The finals begin
The next morning, Xiao Yu groggily woke up from his deep sleep. Looking around, he realized he was back in his own bed. If it weren't for the lingering pain in his chest from the previous day's blow, he would have almost thought it was all a dream.
However, he was clearly not just living in a bizarre dream. He unbuttoned his clothes and looked at his body. The place where Liu Wei had hit him yesterday was covered in bruises, and even the slightest movement caused him intense pain.
However, the pain did not make Xiao Yu feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, he felt a sense of relief. Who would have thought that Liu Wei and Zhang Haian would choose to kill him to silence him? And who would have thought that someone would appear out of nowhere to save him, killing five people in the process?
This plot is like something out of an action blockbuster.
Having experienced a scenario that seemed straight out of a movie, Xiao Yu was deeply moved and unable to calm down for a while.
He then remembered what Shen Yuan had told him yesterday.
Last night, after agreeing to Shen Yuan's suggestion, Shen Yuan did not tell him the specifics of how to do it. According to Shen Yuan, there was only one way to completely change the game world: to use a secret door he left in the game to change the entire world.
However, this secret door is extremely well hidden and difficult to access. Moreover, it can only be used once. Once Li Mingfei learns of its existence, he will destroy or hide it, thus completely losing his chance to change the world. Therefore, he will only tell Xiao Yu what to do after Xiao Yu becomes the boss of the expansion and at the very last moment.
Before that, all Xiao Yu needs to do is develop his strength as much as possible in the game, and then he can simply follow Shen Yuan's orders.
Xiao Yu expressed his understanding, as such a secret could not be revealed casually. Shen Yuan thanked him for his understanding and then sent someone to take Xiao Yu back to his home. Before leaving, Shen Yuan told him that he would help him settle things with the gambling company.
With a sigh, Xiao Yu stopped dwelling on what had happened yesterday.
Everything is in the past now, and there's no point in worrying. Since Shen Yuan said he can handle it, let's just trust him for now.
So next up is the final match.
Xiao Yu thought to himself, then checked the time: 8:30, half an hour before the competition started.
He quickly ate breakfast and then lay down in the gaming pod.
A few minutes later, he had arrived at the preparation area where the match was being held.
The preparation space today is unusually luxurious and enormous, situated on a huge high platform. A throne stands there, the throne of the strongest BOSS, which only the victor can sit on.
Below the throne was a platform with cards for selecting maps and the host in a golden robe.
At this moment, countless eyes are probably watching that platform, waiting for the competition to begin. However, Xiao Yu is not as excited as he imagined. After experiencing life and death yesterday, he is surprisingly calm today.
Xiao Yu did not appear immediately, but waited until the others arrived one after another. Finally, at 9 o'clock, he flew towards the platform.
Meanwhile, Naiser, Lord of Purgatory, also flew over, a pair of enormous golden wings behind him, lifting him towards the platform.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, the two bosses made their appearance simultaneously.
Host: Alright, both of you, welcome to the final round of the Evil Forces Competition. Now, please draw a map. Will you two flip a coin, or will you decide for yourselves who will choose the map?
Naiser (King of Purgatory): "There's no need for all that trouble. Just let the system generate it. I don't think the Elemental King will have any objections."
Xiao Yu shook his head. "That suits me perfectly."
"Alright then," the host said, pressing the button directly.
System notification: BOSS data loading, map generation in progress, map element generation in progress, map background story editing in progress, map generation complete.
Map Name: The Land of Origins
Map size: Unknown.
Map data: The Land of Origins, the birthplace of the universe, where the four elemental forces of wind, fire, water, and earth were generated from chaotic energy. Light and darkness separated here, and time and space emerged here. All matter in the Sky World originates from this place.
But now, the Land of Origins is nothing but ruins, with only the Ancient Creation produced during the creation process still lingering in this forgotten realm.
Legend has it that the secret of creation is sealed in a corner of these ruins. Now, in order to find the answer to this secret, the King of Purgatory and the Elemental King have each led their armies to this region. They will not only face competition from each other, but also the obstruction of powerful Ancient Creation.
Map Elements: Ancient Creation. These ancient creatures existed since the beginning of the universe. They were byproducts of the Creator's creation of the universe. For some unknown reason, they were forgotten in this lost world, devouring each other and evolving. Over millions of years, they evolved unprecedented power, and any creature that enters this realm will become their prey.
Victory condition: Kill all opponents.
Failure condition: All units are destroyed.
This time, the map doesn't have any core camps or any other usable map elements; it's purely a deathmatch, and the rules couldn't be simpler.
However, this doesn't mean there aren't any tricks.
Xiao Yu knew how terrifying the Ancient Creation were. Even if he gathered the power of five BOSSes, it would still take several tens of minutes to defeat one. Judging from the map description, these things were everywhere in this world.
This map seems more like a survival map; the goal is simply to survive until all your teammates are wiped out.
Having thought of this, Xiao Yu already had a plan.
For his army of a thousand, Xiao Yu selected units with high survivability, such as flying wind elementals, invisible ice demons, and earthwalkers that could burrow underground.
As for the choice of bosses, Xiao Yu chose Ragnaros and Agnes.
Agnes's rank is only three-skull level, making her a second-tier boss among Xiao Yu's many subordinates. However, since survival is the priority this time, Agnes is particularly suitable because she possesses the ability to become invisible.
With the BOSS and troops selected, the match time was quickly approaching. In a flash of white light, Xiao Yu and his army were teleported to the match map.
