Chapter 584: Cheating
Another game came to an end.
The two of them met again amidst a shimmering silver glow.
Bai Yan, dressed in black robes, calmly gazed at the other person, mimicking a face identical to his own.
"You lost again."
"…"
Solitary remained as indifferent as ever, showing no emotional fluctuations. Moreover, Bai Yan could sense a deep-seated confidence within the other person, as if this man didn’t believe he could ever lose.
Clearly, the Tower organization has already reached the edge of the cliff.
But until now, Solitary believed that he would still emerge victorious.
However, as long as they lost this round, Bai Yan’s Babel Tower would directly claim a major victory, without the need to continue the competition. The outcome of the fifth round would become completely inconsequential.
The current situation was extremely unfavorable for Solitary.
He had to win the remaining two team games in order to turn the tables with a single stroke of success!
Where did this guy’s confidence in victory come from? Bai Yan couldn’t guess at the moment.
But even if the other party had an advantage, it wouldn’t make him afraid, because he hadn’t given his all yet.
Although the Babel Tower Tactical Card and Entertainment Card were mostly depleted by Mu Ling over a decade ago, little did she know that she still possessed… powerful Ruin-level Relics to utilize.
"Thousands of Ruins, Everything Is Used," "Realm of Infinity, Ever-changing Facade," and the witch’s "Overflowing in the World, Recording Everything"… Besides Babel Tower itself, she also possessed three powerful Ruin-level Relics, which she could offer to the members of Babel Tower at any time.
Being in possession of Ruin-level Relics made them even stronger, and they could easily defeat opponents who were technically superior.
He should have been aware of the true strength of the members of Babel Tower.
So, where does the solitary confidence come from?
Bai Yan didn’t understand.
But from then on, Bai Yan could only take one step at a time… Although he had already obtained the winning point of the entire game, Bai Yan remained constantly alert. There had been too many instances of "turning the tables with a drop of blood" in various games, and it was all too common.
Before truly winning the victory, remember not to "celebrate halfway" yet.
Compared to pride, arrogance appears even more elevated when contrasted with weakness, ignorance, and foolishness.
"The fourth game."
The voice of solitude remained devoid of emotions.
Next to him were countless paper tags, each bearing the name of a game.
Bai Yan’s vision had long surpassed the limits of humans, allowing him to see each paper tag clearly. However, he couldn’t see the contents of the games… They were concealed with information until being drawn out.
This was the God of Games’ relatively fair approach. Otherwise, the Solitary, as the drawer, would be able to determine the content of each game.
But honestly, Bai Yan never believed that games were fair… And besides, Solitary, as the game initiator, could add rules. Where’s the fairness in that?
"That’s the one."
Solitary remained silent for a moment and once again, picked one random paper among the many.
A new game.
"Game of the Brave"
Bai Yan furrowed his brow, then quickly realized what it meant… This was a type of "tabletop game," also known as a board game.
At the same time, this word also comes from a movie.
He had watched that movie before, so he had a little understanding of it.
In this game, all the participants gather around a tabletop map and roll the dice. Then, as if playing a game similar to Monopoly, they move their characters forward on a map filled with various events.
Then, the characters have to deal with the many events happening on the map… In fact, it is actually the players themselves who have to face all sorts of events.
And the only way to win the game and successfully complete it is to guide your character to reach the end of the map.
In the Game of the Brave, the various events encountered are mostly dangerous. Although the dangers in the movie are trivial for super beinges, Bai Yan believes that the dangers in this game will be even more terrifying.
And dangers of the rule type are difficult to contend with, even for those with great strength.
Bai Yan sank into deep thought.
Just at that moment, Solitary announced his newly added rule.
His tone remained calm and steady.
"So, there were new rules added… it was forbidden for Babel Tower god-level members to join, but Tower god-level members were allowed to provide assistance!"
Bai Yan blinked slightly in surprise.
This rule is completely unfair!
No, it’s not right!
Even as the God of Games, the creator of the Dueling Game, he shouldn’t have proposed such rules!
Bai Yan suddenly looked up, fully aware of the changes in this game. Amidst the endless silver light around him, there was a faint hint of darkness.
That was the power of Solitary!
He asked, "So, have you already eroded His power?"
Solitary nodded gently, calmly admitting:
"Good, although the difference in power between me and Him is vast… after spending thousands of years analyzing this divine power, I finally succeeded in integrating it to a small extent. It can open a little backdoor at a crucial moment."
"There are only two games… In the next two games, the moment will come when I can open the ‘backdoor’… It also means that you will undoubtedly lose in the next game."
Solitary paused for a moment and asked:
"What? The false Savior of the Babel Tower… are you trying to say it’s unfair?"
Solitary actually cheated.
As everyone knows, there is an impassable chasm between gods and non-divine superhumans.
The latter wanted to defeat the former, with the possibility being infinitely close to zero.
It had become incredibly unfair!
Solitary waited in anticipation for the other to respond.
However, Bai Yan’s behavior turned out to be beyond his expectations.
This man didn’t blame him for cheating.
Instead, he showed a slightly excited and puzzling smile.
"Crack."
Bai Yan gently clapped his hands, feeling even more wild and extravagant. He seemed like a pleasure-seeker rather than a indifferent Savior.
Although deep down, they were all simply expressing their own personalities.
He smiled and said, "Indeed, it’s unfair, but I don’t want to immaturely blame and curse, because this game has been inherently unfair from the very beginning. The resources and information we both hold are vastly different… Well, it’s fine now. I’ll consider you as giving it your all, Solitary!"
Bai Yan, of course, didn’t blame the other person.
This game was unfair from the very beginning.
And, in fact, it was our own side that was unfair!
The members of the Babel Tower who became stronger through the "Babel Tower" game, were actually "cheating," weren’t they?
Nowadays, in the mysterious magic world, Alan’s various "values" far surpassed Amicio from the very beginning. Is it fair to let them compete on the same stage?
What a joke.
In the real world, there has never been absolute fairness in the game!
Bai Yan understood this well.
Actually, since Solitary revealed his true cards to play, he instead felt a bit more relaxed.
Perhaps the things that have been hidden all along are even more powerful.
"Ah, I see," Solitary nodded in understanding.
He had already come to understand what kind of person the man before him really was.
Bai Yan smiled gently.
Since he wanted to treat everything in life as a game, he naturally had to learn to accept the unfairness of this world and see it as a challenge… And then conquer it, break it apart, and ultimately achieve victory.
"Pop, pop, pop."
He clapped his hands and exclaimed,
"Finally getting interesting, the first three games without Solitary were making me fall asleep. Come on, Nian… let me witness your ‘brave’ game."
