"Yes, it's me.
Are you busy? "Even Lan Jue's voice had grown colder.
"Not right now?" Lan Qing asked.
"I'm with Ah Cheng and Huali," Lan Jue said. "We're in Dreamburg. Do you want to come over? We can practice our teamwork.
The god-team battles start in half a month. "
Lan Qing was silent for a moment. "Alright. Wait for me at the arena's entrance."
"Alright," Lan Jue said.
Hanging up, Lan Jue saw Chu Cheng and Huali's Hades and Neptune staring at her with wide eyes.
"What are you doing?" Lan Jue asked.
Chu Cheng heaved a long sigh. "This world is so unfair!
Why is the boss so gentle with you?
He's like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves! "
Lan Jue laughed. "Oh come on. You know what the boss is like. That's the kind of person he is. He's always careful.
Right, I recorded what you just said. The boss is a little two-faced, you know that? "
Chu Cheng ground his teeth. "Ah Jue, do you want me dead?"
"Yes!"
The three of them bickered as they made their way to the arena.
Along the way, they came across a few other god-class mecha pilots. However, when they saw the three of them walking side by side, they all took the initiative to step aside and make way for them.
After all, DreamNet was a world where the strong were respected.
Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. Who wouldn't recognize these three Divine Monarchs with their masks on?
The god team battles were about to begin, but even a second before they were about to begin, they still had to be prepared.
They were still number one on the god-team leaderboards.
Soon.
The three of them made their way to the arena.
They waited patiently at the entrance.
It wasn't long before a figure approached from the distance.
Black cloak, black mask, deep green armor. When he appeared, it was as if all the light in DreamNet had dimmed.
"You're all here." He stopped in front of Lan Jue and the others.
Chu Cheng chuckled. "Long time no see, boss.
How have you been? "
Lan Qing, also known as Prometheus in DreamNet, nodded. His eyes fell on Lan Jue. "Tell me about Taihua in a bit."
"Alright." Lan Jue nodded.
Lan Qing glanced at the time on his wrist. "I have a meeting in an hour. Let's go." With that, he led the way into the arena.
Lan Jue and the others followed close behind.
As soon as the four of them disappeared from the arena, a few god-ranked mecha operators nearby began to whisper amongst themselves.
"That's Prometheus, isn't it?
How rare! "
"Yes.
It has to be him.
Who else but Prometheus could walk so casually in front of three Divine Monarchs?
What are they up to? "
"The god-team battles are about to begin.
I'm guessing they're practicing their teamwork. "
"Very likely.
It's a shame their practice isn't open to the public.
Otherwise.
No matter how much it costs, I'm going to watch. "
"Don't worry, we'll see when the god-team battles begin."
With Lan Qing in the lead, the four Divine Monarchs entered the arena.
He chose an arena and entered it.
Lan Qing was always direct and efficient.
There was a flash of light, and the four of them appeared in the arena.
This time, however, it wasn't their true bodies that appeared. Instead, four giant mechas stood tall and proud atop the arena.
Prometheus's God of Wisdom, Hades's Hades' Hades, Zeus's Thor, and Poseidon's Neptune.
Hades was a deep red, Thor a deep blue, Poseidon a sky-blue, and Prometheus a deep green.
The four god-ranked mechas stood together. From the outside, they didn't look much different, but their styles were different.
Still, they pulsed with a powerful energy.
"How are we going to fight?" Lan Jue asked.
Chu Cheng was quick to respond. "I'll go with the boss, you go with Ali. Two against two, fair and square!"
Huali didn't say anything, but Lan Jue's irritation was piqued. "Why are you on the boss's team?
We brothers should be on the same team, and you and Ali should be on the same team. "
Lan Qing said calmly, "Alright, don't waste time. The three of you can come at me together."
Chu Cheng's Hades turned to look at the God of Wisdom. "Boss, are you serious?"
The God of Wisdom's eyes seemed to shoot out two beams of light as he looked at Hades.
Hades quickly jumped back and stood next to Neptune, allowing Thor to take the lead.
"Ah Jue, go!
You take the lead, Ali and I will back you up! "
Lan Jue sat in the simulation pod, his eyes narrowed. The blood in his body began to boil.
"Boss, you're looking down on us!" Lan Jue said in a low voice.
Lan Qing said calmly, "If you hadn't been crippled for three years, you might have the right to say that to me."
Chu Cheng squealed. "Boss, you really don't give us any face!
Ah Jue, I'm not the type to pick a fight. If I were you, I wouldn't be able to stand it!
Ah, if I could beat the boss up, even in DreamNet, it would be a wonderful thing. "
Lan Jue took a deep breath. Thor's body shrank back a little. "Come on!"
The God of Wisdom lifted his head. His eyes blazed with a piercing green light, and in the next moment he made his move.
The green light flickered, becoming a blur of light that shot straight for Thor.
Thor made his move at the same time. Lightning crackled around him. This wasn't a Discipline, but Thor was a god-ranked mecha with an affinity for lightning.
He didn't dodge, but met the attack head-on.
Lan Jue had absolute confidence in Thor's ability to fight head-on!
Of their four god-ranked mechas, his Thor and Chu Cheng's Hades were the best at direct combat. Huali's Neptune was the best at crowd control, and Lan Qing's God of Wisdom was a well-rounded mecha. But that didn't mean it was the strongest in any one area.
So Lan Jue didn't hesitate to use his advantage to meet the attack head-on.
Both sides were too fast, to the point that neither the God of Wisdom nor the God of Thunder could release their weapons in time.
Just as the two sides were about to collide, Thor's body flared with electricity. In the blink of an eye, his body became illusory. Thor transformed into a giant ball of light that shot straight for the God of Wisdom. Thor, however, appeared five meters behind.
This was the special use of the Lightning Doppelganger. Hidden attacks!
The Netherworld King and the Sea Emperor's reactions weren't slow either. When the God of Thunder and the God of Wisdom made their move, they also flanked them from both sides.
Chu Cheng might sound weak, but when it came to actual combat, Hades' body glowed with dark red light. Because he wasn't the first to bear the brunt of the attack, when he rushed forward, Hades had already pulled out a dark red longsword. His body and sword became one, and he pounced on the God of Wisdom from the side.
On the other side, Neptune's body glowed with blue light. A crystal-clear blue ball of light was released, and it turned into a blue light that shot towards the God of Wisdom.
Even though it had been a long time since they had fought together, the three of them were able to cooperate incisively and tacitly in that instant.
But just as their attacks were about to lock on to the God of Wisdom …
Suddenly, the God of Wisdom's body shook.
The dark green light suddenly split into three, and they went for Thor, Hades, and Neptune.
"Three Lightning Doppelgangers?"
Whether it was Lan Jue, Chu Cheng, or Huali, they all felt as if they had been electrocuted. The three of them shouted in unison in their respective simulators.
If the Lightning Doppelganger was a godly technique in the eyes of the average mecha pilot, then in the eyes of God-ranked mecha pilots, the Three Lightning Doppelganger was a godly technique that they could only look up to.
In the history of mecha pilots, not many had used the Three Lightning Doppelganger. Even if they did manage to use it, it was very difficult for it to be used in actual combat.
The Three Lightning Doppelganger's most basic requirement was to have a hand speed of one hundred moves. One hundred moves!
One hundred moves per second!
At the same time, the mecha itself had to be at least God-ranked, and it needed to be paired with an S-rank power gem that increased speed.
Lan Jue, Chu Cheng, and Huali were all God-ranked mecha pilots, so they knew the difficulty of the Three Lightning Doppelganger.
They all knew that the true Three Lightning Doppelganger couldn't be fully used even with a hand speed of one hundred moves. If they wanted to use it perfectly, they would need a hand speed of one hundred and twenty moves.
But now, all the God-ranked mecha pilots in the Three Major League combined couldn't reach such a terrifying hand speed.
So when the Three Lightning Doppelganger was used by Lan Qing's God of Wisdom, the three of them couldn't help but stare blankly.
What was going on?
Their emotions were affected, and their mecha control was affected as well.
Thor paused in the air, but the attack from his front had already collided with the God of Wisdom's central doppelganger.
To Lan Jue's surprise, the dark green figure turned into a halo of light and disappeared. It wasn't a physical body!
No, this wasn't the true Three Lightning Doppelganger!
Lan Jue immediately came to this conclusion.
If this was the true Three Lightning Doppelganger, then each doppelganger would be able to fight. That would be terrifying.
It would be the equivalent of a God-ranked mecha splitting into three to fight.
On the other hand, what Lan Jue was facing was only an afterimage. Of course, it wasn't the true Three Lightning Doppelganger.
On the other side, Huali's light barrier around the God of Wisdom naturally fell into the air. At the same time, because of the God of Wisdom's doppelganger pouncing on him, he hurriedly put up an energy barrier to defend himself.
But when the God of Wisdom pounced on his energy barrier, it also turned into a halo of light.
Fake?
It was also fake!
