Manalasuo's recess room was silent . The amazing Manalasuo Empire had actually been eliminated from the IG in such a painful fashion . And their champion had fought the equivalent of the Battle of Waterloo in his first time representing the country . To this stoic but enthusiastic youth, this was a devastating blow indeed .
The door opened, and Lieutenant General Bole entered . Bole waved his hand for everyone else to leave, and the team members quietly filed out . They knew that the general wanted to talk to Vincent . Vincent was the most favored soldier by the military . His talent and effort, as well as his fanatical knowledge of mecha, were all key factors in greatness . Bole saw these in him .
Seeing Bole, Vincent stood up . After simple treatment, his injuries were largely on the mend . "General . "
Bole smiled slightly . "Sit . "
Looking at Vincent, Bole was still quite satisfied . "Collected yourself?"
"Yes, Sir! They are indeed very strong, but not invulnerable!"
"Failure isn't the end of the world . It's good to suffer some setbacks when you're young . Look at the history of mankind . Only those who went through the worst difficulties truly achieved greatness . This is but a start . All of you are still young, and the important thing is to pick yourself up every time you fall," Bole said . As Manalasuo's Lieutenant General, he could afford to be less picky about things like failure and success . Even if he would suffer all kinds of questioning and criticism once they returned home . Life was just like that .
"General, since we have proven that the Golden Wheel mech can be used, rest assured that I will train in it the moment I return!" Vincent said . Unquestionably, he was a professional . One battle with Wang Zheng had helped him to realize the power of Golden Wheel mech . Although the Radiant Wheel King was supposed to be the evolved form of the Golden Wheel mech, on second thought, it simply used some technological novelties to cover the weaknesses . The Golden Wheel's essential concept was the infinite attacks of the golden wheels . When it came down to it, Radiant Wheel King simply had a similar attack shape . Retrospectively, it was precisely because the attack method changed . The high speed advance and superconductor radiant wheels were technological advancements . This had changed the concept of the mech completely .
You could fool others, but not yourself .
Bole nodded . "Your way of thinking reflects well upon you . I was not too sure at the start, but seeing you now, there's something that you are ready to see . "
"Is it that he passed the rank test?" Vincent asked . He had reverted to the calm Vincent, his thoughts clear . That he was able to put the whole thing behind him so quickly was because victory and defeat were secondary to him . The most important was the knowledge of mecha . Defeat was hard to swallow, but thinking of the Golden Wheel mech's terrifying power, a new door had opened where there was nothing but walls before . It was agony, yet also an eagerness to try it out .
Bole shook his head slightly . "S-rank . "
"S-rank? There's such a rank?"
"It's the highest difficulty . The chances of it are one in a thousand, but he got it . And he passed it . "
Bole opened the Skylink . Although it was classified, as long as he did not publicize it, they could afford to close an eye . Such a video before the battle would do no good . But now they had lost, and Manalasuo was about to head home as well . There was a need for Vincent to know his opponent's true strength, because this would be the strongest motivator for him .
As the Skylink bloomed, Bole knew that it was definitely not just him who had secretly procured the footage, just that everybody else had kept it low-key as well .
Time passed . From the start to the very end, Vincent sat completely still . No matter how many times he watched it, the shock was still the same . He simply felt a tinge of pity that such a person was not from Manalasuo .
Vincent's expression was honestly laid out . From shock, to surprise, to horror, and finally… peace .
"Understood?" Bole said .
Vincent stood up, snapping into a sincere salute . "Yes, Sir!"
Bole's expression was inscrutable . "I don't know if it's a good thing or not . The Golden Wheel mech is really an unstoppable killing god, and perhaps our most successful mech to date, but we don't use it ourselves . Isn't that a pity?"
"General, I swear that I will definitely train with the Golden Wheel mech, and also find a way to make it popular . "
Bole smiled . "Very well . Set your heart to it and learn as much as you can . This IG has been very interesting . But for the Solar System… I'm afraid the next stage will be nigh impossible to pass . "
Vincent was taken aback for a moment . Such a team had the ability to put up a fight against anybody . How… Suddenly, Vincent knew who their next opponent was . It was a team that did not even leave you a window to bring your ability to bear – the Darkness Empire team!
The IG top 16 had now been decided . The strongest 16 teams in the Milky Way . They had been tested in all ways, and were undisputedly strong .
Zone A
Aslan Empire team, Astina Federation team .
As one of the strongest countries among mankind, Aslan had always been the target to chase . Strong in all aspects, and being the host of this IG, they had home ground advantage . Furthermore, they had a genius that was said to come along only once every 50 years . And now there were two, on their home turf . Aslan had their eyes on the prize .
Astina Federation team, an old hand and strong team . This was a federation that loved competition . From life to military, they lived exciting lives, full of ups and downs . Their fluctuations were huge, but this year was a surge, and their members passionate . The Astina Federation's military power was regarded as mid-tier within the Milky Way, but they had brought talented and passionate geniuses this time, and were a peak team .
Zone B
Atlantis team, Sirius Star team .
Atlantis went without saying . They had always been unbeatable . Any member in any other team could have easily become captain, while the Atlantean twin champions were even stronger . The only description for Atlantis was: always mimicked, never surpassed .
Sirius Star Empire . A country with huge attack power and ambitions to match . Their strength was considerable, but they were limited in resources and population, and had until now been unable to reach the peak . But their attack power was nothing to sneeze at . The Sirius Star people's innate abilities were considerable, perhaps because they had taken in some of the local aborigines . When humans combined with other types, they mutated and created many new tributaries . The Sirius Star was one of them, and the Sirius Star's "rest when we die" battle attitude was unique . In their history of battles, they had never been taken captive .
Zone C
Ghana Star team, Darkness Empire team .
Ghana Star, a planet that was a classic multi-tribe mix . Mankind, Naga, and Caucans all lived together, and it had resulted in a unique manner . Because they had always been living in chaos and war, their battle strength was amazing . Raising troops was secondary to training troops, and training troops was secondary to actual war . The Ghana Star's unique beast-type mecha was something that could never be copied .
Darkness Empire team . On their planet, they only had an hour of daylight in a 24 hour period, and the light was weak . But they were booming, a very unique planet . Logically, such a country was very suited for tourism, such as night life . But in reality, the Empire possessed huge ambitions for invasion . Their culture believed that darkness symbolized eternity . The world belonged to darkness, and light was but a decoration . They had once hoped to take a place amongst the likes of Aslan and Arbiter, but had been foiled by Keelung . In the last few decades, their strength had surged, and were now unstoppable . In this team, Sloughberg Bonthe was hailed as the star of Darkness . In their national conversations, he was regarded as capable of leading the Darkness Empire towards glory .
Zone D
Solar System Federation team, Caragal Star System team .
… This was an outcome that nobody would have dreamed of before the competition . That these two teams had actually emerged from Zone D, and the Solar System team had actually beaten Manalasuo and was now regarded as a possible candidate to take the win .
To take the win . A phrase that drew the eye .
Zone E
Arbiter Empire team, Maya Empire team .
The Arbiter Empire team was one of the strongest . Olivios was also hailed as the strongest in this iteration . From their performance to date, Olivios was well favored to obtain the best captain title for this IG . As with Aslan, they too had their eyes on the championship .
Maya Empire team . One of the lost civilizations rediscovered in the Star Voyager era . Maya Empire was strong, but different from Atlantis . The Maya Empire had ambitious dreams for expansion, and were much stronger than humans . The only problem was, they had encountered the second Secret Era of human expansion, and met with an indomitable king . In the end, they were forced to submit . At that time, a human could not actually have hoped to compete with Maya Empire .
Zone F
Lya Sphinx Republic team, Hail Cloud Alliance team .
The Lya Sphinx Republic was one of the permanent governing members of the Milky Way, a strong experienced country . Their foreign relations were cordial, and they held substantial influence in matters both military and economic . Their only fault was that they were a stickler for the rules, but it was precisely because of that that Lya Sphinx Republic were prosperous, and frequently made it to the top 8 .
Hail Cloud Alliance team . Hail Cloud Alliance's three planets had been covered in glacial ice for thousands of years . But what was marvelous was that this was extremely beneficial to human existence . The temperature below and above the ice layer was wonderfully suspended . Here, mankind had built a world made of ice that was unparalleled . It was a famous tourist hotspot, and the Hail Cloud beauties were also famous for their frosty beauty and equally warm passion .
Out of their 12 members, they had six female fighters, the highest amount in IG .
Zone G
Gemini Star team, Immortal Barbarian Star team .
The Gemini Star had very strong gravity . Because of that, their people had a shorter stature, but their constitution was much stronger than those of the Norton Star . This was assumed to be linked to the planet's vitality . They were also a frequent presence in the top 8, an undoubtedly strong force .
The Immortal Barbarian Star was entering the top 16 for the first time as well . It was deemed as an upset that was neither groundbreaking nor expected . In the second round, they had acquitted themselves well . They had restrained the Spaceflight Star well . The Spaceflight Star had been unable to bring their telepathic abilities to bear… who would have thought that the top 32 battles had no group battle?
Zone H
Maacah Republic team, Earthworm Federation team .
The Macaah Republic was also 1 of the 10 permanent governing members . Their national strength had been on the decline in recent years, but a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse . They had still made their way into the top 16 without too much trouble .
The Earthworm Federation team was traditionally a strong team . On their mother planet, Earthworm Star, they had the most fantastic tunnel architecture, a majestic view that stretched from the surface to the mountains . The Earthworm people were also mixed, but not the caste system found on the Ghana Star . Here they lived equitably, a model example of peaceful coexistence between mankind and other alien races .
