"You acted quicker than I thought."
Sam said with a smile as he looked at the small hovering figure of Hel.
He is currently inside his tent. This is the next morning after the destruction he caused. He was left alone as he was taking rest and the first thing that greeted him as soon as he opened his eyes is Hel's small hovering figure that looked like a game character.
"You really have bigger balls than I thought. How dare you threaten the gods that could kill you anytime they want. Do you really think so highly of yourselves?"
"You are here, aren't you? Anyway, I think I already made it clear about how little your status as gods means to me, when I tortured you when you came as Beryl.
Do I need to remind you again?"
Hel gritted her teeth in frustration as she looked at Sam. She didn't have any proper comeback for that.
She knew that Sam might just be the only person in existence that came into contact with this many gods and managed to attract their attention either their affection and interest or their ire. All the gods that encountered Sam in palaces of inheritance either love him or hate him.
Most of the time, there is no in-between.
"Tell me why you called me here."
"I want you to do me a favor. I want to leave a message and some information to Brice before I leave and I want you to make it possible."
"Is that it?"
"Not, of course not. I want to know why Dayus got his hands on his original techniques. How is that possible? If the rules don't have any significance, why bother with so many rules and restrictions to me while that piece of shit gets all the perks.
I would like an explanation."
"Are you really impudent enough to question me directly?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHel asked in a serious tone.
Sam didn't even bother to take her seriously. He is clearly not in the mood to go back and forth. He just wanted to get the message across that he wouldn't tolerate the bullshit anymore.
"I don't really care if the odds are stacked against me. In fact, I welcome it.
It is one of the greatest forms of compliments a person can get. After all, gods like you that are ruling over realms and species have to think of such an underhanded way to deal with me. I couldn't ask for better proof of my competence.
But my tolerance only sticks when those odds just affect me. They shouldn't affect the people around me.
Once they do, things will go just like this. I will flip the whole table and no player will have any competition to participate in.
Give this message to the gods and tell them to think twice before they make another move.
Also, there is another thing. I will not just stop messing with the competition if this repeats itself. You guys need the faith from your followers and I will make it the mission of the Dusk organization to destroy every single organization under all of the gods.
I will slaughter clans and sects, young and old alike. Innocent or guilty. I will cover every single one of them with a blanket of death and will make them know that they are subjected to this torture because of the gods they so worshipped for generations."
Hel's eyes widened as she looked at Sam in shock.
"Are you fucking insane? Do you think you can get away with threatening a god like that?"
Sam felt pressure all over his body. But he didn't back down. His expression got colder as he met Hel's gaze.
"Try me. I know for a fact that you cannot kill me without Gambler's consent.
And you should know better if you think that I cannot deliver what I just said. You witnessed the whole process I have gone through over the years. The effort I put to develop and what it has become now.
Do you want to take the chance that I wouldn't destroy your organization?"
Hel increased the pressure even more. But she didn't dare to push him further. One look at his eyes and she knew that Sam is speaking the truth. He is not messing around. He will do exactly what he said.
She couldn't help but think of the days when Sam is patient with everything. He must have been a pain in the ass, but he always steered clear of hurting people that have nothing to do with him.
He never attacked someone out of spite just for the sake of it.
For the first time, he said that he will destroy every organization under the gods and she can clearly see that he is speaking the truth.
He is not just bluffing to get his way. He fully intends to kill.
She couldn't help but think if they did the right thing by pushing him too much like this. She felt like Zeus is going to regret every choice he made in the past few rounds.
"I understand. But there is not much I can do. And I don't have too much control over the game. I put up the rounds based on the discussions.
My player is not here, so I look for my own benefits. If you really want to take it out on someone you can take it out on the god that messed with you. I can give you the names if you want."
"There is no need for that. I know who did what. It is not that hard to figure out. You gods might think you are above mortal emotions, but you display them the most. Bloody hypocrites."
"Whatever. Is there anything else?"
"Nothing. Do let me drop the message though."
"You can do it. You can leave behind a trace of your soul to this body. Brice will take over once you are gone. So, he can take a look at that soul fragment and get the memories directly."
"Thank you. Please relay my message to the rest of the gods. They better be careful. I am not kidding and I ran out of all the patience that I could muster."
Hel disappeared without letting Sam finish his words.
Sam didn't bother much with that behavior. He knows that this woman will be pissed for a long time along with the rest of the gods. And that is exactly what he wants.
He wants to see if these gods will grow a brain and leave him alone or if they would be foolish enough to provoke him again.
He closed his eyes and started gathering thoughts and information that he wants to leave behind for Brice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFor some reason, the competition was not declared over, even though the whole valley is essentially his own at this point.
But he had to stay there until the end of the duration of this round.
This only added to his benefit though. Because he can leave a longer message with much more information for Brice.
By the end of the seventh day, Sam left a final message along with all the compiled information for Brice before he was taken away by Hel back to hell.
When Brice came back to his own body, a series of memories hit him along with a lot of complicated and unfamiliar information.
He instantly understood what happened and to make him get an even clearer picture, Sam's message hit him at last.
"Hello Brice, I am Sam. The person who occupied his body for the past seven days.
You have been through a lot with losing your legs and most of your once-loyal team. And to be dragged into this matter that is completely unrelated to you is unfair, to say the least.
Because of a game, some stupid cunts are playing, and your subordinates almost died. I am partly responsible.
So whatever I am leaving to you, take it as compensation on my part. But there is something else I want to tell you.
You are too good for your clan. You are a competent and responsible young man who has honor and respect for whatever you are fighting for. But your clan doesn't reciprocate it no matter how much you sacrifice for them.
You even lost your limbs and you were immediately discarded.
Now that they saw what I did in your body which they think you did by yourself, you will be desired again. Your clan members are that fickle.
So, I advise you to leave your clan. Shift all of your forces to this valley. I left a method to control the elemental storms in the valley. You can use these methods to control storms and arrange a natural defensive barrier from all seven clans.
They cannot do much no matter what they tried and how they tried.
Build yourself and your forces. Use whatever information I have left to build your strength and one day, an organization called Dusk organization will arrive in this realm. That is the way for you to contact me.
We can join hands and grow further. If you don't want to do that, you can ignore my message, but can still take whatever I left you and help your clan.
But do think before you take that decision. Is your clan really worth it?"
