Chapter 1: The City of Steel

The VIP room of the spacecraft is located in the front compartment of the spacecraft, and in terms of spatial structure, it is a circular platform with curved walls. The in-house entertainment facilities are fully equipped, including the bathroom, and the most competent flight attendants are available throughout the service.

Evan and Shamilles were seated in the third seat of the order, next to the window of the spaceship, and beyond the round, high-strength glass, the stars continued to pass by like streamers, which looked very novel.

The passengers in the lounge are all martial artists, about one-third are humans, and the other two-thirds are cosmic races of different forms. This is because Goodard is covered by the Federation's communication routes and is a transit point for interstellar communication lines, so many planetary fighters have to pass through Space City and then arrive at the Steel City of the home planet.

“......”

Ivan had just sat in the eggshell protective chair, and with a click, he fastened his seat belt, and suddenly felt his heart move slightly. As if something was slightly activated, an inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart, but he couldn't grasp the source.

The two men and a woman directly opposite each other were muttering something silently with their eyes closed, as if they were having some kind of religious ritual. They are human in appearance, but the style of their clothing is classical - white loose robes with bronze armor, short swords pinned to their waists, and a pair of sandals with thin straps and flat soles.

Out of politeness, after a brief observation, Ivan looked away and called up the program of the Virtual Dimension Project from the screen of his watch. But when he was about to watch the show with peace of mind, he suddenly felt several pairs of malicious eyes, not far from his seat, looking at him fiercely.

“......”

He looked up and followed his senses, and saw that those vicious eyes were not from humans, but from alien creatures that resembled people three parts and monsters seven parts monsters.

The source of malice, on a row of protective chairs diagonally opposite Ivan sat three aliens with a height of three meters, with horns, red skin, and green fangs. The costumes of these 'people' are very nomadic, with their hair tied together in bundles and braided into compact cylinders. He wears armor made of animal skins and metal, and adorns his neck and arms made of animal bones.

Sensing Ivan's gaze, the three 'orcs' bared their fangs at the same time, and their faces smirked, revealing a gesture of eagerness, as if they couldn't wait to fight him.

"Ignore them, these three guys are the Ghostfaces of Aiken. They live to fight, and their heads are broken by thousands of years of continuous war, and normal people can't communicate with this kind of monster at all. Shamilles seemed to notice something strange about Evan, and whispered into his ear, speaking in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"It turned out to be the fighting people of Aiken. Evan was immediately relieved, lowered his head and continued to watch the show, ignoring their provocations.

Speaking of Aiken, it is actually the home of the Apostle Conqueror Casillas - a typical warmonger, he has challenged all known apostles (except Antoun) in order to compete with the strong, and even takes the initiative to travel to various planets to find the strongest in different dimensions to fight.

It's also interesting to say, I don't know if it's the environment that shaped the conquerors or the conquerors that drove the atmosphere, everyone on the planet Aiken is extremely belligerent, and to be honest, they don't look good......

In the beginning, the Ghostface on Aiken was just fighting for the few oases on the desert planet, so that they could have a better living environment for themselves and their descendants. But in the fight, people may be red-eyed, or because of the deep hatred they have forged for each other, everyone forgets the original purpose of their participation in the war - the only thing they want is an endless war, and they want the war to burn forever.

What war is best at destroying all civilizations and miracles, and it is for this reason that the civilization that once existed on the planet Aiken rapidly declined, and everything was annihilated in the smoke of war.

In the face of this change in the mother family, the conquistadors do not seem to have changed their minds, and can even be said to encourage or condone the spread of this style. Perhaps in the eyes of this apostle, Aiken Star, which is full of blood and blood, is his ideal hometown.

As a powerful race that gave birth to conquerors, the Ghostfaces are undeniably gifted, they are born with strong physical abilities and can quickly activate their fighting talents as they develop. For ordinary martial artists, the fighting spirit, which is extremely difficult to cultivate, is as simple as eating and drinking water for them, and as long as they are adults, they can use this destructive power.

The remnants of civilization on Aiken today are a totemic cult, a primitive cult that is extremely bloody and contains the most savage and ignorant cannibalism. Because the Devil-Face Clan believes that all the essence and potential of a creature are sealed in the flesh, and they can obtain their essence and power by devouring the bodies of powerful enemies.

One by one, one by one

After deliberately ignoring the gaze from the war maniac, the Ghostface trio saw that he didn't react, thinking that he was a coward, and turned to provoke the other fighters. Since most of the martial artists are intellectually fine and know that they can't do anything in spaceships, no one responds to their provocations. After tossing and turning for a long time, the Ghostface trio didn't have the battle they wanted, so they fell asleep bored.

As the time progressed to the meal, the closed door of the VIP room slowly opened, and several flight attendants walked to the adjacent protective chairs, handed over the menu, and registered the food that the fighters needed in turn.

The elevator door behind him was slowly closing, and suddenly.

"Huh...!?"

Ivan snapped his eyes, and through the last crack in the closed door, he saw a tall man with yellow skin and black hair and totemic paint on his face walking up the red carpet and stepping into another VIP room directly opposite.

"This guy ....."

His heart sank, the breath of the other party was like a boundless abyss, terrifying like a giant beast, very fierce, and it gave him the feeling that it was like a high-yield nuclear bomb that could explode at any time. In an instant, the yellow-skinned and black-haired man also seemed to sense Ivan's gaze, and turned to look at him, but unfortunately it was a little late and he couldn't see Evan directly opposite, and was blocked by the closed closed door.

"It's exactly the same as before, it turns out to be the breath of this person...... There's something in him that I'm afraid of. Evan recalls the inexplicable throbbing in his heart when he first arrived in the VIP room - it felt like a tiger had invaded the realm of a lion, and it was completely a collision between competitors.

With the man's appearance in mind, he tilted his head, took a deep breath of air, and exhaled a scorching breath as he leaned closer to the back of his chair - it seemed that this mixed martial arts tournament would not let him get bored.

One by one, one by one

Kashni's home planet, the city of steel in outer space.

Outside of interstellar space near the atmosphere, against the faint blue background of the twinkling stars, the outer perimeter of the Steel City is full of black peaks jutting out of the ground. There are old mecha wreckage, damaged spaceships, and even more abandoned satellites.

Countless scrap metal links are put together into a 'land' suspended in outer space, and a large steel jungle is densely erected throughout the ground. Between the various metal jungles on the ground, there are crevice-like roads that stretch towards the center.

At the center of the space land, a city shrouded in energy partitions, is connected to the outside world through countless pipe-like corridors of space.

The Kanish people consider the City of Steel to be a "lookout on the home planet", and it is. It has a total of 99 observation towers on the upper, middle and lower floors, which can accommodate nearly 100 space shuttles hovering at the same time. Each of the three decks has a different network of roads leading to different space corridors. For hundreds of years, it has served as an outer space port for its home planet, burdening polluting industry and undertaking a variety of important tasks for the Federation.

At this time, the city of steel is opening its arms like never before, welcoming the space shuttles flying from all directions. Space shuttles hovered over the steel hills on the outskirts of the city, and hundreds of aircraft, like ants, were moving forward along the bends of the road, sending teams of fighters who had traveled thousands of miles into the central city.

After stepping off the shuttle together, Evan and Shamilles boarded one of the planes that was dedicated to transporting fighters, and drove along the road between the steel hills to the Steel City.

“......”

Ivan looked up at the starry sky and saw three moons floating above the Steel City, each showing blue, orange and white, occupying most of the entire sky. The moonlight is also intertwined, and through the stars and dots, it forms an eerie dark blue.

He originally thought that the Steel City would be on the home planet, but he didn't expect the Steel City to be built on the ruins of countless machines and suspended outside the atmosphere. But it's understandable to think about it, the Kashni Federation has ignited wars on the planets of various civilizations in the universe, done so many unfortunate things, and let so many outsiders enter the country, isn't it to find a terrorist attack by itself!

As the aircraft moved forward, a large area of metal wreckage outside, like weathered and twisted corpses, spread their teeth and claws, and their limbs extended in all directions, giving people the feeling of a cemetery. From a distance, the remaining unit numbers can be seen in the nearby parts illuminated by the lights, while in the distance, only a black one can be seen.

"The City of Steel was formerly an interstellar warship, and in the Battle of the Deep Sea thirty-five years ago, it was killed by the enemy's psychic weapons in order to defend the last line of defense of its home planet. To commemorate the life-and-death battle, the federal government gathered all the wreckage of weapons and built such a city in outer space. When Charmilles saw that he had been observing the city, he had the heart to introduce it.

"It turns out that such a period of history, no wonder this place gives me a strong sense of crisis. It seems that the purpose of the Federation in building it is to warn everyone not to be arrogant, because there have been enemies who have almost destroyed the home planet. Evan listened with a lot of chuckles.

One by one, one by one

After entering the Steel City, Ivan immediately dialed the number of Karenz and, under his guidance, checked into a hot spring hotel specially prepared for martial artists.

During their stay at the hotel, Karenz assumed a posture of teaching and introduced them to how the tournament works, the rules of the competition, and how to win.

The venue for the mixed martial arts tournament is arranged throughout the city, and it is accommodated by nearly 100 rings, large and small. After three days, all participating martial artists must continue to challenge their opponents to earn points, and accumulate 30 points before they can officially participate in the battle. The images of these battles will be broadcast by hundreds of TV stations at the same time, and fighters have the right to endorse certain products to make a profit.

It's worth noting that all martial artists don't have an energy bar to count their stamina before they officially join the war, so it's hard to get timely treatment if something unexpected happens.

The essence of the audition is to eliminate the weak and select the real elite fighters.

After that, it's the real three-on-one fight.

The arena is no longer a small ring, but a super arena that can simulate various terrain on land, sea and air, and all the elite fighters who fight here will have their physical strength digitized and displayed in energy bars. Once the energy bar is depleted, even if the fighter still has the ability to fight, it will be automatically considered defeated.

In addition, the Super Arena also has an instantaneous teleportation function, and fighters can summon teammates to help each other through the space armband they wear in advance when fighting.

To summon mutual aid, you must accumulate Battle Points, which are accumulated by damaging enemies or taking damage. The summoned mutual aid object can only appear for one second, and it is not allowed to charge in advance, otherwise it will be regarded as breaking the rules and will be immediately disqualified from the battle.

This kind of rule undoubtedly gives martial artists the opportunity to defeat the strong with the weak, and also brings more variables and visibility to the fight. However, it requires tacit cooperation between teammates, and between summoned and summoned fighters, as long as one person drops the chain, it will have an adverse impact on the battle situation.

The official tournament is based on a survival challenge system, and after one person wins, as long as the energy bar is not depleted, you can continue to fight. In the same way, even if the first two teammates all fail, as long as one person defeats the three fighters on the opposite side, he can still win. In the unlikely event that the last two fighters fall at the same time, the winner will not be decided by points, but will immediately go to a tie overtime. Usually at this time, whoever can get up is considered to be a winner.

“...... That's the rule, the team that wins all the time and beats all the opponents is the champion. At the same time, the martial artist with the highest win rate, the best performance, and the most popular will be crowned the king of fighters. Kalenz said with a yearning look on his face as he piloted the flying machine.

"Wait, the title of The King of Fighters is a little familiar!" Ivan felt that something was wrong.

"Don't worry about that kind of detail. Karenz reassured.

"In other words, the King of Fighters doesn't have to be selected from the championship team, right?" asked Shamille.

"That's right...... But if you don't be on the championship team, it's almost impossible to have the highest win percentage. Karenz explained.
