<h4>Chapter 1136 This Is Love</h4>
Han Xiao could not help but rub his temples. yers were the incarnation of anarchy. Even though they were already members of his own faction, they could still not be fully controlled. Although their intentions were good, what they did would always end up causing all kinds of strange things to happen.
The atmosphere of the entire forums got carried away by this topic.
After being frustrated for a while, Han Xiao suddenlyughed.
“These guys really can’t seem to stop causing problems... but this might not be a bad thing.”
He pondered for a while and suddenly realized that he did not have to stop the yers.
Not to mention that the yers weremunicating on the forums and there was no way he could use that as evidence to catch them, this was not a bad thing for building a sense of belonging for the army.
If not because the senior yers loved and cared about him, they would not try to ‘save’ him.
He did not have to operate a universal armed force like a tinker, fixing any problems that appeared. Instead, letting the yers cause some trouble during the closing ceremony would even bring the ck Star Cup more attention, and he did not even have to n anything.
The yers were led by Fly Free, who wanted to backstab him in the name of justice, but this waspletely harmless in Han Xiao’s eyes. He was happy to put on a show with them.
The ck Star Army’s public image in the universe was basically an ally of justice recognized by everyone. The people were extremely forgiving toward the army, so even if something like this happened during the ck Star Cup closing ceremony, it would not affect the army’s reputation. Instead, it would feel interesting to most people. The ck Star Army basically had the public opinion armor. Actually, Han Xiao figured out easily that he did not have to exin any rumors spreading among the yers to anyone, they were non-issues to him.
I’m the faction leader, a top warlord in the universe, and I didn’t really get swapped. If I even have to exin myself in the face of such a weird usation, it will be a joke.
The evidence of the yers’ doubts was the Character Summon Card, which actually seemed to make sense from their perspective. However, as long as they could see the big picture, this kind of suspicion would not be able to stand its ground at all. If the Mechanic Emperor really disguised himself as him, there would be way too many ws in that theory that could not be exined. For example, why did none of the other Beyond Grade As sense it? Why did the three Universal Civilizations not notice it? How could the army’s artificial intelligence, Phillip, not respond to it at all? And if he was the Mechanic Emperor, how could the Mechanic Emperor use his secondary dimension army box?
No one in the entire universe could disguise himself as another peak Beyond Grade A perfectly. Even a shapeshifter like ‘Illusory Deity’ Kant could not.
The yers did not understand what seemed likemon sense to anyone who could see the big picture, so maybe their usation would be an interesting topic for gctic residents to discuss over meals. Onlypletely clueless people would believe it. Their evidence that was on the interface was something that did not exist to ordinary people. Han Xiao knew very well that the main reason the yers believed this theory was that it was still fresh. Once the blind passion faded and they saw that everything was continuing as usual, this kind of ridiculous rumor would copse on itself.
All important people would be involved in strange and wild rumors. There was no need to exin himself, so he decided to give the yers some room for imagination.
Han Xiao’s eyes gleamed.
To the yers who only cared about the benefits of the faction, it did not matter who owned the faction. Therefore, being willing to expose the Mechanic Emperor’s ‘conspiracy’ while bearing the risk of being punished by the faction was basically a sacrificial act.
Then does it mean that the more people who take part in this mission, the more united the army is?
Furthermore, since the yers used this reason to cause trouble, the Mechanic Emperor will be the one getting the negative image here!
Having thought of that, Han Xiao smiled and summoned Phillip.
“Phillip, watch the Immortals of the army closely for some time. Report any and all situations to me.”
“Okay, hum!”
“By the way, invite the Beyond Grade As toe and watch the ceremony in my name while you’re at it. Send one to the Mechanic Emperor too.”
“Hum... Will the Mechanic Emperore?” Phillip tilted his little head with confusion.
“How would I know? Just send it to him. It’s best if hees. I’ll have a chance to provoke him again.” Han Xiao giggled. “Alright then, hum...”
Seeing Han Xiao’s evil smile, Phillip obeyed him without asking anything.
“ck Star invited me to attend an event?”
At a secret base somewhere in Primeval Star River, Manison, who was trying to simte the Virtual Mutiny Virus, stopped and looked at his artificial intelligence with confusion.
“Yes, he’s invited you to attend the ck Star Cup closing ceremony.”
What’s wrong with this guy?
What makes ck Star think I will give him face after what happened?
Manison could not understand it at all.
Is he trying to fix our rtionship?
Or make me lose face in public?
“I’m not going. Reject it,” Manison replied and continued to reverse engineer the technology. “Okay, message sent.” Manison replied with a soft grunt and then stopped what he was doing for a moment. “By the way, remind me to watch the stream on the day of the ck Star Cup closing ceremony.”
Although he did not n to give Han Xiao face, he still wanted to find out what ck Star was attempting to do. There was definitely a reason he had received an invitation.
While the discussion about whether Han Xiao was ‘real or fake’ raged on the forums, thest two finals of the ck Star Cup started as scheduled.
Countless audience tforms floated above the venue, covering the sky. They were all fully upied by army members and spectators who had bought live tickets.
The audience tform specially made by the army was in the form of an oval shaped cabin. All the walls were transparent, so the spectators inside could see the outside from any angle. The walls also had the function to zoom in.
These audience tforms were also protected by transparent energy shields that could block all kinds of impacts and radiation so that there would not be any spectators lucky enough to get hurt. They could also fly at Mach speed twenty-four to ensure the spectators would be able to keep up with the Cmity Grade battles. With the advanced technology the tforms had, the spectators inside would also not feel any turbulence even when flying at such a high speed and always feel as if they were on the ground.
Today, Han Xiao personally came to watch thepetition at the venue. He arrived at the extremely crowded venue and hovered in front of the various audience tforms.
As soon as he showed up, he felt like electricity was running through his skin, as if he was being stared at by countless people from behind.
Han Xiao was not surprised. He knew this was the countless yers in the audience seats using ‘Detect’ on him. In the eyes of the yers, Han Xiao’s detailed attributes were still all question marks, but the yers’ goal was to see the color of Han Xiao’s name. The result of that was still green, which showed that Han Xiao was on their side, and they started chattering. “Let’s begin.” Han Xiao was not concerned about the yers’ discussion. He turned and signaled the host to start the finals. The host coughed and said with a loud voice, “Greetings, everyone. Today is thest day of the official ck Star Cuppetitions. There will be a total of two finals, the duel finals of the Cmity Grade group and the Square Scrimmage final of the Immortals group. Without further ado, the first match today will be the fight between two Cmity Grades. Contestants, please enter the venue...”
As soon as he said that, Hadavy and Jotina appeared. After a brief introduction, the two of them went to their own positions and waited for the match to start. Their battlefield was the surface of the entire. As time passed, the atmosphere became more and more tense. The moment the host announced the start of the match, two silhouettes left afterimages in their ce and shed.
Boom!
A shockwave expanded. The two of them instantly started attacking each other. Their movements were extremely quick as they moved across the’s surface. Everywhere they passed, they would leave cracks and deep w marks hundreds of meters long on the ground.
TIL
Boom!
Violent Pugilist mes continuouslynded on Hadavy, shattering all the hills and forests around like a dragon crawling on thend. Disasters such as earthquakes,ndslides, and tsunamis erupted. Hadavy was a hardening-type Esper, while Jotina was a Pugilist. Both of them were good at meleebat. The battle between them was violent and savage, basically just the shing of muscles and muscles, like two beasts fighting each other. To be more precise, Jotina was attacking, and Hadavy was enduring the attacks. The battle would only end when the one enduring the attacks could not take it anymore or when the one attacking got exhausted.
The impact of a Cmity Grade battle was exciting and beautiful for most of the spectators, but in Han Xiao’s eyes, the movements of the two of them were like a slow-motion video. He could easily count how many times Hadavy’s skin rippled after he got punched.
With Han Xiao’s current level, battles of Cmity Grades had absolutely no suspense. Hence, he decided to look at the forums while asionally ncing back.
Under the eyes of countless people, the result was finally decided after the two of them fought for a very long time. The surface of the looked like it had been hit by a meteor shower. It was tragic. In the end, Hadavy was victorious. Although he was covered in bruises and wounds, Jotina had copsed from exhaustion first.
After decades ofbat training, or rather, getting beat up, Hadavy’s defense was now extremely high. Inbination with his two Molding Talents, True Damage Immunity and Low Strength Attack Immunity, there was not a single person tankier than him in the ck Star Army other than Han Xiao
“Haha, I’m the pir of the army who His Excellency ck Star personally trained for decades. You’re still too young.”
Hadavy was very proud as he wagged his finger at Jotina, who was on the ground.
If not for his bruised face, this would have been quite convincing...
“Damn it!”
Jotina was not satisfied with the loss at all. She mmed the ground and created a crack dozens of meters wide.
She could not win the championship, which meant that ck Star would not notice her strength. ck Star not noticing her strength meant she would have less time tomunicate with ck Star during the award ceremony. Less time tomunicate with ck Star during the award ceremony meant it would be more difficult for her to build feelings. More difficulty building feelings meant the chances of her carrying out reproductive activities with ck Star would be lowered. As a new member of the army whose goal was to sleep with ck Star, she was extremely unhappy.
Han Xiao watched as the two of them were sent to have their injuries taken care of. He touched his chin and started pondering.
In my previous life, Hadavy did not reach the Beyond Grade A realm, and Jotina even died at the hands of Beast Ancestor, but now they’re both under mymand. I’ve trained Hadavy for decades. His chance of reaching Beyond Grade A, well, isn’t zero. It’s just that his ability is too monotonous. Even if he does be a Beyond Grade A, he’ll probably be at the lowest level like Kohler and Beyoni...
As for Jotina, other than her wild and open personality, Han Xiao quite liked her.
In terms of just potential, the chance of Jotina bing a Beyond Grade A was probably even higher than Hadavy. However, it would be basically impossible for her to reach Beast Ancestor’s level. Han Xiao felt that the limit of Jotina’s growth was probably somewhere around the level of ‘Star sher’ Viru, or ‘Tyrant’ Heber...
Not very strong but not among the weakest. As Han Xiao was reminded of Heber, he started thinking of him. Ever since Heber was defeated by him, he had been keeping a much lower profile and quietly growing in the Shattered Star Ring. Speaking of low profile, Han Xiao was reminded of Psyker again. He felt that this guy’s presence had gotten even lower in the universe. He might want to visit the Star Pupil Civilization some time. After all, he was now the Special Consultant of the three Universal Civilizations, so visiting Psyker would be totally within his duty.
While his thoughts ran wild, ck Star Cup’s logistics department entered the venue and started using tons of industrial devices to operate on this almost destroyed.
After a new venue was built, the host announced the start of thest final. Rivervale, Dynasty, Thunder Storm, and Gold’s teams entered one after another, greeting the spectators.
However, all the yers’ eyes were focused on Gold, even including the other three teams. Clearly, they were waiting for their proof.
“Captain, should I use the Character Summon Card now?”
Fly Free looked around the entire ce and firmly said, “Use it! This is the perfect time to prove we were not lying.”
The Mechanic yer took a deep breath, opened the interface, and activated the ck Star Character Summon Card. Then, he erged his status bar and made it public.
Of course, as the interface was disyed, ordinary people would not be able to see it. Only the yers could see the name of the effect given by this Character Summon Card.
ck Star Character Summon Card—[Billion Mechanic Empire-Manison)!
“It’s true!”
The yers became excited. Some even stood up and made the other spectators confused.
Han Xiao floated in midair with his arms crossed and listened to the discussions of the yers from the feedback of the cameras inside the audience tforms. He smirked.
After a while, many yers calmed down and looked up at Han Xiao’s back view. All kinds of emotions appeared in their eyes. Originally, since this was thest final, it should have been the center of attention. However, many yers were in a state of shock and confusion and could not focus on the match. The NPC spectators were as excited as usual, cheering for the four teams,pletely ignorant of the emotional rollercoaster the Immortals were going through Han Xiao did not focus much on the match either and was looking at the yers’ments on the forums. The match ended very quickly. Dynasty was the winner, and Gold Team was the first to get eliminated.
Gold Team had exposed their trump card in advance, so as expected, they got focus fired. Furthermore, (Billion Mechanic Empire) was not very powerful in the hands of the yers
yet.
The yers did not have those high-level Mechanic abilities and could not benefit from the specific bonuses. Furthermore, the duration was only a short hour, so the most powerful production and invention abilities of this ability werepletely useless. The only things the yer could benefit from were bonuses to their Intellect, Machinery Affinity, and Mechanic ability levels. These were just the basic bonuses. Though strong, it was not so powerful it would immediately turn the tide. This ability was totally wasted in the hands of the yers. Only peak Beyond Grade A Mechanics would be able to fully utilize the power of (Billion Mechanic Empire).
“... All the events of the ck Star Cup have now ended. Thank you for watching, and thank you, armymander, for attending the matches today. In three days, we’re going to host the closing ceremony of the ck Star Cup. The armymander will be personally congratting all those who’ve achieved great results in the ck Star Cup. Ladies and gentlemen, see you then!”
The host then left the venue and ended the broadcast.
The spectators also left the venue, including the yers. They kept looking back at Han Xiao while leaving.
Han Xiao smiled and watched them leave. He saw the yers’ reactions clearly. He uncontrobly raised his brows and felt anticipation for some reason.
I would like to find out how important I am to the yers and how many are willing to sacrifice themselves for me.
