Getting a Technology System in Modern Day-Chapter 1037: The FINAL FIGHT
FWOOM!!!!
Two wormholes opened on each of the poles of the dwarf planet as two individuals floated through them, landing within ten seconds on exactly opposite ends of the dwarf planet.
The feed, showing all of this from different angles, was at the moment the most-watched event in the entire Conclave, as more than ninety-nine percent of everyone had currently tuned in to watch it happen in real time. The remaining one percent were children who were not yet conscious enough to even register what they were seeing, the military on high alert in case something happened during the match, or those traveling at FTL in space with no connection to VR, making them unaware of the situation.
There was only a minute left on the timer, but with each second ticking down, the tension felt by humans increased severalfold. The Xor’Vak citizens, on the other hand, were full of confidence in their leader, the Grand Xor’Vak, due to the history that trailed him.
As for the rest of the Conclave, the current fight was a mixed reaction for them. Some were worried for the emperor, some wanted him to be killed, and many felt something in between. But they still watched with anticipation while feeling a slight worry because no matter how this incident ended, they were among the pieces on the chopping block, and neither of the two sides spelled a good life for them.
“You are really arrogant to choose a dwarf planet as the location of the battle,” the Grand Xor’Vak spoke as his humanoid form started expanding, returning to his draconic form, which was more than a kilometer in length. His voice was carried by powerful mana that forcefully transported it to Aron, who was standing still and not doing anything dramatic.
He didn’t look like someone who was fighting a battle that had a civilization’s freedom on the line at all; he looked no different from a soldier going to deal with a low-level skirmish, wearing what looked like standard military armor with a sword strapped to his back.
The Grand Xor’Vak, on the other hand, looked to be taking it even more casually, as he didn’t even bring clothes or armor, trusting fully in his scales as both his clothing and protection.
“I didn’t. Our resources were spent stabilizing the captured territories, leaving us very thin on machines to construct another colosseum of a respectable size,” Aron said as he started jumping up and down, as if warming himself up.
His eyes focused on a screen to his left, which showed the timer. The moment it hit zero, the restrictions would be lifted, and they would be allowed to use their abilities. Things like transformation and getting ready were allowed, but it was limited to physical actions; preparing spells ahead of time was not.
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 0
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!
The moment the timer hit zero, and the restrictions were removed, things happened so rapidly that no one could see exactly what happened.
Thankfully, the live stream restarted from the beginning and slowed everything down moments before the timer hit zero, focusing on Aron, who at the moment looked as if he was in suspended animation due to how much the video was slowed down. The moment the timer hit zero, Aron, who had seemed frozen, instantly moved as if the video speed had increased. But the playback speed hadn’t changed; his speed had simply increased now that he could use mana.
Aron immediately took to the air, covering a hundred kilometers instantly. Before the viewers could wonder why, a massive object erupted from the ground where Aron had been, closing its jaws with enough force to send a shockwave through the area. The camera immediately zoomed out with the two individuals still highlighted until the screen was filled with the dwarf planet. A straight line was drawn from the north pole all the way to the south pole, showing how the Grand Xor’Vak had covered a distance of more than a thousand kilometers in a single second.
But the zoomed-out scene didn’t remain so for long. It zoomed back in, now showing the Grand Xor’Vak’s mouth opening before sending out fire like a laser in Aron’s direction, covering the distance in less than a second.
As the laser-like fire was fired, the camera angle immediately changed to chase it, with the speed slowed down even further to catch an attack moving faster than the two individuals’ speed, while keeping Aron, who was on the receiving end, in full focus. The viewers were nearly having heart attacks as they watched it approach Aron, who wasn’t moving at all, as if he hadn’t even perceived it coming toward him.
At the peak of the humans’ worry and fear, with some of them even closing their eyes, the light immediately changed direction a few meters before reaching Aron, turning ninety degrees before changing direction again by another ninety degrees, returning from where it had come. Aron’s body still looked as if it were in suspended animation, as the control of the things in his surroundings through his mind was so fast that his physical body had yet to catch up, making him look as if he were unaware of the attack that had just been returned to sender.
The returned attack immediately hit the Grand Xor’Vak’s massive body, but instead of dealing any damage, it only caused a few ripples across the scales before it was instantly absorbed back into him.
“You want to harm me with my own attack? You are really arrogant,” the Grand Xor’Vak spoke through mana as he looked at Aron. Although he sounded confident, he didn’t shift his eyes from Aron for even a second.
“You really brought me into a perfect and advantageous environment.” The moment he said these words, Aron looked as if he was hit by a supersonic bullet. One moment he was standing there, and the next, he wasn’t. The only clue to what happened was...
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!
