2nd COL Championship Finals, First Set.

The Academy Team, believed to be at the pinnacle of strength in the Human World and now reaching the Celestial Realm with COL skills, still exhibited explosive firepower.

“AAAAAH! I’m taking out the Demon Team’s ADC!”

The game had been closely contested up until the midpoint.

However, they managed to capture the Demon Team’s ADC with astounding vision control.

From that point on, the game tilted towards the Demon Team’s defeat.

The audience erupted in cheers, while the Demon players exited the game with frustrated expressions.

“UAAAH! How could you get caught there, Mesha!”

“What do you mean? We’re mid, and we don’t have vision!”

“It’s such a pity… We won the top lane…”

It was a disappointing game, especially for Lumia, who had completely dominated the top lane.

Yet, it wasn’t anyone’s fault.

It was just that this Dennyan, his presence was overwhelmingly powerful.

-Dennyan! Dennyan! Dennyan!

The audience chanted his real name in a trance.

Meanwhile, he remained composed, casually stretching.

“It’s no one’s fault. We shouldn’t be fighting amongst ourselves…”

“Phew… I’m sorry, Demon King Sama. I thought I didn’t feed as much. I’ll definitely win the next match!”

“Uh, yeah. Don’t push yourself too much…”

Yet, the morale of the Demon Team burned even brighter.

They were determined to bring despair to the faces of those humans.

Omos, who allowed Dennyan to grow in the first set, steeled himself.

“Are you trying to get yourself killed? Let’s focus on bottom in the next set!”

“Shut up, Tasha! I’ll definitely get a solo kill early, so just don’t die in bottom!”

“You died doing that last game…”

Anyway, the Demon Team decided to go with a similar strategy once again.

Omos boasted they would definitely win.

He’s a powerful mid-laner too, among the select few.

And just as he said, the real surprise happened in the next set.

“AAAAAH! The Demon Team’s [Demon Realm’s 2nd in Command Omos] gets a solo kill!”

Omos, indeed, scored a solo kill at the very start of the game.

The humans were left in despair, while the Demon Team was in a festive mood.

(Team) Demon King Sama (Artlux): Omos, what’s happening?! I believed in you!

(Team) Tasha (Leona): Is this real?!??

(Team) Master Dereta (Leeshim): WOOOOOOOOOO!!!

(Team) Demon Realm’s 2nd in Command Omos (Rublong): MUHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!

The tension in the Demon Team surged instantly.

With that momentum, Lumia also began to dominate the already advantageous top lane.

Of course, the opponent was the strongest in the Human World, the Academy Team.

They struggled but still managed to hold on and prolong the game.

However, Dennyan’s activity was restricted due to the early mid solo kill, leading to a significant reduction in his influence.

“Second set! Ends with a victory for the Demon Team!”

“YAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

“HUHAHAHAHAHA!”

“KYAAAAAAA!”

“We did it!!”

In the end, the Demon Team emerged victorious.

Unlike the somber humans, the Demons laughed heartily as they each took their stances.

After all, it had become a 1-to-1 situation.

The winner of the final set would determine the champion of the tournament.

“Then let’s take a short break before proceeding to the much-anticipated final set.”

During this historic break before the final match, the audience was more excited than ever.

“Are we really going to lose?! Dennyan got a solo kill?!”

“Even the gods sometimes make mistakes! Can’t you tell by looking at your face?”

“? Why are you mentioning my face all of a sudden…”

There was a risk that humanity could face defeat at the hands of the Demons.

Additionally, Dennyan had already allowed a solo kill in the second set.

“Indeed, the Demon Team’s skills aren’t to be underestimated.”

“Especially the Demon King’s skills are outrageous. I wonder if there’s a top laner among humans better than the Demon King.”

“The bottom and jungle are stable too. Comparatively, the Academy Team seems overall lacking except for Great Dennyan.”

“No matter how excellent the students are, they may not reach the level of geniuses like Great Dennyan. If they’d built a team with the best members on each lane, the Demons would’ve been defeated!”

“Cough… Great Dennyan…! O Divine One!”

This was undoubtedly a war between humans and Demons.

The Academy Team lacked some players to fully represent humanity.

Concerns about the Academy Team poured in, given the overwhelming capabilities of the Demon Team.

“Hmm… It’s definitely a play style typical of Demons.”

“It’s flowing quite interestingly.”

Even Galleard, who had been eliminated early, watched the game with keen interest.

During the break, he conversed with Rai, who had briefly stepped down from the commentary booth.

Galleard always asked Rai to do the commentary, but this time was different.

He was astonished by the high-level game between the Demons and the Academy.

“Do you think the Academy Team can win?”

“Well, it’s probably a matter of concentration.”

Rai too watched the game interestingly while commentating.

Honestly, he was surprised by the second set.

No matter how talented the Demons were, they had considerably less gaming experience than humans.

I had thought even the so-called divine beings wouldn’t manage, yet they overturned expectations and secured a solo kill, suggesting there was something beyond talent in those Demons.

“In my view, if things continue like this, the Demon Team might have the edge. I can see the concentration of the Academy students waning. It’s hard for one person to lead the game alone. On the other hand, the Demons tend to focus even more when in danger.”

“Maybe it’s because they’re a race mad about battle…”

Elia chimed in as we continued.

As she said, the Demons naturally became more focused as the combat situation intensified.

In this dire circumstance, it was perhaps true the Demons had an advantage.

“Whatever it may be, one thing is certain.”

As the break was coming to a close, Rai said.

“If the Demons manage to win, something immense will unfold.”

The final set had begun.

***

(Team) Demon King Sama (Artlux): Top is missing, Omos!

(Team) Demon Realm’s 2nd in Command Omos (Sandra): Yes!

The Demon Team charged forward with tremendous momentum in the final match.

All lanes were effortlessly navigating the game while skipping ganks and roaming.

Omos sought another solo kill once again.

But he wouldn’t make the same mistake as last game.

Under the fervent cheers of humans, he showcased extreme gameplay.

-AAAAH! Azar! Miraculously survives!

“Aah! If I could just take that!”

“You sure got away well!”

A breath-holding exchange.

The game was so heated that they traded only one kill for over ten minutes.

And in that tense atmosphere, a kill that would change the game transpired.

-AAAAAH! Demon King Sama! Double kill!

Lumia’s Artlux took the gank single-handedly and secured a double kill.

This was a situation that could flip the game completely.

-Top! The Demon Team starts to press!

Lumia rolled the snowball without missing a beat.

Teleporting to the bottom, they scored another kill.

(Team) Academy Heartthrob (Caitlyn): Ah…!

(Team) Suspended by Professor (Leona): Oh, the bottom lane was doing well…!

The concentration of the Academy Team began to wane.

The mental state they had been barely holding onto started to falter.

In the midst of this, a word from the divine.

(Team) Hide on Jungle (Azar): Let’s just do as we were.

Despite the unfavorable situation, Dennyan spoke calmly.

His calm voice stabilized the Academy Team’s mental state.

Still, the game’s flow remained unfavorable.

As Dennyan managed to barely stabilize the situation, the Demon Team rolled the snowball with bold plays.

No matter how hard they tried, the gold gap was already far too wide.

Honestly, it looked like there was little chance of victory at this point.

“No way… This is…”

“This… looks tough.”

“No, if it’s him…!”

Hope and despair coexisted in the audience.

Objectively speaking, it was a hard situation for the Academy Team to win.

Even with those present, COL was still a team game.

(Team) Hide on Jungle (Azar): Guys, enemy mid is coming.

Currently, both mids had lost a tower.

As Dennyan pushed the mid lane, the Demon Team began to gather around him.

They intended to deal with the most annoying one and end the game.

Because Dennyan was aware of this, he reset the downed tower with his passive and maintained his distance suitably.

But then,

-AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Yes! He’s stunned!

Caught by Alice’s skill, Dennyan was stunned.

Seizing the moment, the entire Demon team charged toward Dennyan.

It was practically an impossible situation to escape.

Indeed, Dennyan’s position was quite deep. If his teammates tried to help, they could be wiped out too.

Common sense would dictate abandoning Dennyan, waiting for him to respawn.

From a human perspective, that would be the best play.

But the ‘divine’ perspective was different.

(Team) Hide on Jungle (Azar): Everyone, come in.

In that brief moment.

Dennyan called out to his approaching teammates.

It was a situation where one wrong fight could lead to complete annihilation. Logically, it was a time to flee.

(Team) Academy Heartthrob (Caitlyn): …Yes!

(Team) Suspended by Professor (Leona): Yes!

(Team) School Uniform Lover (Gyeongplain): I’ll teleport!

Yet, with not a single question, the Academy teammates followed his command and charged toward him.

“Wait, are they really going in?”

“No, if he dies, the game ends!”

“What are they doing?!”

Seeing this, the audience all raised their voices in a frenzy.

If he dies now, everything was over.

They would face defeat against the Demons.

But still, the Academy Team did not halt.

They dashed toward the ensnared Azar, using their flashes. Their movements were without a hint of doubt.

This was the ‘divine’ order.

The sturdy trust of the long-synchronized Academy Team was unwavering.

-AAAAAH! The Academy Team is going in! If they get cut here, it’s all over… uh, uh, huh? Huh?!

Rai, who had been drenching the commentary in excitement, suddenly fell silent as Azir’s next move unfolded.

-AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Azir!!! THE ULTIMATE!!!

The moment the stun wore off.

Azir surged into the enemy lines, riding on the sand soldiers instantly.

And Azir struck all five enemies with his ultimate.

“WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

“Insane, INSAAAAAANEEEEEEEE!!!”

Along with that, an overwhelming cheer erupted.

As Azir used Zhonya, he entered a state of invulnerability.

Meanwhile, the arriving teammates unleashed all their skills onto the enemies hit by the ultimate.

-The Demon Team! Gets wiped out! The Academy Team’s Azir together with the turret instantly melts the Demon Team!!!

A perfect ultimate and a flawless collaboration.

It was a tiny possibility nobody had noticed, something an ordinary human could never have seen.

Only the ‘divine’ could perceive that minute possibility, and Dennyan had led the start of that miracle alone.

“He is… a god…”

“This is… HAAAAH…”

“Great Dennyan… truly…”

The audience bore witness to the play of the ‘god.’

Some cheered like mad, some knelt, and some shed tears.

Amidst that, the man who created the miracle calmly smashed the tower.

-The Academy Team wraps it up! Down goes the turret, the inhibitor, and the nexus!!! The nexus is DESTROYED!!!!

In that moment, a roar erupted that shook the continent, resonating as if it would burst forth!
