Immortal Soul of Steel

Although Ozidna was stunned, she still nodded obediently to express her understanding.

Axel suddenly remembered something and asked Ozidna.

"By the way, among the information left by Raymond, is there any information related to Gu Tie's sudden evolution and those strange special effects gadgets behind it?"

Ozidna immediately shook her head: "I have recovered all the information left by Lord Raymond and confirmed it. There is no relevant content."

"Obviously, even Lord Raymond did not expect that kind of change in Gu Tie."

"Evolution, etc., should be a manifestation that occurs when organisms undergo a life class transition."

"But Gutie is just a purely mechanical artifact. Why would such a thing evolve? Gutie is not a living thing."

Axel smacked his lips: "If I knew, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

"Forget it, if we meet Lin Youde and Gu Tie again later, he will definitely use it again. Then we will read it again and we will know more."

Ozidna hesitated to speak: "Then..."

Axel waved his hand: "Keep it secret. Lin Youde will definitely show it off again anyway, so let him take the limelight again."

"In any case, this world is different from ours. He is a selfless 'hero'. "

"For him who is not a "demon" but a "hero", it is natural to give him some respect. "

As he said that, Axel's eyes ignited with fire again: "But... this doesn't mean that I will let the competition go."

"You don't need to use all your strength, that guy will definitely continue to hide his secrets. So, I have to do my best, after all, I have no room for mercy."

Ozidna was noncommittal about this.

After a while, Axel asked: "By the way, has the second round format come out? Is there any chance for us to play?"

Ozidna replied: "We will not know this until three days later."

Axel returned to his lazy useless state again: "Really, three days, so long..."

However, what seemed like a very long three days to Axel was just a fleeting moment to Lin Youde.

During these three days, Lin Youde tried his best to please his good wife in order to prevent Lei Mengmeng from turning evil due to the arrival of cherry blossoms.

Lei Mengmeng also seemed to know that Lin Youde was trying to appease her and was afraid that she would be angry. She also took the opportunity to be a little willful and let Lin Youde fulfill many of her wishes.

It was not until three days later that the second round format was announced that Lei Mengmeng gave up and spared Lin Youde.

Raymond saw this and was envious.

Although they are both the same person, the difference in grade prevents her from acting as willfully as Lei Mengmeng.

This made Raymond sigh, age is really not a good thing for women...

As Lei Meng sighed, she watched Lin Youde and others enter the conference room again.

In the conference room, Lin Youde looked at Zhou Benkai and asked.

"So, what's the format for the second round?"

"Is it still the same as the first round, the elimination mode of the battle?"

Zhou Benkai shook his head: "That's not true, according to the content given in "Machine War". The second round is an arena competition mode that does not limit fixed teams."

"Each country can send three teams to participate. As for which team to participate in, you can decide by yourself at the time. There is a lot of freedom."

Hearing this, Liu Longma suddenly became excited: "Playing in the ring? This is better. Rather than looking for people everywhere, it's more convenient to just go up and fight."

God Hayato complained: "I think you are just lazy."

Tomoe Musashi shrugged: "No way, Ryoma is really not good at finding people."

Du Jianlong ignored the daily complaints of the three members of the Geta team and asked.

"Why does the second round become an arena match? Also, how do we start the battle in an arena match? Three teams from three countries compete together?"

Zhou Benkai explained: "According to "Machine War", due to the feedback from the audience in the past three days, many people felt that the first round of the competition was too chaotic."

"Although the first round of events was exciting for the audience, there were too many teams, the battle broke out too far away, and the waiting time was too long, making it difficult to persist."

"So, based on the feedback from the audience, "Machine War" has eliminated the time to find the enemy and the possibility of encounters. It directly uses the faster arena competition as the second round format."

"The format of the second round is determined by drawing lots, which country's team will play first. The country that plays first will become the winner by default and will directly receive 1 point."

"Because the champion who takes the stage first will announce the lineup in the eyes of others, which is very disadvantageous and can easily be targeted."

"So as compensation, there is an additional mechanism to directly obtain 1 point."

"In addition, the winner of the arena competition will get +1 points."

"If the champion wins, multiply it by 0.5 based on the number of consecutive wins."

"On the other hand, if the challenger defeats the challenger and can end the challenger's winning streak, he or she will receive half of the total points earned before the challenger was defeated."

"In general, there is a certain amount of gambling involved in this arena competition."

"But just like the first round, the team that loses in the group stage will be eliminated directly."

"Currently, both the Free Federation and the Silla Alliance have three teams left, and we still have four. In terms of numbers, we are in an advantage."

Zenga interjected: "But it is obvious that we will be targeted."

Kawei Rao also said solemnly: "And our total score is the same as that of the Free Federation, both three points, while the Silla Alliance's is two points."

"Overall, the gap is not big. The only thing that can really widen the score line is probably this second round."

"And based on this elimination method, it is estimated that there will only be about 5 to 6 teams left in the third round."

"This third round will probably be the semi-finals, and the fourth round will be the finals."

Kang Dingbang concluded: "In other words, if we want to take the lead in the scoreboard, we have to fight in this second round."

"The third and fourth rounds should be ranking rounds that have nothing to do with the standings."

Lin Youde touched his chin: "In other words, do you want to preserve your strength and compete for rankings in the third and fourth rounds? Or do you just go straight to stud and try to get more points? Will the results be determined in this round?"

Zhou Benkai nodded slightly: "That's right, so what's your opinion?"

The corners of Lin Youde's mouth raised slightly: "My opinion? Of course I want all of my opinions!"

"Whether it's the ranking list or the points list, the big rewards must be ours."

"No one should object to this, right?"

To this, everyone naturally responded with laughter.

Zhou Benzai nodded slightly: "So, let's prepare. As before, we also have 2 days to prepare this time. In 2 days, the second round of the competition is about to begin!"

Then, 2 days passed by.

Two days later, everyone came to the competition venue again.

Only this time, in the viewing area for contestants from the three major countries, there were only those who had been eliminated.

The other contestants all gathered in their respective rest areas, waiting to come on stage at any time to participate in the competition.

True Super Robot Wars, the second round begins!
