As the announcer declared the beginning of the Round of Creation, every participant saw the same thing appear before them.
A translucent floating clock.
01:59:59
The timer ticked down.
01:59:58
The competition had officially begun.
Almost every participant immediately reached out and touched the Imagination Marble floating before them.
The moment their fingertips made contact.
The marble dissolved into countless streams of silver light, surrounding its owner like a living mist.
Then, reality itself began responding to imagination.
Across the stadium, spectators watched hundreds of creations take shape simultaneously.
Most participants followed a similar approach.
They first imagined the vehicle's outer frame.
Once the shell existed, they gradually filled in the finer details.
Some created car like structure.
Others imagined motorcycles unlike anything found in nature.
Many favored humanoid mechs equipped with enormous legs capable of traversing difficult terrain.
