Coeus unexpectedly cast aside it’s two ure shuddered as they fell to earth The suit swept its left arainst it With a hty pull Coeus forced Thor to lurch in to a shoulder smash

The juke and pull completely neutralized Thor’s thrust It was masterfully executed, effortless, and see from a distance, one could see Coeus and Thor, devoured by the terrifying light of Triton’s Parting of the Waters!

Thor’s defensive capabilities were second only to Tritons in their little band of pilots However, the sapphire y in the previous strike, leaving nothing left to protect itself How could it be expected to sustain such a horrible attack?

Zeus’ enor of the Waters A series of shuddering explosions followed Although the blasts didn’t seem as apocalyptic as those Cerberus had suffered, it was clearly the end of the fight for Thor

Coeus’ slowly turned in midair Scrapes and dents had appeared all across it’s forure s, the mecha looked like a demon come to earth

Under the circuers and cae than one would expect Meanwhile, both Cerberus and Thor were defeated Only one re desolate and inhospitable to Triton, as it hovered in the air a distance froh he knew Coeus had sustained severe daainst his two friends, Hua Li was also keenly aware that their leader had yet to use his strongest attacks He calculated about sixty percent energy reserves re to feel hopeless

“Boss, there doesn’t appear to be any need to continue…”

Triton lifted itshuffed There was a flash, and he was gone

Lan Jue and Chu Cheng aiting outside by the door to the Arena Both of their faces were sier and depression They were each very aware they couldn’t take Lan Qing on individually, but they hadn’t thought they’d be so handily beat on purethey couldn’t find their rhythm This was certainly one reason for their dour expressions, but ap between the three of them, and their leader

Lan Jue had felt he’d impressed lately, both physically and in his Discipline He should be equal to his brother! This fight served to clearly and incontrovertibly underline the difference that re, and waited until Poseidon and Pro

They didn’t even need to ask – their fate had been sealed frohed in unison

Prometheus displayed no pride in his victory He swept his eyes over the other three “Are you aware of why you lost so quickly?” his quiet voice expressed

Chu Cheng spoke first, his tone full of bitterness “Even from the start, we knew in our hearts eren’t a nored our advantage”

“You have a wealth of combat experience over us,” Lan Jue interjected “You knew to take every advantage posed to you”

Hua Li thought for a e the moment it became three on one We had no momentum I believe that, if we’d coether, each of us would have pushed to our highest point in the battle You wouldn’t have co nodded with each deter this, even training until your hands bleed and you collapse from exhaustion, you still would never catch up to er flair “Why?” he shot back

Lan Qing, unperturbed the tone, went on “None of you have experienced true suffering You haven’t been tempered in the fire Were you the leaders of men, your companies would be defeated in short order Routed If you had to fight off assassins an average of three times a week… if you had the level of crisis awareness and experience that I did, then you could be my equal 2 If you truly seek power, you need to step out of your comfortable existence None of you have any less talent than I The difference is your desire to iet close to me A-Li is incorrect 3 – even if you came at me one at a time, in the end the only result is your inevitable defeat You sih”

Were it anyone else, the three Monarchs would balk at their arrogance But this was Pro’s laugh was hard and full of hurt “So what, you want us all to be soldiers? We’re all fro if one day we’d face each other in battle”

Prometheus’ eyes softened appreciably “Unlikely At least for the next little while, on’t need to worry about civil human strife”
