Extra Chapter 8: Extraordinary Sports Meet

Chapter 770 Extra Chapter 8: Extraordinary Sports Meet

In the stadium's broadcast booth, commentator Brooke said, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first Extraordinary Games, a competition that transcends time and space!"

"I'm commentator Brooke, and this is our special guest today, 'Iceberg Admiral' Edwina Edwards."

The oval-faced "iceberg general" said unhurriedly, "Hello everyone."

We invited her as a special guest today because she is very knowledgeable and can help explain or interpret some of her extraordinary abilities.

The audience immediately erupted in enthusiastic applause, some of whom were crew members of the "Golden Dreamland," and they were the first to applaud.

Other spectators included the official extraordinary contingent of the Atlantis Empire, the contingent of the Church of the True God, the contingent of secret organizations, and the "Amon Contingent," among others.

Commentator Brooke: "I can feel everyone's enthusiasm and anticipation for the upcoming match."

"The competition is about to begin! The first event is track and field, the 100-kilometer sprint!"

"Now, please welcome the contestants. As we can see, the first athlete to enter is Mr. Hermes, the 'Insightful One'!"

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Brooke laughed and said, "If it weren't for an extraordinary match, I would have thought that an old gentleman like this was the referee."

"Oh no, the referee seems to be a bit old too."

"Alright, now it's time for our second contestant, 'Elder of Foul Language' Steifer."

There was almost no reaction from the audience, except for the Aurora Club spectators in the hidden formation who cheered loudly.

The commentator explained: "I think many people don't know this contestant. He is an angel of the 'Church of the True Creator' and has been in the 'Forsaken Land' since the early Fourth Age."

"Alright, the third contestant has entered the stage, that is Pope Gad II of the Church of Storms!"

The Church of the Righteous God's contingent applauded enthusiastically, and many members of the Church of Storms even unleashed lightning to cheer on the Pope.

Brooke continued, "The fourth contestant is the rarely seen Viev. Ms. Edwards, I'm not even very familiar with this contestant's background. Do you know her story?"

Edwina said calmly, "It is recorded in the Holy Scriptures of the Church of the Eternal Sun that he was a 'Light Chaser'."

Flattery murmurs erupted from the audience: "Truly a learned captain!"

The commentator smiled and said, "Thanks to 'Iceberg General' for the explanation. Now we're back on the field. Player number five has entered the arena. Oh my god, it's Amon!"

"Hehe, this is Amon who just failed to compete for the title of 'Lord of Mysteries'. At present, he is just a 'Trojan Horse of Fate'. Are the Amons in the audience just for him to bluff?"

"Oh no, it seems my explanation has angered Amon. He's talking to me..."

The commentator's voice suddenly disappeared from the microphone. Two or three seconds later, "Iceberg General" cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Amon, please return the commentator, or you will lose your chance to play."

Brook then revealed himself: "Oh my god, well, I must admit, even if Amon is just a 'Trojan Horse of Fate,' he's still a very strong contender!"

The commentator calmed down slightly and continued, "Let's continue. Contestant number six is ​​Antigonus! After losing the uniqueness of 'The Fool' and a characteristic of 'Mysterious Servant,' he has become quite normal."

"Oh, contestant number seven is also in position, it's Ms. Fors Wall! She's now a 'Planetary Planeswalker'!"

The Atlantis contingent erupted in applause!

Brook continued his commentary: "All the players are in position, and we can see that the referees are also present."

"Now let me briefly explain the rules. Each contestant can use their extraordinary abilities and can also attack each other. The first contestant to ring the bronze bell 100 kilometers away from the starting point will be the winner of this competition!"

"It should be noted that it is a bell provided by Emperor Hobert of Atlantis. It cannot be 'stolen,' cannot be damaged by any extraordinary power, and will not be affected by any extraordinary power. Unless the contestant shakes the bell hammer in the middle, it will not make any sound."

"While the contestants are making their final preparations, let's invite 'General Iceberg' to introduce the favorites to win the championship!"

Edwina said, "There are many favorites to win this time, such as 'Light Chaser' Viev and the Pope of the Church of Storms, also known as 'Cataclysm' Gad II. One is as fast as light, and the other is as fast as lightning. They both have considerable advantages."

"And Amon also has the ability to steal distance and instantly appear at the finish line, an ability that should not be ignored."

"Not to mention Ms. Fors, for the angels on this route, 100 kilometers is just a short distance, and they can almost 'flash' to the destination."

"I think all four players are favorites to win the championship."

She paused and then said, "Finally, let's talk about the other three contestants. Although Hermes, the 'Insightful One,' is a 'Spectator' pathway angel with bizarre abilities, she doesn't have a clear advantage in speed."

"There are two other contestants, 'Elder of Foul Language' Steifer and 'Miracleist' Antigonus. Although they can travel from the Spirit World to their destination, they will definitely be a step slower than the other contestants."

"Of course, if there is a fast path among the spirits herded by the 'Elder of Filthy Words,' then this second contestant can also compete for first place."

"Finally, I want to clarify that the above is entirely based on my exceptional commentary skills; the actual results will depend on the players' performance on the day."

Commentator Brooke said, "Let's thank the beautiful 'Iceberg General' for the wonderful commentary. We can see that the athletes have made their final preparations and have come to their respective tracks. The race is about to begin!"

"Okay, the referee has signaled the players to take their positions."

"The referee raised his gun... Wait a minute, the referee clearly gave the order, but why didn't we hear a gunshot?"

"Oh my god, it's not that there were no shots fired, but that Amon stole the sound and used it to distract the other players, gaining an advantage."

"Heh, all I can say is, Ah Meng is still the same Ah Meng!"

Brooke spoke faster and faster: "However, the other contestants also reacted quickly, but Amon had already gained the upper hand. He stole the distance and appeared at the finish line first."

"Haha, a magical scene has appeared. As soon as He appeared at the finish line, He was covered by a phantom light gate. Oh, it was Fors who made the move. She sent Amon back to the starting point!"

"At this point, Viev and Gad II are evenly matched in ability and tied for first place. However, we see that Fors did not compete for first place, but instead prioritized sending Amon back to the starting point. It seems that there is some personal grudge between them."

His speech was so fast that he didn't need to breathe, and he could say several sentences per second, yet the audience could still hear him clearly, which was obviously due to some extraordinary ability.

Brook continued, firing off like a machine gun: "Oh, I just realized that Antigonus is still at the starting line!"

"What is He doing? He seems to be making a wish? Is it too late to wish for first place now?"

"My God, a huge wave suddenly surged up at the finish line of the race. Who could have imagined that a tsunami would occur on the race track where there is no sea around!"

"No, it was Gad II who made the move. He easily passed through the tsunami, but the tsunami struck the other contestants instead."

"This tsunami is really strange. Just as Viev was about to transform into a beam of light and rush into the sky to avoid the tsunami, a huge whirlpool appeared in the tsunami! This whirlpool actually sucked her in."

"No, no, no, I wasn't sucked in. What was sucked in was a phantom of Viev, which transformed into a pure white ball of light and rose into the air."

"He was like a little sun, illuminating the entire arena. It wasn't just a bright light; we saw that Gad II, who was about to grab the rope below the bronze bell, suddenly stopped!"

"Viev's intense light also has the effect of preventing people from having any thoughts!"

"Ah, just now, Amon, who had just returned to the starting point, stole Gard II's position. Amon is now closest to the bronze bell!"

"But Amun was trapped; he was trapped by his own shadow!"

"We see that Stevie and Hermes, who are in the second wave, have caught up!"

"As 'Iceberg General' just said, although some abilities are faster, the players' performance on the spot is also crucial!"

"The first group of contestants have already engaged in fierce competition, and none of them have been able to win the rope. At this time, the second group has caught up!"

"The competition became even more intense. Viev, who had transformed into a ball of light, landed and passed over Amon. She was about to take the rope of the bronze bell."

"Wait, why did He go somewhere else? Why did He shake the pillar supporting the bronze bell? According to the rules, shaking the bell like that won't make it ring."

"Oh, I see, He was hypnotized by Mr. Hermes! He mistook the pillar for the rope of the bronze bell!"

"My God, just as Ms. Edwina said, the 'Audience' pathway's abilities are extremely strange..."

"No, no, no, I take back what I just said, because an even stranger thing happened: Antigonus suddenly appeared next to the pillar supporting the bronze bell without any warning."

"Could it be that He wished to appear next to the bronze bell instantly?"

"We don't have time to make specific guesses now. The appearance of a head on each of 'Elder of Foul Words' Steve's shoulders indicates that He is about to use His Shepherding abilities!"

"The head on his left shoulder instantly became extremely alluring. He used the witch's power, and Antigonus's legs turned to stone, causing him to fall to the ground!"

"We see Antigonus is trying to climb the rope to the bronze bell, but he is a step too late."

"Steifer overtook Antigonus, and he picked up the rope. The first place was going to... wait a minute, he handed the rope to Hermes, who was right behind him?"

"What the heck? What kind of operation is this?"

"Ah, I see. Hermes hypnotized Steifer, he must have hypnotized this 'Elder of Filthy Words'."

"When exactly? I know, it must have been when the two of them were both in the second tier. That's when Hermes had already quietly invaded Stevie's mind!"

"Now the rope will be handed to Hermes. We see three contestants gathered around the bronze bell: Steifer and Hermes, who are standing, and Antigonus, who is crawling a little further away."

"To be honest, Antigonus is at a disadvantage in participating in such a competition! His abilities are more suited to operating in the shadows rather than confronting his opponents head-on!"

"In the blink of an eye, the situation changed again. We saw a phantom door appear on Steve's chest, and Fors appeared next to the bronze bell!"

Hermes was just a hair's breadth away from taking the rope, but Fors snatched it first!

"She swung the rope, ready to ring the bronze bell..."

"No, no, no, the situation has changed again. Amon and Fors have exchanged fates. At this moment, half of Amon's body is sticking out of Steve's chest, while Fors is trapped in the distance by his own shadow!"

"Good heavens, this battle isn't over yet. Fors has trapped Amon and Steifer in a secret realm..."

Clang~

The bronze bell was rung!

Bruce stood up excitedly: "The bell has been rung, and unexpectedly, it was Antigonus who rang it!"

"My God, it's no exaggeration to call it a miracle, because just now, He was still at a disadvantage, crawling towards the bronze bell."

"Look, at this moment He passed Hermes, firmly grasped the rope, and rang the bronze bell!"

"At this time, Fors was dealing with Amon, Hermes was breaking Stefer's hypnosis, hoping to use Stefer to deal with Amon, and Viev and Gard II were also attacking each other."

"At that very moment, Antigonus suddenly struck and won first place! This result was completely unexpected!"

The commentator took a deep breath: "Ms. Edwina, from a professional perspective, what are your comments on this unexpected victory?"

"This may not have been an accidental victory," Edwina said. "I think when Antigonus made his wish, he was most likely trying to make himself luckier."

"As you just said, Antigonus is not very good at confronting other contestants head-on. When we saw Him make His first move, He appeared next to the bronze bell while the other contestants were entangled in a fight and the situation was chaotic."

"It takes a lot of luck, because if you're early or late, you're likely to be affected by attacks from other players."

"And the moment He took the rope required even more luck, at which point the other six contestants were attacking each other, and they all believed that the legs were the truth. Antigonus, crawling forward, would need another second or two to get close to the bronze bell."

"But Antigonus suddenly appeared beneath the bell and seized the rope."

"I believe that his previous crawling advance was merely a way to lull his opponents into a false sense of security."

The commentator exclaimed, "So, he won first place by using his intelligence?"

"You could say that," Edwina said. "Of course, his tactic also has a fatal flaw: if it is figured out, he will lose his chance at first place."

"Amon, who has the corresponding power of destiny, is most likely to perceive Antigonus's tactics. However, at the beginning, Amon rushed too aggressively and did not handle interpersonal relationships well, so he was targeted by the other players."

"So Amon was too busy dealing with it to notice this."

Brooke added, "I have one last question: how did Antigonus appear beside the bell? I think many people believe that His wish was to appear beside the bell."

Edwina smiled and said, "We can watch the replay. Please replay the part where He made the wish."

"Look closely, while making his wish, he also turned a part of the ground above into his own puppet. So he reached the bronze bell by exchanging positions with the non-living puppets multiple times."

Brooke exclaimed, "I heard the applause and cheers from the audience! This wonderful match touched every spectator!"

"The Extraordinary Games are still ongoing, let's take a look at the situation at other venues..."
