Rebellious Omega
Chapter 9
In his video collection, there were even high-ranking videos of pentakill. It was not an exaggeration to call them godly.
His personal mech was a fifth-generation NSD mech known as' Black Mirror '.
The mech was slender, twenty meters tall, and eight meters wide at the shoulder.
The mech's outer shell was different from the usual metallic texture. It was more like black agate. When it was stationary, it looked more like a work of art created by nature.
Both sides of the chest were radioactive exits.
The abdomen was a multi-faceted carcass. The joints of the legs were made of steel to increase the mech's durability. The shoulders were equipped with two heavy mortars. The arms were equipped with I19 plasma cannons. The weapons were able to penetrate the Zerg's body and burn its insides. The right arm was equipped with a sharp extended wrist blade. It was a close-range cutting weapon.
It was a combination of long-range and close-range attacks. In the official evaluation, Mirror's balanced combat power was ranked third.
It was agile, agile, and agile. It also had the ultimate move, the Thomas Roundhouse Kick.
You could tell at a glance that Episode One had formed his own fighting style.
He was a tough opponent, but …
This match was bound to be interesting.
You thought about it and your eyes lit up. You couldn't help but smile ten degrees, revealing your right canine tooth. Two dimples appeared on your snow-white cheeks.
Then, you clicked on the battle invitation and clicked [Agree] in the column next to his name.
On the other hand, Episode One was about to go offline after the battle when a message popped up in front of him.
[
Qiu Yu has accepted your battle invitation. The battle will begin in one minute. Please be prepared.]
When Yi Yiyi saw the contents of the message box, he suddenly clenched his fists. His dark eyes seemed to ignite with the flames of war, and his whole person was filled with fighting spirit.
Meanwhile, those who were paying attention to Qiu Yu and Episode 1 rushed into the livestream room when they found out about this. The number of people in the livestream room increased from zero to fifty thousand in less than ten seconds!
And this number was still increasing ….
Prepare for battle.
The map was randomly selected: Gravity Field.
As the name suggested, this map was based on a space-like environment. The gravity of the battlefield was twice that of the Alliance's main planet. This meant that the difficulty of piloting the mech had increased by more than two times. The magnetic field was six times stronger than that of the main planet. This meant that magnetic field storms could appear on the battlefield. Once a magnetic field storm appeared, it could easily tear the light mech into pieces.
The low temperature of the battlefield was also a consideration. In a low temperature environment, the power of the electromagnetic cannons and mortars would be affected, including the movement speed of the mech.
You closed your eyes and exhaled slowly.
Gravity Field was the worst map for you. But …
Since you had made your choice, go for it without hesitation.
When he opened his eyes again, there seemed to be sharp ice blades hidden in his misty blue eyes. It was as if he had been invaded by a fierce winter, and his entire blue eyes seemed to have been frozen.
You lowered your eyebrows, your entire face tensed up, and the corners of your mouth seemed to have collapsed into a line.
Battle!
The mech appeared on the surface of a desolate planet. Strong winds raged, the terrain was rugged, and a thick layer of ice covered the entire planet.
You and First One didn't attack immediately.
Instead, you stayed in place, vigilantly observing the opponent and the surrounding environment. In this high magnetic environment, the equipment for surveying the terrain and measuring data in the mech had already failed. If you didn't want to be defeated in one hit, then data calculation was necessary.
You madly calculated the data in your mind while thinking about the best battle plan.
The friction on the surface of the ice …
The resistance of the air …
The limit of gravity acceleration …
And the most likely place and time of the magnetic field storm.
His dexterity and agility, his positioning, as well as his ultimate move — —
For you, in this harsh environment, whether it was the mech or personal strength, you definitely couldn't win in a head-on duel. Then, there was only …
Your eyes deepened as you stared intently at Yi Yi Yi.
First One moved first.
He rushed up quickly and fired the mortars on his shoulders at the same time.
When others thought you were going to dodge back or maneuver the mech to rise, you dodged the incoming shells while activating the thrusters.
The four compartments swung forward together, and the main thrusters spewed out reverse jets of flame. The speed unit dropped from second to minute to hour in one breath.
Bearing the strong deceleration of gravity on your back, enduring the discomfort of your eyes that felt like they were going to fly out and your fingertips swollen due to the reverse flow of blood, you quickly rushed toward First One and shouted, "FUNNEL!"
The inside of the compartments shone with multiple jets of light. Two jets shot out from each of the four compartments, a total of eight small objects about two meters long.
Moving with inertia, they paused for a moment around you, then immediately activated their thrusters and rushed toward the target like missiles.
The induction cannon looked like its name. The conical barrel-shaped objects gathered together and scattered, attacking the "Black Mirror" that was still out of range.
This wasn't automatic control, nor was it a mechanical long-distance operation.
In the battlefield under the strong magnetic field, computers couldn't be used for single-point attacks.
A weapon like the sensor cannon could only be manually operated by the pilot at this time. The mind was like a bottomless abyss. Countless calculations were running in one's mind, and strings of numbers seemed to appear before one's eyes.
Seeing you rushing over, First One lifted the mech without hesitation and activated the I19 plasma cannon with both arms. Plasma particles in the form of scattershot shot toward you —
The ice surface cracked with a boom, and tens of thousands of pieces of ice rose, passing through the induction cannon that seemed to be coming at the speed of light. First One quickly activated his defensive shield. He instinctively felt that something was wrong, but the consecutive attacks in front of him were too much for his eyes to take in. He could only secretly guard behind him …
…
At the end of the battle, you took the victory with a close-range attack.
You held the samurai sword and pierced Mirror's left chest from the back. That was where the central nervous system of the mech was located. If it was damaged, then the mech was basically useless. In a competition, piercing through the left chest of the mech or reaching 90% of the damage would mean victory.
The mechanical voice of the system rang above the battlefield.
[Congratulations.
Qiu Yu has won this battle.]
The battlefield was silent, and only the wind was still whistling.
Black Mirror in front of you was still in the same position as when he was hit, and slowly fell —
Then the system's voice rang in your ears again.
[Settlement complete. You have received 34,000 points and 20,000 gold coins. One minute before the battlefield closes …]
***
…
I lost.
I lost.
The suppressed heat in his heart burned his internal organs, and his whole body seemed to be in so much pain that he couldn't breathe.
First One clenched his fists tightly, and his whole body trembled. He gradually curled up in the mech cabin like a trembling trapped beast, and his whole body was full of resistance.
He looked at the floor of the mech cabin in a daze, and his whole body was empty. The sound of his heartbeat slowed down, and it seemed to have dropped to 50 beats per minute —
Suddenly, a girl's voice rang in his ears.
"Hey, First One One."
His heart, which had already calmed down, suddenly started beating violently.
"… You're very good. You're a worthy opponent."
The voice paused for a moment, and then continued to speak.
"I'm looking forward to the next battle with you."
The sweetness was like a combination of cotton candy, caramel, and toffee, immersed in the gentle orange flowers, creating a sweet smell, mixed with a soft and warm smile with a hint of musk.
First One One didn't know why his heart was beating so violently. His heart, which only beat so violently in battle, was now like fireworks in the air, and the sound was so loud that it was deafening.
Why was it so fast at this time?
Was it because he was defeated that he couldn't accept it?
First One One One felt his chest in a daze, and seemed to be able to clearly feel the heartbeat under his hand.
"Dong … dong … dong …"
He frowned. This feeling was too strange, and it made him feel a little lost.
So he chose to escape from reality. He closed his eyes and said to the optical computer.
"… Quit."
Just quit, right? Just return to the real world.
Don't pay attention to this person, this person who gave me such a strange reaction.
This strange feeling … It's too strange.
He thought.
You looked at First One One who disappeared in front of you, and slowly blinked your eyes.
Are all newcomers so impolite nowadays?
He didn't even say a word and went offline.
Could it be that his self-esteem was defeated by me?
Eh, it seems like it's possible.
You tilted your head and thought so, and then laughed heartlessly.
After experiencing such a difficult battle, you felt like your brain had lost its ability to function. The overly complex and huge amount of calculations made you feel exhausted.
After you quit the battle, you found that your message box was full of messages.
The latest one was — —
[Qiu Yu, are you interested in meeting me?]
The person who sent the message was your fixed partner who pestered you to form a party with him as soon as he came online, his name was Yu Qiu.
At the beginning, you agreed to his friend request because of his name.
Ah, what fate ~ Isn't this my destined friend?
You thought so at the time, and you smiled especially brightly.
[No.
Cold, sleepy, lazy, tired.]
You didn't think at all, and your subordinates already typed these words and sent them over.
[Okay then.
By the way, your battle just now was very exciting.]
[I think so too.]
[You're still so narcissistic, do you know how much I won from the bet?]
[Remember to split it equally.
I don't know, how much?]
[… I'm not telling you.]
[Forget it if you don't want to tell me, just remember to split it equally. I'll wait for your transfer.]
[Hey!]
[I'm going offline, my head hurts, bye bye.]
[Head hurts?
Are you okay?
Why did you go offline so quickly??
Hey, hey …]
[… You're really going offline? Bye bye then.]
You closed the message box in high spirits, and instantly felt the fatigue in your body dissipate by more than half. Sure enough, teasing others is the source of your motivation. You happily lay on the sofa and opened the school forum with a smile.
Ah, right, gossip is the second source of your motivation.
As soon as you opened the school forum, you found a post:
[Popular] Does Senior Ebner have a girlfriend?
Wow, what did I find?
You curiously clicked on it, and then …
There was a photo on the main post, and under the photo, it wrote:
Is this Senior Ebner's girlfriend?
Beta or Omega?
You fixed your eyes on it, and the female lead in the photo was actually you.
From the background, it should be a photo of you at the entrance of the dormitory when you said goodbye to Ebner yesterday.
… …
???
Ah, fortunately, I still look good in the photo.
You inexplicably let out a sigh of relief.
On this side, you closed the page indifferently, but on the other side — —
"Hey, Ebner, is this your Omega?"
A brown-haired, brown-eyed boy put his arm around Ebner's shoulder, raised the optical computer on his wrist, and enlarged the photo, and asked casually.
Ebner frowned and looked at the photo. Just as he was about to deny it, he saw the person in the photo.
… …
Eretta?
Ebner's heart seemed to skip a beat, and he inexplicably choked on the words of denial.
"Ah, your reaction!
Really? "The brown-haired boy said in surprise.
"…" Ebner didn't say anything, and just lowered his eyes in silence for a few seconds.
"No."
"She's my sister."
Ebner heard his own answer.
Yes, she's my sister …
