Chapter 1664: Meeting
Chapter 1664: Meeting
"Seems like you got some support Zeus. Did you guys discuss this beforehand?" Sun Wukong of course didn't leave Hel behind.
"It's because my thought actually makes sense. You dumb monkey head."
"Yeah, sure. You are saying that because the woman who thought it was smart to rig a game that's being played by a dozen gods who are all at the top of the food chain, validated your idea. That is really smart of you.
Fucking idiot."
Zeus, clenched his fists and was really tempted to throw them at Sun Wukong's face, but he controlled himself pretty well.
"If you have a valid objection, then bring it forward. Otherwise, just shut the fuck up and let us make the decisions."
"Alright. I don't particularly have a problem with this. If you want to pit those kids against each other this fast, then do so by all means. I don't really give a fuck. But just say it as it is. Say that you want to pit them early so that your fucking player might get a head start with a win when the competition is still easy.
That is all you have to say. Why beat around the bush so much?"
"I already told you. Don't make those wild allegations. You might regret it later."
"Yeah, yeah. You and who else is coming to make me regret that? Just let me know. I am using a new solution for polishing my staff and I need to know how much I am going to need to clean my staff off the blood marks.
The blood marks from beating the shit out of you people."
Sun Wukong retorted nonchalantly.
As they are bickering, The Gambler hand enough and broke the constant bickering.
"Shut the fuck up. Both of you. I am fine with whatever you decide. My vote goes for both of your proposals. You want to start the task, let's do it. As far as I am concerned, no matter when this thing starts, my candidate is going to win.
Because he is always at a headstart."
His words silenced everyone. They all looked at him with blank expressions.
"Do you really need to throw that at our face, dude? You are a god for fuck's sake. You could have just been a bit more humble." Sun Wukong said casually.
"Yeah, whatever. The rest of you guys, just vote on what you think of this proposal and vote. I don't want to waste any more time here. I have things to do."
"Oh? You are working on something new?" Sun Wukong asked.
"Well, my player is going to reach the realms of gods soon enough. I need to prepare a place for him to rule."
"A new place? What do you mean? Don't tell e it is what I am thinking. It would be crazy."
"Well, it is what you are thinking. Why do you think I tamed the Void dragon? It to make the initial process easier."
"So, you are preparing for a realm war of gods and you are announcing it directly in front of all the gods from various factions? Are you crazy?"
"Maybe I am. It is not like I am scared of you guys. Maybe it is about time you know about this. You need to prepare after all. I might find a new purpose for all the troops you have been collection from all the people that are worshipping you over the centuries.
Anyway, you make your decision and just let me know. I am sure all the players can handle that shit. And if are doing this, you might as well, just send them to the task now. You don't need to wait for them to clear the first floor of the tower."
With that, he immediately left the room as if it is nothing important..
Hel looked at the whole scene with amusement. The rest of the gods are feeling a bit odd though. They heard what Sun Wukong and Gambler talked about.
A war is something they didn't have for dozens of centuries. Even the troops they gathered are for regular skirmishes and to manage their territories, explore new territories and just maintain their status as a powerful people.
It is like a cold war. Just to show off to other gods that they have the best troops, they have the best soldiers, they have the best generals.
They even put up some competitions now and then and wager on them.
But now Gambler told them that he is going to start a war real soon to occupy the territory of some other god. This is not new that they could digest easily.
Hel is the only one relaxed for some reason.
"We can think about other stuff later. I need to know if you want to start the task now or later. If you ask me, take Gamblers advice and do it now. From what I can see, this is the best time you can do it, particularly if you want to give Sam a bad start.
This is the only time you will have that chance."
Kartikeya and Sun Wukong didn't like this. Some of the gods are neutral. But there are some who are interested in this.
Hel knew they were interested and continued.
"I have been observing the towers since the start. Sam is behaving just like he always did. He is maxing out on the corruption before even suppressing it and he is storing the corruption in his body.
You do know what will happen if a person suppressing the hell's corruption comes out of the hell and stays in the living world for a while. The corruption is going to act up. His performance will be rock bottom.
You can just take this chance and a lucky candidate will get the first victory in the series of these events. If I were you, I wouldn't let this chance go."
"You really think so?" Hou Yi asked.
"Of course, in fact, he is currently battling with a pack of wolves in a suicidal way. As you have seen. If you pick a proper time, he will be high on active corruption within his body and also injured.
I also saw the list of limitations you are pulling for this task, so it is going to be a really good situation to put him in. Don't think too much and go with it."
"For a goddess who rules a good chunk of hell, you are awfully petty," Kartikeya muttered.
The bickering was about start once again, but Zeus interrupted and proposed a start of the vote.
The gods who lost their candidates also get to vote and with that majority, they voted that they should start the task immediately. Not even waiting until the first floors of all the towers are cleared.
Immediately, without any delay whatsoever.
They really took Hel's advice and decided to target Sam.
"So, are we going to pick lots to decide whose candidate gets to be on defense?"
"No, no lots. We are going to put Sam on defense since Gambler left the meeting in the middle irresponsibly."
"What kind of bullshit is that?"
Sun Wukong asked with a frown.
"Well, it is not bullshit. Generally, we would have presented a case and nominated different candidates, and mentioned why they should be on defense. The god in charge of that candidate will get to make a case against that.
But since Gambler is not here, he won't get to make a case and by default, he is going to lose. Sam is on defense by default."
Hel said and clicked something on a virtual screen in front of her.
Sam's image appeared and the word defense appeared right beside his image along with the task details.
"You are going to be in so much trouble. Gambler is in a mood for war, he might just start that with you."
"Yeah, it seems like you have forgotten that the rule between a celestial realm and hell-realm is not that easy."
"He does have a void dragon. It is going to make it easy for him. Even slightly."
"Let him try. I will be on defense at that time and let him wear himself out. No matter how good he is, hell is my terrain and I have a natural advantage regarding corruption. As long as I don't get out with my troops, I have nothing to lose."
Hel then casually started assigning the roles to the rest of the players at random.
"So, six people on offense and one person on defense. I will go and explain the task details to the candidates. Good luck to all of you."
Hel disappeared from the spot.
She reappeared in her realm within hell.
"We are going to have a lot of fun from now on Sam. I want to see how you will react after you are put in this position. With how much you hate being left behind, you are going to get a bunch of handicaps in this round. Let me enjoy your misery."
