Chapter 547: Chapter 246 Tai Sui Battles Themis_2

"Obsessed with scientific research and not fighting, huh? Makes sense, none of the others present a challenge for him, but modifications do."

"He’s probably just waiting to mix it up in the melee, getting serious then. After all, once he activates his invisibility, no one can see him."

Everyone was a little disappointed. The area had shrunk to the final stages, and although it still covered more than thirty square kilometers, only three thousand competitors remained.

This tournament was eliminating players rapidly. After all, there were too many experts present, and with Haley’s recent disruption, the numbers had drastically decreased.

As expected, it wouldn’t be long before only a thousand were left. Everyone felt that the preliminary round was about to end smoothly.

But suddenly, someone shouted, "Tai Sui is making a move!"

"What?"

"Does he still want to fight? Who’s in his path?"

"Themis!"

Everyone was excited. Just when they thought the round was coming to an end, Tai Sui once again began searching for an opponent.

To know, even if Tai Sui were to just sit and daydream, he could still make it through to the next round.

But now, he was heading in the direction of Themis.

"However, he shouldn’t be able to see Themis, right?"

"Yeah, Themis has activated his invisibility, and he even has that ’anti-surveillance field’ that can fool the judges."

"Then who else is in that direction?"

"If he continues moving forward, he might run into Tequila."

Everyone watched Gao Xin closely, thinking his next opponent might be Tequila.

Suddenly, Gao Xin made a turn and stopped in front of Themis’ laboratory bunker.

"Huh? What?"

"Could it be he’s discovered Themis?"

Everyone watched the screen in amazement as Gao Xin extended his Vermilion Bird Hand, blasting open the bunker to reveal the various equipment inside.

And a handsome young man, three meters tall with a streamlined physique, wearing only a pair of shorts. He looked no different from a normal person.

The man looked up with a smile: "To think that you’ve discovered me, quite a surprise."

"Your surveillance field shouldn’t have been able to detect me."

Gao Xin gazed at him, noticing the hovering shield and axe by his side.

Indeed, the other two S+ weapons had been acquired by Themis.

"A person with two S+ weapons, how do you expect a pauper like me to live?" Gao Xin said.

Themis chuckled: "Aren’t you the one who wants to hold three?"

"What? You want to fight me now?"

Gao Xin stared at him: "Can I not?"

Themis put down the tools in his hand, grabbing the Black Tortoise Shield with one hand and the White Tiger Halberd with the other.

One was a massive shield with a fierce relief, the other a sharp halberd brimming with a murderous air.

He zoomed into the sky in an instant, looking down on Gao Xin: "We can fight now if you like. Time to take you down."

"I was actually thinking of saving you for the final four, but it seems you’re getting eliminated in the preliminaries."

Themis was so confident. After all, he possessed all of the legendary battle consciousness in the world.

Including... but not limited to Milan, Quinn, Caesar, Adam... and even Tai Sui himself.

Gao Xin gazed at Themis, who was now in his prime form with eighteen arms spread wide.

He said, "Gentlemen, lend me your weapons."

Everyone watched tensely as Themis and Gao Xin’s confrontation intensified.

No one had expected a showdown between these two heavyweights in the preliminaries.

Themis had intentionally avoided Tai Sui, yet Tai Sui had actively sought him out.

All for those two S+ weapons. Such greed.

While everyone knew how strong Tai Sui was, and they hadn’t seen Themis in combat, they could guess that Themis must be terribly strong.

Moreover, Themis currently had two S+ weapons, while Gao Xin had only one. So in terms of equipment, he was actually at a disadvantage.

Han Feng urgently said, "Everyone, quick, lend your weapons to Brother Tai Sui!"

Feis immediately threw out a weapon he had bought earlier, and the others followed suit.

Even though they had bought the weapons, at that moment, they were still a team with common interests. Lending them to Gao Xin was no big deal.

Through their interactions over this period, they had become harmonious and had gained much from Gao Xin. They only wished for Gao Xin to win.

Otherwise, what, let Themis win? In a man versus machine fight, who would side with a robot?

"Shhhhhh!"

Gao Xin rapidly armed himself with eighteen S-grade weapons, while his own hands were still clad with Vermilion Bird Boxing Gloves.

The destructive power ratings instantly maxed out.

"A grand battle, happening directly in the preliminaries."

The crowd dispersed, and the contestants were all trembling with excitement.

The ultimate showdown between the strongest human, Tiger, and the strongest machine, Tiger.

It was a great honor to witness it with their own eyes.

"Come on!"

Gao Xin charged into the sky, engaging seven-stage overclocking, and went all out with his firepower right away.

However, Themis just tilted his head and said, "Wait a minute, put that human head down first."

But Gao Xin completely ignored him, launching into a ferocious assault, his eighteen arms, each wielding a different weapon, spinning like a battle top.

"You..." Themis quickly raised his shield to block, and suddenly a huge light shield materialized, looking as if it were entwined by turtles and snakes.

"Clang!"

The light shield shattered upon the clash with the weapons.

The ferocity of Gao Xin’s current offensive was the most explosive since the start of the tournament.

Even with an S+ grade shield, Themis couldn’t completely neutralize the attack and fell from the sky.

Gao Xin continued his relentless assault, his fury unabated, augmenting himself with a shock field, becoming like a drill of weapons within a tornado of battle.

Themis really wanted to launch a counterattack, but he ended up having to continuously fend off the onslaught.

"Put that human head down!"

Themis was a bit angry; he had anticipated a needle-point versus wheat standoff, only to find Tai Sui playing dirty with him.

By using the rules, he forced Themis to hold back from using mass destruction in retaliation.

Gao Xin with his seven-stage overclocking, eighteen types of S-grade weapons, plus the S+ Vermilion Bird Hand.

His offensive was at full throttle, all-out attack with no defense!

He had no shields, no armor, risked everything in a do-or-die approach, but Themis was handicapped.

Because the Shura God Statue-like body with thirty-six human heads was Tai Sui’s talisman!

"How can you fight me like this? You bastard, put down that human head!" Themis struggled to resist, being completely suppressed in the fight.

If it weren’t for his two top-grade pieces of equipment, he would already be in serious trouble.

And even so, the battle was extremely tough, and he couldn’t bring much of his ability into play.

Gao Xin sneered, "What’s the matter? Was it decided that I couldn’t fight this way when the universe was born?"

"..." Themis fell silent.

Anyone else might have cursed outright.

But he, being of high quality, thought for a moment and then laughed, "This is an unexpected tactic... Your combat data is incomplete."

"I admit, I’ve underestimated you."

Themis’s purpose in coming was to test out Tai Sui and Yak.

He believed he had collected comprehensive battle data on Tai Sui, claiming to have seen through him.

As long as he fought him, he was confident of victory.

Yet, Tai Sui’s first move was something he had not anticipated...

It took him completely by surprise, leading his model for winning the battle to falter completely, rendering all his preparations useless.

How to defeat Tai Sui without the ability to counterattack on a large scale?

Tai Sui’s approach to battle told him not to be restrained, just to brute force and annihilate the referee.

But that was a solution he could not accept.

Themis could not afford to be eliminated now.

"Why are you so certain that I wouldn’t dare kill the referee?" Themis asked curiously.

Gao Xin replied, "If you kill the referee, you’ll be disqualified."

"Someone once told me that Saint Peter is an Apostle who strictly adheres to the rules, and his behavior has also confirmed this."

"When announcing the new rules, in addition to not killing the referee, he also added a rule against controlling angels and aircraft carriers."

"This rule is clearly aimed at you, fearing you might act out of line."

"This means his dedication to the rules is unwavering and does not brook any personal feelings; even you cannot expect him to make an exception!"

"And you, you clearly understand this as well, that if you trigger a disqualification rule, you will indeed be disqualified."

Themis was resentful, blaming Saint Peter.

Had he not added that rule, Tai Sui would not be so sure that Themis would be disqualified even if he killed the referee.

After all, he was a high-ranking Apostle; the possibility of a loophole was significant.

But if he could create a loophole, allowing for no disqualification even after killing the referee, then there would be no need for Saint Peter to add that rule. Why not simply tell Themis to voluntarily refrain from controlling aircraft carriers?

The fact that Saint Peter publicly formalized it in rules shows that he has absolute control over the tournament, and Themis must abide by the rules.

And Tai Sui, without hesitation, exploited this to target him.

"Interesting. I’ve been completely blindsided; my entire understanding of you has to be overturned," Themis said, his angry expression disappearing, suddenly brimming with curiosity and laughter.
