The silver lightning dragons were already upon them.
But then something strange happened. When the lightning dragons were less than thirty meters from Thor, they seemed to be pulled by an irresistible force. Like rivers flowing into the sea, they flew toward Thor's right hand.
Then, like swallows flying into a man's arms, they burrowed into the golden light and disappeared.
The light in Thor's hand quickly became a ball of light. A ball of gold and silver.
Then, he abruptly pushed out his palm.
A terrifying scene unfolded. An enormous pillar of gold and silver light burst forth, more than thirty meters in diameter. In an instant, it swallowed up Thunderlord Puppet.
That wasn't all. It swept toward the other three Star Alliance mechas in the distance.
Just a moment ago, they had been evenly matched. The sudden change caught the Star Alliance off guard.
The four Divine Monarchs, having received Lan Jue's warning, reacted immediately.
Lan Qing led the way.
The God of Wisdom, the Nether King, and the Ocean Emperor all rushed out immediately.
The God of Wisdom's speed was the fastest. Nine dark green tornadoes were unleashed from all directions, heading straight for the three god-class mechas of the Star Alliance.
Hades' Hades' Hades Cannon roared. This time, it didn't need to heat up or charge up.
It was aimed at the side of the Clown's Astral Phantom.
The gold and silver pillar of light was aimed at the Clown.
If the Clown tried to dodge, he would be hit by the cannon.
The three Divine Monarchs' timing was perfect.
It was the moment Thor's gold and silver pillar of light swallowed up Thunderlord Puppet.
From that moment on, the battle between Zeus and Thunderbolt was over.
They didn't affect the outcome of the battle.
Hades and God of Wisdom flanked Thor. Neptune flew upward, Neptune's Trident in his hand.
With a brilliant blue-gold tail of flame, the long trident released a dazzling radiance. Suddenly, the radiance exploded and then disappeared.
It transformed into countless streaks of blue light that enveloped the area below.
The Four Sir Gods had completed an almost perfect cooperation in an instant.
On the other side of the battlefield, Starlord included.
The three god-class mechas of the Star Alliance were caught off guard.
The Netherking Cannon's opponent was the Star Phantom.
Although the clown's reaction was a little slow, his hand speed was fast enough. He instantly created a lightning clone in an attempt to dodge the gold and silver pillar of light.
However, the Netherworld King Cannon had already arrived.
With Esper abilities, the mech's original abilities were completely different.
The clown had understood this point, but at this critical moment, he suddenly changed his mind.
In the end, he still made a judgment based on the original situation.
Even though the doppelganger had managed to evade as much as he could, the Netherking Cannon still managed to graze his body, sending him flying through the air.
A dark green whirlwind wrapped around the Astral Phantom's body and flung it downwards, as if it had been there all along.
It directly smashed into the gold and silver pillar of light.
"Boom!" No one knew what kind of power that gold and silver pillar of light possessed, but another god-ranked mecha perished within it.
At long last, Void Demon King was facing off against Prometheus.
He was originally here to deal with the God of Wisdom. The whirlwind was right in front of him. Empty Demon King skillfully controlled the air. His special ability was Air Control.
By combining his Discipline with his mecha, he attempted to either absorb or control the whirlwinds.
However, when their energies collided, Silent Wind realized how naive he was.
His Control of Air was unable to control the whirlwinds, which were so condensed that they looked like solid objects.
Six whirlwinds wrapped around Demon King's body.
Then he was sent high up into the air.
All he could do was try to protect himself from being torn to shreds by the whirlwinds.
Neptune's power came crashing down from the heavens.
The boundless ocean bore down on Starlord.
Thor, controlling the tail of the gold and silver pillar of light, changed direction for the last time and headed straight for Starlord.
Starlord made his move the moment the gold and silver pillar of light came crashing down. He chose to fly diagonally upwards, his body glowing with starlight.
Countless rays of light blossomed outward, forming a protective barrier.
But.
Neptune's Boundless Ocean was upon them.
Although the Boundless Ocean couldn't penetrate the barrier, it did.
Starlord's speed was reduced by a great deal.
Stargod's Blade transformed into a dazzling line of starlight that cut through the Boundless Ocean.
But it was only a brief moment.
Three figures were closing in on Starlord from three different directions.
In the blink of an eye, Starlord's movements were completely suppressed. Starlord's body froze, and in the end, it was swept away by the gold and silver beam.
Boom--! The starlight exploded in the sky, scattering in all directions. It was as if the Milky Way had exploded and transformed into countless stars. It was a dazzling sight to behold.
But at this moment, not a single person in the audience felt the least bit of appreciation.
They could only feel one thing: suffocation!
Starlord, the strongest under the stars, had exploded!
This, this should be his first failure!
Starlord had lost!
Not just the audience.
Even the Four Divine Monarchs couldn't help but feel sluggish after Starlord's death.
Starlord had just announced his retirement, and now he had lost this match. Not only were they not happy about this victory, but they felt a weight in their hearts, a sense of loss for a hero past his prime.
What's more, in the last moments of their clash, they could sense that Starlord hadn't used any of his Discipline to fuse with his mecha.
In other words, the man who had once ruled DreamNet, the strongest under the stars, didn't have a particularly strong Discipline. He relied on other aspects to become a God-ranked pilot.
Demon King dropped to the ground in a whirlwind. There was no longer any suspense in this match.
The Four Divine Monarchs had won!
The final score was now two to one.
But for a few minutes, the entire DreamNet was in a state of silence.
If there had been any doubt that Starlord's declaration was based on his two victories, then that doubt had been erased.
A man who couldn't use his Discipline, after two victories, had announced that he would be using his Discipline in the following matches.
That in itself explained everything.
He could have waited until after this match to announce his retirement, and then asked DreamNet to evolve.
Given his position in DreamNet, he could have done so.
But he didn't. He didn't do so. He chose to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. He wanted to use his own defeat to test DreamNet's new evolution.
This was a spirit that surpassed many, many, many more.
