Starlord had been forced to retreat?
Was this the power of a mecha suit and a Discipline?
Just as everyone was beginning to mourn for Starlord, the retreating Starlord suddenly thrust his Stargod Sword in front of him.
A strange scene unfolded. Thor swayed in the air, as though he had lost his center of gravity.
Immediately after, a huge bubble enveloped Thor's body, protecting him within.
Neptune had made his move from behind.
Neptune pressed a hand to Thor's shoulder, and in the blink of an eye, he was already behind him. His trident spun like a tidal wave toward Starlord.
Starlord flicked his sword upward, and the tip of the blade glowed with starlight. Neptune, too, swayed. Just like Thor, he too had lost his center of gravity.
Starlord's line of starlight blossomed in that instant, suppressing Thor and Neptune, forcing them to retreat.
Starlord was, after all, Starlord!
Lan Jue and Huali were taken aback. Thor and Neptune wouldn't have swayed for no reason.
The reason they had lost their center of gravity was because Starlord's sword had pointed out the exact location of their next target.
They hadn't even made a move yet, but their opponent had already determined where they were going. Even as God-ranked pilots, they couldn't help but lose their rhythm.
Thor's indomitable momentum was shattered.
Foresight?
How could he do this?
Unless, it wasn't that he didn't have a special ability, and his special ability itself was to predict the enemy's moves?
Starlord's attack was blocked by Thor and Neptune's shields.
Starlord's sword didn't pause for even a moment. More powerful attacks came pouring in.
But at this moment, the audience realized something.
Starlord's attacks were swift and fierce.
But they couldn't hurt Thor or Neptune.
The reason was simple.
Unable to break his defense!
From a mecha perspective, Starlord was once the strongest mecha in existence. Of course it was stronger than Thor and Neptune. But with the addition of their Disciplines, things had changed.
Starlord's attacks were exactly the same as they had been in the previous matches, but Thor and Neptune were much stronger now that they had combined their Disciplines.
As a result, Starlord had the upper hand in terms of tactics and technique.
However, the level of the mechas and the variations in their abilities made it impossible for him to breach the defenses of the two divine-grade mechas.
This was the difference between having an ability and not having one. This was also why it was said that a true God-ranked pilot had to be a powerful ability user.
The combination of the two would definitely complement each other.
Thor, who was retreating, raised the Thor Lightning Spear in his hand. In an instant, tens of thousands of lightning bolts shot out, transforming into huge lightning pillars that fanned out with his body as the center.
Forest of Thunder and Lightning!
The Stargod Blade's light collided with the bolts of lightning. Both were annihilated. But under these circumstances.
Thor and Neptune had also stabilized themselves.
They were both God-ranked pilots and ninth level Adepts.
Their control of the battlefield was simply too strong.
Without hesitation, the two of them used their Disciplines to activate their mechas and launch a wide range attack.
In an instant, golden lightning and blue waves occupied the entire battlefield.
Starlord's skills were strong, but in this situation he was unable to bring them to bear. Under the pressure of the two combatants, he was forced to retreat.
The audience was silent. Many of the older members of the audience had closed their eyes in anguish.
They all knew that DreamNet's progress was accompanied by the fall of a legendary figure.
But they didn't want to see this happen!
Did Starlord, once the strongest under the stars, really have to leave DreamNet like this?
No one wanted to see this happen.
Finally …
"Boom--!" Starlord's mecha and Thor's Discipline combined with Poseidon's, and Starlord's, imploded.
"No!" Countless people in the audience shouted.
But that didn't change the result.
Starlord's death was the end of the match.
Thor and Neptune's advance had attracted the attention of the other members of the Star Alliance. In the end, the two sides fought in the center of the arena.
The Four Divine Monarchs paid the price of Neptune and Hades' deaths. But in the end, they were able to capture the enemy's main camp and claim victory in the fourth round.
Mo Xiao didn't continue her commentary. She remained silent throughout the match. When it was over, both sides were silent as well.
If there were people who didn't fully understand what was going to happen in the first round, then after this one everyone understood.
Starlord, once the strongest member of the Star Alliance, had become the weakest.
At this point, there was no longer any suspense. Prometheus, the God of Wisdom, would not give the Star Alliance a chance.
No matter how many more rounds were played, the result would not change.
Just then, Mo Xiao received a message. After reading it, her stiff face broke into a smile.
"I'm sorry, I've been quiet for too long.
After watching the last round, I was really depressed.
Although this is something that is bound to happen as time goes on, none of us wanted it to happen!
But just now, I received a message from the Four Divine Monarchs.
They've admitted defeat in the fifth round.
Therefore, today's god-team battles will be won by the Star Alliance!
Starlord didn't lose. He left DreamNet with the final victory of his life.
Everyone has already paid for the analysis, and DreamNet will refund a third of it. "
Once again, the audience erupted into a frenzy.
The Four Divine Monarchs' decision to concede was a sign of respect. Respect for Starlord.
This caused the suppressed emotions of the audience to finally explode.
Countless flowers and props flooded the audience. Most were for Starlord, but a few were for the Four Divine Monarchs.
There were no losers in this god-team battle.
DreamNet's evolution had left many of the weaker Adepts feeling lonely and desolate.
They felt the same way as Starlord, but it also meant more Adepts would rise to prominence.
After all, the combination of Discipline and mecha was a more realistic battlefield.
DreamNet then announced that after the evolution, there would still be areas where Adepts could not be used. These areas would be reserved for those who didn't specialize in Discipline. Starlord would remain on the General Combat Strength Leaderboard for the tenth year.
This series of changes was DreamNet's response to what was happening.
The results were excellent. At the very least, the negative side effects of the upgrade were minimized.
"Boss." Zeus called out to Prometheus.
Prometheus's eyes were desolate. "What is it?"
Lan Jue's voice was low. "There's something I need to discuss with you."
"Alright.
Let's talk on our private channel. "
Lan Qing opened up a private channel within Dreamburg. This was a God-ranked communication channel that could not be eavesdropped. It was the safest way to communicate.
The conversation between the two did not last too long. The Nether King and the Sea Emperor waited at the side.
They were both in a bad mood.
Even though they were clearly able to win this match, this victory did not make them happy.
Without DreamNet's evolution, they knew they wouldn't have won.
If Starlord had been an Adept, the result would have been the same.
After a long time, the private channel ended. Prometheus turned to Zeus and nodded. "That's all for now. I'll be leaving."
Right at this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded, "The four of you, may I have a chat with you?"
The Four Divine Monarchs were shocked to hear this voice. It was the voice of the strongest in the universe!
A host of silhouettes appeared before them. Leading them was Starlord.
At his side were Thunderclap, Thunderclap, Starry Phantom, Yu Honghu, and Demon King Serenity of Wind.
All five of the Star Alliance's strongest were present.
Starlord Deimos stood tall and straight as ever. He slowly approached the four of them.
Lan Qing stopped in his tracks. He couldn't leave now. He wanted to hear what Deimos had to say.
Even with his intellect, he didn't fully understand what was going on today.
If he wanted to retire, or for DreamNet to evolve, there should have been better options. But Deimos had chosen this path.
Deimos waved his hand, and suddenly the stars around him began to twinkle. Balls of starlight lit up, forming lines of light that illuminated everything around them. Before long, a room of starlight appeared, enveloping all nine of them.
"This is …" Huali gasped.
"Discipline!" Lan Jue's eyes narrowed. This was not DreamNet's Discipline. It was Deimos' Discipline. Deimos' Discipline.
The energy fluctuations were as deep as the abyss. It could only be described as terrifying!
It wasn't as if he didn't have a Discipline!
But why hadn't he used it in the previous matches?
"What is the meaning of this, Your Excellency?" Lan Qing's voice was cold.
Deimos waved his hand dismissively. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to look down on you, nor did I make any concessions.
During the competition, my ability couldn't be used because I couldn't completely control him now.
Alright, it's safe to speak here. I have something to say to you. "
The Four Divine Monarchs didn't understand. But they had a feeling that Deimos' words were trustworthy. There wasn't a hint of falsehood in them.
But what did he want to say?
Starlord Deimos lifted his hand and tore off his mask!
