The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

The Tyrant was quickly killed, and along with the Tyrant's death came the system notification that the TOM team had been wiped out.

If a team is wiped out in the late game, that's relatively normal. But being wiped out so quickly in the early game is a huge blow to a professional team, especially a team like TOM that hasn't had much competitive experience. If they suffer multiple setbacks, their lack of experience and mental fortitude can easily lead to a mental breakdown. They might even give up before the enemy team even destroys their base, becoming the losers.

At this moment, the members of Team TOM looked utterly dejected. They'd been beaten so badly; there was no way to win anymore...

"Brother Ma, we..." Sun Wukong said hesitantly, "It seems we're doomed to lose this round..."

“But what reason do we have to give up?” Sima Yu’s voice rang out. “We haven’t lost yet, so we shouldn’t give up.”

"Alright." Sun Wukong nodded helplessly. Knowing he would lose, he still had to fight. Perhaps this way, he would have a sliver of a chance of winning? Sun Wukong thought to himself.

On the other hand, Han Cheng's thoughts were different from Sun Wukong's. Knowing that he would lose, he continued to fight. This was not out of stubbornness or pedantry, but rather a kind of spirit and sentiment. Of course, it didn't matter if he lost, as long as he had a clear conscience.

The match continued, and Han Cheng silently watched, diligently analyzing the tactics and playing style of the Jinglan team. Although the Jinglan team was powerful, each of their tactical moves seemed somewhat risky. Outsiders might think this was due to their strength and overconfidence, but in reality, those so-called risky tactics were merely gambles on the surface; they were actually very safe, tactics that were already almost certain of success.

This is what makes the Jinglan team so terrifying to Han Cheng: they are reckless yet survive, which is very impressive. However, their recklessness is not truly reckless; they create a false impression on their opponents before delivering a fatal blow. It seems that apart from the Jinglan team, Han Cheng has not yet seen any other team that can do this. Therefore, the TOM team is currently no match for the Jinglan team.

As a professional team, Jinglan doesn't humiliate their opponents by spawn camping after gaining an advantage, unlike some other teams. They also don't hesitate to play cautiously and give up the best offensive opportunities. Jinglan will take down their opponents whenever they have the chance and will never drag things out.

With the resounding collapse of the mid-lane second tower, the TOM team knew that their fate was sealed. The Jinglan team was the victor of this game, the winner of this match, and very likely the final winner of this KPL Winter League.

A few minutes later, TOM's mid-lane inhibitor tower also collapsed, and the Jinglan team pressed in with their massive force. At this point, TOM was powerless to turn the tide.

"I had the will to kill the traitors, but I was powerless to save the day. I die a worthy death, how wonderful!" Sun Wukong murmured.

"Monkey, do you think you're Tan Sitong? Look at your monkey, how many heads have you given away?" Song Ziyi said indignantly.

"How could I have given away a kill? It was just that the other side was too strong and had too good equipment, and I accidentally got killed..." Sun Wukong retorted.

"Pah, all talk and no action..." Song Ziyi muttered.

"Stop, stop, stop..." Sima Yi said helplessly, "Gentlemen, what time is it? The enemy has already pushed to our crystal, so please stop arguing..."

"Alright, alright..." Song Ziyi said, her tone not very impatient. Sun Hou nodded helplessly. To be honest, he hadn't messed up this game; the blame lay with the opposing team for beating his team so badly...

The opposing five players had already pushed up to the crystal with the Lord and Vanguard. It was the final battle. If they lost, they would be wiped out in one wave. However, TOM's chances of winning were not high.

"You monster, where do you think you're going!" The monkey leaped up and charged forward fearlessly, aiming straight for the enemy's carry.

"When an emperor is enraged, blood flows for miles!" Ying Zheng activated his ultimate skill for ranged attacks, intending to whittle down the enemy's front line.

"Thunderous Might!" Zhao Yun unleashed a powerful attack, leaping into the enemy ranks.

In the middle, after knocking up one of the enemy heroes, he started to output damage, but since his equipment was much worse, the damage was not very high, and he couldn't even kill one person.

"3, 2, 1... Boom!" Sun Shangxiang unleashed her ultimate from a distance, then used her first skill to roll and enhance her basic attack output. Sun Shangxiang's late-game output is quite explosive, and she usually carries Purify and has a dash. If the opponent cannot kill her in one combo, she is very likely to turn the tables. However, that requires good equipment. Obviously, the conditions in this game are not met. As an output position and the core output position, Sun Shangxiang's equipment is quite pitiful.

Finally, Donghuang Taiyi activated his ultimate skill, controlling one of the opponents and finally killing him. However, as the system notification sounded that the opponent had been killed, time suddenly froze, and the screen view abruptly shifted upwards to TOM's crystal. It turned out that TOM's crystal had been destroyed by super soldiers and Huang Zhong. TOM had lost to the Jinglan team once again, this time a complete and utter defeat.

"Bang! Defeat!"

The word "Failure" was displayed in large, glaring letters before the TOM members. Yes, they had lost.

"Sigh, as expected, the gap between us and the Jinglan team is too big." Sun Hou sighed.

"There is a gap, but we will close it sooner or later and then surpass them!" Sima Yu said, clenching her fist with unwavering determination.

"Yes, yes, yes, we'll overtake them sooner or later!" Song Ziyi shook hands with Sima Yu with a determined look on her face.

Sima Yi placed his hands on the two of them, "There are still matches this afternoon. Although we lost to the Jinglan team, it doesn't mean we're eliminated. We'll continue this afternoon."

“Yes, yes, yes! Brother Ma is right…” Sun Wukong said, trying to imitate Sima Yi by placing his hands on the two girls’ hands, but Song Ziyi glared at him and stopped him. “What, what are you trying to do? Have ulterior motives…”

"No way, Brother Monkey, am I that kind of person?" Sun Wukong seemed a little embarrassed, but he still brought out his shameless and fearless spirit to the extreme. The atmosphere, which should have been heavy, was greatly relieved after the two of them teased him.
