Chapter 49 Football 49 Cutting Through Everything
The crimson light that fell from the sky ignited the entire world of Ten no Michū, burning everything in sight to ashes.
It was pitch black.
The world is upside down.
Senkiri Hyoma kneeling on the ground, Tenno Minaka unable to stand upright, Team Z cheering and jumping for joy, Team W remaining silent.
Human joys and sorrows are not shared.
Ten no Michu gazed at the unrestrained and arrogant Senkiri Hyogoro, his golden eyes trembling slightly.
He found it.
He found out too.
What he truly lacks.
It is... passion and unwavering determination, not the so-called desire to score goals.
I'm the one who's been tamed!
The words that Ten no Minaka had once used to describe Senkiri Hyoma were now being retaliated against by his actions.
Senkichi Hyoba, Senkichi Hyoba... This name echoed repeatedly in Amano Minaka's mind.
You really went too far.
Why wake yourself up at this time?
His dark blue hair clung to his cheeks with sweat, adding to his disheveled and vulnerable appearance.
Amano Minaka lowered his head, his eyelids half-closed. His eyes, which once sparkled with confidence and decisiveness, now seemed shrouded in thick clouds, losing their former brilliance. He forced a smile, but it couldn't hide the bitterness and resentment deep within his heart.
He lost.
We lost completely.
This was a first for him.
Amano Minaka originally intended to completely defeat Suoh Koki by relying solely on the "Maintain" state, thereby proving his irreplaceable position in the other party's heart.
But reality presented a completely opposite ending in an almost mocking manner.
The situation on the field is unpredictable.
The "maintenance" in the game "Heaven's Will" seems so powerless under the tacit cooperation of Suoh Koki and Kiyoseichi.
What's even more astonishing is that Team Z was not only not defeated in this fierce battle, but instead rose from the ashes like a phoenix, achieving sublimation in the flames.
Suoh Koki's choices are always correct. If he had chosen Ame no Mikoto, he would have been ruthlessly suppressed and killed. But by joining Team Z, he not only found his "self" but also continued to evolve.
What you pursue is like fine sand in your hand—you can't grasp it or keep it.
Even dreams are no longer clear.
Why do we continue playing football? Why do we still play football?
Amano Minaka was already tired of things that lacked challenge.
He had nothing left but the traces of death.
Tenno Minaka covered his mouth, his expression darkening.
If that's your answer... I accept it.
After the match, we went our separate ways, each going our own way.
...If leaving me can make you better, then abandoning me is your idea.
Let's end our agreement here.
I sincerely congratulate you on ascending to the throne of the world's number one.
Amano Minaka looked thoughtfully at the lawn beneath his feet.
Not far away.
"Niec, beautiful save!" Iya Maru's voice rang out without any fluctuation.
Kunishin Rensuke, standing to the side, nodded and said, "Well done, Chikiri!"
“Handsome, Miss.” Raichi Jingo said, baring his jagged teeth.
Qianqie Baoma smiled, feigning displeasure, but there was a hint of smugness hidden in that smile.
"Who are you calling 'Miss'?"
The players from Team Z swarmed forward, pinning their "savior" to the ground and cheering.
"You guys are so heavy!"
Although Senki Hyoma complained, his face was beaming with a happy smile.
This ball going out of bounds not only prevented Team W from scoring, but also dealt a blow to Team W's morale.
"Wait..." Kujo Wataru seemed to have discovered something and strode forward, "Chikiri is going to faint from the pressure."
Not one to shy away from trouble, Beehive shouted loudly, "Don't die! Qianqie!"
"Chikiri!"
Jie Shiyi quickly stepped forward to check.
Suoh Kōki stood still, his gaze passing through the crowd to look at Amanomichi.
You make that kind of expression too.
I can't believe we've become such a threat to you.
Could it be that we (I) can... defeat you?
His gaze involuntarily turned to Qianqie Baoma, who was being warmly embraced by his teammates. At that moment, his keen intuition as a striker was like an alarm bell ringing in his mind, warning him of the challenges and opportunities that were about to come.
Suoh Hyo-ki was caught in a fierce internal struggle.
what to do?
What should I do?
Suoh Koki tried hard to maintain his cool exterior, but the turmoil in his heart was hard to hide. The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, a smile that looked strange to others, betraying Suoh Koki's usual calm and self-control.
The white in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a deep black, with only a few green stars twinkling.
To conceal this sudden loss of emotional control, Suoh Hyo-hee quickly lowered her head, clenched one hand into a fist, and pressed it tightly against her lips, trying to stop the corners of her mouth from continuing to turn upwards.
But how could a mere action restrain the surging emotions within?
His efforts seemed so pale and powerless that he could only give up helplessly, letting the complex emotions surge in his chest.
because……
The thought of possibly defeating Ten no Minaka made Suoh Koki's body tremble.
Driven by a mix of deep-seated excitement and tension, his muscles were poised to unleash their power in preparation for the upcoming showdown.
Tinnitus, weakness, and body convulsions.
Apart from the sound of his heartbeat, Suoh Hyo-hee could hear nothing else.
He was extremely excited as he looked at Tenno Minaka, who had lowered his head and revealed the back of his neck.
Suoh Koki was more confident than ever that he could defeat Amanokinaka at this moment.
The glory of the Son of God has long since faded.
The moment Amano Minaka was hospitalized, the moment Amano Minaka proposed and forcibly "maintained" the game, the invincible God Child on the court had already disappeared. Now standing in front of him was an opponent with flesh and blood, weaknesses, and exploitable points.
Sorry, that's all.
Show me everything you have!
I will exploit your weaknesses and utterly defeat you!
From this moment forward, I will pray fervently for your forgiveness.
The wellspring of the self is completely opened, and a new branch called instinct surges in, with selfishness emerging incessantly and reason being abandoned.
All of this stemmed from Suoh Koki's instincts; all his choices were driven by self-interest, whether he was aware of it or not.
Perhaps...
In the instant he pursues his instincts, selfishness has already subtly shaped all his choices.
Because human nature is inherently self-interested.
No one dislikes becoming stronger, no one dislikes becoming better, and no one willingly becomes a tool to highlight others.
The same applies to Suoh Hyoki.
A young child takes the first step in life, which is stepping out of their comfort zone.
The brand-new white paper will no longer be framed on the white wall, and the sharp sword will sooner or later be wielded by the swordsman.
Is it now?
Yes, right now.
Suoh Koki will sever all connections with Amanomichi.
He was never pure white, never.
Long before he followed Amano Minaka, long before he lost to Shido Ryusei, long before he chose Team Z, long before he walked towards Jessie, the blank sheet of paper had already been stained with other colors.
"Chikiri."
Suoh Hyo-hee walked up to Senkiri Hyo-ma and extended his hand to him.
Let's go all out!
Senkiri Hyoma tossed his fiery red hair, raised an eyebrow at Suoh Hyoki, then grabbed his hand for support as he stood up, confidently declaring, "Of course!"
"We have no choice but to win."
The "king" crowned by God has been bewitched by an evil god and is now wielding a sharp blade against the true "god".
I will defeat you.
This is to prove to you that we are one step closer to our dream.
-----------------------
The author's note: The "king" crowned by God has been bewitched by an evil god and is now wielding a sharp blade against the true "god".
This is the origin of the names of players one and two; the phrase appeared even earlier than their names.
They are "Heavenly Lord God" and "King".
The fact that the God King combination shows that Suoh Koki will definitely break with Amanominaka.
A mature ruler will not tolerate others interfering.
This match ended after two chapters. The second election will be written quickly and won't cover the new hero battle; it will probably end around National Day.
