Glory [e-sports]

The finals circle was only so big. Everyone could see the chat box that popped up over his head.

At this moment, the thoughts of everyone present were different.

The melon seed eating audience: “???”

Yuan Ze’s head hurt. “Little Lunatic Wei?” Could you care about your image just a little? Coming up with an ID like that was a huge piece of black history that should be left in the closet, yet you aired it out in front of the whole world for everyone to see?!

Proud Flower Kim, whose murderous frenzy had cooled down slightly at the sight: “……” Sure enough, if one lived long enough, they would see all kinds of little beasts.

The elf who’d landed lightly on the ground amidst the rain performed a gesture.

Each character in Glory had its own in-game gesture, and it was different for each skin.

Wei Xiao’s storm hunter was a collector’s edition fairy king skin. The slender fairy elf figure was as pale as snow, with silver hair cascading down like a waterfall, and a crown made of flower branches that held a charming sapphire. The bright lights were reflected in his eyes, like a sunny day after snow, cold but clear.

The elf king was cool and noble, but at this time, he was leaning forward slightly, his eyes slightly narrowed, his slender fingertips touching his lips briefly, just before a heart-shaped special effect flew out.

––Flying kiss.

Aimed precisely at Close.

The whole finals circle: “…………………..”

The global audience: “………………………………….”

Bai Cai covered his eyes. He was huffing out breaths of air.

It was a real performance of ‘things will develop in the opposite direction when they’ve gone too far’. Regarding this Quiet who’d gone to such extreme recklessness, the entire global audience was left choked and speechless.

Fans in other competition zones: “Who is this? Who is this!!”

“FTW’s new jungler.”

“???”

“His strength is proportional to the craziness of his actions.”

There were fans from China who enthusiastically explained the situation, “FTW.Quiet, jungler king, warrior king, mage king, hunter king, trash talk king.”

“You can walk by, pass by, but don’t miss out. Become a Quiet fan, you won’t lose out. At most, you’ll just regret until your intestines hurt.”

“After buying into Quiet, from then on, moral integrity will forever be a passer-by.”

“Did you see that? This is FTW’s moral integrity lower limit, oh… sorry, I’m too modest. This is clearly our China competition zone’s moral integrity lower limit.”

What makes those who didn’t understand the situation even more frightened was Close’s response.

Based on Xie He’s understanding of Close, he was a man who refused all sorts of gaudy and flaunting things. When seeing this ID he would surely send him to hell, let alone after receiving such a suffocating flying kiss.

However…

There were no nine light arcs.

There was no shadow attack.

There wasn’t even a basic attack.

Close hadn’t typed out a single word during the whole game and hadn’t said a single sentence. But at this moment, he typed out his first word: “Good.”

Xie He: “………………………..”

Don’t interview him. If you interview him, then God Xie wouldn’t be able to control his own mage staff!

Equally motionless was the former FTW captain, the man who’d created one miracle after another in the Team of Gods.

Yan Jiang: “Are you a FTW player?”

Wei Xiao formally introduced himself to him, “FTW.Quiet, jungler position. My goal is the global championship!”

Not only could God Yan see these words, the entire final circle and the global audience could also see it very clearly!

Off stage, Coach Chen Feng and Manager Xiang Liu both felt a headache hit them at the same time: Were there any painkillers? The headache was the type where they would die if they didn’t take them now.

Cong Yi, who was sitting beside them, laughed without any regard for politeness. “Really worthy of being him.”

The commentator also started to have fun with it, and the audience were even more explosive with their scrolling comments.

When others said these words, everyone might scoff at them, feeling that the player was acting too arrogantly or having delusions over their own strength. In short, they were negative emotions.

But it was different with Wei Xiao. His personal style was too strange, making it so that people didn’t feel that it was unexpected no matter what he said, and they even started to have a strange sense of expectation.

It was as though he could do anything––this immortal could do things that ordinary people didn’t even dare to think about!

This kind of confidence made people smile in their hearts, and also caused them to feel an incomparable envy.

Yan Jiang had thought of the possibility that he was a professional player. After all, the strength that he showed was very uncommon.

But…

The European competition zone camera switched to show Yan Jiang. The chest of a man who was always calm and self-contained clearly showed ups and downs.

What would make him even more upset was still to come.

Wei Xiao’s fingers clattered over the keyboard as he typed, explaining the situation on his side very clearly in just a short moment, “Captain, I brought Captain Yan here for you!”

Yan Jiang: “……”

Wei Xiao: “He has a godly special skill on him!”

Yan Jiang sucked in a light breath.

Wei Xiao: “Kill him quickly!”

Yan Jiang: “Quiet.”

Wei Xiao: “Hm?”

Yan Jiang stared at this seemingly innocent word that also seemed to beg for a beating. His fingers landed heavily on his keyboard, “This whole time, your goal was to send me to Close?”

Wei Xiao: “Of course.” His tone was bold and righteous.

Xie He, who vaguely understood something, “……”

For a moment, he didn’t know who he should feel distressed for.

Provoking Yan Jiang like this–Quiet, you will die, you will die very miserably.

In the whole finals circle, only the melon seed eating big brother had a face covered in confusion.

What was everyone talking about?

Could someone translate it for him?

Miserable. He was really miserable.

So many people envied the number one melon seed eating audience, but because the language was unclear, he didn’t couldn’t understand what kind of melon seeds he was eating.

The finals circle wasn’t a place for people to chat in.

In the time it took for them to type out a few lines, a silver beam shot down from the sky. A colorful gem was encased within.

This wasn’t something that would exist in reality. This dreamlike luster was something a real gem wouldn’t have.

––Sky Island’s Heart.

The ultimate core of the big brawl.

From the outer zones to the central zone, then to the finals circle.

The only condition for victory was to obtain Sky Island’s Heart.

The halo would shrink continuously until it all entered Sky Island’s Heart. The player who obtained this gem could stand on the new island and see the surrender of all the beasts.

Once Sky Island’s heart landed in the finals circle, whoever could hold Sky Island’s Heart and keep it for 300 seconds would become the final winner.

300 seconds, 5 minutes. How could a player keep and guard it in such an arena?

The place where Sky Island’s Heart landed was randomly generated. The melon seed eating audience was extremely lucky and was ‘blessed’ with having Sky Island’s heart land right where he was standing.

System announcement: CM picks up Sky Island’s Heart. Countdown: 300 seconds.

It was already very unexpected for CM to have survived and made it into the finals circle. He wasn’t a professional player, but was one of the top anchors in the North American competition zone. He was strong and had held his own against Gary in a 1v1 game.

It was impossible for a player with no ability to survive until now amongst a crowd of all-stars.

But no matter how much ability he had, at this moment, at this time…

Going up against the whole Team of Gods on his own?

Mama, help me!

Even before CM could react, cloud marks, ice arrows, and spears all whistled over. Finally, his life was taken away by a brilliant light arc.

CM was very satisfied about being able to die in such a thrilling manner.

The holder of Sky Island’s Heart had died. Not only did he drop all his equipment and skill points, Sky Island’s Heart also hung suspended in the air.

The commentators from all over the world started to speak quickly, “Who will be the next to pick up Sky Island’s Heart?!”

“This is a hot potato. It’s not necessarily a good thing to pick it up now.”

“But if you can hold on for the next five minutes, victory will belong to the holder of Sky Island’s Heart!”

“How can they hold on? The arena is so small, and all the players left alive are god level players.”

The scene was really thrilling.

Holding Sky Island’s Heart for 300 seconds meant winning the game, but of the six people present, none of them were easy to deal with.

What kind of concept was 5 minutes?

It only took three seconds for a shadow thief to kill someone.

Picking up Sky Island’s Heart now was no different from embarking on the road to death.

Not only the commentators and guests, but even the audience and the fans in the live broadcast room were all talking about it.

Countless small essays filled the scrolling comments, and nobody could see the arena clearly through the comments.

Even in the Gossip Emperor’s broadcast, the CP fans who were immersed in their ships couldn’t help but grow anxious. “What to do, what to do, I don’t want to see the great demon king lose!”

“Don’t pick up Sky Island’s Heart for now. In the current situation, whoever picks it up will die.”

“Yes, yes, yes, don’t pick it up, fight the group battle first and determine the winner before going for it.”

“This really is a damned big brawl!”

When everyone felt that Sky Island’s Heart shouldn’t be touched, and picking it up would be death, the system announcement rang out––

FTW.Close has picked up Sky Island’s Heart. Countdown: 280 seconds.

The whole world burst into an uproar.

Even the guests were confused. The commentators spoke quickly, “Close has picked up Sky Island’s Heart. He’s about to face concentrated attacks!”

Close fans in the China competition zone were going crazy. “Holy shit, what kind of situation is this?”

“Great demon king, nooo, ahhhhh!”

“Close can’t lose!”

“No way, I can’t breathe, three years ago, this group of dogs tossed away my Close, and now they’re going to beat him up three years later?”

“Upstairs, don’t say that, your words make my heart skip a beat.”

“What if they don’t attack Close?”

“Then my heart will be even more scared!”

“Why does my great demon king have to suffer such grievance?!”

The fans’ mentality exploded, and those in the finals circle were also stunned.

Close had picked up Sky Island’s Heart. According to the rules, they had to go and fight for it.

Yuan Ze, Kim Sung-hyun, Xie He… For the three of them to side together and attack Close.

They really couldn’t make themselves lift up their guns, hold up their arrows, or steady their mage staves.

Until a chat box popped up, “Captain, go for it!!! Kill them!!!”

The whole world fell silent.

There was always a little beast who could destroy the atmosphere.
