Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer
Chapter 885: Next Phase of the GameWhile the players just got a message informing them of the end of their decade-long mission, the gods who are playing the game with the players are having a meeting.
And in this meeting, all twelve gods are present even though five of the players died.
"Okay, we are here to get the details of your missions. Even though your players died, it is not an excuse to take off your missions from the whole game."
Zeus asked calmly as he looked at them with a sweeping glance.
"Why should we give our share when we are no longer part of the bet? We already lost our wager, but you also want us to give the missions away, which might lose our fame and prestige over there. There is no way I am doing that."
Indra refuted directly.
"Don't go back on your bloody word Indra. Or I will make you bleed. You might think that you would lose fame or faith of your followers. But trust me when I say this. If you go back on this word. It doesn't matter how many followers you have you would still be walking limp for eternity."
Thor who is the god supporting Donner spoke.
"Really, I would like to see you try."
Indra didn't back down.
Gambler tapped on the table making everyone silent.
"Stop acting up everyone. I am the most psychotic guy here and you all know what happens when I go crazy. And your stupid arguments are annoying me."
Thor and Indra sat back down.
Gambler diverted his attention to the five eliminated gods and said.
"I don't care if you are okay with giving the missions are not. But you are giving them. You made a wager which this Gambler is also part of and you all know how far I could go for a wager. So, don't make me lose it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOr we can go to a realm war and decide the result based on that."
Hel threw a token onto the table and stood up.
"No need, this is the list. Just inform me when I am needed."
With that, she was about to leave. But Indra extended his saber and said.
"You are not going anywhere. I have been trying to get in touch with you. My player died because of your little trick. You better give me an explanation."
Hel looked at him coldly and spoke.
"I don't know what is wrong with your brains. Seven out of eight people who has every right to ask for an explanation are staying silent. Did you ever ask your brain why?"
Indra looked at the rest of the gods who seemed to be unbothered by it.
"It is because they knew that they don't need to ask. I will provide an explanation properly. For my part of the missions, apart from the normal reward, they will get an extra reward if they clear it. As for your little player who died, I didn't kill him. He died in a normal way by another player. I don't need to dirty my hands to kill someone of your player's level.
Now take your saber off and let me go before I lose it and burn your ass."
Indra begrudgingly let her go as he knew that a fight is not an option at this moment.
So, he sat down there for the rest of the meeting.
Gambler proceeded to explain the next phase of the game.
"Here how this goes.
All the gods here have certain realms under their rule and their many people follow you like religion and there are some organizations and families in every realm under you that follow you with the most devotion with which you make occasional contact.
Now every one of your lists has families or organizations of such strength with various powers.
And we will be giving these lists to the players.
The players will have to select one family or organization at a time from the list of others and after the selection, you would be going to inform that family about the player and give his picture too.
The goal is for the players to get the family heirloom or some treasure in that organization that represents them.
If it is a consumable one, then they would take it to use it for the benefit of the cultivation or if it is a weapon, they could decide to keep it or they could barter it with us.
The family or the organization can kill the players if they can and they can use any means which includes, employing assassins, the family heads directly taking part, cheap tricks, there is no cap to their methods.
So, if we are clear with all the rules, we would be sending the lists and the rules to the Players tomorrow."
The meeting was over soon and the rules are sent the next day through the wrist screen.
The players are already feeling nervous about what would hit them and when they saw this, they are stunned.
The gods are just finding ways to kill them. Because some people go to the lengths that a normal person wouldn't just to make sure their heirloom stays there. To keep that intangible honor exist.
And some people might sell it for the right price.
But they don't know what family is what and what organization is what.
It is just them knocking on the door of death and try to escape after stealing something from inside when it opened the door.
Sam looked at the long list of all these families or organizations that are in this. The only details given about that family is their location and realm, the head of the family, and what kind of heirloom they had with them.
The game has one rule that intrigued Sam. The gods didn't set a deadline for this, but this phase of the game will be over only after they are done with all the families and organizations.
And since there are no requirements that he has to fight normally and work normally, he doesn't have to worry too much.
It is just as well that he can test his own forces. If the families sell the heirlooms it is all and good, otherwise, he could just take over their businesses and influence so that he can develop in these realms.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt will be a lot less effort for him.
When he looked through the list to pick a place, he saw Hel's list.
The realms he saw surprised him a bit because he recently checked the locations of the trio and Watt is in one of those realms. So, he was a bit surprised by the coincidence.
But what he doesn't know is, he is not the only one who noticed this coincidence.
Hel who is in one of Hell's realms is looking through all the information she has on Sam.
When her soul fragment was part of Beryl she already has a lot of information regarding Sam and after the episode between them, she is really waiting to deal with him.
Even though she told him that he would die when he came to the upper realms, she couldn't wait until then, so she looked for her friends who went on a journey on their own and noticed that Watt is also there within one of her realms and got an idea.
If only Sam knew this, he would have selected that organization directly, but he doesn't know and selected a different realm.
His first target is Zeus's list.
The players reached a consensus that at least while they are still here, they don't clash with the selection, because from what the rules they were told if they clash in their selection, they would have to go against each other to get an heirloom.
And the winner will be someone who defeated most families or organizations. So, the clashes is inevitable one way or the other. So, it would be better if they didn't start with clash itself since they have many options.
As for why he chose Hou Yi, it is because Arkiv couldn't take it himself.
If he could, he would be dealing with them by himself and as a friend, it wouldn't hurt to help him a bit in taking some revenge.
The first target is a family and they are also in the Azure Path realm, the same realm where Avatars stay. But the planet he is going to go is on one end while the Starbird Planet which is where Avatars live is in on the other end and their planet's strength difference is like the difference between night and day.
While he decided to go there, he didn't go alone.
He brought thirty Astral Planet cultivators with him along with some beasts.
Why bother fighting alone when you can just deal with them with numbers?
Sam landed in the planet Bird's eye along with his thirty confidants and the news about his arrival and his information was also given to the Starbow family.
