Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 721: 720: Summoning the Devil
 

War, this was a war, a do-or-die battle—

The war had already erupted at the very start of the game.

With the Seattle Seahawks displaying their intimidating presence in the front and the Kansas City Chiefs launching a direct counterattack from the back.

Moreover, so forcefully, so dominantly, Li Wei penetrated into the hearts of the home fans at CenturyLink Field in that most familiar way of the Seattle Seahawks.

Decisively, ruthlessly, sharply.

Suddenly, grabbing the throat of the CenturyLink Field, the tight tension pushed to its limit.

The two teams, head-to-head, unyielding, smoke of gunpowder enveloping everything.

For a brief moment, the CenturyLink Field was under the illusion that the man who had once whipped up the Beast Mode frenzy was back in Seattle.

Memories, awakened, because Li Wei had thoroughly humiliated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first week of the regular season in Bell’s manner; also because the shocking power of Beast Mode was deeply imprinted in their bones, no one knew better than CenturyLink Field what that meant.

Different memories intertwined, creating an unbelievable scene at CenturyLink Field—

The entire stadium, shocked, astonished, dead silent, all restlessness, all noise, all sounds completely vanished.

However.

It was just a moment, just a brief moment, and then CenturyLink Field quickly reacted and was infuriated by the realization of that moment of silence.

How could this be! How could they!

CenturyLink Field, one of the most dangerous and terrifying home fields in recent seasons, the noise produced by the fans of the Seattle Seahawks here not only resembled jet planes but also once caused a minor earthquake in Seattle, setting a Guinness record, stunning the League.

This place was a devil’s home field that everyone in the League feared.

From the 2013 to the 2016 season, the Seattle Seahawks maintained an impressive home record of twenty-six wins and six losses, losing only one game at CenturyLink Field in the seasons of 2013, 2014, and 2016.

Undoubtedly, CenturyLink Field was one of the most fearsome home fields in the League.

However, last season, CenturyLink Field didn’t perform well, and the Seattle Seahawks lost four home games, leading the League to mockingly call CenturyLink Field “victory-crazed,” only a devil’s home field when the Seahawks were performing well, otherwise just a flip-flopper with weak knees.

This criticism fueled the rage of the Seahawks fans, leading to a strong revival this season, recovering their former glory in both fan base and home field presence.

So far, the Seattle Seahawks had only lost to the Los Angeles duo at CenturyLink Field, respectively to the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers.

Now, waking from the nightmare, all those accusations and attacks were reviving like a tide, realizing they had just been stunned into silence by Li Wei—

Li Wei? Kansas City Chiefs?

Although they were currently the top seed in the American League, all three of their losses this season had occurred away from home, making the League generally believe that the Chiefs were prone to fluctuations and vulnerabilities in long-distance away games.

Was it possible that the famously fierce home field was afraid of an away weakling?

Does that make sense?

A wave of humiliation swept over them, even more overwhelming and tumultuous than anger, instantly unleashing an incredible energy at CenturyLink Field, rolling mightily towards Li Wei, wishing nothing more than to crush him to dust.

Roar, roar, roar.

Deep, explosive, overwhelming, the ground of the entire stadium began to tremble slightly, the agitated air burning and boiling on the skin’s surface.

CenturyLink Field was enraged, thoroughly, a mix of shame and anger, frustration and stifled emotions roaring long at CenturyLink Field.

The man who awakened the devil seemed unaffected, turning to his teammates with a smile, his eyes wide with curiosity and excitement, just like a primary school student studying how a silkworm spins silk.

“Just a light poke, and they bristle up,” he said.

Despite not wanting to admit it, the fact was… Li Wei’s description was vivid and animated, and the Kansas Chiefs Offense couldn’t help but laugh—

the atmosphere was joyous.

If the Seattle Seahawks thought the Kansas City Chiefs came to CenturyLink Field without being ready to face the devil’s home field and just recklessly charged in, then they were too naive and foolish—clearly, they didn’t truly understand the Chiefs, nor did they understand Li Wei.

The combat was fierce, with bayonets clashing.

The two teams, both desperate for victory, engaged in a direct confrontation, where not only the offense but also the defense played crucial roles.

Of course, there’s no need to mention the Kansas City Chiefs. The ability of the defense to toughen up at critical moments was key to the team’s dominance this season.

The Seattle Seahawks were no different. Even though the Bombing Corps was no longer in its heyday, one shouldn’t forget it was Carroll who built them. Carroll had his own systems for using defensive tactics and scouting defensive players, subtly changing the league’s defensive strategies.

The situation was particularly tense.

“14:14.”

Always tangled, always intense. It wasn’t until near the end of the first half that the score changed again.

The Seattle Seahawks intercepted Mahomes, giving Wilson a chance to start their drive thirty-three yards from the end zone. However, Wilson couldn’t seize the opportunity and only managed a small advance before facing a three-strike strikeout, but the Seahawks still took the lead with a field goal.

“14:17.”

With a slight advantage, the home team returned to the locker room. But once the second half began, the fierce competition continued, and both offensive groups seized on the slight easing of the opposition’s defense to ramp up their attacks. It was my turn after yours, with the scores chasing and overtaking each other.

Undoubtedly, Wilson was full of drive, delivering his best performance of the season—

His passing success rate was 66.7%; he threw for 333 yards; three touchdowns, no interceptions.

Everything was perfect, as he unstopably led the Seahawks on an aggressive drive.

Similarly, Mahomes was also back in strong form.

After the ups and downs of last week, despite Mahomes regaining his focus this week, his young capabilities to adjust were still not perfect. Coupled with the Seahawks’ strong defense, in the first half, Mahomes’ pass success rate was a poor 44.4%, far from outstanding.

Finally, after the halftime break, Mahomes regained his passing touch, and although the first half stats were a drag, his overall success rate was still around 53%. But at this point, his improved performance, especially in critical third-down passes, was evident.

The Kansas City Chiefs tenaciously clung to the game.

“31:31.”

Midway through the fourth quarter, not only had the gap not widened, but it had also become even more tense and tighter—

It felt familiar.

Seeing the deadlock that had occurred more than once this season appear yet again, the Chiefs were pushed into a climactic moment.

However, this time someone stepped forward, making their voice heard:

I beg to differ.

That figure was none other than number twenty-three from the Kansas City Chiefs, Li Wei.
