Chapter 1467: Commencing digital mayhem
"Let’s welcome the final teams who have proven their talents and skills... among hundreds of competitors..."
The host of tonight’s event amped up the excitement with his lively voice, welcoming the two teams who had proven their talents both individually and as a group. The audience — a mix of competitors’ friends and avid followers of the competition — cheered enthusiastically. The other participants who had fallen also joined the audience to watch this unfold.
Some competitors waved to the crowd with enthusiasm, while others remained silent and focused. None had expected such a large audience — it was five times bigger than on previous days. Even so, it gave them a glimpse of how huge this competition was.
"Team A, now taking their seats." The host continued, beaming as he clearly enjoyed Team A’s energy more than the other team’s. "And now taking the stage... Team D!"
Unlike the energetic Team A, Team D was more serious. They faced the audience, bowed, and then headed to their designated positions.
As the host continued hyping up the crowd, both teams mentally prepared themselves for what lay ahead. They had been competing all day, but this final round was the most crucial. They had already bested hundreds of others — only one final challenge stood between them and the grand prize.

[Team A’s Side]
"Don’t get complacent," one of the members warned. "Team D may have been the last to qualify, but they’ve been the toughest competition we’ve faced since the beginning. Every single one of them gave us a hard time during the individual rounds."
The other four members nodded seriously. Their earlier high energy faded, replaced by a steely focus.
"Let’s finish this," one of them said. "Beating them is the last step to reaching our goal. Let’s not let them stand in the way!"
"Focus! We’ve got this, team!"
