Chapter 594 Clash of Titans’ Even

Chapter 594 Clash of Titans’ Even

Another game was played in the Grand Feast, and this time the Large Beast Monsters weren't just allowed to play but even encouraged, because the event was casually called the 'Clash of Titans'. Mr Derpy and the Titan Knight would fight against All of the Beast Demons combined. (Mainly because Spiky, the Transforming Spider was comparably larger than Mr Derpy when it came to the overall size.)

The game was fashioned as a modified version of the Shaolin Football Instance, with their current location as the battleground. The System could not be bothered to expand the size of the Stadium instance further, using up even more of its precious resources.

It had stretched the instance as much as was needed allowing Jin to accomplish what he had in mind. After the feast was done, the System would only have to reset the Town Hall instance, and everything would become a piece of empty land once again.

Since Jin was not around, Qiu Yue and Lynn took the initiative to act as the judges for this Clash of Titans' event. Everyone was randomly chosen by the System to represent the Red and Blue team. Team Red would be siding Mr Derpy and the Titan Knight while Team Blue sided with the Beast Demons.

Some like Weslie was lucky enough to get assigned into their preferred teams with the Beast Demons, but others, for example, the Deep Ones would have to compete against their Supreme Lord.

At times like this, Qiu Yue wondered whether they would 'betray' him further in the name of more System Points since she roughly knew that it was somewhat wrong to raise their weapons against their own god.

When the game started, everyone went into a frenzy mode. One army clashed towards another just to fight for the sparkling rainbow orb that served as the ball to score. The Bellators, unfortunately, were not allowed to join in the game mainly due to their insane powers, but it was a nice change of pace to see the monsters fighting against each other to their fullest.

Peppers even offered to play the bank and turn it into a small betting event on who might win the first round. But nobody bothered because they knew how good she was in deducing the winning team based on her magic. (If Ayse were around, she would take her bets and argue that her collected data beats magic all day long.) Besides, they did not wish to be spoilt through her prediction and simply rooted for their own favourite team.

However unlike the classic game format where the Titans where mostly there for appearance sake, Jin wanted his Titans to battle it out too. So, whenever a goal was scored, it became a free for all for the Titans to pit their strength against each other for a set amount of time.

The team that scored the goal would receive the opportunity to apply a temporary size debuff against their opposing rival. (The System was happy to use this as an opportunity to get a better grasp on the concept of Hamatarou's Totem of Atem.)

Hence, the opposing team had to fight harder and smarter instead of just relying on its huge size. In the meantime, the rest of the monsters continued to pitch their lives for additional System points.

The monsters involved on the frontlines were rather apparent as the judges could see the majority of Orcs handling it with a mix of werejackals and dark templars in it. (In fact, the Orcs were so fierce that some of the Dark Templars assumed them to be demons incarnate.)

Surprisingly, the zombies put up quite a decent fight too with Half Ghoul Lord Derek using his powers to personally enhance the horde on both teams equally. Though some of the monsters casually shouted foul play at that, they also understood that he wanted his zombies to be more than just cannon fodder.

Meanwhile, the Mousefolks turned out to be a handy bunch of range support as their use of guns increased the fighting capability of their respective teams.

It was to the point where they were aiming against each other since the Mousefolks knew best how much of a threat they could pose. Zeru and Meomi had informed them that they had gained grace from the powers of System which allowed them to resurrect, making them rather fearless without holding back.

The Wyrm Ants dug a tunnel to surprise the opposing team, and it worked especially well for one round before Team Blue monsters realised and later sent their Mousefolks to defend the underground.

As Wyrstriker was the only few that was able to fly, Que Er made sure to target him first with her murder of magpies. While one magpie was useless, having that entire flock of birds was a danger to Wyrstriker.

This was the first time he had difficulty fighting and had to use multiple AOE attacks to fend for himself. Thus, Sandy assisted by creating a barrier for him on intervals since she needed to take care of the ground allies too. Still, Que Er managed to hold air superiority in the latter part of the event.

The whole Town Hall instance became a slaughter with whatever items they could find. Forks, chopsticks, plates, chairs and tables being thrown around or used as temporary barriers to delay the possibility of a goal from the opposing team. (Some even used the leftover bones of the piggycupine as a weapon. Those Orcs sure know how not to waste stuff.)

Still, not a single monster dared to mess around and risk destroying the food tables which the Penguins were guarding with their lives. As for stray bullets, the Penguin ninjas were capable of immediately deflecting or slicing them up.

Eventually, the monsters unanimously seemed to have demarcated a line not to be crossed so as to prevent any possible damage to the food tables.

Lynn was positively surprised and taken aback by this particular development and some of the monsters even declare that they would even kill their own teammates or themselves as punishment if anyone wasted the penguins' hard work. The Boar Knights ironically pledged themselves to be the guardians of the food tables. (They loved the piggycupine meat way too much. Could that be considered some level of cannibalism?)

As thanks, Lynn personally awarded them a small payout of System points to ensure that those who had sacrificed themselves were not in vain. Obviously, it came from her own System Wallet. The Sub System Users also had access to System points to periodically reward their underlings for a job well done. Those points were given to them by Jin who converted them using his own profit.

So, the food tables were instinctively being drawn up like a barrier which everyone adhered to and fought to the fullest. After around half an hour of game time and both teams still tied, the System declared it to be a Sudden Death format with the monsters being allowed to help defeat the opposing Titans.

Eventually, the ones winning turned out to be Team Red. They received 200 System Points each (no matter if they were resurrected or not) while the losing team earnt 50 System points each for participating in the game.

When that particular Shaolin Football event came to a close, the last event that Lynn and Qiu Yue had prepared was an informal drinking contest. But before that, the monsters all helped cleaning up the trash and debris to be fed into the Lost Tech Recycler later.

After which, they laid the open fields with mats as instructed by the emcees while Shu purposely went to the centre of the area to make some flowers bloom.

Sakura petals floated around the Town Hall instance, while the System erected lamplights, making it a cosy and memorable place for every monster to gather around as the Penguins brought everyone bottles of plum wine to drink.

Gold and the werejackals had already experimented with sake, but they achieved a real breakthrough after Chieftain Skitter had inadvertently found a Giant Plum Tree and gifted its location to Lynn. The Sub System User had not hesitated to reap the fruits from that tree.

"This is the last event! Drink to your heart's desire! Drink, eat and clear all the food that is on the table! Have a good chat with the monsters and interact with everyone!" Qiu Yue said with a bottle on her hand and pour one cup on stage to drink with everyone. "Everyone will earn some System points as gratitude from the System! You heard that right! Let's all toast to the stingy System!"

Lynn shook her head but joined in as well, as she commenced the start of the last event. To date, this had been undoubtedly the most laborious feast preparations she had ever come across.

Nevertheless, she was already looking forward to next year's feast.
