When a person is in despair, it is not surprising to see them commit acts that are unorthodox or absurd, because these two words can hardly describe the situation. Perhaps only the simple and intense word "madness" can fully reflect the human emotions at that moment.
This is exactly how jannadrah feels right now.
In hindsight, Ye Zhongming was initially unclear about why this West Asia Saint chose to act in such a way. However, after gradually hearing some rumors about him, he could make some guesses.
This is a very ordinary situation, yet it happens almost every moment.
jannadrah encountered a bottleneck in his development in West Asia.
To move forward, he needed the nine-star level, but the resources in his hands were not as abundant as those of another Overlord in West Asia.
People, money, materials, equipment... everything was lacking; the lead to the nine-star level had already been lost.
This was one of the reasons that prompted him to come to East Asia in search of opportunities.
At first, he thought it would be an easily obtainable chance.
But reality dealt him a heavy blow.
He didn’t earn any extra money, and when he returned, he found that the situation had drastically changed. His influence in West Asia not only failed to expand but further diminished, leaving him with little confidence to compete with another giant.
After an experienced advisor liquidated assets to form the current team, jannadrah came here with a desperate mindset to compete for the Mountain King Crown.
He hoped to use this as a stepping stone to return to his peak.
However, the situation had reached a point that once again disappointed jannadrah, even to the point of hopelessness.
He began to deeply doubt his profession.
He clearly predicted certain outcomes, and without needing to fight desperately against forces like Cloud Summit Villa, he should have used his foresight to achieve victory, even if it was not easy.
But why had things turned out this way? Almost half the rounds had passed, he had used precious cards that were hard to come by, yet the results showed that his Bright Star count was dwindling while the leading players remained stable.
Having lost this round, regardless of whether he could exit, he likely would be left isolated.
Having lost his own battle squad in the apocalypse means losing the chance to stand at the pinnacle of the world!
For someone like jannadrah, who was used to being on top, this was simply unbearable.
Despair slowly crawled into his heart, first reddening his eyes, then freezing his heart, and finally... driving him to madness.
"jannadrah uses the Super Misfortune Card; Cloud Summit Villa, Mechanical Genius, and Great America are selected as targets."
"In the next three rounds, the targets cannot use any cards and will randomly incur a negative status."
"jannadrah uses the Destruction Card; in each round, the Destruction Thunder will randomly attack the Bright Stars and the lives on them. If the Guardian Beasts or forces on the Bright Stars cannot withstand the Destruction Thunder, the Bright Stars will be destroyed."
"jannadrah uses the Little King Card; the card's attribute is — Overclock Card! Its effect is to enhance the effect of a certain card and generate random additional abilities."
"jannadrah targets the Destruction Card with the Overclock Card, increasing the intensity of the Destruction Thunder attack on the Bright Stars by fifty percent, and applying the unenhanced effect to the Bright Stars before and after."
Following a series of prompts, there was no silence, only agitation and turmoil.
What on earth is this old guy trying to do!?
Three consecutive cards, and they were all precious cards, released all at once! This is crazier than Cloud Summit Villa.
Cloud Summit used the King Card and Fate Link Card, but those targeted forces that wanted him dead; these forces did not attack the Ogre Chain. They differentiated between friend and foe.
What about jannadrah? Looking at his cards, two of the chosen targets were allies with whom he had just made agreements.
