your name in real life is Mr. Tang Wen. Are you willing to marry the girl in front of you, Merlores Shonarion, and promise that in this life, you will always …" Before Drake could finish his vows …
A large number of cracks suddenly appeared in the clear sky. The sky shattered like glass, and the ear-piercing sound of space shattering completely interrupted Drake's vows.
"Damn it!
Why are the Annihilation Army here at this time? "
Drake closed the Holy Spirit Codex in his hand, and the pirates below him instantly prepared for battle.
"Looks like the wedding will have to be delayed!"
Madam Calamity wanted to take out her gun and enter the battlefield, but Swirling Scattered Clouds held onto Madam Calamity's hand, which was more like escaping than entering the battlefield.
"Mr. Drake!
Please continue! "Swirling Remnant Cloud said to Drake.
As soon as he finished speaking, a flaming notification popped up in front of Swirling Scattered Clouds' eyes.
[The Abyss Hunt has begun!
Strong people!
Participate in the Abyss Hunt and accept the challenge!
]
"Are you crazy?
The Annihilation Army has joined forces with the Creator's Sanctum to kill us. How can we be in the mood to get married now? "Drake said.
"Continue."
Swirling Scattered Clouds was like a stubborn child as he held onto Madam Calamity's hand tightly. He saw the fear in the depths of her eyes as he spoke.
Swirling Scattered Clouds could sense Madam Calamity's inferiority complex. In the depths of this King of Marauders' heart, she actually knew that she was a wanted criminal on the star map, and that Madam Calamity's father had died under the pursuit of the Creator's Sanctum.
How could Plane Pirates have a stable life?
Everyone was just a vagrant on the star map, facing the threat of death every day.
But Swirling Scattered Clouds lived a very stable life. His mother and father were just ordinary people. Rosh's appearance had already reminded Madam Calamity that if Swirling Scattered Clouds married her, then his entire family would be dragged into this bloody flood.
Madam Calamity was an absolute egoist in the past. She wanted the treasure that was Swirling Scattered Clouds, and didn't care about the safety of his parents.
But it was different now!
The Annihilation Army and the Creator's Sanctum were close at hand. This place was about to become a battlefield!
"Let's chase those annoying guys away first, or else it'll be very dangerous," Madam Calamity said to Swirling Scattered Clouds as if she was trying to comfort him.
"I'll protect you!"
Swirling Scattered Clouds repeated the words he had said to Madam Calamity countless times before. He held onto Madam Calamity's hand tightly, preventing her from leaving the wedding venue.
Drake, on the other hand, seemed a little impatient.
"Kid, do you know how troublesome it is for the Annihilation Army and the Creator's Sanctum to work together?" Drake yelled.
"We don't know if Little Wen knows, but we don't really know. Those guys are just elite monsters in our eyes."
The sound of meat being cooked in a black pot suddenly reached the wedding venue. The contestants from Jumping Core had finally managed to log into their accounts before the Annihilation Army arrived.
Swirling Scattered Clouds looked at the groomsmen formed by his seniors … Mo Shigui walked out from the crowd and shouted at Drake.
"Continue with the wedding!
Leave the Annihilation Army to us. "
"That's right!
Leave the Annihilation Army to us. "
Drake wanted to retort, but his vision of the wedding hall extended beyond the football field. He saw a bunch of Holy Spirits sharpening their weapons outside the wedding hall, waiting for the Annihilation Army to arrive.
The sound of various buffs being activated echoed outside the wedding hall, as well as the Holy Spirits' earth-shattering cries of "Charge!"
"These lunatics!"
Derrick continued to take out the Holy Spirit Codex after saying this in a low voice.
"Are you willing to protect her forever, to love her, to be with her through birth, old age, sickness and death, rich or poor?" Drake asked.
"I … am willing." Swirling Scattered Clouds tightened his grip on Madam Calamity's hand.
"Then, Miss Melors, are you willing …" Drake turned around to ask Madam Calamity.
Madam Calamity had lost control of her emotions and hugged Swirling Scattered Clouds, causing him to stiffen and not know what to do.
"Recently … I've been too tired," Madam Calamity whispered into Swirling Scattered Clouds' ear.
Madam Calamity whispered into Swirling Scattered Clouds' ear. She was trying her best to hold back her tears. "Can I leave those troublesome matters to you?"
"Just … just leave them to me."
Swirling Scattered Clouds' voice was no longer as firm as before. He did not know where to put his hands, but he still stroked Madam Calamity's fiery red hair like he was comforting a child. "Leave them all to me."
