They Returned

That was quite a story.

Annihilation did not know how to explain it either. Fortunately, he raised his hand and made a move, leaving Ye Tai and Tang Chuan dumbfounded. With a Divine Move, the originally slightly inferior position instantly collapsed across the board. There was no need for another move—Ye Tai could only watch helplessly as his side was completely crushed.

Annihilation said, "Ten games, ten certain deaths. If this board reflects your life, then making it this far is already the greatest miracle."

Ye Tai stared wide-eyed at the board and said, "How did I lose? I still had a killing move I hadn't used. I was so close to turning it around."

Annihilation said, "I noticed it, so I moved before you did. Play another ten games, and you will still lose every one of them."

Ye Tai watched all his pieces be swallowed up. He simply leaned back and said, "No more. Winning one game is enough. One game is all I need."

Annihilation said, "Do you think you can seize the hope of that one game every time?"

Ye Tai smiled and shook his head. "No, that wasn't my choice. It was my only choice. Whenever I stopped to rest, something would happen and push me forward. Over time, I just kept charging ahead with my head down. One day, things will be different. And if not, then so be it."

"Nothing but bitterness."

Tang Chuan, who had been beside them, spoke up. "But with so many unconventional moves, there is actually a chance to link them together, create a Divine Move, and turn the situation around."

Ye Tai's eyes lit up. "Big Brother, you've been watching for so long. Want to review a game?"

Annihilation looked over curiously as well. "What do you mean?"
