Chapter 2668: Stop! Stop Right Now!
"Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat~"
Ta Luo let out a burst of rapid punches, hammering them all across Heiyan Star's face, leaving it pitted with acne-like craters and spewing magma!
He actually managed to knock Heiyan Star flying, the fierce impact making it skip across the river surface like a stone!
How could Yakeli pass up such a golden opportunity?
He transformed into a bloody meteor and slammed viciously into Heiyan Star!
All the impact force stored within the Blood Crystal was released at that moment!
Heiyan Star spun in a circle, tracing an elegant arc across the river, rocketing toward the goal at a speed even faster than when it arrived!
Jiangnan's eyes went wide: (*ﾟﾛﾟ) "Oh? A banana ball? Triumph Group Army, fall back! Fall back!"
Upon receiving the order, the Triumph Army immediately got excited!
We couldn't shine on the battlefield, but on the field we will dominate!
Each and every one of them rubbed their hands in anticipation!
Qin Shou laughed heartily: (｡･ˇ↼ˇ･) "Move aside! I got this—back in the day, I was the captain of Guihua Elementary School's soccer team. Our dream was to make it to the national championships!"
"I even led our school team to a glorious 11th place in the county-level competition!"
"Today, let me show you all what real footwork looks like!"
Hua Ling immediately ratted him out: "Report! I went to the same elementary school as Qin Shou. There were only 12 schools in the county. The last place team didn't show up because they had diarrhea..."
Everyone looked at Qin Shou with disdain. How could you even say that with a straight face?
But even being called out, Qin Shou wasn't the least bit embarrassed!
"I'm no longer the same person I used to be! Watch my footwork!"
With that, he charged straight at the incoming Heiyan Star!
At first, Heiyan Star didn't look that big—seemed normal enough.
But as it rapidly closed in, it grew larger and larger in everyone's vision!
In their excitement, they had overlooked this little detail. This was, after all, a solid planet!
Blue Star was only a bit over ten thousand kilometers in diameter, and Heiyan Star was at least thirty thousand kilometers!
Qin Shou's big flying kick barely left his foot before he felt something was wrong. He turned back and said:
(⚆益⚆‧̣̥̇) "Maybe I am still the same person after all! This ball—Yakeli put eighty percent of his power into it. I'm afraid I can't handle it?"
But looking back was a mistake. The Triumph Group Army was already fleeing for their lives!
A whole planet was hurtling toward them! What kind of soccer match was this?
Most of the Triumph Group Army were Star Glory or Dao Heaven level, nowhere near capable of casually playing with planets.
Even someone like Xiao Chuihuo, at his Dao Heaven level, couldn't kick planets around for fun.
And on the Ming He River, the terrifying Ming He Force Field suppressed their abilities, forcing them to rely purely on physical fitness.
How could they possibly kick a planet?
To play in the Starry Sky Hercules Cup, you had to be at least Star Breaker level!
And so Qin Shou and the Triumph Group Army were in for a bad time.
No matter how desperately they fled, they couldn't dodge Heiyan Star's impact!
Like meteorites, they burned with bright tails of flame and slammed hard into Heiyan Star's surface!
With their very bodies, they demonstrated which came first—the meteor or the crater.
Fortunately, Yakeli's Blood God Armor absorbed some of the impact.
But even so, Heiyan Star ended up with a faceful of craters!
Bo Deng raised his hand high:
٩(°ꇴ°〃) "Over here! Kick it over here!"
Sa Mo received the ball, delivered a golden right foot to Heiyan Star, and passed to Bo Deng!
But Da Lang Mie turned into a silver streak, shot over, and with a wolf-kick to the planet, sent Heiyan Star flying toward Zhong Yingxue!
(∗❛ั◡❛ั) "Snowy, catch!"
The field now became a madhouse. Humans and the Star Chaos Army feverishly passed and kicked the ball, all trying to shoot Heiyan Star into the opponent's goal!
Heiyan Star couldn't count how many kicks it had taken by now. Its face was covered in enormous shoe prints, kicked until it spewed magma, cold tears smearing across its face!
(Ϡ꒦ິ3꒦ີ) "You're all so righteous! You treat me like a ball, like a football!"
"You don't really want to play soccer—you just want to beat me up!"
Truly—tearing off someone's head and kicking it around like a ball!
Jiangnan cackled with glee:
(☛՞ꇴ՞)☛ "Guessed right! But no prize. Take my Mighty Vajra Kick! Hyaa~!"
At this moment, the Matter Alliance stared at the thousand-plus fiercely contested matches on the Ming He, utterly dumbfounded!
They weren't the only ones—the myriad races of the starry sky were all stunned!
What kind of demonic entertainment was this?
Was it a little too brutal?
Throwing Celestial Star Race members into the Ming He and kicking them around like soccer balls?
Immortal Kingdom's face turned green. This was worse than just killing them!
(ง｀益´)ง "Jiangnan! You have no shame! You're not human! You demon! Stop! Stop right now, you hear me?"
"This is prisoner abuse! My Celestial Star Race has no face left!"
Jiangnan curled his lips disdainfully:
(｡͡°▿͡°) "Huh? You want me to stop just because you said so? Then I'd lose face, wouldn't I?"
"Since you won't trade your base planets, how I deal with these Celestial Star members is my business. Don't bother my game!"
Immortal Kingdom was so angry it was practically having volcanic eruptions!
Nobody does things like this!
Now every Celestial Star soldier panicked. If they ended up in Jiangnan's hands, wouldn't they be kicked around like balls too?
The matches on the Ming He grew more and more heated. And how could such a lively field be without background music?
Suo Na on the field pulled out the War Horn and started singing!
(♫ಡヮಡ)ᕤ "The Hercules Cup is really great, welcome to the Ming He party~"
"Dumb dumb la~ ay ay~"
At that point, he shoved the War Horn right up to Heiyan Star's mouth. Seeing Xiao Chuihuo's mighty flying kick coming, Heiyan panicked and shouted:
(⚆益⚆Ϡ) "Whoa whoa whoa~ ay ay~!"♪♩
Suo Na: (♪ᵒ̶̶̷̀ヮ˂̶́)ᕤ "Throwing money away~ for the Celestial Star Race~!"♩♪
♪ "Oh wow, goal scored~!"♩
Watching Heiyan Star get kicked into the goal by Xiao Chuihuo, the human side erupted in huge cheers!
The atmosphere was at its peak!
Jiangnan looked at Suo Na with a twitching mouth.
As expected of you! When Suo Na makes a move, you know he's got it!
Both the rhythm and lyrics were top-notch. Maybe this song would spread across the starry sky as the Hercules Cup theme song?
Ta Luo was unconvinced. He had failed to defend the goal!
He grabbed Heiyan Star, kicked it back onto the field, and restarted the game!
"Damn it, again!"
Heiyan Star, its face covered in shoe prints, was already crying. No, no, it was going to break!
Couldn't they pick another ball to torment? Maybe a halftime break?
How could anyone endure this?
The human side wasn't the only one playing fiercely.
The Insect Race and Parasite Entity side were even more intense. Chong Laoliu was afraid the Parasite clan didn't have enough players, so he lent them some of his own!
The field was filled with bugs—one side black, one side blood red.
They were playing with three balls at once, so crowded that passing was impossible. The two teams circled around the three balls and kicked wildly, each trying to force the ball into the opponent's goal.
But compared to a soccer match, this looked more like a gang beatdown.
Those three Celestial Star soldiers were already completely wrecked.
What kind of ultimate torture was this?
As soon as the Starry Sky Hercules Cup began, various races of the Carbon Alliance were captivated by the charm of the game!
How had they never known there was such a fun activity in the starry sky?
They had wasted so many years!
On the crystal stage, Yue Li and Zhi Yin gave passionate commentary. Even the young men and women of the Enchanting Race changed into cool planet-cup cheerleader outfits and wildly cheered!
The atmosphere on the Ming He field was one of pure joy!
And this scene was not only broadcast across the starry sky by the Star Network, but also on humanity's Sea Star Network!
They even set up betting channels specifically for this event—quite comprehensive.
Back on Blue Star, human compatriots were dumbfounded. Were humans already so fierce that they kicked planets around for fun in the starry sky?
In the Sea of Star Embers, many races were infected by the fiery atmosphere of the Hercules Cup.
A trace of longing appeared in their eyes. They even wanted to join in, because it looked really fun!
On the sidelines, the Celestial Star members waiting to be kicked were almost scared to death.
Watching their own kind get stomped on by countless people on the field, brains nearly kicked out—how could they not be afraid?
And knowing they would soon be on the field being used as balls themselves, their spirits shattered before they even got kicked.
(;´༎ຶ口༎ຶ`) "Death! Let me die! I beg you! I absolutely do not want to be that ball on the field!"
"Hell! This is hell! Jiangnan, you demon! Save me! Lord Mai Liushi, save us!"
At that moment, the Celestial Star soldiers started crying for their mommies and daddies.
Only now did they truly realize that there were far more terrifying things in the world than death!
And at this moment, Gangyu Star obediently stayed put in the core placement area, not daring to move.
He witnessed this brutal scene with his own eyes!
What kind of human hell was this?
Jiangnan was human, but he really wasn't human!
Gangyu was so scared he didn't dare to move. Once discovered, he would be the one getting kicked on the field!
But this fear, which penetrated to the very soul, still made him tremble uncontrollably.
The Netherworld Race warriors on guard duty looked at the fiery field with longing.
Suddenly, one Netherworld warrior turned his head toward Gangyu Star.
(๑•̌.•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "Hmm? What's going on? Didn't that base planet just shake a little?"
(︶ヮ︶〃)ﾉ "Ah, don't worry about it. It's a planet, earthquakes happen all the time, right? Oh, the Apocalypse Race scored again? It's a close match!"
Gangyu: !!!
I am dead! I am a base planet!
Even if they beat me to death, I can't be discovered!
Brothers, forgive me. I'm too useless to save you from this misery.
I am pathetic!
At this moment, on the Sequence Throne, Mai Liushi went completely berserk!
"Little rabbit bastard! Stop right now! I'll fight you to the death! I~%?…;#*'☆!"
