Putting aside the thoughts of Revenge Shadow Rider for a moment, Little Wu regretted asking the question. Before the opening, she had simulated the atmosphere of the scene countless times, but somehow, upon seeing the commercial, she impulsively decided to improvise.
What shouldn't be said and what shouldn't be asked are basic rules. Focusing on her own job was the key. Yet she asked about the figurine, a topic that even Revenge Shadow Rider was not clear about. It wouldn't exactly violate any rights, since Shadow Rider and Star Wars company have a pre-existing agreement where a part of the earnings would go to Shadow Rider. However, selling without Shadow Rider's consent doesn't sound good and if Shadow Rider were to oppose this, the whole project could be in jeopardy.
After the question, the Phantom Knight 0001 eerily glanced humanely towards the guests, exciting the four special commentators.
Its pale armor bore scars from numerous battles, causing the 12-star generals to have complicated feelings. They clearly sensed the pressure the Revenge Shadow Rider imposed upon them.
As for Little Wu's question, Shadow Rider, unlike a lofty superstar, didn't dismiss it. He shrugged and continued his usual sparing use of words. His emotionless electronic voice came through the speaker, "I don't have any feelings about it. As long as you like it, it's fine."
Yes, Shadow Rider may be silent, but he gives off a genuine sense of being ordinary. Unlike the 12-star generals who are insincere, despite Shadow Rider's silence and cold demeanor, people could see a burning flame within him. That burning sensation could only come from a true warrior.
'No feelings, as long as you're happy.' This response is typical of Revenge Shadow Rider. He always responds simply, without any corporate spin, just a few words, yet it sent the audience into a frenzy... From then on, the internet adopted a new phrase, 'No feelings, as long as you're happy.'
Sky Shadow didn't like what he was seeing. Who was this Revenge Shadow Rider? Just a virtual player who liked to stay hidden. The fanatics in the federation were going too far. They liked everything he did, even if he was taking a dump.
"Eh, Mister Sky Shadow, are you still feeling unwell?" On the guests' stage, Reiko deliberately rubbed salt in Sky Shadow's wounds.
Faced with Reiko's false concern, Sky Shadow wore an even bigger smile, throwing salt in Weibang's wounds, "Lily's failure has put a lot of pressure on me. It seems we have to encourage each other."
"Haha, I'm looking forward to our meeting."
The battle of Shadow Rider hasn't even begun; yet, a hostile vibe has already sparked between the respective bosses of special guest seats.
Sky Shadow believed the spotlight should've been his. However, it was taken by the upstart Revenge Shadow Rider. His real adversaries weren't just Revenge Shadow Rider; they were these cockroaches in their seats.
Raymond was exceptionally calm, doing a mock sleep under such circumstances. Mirami just stared coldly at the battlefield, while Princess Dilia, who was on the guest seat, maintained her ladylike demeanour through her silence.
The opponent of Shadow Rider was none other than Major Andre from Diya Alliance. As a veteran Red Cloak, the 43-year-old Andre had a history of distinguished service. Although his talent might not be on par with the 12-star generals, his combat experience far exceeded theirs. Revenge Shadow Rider had come across a pretty tough adversary. It was no wonder that Dilia was smiling. She had so much confidence in Andre that, even if Shadow Rider could win, it would definitely not be without sufferings.
As the countdown approached, both players entered the mecha selection stage. Revenge Shadow Rider, as always, chose Phantom Knight 0001. Yes, you read it right! Even though his opponent Andre had chosen the concept model - Rage, Shadow Rider still decided to use his well-known yet underwhelming model. Who asked him to be the Revenge Shadow Rider? The result was quite surprising.
You must know that Andre was on a par with the 12-star generals. Although he didn't have the potential to become an ace pilot, his extensive experience was enough to defeat most opponents of his level.
For a battle of this level, the configuration of Rage was no longer important than the overall performance of the machine. It's unclear whether Shadow Rider's choice was due to confidence or blind arrogance.
But then, who is Revenge Shadow Rider? The undefeated symbol in the hearts of countless Federation people. Although the foundation of this belief is weak and is built upon Shadow Rider's multiple impossible-to-possible victories, as long as Shadow Rider remains undefeated, there isn't a person in the world who dares to claim they can defeat him, not even an ace pilot.
The battle promptly entered the random map matching phase and the map selected was Mars. Thankfully, it wasn't space. In the blink of an eye, both players had appeared on the Mars battlefield.
The yellowish sky was due to the sandstorm caused by the hurricane. Even with isolation devices, you would feel very uncomfortable fighting in low pressure conditions.
With the yellow sand sweeping across the battlefield, the Rage mecha shot into the sky. As its silhouette overlapped with the red giant star, a saturation attack of firepower descended from the sky, engulfing the battlefield enveloped by sandy wind.
Boom boom boom sizzle sizzle sizzle…
The ground exploded and churned. In an instant, the thousand-meter range around Revenge Shadow Rider was obscured by dust. With such minimal visibility, nobody knew where Revenge Shadow Rider had gone. Had he disappeared from the spot, or had he dodged desperately?
Rage stopped its actions and was suspended in mid-air. Andre wanted to see how his opponent could remain safe and sound under such firepower.
A gust of wind swept across the battlefield. When the mist cleared, it was revealed that Shadow Rider had barely moved. The scene was not unexpected. It was clear that a bombardment attack was ineffectual against a warrior of Revenge Shadow Rider's caliber. Even though Rage's 400-card unit's comprehensive output vitality value reached saturation, the parts that truly threatened Revenge Shadow Rider had been knocked away beforehand.
"What an impressive Revenge Shadow Rider. He lives up to his reputation." Andre chuckled. His speaker transmitted his somewhat excited voice, "Only such an opponent makes the battle interesting."
Shadow Rider seemed indifferent to the praise, showing no intent to reply.
Rage drew out the Death Beam Sniper Rifle with a wave of its hand, it then aimed at Shadow Rider. Andre wanted to continue to test Shadow Rider's capabilities. If the opponent could not even dodge this attack, he did not deserve to fight with Andre.
The beam from the Death Beam Sniper Rifle turned from white to deep red. With a beam of light coming from the sky, the ground where Shadow Rider stood a moment ago suddenly turned into scorched wasteland.
Shadow Rider suddenly disappeared. Where? Where….. He not only disappeared from people's sight but from Andre's scanner as well. Could he have been obliterated by the Death Beam Sniper Rifle?
The big screen promptly replayed the video in slow motion. The second Andre pulled the trigger, Revenge Shadow Rider made a swift leap forward. An ephemeral flare came from his propulsion device, and he instantly turned into a light, appearing behind Andre, 5000 meters away.
Yes, it wasn't that Shadow Rider didn't want to dodge the attack, but the previous fire coverage wasn't in the least bit threatening to him. Feng Yi decided to give this battle his all and wouldn't hold anything back. He said, "Behind you."
