30. Detachment(1/2)
At the end of the stars, everything is silent.
The people on both sides of the gambling table maintained a cold and gloomy expression.
As for the referee who maintained the gambling game, the knowledgeable universe elders also remained silent at this moment.
And those bystanders sitting on semicircular stairs around the gambling table were making noise.
They whistled and shouted various languages, and some were still waving their arms in dissatisfaction.
This bet was not only for Cyber and Terion, but also for bets.
But now, the trend of the gambling game has become quite unclear.
The Overlord didn't win, and the God of Death didn't win either.
Even the Dream God, who proposed the third result, expressed his expression and thought.
On the projection in the center of the gambling table, Merlin Riley, holding the Hermes scepter and wearing the power of the three phases, was provoking the chess players.
As a chess piece.
However, the chess players were helpless.
The opportunity to roll the dice has been exhausted, and the dark lines they left in that world have almost been revealed.
Their oppression at the end of the day has no effect at all.
Merlin did not choose to destroy everything, nor did he use those powers, either light or dark, nor did he choose to withdraw.
A story that should have only three results...
The fourth ending appeared.
"ah!"
The Overlord lit a cigar with annoyance, and he stared at the god of death opposite the gambling table.
He complained:
"It's all your fault!"
"You are too slow to evolve into the world. Look at this embarrassing situation..."
"Without an Infinity Stone, we will not be able to watch him overthrow all the heroes in the world without any helpless!"
"Even if there is only one star-swallowing star, it's enough to appear on the battlefield at this time..."
"A world that is still limited to the power of the Heavenly Father, there are too few cards available..."
"Hear? Terion, it's all your fault for being incompetent when we fall into this situation!"
"Yes, it's all my fault."
The accused death was not angry.
Instead, he said in a sarcastic voice:
"It's all my fault that I know nothing about the universe made based on your world..."
"If you want me to shape things that transcend the power of the Father in advance, then you should tell me from the beginning!"
"You want to cheat by borrowing the hidden information yourself. Now you are backfiring, but you blame me on the other hand? Well, okay, it's all my fault, right?"
Terion snorted.
He said:
"So great Overlord, if you finish complaining, just talk, what should I do now?"
"Um..."
The overlord rubbed his chin, and he looked entangled. After a moment, he looked at Gao Tianzun, who was the referee.
He said:
"You have played games so many times before, have you ever encountered this situation now?"
"Of course I've encountered it."
Gao Tianzun shrugged:
"The situation in the game is beyond the control of the controller. Often, the controller needs to come out in person to deal with the troubles of entering the deadlock..."
"So, if you two don't mind, I can go to this world myself and pin Merlin, who was provoking us, to the ground."
Gao Tianzun moved his fingers and said:
“It’s not difficult at all.”
"No, this is too undecent."
The Overlord shook his head, and the God of Death opposite him nodded and said:
"Indeed, this is a breaking rule."
"Let me remind you, everyone."
Meng Shen, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke:
"If you are willing to let go of each other's arrogant figure and look at what Merlin is doing now calmly, then it is not difficult for you to judge..."
"There is another solution to this embarrassing thing."
"Um?"
The three people at the gambling table all turned to look at Meng Shen, who waved the quill in his hand.
He said:
"Let's have a better match."
"Merlin has a demand. The reason why he gritted his teeth and was stubbornly unwilling to surrender to you two is because he resented you who did not give him the right to choose from the beginning."
"And he thinks you're kidding on his world..."
"He didn't understand the whole picture of the matter. The conclusions he got from the perspective of the leopard made him very angry, but this is understandable."
"He is just a mortal, and he doesn't understand the meaning of the birth of the universe."
Dream God said softly:
"Then give him a chance to choose."
"He desires to free his world and not allow the evolution of the world to be disturbed by other factors. This does not conflict with you two betting on the right to belong to the world itself."
"The evolution of the world has not been completed yet, who does it belong to in the end..."
"Of course it belongs to me!"
The overlord said strongly:
"I made this idea, I found the World Furnace, and I also collected the tenth metal!"
"Then why does this bet exist again?"
Dream God retorted, he said:
"Obviously you can't do this work yourself, and there are others involved, and I'm not discussing this with you now! I'm talking about Merlin's appeal!"
"At least, before the universe is evolved, you can no longer interfere in its internal fertility..."
"Let everything be pushed forward freely, no matter what kind of universe you get in the end, it has nothing to do with you!"
"Merlin means that you can no longer add or reduce something to this universe with your own ideas..."
"His request is actually very simple, isn't he?"
Dream God stood up, spread his arms and said to the three people at the gambling table:
"Whether lucky or conspiracy, he has already reached this point by relying on himself. What's wrong with promises to him?"
"Give him a choice. If he wins, follow his ideas. If he loses..."
"So keep doing what you think, and no matter whether you win or lose, Merlin, a bad piece, can be eliminated."
"It's a killing two birds with one stone, everyone! Don't you think about it?"
Faced with the statement of Dream God, both gambling players and referees were silent.
After a moment, the god of death said in a playful tone:
"Why do I feel that you are particularly biased towards Merlin? Lord Mengshen, do you have any shameful relationship with him?"
“I just want a story.”
Dream God said without changing his expression:
"A complete story, that's all."
"I don't want the story to end at this time, but if you have to stretch out a finger and crush Merlin to death, then I can't do anything."
“I’m just responsible for making suggestions.”
The Overlord and the God of Death looked at each other, and exchanged glances with Gao Tianzun.
After a moment, he took off his cigar, he said:
"Okay, this guy Merlin is really good. He can play so many bad cards in his hand. Although I suspect that some of us secretly helped him, he got to this point..."
"But as the dream god said, since this soul has done something that ordinary people cannot do, it is better to give him a reward."
"What do you two say?"
"I have no objection."
The referee Gao Tianzun stretched out his hand, put it beside his mouth, coughed twice, and made a hypocritical attitude.
