35: Chapter 35 You only pick on the weak, you've been drinking too much Ganges water!

No matter how strong Shen Mo is, he is still just a person. What are you supposed to do when the opponent is cheating?

Having a full team of three-star units is useless.

The damage from a three-star Fiora is incomprehensible; a single area-of-effect splash attack wipes out a whole group instantly.

"Forget it, I won anyway."

Shen Mo was not panicked in the slightest.

In the next round, whether he fights Shalu or Shalu's mirror image,

the opponent has absolutely no chance of beating him.

Even in the worst-case scenario, if Shalu were to win, he still has a margin for error, but Shalu would be finished!

Even if he beat him, Shalu would be taken out directly by Karin.

...

"Won! Hahaha, well done!"

The audience from Dragon Country was thrilled; Shen Mo's strength gave them a great sense of confidence.

Originally, the Dragon Country audience had been in despair.

But Shen Mo was like a ray of sunlight in that despair, directly lighting up their world!

And Shen Mo did not let them down!

Won!

And won again!

50 National Destiny Points!

Hahaha!

What?

You say Shen Mo didn't take first place?

Hey~

Persia is currently an ally of Dragon Country, okay! Karin is beautiful, so what if we let her win a round? We men of Dragon Country are still very gentlemanly at times!

"Dao Ye: Speak up, you hater!"

"Hilarious. When Karin had the three-star Fiora, you were dead silent, Dao Ye, and now you're jumping around again?"

"Come on, come on, someone get Dao Ye a new pair of pants."

The netizens from India were a bit triggered: "...Why, why is Shen Mo so powerful? Shalu clearly already had a three-star Kassadin, yet he still couldn't beat Shen Mo!"

After eliminating two other players using Kassadin, Shalu lived up to expectations and finally reached three stars.

But... it was useless.

Just as Shen Mo had predicted, the three-star Jinx locked onto the target directly. Before the Kassadin front line was even cleared, it was shredded by Jinx's explosive attacks and true damage.

[Gods Arena, Third District, Match 289 ended!]

[Winner: Persia, Karin!]

[Rankings have changed!]

[50th Place: Dragon Country, National Destiny Points: 296!]

[69th Place, Persia, National Destiny Points: 244!]

[...]

As the referee's cold voice rang out, this match where India tried to snipe Shen Mo came to a complete end. In the end, Karin won the game without any suspense using her three-star Fiora.

Shen Mo was second, Shalu was third.

The netizens from India were frustrated, but there was nothing they could do; losing is losing.

Shalu's face was pale.

He suffered a double loss, not only losing a Gold Duel Card but also losing the bet on National Destiny Points!

[Contract effective!]

[Please have India pay 50 National Destiny Points as the bet!]

"Wait... wait a minute!" Shalu quickly spoke up: "Master Referee, I request to pay 25 National Destiny Points. I previously discussed this with the leaders of the Korean Country, and if we lost, they would cover half of these points!"

The audience from India also chimed in: "Yes, yes, yes! The Korean Country promised us!"

"That's right!"

There was nothing to say about this; it was something everyone knew clearly. Half a month ago, the Gods Arena rules changed, and there's no telling how many countries have been forming private alliances.

With India suddenly jumping out to snipe Shen Mo this time, some interested parties had long since figured out what was going on.

Now that the sniping had failed.

India naturally didn't want to pay all the points themselves.

After all, they weren't the Korean Country; their nation only had 95 National Destiny Points in total!

If 50 points were deducted at once... it would absolutely be a catastrophe for India!

"Nonsense!"

The netizens from the Korean Country couldn't sit still, and a high-level leader came down to rebuke: "We never collaborated with India at all. Sniping Shen Mo was entirely India's own decision!"

"That's right! We, the Korean Country, are the fairest nation and would absolutely never wrong India!"

"Yes! India just wants to drag us down with them, talking about some collaboration... Hilarious, what evidence do you have, India? If you have the ability, show us the proof of collaboration!"

The chat suddenly went quiet!

Everyone was shocked by the shamelessness of the Korean Country.

Giant Bear Country: "..."

USA: "..."

Sakura Country: "..."

Dragon Country: "Ooh~?"

Shalu's face flushed red, his vision went dark, and he almost couldn't stand: "You... you Korean Country are shameless! You promised us! How can you deny it!"

Inside the live stream, a man verified as being from the Korean Country appeared.

Park Bushun rubbed his belly, looking gentle: "Young man, you must speak with evidence. Did I promise you anything? What evidence do you have? I could even say that you, India, owe our Korean Country 50 points that you haven't paid."

Seeing that the person in charge came out and denied it, the hope in Shalu's heart collapsed instantly!

His eyes turned red, and he roared at the top of his lungs: "You Korean Country are untrustworthy! Park Bushun! I..."

The referee seemed impatient, waving a hand: "Contract established!"

Above the Gods Arena, a golden light flashed.

[Contract established!]

[Deducting 50 points from India! Current National Destiny Points for India: 45!]

The netizens from India were triggered.

With red eyes, they began to frantically insult the Korean Country, from their ancestors for eighteen generations, to greetings for their elderly mothers, down to certain... ahem, in short, the kind that would be censored if written out.

Shen Mo couldn't help but sigh: This is what a national war is!

Actually, nations are just like this. Don't think that UN meetings are very serious and solemn; if you actually look into it, you'll know it's bullsh*t! Great power negotiations are sometimes no different from two thugs arguing!

UN fights, throwing shoes—these are all child's play.

It's just that before there was no Gods Arena, and everyone still cared about saving face.

But now it's different!

In the face of life and death, what is face?

Can you eat it?

"Lord Shalu is just too kind; he actually trusted the Korean Country!"

"Wuwuwu, we had 50 National Destiny Points deducted, and only 45 are left..."

The people of India collectively collapsed.

The Dragon Country audience was originally quite sympathetic to India's plight.

But the next second...

"It's all Dragon Country's fault! That Shen Mo clearly still had trump cards, Lord Shalu was tricked!"

"That's right! Shen Mo of Dragon Country is too shameless!"

"And that Persia, she clearly doesn't play the Kassadin lineup, why did she take Lord Shalu's pieces!"

"It must have been instigated by that Shen Mo!"

"Too hateful!"

The Indian audience was filled with indignation, with a strong urge to hack Shen Mo into pieces.

This scene left the Dragon Country audience stunned.

???

No.

You were used as a tool by the Korean Country, and when they refused to admit it, you turned around and bit us instead—what is this?

You don't dare to provoke the Korean Country, but you dare to be presumptuous with Dragon Country, right?

Picking on the weak, did you choose Dragon Country?

You must have drunk too much damn Ganges water!

Shen Mo, who had just walked out of the arena, saw this scene and laughed in anger: "Fine, fine, fine! So that's how you want to play!?"

Shen Mo couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense and reached into his pocket!

A golden card appeared in Shen Mo's hand!

[Gold Duel Card (Level dropping...)]

[Durability: 1/3]

[Status: Extremely damaged]

[Gold-tier Exclusive Privilege: Forced Duel. Once the owner initiates a duel request, the opponent cannot refuse, cannot be immune, and cannot be exempted. If the opponent cannot pay the duel bet, the Gods Arena will deduct the equivalent points on their behalf!]

Shen Mo's face was cold, but his voice carried through the live stream to the ears of every netizen: "Say one more word, and I will force another match with Shalu. Come on, keep going, I'm watching...!"

"I've really given you too much face! If you want to die, just say it, and I will fulfill your wish, India!"
