What's wrong with being a little arrogant in the apocalypse just to support my wife?

The audience member who had been saying Jackson was a coward and afraid of losing before the match collapsed to the ground, exclaiming, "Eighth, eighth rank! How is that possible?! He's actually eighth rank?!"

An uproar erupted in the arena. The coach leading the team, who was in the dragon clan's position, turned pale and sat down with a wry smile.

The two official team members beside him, who hadn't even made their debut yet, didn't expect their draw to be this bad as always!

No, this time their luck is even worse than the last time!! At least before they knew they were facing the Zerg and made adequate preparations, but this time a dark horse has emerged out of nowhere!

They didn't initially plan to field three regular players; in fact, it was only after Jackson fought hard for it. His initial idea was to field all the main players and make thorough preparations.

But they all felt that Jackson was making a mountain out of a molehill. If they really fielded all their key players, wouldn't they just make a fool of themselves? People who didn't know better would think they were terrified of losing!

As they had anticipated, although only three official members were included, there was a lot of sighing at the beginning.

However... it's too late to regret it now.

Their remaining two official team members are one at the eighth rank and the other is almost at the eighth rank. Both are very strong and have special abilities. Either one of them could easily put Jackson in such a passive situation.

The female ability user, who was close to the eighth level, lamented, "If only I had listened to the captain! We should have all gone; maybe we would have had a chance of winning!"

The team leader sighed softly. His ability level was higher than theirs, and he had initially thought Morse was at the seventh level and had been deceived by his methods. This meant that Morse was at the eighth level, or even higher than him.

And Chen Mingzhang's ability happens to counter the abilities of these special ability users, meaning that even if they send out all their strongest ability users, they might not be able to win.

The fact that no official players were fielded can be excused as insufficient preparation or bad luck, which is a way to save face.

The situation on the scene was reversed. They watched as Jackson gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, while the audience in the arena was thrilled by these dazzling superpowers.

They didn't bully anyone. Only Morse faced off against Jackson, while Chen Mingzhang and Zheng Mu controlled the unconscious players and threw them off the field.

Morse excels at aggressive attacks, giving Jackson no chance to react, while Jackson's lightning-type attacks are equally powerful.

The clash of fire and lightning, the attacks so fast they left afterimages—the audience below no longer cared which side they had initially supported!

"Damn it! Morse's fire-type freakish ability is fucking awesome! He directly detonated Jackson's lightning with high temperature, damn! That was so satisfying to watch!"

"Damn it! I don't even know who to support anymore. Jackson is ridiculously strong! That ring of thunder just now, I thought I was going to be blown away. The barrier protecting us was shaking and almost shattered. It was so damn exciting!"

"This year's Superpower Competition has so many strong competitors, I'm completely dumbfounded. Is this really just the second round, and not the finals? The semifinals in previous years weren't this fierce, were they?"

"Count for yourself, how many Tier 8 players are there now? It seems geniuses are produced in batches. Last year, there was Hilde from the Zerg, a Tier 8 player, who completely crushed everyone. How can we have such an exciting fighting style now? We can even see two Tier 8 players fighting each other?"

"To be fair, this M34 star is quite virtuous. If the other eighth-tier and seventh-tier members had joined in at this time, Jackson would have had no chance of winning. I didn't expect them to just stand by and watch."

"If you're going to win, you have to win fair and square. No matter who wins or loses this round, I'll accept it!"

The audience was fired up, the arena was ablaze with excitement, and Morse and Jackson went all out, using their powers without restraint, almost completely destroying the arena.

Morse and Jackson's abilities were not too different, and the outcome was decided in an instant. The lightning storm pierced through Morse's stomach, and the lava destroyed half of Jackson's body.

Morse, whose body was pierced by lightning, stood still, his body gradually turning into magma, slowly consuming the violent lightning elements, while Jackson was pinned to the ground by the magma, struggling repeatedly before exhausting himself.

Morse was in such a sorry state that his upper body clothes were completely torn, revealing skin charred black from the lightning strike. The ten-second countdown was nearing its end: three, two, one…

As the countdown ended, the referee announced M34's victory! Morse smiled and raised his right arm.

The arena erupted in cheers and shouts, interspersed with a few angry curses and sobs.

Jackson lay on the ground panting. Morse withdrew his powers and reached out to Jackson. Jackson smiled, took his hand, and was pulled up by Morse. He didn't dislike opponents who won fair and square.

Both of them had suffered serious injuries. Morse quite admired his opponent and remembered what Lu Yize had told him.

He said casually, "Your injury is quite serious. We have a healing ability user here who can help you heal your wounds."

Their current situation was still being broadcast on the shared screen. Hearing their conversation, the venue instantly erupted in noise. Healing ability users? Healing ability users are extremely rare.

Healing ability users are usually controlled by powerful families, but I never expected that there would be a healing ability user on their small planet!

But someone quickly realized what was going on and shook their head dismissively, "What a load of nonsense. So what if they have healing abilities? Their abilities are probably not very high."

"They are all eighth-level ability users. Unless there is a sixth-level or higher healing ability user, their injuries cannot be completely healed."

Jackson didn't doubt Morse's words much. He and his teammates were indeed seriously injured. He nodded and followed Morse to the observation deck at the top where Lu Yize and the others were.

The moment they were about to step into the private room, the immense pressure from their supernatural abilities made it almost impossible for them to breathe, but this pressure suddenly disappeared after Morse opened the door and led them inside.

The moment Jackson saw the people in the private room, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. What kind of monsters had this legendary garbage planet raised...?

The people in front of them all possessed extremely strong superpowers, especially the one in the leader's position. The immense mental pressure they felt before entering the room came from him.

Moreover, Jackson clearly sensed that although they were in this private room, the flow of supernatural energy around them was extremely unnatural, meaning that they might have stepped into another space.

The room was suspended in a pitch-black, otherworldly space. He was certain that if they forced the door open, they would only see complete darkness.
