47. Gambling Dogs

At the end of the starry galaxy, on the gambling table made of stars, the shadows belonging to the fate bone dice in the hands of the two gambling dogs shattered in the extremely dim.

This represents the end of the sixth round.

They have used up all the chips that can interfere in this game of fate, and the fate bone die that has completed the mission has also become dim.

There is no longer the divine light that shone before.

"Oneiroi."

The old gambling dog Cyber ​​Hawk was smoking a cigar, he leaned lazily on the chair, turned his head and said to the recorder of the game:

"It's about to enter the settlement round... As the recorder of the story, shouldn't you inform everyone about the current situation?"

"Of course I can tell you."

With a cloth strip covering his face, a quill in his hand, long hair hanging over his shoulders, and wearing a long robe, the elegant Oneiroi still didn't stop writing the story in his hand.

He whispered in a very magnetic voice:

"But it depends on what you want to hear... Want to hear about Mr. Merlin's love life?"

"Not interested in!"

Tyrion, the god of death on the other side of the gambling table, reached out and brushed his long gray hair. The elf with blindfold said coldly:

"Zuoyou is just a flirtatious guy, I'm not interested in knowing how many women he has exchanged bodily fluids with... Let's talk about something more important!"

"Don't be so boring, Your Excellency Dawnblade."

Overlord leaning on the chair shook his hand and threw out a cigar, he said softly while he was puffing:

"The end is coming soon, and we will most likely never see Mr. Merlin again, so just listen."

"Be patient, let us also record this interesting story..."

He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and Dream God stopped writing. The blind man with gauze on his face was flipping through the book in his hand.

A few seconds later, he coughed lightly, and said in a familiar way:

"Mr. Mei Lin's love life can be said to be ill-fated. The first woman he met with character was Miss Lingdie, but the two hadn't contacted each other for many years."

"The first woman he had a real physical relationship with was Carol Danvers, but it was a pity that the time they spent together was less than a week, and then Miss Carol was in some kind of 'special' Under the influence of 'factors', go far away from the stars."

Having said that, Dream God turned his head and "looked" at Bawang where the old god was.

The latter said to the Oneiroi with a wooden face:

"What do you think I mean? Are you accusing me of cheating? You have to show evidence~ Otherwise, even if our relationship is so good..."

"I did not say anything."

Oneiroi shrugged his shoulders, ignored the overlord's sophistry, and continued to speak loudly:

"The one who truly has a lover-like relationship with Mr. Merlin is Miss Elsa Bloodstone. Unfortunately, before the two confessed, Miss Bloodstone had to stay away from Mr. Merlin because of the strange hoarfrost infection."

After saying these words, Oneiroi "looked" at the indifferent Tyrion Dawnblade again.

The latter was expressionless.

There was a murmur among the onlookers of the game.

Everyone knows that this gamble is definitely not clean.

But they really did not expect that Lord Tyrion, who is not obvious on the surface, seems to have moved some hands and feet.

"After both Carol and Miss Bloodstone left Lord Merlin under the trick of 'fate', our gentleman's luck has improved strangely..."

Oneiroi continued:

"Ms. Lingdie and Miss Zatanna have been in contact with Mr. Merlin under the influence of various factors one after another. Moreover, this is only a biological relationship with him."

"If you count admirers, it's even more."

"For example, Ms. Maria Hill, such as Miss Liana... Well, seeing how impatient your expressions are, I won't waste time on this."

Oneiroi looked through his records with some regret, and said softly:

"Let me talk about something you are more interested in."

"After six rounds of interference and destiny's choice, Merlin will face a terrifying dark force in the settlement round. They have united together and stood under the banner of 'order' raised by Hydra."

"They have their own ghosts and thoughts, but they put aside their conflicts for the time being, and vow to smash everything that Merlin guards!"

Oneiroi's voice became low, and he said:

"And on Merlin's side, he is also prepared for this coming end."

"A rough fate brought him not only enemies, but also many allies..."

"The Avengers, the X-Men, the Inhumans, and the... entanglement left by the stories he has experienced in the past."

"When someone raises the banner of evil and tries to destroy good things, there must be someone who will stand up bravely and become a partner of justice..."

Oneiroi's tone became gentle again. He picked up a pen and wrote on the blank paper in the book in his hand. He said:

"It's a story about God."

"These gods are familiar to people, praised by people, hated by people, and feared by people. They used to be protectors and destroyers in the eyes of mortals..."

"But they are high above, they have unimaginable power, and at the same time there are sharp contradictions with each other."

"When the angel blows the horn of the end times and the gods fight each other, what fate will the world face?"

"Well, a great story..."

Oneiroi said:

"You'll call it 'The Endgame,' and I, I'll call it..."

"Kingdom Comes! (ps.1)"

The moment Oneiroi wrote, a ray of light shone from the page.

But neither the Overlord nor the Grim Reaper will be disturbed by this poetic description.

"You said so much that you didn't say anything..."

Overlord said coldly:

"Don't be stupid, Oneiroi, you know what we are most concerned about...Merlin, has he prepared for the endgame?"

"Yes, I have."

Oneiroi said:

"There are many, Cytorak's ruby, the three magic weapons, and..."

"Not these!"

Death also interjected in a cold tone:

"He means, the real 'hole card'!"

"Oh, you said that."

A strange smile flashed across the handsome face of Oneiroi, and he said softly:

"He has..."

"And there's more than one."

"But unfortunately, even if I tell you, you can no longer interfere with him..."

"A game always has a result. Is it winning? Or losing? Or, will it escape the control of the gamblers and enter the third or even the fourth possibility?"

Dream God's words made this space become dead silent at this moment.

The meaning of this recorder is already obvious.

The protagonist in this game, Merlin Riley, in his nearly 40 years of game life, did not sit still and wait for the end to come, he made a resistance.

When no one found out, he had already held a card in his hand, that slight possibility of rebelling against the gamblers.

Even if...

He may only have one card in his hand!

"hehe"

Overlord let out a laugh without a smile on his face, he ignored the Oneiroi, he looked at the other side of the gambling table, and said to the expressionless Grim Reaper:

"Aren't you surprised?"

"Why should I be surprised?"

Tyrion, still resting on his chin with intertwined fingers, said:

"My victory condition is not that he wins or loses..."

"Even if he died in this so-called 'Heavenly Kingdom Come' battlefield, it has nothing to do with me..."

"Is it such a coincidence?"

Overlord raised his eyebrows and said:

"My victory conditions are not that simple. Speaking of which, this game has been played for 6 rounds, and we haven't announced the victory conditions yet..."

He looked towards the center of the gaming table, the Elder Universe who was taking the fate bone dice away from the gaming table, he said:

"Can the victory conditions be announced now?"

"anytime."

The cosmic elder with a cool mohawk hairstyle grinned, revealing a hypocritical smile like an old casino dog.

He put his finger on the card with the victory conditions written on Overlord and Reaper, and he said:

"Do you want to announce it at this time? Both of you."

"Um."

The two gambling dogs nodded at the same time.

"Then... come to Your Excellency Tyrion first, after all, the visitor is a guest."

Gao Tianzun took out the ice blue card, he glanced at the contents of the card, and then showed the card.

The victory conditions of the Grim Reaper were translated into various languages ​​in the light like shattered ice, and exposed to the eyes of other onlookers.

"Your Excellency Tyrion Dawnblade's victory conditions:"

"Merlin Riley witnessed the weakness and unbearability of the order he guarded, and he finally decided to destroy it all. In the ruins of the collapse of the false order, he personally recast a new, more powerful order..."

"It doesn't matter, life or death..."

"How cunning!"

Overlord knocked on the table, he said dissatisfied:

"So regardless of whether he is dead or alive in the end, you still have a chance... Is the game going to be protracted again? I'm getting impatient."

"Are you not capable enough?"

Death ruthlessly mocked:

"The focus is on the front, not the back."

"Destroy everything by hand and rebuild?"

Overlord rubbed his chin, he didn't mind being ridiculed, he said:

"Well, I've read your story, it really is your style..."

The god of death made a gesture, and the elder of the universe took out the card that was shining like a fire, took a look at it, and then showed it as before.

"His Excellency Cyber ​​Hawk's victory conditions:"

"Merlin Riley has gone through many hardships and realized that without power, nothing can be protected, whether it is order, peace, relatives, or family, so he decided to embrace power..."

"Whether that's what he likes or what he hates."

"Snapped"

Death knocked on the table, he looked at the expressionless Overlord, and said:

"There is a problem with this victory condition..."

"What's the meaning?"

Overlord said:

"Is there something wrong with your comprehension?"

"I just said you were playing with words!"

Tyrion said coldly:

"What is 'hug power'?"

"Accepting Cytorak's ruby ​​is also called embracing power..."

"But with Merlin's current situation and the situation he has to face, it is impossible for him to have the slightest hope of winning without using that thing!"

"As you know my story, I know yours, Mr. Sable."

Tyrion reached out and touched his blindfold, he said:

"In your heart, your family will always come first. For them, you will not hesitate to destroy the whole world...so you hope Merlin can make the same choice as you."

"But you, like me, have experienced many, many challenges. You and I have embraced the power we hate..."

"But because of that, we're also all aware of the diversity of power, I mean..."

"You have to give a more detailed explanation for this! A more precise definition!"

"That's right."

Elder Universe also frowned and said to Overlord:

"Your condition is too vague. If it is a word game... this is not what a qualified gambler should do."

"Well, you have so many requests!"

Saibo snorted dissatisfiedly, he turned his head to look at the projection in front of the gaming table, and said:

"What Merlin has to face is a chaotic and disorderly world. If he wants to protect everything around him in such a world, he must hold strong power."

"Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D., X-Men, Inhumans, Aliens, Wizards, Omnics, Sons of Hell...these are not enough!"

Overlord pursed his lips and said:

"I've made arrangements for him..."

"You'll see."

Overlord's explanation was very vague, but everyone present understood what he meant. Even if the game had progressed to this point, Overlord still held back.

What a crafty fellow!

"In that case..."

Elder Universe looked at the two gambling dogs on the gaming table, and he looked at them, asking for their opinions with his eyes.

Overlord and Reaper nodded at the same time, indicating that they had no doubts.

"Then, I announce that the last round, the settlement round, now..."

"Wait, I have objections!"

The voice of Oneiroi sounded leisurely at this moment. The handsome guy wearing gauze raised his head and said to Elder Universe and the two gambling dogs:

"What about the third option?"

"I know that there is a character in this game that shouldn't appear... She has a very close relationship with the Overlord, and she has won Mr. Death's understanding, but the problem is..."

"She also gave Merlin a choice."

Oneiroi's fingers flicked, and the scene of Merlin meeting the Supreme Mage appeared before everyone's eyes. He said:

"In Merlin's hand, there is...'Exit'."

"He won't quit!"

Overlord said in a deep voice:

"If he dares to withdraw, I will crush him to death with my own hands!"

"Indeed, judging from Merlin's life trajectory, even when he was at his weakest, he never escaped..."

Death nodded and said:

"I also don't think he's going to 'quit' at this last moment, throwing everything away and becoming a coward with nothing."

"There are no absolutes in this world."

Dream God said without hesitation:

"What if he disappoints you? What if he disappoints everyone?"

Under the coercion of Oneiroi, Overlord and Death looked at each other.

When they faced the Supreme Mage who sneaked into the game before, they discussed this issue and reached an agreement in secret. Now it seems that the agreement was not hidden from Oneiroi.

This guy seemed to feel that he was being fooled, so he deliberately jumped out at this time to criticize.

But the two gambling dogs couldn't refute it.

"Then what do you say?"

Overlord narrowed his eyes, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Apparently, the fact that Oneiroi was pointing the finger at the Sorcerer Supreme with whom he had a close relationship made him very unhappy.

The god of death also said just now that for the sake of his family, a lunatic like Saibo can destroy the world with his own hands...

But Oneiroi didn't care, this handsome blind man didn't seem to feel the overlord's undisguised murderous aura at all.

He waved his hand, and the beautifully shaped quill spun twice on his fingertips, and then fell back between the Oneiroi. The recorder said with a smile:

"Well, if Merlin quits..."

"Then, both of you will lose! This pocket universe that is about to be completely complete and will be born will also be free because of this..."

Oneiroi stood up, "looked" at the two gambling dogs, and said:

"you..."

"Agree?"
