In the corner of the universe.
On the surface of a planet without any signs of life.
On the barren land swept by a superstorm, there stood a low building that was theoretically impossible to exist. It was completely unaffected by the environment.
Looking at it from different perspectives, the building would appear in different forms.
It could be an ancient castle, a dirty pool of blood, the abdominal cavity of a living creature, or the concave surface of a starlight.
Now, let's examine it from a "human" brain structure:
The building corresponded to a bar in the western United States.
Cheerful sounds were constantly coming from inside, as if a game was being played.
There was only a large wooden round table in the hall.
A total of eleven "guests" sat around. Whether it was makeup, dress, speech, behavior, or characteristics, they were all very different. They seemed to be of the same species, but there were huge differences.
Briefly describing the appearance of a few of them (all from a human perspective):
A person sitting at the northeast corner of the round table was stepping on a pair of shoes overflowing with seawater, and the other end was barefoot on the ground.
It was similar to the clothes of a pirate captain, with long wet hair hanging down to his shoulders.
As if soaked in the deep sea for years, wrinkles covered his face like gullies, and his eyes were shining with psychedelic starry colors, as if he could enter the "dreamland" that was both real and illusory.
No matter what he did, he was half a beat slower than the other people around him.
There was also a person wearing a delicate British vest, his whole body was gray, and his movements showed an aristocratic temperament.
When this person was observed from different directions, his facial features would always be missing (the mouth couldn't be seen from the side above, the left eye couldn't be seen from the right, and the nose couldn't be seen from the side below).
The other "guests" also had their own characteristics and were easy to distinguish.
A man in a suit sat at the "first seat" of the large round table facing the bar. He was also the person in charge of the building. The bartender from a human perspective was also the leader who released the urgent message and led some of the guests here for the gathering.
The bartender had a strange square face, and his deep eyes were like the most distant cluster of stars.
This group of "people" gathered together and played a gambling game with the theme of a meeting.
Each guest held at least five "chips" with the corresponding emblem in their hands.
On the surface of the round table, a model of the city of London was perfectly scaled.
The details of the city walls, buildings, streets, and the Thames River were all restored. Some kind of giant life could even be seen in the city walls.
In the center of the round table, there was a stable movable support that carried the "second table".
On the second table was a parallel world, the City of London. It was an independent space created using a king-level land deed to allow the Church of the Maelstrom to develop in secret.
Through a method similar to a chessboard, the two cities were presented.
Except for the buildings.
There were also a series of "individual models" that represented the Hybrid Demons that were under the command of different old kings. They were mainly Atavistic Demons and were placed in different areas of the round table.
Some of the models were still located outside the city of London on the main chessboard, indicating that they had not yet entered the city. They were wandering in the Dark Forest, in the basin outside the city, or in the villages.
Some models had already entered the city, but they had yet to find a way to infiltrate the parallel space.
There were also a small number of models that were located in parallel worlds … These included models that represented the Fourth Origin — Sally, the Terror Hunter — Kampbell, the Spotted Toad — Marittis, and Han Dong.
The meeting was divided into two parts.
[1] London Gambling:
With the bartender as the banker, the parameters of the universe were combined to set reasonable odds for different models (Hybrid Demons).
The guests could use the chips in their hands (corresponding to the land deed) to bet on the models.
[2] An official meeting for the destiny space:
The game would end after a certain Hybrid Demon obtained the corresponding "ownerless divinity" of the Maelstrom miracle. A discussion that touched on the rules would be carried out according to the destiny events that happened in the City of London.
Of course, this group of people was more inclined to the first item of the meeting.
It had been a long time since everyone got together to play.
Moreover, this gamble involved several little guys who could leave their names on the [Ancestral Tablet]. The event itself also involved divinity from other worlds, as well as foreign substances that could threaten the essence of the Hybrid Demons.
The reason why …
The old kings tried their best not to interfere with the overall events that happened in the City of London.
Was because …
They wanted to keep more "variables."
The more variables there were, the more interesting the game would be, and their bets would be more interesting.
…
The game began.
A middle-aged man with fog all over his body and a gloomy face like a corpse placed his bet first.
With a raise of his hand, a fog that could cover the light and induce the fall of all things was emitted … This fog seemed to be the "nameless fog" that shrouded the surface of the earth and led the world into the Eternal Night Era.
"If you want to play, let's play more exciting. I'll go straight to the poker!
I'll bet on the [First Primordial] cultivated by the boss. This guy's performance in the last Primordial Competition was too amazing.
Among these little guys, he should be the only one who can fight against a mythical body head-on.
Although this kid has the crazy blood of the boss, he has an unusual calmness. He is still waiting for the opportunity outside the [Giant City Wall].
I guess when the time is right, he will choose to attack forcefully to speed up the pace of the game and make it interesting. "
The chips printed with the fog icon were all pushed to the side of a model with long curly hair and a twisted posture.
Just as this person said, the model was still outside the city wall, waiting for a certain opportunity … The whole body exuded a crazy aura.
Although the odds were only 1: 1.4.
Many guests would still bet part of their chips, or even all of their chips, on this model.
After a while, it was a lady's turn.
She was wearing an extremely seductive and sexy black dress.
A forest of rotting sheep seemed to be hidden in the hem of the dress. Her hair, which looked like branches and vines, fell on her shoulders.
There was a goat's hoof imprinted on her unusually beautiful face.
Even though this lady was like a carrier of "temptation," the guests at the scene had no intention of doing so. Or rather, they didn't dare to have any relevant thoughts.
"Nine chips, bet on Sally … and one on this little guy."
The chips that symbolized a high-grade land deed were casually thrown out.
Nine goat's hoof chips fell next to the model of Sally with goat's hoof. The odds displayed were 1: 2.7.
The last chip fell on a model next to Sally.
It was just an ordinary model without the mark of the Atavistic Body. The odds given by the bartender were 1: 19.
As this chip fell on this ordinary model, the bartender revealed a rare smile.
Immediately after.
It was the turn of the old man in a captain's outfit whose boots were constantly overflowing with seawater.
Without saying anything, he directly divided the chips with the octopus imprinted on them in half. Half was given to a powerful subordinate under him, and the other half was given to the ordinary model chosen by the lady in front of him.
Just when everyone was surprised and thought that this old man had too many land deeds in his hands and wanted to give them away for free.
The gray man in a small vest waved his hand and bet all the chips with the faceless head on this ordinary model. He even showed a happy expression and whistled cheerfully.
The first "fog man" who bet was surprised. He seemed to be very familiar with the gray man and asked curiously,
"What's this little guy? Why don't you give some chips to the boss's descendants? "
"It's just a game … Since it's rare for everyone to get together, let's play more exciting.
It's just a few land deeds. Anyway, trouble is coming soon. Giving out a few land deeds can reduce my personal pressure. "
