Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 817 - 590 The Secret of Eternal Night City_2

For the cities participating in the competition, War God had been keeping a close watch.

Every powerful individual was regarded by him as a potential ally.

"Eternal Night City." Bai E said decisively.

"I think so too." War God nodded, his gaze falling on one of the figures stepping into the team battle for Eternal Night City. "Though I've never fought their leader, I have a feeling he's very formidable. Judging by their style, their warriors excel more at team battles. The fighters from Beast Fury Isle, even in team fights, act like they're in solo matches—there's zero coordination."

"Then why didn't you go have a chat with him?" Bai E asked with a smile.

"Couldn't strike up a conversation..." War God laughed awkwardly. "For some reason, he gives off this cold and distant vibe, like he's someone difficult to get along with."

"Of course he's not someone easy to interact with." Bai E also looked at the figure on the stage, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.

As that figure stepped onto the stage, Bai E's Bug Race Bane alert surged to an almost unbearable intensity.

Regardless of whether the opponent was human or Bug, Bai E, driven by the overpowering instincts of Bug Race Bane, had already subconsciously marked him as an absolute enemy.

And, as expected, even though Eternal Night City had narrowly lost the singles match 2-3, once the team battle began, their warriors immediately adopted a devouring tactic, swarming and slaughtering Beast Fury Isle's fighters one by one...

The imperial capital's security officer monitoring the match on the sidelines couldn't even intervene—after all, no matter which side's combatants it was, they seemed to actively prevent him from stepping into the fray.

In the end, as the last warrior from Beast Fury Isle finally gasped his last breath, the five blood-soaked fighters from Eternal Night City stood tall. Among them, their leader was especially grotesque, his entire figure as if he had crawled out of a pool of blood. Even after their victory, he was still licking the blood around his lips.

'The combatants from Beast Fury Isle aren't bad.' Bai E silently assessed in his heart.

Just like the warriors from Tech City and Thousand Facet City, they each possessed unique strengths and distinct combat styles. When it came time to recruit soldiers later, it might be worth considering forming a special battle unit centered around their fighters.

But right now... the issue to address first was Eternal Night City.

"During the exhibition match, let us face them." Bai E said softly to War God beside him.

"They're not easy to deal with!" War God stared intently at Bai E, his tone tinged with surprise. "Even though you all have those deep-blue battle armors, they seem to have more specialized techniques. I'm afraid your warriors..."

In the just-concluded team match, the two of them had observed with clarity that even against Beast Fury Isle's captain, the fighters from Eternal Night City had struggled greatly.

If it hadn't been for that critical moment where a sharp claw blade emerged, Beast Fury Isle's captain wouldn't have gone down so quickly.

And where that claw blade had come from—a blade that appeared and disappeared in a flash—even Bai E and War God had failed to identify its origin.

It was just like Blackwater City's Storm Armor—its appearances had been too rare, making it difficult to discern its functions or limitations.

"No problem, we'll take care of it."

War God gazed at the side of Bai E's face, nodding slowly. "Alright, I was planning to personally step in and face him, but since you're so insistent, I'll leave him to you. Don't lose though, okay?"

An exhibition match was not a formal contest.

After the cities with the top group-stage scores emerged victorious, the five Supreme Council seats were already decided.

But whether to instill confidence and prestige or to create a subconscious hierarchy among the five Supreme Council cities, everyone was eager to crown a definitive "first place."

Which explained why some cities had vehemently demanded that the imperial capital also participate in the competition.

They wanted to prove... they were not inferior to the imperial capital!

Finally, under the expectation of all, the imperial capital's host announced the final results. "Congratulations to the following five cities for earning seats in the Supreme Council! These five cities are: the Imperial Capital, Tech City, Thousand Facet City, Blackwater City, and Eternal Night City! Up next, the victorious five cities will participate in an exhibition match to showcase their strength to everyone. Please note, the exhibition match does not impact rankings or reputation, and exists solely for performance purposes. Let us not take it too seriously."

"The first match: Blackwater City versus Eternal Night City!"

After the clashes in the group stage, every city had developed a clear understanding of Blackwater City's strength.

This lot had been intentionally holding back during the regional matches, but they went on to sweep every opponent in the group stage.

But if their opponent was Eternal Night City...

"This time they'll finally bring out their battle armor, won't they?"

"Those maniacs from Eternal Night City are truly insane."

"Just being stared at by one of them gives me chills. It seems like none of their opponents ever make it out alive in their victories."

But when the five deep-blue battle armors appeared on the stage, an uncontrollable wave of fear churned in the hearts of all the spectators.

"Holy shit! I have a bad feeling about this."

"Don't tell me these bastards can use their armors whenever they want."

"They're already terrifyingly strong as it is, and if they can freely use their armor, Blackwater City is the real final boss here!"

"Maybe they just want to finish it quickly. Even Beast Fury Isle, as strong as they were, couldn't win against Eternal Night City in a team battle. If they'd put in a bit more effort during the individual matches and scored 4:1, they wouldn't have even needed the team battle. I think Blackwater City is aiming for that too—winning 4:1 in the individual matches is simpler than securing a team victory."

"If it's that easy, you go do it."

"If I could, I wouldn't be here talking to you."

"You son of a..."

Since it was an exhibition match, with no time constraints, everyone had ample time to prepare.

Through the communications channel, Bai E reminded the five participating warriors, "Their fighters are likely no match for you. Watch your pacing—don't win all the matches. Keep it at 2:3 or 3:2; I want to examine their leader's role in the team battle."

"Understood!"

The five warriors in the battle armor exchanged looks, quickly deciding which two among them would concede at the final moment.

Once all the fighters on both sides were ready, the imperial capital's host announced the commencement with a booming voice.

"Exhibition match, officially begin!"

The five deep-blue battle armors sprang to life instantly, leaving only blurry afterimages in most onlookers' vision.

With nearly half the speed of sound, they closed the expansive arena in an instant. Heeding their city lord's orders, they refrained from using the Dynamic Source Sword and instead aimed a punch right at their targets' chests.

"Bang!"

Simultaneous sounds of impact reverberated through the arena as the five fighters from Eternal Night City were sent flying back a dozen meters!

However, their tenacity showed as they quickly scrambled back to their feet, wiping the blood trickling from their mouths.

Overwhelming dominance!

The re-engagement of the deep-blue armor fighters created even more spectacular and shocking visuals.

The Eternal Night City fighters, who had maintained an undefeated streak up until this point, couldn't even withstand a single punch against Blackwater City's warriors. This frightening performance displayed an unquestionable supremacy.

"They haven't even used their special weapon!" fгeewebnovёl.com

"Unreal speed and power—how are Blackwater City's fighters achieving this? Even if the machines can handle it, how are the humans inside enduring such extreme acceleration?!"

Even the imperial capital's observers looked stunned. "Blackwater City's technological capabilities... they're quite formidable."

Yet no matter what others speculated, the match, a one-sided spectacle, continued uninterrupted.

As three pre-arranged warriors executed their opponents by decapitating them with their swords, the other two fighters severely wounded their opponents before making an unexpected move...

"We surrender!"

The declaration triggered an uproar throughout the audience.

These Blackwater City fighters... were simply too arrogant!
