Because the players of World Zone No. 1213 had publicized it so aggressively, every World Zone had already heard the news.
The Multiversal World Channel was in an uproar.
"Unvanquished Reaper Quin, charge! Take Faustus down! We of World Zone No. 250 are backing you all the way!"
"Brother Quin, keep it up! Unvanquished Reaper, forever undefeated!"
"The players of World Zone No. 82 have been waiting to see that cheating dog Faustus fall from his pedestal! Brother Quin, win some honor for us!"
Then the channel of World No. 616 exploded as well.
"Unvanquished Reaper? He sure talks big."
"I know that guy—the one ranked first in the Hidden World."
"Oh, give me a break. The Hidden World is tiny. The top player there, no matter how you dress it up, is just some local champion from a backwater village. Our Lord Faustus is on a whole cosmic level!"
"The guy above is absolutely right! A village-level player got hyped into a universe-level legend—what a joke. Is he even worthy?"
