Chapter 174: Chapter 132: Combat Memory

In the four players, Chen Qi recognized the combined assault tactics commonly used by Order Keepers.

The Superpowers they used confirmed his suspicion. Their abilities were quite focused, proving they were indeed Order Keepers.

As for their opponent, he was a man with a wild, arrogant expression.

’An LV4 leading three LV3s to gang up on a single Traitor?’

As the battle continued, Chen Qi determined the strength of the Order Keepers’ side.

However, he found the Traitor’s strength a bit difficult to gauge.

Based on the battle footage, the Traitor seemed to be fighting with ease, yet the Order Keepers weren’t at a clear disadvantage.

This meant the power gap between them wasn’t insurmountably large. Otherwise, the Order Keepers would have crumbled long ago.

The Traitor couldn’t possibly be an LV6. He was most likely an LV5.

’But shouldn’t an LV5 have already constructed an Apostle Armament?’

Chen Qi had always been incredibly curious about Apostle Armaments.

’If the Traitor in the footage really is an LV5, why isn’t he using his Apostle Armament?’

As the fight dragged on, the tide surprisingly began to turn in the Order Keepers’ favor.

In Superpower battles between players, as long as there wasn’t an absolute gap in strength, numbers truly provided an advantage.

A single person could easily get overwhelmed. Even the weakest Superpower could completely turn the tide if used at a critical moment.

The Traitor in the footage was forcefully restrained for an instant by one of the LV3s and was then hit by an overwhelming barrage of attacks.

After the onslaught, the Traitor looked to be in a terrible state, but he had managed to survive.

This near-death experience seemed to have thoroughly enraged the Traitor. He finally played his trump card.

A blurry, humanoid phantom slowly materialized behind him.

In the next instant, the phantom, now over ten meters tall, gestured as if grabbing the air, and a massive, scorching fireball appeared between its palms.

Chen Qi didn’t know if it was a flaw in Yu Dongcheng’s memory, but the moment the humanoid phantom appeared, the colors in the scene began to fade.

Eventually, all color was stripped from the battlefield, forcibly condensed into that great fireball.

Judging from the image alone, it was no longer just a great fireball. It had become the only Sun on a battlefield shrouded in darkness.

The final moment of the battle was a bloom of endless light.

The footage ended there. Presumably, this was when Yu Dongcheng, who had been spying on the fight, fell unconscious.

...

"Boss, that was the battle I witnessed in my childhood."

"It was real, I’m sure of it. But for some reason, no one else remembers it."

Yu Dongcheng was incredibly agitated. Chen Qi grew pensive. ’Perhaps it’s time for this guy to leave the Lanyu Kingdom.’

Yu Dongcheng’s current state was much like that of Binks; both were struggling to resist the influence of the King’s Game.

"I believe you, and I’d love to continue investing in your project."

"Unfortunately, tragedy strikes when you least expect it. The Prime Minister, with whom I had a good relationship, has been assassinated."

"Getting an operating license for a virtual game in the Lanyu Kingdom is definitely out of the question for the foreseeable future!"

Chen Qi wore a sorrowful expression. Yu Dongcheng, who had been so agitated just a moment ago, looked as though he’d been plunged into liquid nitrogen; he froze completely.

"Don’t worry, I still have high hopes for you all."

"That’s why I’ve decided to continue investing in you. It just can’t be in the Lanyu Kingdom anymore."

"I have a good friend who is currently in the Lideta Kingdom."

"According to my sources, the Lideta Kingdom is about to approve its participation in the Second World project."

"That’s where the real opportunities are for us."

Chen Qi briefly mentioned Westin’s background. Upon learning that this new contact was the son-in-law of the Minister of Finance, Yu Dongcheng and his men felt as though they’d gone from Hell straight to Heaven.

Of course, Yu Dongcheng didn’t consider himself so materialistic; they just yearned for the chance to join the Second World.

Since coming to the Lanyu Kingdom, his team had been incredibly stifled.

If not for a strange feeling that made him feel an incredible attachment to this place, he would have left long ago.

’Thanks to his benevolent boss, he now finally had a reason to leave.’
