Chapter 699 – Bans and Picks
After listening to the arrangent of Mu-Nyang and Pangu, Hongjun was baffled. He narrowed his eyes and calculated karma, searching for clues and models of this ga and where these two creators had gotten the inspiration from.
All clues pointed toward a lower world, which had already been destroyed.
"MOBA ga? A mortal's ga?"
Hongjun learned how the mortals of the destroyed world played the ga. Although he never tried it, he understood how it worked.
"How pointless. Instead of playing a repeatable ga like this, they should have spent ti on sothing else entirely."
He looked down on the old world's mortals, believing that gas were a waste of ti.
Still, Hongjun began reading karma, learning how to play MOBA gas as a reference.
"Master?" Eve and Zhunti gazed at their master, wondering what Hongjun would do.
"Eve, Zhunti, Hades, and Xiang Yu will fight in this battle with . The rest of our n will be the hostages."
Eve and Zhunti were delighted by Hongjun's order. Hades, who had pledged allegiance to Hongjun to survive, was also relieved that he was chosen.
As for the other fighter, he ca from Qin Shi Huang's clan. Xiang Yu was his na, and he was once a deity, who acted as a vanguard general of the Qin Emperor.
Currently, Xiang Yu had been bought over to Hongjun's side because of his combat experience. Now, he had been promoted to great dao sage.
Xiang Yu smirked and glanced at his forr lord, Qin Shi Huang. The latter slightly shook his head and laughed at Xiang Yu's mockery gesture.
"Don't die out there, Xiang Yu," The Qin Emperor calmly gazed at the traitor.
Xiang Yu laughed, "Nah. If I die, you and your subordinates will die first. Main representatives can be resurrected at the cost of your lives."
"That's the spirit. Sacrifice your forr allies to get things done is the right choice! Though, I hate it when you're clearly trying to kill ."
"Hmm! Just be quiet and die for my sake."
After the light bickering, Qin Emperor stopped talking and let Xiang Yu run his mouth.
anwhile, Sun Wukong and Kunwu were grumbling. Now, they wished that they should have joined Miaomiao's side instead of serving Hongjun.
The monkey king patted Kunwu, one of the earliest backers of Miaomiao in the past.
"We picked the wrong side."
"Indeed, we did."
"Do we have a chance to get out of this alive?"
"Let's pray to Buddha."
"Yeah. We can only pray."
…
Hongjun completed the roster and pressed the confirm button on the system nu.
DING
The nu changed. Now, it showed the list of Miaomiao and Pan i's representatives.
"Hmm?"
In MOBA gas, players could ban champions so that their opponents couldn't pick them. And here, Pangu simply incorporated the system into his event, allowing Hongjun to ban five rival representatives from joining the ga.
Unfortunately, Hongjun couldn't see who Miaomiao and Pan i had chosen. He had to choose them blind.
Still, Hongjun had been calculating karma and was aware of the nature of Miaomiao, Devil, Pan i, and Hiiro. He hovered his hand over their portraits, almost pressing the buttons.
Suddenly, Hongjun had the change of heart.
'No, no. It will be pointless to ban them from entering. It's better to let them join the ga since they lack real combat experience against sages. I should ban old sages on their side.'
Hongjun flipped the pages. He banned five people from Miaomiao's side and didn't pick anyone from the player's side.
Nuwa, Fuxi, Tlaloc, and two unrestrained sage Cathulhus were the Hongjun's choices.
DING
Hongjun stroked his beard and calmly waited for the tir to countdown and reach zero.
A few seconds later, while Hongjun believed that his side was settled, several portraits of his representatives were kicked out of the roster.
DING
"…"
Hongjun's expression turned blank. He gazed at the selection nu, where his portrait and Zhunti's image were kicked out of the list.
…
Chaos Realm Faction
Miaomiao clicked his tongue when he noticed that Player Faction banned five of his people instead of targeting the Heavenly Dao Faction. Moreover, Devil and Lilith's nas appeared on the ban list, which disabled them from entering the event as representatives.
The dream-team roster was no more. Now, Miaomiao had to make a new team with him and Ma Moxi as the core.
Devil and Lilith were on the verge of raging. They yelled in unison.
"DAMMIT! WHY?!"
Ma Moxi wryly smiled, "Your na must have been well-known among the players. That's why they are banning you."
"But Miaomiao should have been on the list. Why did no one choose him?" Lilith didn't understand the player's logic.
Ma Moxi pointed at Miaomiao's portrait. In the nu, the portrait showed so of his detail, which revealed his current cultivation base.
It was listed as an immortal.
Not immortal sage.
Not deity.
Not sage.
AN IMMORTAL!
From a stranger's perspective, Miaomiao was the weakest link here. There was no reason to ban him.
Devil burst into laughter. She cackled and wiped her tears.
"Those players are idiots! This asshole is a fucking unrestrained sage in disguise!"
"But we took the most damage though. The Players and Heavenly Dao Faction banned 10 of our people," Lilith bit her lower lips.
"But no one goddamn picked Miaomiao!"
Miaomiao bitterly smiled as everybody looked down on him. He turned his attention to the roster.
'Strange. Mu-Nyang should have let us choose who to ban first before the pick. Why is he allowing us to choose first before we proceed to the ban phase? Oh, right. It must be Pangu's dirty trick again. He must have wanted to see who we picked and then he must have told the players or Hongjun whom they should ban!'
Thinking this far, Miaomiao clapped his hands. He stopped worrying about Pangu's underhanded tricks and focused on picking a new roster.
Since Devil, Lilith, Orochi, Venti, Adam, Orochi, Nuwa, Fuxi, Tlaloc, and the two evolved Cathulhus couldn't participate, Miaomiao turned toward other fighters.
Currently, Fu Daotian, Xie Tian, Xie Qingtian, ng Xin, and Xie Lian were the best choice.
Miaomiao imdiately added Xie Tian and ng Xin to the roster. Nothing could go wrong with additional fate bearers.
As for the last mber, Miaomiao had a silly idea. He turned to Nya-Nya, who had been mingling with other working catopuses.
Ma Moxi noticed Miaomiao's strange look. He followed the latter's sight and found Nya-Nya.
"How about a Yuumi?"
"Yuumi sup?"
"Yuumi Top."
"That's fucking trolling! She's not gonna make it!"
"At least, I won't put her mid or jungle."
"No! Definitely no!"
"Bumr."
Miaomiao laughed. He turned toward Xie Lian next.
But before Miaomiao could pick Xie Lian, Clem suddenly rushed to his side and sent a sound transmission to both Ma Moxi and Miaomiao.
'Guys. Does this ga allow a multi-headed hydra?'
"…"
Ma Moxi and Miaomiao turned to Clem. They widened their eyes and stared at her, giving the evil dragon a thumbs up.
"You're a genius!"
"Damn brilliant!"
Clem smirked, "How long do we have until the ga starts?"
"About 15 minutes left."
"Good. I'll be right back. Don't pick the last mber yet!"
Clem dashed toward the group of dragonewts and subordinates of Lilith and Devil. She also chatted with Levy, Nero, and other dragons.
Miaomiao observed their reactions. Nero repeatedly shook his head, but Levy and Clem seed to be in an agreent.
Suddenly, their bodies released a blinding light, and both won rged as one! Clem and Levy suddenly transford into a two-headed hydra!
"It feels kinda weird. I can't move my body anymore, but I can still feel my dantian in my neck," Levy complained.
"The control over the body is up to . But don't worry, Levy. You can detach from whenever you want."
"Okay. Cool."
Clem giggled and turned to other candidates, "Who wants to join us? Don't worry about dying. You can detach from us later on!"
Everybody stared at Clem in disbelief. On the other hand, Orochi nodded and approved of Clem's thod.
Devil and Lilith clicked their tongues in disgust. They looked away from Clem as they hadn't reconciled with this evil dragon yet.
"We should have killed her when we had the chance."
"Too late now. She's Miaomiao's bitch."
"Tsk!"
Miaomiao overheard their conversation. He broke a sweat, worrying that Devil and Lilith might kill Clem one day.
…
Five minutes later, Clem's attempt to recruit an additional head ended up in failure. Even Orochi and Venti, who had been banned from participating, declined her offer.
In the end, Clem decided to join the ga as a two-headed hydra.
"Let's go with just us."
Miaomiao nodded and glanced at the list. Unfortunately, Clem and Levy had not reached the sage realm yet, so they couldn't join the ga.
He dragged them to the altar and sacrificed remaining Orochi's clones to make both of them unrestrained sages. Then, he adjusted their foundation, stabilizing their dantians.
By the ti Miaomiao finished the annoying task, the system warned him that he had less than five minutes remaining to make the decision.
Miaomiao stopped caring about the girls and finalized his roster.
Top Lane – Xie Tian
Jungle – Ma Moxi
Mid Lane – Mao Miaomiao
Bottom Lane ADC – ng Xin
Support – Clem
When Miaomiao was done, Lilith and Devil peeked at the roster screen. Then, they frowned.
"Clem as sup?" Devil was shocked.
"A noob as ADC? This ga is going to hell," Lilith facepald.
Miaomiao laughed at their reaction, "Let them try. I'll teach them how to fight."
"I an, I know that Xie Tian can handle things on his own, but ng Xin and Clem have no chemistry. You should take the ADC role and let Xie Tian support you. Let ng Xin run mid and Clem go top," Devil tried to change the position of the team.
"That arrogant kid is going to get ganked to oblivion if he plays mid. Let those noobs feel things out on the bot side since they can help each other. Rember that other guys from Heavenly Dao don't know how to play the ga, too!"
"…"
Devil still didn't have faith in Miaomiao's logic, but she allowed him to do whatever he wanted. After all, she had already taken the silver Qi pearl and rged with the Entity Ore.
"Alright. If you're that confident, good luck."
…
Player Faction
"…"
The player's plane was deserted as Nian had now occupied it as his new ho. He laid around, licking the huge catnip ore, and playing catch with it alone.
But after playing with the ore for days, Nian got bored. He wondered if there was soone or sothing similar to him so that could play together.
He wanted a friend.
Nian carried the ore on his back and brought it out to the portal. After he had crossed the portal to the dium plane, he looked left and right, deciding where he should go next.
"Nyan?"
Nian's nose twitched as he caught the scent of Hiiro, who had once carried the catnip ore. Currently, Hiiro was resting in front of Heavenly Dao's portal, blocking the exit route of the cultivators.
"NYAN!"
Nian rejoiced. He dashed toward Hiiro at his full speed. As if the giant monster cat had teleported, he reached Hiiro within a split second.
"!!!"
Hiiro failed to react. He raised his sword to block the giant paw of the cat monster.
But before the strike landed, his body and Nian's body vanished.
…
"Ugh!"
After Hiiro was forcefully teleported, his entire body felt numb. He couldn't move or feel his body.
Hiiro slowly opened his eyes.
When Hiiro ca back to his senses, he found himself hanging on a tal hook. Several sharp spikes of the hook had already pierced through his chest, arms, and legs. Moreover, the tal of this machine disabled his Qi and dantian!
Next to Hiiro, Pan i's body and the remaining players got stuck on the hook as well.
Then, a grim system ssage appeared before them.
DING
"What?"
Hiiro didn't understand what had happened here.
