A new game.
It began.
This is the "Game of the Brave."
Maryse opened her eyes and was surprised to find herself sitting calmly in a somewhat empty, white room.
And sitting beside her was none other than Amy’s robot, seated in a wheelchair, with an expressionless face.
Is it just the two of us?
After processing the information in her mind, Amy paused for a moment and exclaimed, "Oh, I see! Amy, is it just the two of us participating in the game this time?"
Amy nodded gently and said, "I have detected… a formidable enemy."
Upon hearing this, Maryse’s expression also grew serious.Game of the Brave.
If they could win in this game, Babel Tower would directly triumph.
However, winning this game was as difficult as reaching the heavens… The information given by the Savior was that the opponents had tampered with the rules.
They were about to face the mighty beings of the gods!
Oh my heavens!
I have to deal with god-level strong beings? This is way too difficult! Maryse could only pray that luck would be on her side in the game.
Their opponents also had two "people".
Silver light shimmered nearby, forming two figures that emerged from the tower, the participants of the game.
Maryse’s eyes froze for a moment, then she was engulfed by fear, unable to control herself.
The two participants of the game in the tower, the first one was over five meters tall, with six arms, and eight eyes blinking on its face, like a gigantic creature resembling a standing walrus.
Maryse wasn’t sure who this person was, but Amy, who had access to Noah’s vast database, knew exactly who he was.
It was filled with Pride.
The first member of the Tower organization to arrive at Noah, who was then killed by Bai Yan during a game duel.
Although she was a loser, Amy knew that it wasn’t weak at all.
Pride was not only one of the strongest in the Apocalypse, but also one of the few core members of the Tower. It had always stayed by Solitary’s side, along with Timidity, without ever changing its position.
The members on other positions had changed more than once.
And the other person…
It wasn’t someone else.
It was… the true embodiment of solitude!
Amy’s voice was icy and heartless, "I remember that according to the rules, the people who participate in a two-player game can also join in the final battle… That’s why you are personally entering the field right now."
"Solitary, you are undoubtedly the biggest threat to Babel Tower."
"In this game, we have only a 13% chance of winning against you."
Solitary gazed calmly at Amy.
He didn’t say anything.
The mere presence of him standing there had already made Maryse and Amy’s souls tremble, as deep within this man’s soul lurked something dreadful.
Maryse muttered, "More bad luck than good, this situation… I didn’t expect that guy to choose both of us for the battle."
"Um, I am not surprised at all."
Amy was very calm and said indifferently, "I am strong and composed, suited for playing all kinds of games… It is a perfectly normal choice to send me."
Maryse was taken aback and couldn’t help but quip, "Amy, you really have no shame at all, not a bit humble…"
In that moment, Pride also calmly assessed the two opponents, but in its eyes, they simply didn’t exist.
Until this day, Pride also reminisced about the past.
It couldn’t forget its past, being defeated by a young human.
"Hehehe, just came back to life not long ago, and already started another game of dueling… that’s great! But if I have the chance, I still want to get revenge on that human boy."
With its eight proud eyes blinking incessantly, Pride took a deep breath and said:
"That person… was a rare and almost unbeatable opponent, who once gave me suffocating pressure… It was so terrifying."
Speaking of this, it fell into deep thought.
Unfortunately, there was no way to have another battle with that boy.
"You will have another chance," Solitary spoke calmly.
Maryse, who felt overlooked, became a little displeased and shouted, "Hey, don’t underestimate us! We’re still here… If we win, that means you lose directly, right?"
She glared fiercely at the two terrifying beings and declared in a loud voice, "Within the rules of this game, there is a ‘no attacking’ rule… Well, that’s good. Since that’s the case, we have a chance of winning."
If the game could be ended through combat, Maryse would have started cursing at the Savior right now.
Indeed, there was a rule of "no attacking."
If this game follows the same rules as a tug-of-war, then there is no need for both parties to compare strength. Solitary, as a powerful god-level being, could easily defeat the two with just a single strike.
"No worries."
Pride laughed with arrogance, his voice deep but thunderous. "The winner will surely be us! If we cannot triumph in the ‘Death Game’, then being a member of the ‘Tower’ organization holds no meaning."
Our way is to determine everything through games; existence is irrelevant.
Suddenly, a massive square table appeared in front of the four individuals. It was covered with a sheet filled with events, resembling a map from a Monopoly-like game.
And in the far right corner of the map, there were four game pieces, magically resembling the appearance of each of the game participants themselves.
Finally, a dice the size of a human head descended from the sky and rolled onto the ground.
"Knock, knock, knock…"
It finally arrived in front of Pride.
"It seems that I am the very first."
A limb, unlike that of a human but more resembling the skin of a walrus or a whale, reached down and picked up the rolling dice from the ground.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It confidently threw the dice.
"This game, luck is very important."
The six-sided dice immediately rolled on the ground, Pride chuckled confidently, attempting to manipulate the dice with its telekinetic power, but soon realized its own failure.
"It seems cheating won’t work," it said, looking at Solitary, who shook his head in response.
The dice were bestowed with the divine power of the God of Games. Even Solitary, who possessed this power, couldn’t manipulate it freely… While he had indeed assimilated a fraction of this divine power, it didn’t mean he could do as he pleased in the game.
Finally, the dice yielded the number four.
A chess piece that resembled Pride moved forward four spaces on the game board.
All eyes were drawn towards them.
In the end, the chess piece landed on the "Karmic Grid," with Pride’s piece accumulating 15 points of karma.
In this Game of the Brave, ‘Karma’ was a very important element.
In the game, Karmic Power represented the ability to defeat opponents in battle. Only by accumulating higher amounts of Karmic Power could one emerge victorious when encountering other chess pieces in the same grid. Once victorious, one could seize all the "gold coins" and "treasures" possessed by the opponent, gaining a tremendous advantage.
But Karma also had side effects.
When the chess pieces were in certain squares, if their Karmic Power was too high, they would encounter danger.
Moreover, once a chess piece’s Karmic Power reached 100, they would immediately face "Divine Punishment" and die, returning to the first square to start over… Basically, there would be no possibility of winning.
Power, indeed, is very tempting, but if too much power cannot be controlled, it will bring forth dreadful consequences.
It was Maryse’s turn next.
The dice rolled in front of her.
"Just make sure the chess piece reaches the finish line, okay?"
Maryse looked towards the end of the map and saw that there were a total of 100 squares. Even if she rolled a six every time, it would take more than ten rounds to reach the finish line.
Meanwhile, along the way, various events will be encountered, and players also have resources to manage such as "gold coins," "treasures," and "karma."
Although luck certainly plays a big role, it’s not just a game of luck. It also requires… other things.
"Okay, I cast my vote!"
Maryse didn’t hesitate and threw the enormous dice. With a thud, the dice landed on the ground, but it didn’t roll at all.
One point!
