Doomsday Roulette

Chapter 1684: "Backed Down" 😔

Published: February 12, 2025

Ye Zhongming used an exemption card.

In this round, his battle team could not use any cards and would not be affected by any cards from other teams.

Many times, how a sentence is understood depends on the listener's perspective.

The introduction of the exemption card stated that it grants complete immunity in the current round, prohibiting the use of any cards or interference from other forces' cards.

However, the rules did not specify whether a card could still be activated if it had been used before this round.

In Ye Zhongming's view, it was still possible.

Thus, he used it, and the facts proved that cards could indeed be activated.

Now, Cloud Summit's actions had ended; in this round, which was the first round, they could not do anything else.

Everyone, after their moment of shock, understood why Cloud Summit acted this way.

They used the exemption card solely to prevent Jannadrah from using cards to save himself!

Let’s not forget that Jannadrah had obtained an occupation card for reaching the center position first!

Ye Zhongming chose a powerful Guardian Beast and upgraded it to the highest level. What was the purpose? He wanted to eliminate Jannadrah on that Bright Star.

Even if he couldn’t eliminate him, he wanted to seriously wound him, ensuring that in the next nine rounds, he would either perish or withdraw from the competition.

With one exemption card, Jannadrah was rendered incapable of making any response and could only obediently fight against this monster.

On the Bright Star, Jannadrah's face turned green.

He was cursing this detestable roulette space in his heart!

Why was there a Guardian Beast on this Bright Star if it could be repurchased?! Although Jannadrah was strong, after repeatedly facing setbacks against Ye Zhongming in the West Asia Zone and the National Zone, he had been trying to fortify himself, hoping to catch up with that man.

Previously, he thought he had succeeded; even now, he still believed he had managed it. Yet, he was still suffering setbacks.

Jannadrah indeed used his profession and, at a great cost, anticipated some situations.

Based on these situations, he formed a rough plan. If nothing unexpected occurred, he could indeed secure the Mountain King Crown firmly.

But who could have anticipated that Cloud Summit Villa would suddenly turn against him?

For such a small number of Bright Stars, the goal was to let others fight to the death. Why did Cloud Summit focus on him?

Jannadrah naturally had no idea how much the Evil Neighbor Card impacted Ye Zhongming, still thinking Ye Zhongming was insane.

Even if he had learned some news ahead of time, it only gave him a slight edge. It couldn't change the rules of the roulette space.

At this moment, everyone looking at Jannadrah felt sympathy, at least on the surface, because this monster was having a hard time.

No one was confident they could defeat him. Many estimated that he was likely a ninth-level battle beast.

Jannadrah took a deep breath and looked towards Ye Zhongming on the Bright Star.

"Even if you take me down, you still have closer enemies, Ye Zhongming. I must say, sometimes you are too subjective and overconfident. Everything you are doing now will become the beginning and root of your failure."

Perhaps because the new Guardian Beast needed a bit of preparation time, Jannadrah still had the chance to say something to Ye Zhongming.

He couldn’t challenge Cloud Summit now, but Jannadrah felt he couldn’t let him go easily. He wanted to leave a seed in Ye Zhongming’s heart; if not, then in others' hearts!

"No matter the situation, you won't see it."

Ye Zhongming’s mindset was not affected by his words; a calm response floated back, letting Jannadrah know that this person would not be swayed.

"That's fine. I just think, if I can't see it, then you shouldn't let others see it either. I just wonder what cards you have prepared for them?"

"At this moment, saying that seems a bit undignified."

Ye Zhongming frowned slightly, feeling that the West Asia Saint's direct provocation was a bit low-level.
