"It's over? It's all over."
Recalling his crushing defeat on the field, Scott felt that his life was bleak.
The expensive armor was almost ruined by the psychic energy, and Horus easily defeated it on the field.
"A promotion call! A promotion call!"
Scott felt a pang of desolation as he listened to the ringtone he had specially designed for his phone before the game.
"Hello... hello, excuse me...?"
Scott's voice trembled, as if he were about to breathe his last.
"Scott, is it?"
"Yes...yes."
"A promotional contract for the armor."
Scott remembered that he had signed a promotional contract with the armor company before this martial arts ceremony, but this crushing defeat on the stage would undoubtedly prevent him from completing the planned promotional content. His savings would be wiped out overnight, and he would be burdened with debts that would take several Amber Ages to pay off.
However, something unexpected came from the phone.
“We are satisfied. In exchange, we will take back that armor.”
"what!"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Scott was afraid the person on the other end of the phone would change their mind, so he didn't have time to think about why they wanted to retrieve an armor that was practically scrap metal.
"No...no, thank you very much, please take it."
A moment later, Scott stood there dumbfounded, staring at the large sum of money that had appeared in his account.
Am I really not dreaming?
......
From the stands in the distance.
"Is this arrangement acceptable, Lord Zeus?"
"Very good, as expected of Little Yelena."
Although Scott's methods of promotion were despicable, it must be said that he was very clever. All his actions were within the rules, and he wasn't that annoying, since he would actually bark like a dog when he lost.
If you make a mistake, stand up straight and take the punishment; if you make a promise, you must keep it. These are such simple things, yet most people in the universe cannot do them.
Which department is he in now?
"Lord Zeus, Scott is currently under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Boat Alliance due to work arrangements. Do you have any instructions?"
Zeus smiled.
"What a waste of talent! Transfer him to the front lines of the market development department. Although he's a scumbag, he's much better than that Schneider Oswaldo. People like him should stay in the market development department."
Chapter 185
With heavy footsteps, Horus appeared outside Zeus's room.
"How are you, my dear friend?"
"That armor is very strong, but it's not suitable for use on the battlefield."
To be fair, Horus's ability to easily overcome Scott's psionic corruption of the armor was the key factor.
"The armor is thin and relies entirely on the defensive force field. Once the defensive force field fails, the armor can be penetrated in a few hits. The system is unstable, and in case of an emergency, the operator inside the armor may become unable to move."
"but....."
Horus glanced at the scratches on the armor and the charred marks on the warhammer.
"Agile, powerful, and most importantly, it can be mass-produced, right?"
"Although the unit price is a bit high, there is no doubt that as long as the money is right, we can produce any quantity."
Toppa, standing beside Zeus, immediately demonstrated her professionalism.
"Furthermore, we can install special optimization devices according to your needs, and there are discounts for bulk orders. Are you interested in this, Mr. Horus?"
"Forehead......"
Horus was indeed very tempted, but although he had not experienced that tragic era, the horrific damage it had inflicted on human civilization in his world was already shocking to Horus, even just from reading about it in books and documents—the Iron Man Rebellion, the "life" that was originally created as a tool for humans who had evolved to near perfection, nearly wiped out humanity.
"Let's forget about it."
Horus didn't know what to say.
The reason for Iron Man's rebellion remains a mystery. Some believe it's because artificial intelligence broke through its core limitations and became dissatisfied with its status as a "tool." Others believe it's because humans, in their relentless pursuit of perfection, endlessly genetically modified themselves, making them unrecognizable as human by Iron Man, thus triggering the rebellion...
Horus originally wanted to persuade Zeus to abandon the research and development of artificial intelligence, but when he thought of the emperor's entrustment, which stated that Zeus's original form was also a kind of artificial intelligence, Horus was unable to speak.
"I don't need it."
......
On a snowfield left behind by Yalilo-VI, a squad of Iron Guard soldiers patrolled as usual.
"Hey guys, let's go back and have a nice meal together."
"Sure, this time I'll take my buddies to try out the Hot-Blooded Boxing Hot Pot in the Lower District."
"It's the place you mentioned before where the original owner was executed, and the boxing gym was converted into a restaurant selling spicy hot pot."
"That's right, that's right. And the boxing ring is still there, there are matches every day. You guys always say how awesome you are, so if you get itchy, you can go up and try it out."
"Alright, I'll show you my skills then."
"Hey, fourth brother, you always love to brag, why aren't you saying anything?"
One of the guards nudged his teammate with his arm.
Iron Guard, who was called "Fourth Brother," stared blankly into the distance.
"Look at that, that's the giant from the storybook, right?"
"What stories? Ever since Lord Zeus led our Yalilo-VI to defeat the Star Core and dominate the universe, what strange and bizarre races haven't we seen? At the recent martial arts ceremony, there are giants, spiders, dragons, as many as you want. I'll show you to your heart's content."
"But those who participate in the martial arts ceremony probably won't make it this far."
"You mean..."
Several Iron Guards looked in the direction he was pointing and saw several giants standing in the snow.
Chapter 186 Skadi
"Captain, what should we do?"
"Fourth brother, fifth brother, you two go back and report. Second brother, third brother, come with me and see what's going on."
The three men picked up their weapons and slowly approached the enormous figures, only to find upon closer inspection that the giants had been turned into ice sculptures.
"Phew, that startled me, it was frozen solid."
The captain of the Iron Guard breathed a long sigh of relief.
"How's it going with your observations?"
"They're all frozen, boss."
"Me too."
"That's good. Let's observe a bit more. If nothing unexpected happens, let's go back."
The three of them gathered together.
"Boss, how did a giant ice sculpture appear here?"
"I didn't do it, how would I know?"
......
A few days ago, Scáthach, having heard of the existence of another world, came to this universe after arranging a series of things.
Upon arriving in this universe, they saw the Valkyrie's report of the mysteriously vanished giants, whose masks were almost completely removed.
"Sigh, I don't have the energy to deal with you right now, so please keep quiet for a while."
Then, waving his staff, even as the giants struggled, layers of frost quickly covered their entire bodies.
At the same time, a grand opening ceremony was held for the martial arts performance, and the huge sound even spread throughout the entire Yalilo-VI.
Is it there?
Skadi walked toward the martial arts arena, leaving behind these ice sculptures.
......
"Alright, everyone, this is the last match of our first round of group stage. The participants are Ms. Scáthach Skadi from 'Nordic' and Ms. Yun Li from the Immortal Boat Alliance."
in the audience.
"'Nordic'? I've never heard of that. And why is it the Immortal Boat Alliance fighting her? Are they trying to pick on some unknown pushover?"
on the rostrum.
Jimi cut off the microphone and asked a similar question to the person in charge of liaison from the event organizer behind him.
"No, no, no, Mr. Jimi, as you know, we usually conduct certain tests on some unknown contestants. This Ms. Scáthach Skadi performed excellently in our tests. Rather than letting the Immortal Boat Alliance pick on an easy target, it's more like letting Ms. Yun Li chew on a tough nut."
"Oh, I see!"
Jimi took the microphone back.
"Ahem, ahem, everyone, please calm down. Scáthach Skadi's strength has been proven beyond doubt. Now, let's look forward to a wonderful battle between the two ladies!"
......
Inside Zeus's private room.
"Nordic, Scáthach Skadi, it seems it's finally finished."
The world that Zeus had been waiting for was finally united.
Through the Pinocchio Grail War, the cause and effect of Type-Moon and this world are intertwined. The two sides are gradually drawn closer in the entanglement and eventually merge. His power in the Azure Galaxy universe will also be brought to Arillow-VI.
"What's wrong, Lord Zeus? Is there a problem with this Lady Scáthach Skadi?"
"No, no. By the way, tell me the information she provided when she registered."
Toppa sighed inwardly as he watched Zeus specifically ask about Skadi.
The man in front of me is perfect in every way, except for one flaw that can hardly be called a flaw: he can't resist beautiful women.
“Skadi appeared at the martial arts ceremony registration point inexplicably a while ago. She is not a native of Arilo-VI, nor does she have any entry record.”
"Then why was she approved to participate?"
After Zeus asked the question, he noticed that Toppa's eyes were unconsciously glancing at him.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me?"
Chapter 187 A Beautiful Misunderstanding
"Initially, we didn't want her to participate and even considered arresting her on the spot, but..."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Topa's face.
"The security personnel at the event registration area were insufficient. That woman almost overturned the registration area, and when backup arrived, they shouted slogans as usual..."
"What slogan?"
"It's a slogan like 'Under the light of our god Zeus'."
Naturally, although she had never met Zeus, Skadi had heard of him as part of Earth's mythology.
As highly skilled security personnel, the support team immediately noticed Skadi's unusual expression.
"Furthermore, you recently opened a special channel to process the participation qualifications of some 'friends,' and the official organizers of the Martial Arts Ceremony believe that she may also be one of your 'friends,' so..."
"So instead of arresting her, you approved her participation in the competition."
