5. Quarrels outside the bounds
At the moment when Cyber killed the quantum observer, the entire universe echoed his dying warnings, and it seemed that he was not in pain when he died, perhaps for an absolutely rational materialistic being, death was only a step that had to be experienced, and it was not worth the pain and despair, it was nothing more than time advance.
But there is another being who is extremely dissatisfied with the victims of this absolute power.
"Bang"
In a special dimension, the chaos of the first birth of all things sways back and forth in disordered time, so that in this small dimension, new creatures are born every second, but the next second will be re-decomposed into the original chaos, this is the world where order did not exist before the birth of all things, a dimension that was temporarily opened up, and it will soon be abandoned.
The advantage of the absence of order is that this dimension can accommodate two or more opposing forces at the same time, and allow them to strike a strange balance in chaos.
But beware, this is not a brutal battlefield.
"You're cheating!"
A hazy and hoarse voice rang out in the darkness of the dimension, accompanied by the sound of striking something, and he said with a hint of disdain and mockery, "When did the Elders of the Universe learn to cheat with gambling as a lifelong meaning?" I thought it was a despicable trick that only dark people like me would use!"
"Barbatos, you're still like this, every time you think from the most disgusting point of view, you treat every being as a crumb like you!"
Sitting on the other side of the dark round table was the Elder of the Universe who had changed into a blue costume and rarely wore his own starry crown, Gao Tianzun, who was addicted to gambling, and in the face of the accusation of the opponent of this gambling, the elder Barbatos from the Dark Multiverse, he sneered at each other without a trace of fireworks:
"You saw him for yourself on the day the game was decided! Don't tell me you were blind that day! And for gamblers like us, fairness is a quality that must be possessed, even more important than existence itself, I warn you, Barbatos!"
Gao Tianzun's voice became serious: "Apologize to me for your shameless slander!"
"Slander!?"
Not to be outdone, Barbatos' voice also came from the darkness: "You say I slander you! Open your eyes and see, dear gamblers, four months ago, the fighter who fought on behalf of the High Heavenly Venerable, Seber Hawke, was only a weak Heavenly Father, and now? Who can be hidden by the shining light on his body? It is a single universe guy... It shouldn't be in this gamble at all!"
His voice became sarcastic:
"Gao Tianzun, a mortal, 4 months, crossing the shackles of life rank, if it's not you cheating, then you're challenging our wisdom?"
"Makes sense!"
"Gao Tianzun, explain!"
"If you cheat, this game is won by Barbatos!"
At the moment when Barbatos's voice fell, around the huge dark round table, several breaths that were not weaker than Gao Tianzun and Barbatos also spoke, they were full of threats, and for a while, public opinion became quite unfavorable to Gao Tianzun.
But sitting next to Gao Tianzun, who also changed into his most gorgeous clothes, Tanya Tiwan, the most famous collector in the multiverse, had absolute confidence in his brother and the contestants he chose.
He touched the pendant around his neck that was so brilliant in the sparkle of chaos, and he said in a deep voice:
"Guys, with all due respect, no one in this room wants to lose, and a win for either side of the game will make the other side who is holding it down suffer, and in this case, unfair accusations are inevitable... That's right, I'm talking about you, Barbatos, you're slandering us. ”
His voice was elegant and spicy, and it went straight to the hearts of those who were shouting:
"The stories of the contestants, everyone here is familiar with it, and I don't believe that if our brother can hide from you by cheating temporarily, it is nothing more than the drive of profit that makes you lose your face, Cyber Hawke is also surprised that he crossed the life ladder in 4 months, but there is always no shortage of real geniuses in this universe... If this explanation is not enough, I feel it necessary to bring in a truly impartial witness..."
"Oneiroi and his endless library... There, every memorable story of the infinite universe is stored in complete justice... Would you like us to read the story of Cyber Hawke?"
"Buzz"
As soon as the words fell, a robe appeared in the chaotic space with a faint white light, and the most striking thing about him was that his eyes were covered with a layer of white gauze, and he whispered:
"No need to go to the Endless Library... Too powerful beings are not welcome there, you always like to change things casually, it would make my library less just, and I've heard your arguments, so I've brought this copy of Overlord Trail... This is his unfinished story, do you want to hear it?
"Oh, dear Oneiroi, are you here for this gamble too?"
Gao Tianzun asked, and Barbatos was even more rude: "I don't want to hear any stories, you tell us the answer directly, did they cheat?"
Faced with these two questions, Oneiroi hesitated for a moment and replied in a cold voice:
"I don't like gambling, but I know that this adventure of Cyber Hawke is going to be a great heroic story, and when it comes to cheating... All I can say is that the cunning High Celestial Zun played a sideshow, and Cyber Hawk asked him to find something for him, and the High Celestial Zun found him the Black Lantern Ring... This is not cheating, but it is clear that his behavior directly caused Cyber Hawke to cross the life ladder. ”
"Wow!
Barbatos' teasing voice sounded in the next moment: "It's just a "side ball", what do you want me to say, my gambler... It seems that you are not so impartial..."
Gao Tianzun didn't answer, he just spread his hands nonchalantly:
"Are you deaf? Barbatos, I'm not cheating!"
"I don't care! If you can play the sidelines, it means that I can too!"
The Master of the Dark Multiverse had a dim light beating with his fingertips like rotten bones, and his eyes under the gray hood swept over the crowd at the table, and he coughed lightly, saying:
"So, I'm going to modify this bet slightly, no one has an opinion, right?"
Gao Tianzun's face was gloomy, and he opened his mouth and said:
"You can only change the rules, Barbatos, there is a limit to my patience!"
"So what do you think I'm going to change?"
The Lord of the Dark Multiverse snorted, "I'll just kill him?" ”
"First of all, I stipulate that in the nascent timeline, all Infinity Stones will return to nothingness!"
"Buzz"
As if as a rule, the moment Barbatos's voice landed, Saibo, who was standing in the territory of the Kree empire and reaching out to get the power gem in the new timeline, suddenly found that the cosmic spirit orb in front of him disappeared into the metal binder in a strange way, as if it had never existed.
"Hahaha, that's stupid!"
The collector sitting next to Gao Tianzun smiled back and forth, he unceremoniously pointed at Barbatos and laughed: "You can only change the new timeline, my friend, the two gems that Cyber brought over belong to this world, you can't change them!"
"That's enough!"
Barbatos said coldly, "I'm just trying to eliminate a bug, that's all, I'm different from you cheaters!"
"Last modified... Victory conditions!"
Under the gray hood, a hint of cunning flashed in those dark red eyes: "Since your gladiators are already a monolithic universe, it means that the fighters I carefully selected are definitely not his opponents, in this case, I want to modify the conditions for victory... I can see at a glance the darkness surging in this universe, and no matter how hard your fighter tries, he can't change its fate. ”
"If the world is ruined, then I win!"
"You're cheating!"
Tanlia Tivan retorted loudly: "He was told that it was just a game, and he treated it as a game, and then you stipulated that he had to be a part of the game to keep the world intact... You're a strong man, Barbatos!"
"So what?"
Barbatos sneered, "The monolithic universe is already invincible in this weak timeline... Am I going to send more Dark Knight to kill him in numbers?
"You see, I'm just betting on the will of Cyber Hawk himself, and if he succumbs to the will to destroy and ignores the possible crises of the universe, it means that he has high hopes for him, and that's it... Human emotions are always the most unpredictable, and the final outcome of such a gamble is a real unknown until it is really revealed!"
"Huh"
The dark wings behind Barbatos spread, and he shouted:
"This is the real gamble, this is the real meaning of the gamble!
"Then vote!"
Gao Tianzun stopped his brother's rebuttal, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone vote, those who agree with Barbatos' revision, raise your hand!"
"Boom"
In an instant, there were more than a dozen raised arms on the table, and even Oneiroi, who was sitting on the sidelines, raised his hand, holding a quill in his other hand, and a peaceful smile appeared on the corner of his handsome mouth:
"This is interesting, this kind of inner torture is enough to make the core of this story tend to be complete, even detached! I am beginning to look forward to the ending of this story!"
"Okay, so do it!"
Gao Tianzun's eyes also flashed with a hint of sharpness: "Any other option than destruction... Then count me as a winner!"
"Huh... It's cunning!"
Barbatos smiled, and the dim light pulsed at his fingertips: "But you are doomed, Gao Tianzun, because in this world, all the paths... will lead back... Dark. ”
What happened outside the realm was not known to Cyber, but he also clearly realized the deep meaning that he had almost forgotten from the scene of the dissipation of the cosmic spirit orb.
It's not a real world... This is just a game, and the rules of the game can be changed, the mysterious disappearance of the treasure of the universe, the infinite stones that originally exist in every multiverse, means that a certain rule of this timeline has just been modified.
This makes the dark fog that hangs in front of him even more unpredictable, which path to take in order to win the game?
He sat on the summit of a lonely mountain range in the heart of Gotham, let the icy snowflakes and heavy frost completely submerge the mountain, he was thinking, but every time he thought, the result made him feel dazed.
When you're in the middle of a game, it's hard to see everything from a detached third-party perspective.
Because you have no idea if breaking a window and executing a criminal at random means that the game is completely over... This kind of constrained situation is really, really uncomfortable!
But Cyber believes that a game that can be taken seriously by a cosmic elder like Gao Tianzun will definitely not arrange such a nonsensical ending, which must contain the timeline of this new life, the final fate of this new world.
He could feel that this fate might be led by him and pushed forward by him.
And each of his choices will be piled up to determine the outcome of this game.
It's like a real card game, where every choice counts as the final outcome!
"Buzz"
Between the light and shadow of darkness, the dark female warrior and the new ninja master Talia who carried the Thunderblade Tenggu Sword appeared beside Cyber, she leaned down respectfully, and whispered:
"Overlord, those "heroes" are united... They're marching on Gotham!"
"Oh?"
Cyber's musings were interrupted, and he turned to look at his ruthless new subordinate, and he asked in a deep voice:
"Why are they here?"
Talia hesitated for a moment, then replied, "They are here to expel you, to destroy your rule!
"Stupid!"
The fierce figure of the war scythe suddenly appeared in Cyber's hand, he stood up from the throne, and the cold wind of the hunt suddenly blew away at this moment, like the cold majesty of the overlord, blowing towards the whole world and in all directions.
"Freedom, but you can't protect the world!"
"I'm going to put on armor, I'm going to put fangs on it, I'm going to turn it into an invincible monster that runs rampant with the stars... They are bound to the earth, and they only have a starry sky above their heads, and they don't understand this meaning..."
"Wow"
The shining blade of light flashed before Cyber's eyes, illuminating his cold face:
"Fools will only waste precious resources..."
