Atavistic World System
"Alright, I won't waste any more words. The next duelist to appear is..."
"A member of the Edge Gang, codenamed Initial Adam!"
As the steward finished speaking, a burly middle-aged man wearing a black, mechanical-style mask walked into the dueling arena through an entrance.
Everyone sitting in the audience heard that it was Initial Adam of the Edge Gang.
A burst of excitement and shouts immediately erupted.
"Haha, interesting! One of tonight's duelists is actually from the Edge Gang!"
"The Edge Gang is quite formidable. I've always wanted to join them, but I've never been approved."
"And he's Initial Adam third-in-command of the Edge Gang. He used to make a living in the dueling arena. How long has it been since he last came here to challenge anyone since joining the Edge Gang?"
I'd heard he was from a level three Creation World before, but I never expected him to appear as a level four one. Is he planning to use the dueling arena to declare the strength of a level four Creation World now?
"I think it's possible, after all, the Edge Gang has always had friction with several other organizations of similar standing."
"Whatever, we're definitely going to make a profit on today's tickets. Let's see just how strong Initial Adam really is."
"I wonder who the other challenger is today. If I had known beforehand that it was the Initial Adam, I definitely wouldn't have dared to duel."
"Haha, I bet they're too scared to come out of the lounge now, aren't they?"
"I bet on the Initial Adam to win!"
"This... aren't we going to see what the other duelist will do?"
"I'm not watching anymore. Initial Adam strength was earned through fighting. He once had a fifteen-game winning streak in the dueling arena. Anyone who's been in the underground market for a while knows that."
"Yes, I'm not watching anymore, I'm betting on him, quick, quick, quick!"
Seeing the unexpectedly lively atmosphere, the manager revealed an excited expression beneath his mask.
If you can get their emotions in check, then it's easier to make money.
Shen Hui calmly looked out of the lounge window at the dueling arena.
"It seems everyone recognizes this duelist known as the Initial Adam."
"Alright, everyone now knows that the first duelist is the Initial Adam."
"Next, I'd like to introduce another duelist."
Codename: Death God!
No one recognized the code name.
"Death God? What kind of title is that? I've never heard of it."
"That's impressive. Daring to give yourself such a nickname, aren't you afraid of getting yourself killed? Hahaha."
"He must be a newcomer to the underground market, right? His first battle in the arena, and he's already facing Initial Adam. His luck is absolutely terrible."
Let's see what this lucky person looks like.
Under the arrangement of the staff, Shen Hui followed the manager's instructions after he finished speaking.
We arrived at the dueling arena through a special passageway in the lounge.
However, after Shen Hui emerged from the shadows and revealed his true appearance to everyone...
The previously noisy dueling arena fell silent for a moment.
"Holy crap, is this guy crazy? What kind of mask is that?"
"This is the Challenger codenamed Death God? Never seen him before, never seen him at all. But instead of calling him Death God, this mask should just be called a monster."
"Either he's mentally sound, or he's using psychological tactics, trying to scare the duelist with a frightening mask."
"If the other challenger hadn't been the Initial Adam, I almost would have believed it."
"You can't scare the Initial Adam!"
"I wonder if this Death God has any background or connections. Otherwise, no matter how powerful he is, just considering the forces behind Initial Adam, would he dare to win?"
"Those with status and connections wouldn't be fighting in the dueling arena; they should all be sitting here with us."
"He should be able to win, after all, the rules of this dueling arena can't be broken, but does he dare to use his full strength?"
"That makes sense. If the third-in- Edge Gang were injured, even if nothing happened here, things might be different privately..."
"No matter how you look at it, this guy codenamed Death God is completely useless."
The audience members were all talking and gossiping.
Amidst the noise, Shen Hui also heard some comments about himself.
But they just scoffed and didn't care at all.
Upon reaching the center of the dueling arena, a strange energy emanated from it, just like in the Creation World.
You can establish a connection with your own Creation World here, and then summon units from that Creation World.
Initial Adam also positioned himself in opposition to Shen Hui.
Although neither of them spoke, Shen Hui sensed a feeling of complete indifference from the other.
"The duel begins now!"
The manager shouted again into the microphone, then swiftly left the dueling arena, leaving the space to Shen Hui and Initial Adam.
Amidst cheers from all around.
Ripples appeared in the space around Initial Adam.
Two humanoid beings emerged from the ripples in space.
Those are Hero Unit from the other side's Creation World.
Since this isn't a global competition, we naturally need to field our top-tier combat power.
It is described as a humanoid creature.
It's because those two Hero Unit have human forms, yet also insect-like characteristics.
More accurately, that's a characteristic of arthropods.
Its entire body is covered by a chitinous exoskeleton.
It has several pairs of symmetrical appendages on its chest and abdomen, and its hands are huge clamps.
It has transparent wings on its back.
It is enormous, standing a full three meters tall. Even with its exoskeleton, one can still feel the massive muscles and terrifying explosive power beneath it.
The other party's world system... this is a kind of Atavistic Evolution of genetic categories.
Generally speaking, evolution is a forward process.
However, in the process of evolution, as they become more complex, they lose many of their single but powerful abilities.
Atavistic Evolution does not mean degeneration.
Instead, they evolved in reverse to regain these lost powerful abilities.
For example, the appearance and characteristics of the opposing Hero clearly indicate that the world's development process Atavistic Evolution to the category of arthropods.
The most powerful known class is the single-celled organism.
The origin of life: a single cell, capable of infinite division and reproduction.
At this point, having just one powerful unit is equivalent to having countless others!
Upon seeing this, the surrounding audience erupted in another burst of excited and intense roars.
"The Initial Adam Giant has actually regressed to the arthropod category; it's unbeatable in its class!"
"This category's attack and defense capabilities have been pushed to the extreme; it's terrifying!"
"This Death God must be terrified now, look at him, standing there motionless."
"I wonder what kind of world system he uses. If it's a conventional world system, then it will be really difficult to fight him."
Shen Hui stood there calmly, and ripples spread through the space around him.
The people around were instantly stunned.
A statue emerged from the ripples in space.
