In the instant that Saber destroyed the Quantum Observer, his final warning echoed throughout the universe. He did not appear to be in pain when he died — perhaps to a being of absolute rationality and material thought, death was a necessary step that was not worth the pain and despair — it was merely a matter of time being brought forward.
However, there was another being who was extremely dissatisfied with the sacrifice of such absolute power.
Bang!
In a certain special dimension, the Chaos that gave birth to all life swayed back and forth in the disordered time, causing new life to be born every second in this narrow dimension. However, in the next second, they would be broken down into the original Chaos. This was a world before all life was born, and Order had yet to exist. It was a dimension that was temporarily opened, and would soon be abandoned.
The advantage of the absence of Order was that the dimension could accommodate two or more opposing forces, allowing them to reach an odd balance amidst the Chaos.
Be that as it may, it was not a cruel battlefield.
"You're cheating!"
A hazy and hoarse voice sounded in the darkness of the dimension, accompanied by the sound of something being knocked. He said with a trace of disdain and ridicule, "Since when did the elders of the universe, who took gambling as their life's meaning, learn to cheat? I thought that was a despicable trick that only dark beings like me would use! "
"You're still the same, Barbatos. Every thought you have is from the most disgusting angle, treating every being as trash like you!"
Seated on the other side of the dark round table was the Elder of the Universe, Gao Tianzun, who was a gambler. He had changed into a blue gown and was wearing a rare star crown. Faced with the accusation of his opponent, Elder Barbatos from the Dark Multiverse, he retorted without a hint of anger.
"On the day the bet was confirmed, you personally saw him! Don't tell me you were blind that day! Fairness is a quality that must be maintained for gamblers like us, perhaps even more important than existence itself. I'm warning you, Barbatos! "
Heavenly Sage Gao's voice became solemn. "Apologize to me for your shameless slander!"
"Slander?!"
Not to be outdone, Barbatos's voice wafted from the darkness. "You say I'm slandering you? Open your eyes and take a look, dear gamblers. Four months ago in the modern world, the warrior representing Lord Gao Tianzun, Seiber Hawke, was just a weak Father God. But now? Who can he hide from the radiance that shines from his body? That's a guy from a single universe … He shouldn't even be in this bet! "
His voice became sarcastic.
"Heavenly Sage Gao, a mortal transcending the shackles of life order in four months. If you're not cheating, then you're challenging our intelligence?"
"That's reasonable!"
"Heavenly Sage Gao, explain!"
"If you're cheating, Barbatos's victory!"
The moment Barbatos finished speaking, around the huge dark round table, several auras that were no weaker than Heavenly Sage Gao and Barbatos spoke up. They were full of threats. For a moment, the public opinion turned against Heavenly Sage Gao.
However, sitting beside Heavenly Sage Gao, the most famous collector in the multiverse, Tanya Devan, who had also changed into his most gorgeous clothes, had absolute confidence in his brother and the contestant he had chosen.
He touched the gorgeous pendant on his neck that shone in the chaos and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, please be my guest.
"Everyone, forgive me for being blunt, but no one here wants to lose. If any side wins, the other side will suffer losses. Under such circumstances, unfair accusations are unavoidable … That's right, I'm talking about you, Barbatos. You're slandering us."
His voice was elegant and sharp, and it went straight to the hearts of those who were yelling non-stop.
"Everyone here knows the story of the contestants by heart. I don't believe that my brother and I would be able to hide it from you if we cheated at the last minute. It's just that you're all so shameless. We're all very surprised that Syber Hawke managed to break through the Life Grade in just four months. However, there's no shortage of true geniuses in this universe. If this explanation isn't enough, I think we should invite a true and impartial witness to this matter."
"The Dream God and his Endless Library … Every memorable story in the infinite universe is stored there … Do you want us to take a look at Saber Hawke's story?"
Hum.
As soon as he finished speaking, an existence wearing a long robe and glowing with a ghostly white light appeared in the chaotic space. The most eye-catching thing about him was the layer of white gauze covering his eyes. He said softly, "The Endless Library doesn't welcome anyone.
"There's no need to go to the Endless Library … That place doesn't welcome overly powerful existences. You guys always like to casually modify things. That will make my library unjust. I've already heard your argument, so I brought this' Overlord's Trajectory '… This is his unfinished story. Do you want to hear it? Everyone? "
"Oh, my dear Dream God, are you also here to participate in this bet?"
Heavenly Sage Gao asked, while Barbatos was even more rude. "I don't want to hear any stories. Just tell us the answer. Did they cheat?"
Faced with these two questions, the Dream God hesitated for a moment before replying in a cold voice, "I don't like gambling.
However, I know that this story about Saber Hawke's great adventure will become an excellent heroic story. As for cheating … I can only say that the cunning Heavenly Sage Gao played a borderline game. Saber Hawke once asked him to find something for him, and Heavenly Sage Gao found the Black Lantern Ring for him … This isn't cheating, but it's very obvious that his actions directly led to Saber Hawke's advancement in life class. "
"Wow! How cunning! "
Barbatos' mocking voice sounded in the next moment. "It's just a borderline game. What should I say, my gambling friend … It seems like you're not that fair …"
Heavenly Sage Gao didn't reply. He only spread his hands unconcernedly.
"Are you deaf? Barbatos, I didn't cheat! "
"I don't care! If you can play a borderline game, that means I can too! "
The Ruler of the Dark Multiverse's fingertips, which resembled decaying white bones, flickered with dark radiance. His eyes swept across everyone at the gambling table under the gray hood, and he coughed softly.
"Then, I'll change the rules of this bet slightly. Does anyone have any objections?"
Heavenly Sage Gao's expression was gloomy as he spoke.
"You can only change the rules, Barbatos. My patience is limited!"
"Then what do you think I'll change?"
The Ruler of the Dark Multiverse snorted. "I'll kill him directly? No, no, no, that would be too boring. "
"First, I'll stipulate that in the new timeline, all Infinity Stones will return to nothingness!"
Hum …
As if it was a rule, the moment Barbatos finished speaking, Saber, who was standing within the borders of the Cree Empire and reaching out to grab the Power Stone in the new timeline, suddenly realized that the Universal Spirit Orb in front of him had mysteriously disappeared into the metal binding device as if it had never existed.
"Hahaha, how foolish!"
The Collector sitting beside Heavenly Sage Gao laughed as he pointed at Barbatos unceremoniously. "You can only change the new timeline, my friend. The two Infinity Stones that Saber brought back belong to the present world. You can't change it!"
"That's enough!"
Barbatos said coldly. "I just want to eliminate the existence of a bug. That's all. I'm not like you cheaters!"
"Finally, I'll change the victory condition!"
Under the gray hood, a hint of cunning flashed in the dark red eyes. "Since your Gladiator is already a single universe, it means that my carefully selected warriors are definitely not his match. If that's the case, I'll change the victory condition … I can see the surging darkness in this universe at a glance. No matter how hard your Gladiator works, it can't change its fate of extinction."
"If this world is destroyed, then I win!"
"You're the one who's cheating!"
Tanya Devan retorted loudly. "He was told that this is just a game, and he also treated this as a game. Then you made it a rule that he has to be a part of the game to maintain the integrity of this world … You're making things difficult for him, Barbatos!"
"So what?"
Barbatos sneered. "A single universe is already invincible in this weak timeline … Do I have to send more Dark Knights to kill him with numbers? What's the point of watching such a killing battle? "
"You see, I'm just betting on Saber Hawke's own will to win the bet. If he succumbs to the will of destruction and ignores the possible dangers in the universe, it means that he, who you have high hopes for, is just so-so … Human emotions are always the most unpredictable. The final result of such a bet is really unknown before it's revealed!"
Swoosh!
The dark wings on Barbatos' back opened as he shouted, "This is the real bet!
"This is the real gamble. This is the real meaning of the gamble! Absolute fairness! "
"Then let's vote!"
Gao Tianzun stopped his brother from retorting. He said in a low voice, "Everyone, let's vote. Those who agree with Barbatos' change, raise your hand!"
Swoosh! Swoosh!
In the blink of an eye, a dozen or so arms were raised on the gambling table. Even the Dream God, who was sitting off to the side, had raised his hand. He held a quill in his other hand, and a gentle smile appeared on his handsome face.
"This is what makes it interesting. This kind of inner interrogation is enough to make the core of this story complete and even transcend! I'm starting to look forward to the ending of this story! "
"Okay! Then let's do it! "
Gao Tianzun's eyes flashed. "Any choice other than destruction … Then it's my win!"
"Ha … How cunning!"
Barbatos snickered. Dark light danced on his fingertips. "But you'll lose for sure, Gao Tianzun. Because in this world, all paths … will lead back to … darkness."
Saber did not know what happened in the outer world, but he clearly understood the profound meaning that he had almost forgotten from the scene of the Universal Orb dissipating.
This was not a real world … This was just a game, and the rules of the game could be changed. The mysterious disappearance of the Infinity Stone, a treasure of the universe that originally existed in every multiverse, meant that one of the rules of this timeline had just been changed.
This made the dark fog shrouding in front of him even more unpredictable. Which path should he take to win the game?
He sat on the peak of the lonely mountain range in the center of Gotham, allowing the cold snowflakes and thick frost to completely submerge the mountain range. He was thinking, but every time he thought, the result would make him feel lost.
When he was in the game, it was difficult to look at everything from a detached third party's point of view.
Because he did not know if it meant that the game was completely over after he casually broke a window and casually executed a criminal. This kind of situation where his hands and feet were tied was very, very uncomfortable!
However, Seiber believed that a game that was taken seriously by an elder of the universe like Gao Tianzun wouldn't have such a ridiculous ending. There must be a new timeline and the final fate of this new world within it.
He could feel that this fate might be led by him and pushed forward by him.
And every choice he made would stack up and ultimately determine the ending of this game.
Just like a real card game, every choice was related to the final result!
Hum …
Amidst the dark light and shadow, the dark female warrior with the Thunder Blade and Ancient Teng Sword on her back, the new ninja master Thalia, appeared beside Saber. She bowed respectfully and said softly.
"Overlord, those 'heroes' have united … They are marching towards Gotham!"
"Oh?"
Saber's thoughts were interrupted. He turned his head to look at his ruthless new subordinate and asked in a deep voice.
"Why are they here?"
Thalia hesitated for a moment and replied, "They are here to banish and destroy your rule! They are here for their free will! "
"Fools!"
The ferocious figure of the war scythe suddenly appeared in Saber's hand. He stood up from the throne, and the whistling cold wind suddenly blew away at this moment. It was like the cold majesty of the Overlord, blowing towards the entire world in all directions.
"Freedom can't protect this world!"
"I want to put armor on it, I want to put fangs on it, I want to turn it into an invincible monster that can run amok among the stars … They are bound to the earth, and they only see the stars above their heads. They won't understand the meaning of this at all …"
Zeng …
The shining blade of light flashed before Saber's eyes and disappeared, illuminating his cold face.
"Fools will only waste precious resources …"
