100: Champion MVP – Lu Haodong

Five kilometers away, on the city wall, Lu Haodong's Sniper God Mecha was precisely positioned at the optimal sniping point, unmoving.

His breathing was so steady it was almost imperceptible, his finger lightly resting on the trigger. In the holographic scope, the exposed core of the Dark Crow pulsed with dangerous red light.

"Lock acquired," he muttered in a low voice, a cruel curve forming on his lips.

As the trigger was pulled, a specially designed anti-matter sniper round exited the barrel at three times the speed of sound, leaving a distorted trajectory in the air.

"Bang!"

The bullet accurately struck the Dark Crow's core, and black energy exploded in the air like ink.

The scattered crows instantly turned to ash, and the Dark Crow's main body let out a mournful shriek before bursting apart like a punctured balloon, black flesh and mechanical parts raining down on the battlefield.

"Haha, too easy!" Cheng Xue excitedly waved her mecha arm, her Human Weapon automatically reloading for the next round.

Chen Xu, Zhang Ye, Shen Nanzhi, and the others were also thrilled.

Chen Xu's shadow blade mecha extended its high-frequency vibrating blade, suddenly feeling that this battle might not be as difficult as he had imagined.

Confidence surged through him like a tide, and he began to ponder which Demon General to target next.

However.

Just as this joy of victory had not yet extended to the next second.

"Ah!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream.

Everyone turned in horror, only to see Lu Haodong's Sniper God Mecha on the city wall twitching strangely.

The distorted figure of the Ash Demon had, at some unknown point, infiltrated the mecha's interior, its translucent gray body seeping through every crack like liquid.

"Lu Haodong!" Cheng Xue's voice was distorted with terror.

The Ash Demon solidified within the cockpit, a grotesque "smile" splitting across its featureless face.

Its body suddenly burst into thousands of hair-thin gray needles, piercing the entire cockpit from within, turning it into a sieve.

Blood seeped from the mecha's joint seams, glowing an eerie purplish-red.

"Lu Haodong!" Everyone cried out in grief, but the communication channel was filled only with the horrifying sound of tearing flesh.

Lu Haodong vaguely heard deafening cheers.

On the stage of the 2025 Valorant Global Finals, the excited voice of the host resounded throughout the arena: "Grand Champion MVP — Lu Haodong!"

Under the spotlight, the gleaming trophy awaited him.

"I won..." Lu Haodong whispered softly, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

His fingers twitched one last time, as if trying to grasp something.

In the last second before darkness descended, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, frozen in a satisfied smile.

Boom!

Lu Haodong detonated his mecha.

The shockwave from the explosion blew away all building debris within a hundred-meter radius.

However, the Ash Demon had already dissipated into a wisp of gray smoke before the explosion.

"Foolish humans, thinking this metal shell can block my attacks." The Ash Demon's chilling voice came from all directions, as if a thousand voices were whispering in everyone's ears.

The voice carried a horrifying mockery, like a venomous snake slithering into everyone's ears: "Your mechas are nothing more than slightly sturdier coffins..."

"Damn it!" Chen Xu roared, his shadow blade mecha erupting with extreme speed, its high-frequency vibrating blade leaving dozens of afterimages in the air.

The mecha's power core hummed with an unbearable strain.

"I'm going to kill that bastard!" He roared, about to charge in the direction of the voice.

"Stop!" Zhang Ye blocked Chen Xu's path, his heavy mechanical arm clamping down on the shadow blade mecha's shoulder armor, emitting a harsh screech of metal friction amidst sparks.

"Calm down! Do you want to die? Everyone, listen up, gather immediately! Back-to-back defensive formation! That Ash Demon can directly infiltrate mechas! You absolutely cannot be alone!"

Just as everyone quickly assembled, the ground trembled violently.

Four terrifying presences surged towards them—

The Flame Demon, its body flowing with lava, leaving burning footprints with every step;

The Bone Demon's body was composed of countless sharp bone spikes, emitting a grating friction sound as it moved;

The Blood Demon transformed into a churning blood mist, corroding metal in its wake, leaving it riddled with holes;

The Gluttony Demon's distorted maw almost occupied half its body, viscous saliva dripping to the ground, immediately corroding deep pits.

"I'll hold them off!" Zhang Ye's heavy fist erupted with dazzling golden light, and he unhesitatingly met the four Demon Generals.

His heavy fist collided with the Flame Demon's lava giant fist, producing a deafening roar, the shockwave cracking the surrounding ground.

But the pressure of fighting four against one was too great, and Zhang Ye's mecha began to emit dangerous warning sounds; its left leg hydraulic System was already leaking.

"I'll help you!"

Liu Yang's Bulwark Mecha charged from the flank, this mecha, designed specifically for defense, deploying all its shield generators.

With a hum of mechanical operation, twelve energy wall shields unfolded in layers before them, each shield shimmering with a pale blue light.

"Full defense System activated!" Liu Yang gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, his mecha sparking with electricity from overload.

The attacks of the four Demon Generals poured down like a torrential rain.

The Flame Demon's lava fireballs, the Bone Demon's spike storm, the Blood Demon's corrosive blood arrows, the Gluttony Demon's devouring vortex — these deadly attacks continuously bombarded the energy wall shields.

Boom boom boom! One wall shield after another shattered under the terrifying attacks, the light of the explosions illuminating the entire battlefield as if it were daylight.

A trace of blood had already seeped from Liu Yang's lips, but he still desperately held up the last few shields, buying precious output time for his companions.

"Taste my Hundred Flowers Burst!" He Wei's "Scent Corrosion Mecha" cut into the battlefield, perfume spreading, the rich floral scent instantly overpowering the Demon Generals' putrid stench.

Her shoulder's "Hundred Flowers Rotary Wing" spun at high speed, spraying fine perfume crystals — these crystals, made from rare orchid extracts, ignited upon contact with oxygen, drawing golden lines of fire in the air.

The Glutton's cavernous mouth snapped shut, attempting to swallow the fragrant mist.

He Wei sneered, her wrist-mounted "Butterfly Blade" crystal short blades cut through the air, impaling a scent mist bomb into the Glutton's throat.

"Explode!"

With a deafening roar, the Glutton's upper body exploded in a colorful blaze, the floral scent and putrid stench violently clashing, forming a visible energy turbulence.

But this Demon General's belly suddenly swelled, absorbing all the explosion energy, and it re-condensed its incomplete upper body, still chewing on fragments of He Wei's mecha.

"No!" He Wei's mecha was caught by the Glutton's tongue, about to be swallowed.

Swish swish swish!

108 streaks of cyan sword light cut through the sky, precisely severing the crimson long tongue wrapped around He Wei's Scent Corrosion Mecha. The Gluttony Demon let out a painful roar, and foul black liquid sprayed from the severed root of its tongue.

He Wei looked at him with tender affection: "You old Daoist priest, you still knew to save me! I almost died!"

Li Changqing's Xuan Tian Mecha descended from the sky, stepping in the Bagua footwork.

It seemed the two had a history.

Women would only affect Li Changqing's sword-drawing speed; he didn't even glance at He Wei.

"Qiankun Borrowed Law!" Li Changqing let out a clear shout, and the 108 light swords suddenly merged into one, forming a ten-meter-long giant sword that, with the force to split mountains and break peaks, slashed towards the Gluttony Demon's distorted giant maw.
