Chapter 582 Unacceptable Result

Knox suffered a crushing defeat!

Blood squeezed out from the cracks in the knotted flesh, like a towel, and gradually solidified into ice particles under the extremely cold residual temperature.

Of course Anduin held back. It was impossible for him to really kill Knox, he just seriously injured him.

Being twisted into a pretzel is not a fatal injury even for a Class B life form.

But even so, the command room of the joint flagship fell into silence, with everyone looking stunned.

Knox clearly had the advantage, but the outcome was reversed in the blink of an eye.

Hines was furious. Pointing out the window, he said to Schmidt, "That's one of yours. Has he been bribed? He's just standing there and acting crazy."

Schmidt's face looked equally ugly. Knox took the first step and thought he would be unstoppable, but the result was completely different from what he expected.

Moreover, the defeat was so strange. He was dominating the opponent one moment, and was twisted into a knot the next moment, with almost no power to resist.

At first glance, it really looks like water has been released.

But after hearing Heins's roar, Schmidt suddenly realized what was happening and said angrily, "Heins, think before you speak."

Hines sneered, "I only believe what I see. This is an interstellar live broadcast. Failure is like a slap in the face!"

Costat frowned and remained silent. Another accident had happened.

how so.

Theoretically, Knox is a sure win over Anduin.

In the first half of the battle, the process was just as they expected.

But something went wrong in the second half. He could clearly see that Knox seemed to be restrained by some means.

But he is an X-level life form that has embarked on the ultimate path, with a combat energy level of 1500X. There are very few means of suppression that can work on him.

"No..." Someone suddenly spoke up from among the many higher life forms. He was tall and slender, with two pairs of blue eyes. He asked suspiciously, "Is it... time distortion?"

"Time distortion?"

Kostat looked over at the first moment, and the words "Star of Eternal Silence" appeared in his mind, followed by the Azure Dragon.

It is hardly considered to be Anduin's own means.

"It's indeed a time distortion field," a skinny old man agreed. "Knox must have been suppressed."

Hines reacted quickly, asking in surprise, "Qinglong is here?"

"No..." Costat shook his head and hesitated, "Using the Star of Eternal Silence isn't that easy, let alone using it so quietly."

He originally wanted to say it was impossible, but when he thought of Qinglong's incredible methods, he still left some room for improvement.

"Anduin himself is also studying time, and has even achieved the unity of time and space..." someone reminded.

"But Knox's life level is even higher than his. It's impossible to affect Knox in such a short time, or even make him almost unable to resist."

Abilities also have strengths and weaknesses, and the impact does not go from being completely ineffective to overwhelming. There should be a process, but Knox's performance is extremely weird.

Everyone was discussing it at once.

Knox had been carried back and was almost repaired, regaining his normal body shape, but there were still some minor cracks on his body surface and his face was pale.

"Sorry..." Knox's face tightened, and Schmidt's expression changed slightly.

This is not just a failure for Knox, it also means that the Covenant has lost a seat.

But Knox's status was still above his, so he couldn't blame him. He could only force a smile and comfort him: "I'm glad you're okay, sir. What happened? Why did things suddenly turn around?"

"The time distortion field," Knox said solemnly, "is extremely powerful and has profoundly affected me. Just passively resisting it has consumed a tremendous amount of energy."

Kostarte quickly asked, "Are you sure it was Anduin's doing?"

"I'm not sure..." Knox hesitated, then shook his head. "But I'm not sure it came from anyone else either. That force field appeared very abruptly."

Isn't this nonsense? Everyone was speechless, but they had already subconsciously determined in their hearts that it was most likely not Anduin.

"Is Qinglong really going to use some tricks?" Hines' face was gloomy. He glanced at the outside world through the porthole, as if he wanted to find Qinglong hiding somewhere.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be Azure Dragon," Costat emphasized again. "The Star of Eternal Silence has already shattered, making it even more difficult to mobilize. Furthermore, there will inevitably be a large-scale energy reaction."

Everyone was silent, but they couldn't believe it was Anduin.

If he can suppress Knox, he can probably suppress them as well, and his strength level will be directly raised to the level of Gustav.

"After losing the first game, even if we win the next six games, the effect won't be that good." Schmidt sighed.

The meaning of "first" in any situation is much stronger than the ones that come after.

On the wide area channel, the audience was also discussing it heatedly, and many people were very excited.

"Fuck, didn't they say the guys challenged were doomed to fail? Some people also said the challengers were carefully selected from the three major civilizations. Is that it?"

"...The three major civilizations are really failing. They don't even have the confidence to win, yet they send people to challenge us."

For the many living beings watching the live broadcast, it was difficult for them to experience the terrifying life pressure at the scene, but they were just as excited and discussed it enthusiastically everywhere.

Anduin stood in the starry sky, with countless spotlights falling on his face. His expression seemed indifferent and calm, but he was actually shocked in his heart.

"Where on earth did Azure Dragon mobilize the Star of Eternal Silence from? That's too abnormal."

There was no time to think too much during the battle, but he looked around and didn't find any suspicious fluctuations.

But he was also a little worried. He could explain the suppression by using the time distortion field, after all, he had studied this aspect of time.

But if it comes to Perkins, Axel and others, there is no explanation.

"We won. Anduin is so strong? Knox let us win too much."

In the Silent Night, the expressions of the higher life forms changed slightly. The final victory was too weird.

"Time distortion field..." Anatoly narrowed his eyes, hinting at something. "Is Anduin's mastery of time actually this strong?"

"Time distortion?"

Everyone's expression changed slightly, and most of them subconsciously thought of Qinglong. After all, they had only been in contact with the Star of Eternal Silence not long ago.

Anduin and Qinglong have a good personal relationship. Although this challenge live broadcast is intended to suppress the United Organization of Higher Life Forms, it is also intended to isolate Qinglong.

It is indeed possible that the big boss took action in secret, but it would be too secretive.

Everyone looked at each other, as if asking if they had noticed any abnormal energy points.

"Don't talk nonsense without evidence. None of the three major civilizations have raised any objections." Senil said quietly.

Now, everyone's faces looked even stranger.

Gustav came over but said nothing.

"In any case, the failure of the first battle is a disgrace to the three major civilizations."

Many people felt a lot more relaxed, as if they knew they had a big guarantee.

While everyone was talking, Anduin had already returned to his car and the virtual projection came online.

Everyone looked at him and congratulated him.

"It's my turn." Perkins suddenly spoke, and the virtual projection collapsed. A giant ten meters tall flew out from the extremely murderous blood-colored warship.

His opponent is an interstellar human, a genetically evolved being.

"What do you think? Can Perkins win this time?"

"Normally, we probably can't win, but if a time distortion force field suddenly appears to suppress us, it's hard to say."

The words were neither ambiguous nor sinister, and Anduin glanced at him indifferently, realizing that it was an "old friend".

The noisy sound suddenly subsided. The battle had begun, and the energy glow of the collision caused a tide.

It is difficult for normal living beings to see the details of the fight clearly, but they are not one of them.

But slowly, everyone realized that something was wrong, and Anatoly looked confused and uncertain.

"Perkins was suppressing Alec the whole time?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"Alec's combat energy level is around 1800X. How could he be suppressed by Perkins, and have such a hard time?"

"Look at Alec's face. Why has it turned so pale? His arms are shaking. It seems like he's having a hard time fighting..."

After just over half an hour, they were stunned.

"Win...win?"

The cabin fell into silence again. This time the battle went smoothly, but Perkins had the upper hand throughout.

Anduin was highly focused and did not notice any signs of time distortion.

While I felt relieved, I also had a more intuitive impression of Qinglong's unfathomable depth.

Perkins' combat energy level is around 1500x, maybe a little more, but never more than 1600.

What Qinglong did was not only to fill the gap, but also to give Perkins an absolute advantage, and he did it without anyone noticing.

"There is no time distortion... isn't it Qinglong who is taking action?" This is what Anatoly cared about.

But this conclusion could not convince his intuition.

Bang!

Alec walked in from the hatch of the command room with a grim expression.

Costat and the others no longer showed any joy. Schmidt frowned and asked quickly, "What's going on? Is it a time distortion?"

"No..." Alec shook his head, angrily saying, "From the very beginning of the battle, I was suppressed by a special force field. No matter what I did, I had to consume a huge amount of energy. By the end, I couldn't even liberate my genes."

No one listened to the second half of his speech. All they knew was that it was not time distortion.

It seems that the possibility of Qinglong taking action has been ruled out.

Hines looked around at everyone and sneered, "If it's not Qinglong, could it be that these two guys have worked hard after being challenged last time and made a huge breakthrough in a short period of time?"

"Do you believe it?"

No one could give him an answer. Suddenly, a charming laugh came from the wide-area channel: "It's my turn now. Where are your people?"

Everyone subconsciously looked at the screen, only to see that Seniel's enchanting figure had already entered the center of the battlefield.

The nanofiber-woven combat uniform split into scaly gaps at the waist, revealing long, white, and delicate legs wearing scarlet high heels.

Countless living beings are magnifying the details through various observation devices.

"Bitch!" Hines gritted his teeth. "You even dared to provoke me."

"Sir Viren." Costat looked over and saw the withered old man in the corner stand up. His voice was flat: "Don't hold your hopes too high. Two accidents have already happened."

His precautions were correct. After only a few rounds, no more than fifteen minutes, and without even a major collision, he surrendered and came back.

"Why... did you give up?" Costat asked helplessly.

Velen's eyes were cloudy. "Seniel's mental attack is too strong. It even induced mental hallucinations. I can hardly distinguish the real from the fake. There's no point in fighting any further."

"Mental attack..." Everyone looked at each other, but still didn't find any clues. Senil, nicknamed the Queen of Shadows, was good at mental attacks.

The cabin no longer had the exciting atmosphere it had at the beginning, and fell into silence.

The strength displayed by these three people does not match the information.

If they really won by their own strength, it would be hard for them to accept it.

But if Qinglong takes action, it will not be good news. This kind of covert suppression method is too terrifying.

These three defeats are like three slaps in the face. Even if we win four more games, we won’t be able to make up for much of the losses.

"I'll go..." The life form with four blue eyes stood up, seeming a little heavy, without any of the leisurely attitude he had at the beginning.

And everyone watched him step into the arena.

The target of the challenge is the Dwarf King, a king holding a huge hammer with a calm expression.

This actually made the opponent hesitate, and they did not launch an attack immediately, but waited for the Dwarf King to attack.

The unexpected situations did not occur as he had expected, and the strength of the dwarf king did not improve at all.

But based on his previous experience, he remained highly vigilant, prepared for any strange means that might arise.

However, until the end, there were no surprises.

After winning, he was even a little bit puzzled.

"You actually won?"

He did not feel any joy, only surprise. After returning to the command room, everyone seemed to be in deep thought.

"...Winning is normal, not winning would be strange," Schmidt said. "We have extremely detailed data, and our estimate of their strength is unlikely to go astray."

This victory helped them regain some confidence, but Axel's victory afterwards completely ruined their mood.

It wasn't until half a day later that the entire challenge was completely over. They defeated Akron and Bellamina again, but they still didn't look happy.

"Seven seats, and in the end, only three were occupied!" Hines held up a trembling finger, his face grim. "I told you to just go for it, not play some StarCraft livestream with them. Now you're stunned, aren't you?"

Kostadt and Schmidt had blank expressions on their faces, having already been annoyed for a long time.

The seats originally allocated were two for the Empire, three for the Federation and three for the Covenant.

The Star Alliance even occupied a vice-chairman seat, but due to an accident at the expansion meeting some time ago, the Star Alliance's vice-chairman seat became an ordinary seat.

But now, the Empire, the Covenant, and the Federation have become only one seat, and have gone from being able to influence the voting results to being direct spectators.

Not only that, the suppression did not work, but instead it only brought shame. Needless to say, you will be criticized by the higher-ups when you return.

And it is unknown to what extent the united organization of higher life forms will expand.
