The challengers of the chessboard world were again thrown into a massive uproar. It was too frightening. Four teams had just stepped onto the arena and hadn’t even had the chance to communicate with the outside world.

Half a minute. Just half a minute, and they were all instantly killed by Waldo. Such speed was incredibly fast and fully demonstrated the terror of Waldo’s power. Twenty challengers instantly killed...

Without a doubt, Waldo was much more terrifying than anyone had imagined. The idea of taking on Waldo? Wanting to replace the Dawn team and become the new seed team? Difficult! Extremely difficult!

...

"Give up. Waldo’s ability to instantly kill four teams indicates that this is not even the limit of his strength. I reckon even ten teams together might not stand a chance against him!"

"Right, Waldo is unfathomable. No matter how many opponents he faces, he can kill them instantly. Our team is average in strength, there’s no need to take such a risk."

"Let’s give up!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Many team members communicated in their internal group chats. Although some were reluctant, faced with the harsh reality of Waldo’s near invincibility, they could only bow their heads in resignation and give up. "No way, Waldo is just too strong!"

"Surrender, there’s no need to persist anymore. Waldo is invincible, and we shouldn’t gamble our lives for some unrealistic dreams. Competition? Let others compete; I’m out of it!"

In a desert, a tall and burly man with a furry body and large blood-red eyes shook his head vigorously.

"Waldo is already invincible. Continuing with wishful thinking might just turn us into cannon fodder. Seed team? Rulers’ treasure? I don’t care anymore."

The burly man chuckled lightly, whether it was mocking or bitter laughter couldn’t be discerned. He was the captain of his team, and the other team members shared his thoughts and agreed to surrender.

"Surrender!"

From this moment on, their team officially withdrew from the competition for the seed team and lost the corresponding qualification.

Autumn Rain Team:

"Waldo is too powerful!"

"Four teams, a total of twenty challengers, all killed without any resistance in front of him, it’s terrifying."

"Many people didn’t even react and died!"

"This Waldo... is truly invincible."

"I know the captain of the Black Sea team among them, he’s very powerful, and the overall strength of the Black Sea team is much stronger than ours, even ranking in the top ten! But even such a top-notch team was directly killed!"

"Well, that means we’re pure cannon fodder."

"Although it sounds harsh, the reality... is probably just that."

"Let’s surrender."

"Yeah."

"I have no objections..."

"I agree..."

"Agree..."

Several members of the Autumn Rain team expressed their opinions in unison. Seeing this, the captain of the Autumn Rain team sighed secretly.

"Well then, if surrendering means surrendering, there’s no need for pointless persistence."

At this moment, many teams were choosing to surrender directly, without hesitation. At the same time, some challengers were discussing and speculating about Waldo’s strength.

Then, at the moment they reached their conclusion, they surrendered without hesitation. Originally, there were still over ten thousand teams in existence. Shortly after Waldo easily annihilated four teams, surrendering teams began to appear in large numbers, like mushrooms after the rain.

In less than three minutes, there were over a thousand surrenders. Subsequently, the pace not only didn’t slow down but accelerated. Five minutes later, two thousand teams surrendered. Ten minutes had passed, and five thousand teams surrendered!

"So many teams surrendering, too many! It’s only been ten minutes, and five thousand teams have surrendered! And the pace is not slowing down!" In the rulers’ palace, Little Rabbit and others were gathered together, staring at the chat channel without blinking. Some were excited, some thrilled. This scene was indeed a rare sight, quite spectacular.

Waldo smiled and said, "It’s quite normal. On one hand, they can’t gauge my strength and lack the courage to fight me. With insufficient fighting spirit, they naturally retreat. On the other hand, there are too many deaths, and the speed of death is too fast, making them feel despair. Some teams that intended to take advantage of the situation will naturally surrender. In the third aspect, it’s a kind of herd mentality. Even if some teams are unwilling to surrender, seeing other teams surrendering in droves will make them uneasy. In the end, they will make the same choice as the majority. Although it’s not the best result, it’s definitely not a wrong one."

Waldo paused for a moment and then continued, but this time, his tone changed, "However, don’t celebrate too early. The most challenging battle is about to come. I hope you are mentally prepared!"

Hmm?

Wade Mallin siblings, Kong Ming, and the little rabbit all were startled! What does this mean? The situation should be very favorable right now. Countless teams have chosen to surrender, significantly reducing the pressure on the Dawn team.

This should be the most relaxed moment, so why should they prepare for a difficult battle? However, seeing Waldo’s serious expression, everyone felt a chill in their heart. Waldo is not someone who would deceive them.

But...

Seeing the confused looks in everyone’s eyes, Waldo spoke up, slowly explaining, "Although most of the challengers will choose to surrender, not everyone will be willing to do so. Those powerful teams will not give up easily."

"If I’m not mistaken, the next battle will be our last. Moreover, based on our previous battles, the system might select five or six teams at once to confront us!"

"They are strong and numerous, that’s why I say, this will be our hardest battle!"

"I hope you are mentally prepared. I can’t guarantee the outcome, and you might even die in battle. Get ready!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in silence. Indeed. Waldo’s strength is so great that it causes the system to continuously increase the pressure on them. Especially now, when most of the challenger teams have surrendered, the remaining teams are extremely powerful.

They are either crazy teams or very troublesome ones. Moreover, the system might select at least five teams to confront them at once. They are powerful and numerous. For the Dawn team, this is undoubtedly a huge challenge.

Although Waldo is powerful, facing many challengers might still be overwhelming. In an instant, everyone, including the little rabbit, readied themselves for battle.
