Dominating Evolution Of The Cosmos 153 Group Battle Preparations

Helena was shocked, as she had no idea when Steve's flying knife had attacked her neck! Usually, with her acute sensory ability, she could sense any danger from a hostile object, as long as it was within a certain range of her body!
At the same time, Helena's equipment also allowed her to sense the direction that the danger was coming from in advance. Although it wasn't always as specific as she'd like, it was still able to roughly determine the direction.
However, Steve's flying knife had escaped all of her sensory alerts! If Steve wanted to, he could have just killed her!
"I give up!" Helena sighed.
After she spoke the words, the entire place was abuzz in an instant! Shocked cries rang out continuously! No one had expected that Helena would lose, as she had no strength to retaliate.
"Oh my G.o.d! We've lost the one-to-three round!
"What happened with the flying knife just now? Why couldn't she sense it?"
"He did it! He's the only recruit in the history of the military base who was able to defeat three veterans by himself!"
"He is a genius! A real genius!"
Even the veterans couldn't help but marvel at Steve's strength. In the entire history of the military base, recruits that were able to defeat veterans had only appeared once about every 10 years!
Steve had indeed proven his strength. It was enough to awe all of the veterans.
As for the other recruits, they kept cheering. No one had expected that Steve would really be able to defeat three veterans by himself!
When Steve walked out of the ring, a group of recruits came forward and picked him up, then lifted him high in the air while shouting and cheering. Because Steve had defeated three of the veterans, the veterans for the next group battle would be reduced by 300, so it would be 5,000 against 500!
In terms of numbers, the recruits now had a huge advantage. So, maybe there was a chance that they could win!
Stuart, on the other hand, felt even more jealous when he saw how popular Steve was becoming. Since Steve had replaced him and become number one in the hearts of many recruits, his position was now a lot worse than before.
Now, Stuart was not even sure that he could defeat Steve. In fact, Steve might even be able to kill him!
"Why is he improving at such a fast pace? My talent is obviously stronger than his, so why was he able to surpa.s.s me?" Stuart was filled with jealousy and resentment.
"Oh, that jealousy, resentment, and desire for revenge..." The voice of the Erinnyes' evil spirit rang in Stuart's heart, tempting him constantly. "Continue to hate him, and I will give you more strength!"
"The five versus five compet.i.tion is over! The recruits won five games and the number of people from the veteran camp has been reduced by 500. A group battle will take place in an hour!" Connell announced calmly.
The veterans looked towards the recruits' camp, their eyes blazing with hostility. Some of them were sneering, some were furious, and some were filled with the intention to fight to the death!

Although they admired Steve's strength, it was considered a disgrace for the veterans to lose to the recruits. In particular, apart from Steve's fair defeat, Andrew's success was partly due to luck and partly due to strategy.
Stuart's victory, however, had especially angered the veterans. If it hadn't been for Jonathan's fear of killing Stuart accidentally, which caused him to stop at the last minute and give Stuart a chance to retaliate, Stuart would never have won the battle.
The veterans had held back their anger long enough. Now, they were ready to vent it fully!
The recruits had also felt the hostility coming from the veteran camp. If it had been before, they would've all felt hopeless in the face of such anger. After all, the gap in their strengths was much too far apart!
However, thanks to Steve's efforts, their number of people had become 5,000 versus 500, and this gave them hope. More importantly, Steve's three against one victory had boosted the recruits' confidence. Although the veterans were strong, the recruits still had some hope that they could win.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have an hour before the group battle. We need to prepare ourselves during the remaining amount of time." Steve summoned the others to get ready.
The current situation saw 5,000 recruits fighting against 500 veterans. They had the advantage in numbers, but their actual combat powers were far less than the veterans.
Therefore, they needed to plan carefully. Otherwise, they might still fail. Moreover, although teamwork was included in the recruits' training, their level of teamwork was far inferior to the veterans'.
"Stuart, you should quit the group battle," Steve looked at Stuart and said suddenly.
Stuart's face suddenly turned gloomy. He then asked, "What do you mean by that? Do you think that I'd drag the others down?"
At this time, the recruits could not help but look at Stuart with disgust. Although Stuart had won a round, he had brought disgrace upon them. Moreover, because of his despicable behavior, he had angered the veterans.
"It's for your own good, and for everyone else's," Steve said. "You can join us if you want to, but I can't guarantee that the veterans won't focus all of their anger towards you."
Stuart's eyes flashed with fear as he glanced towards the veteran camp, instantly feeling that many of them were looking at him with hostility. This was because his despicable behavior just now had truly angered them.
There was no doubt that, if he were to join the next battle, the veterans would target him. He might be able to deal with one or two of them, but if a dozen or more were to surround him, he would surely be beaten up!
"Hum! I shall quit the battle in consideration of the others, then. However, you are not qualified to order me around!" Stuart said reluctantly.
But, he'd still chosen to withdraw from the group battle. After all, no one wants to be beaten up!
After Stuart left, Sofia looked at Steve curiously and asked, "Why are you helping him?"
Steve shook his head and sighed. He then replied, "It's for everyone's good. The veterans would be even angrier with him in the battle. Plus, how could we be sure that he wouldn't take the opportunity to attack us?"
After all, it would be even more terrifying than the enemy if someone from their own team were to stab them in their backs! As such, Stuart could not be trusted. In fact, he might even intensify the conflict between the veterans and recruits!
At the same time, Steve was not sure if he would take this opportunity to attack them as a traitor. But, with Steve's knowledge of Stuart, he figured that he just might do so.
If that were to happen, the group battle would be even more chaotic, which would cause more casualties. Hence, he must ensure that it doesn't happen!
Sofia turned a bit pale, then said to Steve, "You're right. My thoughts lacked consideration."
Letting Stuart take part in the group battle would not be a good thing for anyone! With that in mind, Sofia looked at Steve with admiration in her eyes.
She used to choose to be with Steve because of his strength. But, as she learned more about him, she found the man in front of her was also filled with great charisma.
