Chapter 1925 1925: The Disappearing Genius Runs Amok
Both teams were strategizing in the lounge, while the audience inside and outside the venue was in a state of heightened excitement.
The next match would be the final game of this S-Class World Professional League, and after days of watching, everyone was eagerly anticipating this last showdown.
The result of this match would conclude the series of games that had taken place over the past few days.
For the spectators, the most noteworthy aspects were, of course, the final win or loss and the speculation about who would be crowned champion.
As a team that had claimed multiple championships in the past, the call for the Pantheon to win this time was undoubtedly strong—almost a foregone conclusion.
However, the sudden emergence of the Crowd of Misfits team had many worried for the Pantheon.
After all, a super expert like Wang Yu was someone the audience had never heard of before.
Especially in the first match, some spectators even thought the Pantheon would be crushed, but in the second match, Prometheus and Poseidon turned the tide, allowing everyone to witness the might of the world's number one team.
By the time of the third team battle, there had been some voices supporting the Crowd of Misfits team for the championship, but the overwhelming trend had completely drowned out the supporters of the Crowd of Misfits team.
What does it matter if there's a super expert? <<Rebirth>> is not a one-man game. With so many experts in the Pantheon, how could they fear just one person? The rest of the Crowd of Misfits team had completely fallen off the audience's radar.
After all, in the eyes of the spectators, the Crowd of Misfits team relied solely on Wang Yu, as the others were simply no match for the experts of the Pantheon.
The ten-minute break quickly came to an end.
Wang Yu led the Crowd of Misfits team and the Pantheon out of the lounge and into the gaming pods, appearing on stage under the watchful eyes of the audience.
Cheers and encouragement filled the air, almost lifting the roof off the venue.
"Pantheon, go!"
"Pantheon, go!"
In contrast, the support for the Crowd of Misfits team was quite dismal... with barely a few voices that seemed almost nonexistent.
Only from the VIP seats did players from the Kyushu team, such as Sacred Mountain, shout, "Crowd of Misfits team, you must win the championship!"
Although the two teams had some unpleasantness in the past, that was all part of the competitive spirit. Now that the Kyushu team had been defeated, the last hope for the country rested on the Crowd of Misfits team.
As a long-standing national representative team, they were still able to distinguish between right and wrong in this situation. It was better to let the annoying Crowd of Misfits team win than to let the Pantheon take the trophy.
Of course, which team would win was not something they, as cheerleaders, could dictate.
"Hey?"
As everyone was shouting encouragement for the Crowd of Misfits team, the players from All Directions watching the Crowd of Misfits's entrance couldn't help but furrow their brows.
"Did the boss get smashed?" Sacred Mountain asked in confusion.
All Directions expressed their puzzlement, "Why isn't Evil Rampage in the final match?"
"Evil Rampage?" Upon hearing All Directions' remark, Sacred Mountain quickly turned their gaze to the Crowd of Misfits team.
Sure enough, Evil Rampage was absent from the Crowd of Misfits team.
"This... that's strange."
Seeing that Evil Rampage was not among the Crowd of Misfits team, everyone displayed looks of confusion.
It should be noted that Evil Rampage was the strongest player in the Crowd of Misfits team besides Wang Yu. The team's advance to the finals was closely tied to Evil Rampage's performance.
As one of the three experts capable of holding their own against the Pantheon, the absence of Evil Rampage in the last match indeed left people scratching their heads.
Evil Rampage was one of the notable experts, and as soon as the Crowd of Misfits team took the stage, many were focusing on Wang Yu and the other two.
It wasn't just All Directions who noticed; soon the audience also realized that one key player was missing from the Crowd of Misfits team.
Evil Rampage was the inner player for Uranus. Upon taking the stage, Uranus instinctively wanted to exchange glances with Evil Rampage, but after looking around three times, he still couldn't find him.
"This..."
Seeing this, Uranus's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that the plan has been exposed?"
However, Uranus quickly regained his composure and reassured himself, "What does it matter? Can that kid really expose me? As long as he doesn't take the stage, our goal is achieved."
"Referees, I have something to report."
But just as Uranus was calculating in his mind, Fearless suddenly called for a stop to the match.
"Please go ahead!"
This wasn't a battle, and the referees were quite understanding; seeing Fearless suddenly halt the match, they thought perhaps he had an urgent need.
Such occurrences were not unheard of.
"Thank you!" Fearless nodded to the referees and then slowly said, "I want to report that someone bribed the opponent to throw the match!"
"???!"
Hearing Fearless's words, the entire audience was stunned.
The referees were equally taken aback, incredulously asking, "Is that true? Who would dare to pull such a stunt right under our noses?"
"Uranus!" Fearless said flatly.
"Uranus???!"
As soon as Fearless made this statement, everyone inside and outside the venue widened their eyes in shock.
In everyone's eyes, Uranus was a top-tier expert, a benchmark in terms of character and charisma. Even among the Pantheon—a gathering of gods—his teammates followed him willingly. How could such a person possibly do something like this?
"Uranus??" The referees exchanged glances, then asked in surprise, "Everything needs evidence; you can't just slander him. Who exactly did he get to throw the match?"
"Evil Rampage!" Fearless replied. "Before the match, Uranus gave Evil Rampage some money to deliberately cheat during the game..."
"You! You're slandering me!" Before Fearless could finish, Uranus could no longer contain himself and pointed at Fearless, shouting, "I'll sue you for defamation!"
"You're going to sue me? Haha!" Fearless smiled slightly and said, "Evil Rampage is already on the chairman's platform. Can you deny the written agreement between you two?"
"This... this is impossible!"
Upon hearing Fearless's words, Uranus's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he questioned incredulously, "Does that kid not want to make a career in the professional scene? What he's doing now is ruining his own future!"
"Haha, you don't need to worry about that!" Fearless replied with a smile. "Evil Rampage is different from you; he is the second son of our club's investor, and he is currently our boss. He's just here to fill a spot in the match. Do you think he cares about a so-called professional career?"
What do you think?
