This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 582 Unacceptable results

Knox lost miserably!
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 knot is not a fatal injury even for a B-level 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. He pointed out the window and said to Schmidt, "This is your man. Has he been bribed by TM? Why is he just standing there and having a fit?"

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 in the facts I see. This is an interstellar live broadcast. If we fail, it will be like a slap in the face!"

Costat frowned and remained silent. Another accident 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 who 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 among the many higher life forms suddenly spoke up. He was tall and slender, with two pairs of blue eyes, and asked suspiciously, "Is it... time distortion?"

"Time distortion?"

Costat 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 is indeed a time distortion field." A skinny old man agreed, "Knox should be suppressed."

Hines reacted quickly, and asked in doubt: "Qinglong is here?"

"No..." Costat shook his head and said hesitantly, "It's not that easy to use the Star of Eternal Silence, let alone use 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 higher than his. It is 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 directly from being ineffective to crushing. There should be a process, but Knox's performance was extremely weird.

Everyone was talking about it.

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

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

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

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

"The time distortion field," Knox said solemnly, "is extremely powerful and has had a profound impact on me. Just passively resisting it has consumed a great deal of my energy."

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

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

Isn't this nonsense? Everyone was speechless, but they had 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 have to be Azure Dragon." Costat emphasized again, "The Star of Eternal Silence has been shattered, so it will be more difficult to mobilize it, and there will definitely be a large-scale energy reaction."

Everyone remained 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.

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

"Damn, didn't they say that the guys who were challenged would definitely lose? Some people also said that the challengers were carefully selected by the three major civilizations. Is that it?"

“…The three major civilizations are really weak. 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 to experience the terrifying life pressure at the scene, but they were just as excited and discussing it enthusiastically everywhere.

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

"Where on earth did Qinglong mobilize the Star of Eternal Silence? This is too abnormal."

He didn't have 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, as if hinting at something, "Anduin's attainment in time is 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 made a move 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 about things without evidence. None of the three major civilizations have raised any objections." Senil said quietly.

Now, everyone's faces looked even more strange.

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 spoke suddenly, and the virtual projection collapsed. A giant ten meters tall flew out from the extremely murderous blood-colored battleship.

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

"You guys 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 and found 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 already difficult for normal life forms to see the details of a fight, but they are not one of them.

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

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

"Alec's combat energy level is around 1800X, how come he was suppressed by Perkins and had such a hard time?"

"Look at Alec's face, why has it turned so pale? His arms are shaking, as if the fight is very difficult..."

Just over half an hour later, they were stunned.

"Win...win?"

The cabin fell into silence again. This time the battle went on without any twists and turns, 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 make up for the gap, but also to give Perkins an absolute advantage, and to do 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.

boom!
Alec walked in from the hatch of the command room with a grim look on his face.

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

"No..." Alec shook his head and said angrily, "As soon as the battle started, I was suppressed by a special force field. No matter what I did, I had to consume a lot 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 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 Senil's enchanting figure had already entered the center of the battlefield.

The combat uniform woven from nanofibers split into scaly gaps at the waist, revealing long, white, tender 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 take the initiative to provoke me."

“Sir Viren.” Costat looked over and saw the skinny old man in the corner stand up and said in a flat voice: “Don’t hold too much hope in me. 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 was too strong. It even induced mental hallucinations. I could hardly tell the truth from the false. There was no point in continuing the fight."

"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 shown 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 would not be good news either. This covert method of suppression is too terrifying.

These three failures are like three slaps in the face. Even if we win four more games, we won’t be able to get back much of our losses.

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

And everyone watched him walk into the arena.

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

This 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 the fight, he was even a little confused.

“You actually won?”

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

"…It would be normal if they win, and it would be strange if they don't." Schmidt was speaking, "We have extremely detailed information, 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, and they didn't look happy at all.

"There are seven seats, but in the end, only three were occupied!" Hines trembled and stretched out his finger, his face extremely ugly. "I said we should just do it, and not play StarCraft with them. Now you are stunned, right?"

Kostadt and Schmidt had blank expressions on their faces, having already been annoyed.

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 caused great shame. It goes without saying that after returning, he will be criticized by the upper echelons.

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