"Oh oh oh oh!"
"Tai Sui! Tai Sui!"
"In the battle of humans and machines, humans have won again!"
"I knew he could do it! I had always known he would win!"
"Hahaha, even high-ranking Angels Envoy are no match for humans."
"We are the champions!"
Gao Xin’s stunning turnaround instantly ignited the crowd.
Even the prospective Tiger Kings turned into little fanboys... It was so exhilarating.
Everyone present, without exception, didn’t know how to win in such a situation that even legendary people felt desperate watching.
Knowing Themis possessed data on all of humankind, including Tai Sui, as he was about to lose with his own tactics, Tai Sui suddenly turned the tables dramatically.
Why? Could it be that Gao Xin was too familiar with his own fighting style?
Just like Gao Xin said at the end, "Trying to paint a tiger, but it turned out to look like a dog"?
To be honest, not a single spectator could see how Gao Xin won; it felt like Themis just handed it over unexpectedly.
But hasn’t Tai Sui always been like this? This is his style; this is where he excels.
The winner takes all, and so people were already cheering for Tai Sui’s victory.
In their view, although Yak is impressive, he certainly can’t compare to Themis.
If even the high-ranking Angels Envoy who gathered all of humankind’s legends lost, how could Yak, a re human, win against Tai Sui?
Tai Sui had beco unprecedented, creating what could be called an impossible history.
In their view, the upcoming battles were just garbage ti.
"Themis should just drop out, haha."
"What’s happening? What’s happening? I just arrived..."
"Just got here too, heard soone made history again, high-ranking Angels Envoy got thrashed."
"Is he really a high-ranking Angels Envoy? Isn’t he just a regular Angels Envoy making up the numbers?"
"It’s not fair, it’s not fair, Themis’s chanical body is too weak to sustain his system, causing it to bug out."
"Geez, here we are in a battle between humans and machines, and soone says it’s unfair to the robot."
"Do you know what creating history ans? Do you understand what being unprecedented ans?"
"Just Themis’s phrase ’You have raised humanity’s pinnacle’ itself is terrifyingly prestigious!"
The buzz in the forum was unceasing, even increasing more and more.
In fact, out of the one hundred and twenty thousand Cri Prison Island mbers worldwide, most don’t watch the Tiger King Conference.
The audience that watches the entire event is at most around ten thousand, only rising to over twenty thousand once it reaches the semifinals.
The popularity of Cri Prison Island is mainly focused on those top players; many would rather watch a ga than watch such boring major battles, as they’re way too hardcore and incomprehensible to the viewers.
However, the gimmick of a battle between humans and machines was very compelling, and many people who heard about the showdown between Themis and Tai Sui hurried to watch the match.
And after Tai Sui’s victory, the popularity exploded once again, and people called their friends, shouting out in various gaming arenas or spreading the news in reality.
So much so that many who didn’t normally watch the Tiger King fight also joined in on the excitent.
The popularity of the Tiger King Conference unprecedentedly soared to four hundred thousand.
And among them, most were focused on Tai Sui.
Let alone the red players, Gao Xin’s participation in the conference elevated him directly to the height of a golden player!
The Angels Envoy hovered in the air, looking at the restored Themis, silent.
Only Saint Peter spoke, "Themis, you told him too much."
"He took advantage of being a singularity, and the fact that you couldn’t build an exact model, deliberately making you learn the wrong tactics."
"From start to finish, everything was a set-up, and in the end, he defeated you with his vast experience."
It was indeed true that at the beginning, Themis gave Gao Xin too much information, like about the singularity and that his goal was to collect data.
That’s why Gao Xin could keep up the fierce attacks early on without worrying that Themis would catch a mistake and finish him instantly.
Even if Themis countered, it would only severely injure him, not deliver the finishing blow, after all, the data collection wasn’t complete yet.
However, Themis responded, "It’s not that simple, Saint Peter."
"I admit, his performance from the start in the rotation battles, was deliberately feeding data, all setting up for this battle."
"But if all that was wrong, how did he manage to win against those people? How did he fight them for ten hours unbeaten?"
"Including just now, if it was wrong, how could he have fought back and forth with ?"
Saint Peter is not an Angels Envoy responsible for combat, he may have a Milan-level combat sense, but that’s not his primary system.
His main system, he is a manager, a ruler,
So, there are so things he couldn’t discern, only Themis felt them.
Themis continued, "Winning against him ans nothing to , conquering him is what matters. Given another chance, I would still tell him that information."
"See, didn’t this provoke more useful material?"
"The things he ca up with, under the right circumstances, have miraculous effects."
"But they are only miraculously effective and cannot form a fixed routine or experience."
"If compiled into a secret manual, it would be the most useless technique in the world."
Saint Peter countered, "No technique is superior to having a technique?"
Themis pondered, "No technique is superior to having a technique is just the basics, Tai Sui is even more terrifying."
"If it were just useless techniques, that would be fine; at least they wouldn’t affect ."
"But those things from Tai Sui, not only are they useless, they also have side effects!"
"It directly contaminated my database, it’s just... indescribable."
Saint Peter’s eyes narrowed, "Are you sure you want to use that word? You know what it implies."
Themis said solemnly, "Indeed, we can’t make such a hasty judgnt yet."
"I need to properly study it. The Tai Sui model has greatly influenced , this is the first ti I’ve encountered such a situation. His tactics are like a Trojan horse, toxic."
"However, this is also unprecedented material. Perhaps if I can crack this Trojan horse, I might solve the singularity issue."
Saint Peter looked at him, "If you don’t clear these contaminated data, how will you fight Yak next?"
Themis smiled faintly, "You and I both know Yak’s situation very well, and it’s not sothing that can be understood in one or two tries."
"Just in terms of combat awareness, I’m not his match. His intuition seems to be beyond known humanity."
"I thought I would only lose to Yak, but then you brought Tai Sui."
"Tai Sui’s data is even more precious; it has brought great insights. The problem is laid out clearly in my database, how could I delete it?"
"I can’t wait to return to the moon to study the issues in my system."
Saint Peter nodded. Themis was here to test, not to win the championship.
Win or lose, the key was whether there was sothing to be gained.
Undoubtedly, Themis had gained a lot. One person’s tactics could contaminate his database; hence, this contaminated database was material of great value.
It could be said that just obtaining this made his trip worthwhile.
"According to the rules, you still have to complete the match. If you withdraw, it’s quite troubleso," Saint Peter said.
Themis shrugged, "Don’t worry, I also want to witness the great battle between Tai Sui and Yak."
Saying that, he jumped into the arena and shouted, "Yak, co and fight!"
The fight with Yak continued and the schedule was pushed forward.
Yak entered the arena, showing again his complete exoskeleton from mid-air, truly magnificent and powerful.
This ti, he activated seven-stage overclocking.
With one sweep, he blew apart Themis’ arms.
Another diagonal slash shattered Themis’ torso.
Finally, a flash step vertical split appeared above Themis, from a high position, the bone sword like a teor.
This sword strike, brimming with explosive power, also enveloped a huge amount of energy.
The intense heat-lting particles subrged Themis, blocking all his angles, and destroyed all his Intelligent chanism Modules in one breath.
A white light shone down, and with three strikes, Themis was defeated by Yak!
"Yak wins," Saint Peter declared.
The intense barrage, the excited spectator stand, suddenly stilled.
It took a good while before they ca back to their senses, "Ah? Three strikes?"
"Are you kidding , was Themis defeated instantly?"
"Tai Sui beat Themis, and Yak also beat Themis? Even faster?"
"No, who exactly is this young man?"
"He is Yak from Eden Garden; my God, is he the real boss?"
"What’s with Themis? A fake Angel Envoy, he’s a fake Angel Envoy!"
"He ssed up? Lost to Tai Sui, knew he couldn’t win the championship, so he started ssing around, right?"
"The Angel Envoy definitely didn’t co just to win the championship; it was because of Tai Sui. He lost to Tai Sui, and then he didn’t want to play anymore."
"Themis might have already left, just leaving the shell of a chanical police in place."
"Didn’t you notice? Tai Sui was right. Fighting Themis isn’t interesting; his only opponent is Yak."
"Tai Sui already knew; the real showdown is between him and Yak."
The audience was very disappointed in Themis, although Yak’s performance shocked them, they felt Themis definitely threw the ga.
In fact, almost, Gao Xin knew, Themis didn’t intentionally throw the match, but he also didn’t clear the anomalies in his combat system.
That was almost no different from deliberately losing.
In front of Yak, those hidden flaws, maybe Yak couldn’t exploit them, but Themis couldn’t perform optimally either; the variance was too great.
For Yak, his awareness was enough to overpower Themis outright.
While it only took three strikes, Yak actually used his full strength, otherwise, he couldn’t have destroyed all of Themis’ Intelligent chanism Modules in one go."
As expected, Themis fought Wei Miao again and lost.
It lasted just a little longer, and after one hit of Moon’s Eye from Wei Miao, Themis was severely wounded."
After dozens of rounds, it was really just finishing moves, destroying the remaining Intelligent chanism Modules."
"See, he really did throw the match."
"Themis had defeated Wei Miao before, and now he’s losing again."
"In that case, Themis also has zero wins."
The audience was speechless, thinking Themis only fought seriously when facing Tai Sui.
A robot, acting so similar to a human, could it really have been broken by Tai Sui’s attitude?
No matter what, now two challengers in a row are at zero wins."
The semi-final’s round-robin format is such that each challenger must sequentially win over the other three.
It ans each person fights the other three challengers three tis each to ensure the integrity of the competition."
After all, in past competitions, everyone was of similar strength, and a single bout determining the winner had a high chance of randomness, and the first challenger was at a disadvantage."
So only by winning three matches in one’s own round can one beco the Tiger King."
Next, it was Gao Xin’s turn to challenge."
With a slight smile, he leaped into the arena, directly challenging Yak."
"Let’s have our showdown, Yak."
