最终赢家 Final Winner
Ending A: No One Truly Wins 🙅♂️
In this ultimate grand showdown of the century, they devour each other, with the winner consuming the loser. In the end, there will only be one final winner left standing. Everyone aspires to be the last person of the old world and the first of the new world. Brutal battles! Dazzling techniques! Free-fighting with every punch landing solidly. Characters appear, fight, disappear, appear again, fight, disappear, and so on.
Now, it’s the final showdown between the Black Little Demon and the Genius Little Panda. Sometimes they wrestle on the ground, sometimes they sink two or three meters deep, sometimes they fly through the air raising clouds of dust, and sometimes they chase each other in the water, sailing away.
Finally, the moment has come. The Black Little Demon has won! Its deep black eyes, usually hiding any sharpness, now emit an intimidating glare. The small, dot-like eyes, usually expressionless, are now full of formidable power! However, at this moment, the Genius Little Panda is clinging to its belly like a kangaroo baby. When they lock eyes, the Black Little Demon’s dot-like eyes return to a state of cuteness.
Ah, because they are too strong, having consumed too many losers, the Black Little Demon, although it has eaten the Genius Little Panda, cannot digest it due to their equally matched cells! Oh! They both survive, sharing one body. Knowing this is the end, what is the point? Black Little Demon, what will you do now? Will you carry this loser through a long life, or will you kill it and commit suicide first?
The Genius Little Panda also hears voices from inside the Black Little Demon’s body: it turns out that the other losers consumed aren’t truly dead either, but have become parts of the winner’s body. They aren’t dead, but have been reconstituted into new cells within the winner, becoming part of its new body experience. The losers can actually control the winner’s body from within. The Little Panda realizes: no wonder after each victorious meal, instead of constant joy, there’s an indescribable intense change, a mental chaos, and frequent physical ailments. This unspoken post-war week-long retreat custom actually has this reasoning, with biological mechanisms leveling the playing field.
Have they won? Yes, but the world is such that you can never truly, completely win as you wish. In any case, wish you success!
Ending B (Everyone Wins) 🙆♂️
In this ultimate grand showdown of the century, they fight each other fiercely, tearing with their teeth and suffocating with their hands. There will always be a winner, and they have all been promised an unparalleled superpower. But at this moment, winning or losing no longer matters to them. Why? Firstly, they are bloodthirsty; their bodies are naturally filled with a continuous fighting instinct, constantly destroying and attacking, as if it is their mission. Secondly, the one who promised the winner the superpower, the "Master," needs them to be evenly matched, with neither able to defeat the other. The promised superpower certainly exists, but truthfully, even the "Master" does not know what this superpower actually is. No one knows what it is. The "Master" only knows that as long as the two continue to fight, his power will persist.
This is about the final showdown between the Black Little Demon and the Genius Little Panda. In their imagination, this superpower is likely the chance to become "human." From birth, they have been told by their blood relatives that their beast form is inferior and primitive, and only by gaining a human form can they get closer to the God of Truth. Their tribes are known as warrior nations, coming from the same rural-urban area. They are naturally better at making each other submit, using various methods, but these methods essentially boil down to two things: one is to make their reason for fighting noble, a kind of self-speech ability that makes their blood flow faster and their reactions sharper; the other is a sense of mission. Yes, a sense of mission. They are the best fighters in their tribes, so in these two aspects, they are also the most excellent in their tribes. For the warrior nations, if there comes a day when they can no longer fight or if they "lose," the nation would cease to exist, at least that's what they believe.
But interestingly, as a warrior nation, their victories have been few and far between. There is a saying in their tribes that every few hundred years, a chosen one will appear, who will lead the tribe to eternal victory. Now, the Black Little Demon and the Genius Little Panda are the chosen ones of their tribes. The pursuit of eternal victory and the waiting for the chosen one is the most important thing that unites their tribes. In this endless battle, everyone ultimately achieves what they desire and hope for, and as for the so-called result, it no longer matters!
