‘It’s Over’ Thought the crowd of spectators, media and influencers as they saw the nine white flaming orbs approach the sluggish Pax.

“Wtf is Pax doing! Why is he not activating the defensive and barrier cards we prepared for him?” Asked Beth looking at her dear brother who was barely able to stand, quite similar to a drunk fool.

“It’s the effect of the sharp temperature rise in his surrounding … though the origin card I made for him gave him a strong body enough to withstand that amount of heat he still is facing other ailments like Heavy sweating, Faintness, Dizziness, Fatigue, Weak, rapid pulse, low blood pressure, muscle cramps, etc. with all this he is still standing that is impressive…” I explained, the card I created I knew best 2800 Kelvin’s was nothing for it. Pax could withstand it but when the heat neared the melting point of black steel F16 alloy 10,800 kelvins it was impressive that Pax could still stand on his feet, I am surprised he did not faint because of overheating, not to mention him activating his cards for defence.

“Mr Wyatt, do you think Pax can survive the explosion? After all, you bet 100 soul jades on Pax. Are you that confident in my brother?” Asked Amy, she somehow found out I bet on Pax’s win, wait it must be the bookie who contacted her to check if the contract of 100 soul jade loan she signed was true.

“No, I am not confident in your brother but the card I created! Though I will have to admit I had underestimated Paul… to think he came up with such a strategic move” I honestly replied.

Fuck! Right now I was cursing myself for being too greedy… I am not to be blamed… it is that shameless Paul’s fault… MF! where is your Whiteburn family pride and chivalry? I was seriously depressed right now and it was more depressing feeling Susan’s ‘I told you so’ glare from the side. Right now all I can do is trust that Pax has a good head on him and if he played his cards right he could make a good comeback.

As 9 white flamed orbs neared Pax reflexively jumped back which in the eyes of the crowd was a pointless struggle! Many people thought Paul was clever, some thought that he was shameless and very few pitied Pax for his luck. But what happened next ascended their understanding leaving them dumbfounded rendering them speechless.

Pax who had Jumped backwards burst into blinding white light and soon a 21-meter tall light Knight armoured humanoid golem stood in his place. The crowd was dumbfounded and in a state of shock, most of them were veteran adventurers and had fought the infamous giants and elder giant but seeing a 21-meter tall armoured golem was a new sight to them…

As for the card creationists in the crowd, only one question rose in their head ‘how do you control such a huge golem?’ Even though Pax was in the early card soldier realm his mental strength was still not enough to control such a humongous beast… if not for the cerebral and soul link their guess would be true as a normal card soldier can’t control such a gigantic golem with just his mental strength.

Some of the Michael Angelo followers instantly recognised the armour worn by the mech and mistook it for the avatar of Michael Angelo… this misunderstanding further deepened as they started to believe Pax’s origin card is the avatar of demigod Michael Angelo and considered Pax the messenger of Michael Angelo.

Hearing the crowd call the Iron Flesh mech as ‘Golem’ ‘Avatar’ ‘Michael Angelo’s messenger’ as the creator of iron Flesh I was very offended and my mouth twitched in rage, ‘Fuck You heretics! That’s a real-life mech! MF! Not a Golem nor an Avatar it is a Mech, you dimwits!’

“Wow! Now that’s what I call a game-changer. I want one of those! Wyatt, I want one of those!” Shouted Beth excitedly finally coming out of the shock and forgetting the depression a few minutes ago.

“Nope, still not enough! Those 9 ords are packing huge energy and along with buff of the field card once they explode the thermal energy released will reach beyond the melting point of black steel F16 alloy for the period of explosion… it is questionable whether the golem can still survive under such heat. ” Amy calmly analysis the point everyone was missing.

“Impressive” I complimented her and added, ” it depends on your brother and his luck… but considering his luck and actions so far the results seem to be less promising.”

“Pax has fought harder battles and has good decision-making skills, considering your words I think Pax can bring out the best in the worst.” Said Amy, she seemed to be very confident in her brother or she just did not dare to think otherwise.

Thankfully Pax did not disappoint her confidence and covered the mech’s vital points with its arms and legs.

‘Boom!’

‘Thud!’

Followed by the sound of the explosion there was a huge sound of the mech falling to the ground with its back leaning against the arena barrier… if not it would fall to the ground on its back and get stuck like a turtle on its back. The arms and legs of the mech were in bad condition and they were rendered completely incapable of any sort of movements as the black steel f16 alloy cooled down thanks to its thermal absorption property which instead of helping, made the situation much worse than it should be as the arms and legs of the mech were jammed with the melted and cooled black steel f16 alloy.

Seeing the condition of the mech those who thought that the deathmatch just got interested suddenly lost the last shred of any hope for Pax, especially the twins, they both stood up on their feet and anxiously shouted, “Brother!” If not for the barrier blocking them they would have jumped in the arena to check on and help their brother.

Paul who was surprised by the sudden appearance of a 21-meter tall golem finally calmed down seeing its rundown state.
