At this moment, the organizers intentionally sped things up, making the pace of the matches even faster. Time flew by, and soon, four hours had passed. The first, loophole-ridden New Olympic Games was finally nearing its end. After a massive number of rapid-fire matches, the top ten had been decided.

Per the organizers’ arrangements, everyone was given a one-hour break. Then, at 8:00 PM in Country F, the round-robin grand finals for the top ten would begin to determine humanity’s strongest game ability inheritor!

When the list of the top ten was announced, the forums once again exploded with discussion threads. On the Great Xia forums, everyone was incredibly excited to see that three of their own had made it into the top ten. Over a hundred countries were participating this time, and among them were eight or nine major powers! Yet their Great Xia had claimed three of the top ten spots, filling everyone with pride.

"Fucking awesome! I just knew our three from Great Xia would make it into the top ten!"

"Like hell we needed you to ’just know’ it! It was a given!"

"If not them, then who else could it be?!"

"Isn’t this what everyone was hoping for?!"

"Hey, what about that guy! That director from the Hang City Tourism Management Office, wasn’t he super arrogant?! Demanding more slots and all!"

"And for what? What’s the damn point of more slots if you can’t even get one person into the top hundred!"

"Did you want more slots just for fun?"

"You were given a chance and you blew it!!"

Some contestants who couldn’t participate due to the slot allocation issue took to the Great Xia forums to roast the Hang City Tourism Management Office for hogging spots. Because Hang City, besides Divine Capital, was the only other city in Great Xia to have captured two cities, its Tourism Management Office had taken several slots for itself this time. Unfortunately, judging from the final results, Hang City’s slots were wasted. Not a single one of their people made it into the global top one hundred. This rendered the previously arrogant director of the Hang City Tourism Management Office completely speechless.

"Go, Dad!!"

In Qing City’s Nanshan Villa District, Shen Yue was ecstatic to see her father enter the global top ten. She hadn’t rested much since last night, watching the New Olympic Games live stream the entire time.

How did this thing mutate into something like this?

While secretly cheering for her father, her gaze drifted to the spectral card projection in the corner of her villa.

Time flew by, and soon, the one-hour break was over!

The live stream feed changed, and the grand finals began. Ten "athletes" in all sorts of different outfits stood on the arena platform. The people of Great Xia focused their attention on the three contestants from their country.

Of these three, besides a player named Perseverance who possessed a set of chess pieces, the other two were, as everyone expected, "Immortal Emperor" and "Taiyi Zhenren."

And aside from the three from Great Xia, on the platform, there was a bald Indian man whose entire body shimmered with a metallic luster; a tall Knight clad in full-body armor made of a special material; and a bald Mage with a pointed hat and a flat, sunken nose.

After countless matches, these ten had finally earned their place on the platform. While these ten might not necessarily be the absolute strongest, they were, without a doubt, relatively strong—or to be precise, exceptionally strong contestants.

"Let the drawing begin!!"

Due to time constraints and the global live broadcast, the event proceeded quickly. Not long after the ten contestants were introduced, the globally televised drawing for the round-robin tournament began!

"Holy shit!"

"Holy shit!"

"HOLY SHIT!!"

A few minutes later, upon seeing the results of the draw, the people of Great Xia were stunned once again. This time, the drawing was broadcast live worldwide, with no chance for cheating. But no one expected that Immortal Emperor and Taiyi Zhenren would be drawn against each other again! The two of them were matched up for the very first round. Furthermore, because this was the grand finals, the new rules prohibited forfeiting.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Immortal Emperor and Huang Yi stood on the platform. This time, they had to fight. There would be no forfeiting. They couldn’t forfeit. One of them had to die and be eliminated!

"What the fuck!"

"What the fuck!"

"WHAT THE FUCK!"

Just as everyone was waiting with bated breath, another sudden change occurred. The netizens watching this unfold on the live stream were all dumbfounded. It never ends! One bizarre event after another?

Everyone saw that a massive, purple Teleportation Gate had suddenly opened above the stadium where the arena was located. A purple Teleportation Gate, several kilometers in diameter, had opened high in the sky above the stadium.

Then, a Super Boss stepped out of the Teleportation Gate. It stood nearly a thousand meters tall, with two horns on its head and a double-bladed weapon in its hands. The creature was wreathed in green flames, walked on four legs, and had a massive posterior. Its eyes glinted with tyranny and bloodlust.

After stepping out of the Teleportation Gate, it hovered in mid-air, green flames burning beneath its feet. Then, with a great leap, it landed heavily in the Country F city outside the stadium.

BOOM!

Its landing obliterated countless skyscrapers. Because the Teleportation Gate had opened directly above the stadium, the being’s appearance was captured by a multitude of cameras. Its image was instantly broadcast across the entire world.

"Holy shit! Magnus!!"

"Holy shit!! The world-ending boss Magnus from World of Warcraft?!?"

"Holy shit!! Beastmen will never be slaves!!!"

Seeing the appearance of the giant boss, many people instantly recognized its identity.

"Damn, how did this inheritance end up in Country F?"

"What’s so surprising? People in Country F play World of Warcraft, too!"

The world-ender, Magnus, made a casual gesture, and the massive buildings around it disintegrated into dust.
