Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

Benimaru Nikaido sighed, "That's all we can do."

As the two were talking, the outcome of the match on the stage was already decided.

Although Ryo Sakazaki and Terry Bogard are evenly matched, in a battle between experts, any advantage or disadvantage can cause the balance between the two to be disrupted.

Terry had fought one more battle than Ryo Sakazaki and had used up a lot of his strength. In the end, he was defeated by Ryo Sakazaki's ultimate technique, Dragon Tiger Dance, as his strength gradually gave out. However, Ryo Sakazaki was not much better off than Terry and was panting heavily while holding his knee.

At this point, apart from the Japanese team which received a bye, the other three teams that qualified had already been determined.

They are the Women Fighters Team, the Superpower Warriors Team, and the Art of Fighting Team.

What follows is a battle between these four teams.

However, since the Japanese team and the Psychic Warriors team fought each other yesterday, and the Psychic Warriors team fought against the Female Fighters team, the division becomes simple.

Soon, the match schedule information appeared on the screen.

The women's team of fighters will face off against the Japanese team.

Superpowered Warriors Team vs. Art of Fighting Team.

Upon seeing the match schedule, Shen Ye, sitting in the audience, was taken aback.

"Does this mean Xiao Wu and the others are going to be in the top three?"

With one less player on the Japanese team, it's virtually impossible for Goro Daimon and Benimaru Nikaido to defeat a full-strength female fighter team. After all, Mai Shiranui, Sayuri, and the three female fighters have been in excellent condition since yesterday, without any injuries.

On the other hand, the three members of the Psycho Soldier Team are in better condition than the three members of the Art of Fighting Team. Although there is an older member in each team, Chin Gentsai's condition and strength are obviously stronger than Takuma Sakazaki's, and their chances of winning are extremely high.

But... their luck is just too good, isn't it?

The female fighters team and the superpowered warriors team already fought yesterday, so once they defeat their respective opponents, there's no need for them to fight again, since the rankings have already been determined.

The Superpower Warriors team, which defeated the Women Fighters team, naturally ranked second, while the other teams that went through two losses were directly eliminated, so the Women Fighters team, which only lost one match, ranked third.

"Could it be that my good luck affected them? Does good luck not only favor me?"

Suddenly, Shen Ye had this thought.

After all, he had a close relationship with the three women of the female fighter team, and he also had a good relationship with the superpowered warrior team, especially Athena. As for the other teams, he had only chatted with them and had basically no contact with them.

"Yes, that must be it. Otherwise, with Xiaowu and the others' strength, they definitely wouldn't have made it into the top three."

and so……

"Thank you, Goddess, you are so kind to me."

Shen Ye sincerely expressed his gratitude to Lady Luck in his heart.

……

To ensure the next match is equally exciting, the organizers have decided to take a one-hour break before resuming the game.

During the break, Goro Daimon and Benimaru Nikaido of the Japanese team started discussing again, debating whether to surrender directly or go on stage for a final push...

The Art of Fighting team took a break, but Ryo Sakazaki went to find Sayuri again...

Soon, an hour passed, and the match resumed.

The first match was between the women's team and the Japanese team.

However, just as Sayuri, the first female fighter, entered the ring, Goro Daimon from the Japanese team suddenly walked over to the staff next to the ring and said something to them.

Upon receiving the news, the commentator exclaimed in surprise, "The Japanese team has chosen to concede due to the absence of one member, and the women's fighter team has won outright."

These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.

The three women from the female fighter team were stunned for a long time. Xiaobaihe, who was standing on the ring, even looked around helplessly until a staff member reminded her, and she walked off the ring in a daze.

"Mai-neechan, what exactly is going on?" Sayuri asked Mai Shiranui, confused.

Mai Shiranui had just asked the other staff members, thought for a moment, and said, "It seems that Kyo Kusanagi from the Japanese team couldn't come because of something. The remaining two members of the Japanese team felt that they couldn't win in a two-on-three fight, so they just conceded defeat."

"So we won without even fighting?" Sayuri asked, as if confirming something.

"It's not just winning, it's becoming the third place!" Joan said excitedly. Although the prize money couldn't compare to the first place prize, the third place prize was still substantial, a full ten million Franklins. The three of them split it equally, instantly making them millionaires. Even after taxes, they would still receive more than two million. If converted to Japanese yen, they could be considered billionaires... though that would be a bit of an exaggeration.

The three of them were excitedly talking about how the battle between the Superpowered Warriors and Fatal Fury had begun.

The starting lineup for the Superpower Warriors team remains Athena, while the starting lineup for the Fatal Fury team is once again Robert.

An hour allowed Robert to recover most of his strength, and his injuries were mostly healed. However, compared to Athena at full strength, Robert, whose strength was diminished, was no match for her. He was knocked off the stage by Athena in just a few dozen moves.

Then Takuma Sakazaki entered the ring. He was in a slightly better situation than Robert, since Terry had shown him mercy in the previous match because of his age. However, he only lasted a few dozen more moves than Robert before Athena used her superpowers to throw him off the ring.

However, Athena, who had lost to two people in a row, ran into a snag with Ryo Sakazaki. Ryo Sakazaki is, after all, the strongest player in the Kyokugenryu style. If it weren't for bad luck, his team would have made it into the top three. In this round, Athena was defeated by him.

But it was clear to everyone present that Ryo Sakazaki could at most defeat Kensou Shi, but as for Chin Gentsai, he was simply incapable of getting past him.

As expected, after defeating Kensou, Ryo Sakazaki was defeated by Chin Gentsai, and the Fatal Fury team unfortunately finished in fourth place.

Since the Superpower Warriors team defeated the Women Fighters team yesterday, the two teams no longer need to compete. The Superpower Warriors team directly advances to the finals to compete with the God Band for first place.

The women's fighting team won third place.

……

(Hmm, I suddenly realized that I made Kyo Kusanagi and the others suffer a lot.)

Chapter 718! The match is over... Rugal's invitation

……

Originally, if the Japanese team hadn't conceded, there would have been a loser's bracket final in the afternoon, followed by the final match of the King of Fighters tournament the next day. But now that the Japanese team has conceded, the match has to be moved to this afternoon.

However, everyone present knew that the Superpower Warriors were no match for the God Band. The afternoon's match was just a formality. So, some God Band fans were already calling for the organizers to announce the match results in advance.

This angered the superpowered warriors... or rather, Athena's fans. Even if they couldn't win, the match had to continue so they could continue to enjoy their idol's performance.

Similarly, many spectators also got into arguments with the band's fans. They came to watch the game, and they didn't care who won or lost, as long as there was a game to watch.

As a result, the audience became chaotic, and some fans of the strong teams even started arguing fiercely with the fans of the band.

"Fans are a crazy group."

Watching the water bottles flying everywhere overhead, Helena protected Sharan while muttering to herself...

"The Superpowered Warriors team chooses to concede defeat."

"The organizers announce the official end of the competition. The champion is the God Band, the runner-up is the Superpower Warriors Team, and the third place is the Women Fighters Team."

While the audience was fiercely arguing, the superpowered warriors, after a brief discussion, decided to concede defeat.

After receiving their conceding defeat, the organizers simply announced the result of the competition.

Although this made the competition seem a bit anticlimactic, since the organizers had already announced the results, the audience had nothing to say. After all, the tickets were free, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

Moreover, everyone knows that it is the most dignified thing for the superpowered warriors to admit defeat. After all, the strength of the Shin Band is too strong. Not to mention Shen Ye, Kagura Manki alone is enough to take on an entire team by herself. Not to mention Kagura Chizuru, who has never appeared on stage. This has led many people to speculate whether Kagura Chizuru is the strongest one in the Shin Band.

However, in any case, the first King of Fighters tournament has finally come to an end. Although it was not organized perfectly, at least there were no major problems.

Afterwards, the audience left the stadium, and Shen Ye and his group met up with Mai Shiranui and the others at one of the stadium's exits. Most of the other fighting teams left after exchanging greetings, but apart from Shen Ye and his group, one team stayed behind.

Ikari Warriors!

After all, they participated in this competition purely for Rugal, but now they haven't even seen a glimpse of Rugal, and they are unwilling to leave like this.

So they followed Shen Ye and the others to this exit, because the organizers had previously said that the champion team would be invited to board a private aircraft carrier docked at a nearby port.

However, the organizers made it clear that only the champion team could board the private aircraft carrier, so the three members of the Nu team could only stand far away on the side, discussing how to follow Shen Ye and the others and sneak into the aircraft carrier.

Meanwhile, Shen Ye and the others were discussing whether to attend the banquet prepared by the organizers or go out on their own to have some drinks and celebrate.

But before they could reach a conclusion, two women walked over.

Mature and Weiss.

Upon seeing them appear, Sharm immediately waved to greet them, while Kagura Maki immediately took a defensive stance.

She sensed the serpent's aura from Mature and Vice.

Aside from Shen Ye and Shermie, the others didn't understand why Kagura Maki was suddenly like this, and they all looked at her with curious eyes. Kagura Chizuru, after being stunned for a moment, immediately understood and also looked at Mature and Vice who were walking over with vigilance.

"Don't be nervous, they're just like Sharmi."

Shen Ye spoke softly to the Kagura sisters, then turned to look at Mature and Vice.

“Rugal wants to see you,” Mature said, arms crossed, her gaze sweeping over the Kagura sisters.

Who is Lugal?

It was Mai Shiranui who asked that question.

"The organizer of this competition," Mature casually said to Mai Shiranui.

"Oh! It's him!" Mai Shiranui exclaimed in realization, "I almost forgot, the champion team has to go to the organizer's private aircraft carrier to receive the prize... Hey, I remember the champion's prize money is 100 million! Shiranui, you're going to be rich!"

At this moment, Kagura Chizuru said disdainfully, "It's only one hundred million, not much. If Shen Jun wants it, I can easily give him one billion."

"I know you're rich and look down on this little bit of money. Humph, what's there to be so smug about?" Mai Shiranui curled her lip. She and Chizuru Kagura didn't get along anyway, so she immediately turned her head to the side, not wanting to look at her.

At this moment, Shen Ye looked at Mai Zhuo with some surprise: "Rugal is so bold?"

This statement puzzled many people around him, who did not understand its meaning.
