Chapter 195 : Bet

After Bert transformed, Annie and the three Angels of Vengeance simultaneously transformed, and dazzling white flames illuminated their bodies. A pair of large white wings suddenly appeared behind them.

The transformation was not yet over as the flames flickered, the combat suits on their bodies quickly disappeared, replaced by exquisite armor, high-heeled combat boots, arm guards, and three different weapons.

With long golden hair, snow-white wings, silver-white armor, and holy flames, the three Angels of Vengeance looked as heroic as possible. Even the so-called most beautiful Michelle was a little ashamed at this time, remembering that she had despised them before. Michelle couldn't wait to find a hole to hide in.

"Are they, angels?" Michelle noticed Annie's wings and was surprised. "There are angels in the myth of Sovereign, and it's not just a coincidence that they named the Artificial Perfect Sovereign Adam and Eve."

Feeling the powerful power opposite the portal, the twelve Elders secretly swallowed their saliva, and many people stared at Grandmaster to see what he would do. Grandmaster was annoyed and wronged at the same time, "I just wanted to gamble with him, how would I know that guy is a super neurotic?"

After the transformation, Bert was about to step into the portal with three Angels of Vengeance. At this moment, An Elder, a white-bearded and white-haired Astronomer who looked quite immortal, said, "Blood God, don't get me wrong. We didn't come to fight with you."

"Whether I want it or not, I have to bet. Isn't this a war?" Bert sneered, "Who do you think I am, and who do you think you are?"

The Elders of the universe were a little embarrassed. The majestic Judicator turned to Grandmaster and said, "Grandmaster, apologize."

"I apologize to that kid? Where are you from?" Grandmaster said, anger clear in his voice. "That bastard ruined my Arena."

Runner with extremely thick legs said coldly, "You have two choices. One is to apologize to the Blood God now, and the other is that we leave, and you apologize to the Blood God alone."

Grandmaster glared at Runner, but found that the other Elders of the universe felt the same way. He immediately said in disgust. "I'll give you face."

Grandmaster snorted and shouted to Bert, aggrieved, "Blood God, I'm sorry. I just had a problem with my attitude."

Bert ignored Grandmaster and asked the other Elders of the universe, "What do you mean?"

"Our purpose is to protect the universe. There is no need for conflict," Astronomer said. "Blood God, let's make a bet to end all the grievances. Don't be angry. It's up to you to decide whether to make this bet or not. The idiot Grandmaster is actually not malicious. He just likes gambling too much."

Grandmaster glared angrily, but did not refute. In order to pass the long years, every Elder has a special hobby. For example, Runner through an obsession for total freedom likes to run, and Collector likes to collect.

And Grandmaster's personal obsession with games, he can be called the number one old gambler in the universe.

Bert thought for a while, restrained the light of space on his body, and asked, "What is the bet?"

Astronomer said, "Bet if you can keep Sovereign for three months."

High Priestess Ayesha, who came in a hurry, asked, dissatisfied, "What does your conflict have to do with our Sovereign?"

"Your Sovereign star intends to create a god, which is not allowed by us the Elders of the universe. We're just using this gambling game to solve this matter," Astronomer said.

"Blood God, Eve is in your hands. This matter has something to do with you," Astronomer added, glancing at High Priestess Ayesha.

High Priestess Ayesha shouted to Bert in shock and anger, "Blood God, you actually stole Eve of our Sovereign?"

"Wrong. Eve is a trophy I got from Collector," Bert said, snorting.

Bert asked, "What's the bet?"

"You win, and the Elders of the universe will never trouble you again in the future," Astronomer said. "You lose, hand over Collector and an Infinity Stone. There can be no more than three Infinity Stones in one place."

"Don't you think it's unfair to me?" Bert sneered. "I'm never afraid of you coming to me for trouble. It's a big deal to take a moment to kill you all."

Grandmaster shouted dissatisfiedly, "Blood God, don't be too arrogant. Let's not say whether you can kill us, even if you can, the Earth will be destroyed by us."

"So what? The big deal is that I will use the Time Stone to reverse time," Bert said. "Or, collect all the Infinity Stones and resurrect the Earth."

Astronomer frowned and asked, "Blood God, what do you want?"

"If you lose, the Elders of the universe will unconditionally make three shots for me in the future," Bert said. "Unconditionally, even if I ask you to deal with the gods of creation, you have to take action."

Astronomer was stunned, "God of Creation? Blood God, what are you worried about?"

"Betting or not? The current bet is fair," Bert said. Before Astronomer could answer, Grandmaster shouted loudly, "Betting, why not bet? Blood God, this time, I will definitely make you regret it."

The Elders of the universe looked at Grandmaster speechlessly. This guy is really an old gambling dog.

Astronomer sighed and said, "Then let's bet, but we have the right to step back if we encounter a fatal situation."

"Sure," Bert nodded in agreement and made a bet with the Elders of the universe. High Priestess Ayesha became more and more dissatisfied and she shouted, "Why do you bet on our Sovereign Star?"

The Elders of the universe and Bert both gave High Priestess Ayesha a contemptuous look. They thought, why? Is it not enough that we are stronger than you?

"Three months from now on," Bert looked at the Elders of the universe, raised his hand, and a female alcoholic who kept pouring alcohol in her mouth flew towards the portal.

Grandmaster said angrily, "Blood God, what do you mean?"

"Isn't it a tradition, of course, to get some souvenirs when you go out? Grandmaster, don't be so stingy." Bert said lightly as the female alcoholic flew into the portal, he waved his hand and the portal quickly disappeared.

"Asshole!" Grandmaster gritted his teeth and scolded. That bastard not only razed his Arena to the ground but also took away his own Scrapper 142, which is too deceiving.

"Stop screaming, we can't lose this gamble," Astronomer said. "If we lose, we may face the creation gods."

The faces of the Elders of the universe were ugly, and Grandmaster said arrogantly, "We will not lose. In terms of gambling, I, Grandmaster, said that the second, no one dares to be the first."

"You just gamble a lot, you don't have to win every time," Architect said. "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and start action, three months is not long. Astronomer, what are we going to do next?"

"Let's go to Hell first to help a hapless devil restore his IQ. To be honest, that guy is so miserable that even I can't stand it," Astronomer shook his head and said. "Blood God is really not an ordinary sinister."

"Hell? That's a good place to start," Grandmaster's eyes flashed. He looked at the Arena that was almost razed to the ground, gritted his teeth for a while. Blood God must pay the price.

On Sovereign star, a large number of spaceships surrounded Bert, and at the same time, High Priestess Ayesha and Michelle retreated far to the side.

Annie and the three Angels of Vengeance sneered. These girls can destroy everything without the master's action.

Bert ignored the Sovereign. He looked at the drunkard on the ground, covered his nose and said, "The smell on your body is really not pleasant."

"I didn't let you smell it," the female alcoholic, also known as Valkyrie, hiccuped and said indifferently. At this moment, her nose moved, she looked up at Bert suddenly, and asked, "Wait, why do you smell like Hela?"

"I'll let someone else explain it to you," Bert was too lazy to talk nonsense with this female alcoholic. With a wave of his hand, a portal wrapped the female alcoholic and took her back to Earth.

Earth, at a tofu shop near the Blood God Manor, Valkyrie shook her dizzy head, looked around vigilantly, and saw an old man with a white beard walking towards her with something.

As Valkyrie reached for her waist, she looked at the old man. At this sight, she was completely stunned, and she couldn't even close her mouth.

It was Odin who walked towards Valkyrie, but not the majestic Odin in Valkyrie's memory, but an amiable old man dressed in a vest, shorts, and taking off his shoes, dressed as an old countryman.

To be honest, Valkyrie had never seen Odin like this, and she now wondered if she was dreaming.

Looking at the only remaining Valkyrie, Odin sighed and apologized sincerely, "I didn't expect that you didn't die. What happened back then was my fault."

"What?" The Valkyrie became more and more dumbfounded, and Odin actually apologized to her? Is this the end of the world?

The appearance of Valkyrie made Odin a little embarrassed. He raised the tofu skewer in his hand and asked, "Do you want to eat stinky tofu? I fried it myself, and it tastes very good."

"I was really dreaming," Valkyrie's words made Odin understand her situation completely. She picked up the wine bottle, attached divine power to it, and then knocked herself unconscious with a bottle.

"So boring, so unreasonable dreams, don't do it," the Valkyrie thought.

Odin was speechless, he sighed, and hoped that Hela did not destroy the souls of the Valkyries, otherwise, he would owe more.

...

Sovereign star, Bert looked at the surrounding spaceship army and sneered, "High Priestess Ayesha, it seems that I am going to withdraw my evaluation of you."

High Priestess Ayesha roared, "Blood God, cancel this bet, and return Eve to us."

Bert grabbed his hand in the air, and High Priestess Ayesha flew to him involuntarily and was firmly grabbed by her neck.

High Priestess Ayesha looked at Bert in horror and pain, and felt extremely regretful in her heart - she should not have come in person, after all, her life is so precious.

"Blood God, put down the High Priestess," Michelle shouted in shock and anger, and at the same time, all the spaceships aimed their guns at Bert.

Bert held his hand, and all the spaceships in the sky were squashed. Then, he released his hand, and all the spaceships fell from the sky, smashing the ground into deep pits one after another.

Bert said coldly, "Don't challenge my patience, otherwise, Sovereign Star will perish today."

High Priestess Ayesha and Michelle were both terrified, Blood God was powerful, far beyond their imagination. He can really destroy the planet.

Bert threw High Priestess Ayesha to the ground and asked, "Are you awake? It's up to me to decide whether your Sovereign Star lives or dies."

High Priestess Ayesha roared unwillingly: "Blood God, why are you gambling with us?"

"Let's not say that you are self-inflicted."

Bert sneered: "Even if you are not wrong, how about taking you as a gamble? If the wolf eats the sheep, do you have to ask the sheep if they want to be eaten? Similar things, you Sovereign Stars, have you never done it? The strong are respected, the strong eat the weak. This is the truth everywhere."

High Priestess Ayesha was speechless. What else could she say? Bert looked at her coldly and said, "Think about what to say next, because it determines the fate of your Sovereign Star."

Bert's icy gaze made High Priestess Ayesha calm down quickly. She smiled wryly and lowered her head to think.

Now there are only two paths in front of the Sovereign Star, one is to fight the Blood God and force him to give up this gamble and hand over Eve.

The problem is, this is very unreliable. Everyone knows that the Space Stone is in the hands of the Blood God. If he wants to leave, no one can stop him. What's worse, he doesn't need to leave. With the strength of Blood God, it is possible to demolish the Sovereign Star.

As for the other way, it is to bow to Blood God and pray to him to protect Sovereign Star. However, being bullied and begging the other party is undoubtedly extremely humiliating for the arrogant Sovereigns.

After hesitating for a moment, High Priestess Ayesha stood up. She did not express her position immediately, but first asked the maid to clean up her appearance. Then, she said to Bert arrogantly as always: "Blood God, the Sovereign Star is willing to do its best to help you. We will win the gamble."

"You really are human, and I like you a little bit," Bert said as he gently lifted the chin of High Priestess Ayesha with his hand. "I will help your Sovereign Star to stop this disaster, but I want Adam."

"That is impossible. Adam was cultivated by our Sovereign with all our strength, and we will never give him to anyone," High Priestess Ayesha shouted angrily. It was not enough for this guy to rob their Eve, and now even Adam was not spared. It was too much.

"Do you think I'm asking for your opinion?" Bert sneered. He withdrew his hand, pointed forward, and a portal appeared out of thin air, revealing the High Priestess's palace in everyone's sight. Bert had never been to that place, but he sensed Adam's energy, so he could open the portal.

There were a large number of guards next to Adam. They were all shocked when they saw the portal and hurriedly alerted. High Priestess Ayesha clenched her fists and shouted: "Retreat!"

"Yes, High Priestess," the guards stepped back one after another, and Bert nodded in satisfaction. He pulled Adam into the space, and then opened the portal, and summoned Dr. Lizard and Eve together.

//** FUN FACT

Astronomer - Seginn Gallio

Born approximately 5.5 billion years before our time, Seginn Gallio was a member, later the last survivor, of one of the first intelligent species in the Universe. He filled his days, then his eons, with an obsessive study of astronomy, scouting and charting the astral bodies on it. This helped him not only to keep busy, but also to ensure his immortality. He soon lost interest in short-lived living beings.

Grandmaster - En Dwi Gast

Whereas most Elders held monopoly over their respective obsession, En Dwi shared his hobby with one of his brothers, with whom he grew close. When the other Elders started going by aliases that reflected their passion, En Dwi's friend decided to call himself "the Grandmaster." Since there could only be one Grandmaster, the Grandmaster and En Dwi's relationship escalated into a rivalry. They eventually decided to play one last game, despite the Grandmaster's reluctance, after which the loser would be barred from reality until its end. The Grandmaster lost and was exiled, and En Dwi Gast took on his alias for himself.

The new Grandmaster spent his long life searching out new forms of amusement through the playing of games. He studied millions of worlds and the many forms of games they play, while mastering them every time. He used his great power to arrange contests and tournaments with willing and unwilling volunteers. He challenged these opponents to some of the highest stakes in the universe and if they won, he would always keep his word.

Runner - Gilpetperdon

Like all the Elders of the Universe, Gilpetperdon's origin is lost in the early history of the universe. It is known that he is one of the oldest living beings in the universe. Apparently, the Runner found a key to immortality through an obsession for total freedom. However, his attitude (probably enhanced with discreet uses of Cosmic Power) allows him to make friends with any person he meets. Due to his immortality, he joined the Elders of the Universe.

Judicator

The Judicator seeks out new, unique disputes and crimes to adjudicate, including among fellow Elders.

Collector - Taneleer Tivan

Tivan then had a vision seeing powerful things that would rise, determined to destroy the universe. He decided to prevent this from happening and that he would dedicate his life to collecting artifacts and living beings throughout the universe to place them out of danger. Then, after the destruction of the universe, he could re-populate it and bequeath the knowledge and cultures from past. He built a great spaceship and began his work, stopping on every world to collect a sample of its greatest achievements, as well as living representatives of each of their lifeforms.

Architect

The Architect was a member of the Elders of the Universe whose obsession was building things. The Architect helped its fellow Elder, the Runner, build a raceway when the Runner wanted to find out who was the fastest man on Earth.
