Near dusk on May 1, the time finally came to the finals. The audience sitting in the front row were cheering and even wanted to break through the invisible wall separating the audience seats and the stadium. Almost no one could help but feel excited about this seemingly fateful decisive battle.
"Anson Lu, I knew my opponent in the finals would be you."
Cosimo stared at Anson Deer with his blue eyes and spoke slowly.
"You're really cruel, Cyberboy. You even ran over your own brother?"
Anson Deer smiled at him unhappily.
"It's just you. I must win."
"That's enough. We are not enemies. Don't use me as a role model or a goal. It would be better to learn from your brother's calm temperament."
[The finals are about to begin. We will introduce the players from both sides. These two players are Cosimo and Anson Deer, who are currently tied for first place in the world's combat power rankings. Their sequences are "Cyber Assault" and "Old Chess Player" respectively! ! ! ]
[If the title of world number one cannot be tied for one person and can only be held by one person, then this epic battle will determine who is the world's number one player!!!]
[The final will begin in one minute. All eliminated players can place bets on this battle, and the stakes are of course the evolution coins in your hands——!!! If you have confidence in one of the two, please don’t miss this opportunity and place your bet immediately.]
"The bets have been placed, but why is the system helping to breed gamblers?" Anson Lu was stunned. "By the way, what will the odds be between us?"
"There must be more people supporting you, right?"
"No, no, no, you are the future star of the law enforcement team. I just got rid of my status as a wanted criminal. How can I compare with you?"
After Anson Lu's unscrupulous speech, the whole audience burst into laughter. Billions of laughs filled the football field, and the atmosphere in the entire audience suddenly became lively.
He shrugged his shoulders, then he remembered that he couldn't talk nonsense in this shabby place. However, after so many months, he didn't care much about other people's opinions.
Thinking back to the chess game at Shangshi High School, when that group of classmates were leaning against the window, Anson Lu felt as if their gazes were like a swarm of insects crawling on him, making him feel uncomfortable all over. Now, in this football stadium that is so wide that it seems it can swallow nearly a hundred million people, if he still compares the gazes cast at him to insects crawling on his body, then he has probably been eaten by the insects until not even a bone is left.
"Without you, I would not be able to stand here." Cosimo said deeply, "Thank you for saving my brother."
"So, find a chance to repay me, Cosimo." Ansem Deer put his hands in his pockets, lowered his eyelids, and said after a moment of silence: "Help me kill that dragon. I can't lose, and I won't allow myself to lose."
"For that Icelandic girl?"
"Well..." Anson Lu smiled self-deprecatingly, "Also, for all the people who died in this absurd game, and for all those who are still struggling for the future."
Having said this, the chess field, as surging as the ocean tide, unfolds outward.
Anson Lu unfolded a giant chessboard and immediately summoned the Ten Thousand Riders Statue. A magnificent and oppressive giant shadow suddenly appeared in front of him. The Ten Thousand Riders Statue was wearing holy armor and holding a huge shining sword. Its body seemed even larger with the blessing of the giant chessboard, reaching a height of 15 meters.
He then ordered: "Little V, Gray Phantom, Jellyfish in the Tank, Black Swan, Santa Claus, Christmas Sleigh, Natasha, and Different Dimension Kangaroo, come to me."
The next moment, a sleigh flew across the sky, carrying Little V, the gray phantom, the fish tank, an ordinary-looking black swan, and Santa Claus.
As for Natasha and the alien kangaroo, they stood on Anson's left and back, protecting him like his sword and shield.
A sled carrying many strange creatures, an imposing woman with purple eyes, kangaroos rubbing their hands ready to fight, and a magnificent stone statue that is fifteen meters high. It seems that Anson Deer is surrounded by an army, and nothing can cover their pressure.
After being promoted to a fourth-level old-time chess player, Anson Lu can have twenty chess pieces on the field at the same time. Now it is no problem to summon multiple chess pieces at the same time.
On the other side, Cosimo was not to be outdone. He covered his body layer by layer with cyber armor. In just two seconds, these metal parts piled up into a giant shadow that was ten meters high.
But Cosimo did not stop there. He took out a mecha form that no audience had ever seen before. The body of the cyber mecha was once again covered with layers of overlapping cold scales, and its head was gradually covered with a dragon-like helmet. This form was like "dragon's biological parts" were embedded in the outer layer of the mecha. The whole mecha seemed to come alive, full of surging vitality, and its deep blue eyes bloomed with a strange light.
"Biological chimera - dragon." Cosimo read slowly.
At this moment, this metal giant covered with dragon scales was breathing slowly, and its wild and terrifying vitality swept across the entire arena.
Not only that, after Cosimo's mecha was covered with dragon-like biological parts, its volume expanded further, and in an instant it was already fourteen meters high. The height difference between it and the giant Ten Thousand Knights Statue was only one meter, which was not worth mentioning.
At the same time, light wings slowly spread out from behind the cyber mech, and six floating lightsabers and six floating turrets surrounded it, faithfully guarding its body.
It stretched out its huge mechanical hands, each holding a lightsaber floating in the air. At the same time, the light wings behind it vibrated violently, and it rushed towards the Ten Thousand Riders Statue with a heavy dragon roar.
On the other side, in a parallel world, the world championship finals are taking place.
"How boring! It's over like this..."
Ansenlu raised her eyes and watched the opponent in front of her being crushed into a bloody mist.
Then, she put away the chess field, and the three magnificent shadows in the sky slowly disappeared, and her three Black Moon-level chess pieces returned to the chess library.
[The winner of the finals is——Ansen Lu!!! This world championship is almost coming to an end. The "former chess player" Ansen Lu has almost crushed the world's number one player. She is the most powerful person in the world!!!]
The whole place was dead silent. Among the nearly tens of millions of people present, no one dared to speak, and no one cheered for her. Only murmurs filled with resentment and fear could be heard.
In an instant, a huge gate of light suddenly appeared in front of Anson Lu, and the gate of light slowly opened to both sides.
"Door?" An Senlu frowned.
[As the strongest person in the parallel world, you have been invited to the main world for an exhibition match. This will be the last match of the World Championship. You can choose whether to take this last ticket or stop here. The World Championship ends here.]
Ansenlu hesitated for a second and stepped into the light gate. Her body was swallowed up and disappeared from this world.
"Gone?"
"Where's the killer?"
"Where did she go?"
The next moment, nearly a hundred huge LED screens on the scene displayed a scene from another world, and all the audience fell into deep shock.
Anson Deer took a deep breath and raised his head. His brown eyes reflected the cyber mech that was slowly collapsing to the ground.
At this moment, the Ten Thousand Riders Statue was half-kneeling on the ground, with thousands of cracks from the helmet to the feet, and it was roaring in a low voice; the broken Christmas sleigh fell from the sky and smashed into the ground, breaking into red sawdust, and the reindeer's bodies were covered with tragic bloodstains. They were dying and gradually closed their smart eyes; the fragments of the fish tank were randomly inserted into the ground, and the lighthouse that was almost shattered into dust was still scattered in a corner of the football field.
As for the other chess pieces, they had already been crushed by the cyber mechs. Only Natasha was still standing directly behind the cyber mechs, holding her bloody arms.
A blond boy with blue eyes slowly emerged from the mecha. A dagger was stuck in his chest, and blood stained his law enforcement uniform.
There was still blood at the corners of Cosimo's mouth, but it kept rising.
"As expected of you, Anson Deer. I am the loser."
Anson sat down on the lawn weakly and spoke unhappily to the half-dead Cosimo.
"Stop talking nonsense, little cyber boy, and die now."
Although he said it in a casual manner, there was still an indelible shock in his heart. Although Ansenglu knew how strong Cosimo was now, he did not expect him to be so strong.
If Natasha had not broken into the mecha at the last moment and killed Cosimo with a dagger, the outcome of this battle would have been uncertain.
Cosimo fell on the grass in a big letter shape, slowly closed his eyes, and his body and cybernetic mecha turned into dark blue spots of light and dissipated.
"This little brat has really become a lot stronger..." Anson Deer said deeply.
[The winner of the finals is——Anson Lu!!! This world championship is almost over. The "former chess player" Anson Lu showed great resilience in a desperate situation and won the title of "World's No. 1 Player" with a narrow victory. He is the most powerful person in the world!!!]
As the system prompt sounded, the outcome was announced and there was no longer any suspense in this final.
The audience who were still in shock and confusion finally reacted.
There was a moment of silence at the scene, and then a deafening cheer broke out. Tens of millions of spectators were cheering for the final winner. Some were shouting hysterically, some were flushed in the face, and the entire stadium was almost drowned out by cheers and shouts that were enough to echo for tens of thousands of kilometers.
Their voices were almost roaring. This was a moment of the century, the final battle before the arrival of the white dragon, a battle to decide who would be the leader of mankind.
"Anson deer! Anson deer! Anson deer! Anson deer-!!!"
Anson Lu was calm and composed, sitting on the grass of the football field with a smile on his face. The brief relaxation after his tense nerves made him feel weak all over.
He raised his head and looked at the clear sky with tired eyes. The face of the white-haired girl seemed to come into view.
"Let's finish this quickly. I want to go back to sleep." He murmured.
But at this moment, the minor injuries on Anson Deer's body slowly healed, the chess pieces that had died in the previous battle appeared again in his chess library, and even the lawn that had been trampled to the point of being unbearable to look at had returned to its original state.
"No way?" Anson Deer tilted his head.
Super intuitive, told him something very interesting.
[The player has been restored to full status, and the strongest person of the same period from the parallel world is about to arrive. ]
[The exhibition match is about to begin. As the final match of the World Championship, this exhibition match will not affect the final settlement of the instance. Please feel free to perform and present a wonderful closing performance for the audience.]
Anson Lu couldn't help but laugh, "Is this true? Is that female devil going to travel through time and space and chop me up?"
In an instant, a light gate suddenly appeared in the center of the football field, and a cold figure slowly walked out of it, with the skirt of her school uniform swaying coldly in the wind.
Under the gazes of billions of people, she raised her dark brown eyes, looked at the Anson deer sitting on the lawn, frowned slightly, and asked:
"Why are you so embarrassed?"
"Come on, my opponent is definitely stronger than you. Didn't you kill all the sequence players on your side a long time ago? Who else can fight you at this point?"
Ansen Lu frowned and said coldly: "Get up, don't make me say it a second time, I don't want my opponent to lie on the lawn and wait to die."
"Who told you I'm waiting to die? But I can't seem to beat you." Anson Lu teased, and slowly stood up from the lawn.
"Before the fight begins, I have something to give you."
"What?"
Ansen Lu opened his bag, dragged the two "Death Church Chess Crafting Scrolls" inside to the trading panel, and then initiated a trade request to Ansen Lu.
Ansenlu hugged her shoulders, hesitated for two seconds, and tapped the panel with her slender fingers.
The panel showed two crafting scrolls sent by Anson Lu - the first was a Black Moon-level chess piece: [The Seventh Demon Pillar of the Church of Death - Kallen Mithras]; the second was an End-level chess piece: [The First Demon Pillar of the Church of Death - Nash Wangyan].
It was fine when he saw the first crafting scroll, but when his eyes fell on the second crafting scroll, a hint of surprise flashed across Anson Lu's brown eyes.
"Where did it come from?"
"I got them, but I can't use them because the Twilight Gods chess set is incompatible with the Death Church chess set." Anson Lu said, "To be honest, when I got the First Demon God's forging scroll, I almost wanted to change my mind and just play the Death Church chess set, but then I thought I'd better just finish the Twilight Gods chess set."
"So, just give it to me..."
"Yes, I give it to you." Anson Lu said nonchalantly, "Just think of it as a farewell gift. Anyway, you are already a dead idiot."
"Heh..." An Senlu sneered and said slowly, "Are you so sure that I'm done?"
"Of course, look who's standing behind me." Anson Lu shrugged slightly, raised his thumb and pointed to the row of seats closest to the football field.
There were many familiar faces sitting on it. Cosimo, who had just been eliminated, was also sitting on the chair, staring at Anson Deer with an unhappy look on his face.
Ansen Lu slowly turned her head and looked in the direction where Ansen Lu's finger was pointing. In her memory, all the sequence players sitting in the audience had already died at her feet.
"I don't know what's going on, but come on, you big idiot! You can't lose to others right after I win!" The little cyber brat shouted with resentment.
The entire audience erupted in laughter, and countless people's eyes were focused on Anson Lu. They gradually figured out the situation: Anson Lu was the strongest player from a parallel world, and this was the closing performance of the World Championships, so just having fun was enough.
However, almost everyone hopes that the strongest player in their world will win.
Anson Deer scratched his head helplessly: "Got it, Cyber brat."
"What?! Who are you calling a cyber brat!" Cosimo narrowed his eyes.
Lorenzo, who was sitting next to him, sighed: "Cosimo, try to pay attention to your image on this occasion."
"I'm really pissed off. I was so close to beating Anson Deer. I've never beaten him once." Cosimo was about to explode.
Uesugi Asuka held her chin and said calmly: "It's okay, just scold Anson Lu harshly, if anything happens, I will protect you."
"Who are you?" Cosimo said angrily, "to call yourself my sister?"
"Huh? What did you say, you little cyber-brat!"
"Haha..." Jiang Yijie laughed twice, "Alright, all of you calm down. This is a strange occasion. The whole world is watching us."
Lan Xiao pulled his cap down, took a deep breath and said, "It's time to restrain yourself. If you continue to insult my president, I will be angry."
Chu Qimo put down his sword bag and said calmly, "Don't worry, Miss Lan Xiao, the president is thicker-skinned than you think."
Urushihara Ritsu smiled slightly and asked William and Yuliu beside him: "You two, do you think Lu Jun will win?"
"That's hard to say." William was interested. "After all, that lady doesn't look like a pushover. She has a very scary aura."
"Nonsense, he will definitely win. I've never seen him lose." Yuliu said impatiently, resting his elbow on the seat handle and his fist against his cheek.
Ansen Lu slowly retracted her gaze, moved her eyes away, and sighed softly: "It's so noisy, do you deal with these people every day?"
"What else?" Anson Lu curled his lips.
"I'll accept your things, and this is to thank you." Ansen Lu accepted the two crafting scrolls from Ansen Lu, and then initiated a trade request with him.
Ansen Lu looked carefully and found that Ansen Lu also sent two chess crafting scrolls, but the two chess types belonged to the Dusk Gods chess set, and both were Black Moon level.
He accepted the crafting scroll and said with satisfaction: "Thank you, I just need these things."
"Ansen Lu." Ansen Lu suddenly called him.
"What?"
"Will we meet again? After today..." she asked.
"Perhaps not."
"Okay." Ansen Lu lowered her eyelids for a long time, her long black hair fluttering in the wind, "Then let's... start the war."
"Well, it's a fight to the death."
An Senlu slowly raised her head: "Chess Domain."
Anson Deer said the same words: "Chess Domain."
The next moment, two chess fields, covering an area of nearly 200 meters in radius, suddenly expanded outward from the feet of the two men, spreading out with unstoppable force and overlapping each other.
The brown-eyed boy and girl looked at each other, with black, red, and golden chess shadows floating around their shoulders. The two figures were almost drowned out by the millions of cheers and shouts at the scene, but it seemed that they only had each other in their eyes.
