There were only 30 minutes left until the end of the event, and the three major regions had made their final choices.
The h.e.l.l serverâs players, who were originally the strongest, had a disagreement at the last moment. The players from the European and Chinese servers were more United, and they all rushed towards Li Xing and Yin Xiaoqi.
As their levels soared, their bodies grew larger and larger, and their individual points were even closer to Eric âs.
At this point, Eric could not care about anything else. He decisively pounced on the candle G.o.d of the US military.
At this moment, Yin Xiaoqi suddenly charged forward. Her target was none other than the US militaryâs candle G.o.d.
At this moment, the US Armyâs candle G.o.d was too crucial. If Arek successfully devoured it, they would have no chance of turning the tables.
Therefore, Yin Xiaoqi did not hesitate to give up on devouring her teammates and changed her target to Eric.
At this time, his level was not inferior to Eric âs, and he had the power to compete. Meanwhile, the candle G.o.d in the US military was also growing rapidly, and he had to be contained as soon as possible.
The two huge fireb.a.l.l.s charged at the US militaryâs candle G.o.d from different directions. The moment the three fireb.a.l.l.s collided, the sky shone with a bright golden light. The US militaryâs candle G.o.d began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its level dropped rapidly. Meanwhile, Eric and Yin Xiaoqiâs levels began to soar.
Under the level suppression, the devouring process was extremely fast. The US militaryâs candle G.o.d began to resist unwillingly, but he did not target Eric. Instead, he chose to activate the devouring on Yin Xiaoqi.
At this moment, the American military understood that they could not even protect themselves. Although Eric was their biggest enemy in the h.e.l.l server, he could at least represent the h.e.l.l server.
Although they were unwilling, the US military made a final decision at this moment for the sake of their regionâs ranking.
However, the candle G.o.d was different from the kun Peng. When devouring targets that were of a higher level than him, he did not gain any level immunity. According to his current level, his devouring speed had been reduced by 58%, which was not enough to make up for his loss.
However, the US militaryâs actions made Yin Xiaoqi feel very bad.
Although his own level had been rising rapidly, the experience in his body was also losing because the US military had chosen to devour him. The devouring efficiency was at least 10% lower, while Ericâs devouring efficiency was 100%. If this continued, the result would not be optimistic.
In the distance, the players from the European server were still devouring each other, and then one after another, they rushed into Li Xingâs mouth.
At this moment, Li Xing suddenly turned to look at Lionheart.
âQuickly, devour me!â
Lionheart clearly didnât understand what was going on and couldnât help but be stunned.
âQuick, devour me! The levels of both sides are too high. If I rely on my current candlelight G.o.d form to devour all of you, thereâs no chance of turning the tables. The kun Peng Youâve chosen has the strongest single-target abilities. Moreover, at this stage, no player has reached a kun Peng above level 300. This might be a turning point. Iâll take a gamble!â
Hearing Li Xingâs words, Lionheart suddenly realized what Li Xing was trying to do.
He would use the experience of all the players in the European server to train a top-tier kun Peng and see if it was qualified to turn the tables!
Since Li Xing had made his decision, Lionheart didnât hesitate. He pounced on Li Xing without hesitation and activated devour.
On the other side, the US Armyâs candle G.o.d was getting smaller and smaller as it was being devoured. Eric and Yin Xiaoqi, who were originally evenly matched, now had an 18-level difference.
As it was the later stage, the points for level 18 had already broken through 30 million. Because of the US militaryâs final choice, Yin Xiaoqi became at a disadvantage in the final devouring.
Even with the help of countless players from the central server during the devour skill, this disadvantage was still irreparable.
At this moment, any strategy was useless.
âPa!â
The US Armyâs candle G.o.d had died at this moment, and Eric pounced on Yin Xiaoqi without hesitation.
âŚâŚ
At the same time, on the European server.
Li Xingâs body kept shrinking as he was swallowed by Lionheart. When he was broken, the kun Peng that Lionheart had transformed into rose to Level 468.
[Lionheart (ROC)]:
[Mimicry skill: devour (devouring speed +312%, can devour targets 84 levels higher than the user)]
Looking at his Level 468 attributes, Lionheart was overjoyed.
The three large regions fought as a group and had considered nurturing the candle G.o.d with a higher cost-performance ratio. However, no one had expected that the kun Pengâs devouring ability would become so powerful in the end.
At this moment, Lionheart turned his gaze to Arek and Yin Xiaoqi who were devouring each other. He wagged his tail and pounced on them while roaring.
At this moment, Ericâs level was undoubtedly the highest. He had already broken through to level 540, so he naturally became Lionheartâs first target.
It attacked from behind and bit Arekâs body, activating its devouring ability.
Reinhardtâs appearance startled Arek.
At this moment, his level was still growing in the battle with Yin Xiaoqi. It could be said that victory was in his grasp. However, Reinhardtâs partic.i.p.ation changed the situation again.
With a 312% increase in devouring speed and a level 84 devouring immunity, Reinhardtâs devouring speed could be said to not be any weaker than Arek âs.
With enemies on both sides, Arek decisively changed his direction and chose to devour Lionheart because Lionheart was the biggest threat now.
This gave Yin Xiaoqi another chance to grow.
As Arekâs body became smaller and smaller, Yin Xiaoqiâs body became bigger and bigger. Lionheart suddenly gave up on devouring Arek and pounced on Yin Xiaoqi.
There would only be one victory. If he allowed Yin Xiaoqi to continue growing, even if Eric was devoured, he would not be able to compete with Yin Xiaoqi. Lionheart was well aware of this.
Arek understood what Lionheart was thinking, so he also changed his direction and chose to devour Yin Xiaoqi.
This time, Yin Xiaoqi became the target of Eric and Lionheartâs attack.
There were only ten minutes left, and the three sides began to change their targets back and forth. The rankings took turns to become first, and the situation was at a stalemate.
At this moment, the players outside the arena were extremely nervous. Under such circ.u.mstances, it was possible for any region to become number one, but no one could guarantee the final result.
After another round of devouring, Reinhardt, who had become the strongest devouring species in the area, became the target of Eric and Emilyâs devouring.
But this time, the situation had changed.
During the devouring process, Lionheartâs level didnât decrease, and his size seemed to be increasing bit by bit.
Seeing this scene, the audience was in an uproar.
They could clearly see the devouring data. At this time, Lionheart was exempted from devouring because his level was higher than that of Erica and Arek. The devouring effect of Arek and Yin Xiaoqi was reduced by 28% and 25% respectively.
This was undoubtedly fatal because the kun Peng that Reinhardt had transformed into had a 380% increase in devouring speed.
Eric and Yin Xiaoqi didnât see Lionheartâs attributes, which led to a huge error in judgment. Even though Lionheart didnât gain much experience points after deducting the cost, the balance was completely broken.
The devouring of the two didnât make Lionheart smaller, but instead made him grow.
Under such circ.u.mstances, Reinhardt, who had transformed into the kun Peng, was in complete control of the situation.
When it was 12 oâ clock, the server announcement sounded:
[Server announcement: the âdevouring battleâ event has officially ended. The ranking of points is as follows: ]
Personal points ranking:
[1st place: Lionheart (ROC) Level 543 16%]
Second place, Yin Xiaoqi (candle G.o.d): Level 228,27%
Third place: Eric (candle G.o.d): Level 203,87%
Fourth place, Qiu mo (Tian Luo hou): Level 97,76%
5th place: Level 89,45%
âŚâŚ
Region leaderboard:
[1st place: Blue Void region (325754123 points)]
[2nd place: Beiqi region (197541485 points)]
[3rd place: great domain of h.e.l.l (172149125 points)]
âŚâŚ
The final result was beyond the expectations of many players.
Originally, the players thought that the final winner would be decided between Yin Xiaoqi and Arek, but Lionheartâs appearance was undoubtedly a Dark Horse.
As the three sides restrained and devoured each other, the kun Peng clearly had a huge advantage in terms of skills. At the last moment, he even turned the tables.
After a brief silence, all the players in the European server cheered.
At that moment, a post on the European server forum was suddenly pinned to the top. Nearly ten million players from the European server flooded into the post, shouting and shouting.
[Goodbye, war expedition online!] [I really want to continue playing, but I really canât hold on any longer.]
[Op: the s.h.i.+ning Knight]
[Details: Iâm a late-stage cancer patient. When I knew that I didnât have long to live, I once self-destructed and even thought of ending my life with suicide. At least, I wouldnât be tortured by the pain anymore.] Although Iâm very reluctant to leave my parents and relatives, I really canât bear to live like this anymore, because every chemotherapy is a nightmare.
My hair fell off in bunches, and my teeth gradually fell out. Looking at my weak self in the mirror, I even felt that I didnât look like a human at all.
Just as I was gathering my courage to end my life, I happened to meet an online battle. It was also this battle that gave me the motivation to continue.
I met a lot of good friends and made a lot of good comrades here. They are my biggest gain in the game.
Iâve learned a lot from being with them, and Iâve also understood a lot.
I still remember when I mustered the courage to tell you that I might not live for more than a few months. Your encouragement and comfort really touched me. It was also your company that made me optimistic and gave me the courage to face death.
âŚâŚ
After half a year, I was about to face my last chemotherapy. I was very weak at the moment. Although I had the courage to face the most terrifying outcome, there were still many things in my heart that I couldnât bear to part with. I couldnât bear to part with my parents and family, I couldnât bear to part with the battle online, and I couldnât bear to part with my good friends and brothers in the game.
This post might be my last words, so Iâd better leave some instructions.
Allen, after I leave, youâll be the main tank of the team. You must protect our teammates, especially Jessica. Sheâs really a cute little priest.
Alva, you still owe me 23 soul coins. If thereâs a chance, Iâll definitely get this debt back, so cheer up and make money for me (happy~)
Yuna, youâre the most skilled player in the party. Keep it up and head towards your goal of being the number one Warlock. I believe youâll succeed.
[Jessica, you little priest, you should practice your skills more. Donât be unable to find a target to heal. Let everyone save some trouble (knock on the head).]
âŚâŚ
Mr. Lionheart, if you see this post, I would like to tell you that Iâm your little fan and I often watch your tutorial videos. In my eyes, youâre the strongest, no one is second to you. You must lead our European server to rise!
âŚâŚ
Finally, I actually have a small wish.
âI really want to see the day when we, the European players, can reach the top. I really long for that day to come, and then Iâll cheer with you.
The May Day event is coming soon, and I really want to do the event and go crazy with you guys.
Unfortunately, I might be finished on this May Day (smile)
Goodbye, calamity grades, or perhaps I wonât see you again.
âŚâŚ
At this moment, tens of millions of players from the European server flooded into this post, calling out to this player who loved conquests online.
âBrother, wake up! We did it! Weâre the Champions!â
âBrother, come back! Your dream has come true! Weâre the top in the European server!â
âIâm replying to your post. Brother, are you still there?â
âDid you see that? We Are the Champions! We are number one!â
âWe won the champions.h.i.+p. Come back and celebrate with us. Donât sleep!â
âŚâŚ
The players from the European server were all calling out to this player under the post.
At this moment, all the players in the European server wanted to tell him that it was his idol Mr. Reinhardt who won the champions.h.i.+p for them. His dream had come true, so come back and celebrate with us!
However, the playerâs last message was on April 29th, and there was no more sound after that.
Meanwhile, his team members received the last piece of news from the playerâs parents, telling the players in the European server that he had left âŚ
After hearing the news, the players who got first place in the event did not cheer. Instead, they quietly left comments at the bottom of the post, reminiscing.
The champion was the final farewell gift from the players of the European server to their beloved âwar onlineâ.
At the bottom of the post were the unified replies of the players from the European server.
May there be no sickness in heaven, see you again, comrades. European server calamity Army x.x.x
