Chapter 772  The Situation is Now Under Review

Amidst the viewers' shock, disbelief, and rising anger, the feed shifted from the glowing cannon on the great sword—now slowly dimming—to a full view of the mecha. The great swords in its hands, separated at the center, began closing, concealing the cannons within. The left-hand sword was put on the mecha's back being held magnetically, while the one on the right remained firmly in its grip.

It then began a slow descent, carefully maneuvering to land near Aron. As it approached the ground, just a few meters away, it deactivated its hovering ability. BAM! The mecha landed heavily, kneeling down while driving the sword still clutched in its right hand into the ground. Its head bowed, creating the striking image of a knight kneeling before an emperor.

The feed shifted once more, this time capturing the rear of Mecha 765 with Aron visible over its shoulder. His gaze, fixed on the mecha's movements, hinted at amusement, as though entertained by its display. The scene, framed from a cinematic angle, captivated viewers on both sides, adding a mesmerizing, almost surreal quality to the unfolding moment.

{The Yrral Coalition has filed a formal contest, claiming that the referee ended the match without adequate justification, possibly due to a bug in my programming. The situation is now under review.}

This announcement refocused everyone's attention on the core issue, sparking curiosity about the sudden decision to end the match. Viewers speculated on whether a genuine error had occurred and, if so, how the Yrral Coalition might be compensated for the lost chance to secure victory.

As they waited for the explanation, the screen feed shifted to a scene all viewers knew well: the recorded negotiation between the Emperor and Liasas, the representative of the Astral Conclave forces. The video began with Liasas speaking, listing the names of the Conclave’s participants.

“For the Xor’Vaks, it will be Princess Seraphina. For the Valthorins, Vaxerion. The representative of Zelvora will be Xylor. The Trinaria…” She continued, naming each civilization and their designated contender until she reached the Yrral Coalition. “The Yrral Coalition has opted to field Mecha 765, with its weapons limited to those meeting the established rules...”

Those quick-witted enough immediately pieced together what could have prompted her to end the match, but most viewers remained curious, unsure of the relevance. The referee AI didn’t leave them guessing for long, stating, {The Yrral Coalition’s fighter is Mecha 765, meaning if it becomes incapacitated and unable to continue, it is considered defeated, even if the pilot remains alive, as she is not deemed the actual contender. The fight could have continued if the pilot had been killed but the mecha remained operational. The decision to end the match is based on the fact that the current condition of the mecha renders it incapable of continuing, as shown moments ago—it is fully under the control of the Terran Empire’s fighter, Aron Michael. Regarding how he achieved this, I am restricted from disclosing details at this time, though I suspect many of you have your own theories.} n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

As she explained her reasoning behind ending the match, the referee AI displayed the specific rules supporting her decision, ensuring that anyone genuinely curious, rather than blindly skeptical, could follow her fair and rule-based justification.

Regarding why she couldn’t reveal how Aron took control of the mecha, the audience already understood the reason. With the extensive array of sensors in the Colosseum, every action taken within its bounds—whether visible or concealed within the body—fell under her monitoring. This level of surveillance meant she could potentially expose the secrets of each fighter’s abilities. To prevent this, a rule had been established prohibiting her from disclosing any skill or ability outright. Instead, she would either scramble certain details or omit specifics that could reveal the exact methods behind an action, ensuring each fighter’s unique techniques remained confidential.

She concluded her statement with, {As per my reasoning, no evidence of a mistake in my code or my oversight has been found; all decisions were made according to the established rules. Therefore, the initial decision stands.}

This declaration extinguished the hopes of the Yrral Coalition's citizens, who had clung to the possibility of disputing the ruling. From their perspective, the fight had ended on a technicality, forcing them to concede valuable knowledge to the winning side. Furthermore, this marked the Empire's seventh victory, meaning they needed only one more win to achieve a majority. This outcome would tilt the unified agreement decisively in favor of the Empire, to the detriment of the Conclave forces.

Ignoring the feelings of the spectators, the referee AI materialized in front of Aron and asked, {Would you like to use your break period, or shall we proceed to the next fight?}

“I would like to use my break period,” Aron replied as he began walking toward the mecha, which remained on its knees, resembling a knight awaiting the emperor’s command to rise.

{As you wish,} the AI responded, then made an announcement: {We will be taking a twenty-minute break before the next fight,} before gradually starting to fade away.

Before the referee AI could complete her disappearance, Aron interjected, “I have a question.”

{Ask,}she replied, halting her process and reversing it to focus on him, piquing the curiosity of viewers eager to hear what he would say.

With her attention on him, Aron pointed to the mecha and asked, “Since it and whatever is inside it are now my property and are considered approved weapons, can I use them in my upcoming fights?”

Those who understood the implications behind his question couldn’t help but take a deep breath. They realized that if approved, Aron would become an even more troublesome opponent than they had anticipated, possibly securing another unexpected victory that could swing the overall fight in the Empire’s favor, even if they were likely to lose the remaining matches.

As a result, their attention shifted to the referee AI, who appeared to be combing through the rules to find anything that explicitly allowed or prohibited such an action. The viewers were now keenly curious about what decision she would reach, as it would determine whether Aron would gain an additional advantage or helper in the upcoming battles.
