Chapter 581 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (7)
''Evelyn!''
''Evelyn!''
''Evelyn!''
A loud cheers for Lady Evelyn echoed in the arena.
In the Whitelock Residence, Isabella frowned, and asked, ''Why is everyone cheering for her? To me, it looks like they are bullying her opponent.''
Maxwell rubbed his chin with a frown. The scene looked like a bunch of radicalists cheering for their god.
The Internet had mixed reactions.
[*****: Lady Evelyn is so beautiful!]
[*****: This is nothing but bullying]
[*****: It's that bitch's fault for trying to attack our queen!]
[*****: This is a battle. The whole point is to attack each other. What should she do? Stand there, and let her attack? This isn't a popularity contest, but to decide who is the strongest one]
[*****: Another heretic daring to sully our queen's name. How sad]
...
In the Cosmic Idol Agency, the employees watched with flushed cheeks as Lady Evelyn was winning. Their hearts continued to beat with excitement as they murmured to each other. They all thought about how amazing their 'Queen' was.
Jupiter watched the screen with a pained expression. To see everyone cheering that witch made him feel like someone had dug their claws into his heart. It made him sick, and mad.
...
''Lalalala!'' Lady Evelyn's beautiful voice echoed across the air. She again started signing. This time, she aimed to defeat Lady Noelle.
''Haaahh...'' Lady Noelle stood in the middle of the destroyed fruits. Most of her outfits were dirtied by them, and her previously beautiful hair was messy.
Then, a circuits of electricity flashed across her eyes. They were a golden color.
''Die...'' Lady Evelyn whispered seductively while thinking, 'Ugly bitch. This shall be a lesson to you, and everyone else... beauty is one's power.'
''Mmm...'' Goddess Aphrodite hummed merily while watching the scene behold.
Isaac watched alone in his waiting room. The scene made him furrow his brows. It looked like everyone was brainwashed. Even after he heard the singing voice seeping through the walls, he felt slightly strange at heart.
However, he managed to shrug it off before he became another worshipper.
The atmosphere heated up in the arena as the song filled the air. While Lady Evelyn sang, it looked like even the nearby park bushes, and trees swayed alongside the song lyrics. Like she was the center of the world.
''Haaaaa, laaaaaaaaa!'' The decibel level of Lady Evelyn's voice increased. As the vibrations in the air grew, they caused an invisible shockwave to travel across the atmosphere. Moving in the direction of Lady Noelle.
''Haaah...'' Letting out a gentle breath of air, Lady Noelle moved her arms in fluid movement. It looked like she was about to start running.
Her class, Thief, was mostly for robbing, and fighting. However, after receiving her legacy, it was modified. While the game registered it as the same thief class, it was actually a Superior Thief.
Everyone watched as the ground cracked apart as the shockwave flew over it. They were certain that Lady Noelle would lose. She had lost all her will to win after getting hated by everyone.
They had already started to prepare to cheer for Lady Evelyn while beginning to anticipate the next fight.
Lady Noelle's beautiful face shone underneath the shining light. As the shockwave reached her figure, she moved to the side. However, that single step caused her to move to the ends of the streets. After her body stopped moving, she cracked her neck, and turned towards the distant Lady Evelyn.
Lady Evelyn stood still in her current position, hundreds of meters away from her. Her eyes shook as she thought she saw a golden lightning suddenly snatching Noelle.
''W-Where?'' She looked around, and couldn't see anything after the shockwave destroyed the wall of the nearby building. Noelle vanished.
The audience looked confused. They blinked, and after that, the scene was over. Lady Noelle had disappeared.
''She is there!'' Suddenly, one of the audience member thought about checking the screens. Everyone turned towards one of the screens. It showed Lady Noelle moving into a sprinting stance. They were shocked, and confused.
How did she get there?
''W-What?'' Xerxus jumped to his feet. Shock reflecting off his face. Now he understood what Mercury said about his brother. But why did Hermes do that?
''Hermes believes in fate.'' Mercury said with his lips curved, ''This might be fate.''
''Fate...'' Xerxus' eyes softened as he saw golden lightning circling around Lady Noelle's figure.
''Lady Evelyn, she is there!'' The male audience members decided to help their queen one more time.
Lady Evelyn turned to the far end of the street. She was shocked to see a woman covered in golden lightning.
'How did she appear there?' She thought, with a shock. However, she quickly decided to ask for more help from her worshippers. She carefully flipped through her hair, revealing her delicate face.
Most of the male members felt their hearts racing with cheeks flushed. It was a miracle that heart pupils didn't appear in their eyes.
She opened her mouth, about to sing one more time. However, at that moment, the golden lightning moved.
Swoosh... With a strike of lightning, Lady Noelle appeared before her, and grabbed her by the face.
Without stopping running, Lady Noelle ran straight through a nearby building while using Lady Evelyn's head as a wrecking ball.
''No, Lady Evelyn!''
''UGH!'' Lady Evelyn's figure crashed through several buildings. The back of her skull was stained with blue blood. Her health bar showed a scary decrease.
''P-Please, don't!''
After crashing on the ground, the golden lightning reappeared before her. Lady Noelle pulled her daggers, and stabbed them into Lady Evelyn's chest. As she spat mouthful of blood, Lady Noelle kicked the ground, and ran through a dozen buildings while holding Lady Evelyn with the daggers.
Lady Noelle, with a cold look, continued running through the buildings like they were made of clay. However, soon the figure held by her daggers vanished into a cloud of pixels. The last thing she saw was Lady Evelyn's disfigured face.
Her whole body was like a meatpaste.
Lady Noelle slowly stopped running, and turned towards the floating cameras. She smiled, and showed a peace sign, ''Stuuuuuuupid!''
