With godlike talent from the start, how did he become invincible?

Chapter 454 Double-Edged Battlefield

"Then it's settled. After the second round starts, we'll go in first, find a place to hide, and then wait—wait for Sato Kenichi and his gang to cause trouble for Lin Tian, ​​wait for them to start fighting, wait for them to be exhausted—"

He put down his glass and clenched his fist.

"Then, we go in. We'll wipe them all out."

Catherine licked her lips, her eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light.

"I can't wait any longer. Once we take down Lin Tian, ​​the entire newbie continent will know the name of our 'Imperial Bulwark'."

Jack scratched his head and asked, "Boss, what if Sato Kenichi's gang doesn't find Lin Tian? Or what if they find him but a fight doesn't break out?"

Marcus glanced at him.

"Then let's keep waiting. Eventually, someone will give in."

He stood up, walked to the window, and opened it.

Outside, the night wind from Iron Curtain City blew in, carrying a hint of coolness.

In the distance, the teleportation plaza was brightly lit, with countless players preparing for the upcoming second round of the Multiverse Conquest.

"Friends," Marcus said, his back to the crowd, his voice deep and powerful, "this is our chance to make a name for ourselves. Kill Lin Tian, ​​kill Sato Kenichi, and the entire Newbie Continent will know our names."

He turned around, his blue eyes burning with ambition.

"I, Marcus DuPont, will become the strongest player in this game. And the 'Imperial Bulwark' behind me will become the strongest guild."

Catherine stood up and walked to his side.

"We've been following you, Marcus."

Jack stood up too: "Boss, whatever you say, we'll do it!"

Isabella and Roderick also stood up, silently showing their support.

Vincent remained in the shadows, but the slight upturn of his lips spoke volumes about his attitude.

Marcus looked at them and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good. Then everyone go back and prepare. Check your equipment, replenish your potions, and adjust your condition. The second round of the Multiverse Battle will begin in one hour."

He paused, his tone becoming serious.

"Remember, our goal is to win. Not just win one battle, but win in the end. So no matter what happens, stay calm and stick to the plan."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Catherine put away her whip and was the first to walk out.

"I'll go back and check my potions. This time I brought plenty of poison and healing potions; I'll make sure they have a good time."

Jack followed behind, grinning sheepishly. "I'm going to check the shields. The boss said I have to be at the front; I can't let him down."

Isabella and Roderick left together, discussing something as they walked.

Vincent was the last to reach the door, but suddenly stopped and turned to look at Marcus.

"Marcus, if Lin Tian is really as strong as the legends say, then we..."

Marcus raised his hand to interrupt him.

"I know what you're trying to say. If he's really that strong, we should at least make him remember our names."

He smiled, a smile tinged with madness.

"That's how games are played, isn't it?"

Vincent nodded and turned to leave.

Marcus was the only one left in the room.

He stood by the window, looking at the night outside, and the smile on his lips gradually faded.

"Lin Tian..." he murmured, "Let me see just how strong you really are."

In the distance, the lights on the teleportation plaza remained bright.

The second round of the Battle of the Myriad Realms will begin in an hour.

......

A familiar feeling of dizziness washed over me.

When Lin Tian opened his eyes, the scene before him had completely changed.

It was no longer that secluded courtyard in Star Moon City, but a gray sky with low, oppressive clouds that seemed ready to press down at any moment.

A faint smell of blood and an indescribable sense of anxiety filled the air.

Beneath our feet was solid rocky ground, and as far as the eye could see, there was a desolate Gobi desert.

Scattered withered grass trembled in the wind, and a few low hills could be vaguely seen in the distance.

【Ding! 】

The system notification sounded simultaneously deep within the consciousness of all players.

Welcome to the second round of the Battle for Interdimensional Supremacy – the Dual-Edged Battlefield!

【Rules Explanation:】

1. All players will be randomly assigned to one of two separate regions—the East and the West.

2. Each area develops independently. Players within the same area can attack each other, and kills earn regular points.

3. Every 24 hours, the two realms will enter an "overlapping period" lasting 30 minutes. During this period, the border between the East and West realms will be open, allowing players from different areas to attack each other. Killing each other will earn double points, and there is a chance to obtain the opponent's equipment or items.

[4. During the overlap, a "Merged Monster" will spawn at the boundary between the two domains. The player who kills it will grant all players in the area a buff to all attributes for 10 minutes.]

【5. 比赛持续72小时（3个重叠期）。最终根据总积分排名，筛选前100，000名晋级下一轮。】

Wishing you all the best!

The moment the system notification sounded, the world chat exploded.

World Channel

[Zhang Ming]: "Holy crap! Only 100,000 people were selected in the end?!"

[Li Ting]: "Double points! Equipment drops! This is practically encouraging us to fight to the death!"

[Wang Hao]: "There's a 24-hour overlap period, meaning there are three opportunities for a free-for-all!"

[Liu Yang]: "What's this 'fusion monster' thing? It sounds really awesome!"

[Zhao Xue]: "Who cares what kind of monster it is, as long as it provides buffs!"

[Chen Lei]: "Brothers, I'm in the Eastern Territory! Anyone else in the Eastern Territory? Let's team up!"

[Zhou Mei]: "I'm in the Western Region... Is there any experienced player who can help me? I'm only level 26..."

[Zheng Shuang]: "Level 26 got into the second round?! How lucky were you in the first round?"

[Zhou Mei]: "I don't know either, I just survived to the end and advanced..."

[Wu Di]: "Envy, jealousy, and hatred! I got tricked and killed by Lao Liu in the first round, now I can only watch you guys play!"

[Wang Lei]: "Stop talking, stop talking, hurry up and develop your character! The war starts in 24 hours!"

Lin Tian stood on the Gobi Desert in the eastern border and casually glanced around.

Several players nearby were watching him warily.

When they saw Lin Tian's gaze sweep over them, those people immediately looked away, pretending to be observing their surroundings.

Lin Tian ignored them.

He opened the attribute panel and glanced at his level.

Looking around at the other players, most of them were between level 25 and 28, with a few around level 30 who looked like elites from some guild.

This is the threshold for the second round.

The first round eliminated 90% of the people, leaving 100,000 people who are indeed elites.

But the so-called "elites" are still just... in his eyes.
