Chapter 1276: The Finals Rules Revealed
Holy moly!
Though the Type-Moon World isn't that big, after all these years of development, every mythology and every country has produced some incredible freaks!
Once these freaks gather together, even someone like Merlin can't be considered a freak anymore!
"No Cath Palug? Is Fou not coming? And who is Sodom?"
Eiji continued flipping through the list.
His gaze mostly stayed on the top three rows.
Even so, there were still many people in there that Eiji didn't recognize at all.
Morgan was also in the third row. Losing her throne was indeed a huge blow to her.
She was even worse off than Melusine, who had climbed to the second row. The last descendant of Albion was truly impressive—once she transformed into a dragon, her strength was absolutely formidable!
It wasn't very clear what criteria were used to divide the top three rows.
Overall strength?
It probably wasn't that simple. Factors like survivability and potential seemed to be considered as well.
Aoko's name wasn't found in the top three rows... Could it be that she hasn't arrived in Kinojo City yet? Otherwise, as a Magician, she should definitely be in the first row, right?
Just like the Wizard Marshal, Zelretch's name was clearly hanging in the first row.
Then, Eiji accidentally flipped to his own name.
"Wow, so red!"
Eiji exclaimed.
He was clearly in the first row!
There were so many monsters gathered here that even the Grands could only stay in the second and third rows. Eiji glanced over and saw that even the Divine Ancestor Romulus was only in the second row.
Among the Grands, only he, the Grand Saber candidate, made it to the first row.
So I'm one of the monsters too. Well, that's fine then!
"Everyone must be studying the watches they received, right? Actually, not only do they contain the list of participants divided into First-Class Candidates, Second-Class Candidates, and Third-Class Candidates, but they also have a tracking function. I'll leave that part for everyone to explore on their own!"
BB's voice echoed throughout the cyberspace.
Sure enough, the red names were the First-Class Candidates, the blue names were the Second-Class Candidates, and the yellow names were the Third-Class Candidates.
Among them, there were only about twenty to thirty red names, while the blue names exceeded a hundred, and the yellow names likely numbered in the hundreds.
The white names were even more numerous—tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands!
Looking up, holy moly, the total number of participants in the upper right corner was clearly marked: 365,896 people!
Among them were not only Beasts and Grands, but also a large number of Heroic Spirits, Dead Apostles, and many magicians who had their heyday, like Touko and Alice.
What was noteworthy was that this number was still slowly increasing!
So there really were some people who hadn't arrived yet, right?
After all, this Singularity had only opened to the public a few hours ago, so there must be some who hadn't made it in time.
In the time it took to say a few sentences, a new name visibly appeared in the second row.
Koyanskaya.
She had come to participate too.
"Where is the tracking function?"
But compared to that, Eiji was more concerned about the so-called tracking function BB had mentioned earlier.
Compared to the competition, he was more anxious to safely bring everyone back right now!
There were no corresponding icons anywhere, so Eiji casually tapped on a name on the screen.
Suddenly, the screen expanded, transforming into a flat plane that displayed the terrain of Kienosu City like a 3D model. A red flag was planted at a specific point, bearing the name Morgan le Fay.
Eiji's eyes lit up, and he immediately activated his Divine Footsteps.
In the next instant, he appeared on the rooftop of a tall building.
"You're here?"
Morgan was indeed standing there, a watch already strapped to her wrist.
She showed no surprise, clearly having anticipated Eiji would come looking for her.
"Cernunnos, return home first. I'll continue searching for the others!"
Eiji chanted softly, casting a teleportation spell on Morgan.
Morgan offered no resistance, obediently vanishing in a flash of white light.
While Divine Footsteps couldn't transport others, the teleportation magic learned from the Konosuba World had no such restrictions. With his current mana reserves, he could use it tens of thousands of times without exhausting his power!
"What's the point of scattering us if there's a tracking function?" Eiji grumbled internally.
He quickly pulled up the participant list, searching for the locations of Minamoto no Raikou and Okita Souji in the search bar one after another. Then, he dispatched two dream clones to teleport each of them home.
Next were Aozaki Aoko and Aozaki Touko. Since their combat abilities were relatively weaker, they received priority treatment.
What kind of madness possessed BB to think that merely separating everyone would prevent alliances from forming?
"Although everyone is probably still exploring the watch's functions, I apologize—I will now officially announce the rules for this final round. Please listen carefully!"
Hearing BB's words, Eiji paused his actions slightly, focusing his attention.
In the sky above.
BB's phantom gazed down at the city below, her eyes shifting around—though it was unclear whether she could actually see anything.
"The rule for this final round is—"
She deliberately drew out her words, capturing everyone's attention.
Then she smiled brightly.
"There are no rules!"
At that moment, another wave of people wanted to charge into the sky and pummel her.
"That's right, this match has no rules! Feel free to fight as you please. The last one standing will become Earth's UO!"
At this point, BB's expression suddenly turned malicious.
"However, there are a few key points I must remind you all."
"First, the participant list you see on your watches is constantly changing. In other words, it's a real-time updated list of remaining participants. If you die, your name will naturally disappear from the list, and the search bar will no longer be able to find you."
"Second, the current Kienosu City is much larger than the real one. This is, of course, to accommodate your abilities, and Mooncell will actively restrict participants from causing excessive damage to the cyber space—but! This Kienosu City is constantly shrinking! If you fall outside its boundaries, you will automatically be disqualified!"
"Third, and most importantly, after defeating an enemy in this cyber space, you will unconditionally obtain your opponent's blank Spirit Origin!"
What?
Eiji was momentarily stunned by this revelation.
Then, suddenly, everything clicked into place.
By defeating enemies, you can obtain their blank spiritual foundations to strengthen yourself!
This means even the weak can potentially overpower the strong by accumulating sufficiently powerful spiritual foundations!
Moreover, the wristbands they wear also have tracking functionality!
This implies you can never escape from enemy pursuit – you must engage in decisive battles to the death!
Coupled with the constantly shrinking Kinojo City—
"This is goddamn battle royale gameplay!"
