Reborn: Super God of War - Chapter 553 - The Zerg Queen’s Return
“Demon Sword, what happened?” Lin Jie could not help but be stunned. With their strength, even five consecutive wins would be natural, but what was such a result?
Demon Sword said in fear as he recalled the event,”The opponent was too powerful!” Unfortunately, how strong they were strong, Demon Sword could not explain it. According to his description, their opponents’ skills were peculiar. With a wave of their hand, the Undead filled the place, and immediately after, Demon Sword and the others were killed by the surge of the immense number of Undead.
Such news gave Lin Jie quite the pressure. This Best Of The Best competition would be broadcast live on television shows and the internet. As a prerequisite for The New Age to lead in the real world, who knew how many people were eying the competition this time, hoping to achieve a good ranking and obtain investments from real life.
Meanwhile, many companies had also officially started to research the economic significance of this virtual game, The New Age. It was very likely that The New Age would be influenced greatly by the factor of the real world after this competition.
The next day, at Ragnarok!
The fog enveloping the surroundings of the battlefield dispersed and revealed the original magnificent and domineering appearance of Ragnarok—the huge building, which was the size of the Oriental Pearl Television Tower in Shanghai. No matter at which angle the audience players sat, they could obtain the effect of [God’s Eye], which was the bird’s eye view. Thus, it would be convenient for the audience to watch the competition from any angle.

At noon, 12:00 pm, at Ragnarok!
As the bell rang, the sound reverberated throughout the whole place and was instantly heard by tens of thousands of players in the spectator seats. At that instant, the whole Ragnarok was immediately filled by the audience!
“Look, that team! Savage Blade! Brotherhood’s Savage Blade, the leader, is that Codename Lone Wolf!”
“Their team is not called Savage Blade, but Supreme Brotherhood! Looks like Supreme Tribe is definitely going to rise.”
“Rise? That’s not that simple! Those few players are too famous, their techniques and attacking patterns were already figured out completely long ago. Unless they have other ultimate skills up their sleeves, they will be targeted and definitely lose!”
Lin Jie, Innocent Killer, Bu Yi, Charming, Smile, and Baili Changcheng were floating on the peripheral of the ring. That was also the system purposely trying to hype the event and promote the players—all players in the finals received such treatment. Lin Jie’s hands were crossed as he looked at the team in front of him coldly. That team just nicely exchanged looks with Lin Jie through a dividing wall—the leader was Eighteen Massacres!
The team Eighteen Massacres led was also one of the favorites to achieve a championship in this competition! It was said that Eighteen Massacres had single-handedly instakilled the opponents in each battle. In terms of the degree of arrogance, he was much more haughty than Lin Jie, who wanted to improve their teamwork. That also made many players think that Eighteen Massacres was the one with the highest hope to win the championship.
Beside Eighteen Massacres were those few that used codes as their names. The five of them wore dark robes and looked mysterious. In their eyes was contempt as they looked down on others.
Just as the teams sized up each other and the players in the audience were discussing excitedly, beautiful sunlight shone down from the dark sky. Such a dream-like illusory scene made one astonished—only a game such as The New Age, which was 100% realistic and, together with the effects of high-tech, could create such a scenery!
A figure gradually descended. The face of that person was a little blurry, but she had a great figure. The tight white soft armor had completely revealed her perfect curves. When everyone could see her face clearly, the whole Ragnarok fell silent for a short moment. Then immediately after ear-piercing screams and shouts followed!
“Lin Qingyu!”
“My goddess also plays The New Age?”
Lin Qingyu, Lin Qingyu!”
Even Lin Jie was also slightly surprised as that person was a famous celebrity, Lin Qingyu. This woman, who was only 20 years old, had relied on her pure and pretty looks, as well as her sweet and pleasant singing voice to conquer who knew how many people. Countless guys, who had thought of her as the goddess of their dreams, were exhilarated.
Presently, it could be said that Lin Qingyu was one of the most popular female stars, but she rarely participated in such public events. Who would have expected that she would actually appear here? Still, her appearance elated many people.
“Oh, wow. It is actually Lin Qingyu. What is she here for? To be the mascot?” Baili Changcheng’s eyes lit up.
Zheng Ziliang smiled meaningfully and said, “You’re interested in her? You need me to help you? She’s quite close to me.”
“No need, no need. If I’m really interested, I won’t ask anyone for help. Also, Lin Qingyu is famous for being the pure and innocent type; just taking a look is enough.” Baili Changcheng shook his head.
Bu Yi poked Lin Jie’s arm. “Why? Are you dumbfounded from seeing a star?”
Lin Jie shrugged. “I’m not interested in stars. I just feel that this time The New Age officials have spent quite the effort to promote this competition, to even invite Lin Qingyu. Undoubtedly, It’s to showcase the popularity effect in the game. Imagine that if Lin Qingyu’s popularity increased rapidly after this event, wouldn’t more stars want to enter the game? After that, not only would fans join the game, but there would also be more management companies, and so son. Connecting these to the value of the game itself, it’s simply—”
“Stop, stop, stop! Jie, I realize your brain is indeed different from a normal person. Did you not discover other shining points of her?” Zheng Ziliang glared at him.
Lin Jie looked carefully for a while, then shook his head and said, “Level 13 Hunter. Although her equipment looks good, it’s only a Level 10 Bronze Hunter Set, what is there to see?”
Zheng Ziliang held his forehead helplessly. “There’s no hope for you anymore…”
Everyone was rendered speechless. Even Bu Yi stuck out her tongue as she felt that Lin Jie being insensitive was hilarious.
“Dear ladies and gentlemen, welcome. I am Lin Qingyu.” Lin Qingyu descended like an angel, and with a wave of her right hand, a magical voice-magnifying device that looked like a microphone floated into her hands—it was shining radiantly.
She smiled sweetly, and the atmosphere was instantly heated up. Most of the spectators in Ragnarok were shouting Lin Qingyu’s name, and only then did Lin Jie feel speechless at her popularity.
“I will be the MC for this Best Of The Best competition. I hope all participants can do their best!” added Lin Qingyu as she calmly accepted the attention on her.
After hearing what she said, many participants could not help but clench their fists, and their faces were flushed red as they were all hyped. It looked like the encouragement from their goddess was quite effective.
Lin Qingyu was very satisfied with the reaction from everyone, and seeing that many had an intense response because of her arrival, she felt quite happy.
However, she noticed that there were a few people that seemed to not react at all. She blinked her large eyes, then she smiled and said, “I’ll cut to the chase, the competition is about to start! However, before the competition begins, let me introduce some small benefits. When the participants are battling, everyone will be able to choose your seats freely, choose the side you support! If the team you support wins, then you can obtain a Gift Bag, the prizes are also abundant.
“Alright, now I declare, let the battles begin!”
“The first battle will be [Steel Allies] VS [Dark Shadow].”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Steel Allies’ five members were Inksnow, Ghost Eyes, Great Precision, The Heavenly Shield, and Mixed Breathless, who were borrowed from the Savage Blade team.
Within Savage Blade, people like Dejected Night and Netherblue were not interested in joining the competition, so after Qiu Yuan had left the team, they had started to go to maps to search for miraculous encounters to increase their strength. Amongst them, Mixed Breathless and Inksnow were close, so after obtaining Lin Jie’s permission, he went to help the Steel Allies join Best Of The Best competition.
Dark Shadow was one of the teams Lin Jie paying close attention to as it was formed by Code 1, Code 2, and so on.
“Jie, which side do you support?” asked Zheng Ziliang. “I think the Steel Allies will definitely win! There are three Shield Specialists and two Hunters in the team. Such a combination is simply too shameless.”
Lin Jie frowned. “Look at the battle carefully.”
The 10-second countdown started!
Inksnow, Mixed Breathless, and The Heavenly Shield exchanged a look, then they formed a triangle formation in front of the two Hunters. The team’s core concept was for the three Shield Specialists to take all the damage to provide a chance for the two Hunters to attack.
On the other hand, the faces of the five people on the other side were hidden under the cloaks, so no expression changes could be seen. There was only one person sizing up the valiant Inksnow from top to bottom before licking his lips. Such a frivolous look made Inksnow frown.
“Battle start!” As Lin Qingyu finished, the atmosphere instantly became tense as they were ready to battle!
“Kill Left first!”
Ghost Eyes immediately ordered, and three arrows were instantly placed on his Dark Gold longbow, The arrow reached right in front of the first person on the left with an explosive sound!
Great Precision immediately cooperated with his guild leader, and a pale green hexagram array appeared in his eyes—the skill [Wind Spirit’s Eagle Eyes] was activated! Great Precision’s status in the Hunter’s Guild could be compared to Ghost Eyes, and with the activation of Wind Spirit’s Eagle Eyes, the arrows were shot towards the target’s face like rain!
At the same time, Mixed Breathless and Inksnow, the two Shield Specialists, activated Forward Charge. Inksnow’s shield mercilessly smashed towards that person’s chin, and that person was instantly knocked back into the air. The few arrows accurately pierced into that person’s body.
MISS! MISS!
…
What astonished everyone was that such a powerful attack actually had not dealt any damage.
“Hehehe, such a powerful attack.” That person took off his cloak, and what was revealed was actually a pure white skeleton body! Those arrows had accurately pierced through the gaps of the bones, so naturally, no damage had been dealt.
Lin Jie’s pupils constricted. ‘What’s going on? That person was an Undead? No!’ Lin Jie turned his attention to Eighteen Massacres, and his face revealed a gloomy smirk—it looked like those five people were from the Kingdom of Glory! They had gone through the magic of the Dark Shrine and had attained the Undead physique!
The five of them took off their cloaks simultaneously—five skeletons were so blatantly revealed within everyone’s line of sight.
“Ah…” Lin Qingyu was shocked, and similarly, many spectators were astonished too. The Undead was mostly the synonym of monsters, but now, these five players had actually joined the battle with such an identity, just what was going on?
“Hehehehehe… Why? Too shocked?” That skeleton, who had been attacked, let out a weird sound as his upper and lower jaws collided. “Trash from the Steel Allies and Inksnow, do you remember me? Do you still remember? At Atlas Peak, you and Lone Wolf had joined hands to destroy my Zerg Queen, do you remember?”
Inksnow was astonished. “You are that Paladin named Feng Yun 21?”
“That’s right, as a reward, I’ll give you a complete defeat!” Feng Yun 21 smiled coldly. “Undead servants, come out!”
