At this point, the battle had finally come to a temporary halt.
On the Star Alliance's side, only Deimos remained. The Four Divine Monarchs were left with Zeus, with Thor, and Poseidon, with Neptune.
Both sides fell into a momentary standstill. The series of clashes just now had been nothing short of spectacular.
Even to the untrained eye, it was dazzling. Everything had happened in the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint.
DreamNet had a special feature called 'Match Analysis Download'.
There was a fee for this feature. Users could download a detailed analysis of the match, including a slow-motion analysis.
The fee for this god-team match was ten times the normal price. The official explanation was that in order to get a detailed analysis of DreamNet's god-team matches, they would have to hire a large number of God-ranked pilots to analyze the details. It was a huge expense.
Before the start of the competition, due to the high prices, only about a million people had made reservations to buy the analysis videos of all five competitions.
If the minimum number was three, the money would be refunded.
At this moment, the number of one million had soared to more than seven million. At the same time, about twenty million people had chosen to buy the analysis video of this match.
That was an astronomical figure.
The one-armed Deimos stared silently at Neptune and Thor.
Although the battlefield seemed to be very calm, all the spectators felt like a storm was about to arrive.
It was as though their blood had turned to gasoline, ready to ignite at any moment.
Then, Thor made his move!
Lan Jue's heart was as calm as still water. But if anyone could see him in the sim pod …
His eyes were already filled with lightning, and a powerful aura was bursting out like a geyser.
Four against five, in a situation where the opponent was so strong, Prometheus had sacrificed himself to bring them a huge opportunity.
How could their fighting spirit not be ignited?
Thor's flight appeared to be in a straight line.
But it gave off a distorted feeling, as though it were swaying gently in the air. It was impossible to follow.
The Spear of the Thunder God in his hand had already disappeared.
No one knew when it would appear again.
As Thor moved, Neptune moved as well. It followed behind Thor.
Like a shadow, Neptune moved as Thor moved.
At this moment, it was as if they had fused into one.
It was like a mech.
Thor and Neptune were once named the best partners in Dreamland.
In DreamNet, there were two mecha duels.
But after arriving at Dreamcity, god-ranked mecha pilots rarely engaged in such confrontations.
But no one would deny the tacit understanding between them.
Some of the spectators who knew them suddenly came to a realization. In this battle, only Thor and Neptune were left. It didn't seem to be a coincidence. It was all planned!
This was the design of the God of Wisdom, Prometheus!
Starlord made his move as well. The Stargod Sword in his hand slashed out at his own side, seemingly out of nowhere.
At the same time, his body became illusory.
Just as the spectators were wondering what was going on …
A thunderous explosion filled the air.
A huge blue ball of light suddenly exploded in the air without any warning.
The glaring blue light with a strange distorted halo covered a large area.
Starlord's sudden movement allowed him to avoid that area. Starlord's Stargod Sword pierced through the blue ball of light, leaving a dent in its wake.
He was able to protect himself from the impact.
"That's … Thor's Hammer!" Mo Xiao gasped.
"Thor is making his move.
Good heavens!
Is this the legendary Mjolnir of the Thunder God? "
Every god-ranked mecha had their own powerful abilities. Some were hidden.
For example, the mecha's sudden burst of speed and power.
But there were also some that were visible, such as Hades' Robe.
Thor also had his own ultimate moves. Aside from a few maneuvers, he also had a few powerful attacks.
For example: Thor's Hammer.
Any DreamNet player who had tried to understand Thor would know of Thor's Hammer.
But the number of people who had actually seen Thor's Hammer was infinitesimally close to zero.
That was because the matches were never open to the public.
Even those who had fought Zeus would find it difficult to tell what sort of attack Thor's Hammer was.
All they knew was that the moment Thor's Hammer was activated, their screens went black.
Mecha analysts were able to determine that Thor's Hammer was a skill that could only be used in DreamNet. Mechas in the real world couldn't create such an attack.
The effect of its attack was not only able to instantly generate a powerful attack power, but it would also explode with a terrifying interference current, causing any electronic equipment struck by it, including but not limited to mecha, to instantly short-circuit. No repair program would be able to remove the interference current within three seconds.
In a battle between masters, three seconds was enough to determine victory or defeat.
Was Zeus finally going to use Thor's Hammer?
In front of an audience of ten billion!
Thor's Hammer was invisible and formless. There was no way to predict its use.
But how was Starlord able to deduce that?
In the same instant that Starlord unleashed his attack, Thor's body began to glow with a brilliant violet light. In the blink of an eye, Thor was right in front of Starlord. A blinding blue light erupted from it, transforming into a twenty-meter long trident. It was aimed straight for Starlord's head.
This was the only way for Starlord to avoid Thor's Hammer.
What Starlord couldn't see was that Thor wasn't the only one attacking. Neptune was also involved.
Neptune had latched onto Thor's body as he moved. The two mechas were superimposed on each other, their metallic components quietly joining together. Thor's arm was the same as Neptune's arm.
Starlord's reaction was quick. His body flickered, and he spun around. Using his Stargod Sword, he slashed at the trident's blue light.
Suddenly, the Stargod Sword slowed down.
The moment it slashed into the blue light, it felt as if it had sunk into a swamp.
Starlord didn't panic. His wrist trembled slightly, and suddenly the Stargod Sword burst forth with a thousand beams of light. It was as if it had split into countless parts. At the same time, the sword exploded with starlight, ready to break Thor's attack.
But at this moment, a strange scene occurred. The blue light in the form of the trident suddenly shook, as if it had stiffened. The original trident light suddenly split into two.
One part was blue, and the other part was purple with lightning coiling around it.
The blue part was like a bubble, expanding outwards. As the power of the Stargod Sword exploded, it caused the weapon to veer off to the side.
But the purple light of the trident struck the Stargod Sword head-on.
Starlord's main body.
Crack! A thunderous rumble filled the air.
Starlord's entire body was covered in purple electricity, and he was visibly frozen.
A beam of golden light shot out from beneath Thor's armpit. It was like a viper's forked tongue, stabbing toward Starlord's chest.
Not only that, but Thor's hands suddenly swung up.
A massive dark blue warhammer appeared out of thin air. It left a trail of brilliant blue light in its wake as it came crashing down toward Starlord's head.
Even the Clown, Thunderclap, Yu Honghu, and Demon King Windstorm, who had already withdrawn from the fight, couldn't help but be aghast at what was happening.
At their level, the first thing they thought about when faced with a powerful mecha was whether or not they could withstand it.
At this moment, the answer they gave was clearly no.
How could Thor and Neptune work so well together?
Of course, they could also see that this sort of all-out attack consumed a great deal of energy. Still, the chances of a God-ranked mecha being equipped with an S-ranked power gem were high. If they did, then the energy consumption would be negligible.
Just then, the image of a six-pointed star appeared on Starlord's chest. It shrouded the mecha in a golden light.
Thor's spear was deflected by the golden light, and then the hexagram on Starlord's chest exploded into smithereens.
Suddenly, a layer of golden light spread out from Starlord's body. Countless beams of starlight sprang up, forming a web of interconnected starry chains that blocked Thor's hammer.
Boom!
The entire battlefield seemed to dim for a moment. Blinding violet and golden light formed into a magnificent orb of light that enveloped all three God-ranked mechas.
Mo Xiao, the commentator, sighed. "Deimos is far from his best form, after all.
I've seen many of his videos. If he were at his best, he wouldn't have allowed himself to be caught in such a passive situation.
His reflexes, judgment, and control are not as good as before.
Only his consciousness remains.
This time, I'm afraid … "
She trailed off, before the electronic voice could be heard. "Star Alliance, victory!"
The orb of light at the heart of the collision began to fade away, along with Thor and Neptune.
Starlord's body was wreathed in electric sparks. He looked battered, and the Stargod Sword in his hand was gone.
As the fight ended, mecha damage rates began to rise. Starlord's was eighty-three percent damaged. But in the end, he was the one to hold out.
Boom--! The entire audience erupted into a frenzy.
The number of people buying the analysis videos skyrocketed.
