Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 932 30. Detachment

At the end of the stars, everything is silent.

People on both sides of the gaming table maintained indifferent and gloomy expressions.

As for the referee who maintained the bet, the well-informed elders of the universe also remained silent at this moment.

The onlookers who sat on the semi-circular terraced seats around the gaming table chattered loudly.

They whistled and shouted in various languages, and some people were still waving their arms in dissatisfaction.

It wasn't just Cerber and Tyrion's bet, they had bet too.

But now, the trend of the game has become quite uncertain.

The Overlord didn't win, and neither did Reaper.

Even the Oneiroi who proposed the third result had a playful expression.

On the projection in the center of the gaming table, Merlin Riley, who is holding the Hermes scepter and wearing the power of the three phases, is challenging the chess players.

As a pawn.

However, the chess players were helpless.

The opportunity to roll the dice has long been exhausted, and almost all the dark threads they left in that world have been uncovered.

Their pressure in the final moments was completely ineffective.

Merlin did not choose to destroy everything, nor did he use those overt or hidden forces, nor did he choose to quit.

A story that should have had only three outcomes...

There is a fourth ending.

"what!"

Overlord lit a cigar with annoyed expression, and stared at the Grim Reaper across the gambling table.

He complained:

"It's all your fault!"

"Your evolutionary world is too slow, look at this embarrassing situation..."

"As long as there is an infinity gem, we won't be able to watch him knock down all the heroes in the world and be powerless!"

"Even if there is only one hungry and dizzy Tun Xing, it is enough to appear on the battlefield at this time..."

"In a world that is still limited to the power of the heavenly father, there are too few cards that can be used..."

"Did you hear that? Tyrion, we are in this situation because of your incompetence!"

"Yeah, it's all my fault."

The Grim Reaper who was accused was not angry.

Instead, he said in a grotesque voice:

"It's all my fault that I don't know anything about the universe based on your world..."

"If you want me to create items that surpass the power of the Heavenly Father in advance, then you should tell me from the beginning!"

"You're going to use those hidden information to cheat yourself, and now you're self-defeating, but you're blaming me instead? Well, well, it's all my fault, okay?"

Tyrion snorted.

他 说:

"Then the great Overlord, if you finish complaining, just talk about it, what do you do now?"

"Um..."

Overlord rubbed his chin, his face was tangled, and after a while, he looked at Gao Tianzun who was the referee.

他 说:

"Have you played so many games before, have you ever encountered this situation?"

"Of course I did."

Gao Tianzun shrugged:

"The situation of the game is beyond the control of the controller, and often at this time, the controller needs to end the game in person to deal with the troubles that have reached a deadlock..."

"So, if the two of you don't mind, I can go to this world myself and kill Merlin who provoked us to the ground."

Gao Tianzun moved his fingers and said:

"It's not difficult at all."

"No, that's too indecent."

Overlord shook his head, and the god of death opposite him also nodded and said:

"Indeed, this is breaking the rules."

"Let me remind you, gentlemen."

The Oneiroi who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke:

"If you are willing to let go of each other's arrogance and calmly look at what Merlin is doing now, then it is actually not difficult for you to judge..."

"This embarrassing thing, there is another way to solve it."

"Ok?"

The three people at the gaming table all turned to look at Oneiroi, who waved the quill in his hand.

他 说:

"Let's play an extra match."

"Merlin has a request. The reason why he gritted his teeth and refused to give in to you two is because he resented that you didn't give him the right to choose from the beginning."

"And he thinks you're kidding about his world..."

"He didn't know the whole picture, and the conclusions he got made him very angry, but that's understandable."

"He's just a mortal, he doesn't understand the meaning of the birth of the universe."

Oneiroi said softly:

"Then give him a chance to choose."

"He is eager to free his world and prevent the evolution of the world from being disturbed by other factors. This does not conflict with the two of you betting on the ownership of this world itself."

"The evolution of the world has not yet been completed, who does it belong to in the end..."

"Of course it belongs to me!"

Overlord said forcefully:

"I came up with this idea, I found the World Furnace, and I also collected the tenth metal!"

"Then why does this gamble exist?"

Oneiroi retorted, saying:

"Obviously you can't do this work yourself, there are other people involved, and I'm not discussing this with you now! I'm talking about Merlin's request!"

"At least until the evolution of the universe is completed, you can no longer interfere with its internal gestation..."

"Let everything move forward at will, no matter what kind of universe you get in the end, it has nothing to do with you!"

"What Merlin means is that you can no longer use your own ideas to add or subtract things to this universe at will..."

"His request is actually very simple, isn't it?"

Oneiroi stood up, spread his arms, and said to the three people at the gaming table:

"Whether it's luck or conspiracy, he has already reached this point on his own. What's wrong with agreeing to him?"

"Give him a choice, if he wins, do as he wants, if he loses..."

"Just continue to act according to your ideas, and no matter whether you win or lose, Merlin, a bad pawn, can be eliminated."

"Two birds with one stone, everyone! Don't you think about it?"

Facing Oneiroi's statement, the two gamblers and the referee fell silent.

After a while, the god of death said playfully:

"Why do I feel that you are particularly partial to Merlin? Your Excellency Oneiroi, do you have any shady relationship with him?"

"I just wanted a story."

Dream God said without changing his face:

"A complete story, nothing more."

"I don't want the story to come to an end at this time, but if you insist on stretching out a finger and crushing Merlin to death, then I have nothing to do."

"I'm just in charge of making suggestions."

The Overlord and the Grim Reaper looked at each other, and then exchanged glances with Gao Tianzun.

After a moment he took off his cigar, and said:

"Well, Merlin is really good, he can play to this point with so many bad cards in his hand, although I doubt that some of us secretly helped him to get him to this point... "

"But as Oneiroi said, since this soul has already achieved something that ordinary people cannot do, why not give him a reward."

"What do you two say?"

"I have no opinion."

The referee Gao Tianzun stretched out his hand, put it to his mouth, coughed twice, and made a gesture of absolute justice in a dignified manner.

他 说:

"The game needs to adopt an additional agreement to enter a draw, but we were negligent before and did not sign any additional agreement, so there is nothing wrong with a temporary extra game."

"I have an opinion!"

Death said coldly:

"Up to now, I don't hide anything anymore. Hoarfrost is indeed a trace of the essence of death that I released in this world..."

"Don't look at me like that, I don't believe you didn't do anything!"

The Overlord's eyes made Death very uncomfortable, he scolded, and continued:

"I originally planned to use this sliver of power to seize some control of the universe when it was completed."

"But now you have an extra match, it doesn't matter if Merlin loses, but if he wins, does it mean that I have to give up control of Bai Shuang?"

"That's the essence of my strength!"

Overlord and Gao Tianzun looked at each other, and the two old gambling dogs nodded at the same time, saying in unison:

"Correct!"

"Dry!"

The Grim Reaper cursed with a gloomy expression, and said:

"It's not fair! I want compensation!"

"What compensation do you want? Do you still have the face to make compensation?"

Overlord pulled his face down and said dissatisfiedly:

"You chose to cheat! This is not in line with the rules of the game. What you do, you have to bear the consequences!"

"Row!"

Death sneered, he spread his hands, and said:

"I agree, but you have planted your own power in that universe... you have to give up!"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense!"

Overlord wagged his fingers and said:

"I didn't do anything like you..."

"Phoenix!"

Death suddenly said:

"Do you think I'm blind in the last eye too?"

"I am responsible for promoting the evolution of this world. I can detect the intervention of any external force. Although your technique is brilliant, you still can't hide it from me!"

"You put the phoenix fragment in Jean Gray's body..."

"That's what she already has!"

Overlord cunningly retorted:

"If you don't believe me, you can ask other people. Anyone who knows the story of the X-Men knows that there is a phoenix fragment in Qin's soul!"

"But certainly not as big as the piece you put!"

Death said coldly:

"Don't quibble, Merlin and the others think that Qin is dead, they are just mortals, they can't see through all this, but I can!"

"If you want to force me to give up Bai Shuang, yes! You also have to give up Qin and Phoenix Girl!"

"And there's no need to talk about it!"

The atmosphere at the scene became tense again.

The two faced each other tit-for-tat, and neither of them was willing to give in. Like a child having a temper, his eyes widened and his eyes narrowed. After a few minutes of stalemate, Bawang patted the table annoyed.

He said angrily:

"Okay! I give up! Okay?"

"Come and end this now, it's really annoying me more and more!"

"Well, since the two have reached an agreement, then..."

Gao Tianzun opened his arms and was about to announce a new decision, but Meng Shen took a step forward, stretched out his finger, and pointed at Gao Tianzun with a stunned expression.

He said coldly:

"Remove the information shielding you secretly imposed on Elsa Bloodstone and Carol Danvers!"

"If we want to be fair, we must be fair to the end!"

"I do not have..."

Gao Tianzun still wanted to refute, but looking at the dangerous eyes of Overlord and Death, he shrugged for the old and disrespectful elders of the universe.

He snapped his fingers and unblocked the information about Merlin on Elsa and Carol.

Under the gaze of three dangerous eyes, he shrugged and smiled awkwardly.

他 说:

"Well, I just want to make the battle more exciting, nothing else... It's really boring to mix some love between a man and a woman in a bloody battle..."

"Shut up!"

Overlord, Reaper and Oneiroi scolded in unison.

Oneiroi stepped forward, and he said to the others:

"In order to prevent you from taking the opportunity to cheat shamelessly again, I will announce the extra game request this time, is it okay?"

"No."

Everyone else's black box operations have been uncovered, and now there is no trust between each other.

Therefore, Oneiroi's proposal was approved immediately. Under everyone's gaze, Oneiroi took a step forward and appeared in Merlin's world in the form of a projection.

Before the gates of Atlantis, in the darkness before Merlin's eyes.

Wearing a white robe with light veils over his eyes, the Oneiroi crossed his hands and folded them in the wide cuffs, and he walked out slowly.

He "looked" at Merlin, and said:

"Did you like the story?"

"It's you!"

Merlin looked at the strange guy who suddenly appeared in front of him in surprise, and he heard a sense of familiarity from the tone of Oneiroi.

And that sentence...

That was obviously the last question left for him before the parchment dissipated.

"shush"

Oneiroi stretched out his hand and made a silent movement, pointing to the sky.

他 说:

"They don't know yet, and you better not let them know..."

Merlin's expression changed.

He now knew who the source of the parchment was, and he trusted the parchment that had been helping him more than anyone else who had been bothering him.

He said to Oneiroi:

"So, what are you doing here? Do you want to replace the great will to announce that I, a fanatic who dared to disobey them, is about to die?"

"hehe"

Oneiroi chuckled lightly, and said:

"Don't rashly comment on things you don't understand, Merlin Riley."

"They have no complaints with you. In fact, if it weren't for their intervention, your soul lost in the void would have perished long ago..."

"You should thank them for giving you another life, a wonderful life."

Oneiroi said to Merlin:

"Of course you made a mistake. You shouldn't have provoked them so directly. They were very angry and vowed to give you some color."

"But since you've come this far, as a reward for the great things you've done, we'd like to give you a choice."

"You can retreat from this, or you can move forward."

"If you win, your world will be free, and no one can interfere with it until the reshaping of this universe is completed."

"If you lose..."

"Then you will leave the stage as if you never showed up."

"They will forget you and move on with their own lives, people you love, people who love you, people you hate, people who want you to be buried completely..."

"It's an all-or-nothing game, but in my opinion, there's no way out for you."

"But win or lose, you can get a decent exit."

"Then, tell me!"

Merlin spread his hands, and he said:

"How can I win?"

"Stay alive!"

Oneiroi said in a low voice:

"If you survive the battle with the last strong enemy, you will win, if you die, then you will lose..."

"Simple and crude, but easy to judge, there is no intermediate value."

The figure of Oneiroi slowly dissipated before Merlin's eyes.

He said to Merlin:

"Now, make a choice."

"Also, congratulations on becoming a chess player, Merlin, the future of this world is already in your hands..."

"You are really welcome to join this game..."
