Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

Put aside all the complexity and formalities, and abandon all the restlessness and cheers.

"--Ding!"

The bell symbolizing the start of the finals was rung by the leader of the country representing the host country.

Yu Man took a deep breath of the air in the stadium. It was pure and distinct, composed only of victory and struggle, with an extra bit of conspiracy floating in someone's heart.

As a representative, Yu Man stood on the stage.

The woman opposite her is the coach of the BMS team, and also the deity who rules over the "Land of the Branded Past", "Gambler" Italia.

"Heads? Or tails?" asked Italia.

"You guess first, it doesn't matter." Yu Man stared into her eyes.

"Then I'll choose tails, and heads will be yours."

"Row."

After a brief exchange, the old world gold coin was thrown into the sky, tumbling in the eyes of the world under the focus of many cameras.

Then--

The sacred coin toss announced the outcome.

"The other side."

The initiative in BP was taken away by Italia's BMS team.

This was quite disadvantageous - on the commentary desk, those guys who didn't know what they were talking about were mumbling their analysis in a high-pitched and passionate voice, so loud that even the players could hear it.

But Yu Man was not anxious.

Italia said seriously: "Since I have the initiative, I will give it my all."

"casual."

Italia actually has very few cards to play.

Although she has collected the images of countless losers throughout history, there are many rare strong men, rare gods, or various monsters.

If anything, after winning the Summer Split, "Ni Fu Wan Wu" wasn't exactly top-tier in terms of strength, given the unlimited power. It was roughly tier nine, still a bit shy of the tenth tier that would require a qualitative leap.

However, if placed in an arena where there is sufficient suppression to maintain fairness in the competition, "Going Against Everything" becomes the ace of aces.

Even in Italia's collection, there are few that can compare with it.

What's more, not all of these collections are allowed to be released.

In other words, her team is a single-core team that relies solely on "Go Against Everything", and the other brands are just there to make up the numbers. Although their strength far exceeds that of ordinary professional players, it is only at the level of Liutong Qihua.

Therefore, if you choose 5V5 or 2V2 as the first-hand competition system——

Facing the full strength of Man and Shi Guang, they would most likely be defeated.

Italia naturally chose 1V1.

The first show was the audience’s favorite King vs. King. The intense cheers were like rising sea levels, shocking the earth.

If the future of those who had cleared the level could be shattered here, although it would be of no benefit to Italia, not to mention that she would no longer be able to see the shining figure of "Blowing Back All Things"... but it might make her demystify the world of competition and no longer be so obsessed with the figure of "Blowing Back All Things".

Quitting a toxic, unrewarding hobby—that wouldn't be bad either.

That’s all Italia thought.

And opposite her——

"Let me do it." Yu Man did not take a seat, but just looked at them.

No one had any objections, it was more like they all had a vague feeling about something.

Time's eyes tinged with worry, for she had a feeling this guy would cause some serious trouble, putting her in a difficult position. After all, she held the title of Game Master... but she didn't want to spoil the fun.

Therefore, only Xiaolu spoke to Yu Man.

"Do we have a chance of winning? The opponent will definitely use that heavy swordsman... It's hard for a magician to defeat that."

"Just like when you first started playing the game, we talked about a lot of things. Things like the mysterious little room of the Blood Mage Overlord, the Necromancer's ship, my Mage Tower, and so on... For a mage, home turf is very important, Xiaolu."

"That?"

Yu Man raised his thumb over his shoulder and tilted it back: "I have made this my home ground."

The same calmness as always made Xiaolu feel infinitely at ease.

But Yu Man couldn't take care of everything, for example——

"Bird Old Five, I'll leave that to you."

"Wait… which one?"

"That's it."

Which one is it?

Before Shi Guang could ask, feeling flustered, she saw Yu Man raise her hand and enter the arena to thunderous cheers and courtship. Next, she would perform a BP with Senior Cat, engaging in a fierce battle of wits and courage.

soon--

"Time" will tell what Yu Man is talking about.

……

"Cat Laoliu, everything is as you said."

Yu Man had a small piece of paper in her hand, which contained some tips for dealing with cat seniors that Cat Senior had summarized.

Which skills are easy for her to use and which skills are difficult to use.

Various complex thoughts fueled the flames, causing Yu Manban to use several strange skills.

And she single-handedly chose the most important skill for herself——

Tears of Searching and Recording

This teardrop, originally obtained through special sacrifice, contains a very important skill.

As long as I can get it, nothing else matters.

Anyway, soul weapon skills, basic professional skills, and adventurer professional skills are all default and do not need to be reported, disabled, or selected.

From this perspective, the "Tears of Search and Recording" thing is really cheating in professional competitions. You can flexibly deploy the skills it records, or simply not record them and improvise on the field.

Unfortunately, the last time I fought the "Fictional Truth", the enemy was too powerful, and this thing was overloaded and some cracks appeared. I don't know when it will break...

The opponent had gone to great lengths to ban a skill from every combat build Yu Man could come up with, making every playstyle less comfortable. Honestly, this was quite effective.

But Yu Man was sure that the other party would feel even worse.

Some time passed, and both sides revealed their cards.

Then--

Debut.

He escaped from the weakness of his real body and returned to the man holding the book with surging magical power.

Yu Man stepped into the arena and quietly looked at the opponent who also entered the arena.

A swordsman.

I can't see the face or the figure clearly.

She was as ethereal as the smoke exhaled by a smoker, so faint that only the heavy sword remained.

These are the shadows that are imprinted on the glorious path of those who pass the level.

"Senior Cat, the pressure is really strong—" Yu Man felt creepy, but more confident. "I think the other party must feel the same way."

The map beneath their feet is called "Dry Land".

The drought is running through the land in the form of cracks, without even a drop of water.

The withered sunlight poured down, leaving no shadows on the dry land—except for their figures.

This is a terrible map for Ice Mages.

But for swordsmen, this is a map where they can run wild.

"——Boom!"

The war drum was sounded, replacing the bell of war, announcing that the heavy final would be different from the past.

Then--

"Hello, Undead—let's make this a quick fight."

The holy book in Yu Man's hand was opened and stopped at one of the pages.

It is not only a reward for those who complete the game, but also a favor from the "Three Secrets".

Yu Man does not hesitate to use its power.

“Retaining time.”

Towards the place where we had agreed long ago, towards yesterday, the day before yesterday - and the past.

Time is here, obeying the magician's will -

Ask forward.

The unprecedented huge shock shook the entire venue and even the entire city like an earthquake.

Startled birds, schools of fish around the pier, waves, leaves... and the spectators.

Unprecedented terror descended upon the real world, deeply captivating everyone's heart and soul.

But that was just Yu Man's will.

"Let's fulfill our promise." Yu Man declared.

offstage.

"--This naughty child...gives me a headache." "Time" realized what was going to happen and pressed his forehead in distress.

She didn't have the energy to weave any more words. She was just like a mother who bought expensive cosmetics but didn't have time to use them, and came home from get off work to find that her children had taken them to do chemistry experiments and mixed them with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Yu Man is summoning the gods - to be precise, the old gods in the withered world.

An existence known as the reflection of the old world.

At first, the first person willing to come here appeared amidst a slurry of blood. He pushed open the door made of bone fragments, teeth, and flesh, and stepped into the venue with his flawless figure.

Epitaph, the old god in charge of eulogies.

"'Going against all things'...it is indeed me."

"No, it looks like a mid-stage version, before it truly wreaks havoc... This is actually quite valuable, and well worth the trip."

The second one came with the sunset.

He is said to be an old god, but he is actually a brand new god.

Its name is "All Day Ends Here," and it does not control anything.

He is the embodiment of the changing colors of the sunset and the length of the afterglow, and is the world's instinct that watches over the boundary between the sun and the moon.

It has a very important background and is very mysterious.

If the "God of All Things" had not tried to separate day and night with his sword, He would not have been born.

There was a third person who accepted Yu Man’s invitation.

Its name is - "Ten Colors".

A vibrant old god of color transitions.

Without Him, every color would be eternal and fixed, and without Him to mix colors, the world would be monotonous and colorless.

An extremely important old god, he is also the instinct of the world, even close to the fundamental principles of all things.

If Yu Man hadn't needed to operate in secrecy and wasn't limited by time, several other powerful individuals would have been willing to respond to Yu Man's invitation. Regardless, these three were all renowned and powerful beings, curious individuals drawn to the "Reverse All Things" event.

They accompanied Yu Man, quietly showing curiosity and hostility towards the stigma of "going against all things".

“What a vivid world.”

"I'm very happy to be able to help "Reverse All Things" erase the defeat in a place like this."
