Chapter 311
Chapter 311
The movements of Sung JiHan, who arrived in the United States, received a lot of attention.
Especially because of the live broadcast of the Space League match with the World Tree Elves, the broadcasting team that was already at the BattleNet Center in New York.
During the pre-game broadcast.
They broadcasted live the sight of the US national team players receiving treatment in the center's medical room.
"Oh... The national team players are coming out after receiving treatment from the medical staff!"
"According to the coaching staff, they will participate directly in the Space League!"
"After Sung JiHan, the Korean player, the American players have also been released."
"That's really fortunate. It was a close call!"
"I'm not saying this because I'm American, but the power that the American national team holds in the Space League is considerable! They have been released at a good timing right before the match against the world's number one, World Tree Elves 200!"
The World Tree Elves 200, who are leading the Space League.
The power of humanity, who is facing them, was greatly shaken because of Gilgamesh.
Although Sung JiHan resolved this just before.
"Ah... I wonder if I can properly play in the Space League match."
"My physical condition has recovered, but I'm still mentally fatigued."
The American players, who pretended to be fine until before entering the Space League, showed tired expressions as soon as they entered the waiting room of the Humanity's representative team and re-entered the game.
The Korean national team players were able to rest for two days at least.
But the American players had to immediately participate in the match as soon as they were released.
And...
"Uh... The sponsorship from the King of the Beginning has been cut off, so all the ability bonuses are gone."
"Do you want that thing? It's still Trauman, who only had his neck left at that time."
"No, it's just... like that."
"It's a shame about the bonus. It had a significant effect."
The seat bonus given by the King of the Beginning.
Among the various known seats so far, it was famous for having the highest benefits.
The players whose seat sponsorship was cut off were disappointed about this.
But still...
"Sung JiHan. Can you release me a little too...?"
"I accepted it because the King of the Beginning's seat was so good, but I was surprised when I saw the last final match."
"The bonus is good, but I don't want to be brainwashed."
Among the players from countries other than Korea and the United States, those who received sponsorship from Gilgamesh approached Sung JiHan, who had a solution to this and were amazed after watching the final match.
The number of them is a total of 25.
"I understand. Are there no others except for these people?"
"..."
Sung JiHan looked around at the players other than the 25.
Some of them avoided his gaze.
Then, Sofia, who had been watching from behind, approached Sung JiHan.
"Uh, JiHan. It's strange. That player, Martinez, definitely boasted about it on SNS, but later he scolded JiHan, saying that he must follow the King's orders."
"Oh? Let him come out."
"Uh. Ugh. I, I'm fine! I will continue to serve the King!"
Martinez, who tried to escape from Sung JiHan.
It seemed like he had been loyal to the King for a long time, as if his loyalty to the King had already been deeply ingrained.
"This won't work."
There must be more than just Martinez hiding like that.
This is an opportunity to eliminate the remnants of Gilgamesh hidden among the players of the Space League representative team.
"Everyone, excuse me for a moment."
Sung JiHan started writing the domination code.
He wrote it one by one on the 25 people in front of him, erasing it when Gilgamesh retreated.
"Loya...lty...! Ah. Thank you for releasing me."
"Ah. Se...at. It disappeared!"
"My stats have been greatly reduced...."
After dealing with 25 people, I went to each of the remaining players and used and erased the domination code.
"Ah. I-I'm fine, really?!"
"Ugh. Ugh...! Please. Don't do it! Let me remain loyal to the King!"
Although most of the players here were not players who did not serve the King of the Beginning.
Sung JiHan, however, did not care about this and eliminated the officials of the King of the Beginning to the roots.
"...Uncle, isn't that difficult?"
Yoon SeA asked with a worried expression as she watched Sung JiHan writing and erasing the domination code for each player.
"It's okay."
Sung JiHan finished the work for all the players in the waiting room without getting tired at all.
The amount of life energy used to write the code was enormous.
The power of the 'Eternal' stat compensated for it all.
"It truly deserves the name 'Eternal' stat."
Although the amount of power supply that can be received at maximum is only equivalent to stat 2.
If I bind the Eternal to the Thousand Rivers and Mountains, it will continue to come in.
If the Eternal stat rises to 3.
I can use the life energy equivalent to 3 infinitely within my body.
"But it seems that I can't take the life energy that comes out of the Eternal and put it back in to develop it."
The power that comes out of the Eternal can only be consumed.
It was not possible to store it back in the Eternal and develop the shape of the World Tree.
If that were possible, the Eternal stat would have continued to self-develop.
"Is that why it's an incomplete stat?"
Sung JiHan thought so and released the chain of the Thousand Rivers and Mountains within his body.
"Is the work finished?"
"Yes, it's finished."
"I'm glad. Although our power may have weakened, there won't be much difference in front of the World Tree Elves."
Davis, the coach who approached Sung JiHan, looked around the players.
"There is something I need to tell you all."
"Something to say..."
"As a result of the coaching staff meeting, humanity will not ban or select this time. And..."
* * *
The Space League match has begun.
On the live broadcast screen where all of humanity is watching.
The representative of World Tree Elves 200, who has the same appearance as World Tree Elves 71 from the previous match.
Instead of the Elves, the Elf Representative made a declaration of war first.
"We will definitely execute your first place today."
Public opinion boiled at the Elf's death sentence.
-What are those guys up to again...
-But if they pulled out the ban card, they can't change the game options, right?
-They didn't do the select. They might play a prank with the map at the end.
-No, what kind of game has a map that's so random -_-
One couldn't help but worry when facing an opponent who had been undefeated and ranked first in the league.
-Seeing that they pulled out the ban card, they definitely have a strategy to win the first and second games.
-If Sung JiHan gets banned, our chances of winning are slim.
-So, lose the first and second games, lose the third and fourth games, and then pull out a strange map in the fifth game?
-But even if the game options don't change, how do they execute the death sentence?
-Who knows. Maybe a map like instant death will come out...
-I'm scared that might happen for real, though;
Like the 'Filled' map seen in the recent Champions League finals.
Viewers were terrified of what strange map might come out again.
However.
"I won't just sit back and let it happen quietly."
Director Davis smiled as if he had already expected it.
Instead of the elf referee, who raised an eyebrow at his behavior, he did not take out the ban and select cards given to him.
"You're not taking out your cards."
"We can't afford to fall for your strategy again. It seems like you're summoning a specific map, so we'll save our cards and do the same."
"Oh! Director Davis, you look confident!"
"What's the meaning of saving the cards like this?"
"Ah... It seems like they're collecting select cards like the opponent to designate maps for the five matches! This way, both teams have designated maps, so one of them will be randomly chosen!"
"Ah! So it will be a 50% chance of getting the map of humanity or the map of the World Tree Elves!"
"This is great. It's a great countermeasure!"
Director Davis's countermeasure prepared in preparation for the Great World Tree Elf Battle.
This was one of the scenarios that humanity had already thought of.
"If the World Tree Elves didn't ban the Sung JiHan player, we would have won the game smoothly."
The World Tree Elves, who showed a strong performance in the previous game.
But Sung JiHan was a monster beyond that.
If the World Tree Elves don't use the ban card and select card to execute players like they did last time.
Humanity could have sent Sung JiHan to the front and completely crushed the World Tree Elves.
But.
"They're not fools either. They must have thought that Sung JiHan wouldn't be able to win. Then the card to be drawn is the top-ranked ban. There are two choices here."
To tie up Sung JiHan and do their best to win the game.
Or, play around with the select card again.
The staff of the Space League representative team considered both possibilities and devised a strategy.
If they use both the ban and select cards, we'll do the same.
If they seem to play around with the select card.
"We'll save it too and reduce the probability of selecting a special map to 50%."
Anyway, no matter what map they choose with the select card, humanity cannot defeat the World Tree Elves without Sung JiHan.
So, the strategy analysis room of the Humanity representative team gathered opinions to block their special map select.
Meanwhile, Sung JiHan thought while watching their appearance on the screen.
"It ended like this in my previous life too."
The races that were executed in the World Tree Elves' execution ceremony.
From the next game, they also put down their cards without using them and fought back like this.
Actually, this strategy didn't completely block the World Tree Elves' strategy, so in the end, there was a 50% chance of being executed.
But it was still better than 100%.
However, there was a problem here too.
"By sealing the cards, the elves could never win."
The World Tree Elves were already powerful.
Sealing the strategically important ban and select cards against them, there was a 0% chance of winning in battle.
And.
"The game begins!"
It was the same for the current humanity.
"It's a one-legged map. The player Gomwang will defend at the forefront..."
"Ah... Elf referee! When he reaches out his hand to the sky, meteors fall on a large scale!"
"Still, we're somehow holding on with our shields..."
The collision of the two races on one leg.
The power of the World Tree Elves was overwhelming.
Although humanity had developed a lot since the first game of the Space League.
- Ah, I'm falling behind...
- These damn elves are too strong...
- Ah, my arm got cut off again, but look, it grows back quickly.
- Why are we matched with these crazy creatures? The balance is really...
- Uh, the barrier is breaking... The meteors are falling as they are;
- Wow, but even though the meteors are falling, their legs are fine lolololol. How did Sung JiHan get rid of his legs last time?
- That was Dragon Breath lolol.
- Ah, the neck of the sword king's sword flew off....
- It's over.
The first match exploded quickly.
After that, the director's office is shown on the screen.
"Aren't you going to use the card? Then it'll be like the first match, right?"
Instead of responding, Elf Daesingwan raised the corner of his mouth and said so.
"It's the same even if we use it. Humans still can't defeat monster races like you."
"Hmph... You know the topic."
Director Davis remained unfazed.
Anyway, even if they banned a few of those monster elves, it wouldn't change the game board.
"Still, they held on better than before."
Director Davis considered it a harvest and also held back on using cards in the second match.
Then, the elf once again took out the banned card, ranking first.
= We lose the second match too...!
= The wall of the World Tree Elves is too high.
= Director Davis's judgment seems to be correct. They're not opponents we can defeat by banning them!
= That's right!
Thus, the World Tree Elves lead the Space League match with a score of 2:0.
As they entered the third match, Elf Daesingwan collected the banned card for Sung JiHan and smiled mischievously.
"Tell that monster to come out now."
"Are you planning to lose from now on?"
"I wonder?"
Elf Daesingwan smiled at Director Davis.
Seeing her intentionally releasing Sung JiHan, it seemed like she was determined to go until the fifth match.
Seeing that, Davis also smiled back.
"Let's see where this goes."
And so, the third match began.
= Uh... The lineup is a bit strange.
= Sung JiHan's ban has been lifted for sure.
= Is he not going to play?
= And the main players are not coming out, all of them are second-string...
The commentators were surprised to see the players who represented humanity.
The players who showed up this time were of a lower level even among the national team players.
They were not players who could be selected as starters.
The lineup alone was a surprising situation, but it was just a trap.
"Inventory."
The players who entered the match took out red-glowing daggers from their inventories.
"...Let's go!"
"Yes!"
Thud!
They simultaneously stabbed their own chests.
Flash!
Then, one by one, the players started logging out.
"Oh, no...!"
"The players of the human national team... Th-they're committing suicide!"
The commentators screamed when they saw this.
"He really did it."
Sung JiHan, who couldn't participate in the third match, remembered the director's words a while ago while watching this.
