6. Cyber's Gamble(1/2)
"I like gambling."
Seb and Tyrion were walking on the streets of Sakaar. He seemed to be quite famous here. As he walked forward, people everywhere were shouting the title of Overlord.
While waving to the fanatics, Seb said to the silent Tyrion:
"I also like this place. I won the Black Lantern of Death on Sakaar, and teamed up with the owner here to win an entire universe. Since then, I have fallen in love with the kind of people who fight at the gambling table.
Fun. Trust me, Tyrion, when you become a winner, you'll love that fun too."
"A universe?"
Tyrion asked softly:
"You mean, you have a complete universe in your hands?"
"Yes, a universe, a constellation of stars. Multiverse No. 20000, in the universe files of the Life Tribunal, the legal owner of that universe can be written with my name."
Seb spread his hands and said to Tyrion with a little contentment:
"That's the best trophy I've ever won. Of course, at your current level, you can only play as a pawn in a gambling game of that level. The rewards are huge, but it's also very dangerous.
If you are careful, your body and body will be destroyed."
"Yeah, you sound very experienced."
Tyrion heard another meaning in Seb's words, and the Overlord shrugged:
"Of course, otherwise how do you think I won my universe? I was as weak as you and I worked my butt off to get it. What? Are you also interested in participating in the death bet?"
Seb said meaningfully:
"If you want to try it once, I can help you arrange it. I know some bastards who like to play this kind of game. You seem like a pretty capable guy. How about we cooperate? The loot will be 73 points?"
"Let's talk about this later."
Tyrion did not answer. He raised his head and looked at the highest building on Sakaar. It was a huge metal pillar. On the pillar, some of the most powerful figures on Sakaar were carved with rough techniques.
The faces of legendary gladiators.
The Overlord's face is carved on the top of the five emblems
No wonder people here look so crazy when they see the Overlord appear.
But what was the purpose of bringing Mr. Seber here who didn't know the details? What was the content of the gamble he mentioned?
The most important thing is that Tyrion wanted to refuse the bet offered by Seb, but he couldn't.
The black lamp of death and the white lamp of life are used at the same time. As long as the user's willpower and mental power are strong enough, the life and death power of the stars can be balanced in an instant. This is indeed the tool Tyrion is in urgent need of, and it is also the tool that the great lord is currently looking for.
It is a way to smooth out the power imbalance problem in the stars of Azeroth with minimal sequelae.
"arrive!"
While Tyrion was thinking about this problem, Seb also brought him to his destination.
There is a house under the metal pillars at the highest point of Sakaar. It is like a future palace made of gold and full of wasteland atmosphere. The two tall and burly men guarding the door of the house are wearing armor, like rhinos.
The guards did not dare to stop Sir Seb, and the great lord Tyrion who was following Mr. Seb was also sent to the highest level of the palace by them.
"It's noisy here and the owner has terrible taste."
In the spherical elevator, the great lord looked down at the carnival hall below, which was like the most chaotic bar. All kinds of aliens in strange and weird clothes were dancing in the blaring music. The scene was simply like
It's like a group of demons dancing wildly.
Tyrion, who was born in the elven civilization, instinctively hates this kind of scene.
"You're right."
Seb stretched out his finger, pointed at his head, and responded with approval:
"Gao Tianzun is a very good friend, a qualified companion, and a trustworthy gambling host. But maybe he has lived for too long, which has caused some problems in his brain. He, and his brother Collector
, are all weirdos among the elders of the universe, but don’t worry about them, we are not here for these anyway.”
"What on earth do you want to bet with me?"
The high lord looked back at Seb:
"I don't think a being at your level would really be bored. So, Seb, for the sake of us coming from the same place, tell me the truth."
"The truth?"
Overlord looked at Tyrion in front of him with a half-smile, leaning against the glass-like frame of the spherical elevator, and said:
"There is no truth, don't think too much, Tyrion, this is just a casual gamble. Just treat it as a gamble and enjoy it. At your level, knowing too much is nothing.
Good thing"
There was a hint of warning in Seb's tone, and Tyrion's eyes narrowed at this moment. But the next moment, he nodded and stopped talking.
Two compatriots who came from the same place but took different paths stood silently in the elevator. As the elevator continued to rise until it was about to open, Seber suddenly said:
"Remember what I told you before, that I passed through the Wall of Origin and witnessed all the mysteries in the world?"
"Um."
Tyrion nodded, and the next moment, the elevator door opened. Amidst the ding-dong sound, Seb, who had his hands in his pockets, lowered his voice and said to Tyrion:
"That wall is coming down."
—
"I couldn't sleep all night after I learned that you were going to make a bet, my good brother Seb."
Gao Tianzun, this is a weird guy who wears weird robes, has weird hairstyle, and speaks with weird accents. He is like an old hippie, enjoying bad music, and then laughing and chatting with Seb
sky.
He waved away the guards around him, and then walked with Seb and Tyrion in his gorgeous and weird palace. He rubbed his hands happily and said to Seb:
"I knew you were a true wise man, my Brother Cyber. You know who is the best referee. I am honored that you chose me as the host of this bet. You know, I am the favorite
Let’s play with these things.”
"Of course I know. I still remember how ugly that old bastard looked when we won against Barbatos."
Seb held a glass of wine and said to Gao Tianzun:
"It is precisely because I trust your strength, my brother, that I found you. But I still have to ask one more question, is the 'card table' I need ready?"
"Of course! Thanks to the Tenth Metal you left with me last time, it has been completed."
Gao Tianzun chuckled, stretched out his hand to push open a door, and then made a "please" gesture.
Seb and Tyrion stepped into it, as if they had stepped into a chaotic sea of stars. Among the millions of shining stars, the weird slices of the starry sky, and the almost perfect mutual adhesion, made this room
A phantom of a bizarre world emerged.
The great lord stood in the light of the stars. In front of him was a slowly rotating model of the earth.
"That's it!"
Gao Tianzun glanced at the great lord Tyrion. He didn't pay much attention to this stranger. He explained to Seb:
"This is what you need. A world where time and space are misaligned is also where your bet is. This starry sky is a world that my brother and I spent several months rubbing and imitating according to the real starry sky. We found a
The abandoned cosmic furnace, and those metal smeltings were found again. Look, it's now only one step away from the real pocket universe. You know what I mean? Just like when we defeated Barbatos, we have done it again.
Genesis!”
The excited Gao Tianzun spread his arms and shouted to the two people in front of him:
"We don't even need to include it in the universe database of the Life Court. This is our pocket universe and the 'ark' for us to survive the chaotic era."
"Of course, it's still the last step."
Gao Tianzun's words became cold in vain, his eyes looked at Tyrion, and Seb also looked at the great lord, and he said:
"Bring on the black light ring of death and the white light ring of life, Tyrion, the bet has begun. I want you to inject life and death into this pocket universe. Before the bet ends, you can act as the rules of this pocket universe and let it
Move forward and then fill in the final flaws.”
"If you win, you can leave with the black and white light to save your own stars. Everything here has nothing to do with you anymore. We will find other ways."
"But if you lose"
Seb stretched out his hand, patted Tyrion on the shoulder, and said:
"Then when the era of great chaos begins, you have to come here to maintain the operation of this pocket universe until the end of the era of great chaos. This is actually a good thing, my friend. After the wall of origin collapses, the entire multiverse will welcome
Come to destroy and change, order will be gone, and natural and man-made disasters will sweep through the endless world. If you stay here, you can at least protect yourself."
"What about you?"
Tyrion did not get angry because of this harsh condition. On the contrary, he was very calm. He looked at Seb and Gao Tianzun in front of him and said:
"You plan to just hide in this pocket universe? Just wait until the next era comes? Tsk, tsk, I think you shouldn't call the overlord a coward."
"Hey! How do you talk!"
Seb was not angry. He punched Tyrion in the chest as if it was a joke. Gao Tianzun also laughed and said nothing. After a moment, the Overlord stopped laughing and looked at Tyrion seriously.
He said:
