Chapter 505 - 207: The Return of the Death Pendulum
Destroy?
He couldn't destroy him at all.
Itoshi Rin pushed his brain to its limit, but he still couldn't see Tendou's weakness.
The reason was that Tendou's eyes could see the future; all of his own actions were intercepted by Tendou from that future.
Tendou succeeded in his tackle.
The next second, it was Manchester City's counter-attack.
Tendou was like a bolt of lightning, sprinting forward through the center.
The PSG players had already closed in on him when he made the tackle. In an instant, three players were drawn to Tendou.
Thwack~
Tendou didn't pass left or right but kicked the ball forcefully backward with his heel.
The ball went through the pursuing Itoshi Rin to the feet of Mikage Reo.
And Tendou.
He continued to accelerate explosively.
Mikage Reo didn't hesitate to launch a high ball.
He saw that Tendou had given him a subtle look before starting his run.
Reo understood.
The ball traced a beautiful arc in the air, landing behind the three PSG players who were closing in on Tendou.
This kind of link-up play was so elegant, like a work of art.
Thwack~
Like a meteor, Tendou shot past the three players and regained control of the ball.
He took a long touch, his eyes fixed on the path ahead.
At this moment, he was still in the 4.5th dimension. He looked forward, but he saw the entire pitch as if from a god's point of view.
"Don't even think about it!"
Suddenly, a streak of light cut through the air.
Loki, after turning, exploded forward, catching up with his world-class speed.
He went for a slide tackle on the ball at Tendou's feet, but his entire body passed through Tendou's silhouette.
Tendou dissipated before his eyes like a particle.
"A time-lag illusion!"
That trick again.
Loki glanced to the side and, sure enough, saw the figure who had flicked the ball and broken through on his other side.
He continued forward.
The PSG defensive line blared with alarms again. Michelin hurriedly moved up to delay him.
At this position, about 30 meters from the goal, he didn't dare to commit a foul easily.
A sudden stop, a pullback, shielding the ball to lure the opponent in, then a flick with the outside of his boot and a turn.
A series of movements, as smooth as flowing water.
Michelin followed him in a circle and, finally losing his balance, helplessly fell to the ground and watched Tendou charge into the penalty area.
The PSG goalkeeper didn't hesitate this time and charged out directly.
And then.
He witnessed a dreamlike scene, a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
Dong, dong, dong~
The bells of Notre Dame seemed to ring in Renoir's ears at this moment.
The high-speed Tendou slowed down, his upper and lower body beginning to shake irregularly.
His feet moved back and forth over the ball at a frequency of 4.0 Hz.
Renoir didn't know whether to dive left or right. Because of his hesitation, his legs suddenly stiffened, freezing him on the spot like a wooden stake.
"The Death Pendulum!"
"My God, what did I just see!"
"That's R9's Pendulum step-over!"
"PSG is finished!"
"..."
The commentators erupted.
After so many years, the alien's signature skill had reappeared on the pitch.
The scene was breathtaking.
"Release~"
Tendou let out a loud shout, and a streak of white light sliced through the black screen.
Loki, chasing from behind, threw his body forward without reservation, going for another slide tackle to block the shooting angle.
But this shot was too fast.
Over 17 meters per second!
BANG!
The ball turned into a bolt of lightning, destroyed PSG's defense, and slammed into the net, spinning violently.
"GOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLL!"
"IT'S IN!"
"MANCHESTER CITY'S NUMBER 7, HE HAS ENDED THE MATCH!"
"3:2!"
"MANCHESTER CITY HAS WON! THE FRENCH HAVE FALLEN BENEATH THEIR IRON HOOVES!"
"AN UNBELIEVABLE PENDULUM STEP-OVER!"
"I CAN SEE THE HELPLESSNESS AND FEAR OF THE PSG GOALKEEPER THROUGH THE SCREEN!"
"Uh, according to the latest news from the front, the shot speed of Man City's number 7 reached 17.6 m/s, surpassing the shot speed of Lionel Messi!"
Ego Jinpachi stared at the data on the screen.
He immediately reported Tendou's shot speed to the whole world.
3:2!
The match is over!
Manchester City has defeated Paris Saint-Germain.
The moment the ball hit the net, the Manchester City bench swarmed onto the field.
After scoring, Tendou immediately ran to the corner flag, ending this battle of prodigies with a passionate sliding kneel.
The others piled on top of him like rain, shouting and celebrating the victory with him.
Loki looked a bit lonely.
But he quickly shook his head.
One failure meant nothing. They were both still very young, and there would be many more opportunities to face each other in the future.
"Our real battlefield is in Europe."
Loki gave up his plan to recruit Tendou.
After this battle, it was even more impossible for Tendou to join Paris Saint-Germain. He wouldn't sign for a team weaker than himself to be a supporting player.
Just like Loki himself wouldn't take on someone weaker than him as a subordinate.
If two such players were on the same team, it would only throw the locker room into chaos.
After all, PSG's locker room already had the South American faction led by Neymar.
His battle with Neymar for control of the locker room was already chaotic enough.
Outside of Blue Lock.
When Tendou scored the winning goal, Riko jumped up in the cafe, reaching a height of 2.03 meters.
Her friend quickly pulled her down.
But just as Amanai Riko sat down, the customers at the next table, as if possessed, also jumped up.
Blue Lock was incredibly popular right now.
Fans were following the Blue Lock players every day, expecting them to deliver outstanding performances.
Players like Itoshi Rin, Barou Shoei, Isagi Yoichi, and Chigiri Hyoma were already minor celebrities.
But the one who received the most attention was, of course, Tendou.
He had conquered the male fans with his superb skills and, at the same time, conquered the female fans with his domineering good looks.
Especially when Tendou's market value was updated to 8 million Euros, his popularity had already surpassed that of the star players in the domestic league.
There was even a popular gravure idol who publicly confessed her love for Tendou, hoping to win both the man and his money!
At this point, the Blue Lock project could be said to be a complete success.
Because they had cultivated a super genius who could compete with, and even defeat, the prodigies of Europe.
Their future was bright.
...
The match was over.
When the electronic referee blew the final whistle, the numbers on the scoreboard were frozen, and the match clock was reset to zero.
Manchester City had defeated Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain in succession, achieving a two-game winning streak.
If this were an international tournament like the European Championship, the Copa América, or the World Cup, they would have basically secured a spot in the knockout stage.
