"Are there only three left?"
Feng Buzhi looked up at the sky and muttered. Although he only needed to kill two more aliens to secure the final victory, his emotions remained unstirred.
After all, he was a practitioner, while the other aliens here were merely mortals who had acquired a sliver of power.
Suddenly, Feng Buzhi's ears caught an unusual humming sound.
The sound was peculiar. Feng Buzhi turned his head to scan his surroundings, but he could not locate the source of the hum. His sonar ability, limited to a thirty-meter radius, also failed to detect anything abnormal.
"You damn monster! Go to hell!!!"
Suddenly, Feng Buzhi spotted a short gnome appearing above the ruins in front of him—or more accurately, a gnome loli. She had pointed ears and looked quite adorable, her voice soft and sweet.
The piercing roar intensified. The gnome loli was bleeding from her seven orifices, and Feng Buzhi found his body unable to move, as if restrained by some invisible force.
Then...
BOOM!!
Feng Buzhi's head exploded, the crimson light paths on his body extinguished, and he collapsed.
The gnome loli coughed up blood repeatedly; clearly, the attack she had just unleashed had cost her dearly, but it was all worth it.
Relying on a secret technique, the gnome loli had previously transformed herself into a stone statue.
While in her statue form, she had witnessed that monster's slaughter. She did not recognize the guy who had transformed into a giant bear, but she certainly knew Tos, the Eye of Demon Ghost. He was the most outstanding genius of the Black Horn Clan, and the gnome loli believed she had no chance of winning against him.
Yet, even this Tos, after ambushing the monster with his ocular technique, had his neck crushed by that very monster.
Later, after the bear-man unleashed Tier 3 strength in his giant bear form, he also failed to kill the monster, managing only to sever one of the monster's arms.
Fortunately, her ambush had succeeded.
She had won this Million-Player Battle Royale!
To emerge victorious in this Deep Abyss Trial, one needed more than just strength; one required luck, as well as a certain temperament and set of methods.
If that monster had been more low-key and hadn't been so eager to strike, choosing instead to wait for them to attack and exhaust each other, he would have had a high probability of securing the final victory.
The gnome loli smiled while painfully coughing up blood.
However, her smile did not last long.
"Why hasn't it ended yet? Didn't I win?"
Within the gnome loli's line of sight, a figure leaped out from the shadow on the ground.
"Shadow Clan? Despicable Shadow Clan, don't let me find out who you are, or I will..."
The gnome loli's words came to an abrupt end as the Shadow Clan member's short dagger sliced through her throat.
Soon, the Shadow Clan member also wore a look of confusion—the trial had not ended.
Then, he saw the headless corpse whose head had just been shattered by the gnome loli stand up.
The headless corpse underwent a transformation; two arms sprouted from its back, and simultaneously, a new head grew from the side of the shattered one. That head wore an expression filled with compassion.
Crimson light paths crawled all over his body, and waves of heat rose from Damo's frame.
Even with the taciturn nature of a Shadow Clan assassin, his expression was filled with astonishment.
Damo stretched his body and looked up at the sky.

"Compassion. So, you wicked creature were hiding in the shadows, while that little girl disguised herself as a statue."
Damo looked at the Shadow Clan man in front of him, sighed, and then lunged forward.
Sensing danger, the Shadow Clan man immediately dove into a nearby shadow, but Damo's fist did not lose its momentum, striking directly into the shadow the man had entered.
Moments later, the Shadow Clan man slid out of the shadow, coughing up blood, and Damo followed up with a punch that shattered the man's head.
Wiping his blood-stained fist, Damo revealed a compassionate smile.

The text in the sky changed once again.
The next moment, the thick, blood-colored mist vanished, and everything around became clearly visible.
Then, accompanied by a dragging force, Damo found himself entering a room made of flesh and blood.
This room was real; it was not a room formed by some eerie illusion, but a genuine room of flesh and blood.
Soon, a blood-colored light screen appeared before him, with text constantly generating and flickering upon it.
The Million-Player Battle Royale scenario has ended.

Accompanied by the constant flickering of the light screen, a dim radiance surged forth, and both the shattered head and the arm bitten off by the giant bear were restored to their original state.
Soon, the two consciousnesses merged once more, and Feng Buzhi returned to his normal human appearance.
A black energy sphere appeared in front of Feng Buzhi, which was presumably the final reward for this [Million-Player Battle Royale].
Feng Buzhi reached out his arm, intending to claim the reward, but he suddenly heard a faint, eerie whispering and lowered his hand.
These eerie whispers collided with one another, and two lines of blurred text appeared before Feng Buzhi.
[You have obtained a hidden reward]
[By forfeiting the reward before you, you may obtain a wish that does not exceed the value of the reward]
Feng Buzhi raised an eyebrow and asked, "A wish? Can it be any wish?"
[Your wish cannot exceed the value of the reward]
Feng Buzhi nodded and said, "I choose the wish."
Following Feng Buzhi's words, the black energy sphere floating before him vanished, and then a new line of text appeared.
[Please state your wish]
Feng Buzhi pondered for a moment and said, "Ten days ago, when I killed Wang Chen, I saw him fall into the abyss. That abyss made me feel palpitations and unease. I have often recalled and contemplated the scene I saw back then, and then I suddenly realized that what I saw at that time should not have been the true abyss."
"So, can you let me witness the true abyss?"
[As you wish]
