"Three goals, three assists! A terrifying double hat-trick! Arsenal's captain goes berserk!"
"Three straight wins over Spurs in a single season! Averaging six goals per game! The North London Derby reduced to one-sided slaughter!"
"The most predictable North London Derby ever! Kai proves what it means to be the King of London!"
"Official: Tottenham sack Mauricio Pochettino immediately!"
After the FA Cup Fifth Round, the entire English football world erupted into heated debate!
The third North London Derby of the season had once again shocked the outside world with its sheer one-sidedness.
Arsenal blasted six past their rivals!
At White Hart Lane, they ruthlessly slaughtered Tottenham once more!
Even more laughable to the media was that, after the match, Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino was directly sacked!
"Manager Pochettino fired, Korean rising star Son Heung-min ruled out for the season, and top players Bale and Modrić constantly linked with other clubs!"
"This season's Spurs are in total disarray!"
The media ridiculed them at will.
Tottenham fans had sunk into utter misery this season!
But Arsenal fans were in ecstasy!
They had completed the treble of wins against their hated rivals, while also booking a place in the FA Cup quarterfinals!
Champions League, League Cup, FA Cup!
In all three competitions, Arsenal had fought their way deep into the knockout rounds!
And in February, three matches still awaited them—
two Premier League fixtures, and at the end of the month, the most important of all:
The League Cup Final!
Arsenal's first chance at silverware this season!
Their closest shot at a trophy in eight long years!
For countless nights and years, the lack of silverware had become a demon in the hearts of Gunners fans.
But this season, everything was different.
Because they now had Kai!
Across all competitions, Arsenal still maintained a terrifying perfect record!
"With our Gunner King leading us, we'll definitely win this title clash!"
"This is the first step in Arsenal's return to the summit!"
"Kai is Arsenal's god!"
The Arsenal faithful were ablaze with passion!
Their opponent in the League Cup Final was now confirmed: Manchester United!
Aside from Arsenal, the strongest sides in the Premier League this season were undoubtedly the Manchester clubs.
Manchester City, backed by their wealthy owners, had spent lavishly in the transfer market, strengthening their squad year after year.
Meanwhile, United, under Sir Alex Ferguson, were in the midst of a generational transition.
Their squad was blending youth and experience, still adapting.
But the Red Devils' heritage, combined with Ferguson's management, kept them firmly in the title race!
Last season, United had reached the final in all three competitions.
Yet in the FA Cup Final, they were heartbreakingly knocked out by Kai's then-team, Crystal Palace.
In the Champions League Final, they were crushed by Barcelona.
Their dream of a historic treble was shattered.
This season, United were hungrier than ever to reclaim silverware!
"League Cup Final: The Red Showdown returns! Arsenal vs Manchester United!"
"After being swept 4–0 earlier this season, can the Red Devils escape the shadow?"
"The top two of the Premier League face off! Who will claim the season's first trophy?"
The media began fueling the hype!
After the Spurs match, Pintus entered Arsenal's dressing room, reminding players to pay close attention to physical conditioning.
No alcohol, no indulgence.
In just one week, Arsenal's first title clash of the season awaited them!
It would be one of the most crucial moments of their campaign!
That evening, back at his villa, Kai received his post-match settlement rewards.
Two divine cards: a Set-Piece Guaranteed Goal Card and a Dribbling Card.
But at this stage, their value was limited.
Many of his attributes had already reached their maximum.
Now, his goal was to elevate every remaining attribute—
To become a flawless, all-round hexagonal war god!
Kai reforged the divine cards into unrestricted attribute points.
10 unrestricted points!
Glancing at his attribute panel, he allocated them all to Speed.
[Speed: 90 → 100!]
His speed had now reached its maximum!
Strength surged through his legs.
His muscle density and fiber explosiveness skyrocketed to unimaginable levels!
Maxed-out speed!
What did that even mean?
Previously, with a speed rating of 90, he had already outpaced Gareth Bale in the North London Derby.
And Bale, even if not the absolute fastest player in world football at the time, was easily in the top three!
Now, with maxed-out speed, Kai had become something else entirely.
He would undoubtedly step into an entirely new dimension.
Maxed-out speed paired with maxed-out dribbling!
Wouldn't that grant him an ability to combine man and ball beyond anything in history?
A terrifying presence who had max speed, max dribbling, max vision, and max passing all together!
Kai's expression burned with passion!
This season, Arsenal had already reached the stage of contending for titles.
His goal this year was to lead the team to win every single trophy within reach!
All honors—he was determined to grasp them tightly in his hands!
Three days later, before the League Cup final at the end of the month,
Arsenal still had two rounds of Premier League fixtures.
February 16.
Premier League Round 25.
Arsenal hosted Bolton Wanderers!
Bolton were a relegation-threatened minnow this season.
After 24 rounds, they sat only 17th in the table.
For this match, Arsenal rotated almost their entire starting lineup.
Kai led a full second-string side.
The result?
Arsenal cruised to a 5–0 victory!
Kai scored twice and provided two assists,
while Bolton even conceded an own goal.
Arsenal extended their Premier League winning streak to 25 matches!
What thrilled the English media even more was this:
At that moment, the record for consecutive wins across Europe's top five leagues was held—and continually broken—by Arsenal.
And the unbeaten streak record in the top five leagues was also created and still held by Arsenal!
That was the history written by the Invincibles a decade earlier—
49 matches unbeaten in the Premier League!
This record, in the eyes of countless journalists over the years,
was something impossible to break.
But the terrifying dominance Arsenal displayed this season made the media dream endlessly!
Still, to equal or even surpass the 49-match unbeaten run was impossible to achieve in a single season.
After all, the Premier League had only 38 rounds.
Would Kai stay at Arsenal next season?
During the winter transfer window, the giants of Europe had failed to snatch away the youngest Ballon d'Or winner in history.
What kind of frenzy would unfold in the summer window?
London's media speculated endlessly.
Of course, they didn't want Kai to leave London!
He was the undisputed King of London, adored and followed by tens of thousands of fans!
But that was for the future.
For now, Arsenal pressed on with their fixtures this month.
February 21.
Premier League Round 26.
Arsenal once again at home, this time against Aston Villa!
Villa this season were no more than a mid-to-lower-table side.
Worse, with constant managerial changes—
in just a few months they had already switched four different managers!
Unstable dressing room, frequent coaching changes…
Villa had lost all competitiveness.
Arsenal once again fielded a rotated lineup.
For them, the schedule was kind:
two consecutive home games against weak opposition right before the League Cup final.
Most of the regular starters enjoyed ample rest.
What truly terrified the outside media, however,
was that while almost all of Arsenal's main players were being rotated,
Kai kept playing every single game!
Such terrifying ironman durability shocked the press!
Inside Arsenal,
Wenger, Pat Rice, and the club's medical staff
were constantly monitoring Kai's physical condition.
Yet the data of this 17-year-old Arsenal captain
left even the medical experts stunned.
He was a complete superhuman!
Endless stamina, running without exhaustion,
and a body nearly invulnerable!
Kai played full matches across every competition, without showing the slightest fatigue.
In his eyes, there was only the relentless pursuit of goals, assists, and every possible honor!
The match ended…
