Apocalypse: System of lotteries



Ming sat at the entrance of the tent in the temple, with Lavia standing behind him. The newly joined employees were now cleaning the battlefield and collecting resources.

At this moment, a towering figure appeared at the entrance of the temple. He wore golden armor and had a dog head with black skin, holding a scepter in his left hand and resting his right hand behind his back.

Ming quickly scanned with his [Hawk Eye]:

[Abdul-Jian-Damier-Kupa-Luo-Cape-Ralnasen..Set-Geb-Ra]

"…"

Ming blinked, the length of this name, if your mom calls you home for dinner, by the time you get there, the food would have gone sour.

[Weakness: Have you ever heard of the saying, 'the simpler the interface, the more powerful it is'?... Your electric hammer can break its Divine Defense, but you don't have any Wood-related skills, so it will be hard to wear down its Earth Defense... Its Divine Majesty only works on those who believe in God, do you believe in God?... This guy is immune to all common negative effects, you can only beat him head-on... Of course, there's an easier way, surrender~ Do you want to try it?]

"…"

After reading the profile, he was somewhat surprised. The 'God of the Desert' in front of him was not a zombie, nor was it a mindless beast, but a person from a small sect with thoughts! However, looking at it now, it had been transformed into a mutant.

But then again, should it be considered a 'live' test subject with normal thinking?

It remains to be proven!

At this time, everyone in the tent was standing behind Ming, staring at the black-skinned, golden-armored jackal man. They felt a sense of divinity, feeling small and unable to muster any desire to fight. They noticed that their boss and co-boss did not show any fluctuations. Was this the gap in strength?

"Boss~"

Lavia stared at the black-skinned jackal man, "How do we kill him?"

"Don't always talk about killing. We are civilized people."

Ming turned towards the black-skinned jackal man, Seth, and nonchalantly said, "Hello, do you need anything from us? If not, you can go. We need to take a bath and go to sleep."

"..."

The new employees in the tent collectively gasped. Boss... Isn't it a bit wrong to feign ignorance so blatantly?

"Heh~"

The God of the Desert, Seth, chuckled lightly and asked, "Have you... seen my pet?"

"Nope~"

Ming shook his head, then turned to Lavia, "Did you see his pet?"

Lavia also shook his head, "No, it should not be here with us."

"..."

The people standing behind them collectively fell silent. Yes, only you two could lie so smoothly and calmly.

Ming faced Seth, "You should ask elsewhere, it probably hasn't come here, it must be somewhere else."

"Indeed~"

Seth looked at the lion-headed human skull hanging on the giant stone pillar, "It indeed isn't here with you, it should be in heaven."

Ming laughed, "I told you it wasn't here with us~"

"..."

Seth chuckled lightly, "I give you two options, death; or become my servants, forever staying here to serve at my side. I give you 5 seconds to think."

Lavia interjected, "How about 10 seconds? We have many people and need more time to discuss."

"..."

The people inside the tent fell silent once again. The boss was unreliable, and you, the co-boss, were even more outrageous. Are you really bargaining at this moment?

Indeed, those who can make big business deals are different. Even when facing a god, they still can't avoid bargaining, right?

"..."

Seth couldn't understand why people on the verge of death... would bargain with him!

"Alright! 5 seconds it is!"

Ming agreed, "Wait a moment, let us discuss properly."

Then, he closed the tent door.

"Who is a wood Elementalist ?"

Ming urgently asked the crowd.

"Me!" Kelly immediately raised her hand in response.

Ming glanced at her and moved on, "You are too weak. Anyone else?"

Kelly felt uncomfortable. Did he really have to say it so bluntly? Boss, you are really too straightforward.

"Never mind, it can only be you."

Ming grabbed Kelly, shoved the Emperor-level Blood Token that was obtained from killing the Sphinx into her hand, and then took out a few useless one-star king-level items from his storage and handed them to Raoul and Frank, "Beat them down!"

Ming instructed Kelly again, "You must perform the final kill, then immediately go through the second and third awakenings. Do you understand?"

"Un... Understood!"

Kelly was a bit dazed, but she understood everything.

The boss really was swift and decisive. Angelo whispered to Lavia next to him, "Aren't we supposed to discuss..."

Lavia gave him a pat on the back of his head, "Discuss what? Today it's either it dies or we perish. Do you think that dog thing will spare any of us?"

After saying that, he laughed and looked back at Frank who was holding a zombie, "I wasn't talking about you. You are a wolf, not even the same species."

The 5 seconds were up.

Ming led the rest out of the tent. He smiled and said to Seth, "Shall we discuss this inside our tent?"

"Hmph~ You think I would fall for that."

Seth snorted.

"It seems you don't have much sincerity either. Let's be honest."

Ming smiled, "You and I both know that today it's either you die or we perish. But, before that, I would like to chat with you."

"Heh~"

Seth laughed lightly, "As the God of the Desert, why should I bother to talk more with you mortals? Since you want to die, I will fulfill your wish."

"Have you ever left this area?"

Ming remained calm, "Have you ever thought about leaving this area?"

"Heh~"

Seth sneered, "I am the God of the Desert, it's natural for me to guard the desert."

"But there are so many deserts in the world. Can you freely enter and leave them? Why are you only here? Have you ever thought about that?" Ming probed further.

"My duty is to guard this place!"

Seth seemed a bit angry.

Ming chuckled, "So, you are confined here. And you, you are nothing but a puppet of the rules. You have been brainwashed by the rules. You're such a little fool, but it's still not too late to wake up now."

"!!"

Angelo and the others were shocked. The co- boss bargain with a god was already outrageous, but now the big boss was trying to save... a lost child?

You two are both outrageous!
