76: Chapter 77 You weren't wrong, you were just... scared!
Crimson thunder raged. Amidst the howling wind and heavy rain, a figure stood on the Gods Arena and roared: "Come at me!!"
Shen Mo was furious!
The humiliation of Dragon Country for eleven years seemed to be settled at this moment!
Four countries joining forces, huh... Can you block my path forward!
You... can you block it!
Blood splattered. The massive body of Dark Volibear was like a mountain. Bathed under the thunder, Honeymancy was instantly melted, and the three-star Veigar didn't even have a chance to fight back before being pierced by the thunder!
Xu Shijun slumped on the ground with dull eyes, still muttering: "No... impossible..."
In the command room, Park Bushun was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the scene on the Gods Arena. Those subordinates all lowered their heads, no longer possessing their previous arrogance.
Silence!
They were all trembling, their eyes filled with shock, confusion, and fear...
"Is this the true power of Dragon Country..."
At this moment, they felt that time passed so slowly; one second felt as long as a century!
[Stage 6-1, match over!]
[Dragon Country vs. South Korea, Dragon Country wins!]
[South Korea, Xu Shijun, eliminated!]
Finally.
With the referee's cold verdict, everyone from South Korea let out a collective sigh of relief... The rampage... was over!
In the live stream, countless South Korean viewers trembled in fear: "Dragon Country... are they this strong? What kind of people are we fighting against! First it was Ten Dimensions, and what is this now..."
"How many more trump cards does Dragon Country have? Our strongest player has been defeated!"
A word woke the dreamer; South Korean viewers instantly felt their scalps tingle, and a huge sense of fear rushed into their hearts!
That's right.
Xu Shijun was their country's strongest player, at least for this season. Despite this, the gap between them and Dragon Country, between them and Shen Mo, had already become so large. Did they still want to continue being arrogant?
Their originally dull eyes suddenly became clear. If Dragon Country were to turn around and target them... The South Korean viewers shuddered violently; they didn't even dare to imagine the consequences!
"Dragon Country! We admit defeat! We acknowledge your strength!"
"Yes, spare us. We in South Korea guarantee that we will never be enemies with Dragon Country in the future!"
South Korea couldn't hold it together anymore and began to beg for mercy one after another.
"We were wrong. We shouldn't have targeted Dragon Country. Give us a chance; everyone is on the Gods Arena!"
"This time, we will absolutely not cause trouble for Dragon Country again..."
Cries and pleas for mercy were endless!
The footsteps of Dragon Country were already unstoppable. Shen Mo was bound to break into the top ten. But what about next? Who knew what kind of storm this guy would stir up? There were still two weeks left until the matchmaking competition ended...
If Shen Mo madly targeted them, there was no guarantee they could hold out for long!
The live stream comments reached the Gods Arena.
Xu Shijun's face was pale as he looked up at the man high above!
The wind and rain soaked his clothes.
His hair covered his face, but Xu Shijun knew that the other person must be looking at him!
"Kneel."
Two indifferent words were spoken from the man's mouth.
Xu Shijun's expression immediately became extremely ugly!
"Shen Mo... how dare you humiliate me like this!"
However, just as he finished speaking, the live stream comments were surprisingly unanimous!
"Shijun, why don't you just kneel? Anyway, we've already lost. Kneeling to the strong is not shameful!"
"Yeah! As long as Dragon Country doesn't target us anymore, kneeling once shouldn't be a big deal..."
"Targeting Dragon Country this time was a stupid decision in the first place! You players and leaders should kneel and apologize!"
"Kneel! Kneel!"
Xu Shijun's body swayed violently, and a ghastly pale smile appeared on his face.
Hahaha!
How ironic!
He hadn't surrendered yet, but the people of his own country had already surrendered in advance!
His face twitched as he gritted his teeth and moved his body: "Fine... I'll kneel!"
Boom!
Thunder flashed in the sky. Xu Shijun fell to his knees at Shen Mo's feet: "Please... Lord Shen Mo, spare South Korea. I guarantee that from now on, South Korea will never be an enemy of Dragon Country!"
The live stream went silent!
At this moment, it was as if witnessing history!
It had been eleven years. For the first time, someone from the powerful nations that had oppressed Dragon Country had knelt before Dragon Country.
Western Countries watched this scene in silence.
The South Korean public was full of expectation, thinking that the matter had ended.
Dragon Country viewers watched coldly, waiting for Shen Mo's choice.
At Beiyuan Base, Old Man Li's face was taut, his eyes filled with complex and heartbreaking emotions.
He was conflicted because Shen Mo had truly done it. Once this lineup appeared, no country could stop Dragon Country's progress anymore. They had broken through the blockade that had lasted for eleven years!
He felt heartache because Shen Mo was venting their frustration. Although Shen Mo's actions seemed arrogant, in reality, he was taking all the hatred and all the storms they would face upon himself.
Zhang Zhiwei also sighed: "This child... why go to such lengths!"
He and Old Man Li both understood that if Dragon Country was strong, it would definitely settle scores for the oppression of these years. This was understandable; it made no sense that you could beat me when you were strong, but I had to endure humiliation when I became strong.
It made no sense.
It really made no sense!
But this was a matter of the state. If Dragon Country started to settle scores, the resentment and hatred of those countries would be directed at Dragon Country, at the entire national system, not really at any specific session or any specific Dragon Country player.
But now?
Shen Mo had publicly made the South Korean contestant kneel. This action directly drew all the hatred onto himself. These countries would remember him, even if he was just a contestant for Dragon Country!
Old Man Li also gave a bitter smile and shook his head: "Do you know how Chief No. 1 evaluates Shen Mo?"
"A pure heart!"
"Chief No. 1 said that Shen Mo has a pure heart. Beneath his eccentricity, angry cursing, and playful teasing lies the most passionate blood for Dragon Country. Chief No. 1 also said... that sometimes he actually cannot understand Shen Mo."
Zhang Zhiwei was shocked: "Even Chief No. 1 cannot see through him?"
Old Man Li nodded slowly: "Yes... Chief No. 1 said that sometimes he doesn't quite understand, even though before the arrival of the Gods Arena, our country and other countries didn't have much hatred..."
"Why is Shen Mo's hatred for these countries so intense..."
...
"N-now, is it enough!!" Xu Shijun gritted his teeth, his face turning livid.
However.
Answering him was a soft chuckle.
"Did I ever say... I would spare you?"
"You are breaking your promise!?"
Xu Shijun suddenly widened his eyes, looking at Shen Mo in disbelief!
The live streaming platform was instantly in an uproar!
"We have already admitted our mistake! Shen Mo, what exactly do you still want! How can you go back on your word!"
"Exactly, Xu Shijun has already knelt and admitted his mistake."
"We won't target Dragon Country again, isn't that enough?"
Countless South Korean viewers began to denounce Shen Mo!
Shame and anger!
Fury!
All kinds of emotions came flooding in!
On the high platform, Shen Mo looked at the kneeling Xu Shijun with indifferent, disdainful eyes.
"You are not wrong, you... you are just scared."
