97 Dice and willows
"Now do you want to play a gor what?"
Bringing all kind of games to the table, the mysterious figure who looked exactly like him smiled as if not having a care in the world
And Ye Tian seeing this after calming down couldn't help but find the current scenaamusing
*hmm, looking form his action just now it's obvious no matter what I ask him he's just going to say he's me*
*but then again, that itself might not be actually false*
Putting one hand on his chin, Ye Tian couldn't help but think of the past and after remembering for a bit he realised that such situations in the crazy world he lived in weren't completely impossible
In his former life, he had encountered all kinds of things over the course of several millennia
Once he encountered an inner demon bread by the magic of the demon god Luo huo and his hatred and resentment against humanity
And as something born of him, it much of a stretch to call it a second him since it possessed most of his characteristics at least on the physical side
Unfortunately even a demon god such as luo huo was unable to replicate his true ability making it easy for him to take it down
Another tthe human federation in an attempt to create an unlimited amount of soldiers begun to develop clone technology and created millions of clones using the nation gene pool which his managed to be part off
That clone also a complete genetic copy of him while unable to awaken his fake becomes real ability awakened an SS class absorption ability which much like devour could retain characteristics from any thing it absorbed
And while this might not seem like much at the early stage, if developed to the fullest it could absorb intangible things such as time, life, luck and pretty much almost anything
It was due to this after discovering its potential Ye Tian back then quickly nipped it in the bud but killing him, taking his place, pretending to be him for a while to gain the ability and then faking his death before pursuing the next secret identity
However now that he thought about it, the clone was a complete genetic replica of him which could also be called him an another sense
*Haha is it justor why does it seem like anotherwas always appearing in my past life*
*could it be that the universe will saw I was too powerful and wanted to create my opposite to counteract me?*
*if that's the case, sorry universe but you failed!*

And after thinking for a bit, the realisation that Ye Tian cto was that this was completely possible
Don't look at s and comics making stories about the protagonist and villain, Ye Tian as a former powerhouse knew that such a thing as luck did exist
And with enough luck, calling yourself the protagonist or son of destiny wouldn't be an exaggeration
"Ahem, are you going to play or not?"
"If not, then I might get a bit angry!"
Just as Ye Tian was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a deadly, dark and gloomy aura press toward him
Looking at the mysterious figure in front of him, Ye Tian realised that at spoint it's smile had disappeared leaving only a gloomy smile that showed his current mood
Seeing this, Ye Tian decided to deal with the universe will later after all the current him not only was he too weak but he had a lot of other things to deal with at the moment
And one of those things was dealing with the mysterious figure in front of him.
"Haha don't mind me, sure let's play a game"
"However, I'll be the one to pick the game"
Wearing a smile on his face, Ye Tian pointed to the two inconspicuous dice floating in the air
In fact, when the figure asked him if he wanted to play a gand showed him all the options, Ye Tian who had heard the word dice from Apollo couldn't help but be confused why he didn't mention there'd be options
However thinking that Apollo swore on his true name, Ye Tian still decided to believe him and went for the dice
And the figure seeing this couldn't help but raise his eyebrow with surprise however that soon turned into a smile as he seemed to have seen something interesting
"Interesting…, so you were sent here by him"
"Now that I think about it, how many years has it been since I last had a guest here?"
"A hundred? A million? Ten million? As a prisoner in this damn prison it's hard to keep track of the there"
Talking to Ye Tian, the figure seemed to have given up on pretending to be him as his figure gradually began to morph which each word he spoke
"Since you were brought here by that idiot Apollo, then it means he's in a situation where he needs that necklace desperately"
"And judiging from the way you look, your obviously not one to given him if you win this game"
"So why play? I don't know if Apollo told you but that necklace also possess sof zeus's divine power so it would be almost impossible for you to use"
"And even if he didn't, you still couldn't use it considering you're a mortal"
"So that bringsto my earlier question, since you don't want the necklace, neither do you look like someone who wanted to help Apollo for fun"
"Then why play the game?"
Asking this, the figure at this point has completely turned into a whole different creature
Similar to a giant willow, its bark was completely covered with hundreds of not thousands of faces with all kinds of expressions
Scrying, while others crying as if they were sculpted there intentionally to convey agony
And Ye Tian seeing this, for sreason felt that there was something more to these faces
Thinking of this, he grabbed the dice and smiled at the figure completely ignoring its sudden change of appearance
"Oh? That? Why don't we make a deal?"
"I'll tell you why as well as any other questions you want to ask as long as you win"
"However, if I win you'll tellwhat you are and what are those faces on your body"
Silence...
Hearing Ye Tians words, the figure couldn't help but be silent obviously not expecting him to reply like this
However after a few seconds silence it burst out laughing along with it the whole space began to shake
"Haha amazing! Interesting! Now I suddenly can't wait to play this game"
"However let's make one change, if I win I don't want anything but your soul"
"And if you win, then then I'll answer any questions you may have"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs it said this, Ye Tian seemed to feel a huge pressure descend onto him along with multiple eyes staring at him on all directions
Feeling this, Ye Tian knew if he backed out now then the only result would be his death if not serious injury
Fortunately, as the one who proposed the deal, Ye Tian had no intention of backing out
*Ava, don't letdown!*
Talking to Ava in his mind, Ye Tian looked at the willow in front of him with a confident smile as if he was completely unaffected by the surrounding aura
"Deal!"
"You go first"
Saying this, Ye Tian through the dice back to him waiting for him to make his move first
.........
Dice…..
Once if not the simplest of all games out there, with only few rules to it
To begin with, Each player rolls two dice and writes the highest value number that you can make with the two numbers on the dice.
For instance, if a player rolls a 6 and a 1, they would write "61". The next player rolls the dice and tries to beat that number. The player with the highest number on a round, scores a point.
Just looking at it, it looked like an ordinary gthat required no skills and only luck
However, in a world filled with extraordinary powers and abilities, all kinds of strange ways to cheat were possible making a simple gsuch as this beccomplex
If Ye tians guess was right, then the mysterious willow in front of him must also have a way to cheat or at least secure its victory
Something that Ye Tian who had never played before nor had abilities for would obviously loose too
However even with all this, Ye Tian still retain a confident posture as he watched the willow use a branch to shake the dice
"Human let's begin, remember its best out of three!"
Saying this the willow threw his dice onto the table
