In the final attack, Arthur cornered Ryuto. Just when everyone thought there was no hope, Kaka's figure suddenly disappeared. In the next moment, Kaka appeared above Arthur's head and kicked him to the ground. Although it looked effective, the attack didn't cause much damage due to its low power. However, this alone was enough to astonish the audience, who exclaimed in surprise.
"Arthur actually fell to the ground."
"I can't believe it. He was defeated by the weakest character, Kaka."
"What happened? Wasn't Kaka close to death just now? Why is it Arthur who fell to the ground?"
"Could it be a bug?"
"I've never seen this kind of scene before."
The opponent was strong, and despite standing up immediately after being knocked down, the situation remained grim. One more hit from Kaka and he would be defeated, while Arthur was almost at full health.
Soon, Arthur launched another attack. Because of the overwhelming advantage in the situation, there was no need to worry. However, all of his attacks were evaded one by one, causing the crowd to exclaim once again.
"Is Kaka really that agile?"
"Even the fastest character, 'Xun Zou,' inside the game can't be that agile."
"How is this possible? According to the game's operation, it's almost impossible to make such complex movements."
The crowd subconsciously turned their gaze towards the operator, Ryuto, and couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.
"What is that?"
"How can he operate at such speed?"
"We can't see his movements at all."
"Look at his eyes."
Following one person's suggestion, everyone shifted their focus from Ryuto's hands to his eyes, and couldn't help but gasp in unison.
"This...how is this possible..."
As if finding it hard to believe what they were seeing, their voices trembled a bit as they stated the incredible truth.
"He is actually...playing with his eyes closed. This is too unbelievable."
The crowd was in awe.
"Can he really judge just by sound?"
The attendant noticed as well and turned his head to look at the boss, who was still stunned, muttering to himself.
"It's over."
He said the same incomprehensible words as before.
The King of Unbeatable, who felt the greatest pressure on the scene, couldn't help but wonder. What was going on? Why did he find it so difficult to hit his opponent for the first time? Was the opponent really a newbie? Was this really the weakest character, Kaka? In his eyes, Kaka, the weakest character, seemed to be growing larger and larger. The extraordinary movements surpassed not only the limits of the machine, but also the imagination itself. Then, the King of Unbeatable couldn't help but voice his terrifying speculation.
"Is the one I'm fighting really a human?"
The battle was still one-sided, but it was heading in a different direction. On the surface, it looked like Arthur was constantly attacking, but it was Arthur who was continuously losing health, while Kaka was continuously evading and counterattacking with clever moves. Although the attacks were weak, Arthur's health was also dropping rapidly.
Perhaps realizing that it would be disastrous to continue like this, the King of Unbeatable decided to use his ultimate move, causing the knowledgeable audience to exclaim.
"Oh no, the King of Unbeatable is going to use his ultimate move."
"The reason why Arthur is considered the strongest character is largely because of that ultimate move."
"That ultimate move is so fast that it's impossible to dodge, making it almost invincible."
"Although it can be directly blocked, Kaka's health is almost depleted, so blocking won't work."
"Is it over?"
A sense of helplessness arose among the audience.
At the same time, as Arthur unleashed his ultimate move, a massive shockwave surged towards Kaka. Almost at the same time, Kaka also unleashed his ultimate move.
Once again, the crowd was perplexed.
"So, what is Kaka's ultimate move?"
"I don't know. Few people play as Kaka, and his health is so low that he gets killed in two or three hits before the skill gauge is full. So hardly anyone knows what Kaka's ultimate move is."
"But even with an ultimate move, it can't surpass Arthur's ultimate move, and it's launched after Arthur's, so it's pointless."Despairing voices once again came from the audience.
In an instant, a massive shockwave hit Kaka, engulfing him.
Finally, the undefeated king couldn't help but feel triumphant.
But in the next moment, both the desperate crowd and the undefeated king, who thought they had won, were utterly shocked.
The enormous shockwave rebounded back after hitting Kaka, and in another instant, it struck Arthur, the original initiator. Arthur fell weakly due to his own invincible shockwave.
The scene calmed down momentarily, a stark contrast to the previous commotion. People were too shocked to react. Only Ryuto slowly opened his eyes, stretched his hand, calmly stood up, and walked off the stage.
After a few seconds of silence, the venue suddenly became noisy again, even louder than before. Among the noise were cheers, astonishment, and various other sounds.
"That was a rebound just now. So, Kaka's ability is to rebound!"
"This is a skill that only works at the perfect timing."
"Oh my...the strongest Arthur was defeated by the weakest Kaka, and he was utterly destroyed despite having just a sliver of health left."
"Who the hell is that guy!"
At this moment, a trembling voice among the audience spoke up.
"Could it be...the God of ACG!"
With that sentence, the venue erupted with noise once more.
"He's the legendary God of ACG!"
"I've only heard about him; I never expected it was him!"
"The god above the Super King..."
Amidst the crowd's exclamations, Ryuto walked towards Hiyori, who had been standing there since the beginning.
"Hiyori, I'm sorry for making you wait so long."
"It's fine. Although I don't understand it all, I never expected Lord Ryuto to be this amazing!"
Hiyori shook her head and spoke with a slightly joyful tone.
"Indeed, Lord Ryuto is a genius! Unlike me..."
She spoke the latter half of the sentence softly. While saying it, her expression changed from happy to somewhat sad.
Seeing this, although Ryuto didn't know the reason, he cleverly changed the subject.
"Do you want to play anything?"
After listening, Hiyori looked around with an interested gaze and pointed to a nearby machine.
"Lord Ryuto, what's that over there?"
Ryuto followed Hiyori's direction and saw a machine filled with many plush toys.
"Oh, that? That's a crane machine."
Just then, the shop owner in a uniform walked over and greeted them with a somewhat familiar tone. He was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man that one could encounter anywhere.
"Why did it take you so long to come?"
"Oh, because it's hot during summer vacation, and if you randomly go out, you might die of dehydration caused by direct sunlight. So, I hardly went out."
Why does this sound oddly similar to vampires?
"In that case, your skills are still as good as ever, no, to some extent, they are terrifying. I'm curious why you don't participate in gaming competitions. With your level, you can easily win no matter what game you encounter!"
"Well..."
Ryuto scratched his head, then smiled and continued speaking.
"Because I feel that games are not meant for competition, but for exploring to the fullest! As long as I enjoy playing, that's good enough!"
The shop owner smiled helplessly after hearing this.
"You're still as carefree in this aspect! Honestly, I envy you. You always live so freely!"
After talking for so long, the shop owner turned his head and looked at Hiyori, then grinned and raised his little finger at Ryuto.
"Is that child yours, by any chance?"
There was some deliberate meaning behind his words, although Ryuto knew it was futile, he still reiterated.
"How could that be?"
"Oh...well, I understand!"
The shop owner just had a mischievous smile on his face.
Why? You also understand? Why is everyone like this? Do they really understand? I'm sure you don't understand at all. But since I know that it's useless to say anything, Ryuto decided to ignore it completely.Upon hearing this, the boss suddenly said, "So you guys were talking about playing the claw machine earlier, huh?"
"Yeah, is there something wrong?" Ryuto asked.
"Well, not really. I just wanted to ask you to go easy on it. You're already on the verge of being blacklisted," the boss said, clasping his hands together in front of his chest with an action that seemed out of place for his age.
Ryuto could only awkwardly leave, as he could occasionally hear the cries of the ACG god and his girlfriend behind him.
Approaching the machine, Ryuto asked, "Which one do you want?"
"Huh?" Hiyori looked confused at the sudden question.
"I mean, which one do you want? I'll help you catch it."
"In that case, Ryuto-sama, I want this little bear!"
"What? Most girls would ask for a rabbit or something. I didn't expect you to like this. It's quite perplexing," Ryuto commented, taking a coin out of his pocket and skillfully operating the machine.
After a while, he succeeded in catching the prize.
"Here," Ryuto handed the bear to Hiyori. Whether it was because of the suddenness or something else, Hiyori was visibly slow to react, showing a genuine look of surprise.
"Ryuto-sama, you're amazing! You managed to catch something so difficult so easily!" Hiyori exclaimed with admiration.
"I don't really have any special talents, but I'm proud of this! Though it does sound a bit sad, doesn't it?" Ryuto chuckled and shook his head.
"Anyway, let's get back to business. Even though I'd love to keep playing, we should go to the nearby bank first. My account is a bit 'empty' at the moment."
"Okay!" Hiyori happily answered, clutching the bear tightly.
As they were about to set off, they heard a voice from behind saying, "Wait a minute." They turned around and saw the boss, holding two pieces of paper. Ryuto couldn't help but feel a sense of being tricked. The boss approached them and handed the papers to Hiyori.
"Here, these are free tickets to Qianyang Amusement Park, the prize you just won."
"Boss, you should know that I have no interest in amusement parks," Ryuto stared at the boss with resentment, while the boss bravely met Ryuto's gaze and turned to Hiyori.
"Miss, are you interested in this amusement park?"
"Amusement park...?" Hiyori muttered, tilting her head.
Noticing Hiyori's reaction, the boss's eyes immediately lit up, revealing an excited expression as if he had discovered something extraordinary. Of course, in reality, the boss's eyes didn't emit any light, but that's how Ryuto perceived it. Well, it shouldn't be an illusion. While Ryuto was contemplating this, the boss intensified his persuasion.
"Yes, Miss, this amusement park is the largest one in the city, and it's a perfect place for couples to go on dates."
Enough already! Why are you talking like a salesman? You're the boss of a game center!
"Couples...?" For some reason, Hiyori inexplicably reacted to the word "couples," expressing a slightly surprised voice and widening her eyes.
The boss noticed this and continued to brainwash her. "Yes, Miss. Many couples have become couples after visiting this amusement park. According to statistical data, the success rate is as high as 97%."
Hey, what's with that business-like smile you're showing? You're the boss of a game center! Ryuto emphasized again, as this point was important. Moreover, your claim about the success rate based on statistical data seems completely fake. Who would believe that it's so high? It's clearly made up.
Suddenly, a sentence caught Ryuto off guard. "Ryuto-sama, let's go there, to that amusement park."
Hiyori said this with a serious expression, revealing an inexplicable determination.Hey, hey, you have no idea what an amusement park is, do you? This kid is so easily fooled. Ryuto glared at the boss again with resentment in his eyes (Note: here is the boss of the game center, emphasized because he is important).
In response, the boss had a wicked smile of accomplishment on his face.
Now there's no way to deal with this bad boss, so Ryuto had to try to persuade Hiyori. He shifted his gaze back to Hiyori, who was eagerly staring at him, and was about to speak, but his body wouldn't obey. Ryuto was in a dilemma, looking at Hiyori's expectant eyes.
What should I do? I can't possibly say "no" in the face of such innocent eyes. If I say it, I'll be condemned by the heavens. I can't say it, what should I do? Ryuto's inner struggle was overwhelmingly painful. Then his body reacted on its own.
"Well, alright then."
When Ryuto snapped back to reality, the words had slipped out of his mouth. Now it's really too late to take them back. Faced with this situation, Ryuto had to resign himself.
He weakly took the amusement park ticket handed to him by the boss and left the game center.
"Have fun," came the gloating voice of the game center boss from behind.
