Out of courtesy to his guests, Varyna struck before Magellan.

The god aimed his slingshot at the ring fixed in the air with divine power in the distance, and shot the projectile in his hand.

Then the projectile drifted away in the wind and landed on the snow to the right of the ring.

"There are some things that the gods can't grasp, can they?"

Magellan smiled and raised his slingshot.

"Because this world is in the hands of the Fa-rectification. ”

Vayo watched as Magellan aimed his slingshot away from the target, and then a projectile flew out, drifting feebly in the wind.

Then the projectile passed through the ring.

Magellan fired the remaining nine projectiles in succession, all of which hit.

Varna put down the slingshot: "I admit defeat." ”

Vayu raised a hand to block the howling cold wind, and together they returned to the courtyard.

"Can mortals see the path of the wind?"

"Only the gods of the wind can see that kind of thing," Magellan knew he had just revealed something that the gods should not see, but that was in his plan, "for a mortal like me, it can only be felt and speculated." ”

"The mortals I know, even ascetics on the snowy mountains, can lose consciousness in such cold winds," Varna seemed to begin to look at the mortal squarely, and after the game, he began to see Magellan's deliberate hostility as the pride of a strong man, "let alone feel the direction of the wind as you do." ”

"No, most of what I do is calculating more than feelings. ”

Magellan, like an ordinary man busy showing off, began to explain to the two gods what he had just done: "When the first projectile misses, according to how it deviates from the ring, it is possible to determine the effect of the wind on the trajectory, and the rest is to calculate, because important information has been obtained, everything is not a problem." ”

"Rest, please, fighting the cold wind is exhausting for anyone. ”

With these words, Vayo sent Magellan to another room where he rested, while he and Varuna remained in the hall.

"He's finished his third game, which must be ascetic, and neither you nor I can believe he can win. ”

Varuna, the god who controls the water, one of the few powerful gods in the land, confronts his brother, Vayu, with a worried look.

"Such a person, even if he is a mortal, can we really hold him in our hands?"

"Mortals always have weaknesses. Vayu knew what his fellow gods were trying to say, "If you fail to transcend, you are destined to be bound by something, and you may not know the chips in our hands. ”

"A beautiful princess," Varona sighed, "when I look at this mortal, I can't help but wonder if he is really a person who will be swayed by beauty?"

"No, it's not necessarily just beauty that binds those two people together. ”

Vayu gave a look of remembrance.

"That mortal, who went through their first game with the princess, only the great god who arranged everything and Su Mo and I, who played with them, knew that they were actually facing the same game. ”

"The gods aren't good at games," Varna sighed, "but we now have to make games the content of their asceticism......

"If you want to complain, complain about the Brahmin who prescribed all this with asceticism, who has been dead of old age for more than a thousand years. Vayu continued his story with a wry smile, "What makes me sigh is not that both of them have bypassed the trap of the rules, but what happened afterward. ”

"When they guessed the rules, the chess game was out of our hands, and Su Mo and I were exchanging information with each other, and it was actually the two mortals playing against each other. ”

"You actually gave up?"

"The God who arranges everything tells us that we have no chance of winning. ”

"But that's fine," Varna sighed, "at least one of the two will stay, and the one must be the stronger." ”

"No," Varyu shook his head, "in the end both of them stayed, because it was a draw. ”

"That's the fate, it's the intersection of transcendence, it's the fate chosen by the Dharma, and they're the same person inside and outside the mirror. ”

"I hope so. "But maybe we shouldn't choose this man, a mortal who is not inferior to a god can do a lot, and we have even found another noble princess like him." ”

"We don't have time left," Vayu raised a hand towards Valou, the demon slaying pestle in that hand was supposed to be pure gold, but now the dagger-like blades of the four directions were all black, "Asura was almost about to break through the Heavenly Realm, just now, when our guest passed through the Heavenly Gate, Asura's surprise attack almost dragged him into the Outer Demon Realm. ”

"My strength is far less than before, but I've always had a question," Va Lou Na looked at Va Yu, who was one of the most powerful of the gods, almost second only to the three great gods and the Heavenly Emperor, "Is this the time?"

"Nobody knows," Vayu shook his head with a wry smile, "maybe this is indeed the last time, but it's also possible that it's just a difficult moment before another victory." ”

"Yama is gone. ”

There was silence in the hall, and the sound of a howling wind could be heard in the distance.

"Even if this is the end of reincarnation, the end of the world, we must ensure that the final victory belongs to the gods and the Dharma. ”

......

The darkness flickered, and the countess was presented with the same beautiful scene as ever, with flowers blooming on the meadows, and golden glow reflected from the golden roofs of the magnificent buildings in the green canopy of tall trees.

This is the garden of a certain god, and the whole world is, beyond the edge of the courtyard, there is a howling wind and snow-capped mountains, with towering peaks on one side and an abyss on the other.

"Welcome, beautiful princess. ”

A god stood on top of the flowers and nodded to the countess, who was the master of the place.

"My name is Agni. ”

This is a tall red-skinned god who wields the flames, one of the most powerful gods, and a brother to Vayu.

The countess knew him.

"My brother, Vayu told me that you have passed the first test arranged by the great god, and now it seems that you have also passed the second test. ”

The Countess nodded.

"Please come with me, you need to rest, the mortal body is like this, even the gods have to drink and play. ”

In the vast and ornate halls, the gods served food and drink to the countess.

"Thank you. ”

The countess sat gracefully at the table and raised her glass in greeting Agni.
