FATE: Target of Grand Master

Good evening, everyone.

Kun Kun stood on the luxurious stage in the center of the 8-seat stadium and began his opening remarks to the packed audience.

"Tonight we will witness the birth of the number one idol group. Will the music maestro continue to defend his throne, or will GxQxG idol group succeed in the challenge and become the new king? Let's wait and see."

"This final will be held in the form of a concert. Both idol groups will each perform 3 solo singles and 2 group songs. The final result will be determined by comparing the votes for the 5 songs performed by both groups, which is a best-of-five series. Without further ado, let's first welcome the music maestro."

The four idols of the music maestro took the stage together and performed their group song, opening with a bang that instantly ignited the atmosphere.

The final round adopted the order of group songs, individual singles, individual singles, and group songs. Although GxQxG idol group also delivered a wonderful opening with their group song, they were outnumbered by the music maestro and lost the first round.

"This is just the beginning, don't rush. Next up are three consecutive solo singles by the three of you. Don't worry about the votes, just show your best on stage."

When Yuri and the other two saw the results, Xia Yan immediately encouraged the team.

Following that, in the second and third rounds, Shuten-dōji and Maeve faced off against Silent Hassan and Nitocris respectively. The results of the two matches were mixed, with Shuten-dōji winning against Silent Hassan, but Maeve losing to Nitocris by a very narrow margin. GxQxG Idol Group was still trailing with a total score of 1:2.

Xia Yan hurriedly arranged for Cú Chulainn to comfort the unwilling Maeve, while he himself stayed by Euryale's side.

The next match has reached the opponent's match point, and Xia Yan's side has no way out.

"Eureka, enjoy Yu's performance."

Before going on stage, Nero said this to Euryale. Although Xia Yan felt that Nero had no intention of psychological warfare, he still put a lot of pressure on Euryale.

To make matters worse, Nero's singing voice was surprisingly pleasant.

Although Xia Yan had already seen Nero's performance in the previous recordings, he still couldn't help but marvel at the power of the rules of this world, which could actually correct His Majesty Nero's sense of music.

"Your Majesty, my heart belongs to you!"

"Your Majesty Nero, please sing one more! I'll do anything for you!"

His Majesty Nero's solo single, "The Arrogant and Spoiled Rhapsody," captivated almost all the viewers.

After the song ended, judging from Nero's performance and the audience's feedback, Xia Yan was certain that Nero would receive a high number of votes.

"Xia Yan, I'm going to put on my new spirit robe here."

Euryale made her decision halfway through Nero's performance.

Xia Yan nodded, signaling Morgan to prepare the magic trick together.

Euryale chose her original single to take the stage, but unlike the original, the melody sped up after the first chorus. At the same time, a white curtain descended from the sky, enveloping Euryale on the stage.

Just as the audience below the stage was wondering what was going on, the stage lights shone on the white curtain, revealing Euryale's petite figure. In front of 8 audience members, Euryale boldly changed her clothes on stage.

In just over ten seconds, the white curtain fell, and Euryale stood on the stage in her brand-new spirit costume.

It was an outfit as cool as a swimsuit, with two colorful flower wreaths wrapped around her upper body, and a blue and white striped scarf tied with a large bow to hold the half-revealed night sky-colored long dress in place. Paired with a huge white lily headdress and the effect of scattered petals, it perfectly embodied the ethereal beauty of the goddess Euryale.

Wow! So beautiful!

"This is my goddess!"

"Where can I buy merchandise related to this new spirit costume? I want to buy ten sets! Preferably the kind where the costumes are detachable!"

The audience members couldn't help but praise him, and some even made slightly perverse remarks.

The performance continued, with Euryale singing and dancing in her new costume. The cool feel of the new costume, combined with the cheerful melody, made the audience's light sticks dance along.

Morgan used some kind of magic, but the flowers on the two flower wreaths on Euryale's upper body kept scattering petals, and new flowers would bloom after they were all scattered, as if they had come to life.

In this way, even without Merlin, the petal effect never stopped until the song ended.

"Thank you for your performance, Euryale. Now, let's welcome His Majesty Nero once again."

Under the guidance of Kun Kun, Nero took the stage again.

"I really enjoyed your performance just now."

Nero delivered his acceptance speech immediately after taking office.

"Is that so? Well, thank you very much. However, I don't like it when you always talk to me in a superior tone. It's not too late to praise your opponent after the results of the competition are in."

Nero tilted his head, still unable to understand why Euryale was unhappy, but their attention was quickly diverted by Kun Kun's words.

"The fourth round of voting has ended. Now let's witness the outcome together. Will Her Majesty Nero win and defend the status of the Music Masters' number one idol group, or will Euryale win and give the GxQxG idol group hope of dethroning the Music Masters?"

代表两人的人气柱同步攀升，70000、75000、78000、79000、79500、79800，两人的人气柱同时达到了79900却还是没有分出胜负。

"Unbelievable! I've never seen such a high number of unanimous votes in my entire hosting career."

The two candidates received 79950 and 79980 votes, respectively, at almost the same time.

Everyone looked at the two numbers on the big screen: 79986 and 79987.

"One vote! The two are separated by only one vote!"

Kun Kun spoke for everyone present.

"Even so, the contest has come to a conclusion. Let us congratulate Miss Euryale for defeating His Majesty Nero, who has never been defeated before, by a single vote!"

"Hmm. Well done."

Nero showed no displeasure at losing by a mere one vote; instead, he generously extended his hand.

Euryale naturally reached out and shook hands, but unexpectedly Nero pulled her forcefully into his arms, then said to the audience below the stage: "This is my time for a big giveaway, those who want to take pictures should hurry up."

Euryale hadn't recovered from Nero's surprise attack and just let Nero hold her.

"Nero-sama is the best!"

Immediately, the sound of camera shutters clicking filled the air below the stage.

Seeing this, Kun Kun didn't stop them immediately. Instead, he let the audience film for a minute before speaking and signaling the two idols to leave the stage to prepare for the final performance.

After regaining her senses, Euryale tried to struggle, but Nero held her firmly. After all, a Strength D could easily suppress a Strength E.

"Waaah... Xia Yan, I'm not clean anymore..."

After stepping off the stage, Euryale hugged Xia Yan tearfully, seeking comfort.

Although Xia Yan knew Euryale was doing it on purpose, he still indulged the little girl and whispered in her ear, "You'd better do your best in the final round. Whether Nero's move to win people over was intentional or unintentional, it has already started to garner favor with the audience in the final round of voting."

"Okay, I understand. We'll do our best!"
