Mars

After reaching a population of five, Mike's strategy became increasingly clear:

George was placed at the front, with ECA right behind him, and Stone guarding Ced. This setup ensured that as soon as the battle began, George would trigger his invincibility trait. After five seconds of invincibility, he would be taken down. 

Once ECA died, Stone would gain the resurrection trait. This way, Mike's team could die six times in total, allowing Nine Shadow to gain a 150-point boost in combat power!

Under Mike's management, Nine Shadow's power skyrocketed, quickly surpassing 1,000, making it the strongest piece in Mike's lineup! With Nine Shadow leading the charge, Mike dominated the following battles, climbing the ranks with ease.

In the Gold promotion match, Mike faced his first mini-boss of the early game, and it was the most suspenseful battle yet. 

Mike's team had less than 5,000 combat power, while the enemy boasted over 10,000!
