Chapter 1297
Woven through the main events were brutal pop quizzes testing surgical precision, algorithmic logic, clinical response times, and neural network calculations.
It was a relentless barrage of sadistically difficult academic trials.
The rules for each round were so convoluted they left most participants dizzy. It was painfully obvious that the organizers designed this high-pressure format to trap the international competitors in a rigged game.
However.
What was supposed to be a fierce, nail-biting battle between the world’s greatest minds was completely derailed.
Serena single-handedly turned the prestigious tournament into a one-sided slaughter.
She was a god walking among mortals, playing a game she had already mastered.
While the top geniuses from other nations were tearing their hair out over walls of encrypted data, their eyes bloodshot as they struggled to find even a starting point p>
The girl representing Elyndor typed out her final equation with an air of absolute boredom.
She hit submit, stood up, and walked out.
The entire process took less than ten minutes.
While others were trapped inside the Holographic Breach Protocol, frantically trying to navigate laser grids and deciphering endless false exits p>
Serena effortlessly found the true exit and even took the time to expose the hidden backdoor flaws the organizers had built into the system.
While others suffered through the Cryospheric Survival Simulation, shivering as they tried to isolate toxin samples and synthesize cures from a pile of raw materials p>
Serena had already mapped out the optimal chemical formula and the complete pathological chain.
The warning lights in the arena shifted from red to green.
The massive holographic display broadcasted the system alert:
[Elyndorian Representative Serena Lancaster: Finished Early. Perfect Score p>
Once.
Twice.
Three times p>
The live audience and the international judging panel were completely paralyzed. There were only two recurring scenes in the arena.
The first was the agonizing mental breakdown of the foreign competitors as they doubted their own sanity.
The second was Serena Lancaster effortlessly crushing every obstacle with a blank, indifferent expression.
There were moments when the international judges and elite university professors stared at her submitted answers in total, breathless silence.
Their initial shock slowly morphed into numbness, and finally, into quiet resignation.
If they could excuse the first two
rounds as Elyndor having a luckmet
streak or Serena being a prodigy, the third fourth and fifth rounds shattered that illusion.
Everyone finally understood.
They were not competing in the same universe.
The Elyndorian Captain was lightyears beyond “excellent p>
She possessed a terrifying intellect that represented a zenith none of them could ever hope to reach.
But the most devastating part wasn’t just Serena’s solo domination.
It was the fact that she wasn’t destroying the competition alone.
Fueled by her relentless momentum, the rest of the Elyndor delegation fought like they had been injected with pure adrenaline. They shattered their own limits.
Caleb Sommers and Lydia Brooks, who had been personally trained by her, stepped onto the stage with a ruthless fire in their eyes, ready to conquer the arena alongside their. captain.
They tore through the obstacles, an unstoppable force.
At the end of every round, the massive global leaderboard refreshed, and Elyndor
committed an absolute massacre.
First Place: Elyndor, Serena Lancaster.
Second Place: Elyndor, Caleb Sommers.
Third Place: Elyndor, Lydia Brooks.
From first place down to the thirtieth.
The towering screen was painted entirely with the Elyndorian flag.
A complete and utter monopoly.
