Chapter 587: The Game of Luck
Bai Yan could not directly give the Ruin-level Relic to them within the game.
Although the rules stated “no mutual attacks and harm,” there was nothing to indicate that participants could not steal each other’s belongings.
Thus, if Bai Yan were to simply hand over the Ruin-level Relic to Maryse and Amy in the game room, it would be easy for Solitary to just wave his hand and take the Relic for himself in the next scene.
If that were to happen, Bai Yan would have no choice but to sacrifice himself by crashing into the Babel Tower at the first opportunity!
Moreover, outside of the game, Bai Yan—who was not a player—wanted to intervene with the Ruin-level Relic. He had already been trying to do so.
Another approach would be to temporarily give the Relic to Maryse and Amy when they were sent to separate locations, then retrieve it after.
Cheating… Bai Yan was already doing it.
His plan was to use the Ruin-level Relic to alter the game’s rules.
However, this would take some time.
Next, it was Pride’s turn to roll the dice again.
The dice landed on a 2 this time. After moving Pride’s game piece two spaces forward, nothing significant happened.
Then came Amy, followed by Solitary, and lastly Maryse…
Thus, the group continued to roll the dice one after another.
The game went on.
The huge dice rolled across the ground, displaying different numbers each time. Then the players’ game pieces advanced, at times even moving backward.
Soon, five rounds had passed.
Once again, Maryse’s dice landed on a trap space!
The inscription on the space read…
“You will be consumed by the nightmare of water, and the traces of this place will disappear forever… The chess piece automatically jumps to the next empty square, but all the coins on it are lost.”
Fortunately, Maryse’s piece didn’t have any coins to lose. She hummed lightly, feeling rather pleased instead.
Though it was a trap square, it was actually a beneficial outcome.
Her chess piece leapt seven squares in one go!
Like a bird soaring through the air, it cleared obstacles and landed on the next unoccupied square!
“Not bad, not bad!”
With a sly grin, Maryse suddenly vanished into thin air.
Amy wasn’t surprised. She knew exactly what Maryse was about to face—the “attack” that awaited her.
Nothing bad would happen.
Amy understood that Maryse was extremely powerful, far stronger than she had been in the previous Savior era.
In the years since, Maryse had become even more proficient in using chaos magic.
Maryse opened her eyes and was stunned to find herself submerged deep in the sea!
It was pitch black!
The immense pressure threatened to tear her apart, causing blood to seep through her durable, semi-divine skin. The surroundings were incredibly dim, lacking any light, contributing to an eerie, dreadful atmosphere.
It felt as though she was falling into an abyss.
How deep was this sea?
Why had the pressure already harmed her skin, even though she wasn’t actively defending herself…
In the next instant, Maryse summoned her psychic power, enveloping her body and counteracting the pressure. She instantly healed her injuries with the Blood of Darkness.
Over the years, she had combined the Chaotic Magic’s ability to “influence reality with emotions” with her psychic powers.
Now, Maryse wasn’t just able to control others with her psychic abilities; she could also alter reality on a vast scale using them.
Should she escape from here on her own?
As a demigoddess, Maryse could survive in this deep-sea environment for centuries—or even millennia—without needing food or water. Her body could endure until her mind snapped or her will faded… but she wouldn’t experience a mental breakdown, especially since she excelled in psychic powers.
Maryse could easily fortify her mind, remaining immune to mental collapse or aging.
Just then, violent waves began to churn in the sea.
Maryse sensed it—a terrifying power, almost impossible to believe, was gathering, ready to release itself!
But it wasn’t the power of a superbeing or monster.
It was coming from a thousand meters below!
A super volcano was about to erupt!
In her perception, the volcano’s might was overwhelming. The eruption would easily destroy an area the size of hundreds of cities. If she didn’t escape, she would certainly perish here!
Maryse quickly used her magical powers to influence reality, propelling herself to flee!
But it wasn’t fast enough! The volcano’s eruption was imminent.
Damn it!
She cursed angrily in her mind.
Boom!
With a thunderous roar, accompanied by an immense shockwave, everything in the deep sea was obliterated, and Maryse was on the verge of being overtaken by this catastrophic force.
Damn it! Oh, Savior, please save me!
Just as Maryse cried out in her heart, she noticed something strange—a peculiar mirror appeared in front of her.
In the boundless darkness, this mirror emitted its own light, making it impossible for Maryse to ignore it.
And then, in the blink of an eye.
She vanished together with the mirror.
This object…
In a daze, Maryse found herself on a calm sea, with an endless white sky above and seven moons shining brightly.
Her heart still raced, while the mirror floated calmly in front of her.
“The power of the Ruin-level Relic is truly impressive.”
Realm of Infinity, Ever-changing Facade.
She gazed at the mirror, unable to resist the thought that this was indeed the legendary Ruin-level Relic.
Maryse reached out to take hold of the famed mirror before her.
“Or, what if I just don’t return it to the Savior?”
But before she could seize the mirror, she suddenly vanished from that world and awoke back in the white game room.
At the same time, the Ruin-level Relic, known as “Realm of Infinity, Ever-changing Facade,” disappeared without a trace.
Maryse pouted, feeling deeply disappointed that she couldn’t keep the Ruin-level Relic.
“It seems you’ve successfully passed the challenge.”
Pride narrowed its eight yellow eyes, looking into Maryse’s eyes, as if trying to read something in her gaze.
“Interesting… I get the sense that you little one… received some help. Are you trying to cheat?”
Maryse sensed that the creature already knew that she and her team were planning to cheat.
It just hadn’t said it outright.
Hmm, even if you know, so what?
She smiled gently, continuously attempting to probe the other’s thoughts with her mental powers, but failed repeatedly… As for his solitary guard, Maryse never tried to delve into the divine’s thoughts.
“It’s fine, let’s continue,” Pride laughed arrogantly, adding, “The more interesting the game, the better. Ha ha ha!”
It, completely unperturbed.
No matter what tricks or schemes, Pride remained unfazed.
It was indeed very proud.
Boasting that few could surpass it in the game of death.
Pride lacked natural power, but it had a unique ability from birth, one that stemmed from a mysterious force deep within the soul.
It was the story of “absolute luck” and “absolute misfortune.”
Whenever Pride participated in games—of any kind—the luck of those around it would gradually be absorbed, while the luck of all “enemies” would slowly fade away.
Misfortune would always fall upon its enemies, while good fortune would forever belong to it.
Pride rolled the dice once more.
A six.
Alright.
Pride’s eight eyes narrowed.
Solitary, along with his isolation, had already absorbed enough luck. From now on, every dice roll would yield the best results.
They had already won.
“What a shame, the little ones from Babel Tower, in a game of luck… I am invincible.”
