Chapter 13: Asura
The game came to an end with almost no changes, not even the speed at which both sides of the game played.
Indra pondered the countess's possible plans, knowing that his brother, Agni, did not know how to win, so he left the victory to pure luck, but the countess should not have been like this, she had to win.
Now, Agni has placed five pieces on the finish line, and the last piece is very close.
This is a simple coordination calculation, assuming that a piece is three squares away from the finish line, and the dice roll gets a point that is not three, then move the other pieces until there is a three, and then put the piece on the finish line until there is only one piece left, you can use this method to ensure that the piece will definitely land on the finish line.
Opposite the gods, the Countess used the same method to place four pieces on the finish line, but with the difference that she still had two pieces that did not reach the finish line.
The game has reached the end, and Agni's last piece is only four squares away from the end point, according to the rules, the next time he rolls the dice with more than four points, he cannot continue, and the final calculation of the winner is based on the current result. Similarly, both of the countess's pieces were close to the finish line, and this was her last round.
When it was Agni's turn to roll the dice, he took one last look at the chessboard and then spread his hand.
The dice swirled around the table a few times before stopping.
"Five o'clock. ”
The countess picked up the dice: "I've won." ”
Her two pieces, one one square from the finish line and the other two squares, if there are more than two points, the game is over, the result remains the same, and the countess wins either way.
Agni sighed, "You're the first to see the dice clearly, and you're not even a god, I don't know how many times my brother has said that to you, you're amazing." ”
"No, actually, that dice is very complicated, and I found only a small part. ”
"And then you won the victory on that part?"
Indra picked up the dice from the table and put it in front of his eyes: "Vishnu's joke, the name of this dice comes from a famous debate where a brahmin once asked the great god Vishnu that since the Dharma can decide everything in this world, is it true that a person who understands the Dharma can know which side of the dice will fall on the ground and which side will face it. ”
Vishnu then gave the dice to the brahmin and told him that the dice existed according to the rules set by the great god and that if he understood the rules, he would know which side of the dice would be up next time. ”
Agnini sighed, and then Indra finished the story: "Eventually the brahmin gave up, and he gave me this dice, and finally understood what Lord Vishnu meant, which is to guess what it can do before really understanding the Dharma, which is to deviate from the Dharma. ”
"When the holder wants to win, the value of this dice will be between five and six, which is a gambler's treasure, and of course, the god who made it knows that the owner of this dice will not be a shameful gambler. ”
"I see. ”
Indra sighed, he had understood all the questions in the game that he could not have understood. Halfway through the game, the countess saw through the rules of the dice, so she let the two pieces not reach the end in order to win the final victory.
"Please rest, this game is a bit too intense in terms of the game in the banquet, and I will count it as your austerity, and I think the Dharma will approve that a mortal who sees through Vishnu's joke deserves a miraculous reward. ”
......
Vayo stayed with Magellan, and he personally led the outsiders into the dark gates that went to the next heaven.
Familiar darkness came from all sides.
Magellan looked around curiously, but he didn't notice that the face of Vayo, who was walking in front, suddenly darkened.
Mount Meru and the Thirty-Three Days are the territory of the gods, even if they travel between several heavens, it is only a fleeting moment, and the existence of darkness can only prove one thing - the invasion of Asura.
And this time, he's in far more trouble than ever.
But beside Vayu was the mortal who had to complete the austerity.
Magellan stopped abruptly.
Then the giant god in front of him suddenly turned his head, revealing a distorted face.
It wasn't a god anymore, it wasn't even a god, it was another twisted monster.
It had exaggerated fangs and dark skin, blood flowed from its breath, a dark blue flame snorted through its mouth and nose, its head turned back at an exaggerated angle, and its scarlet eyes were facing Magellan.
Then Magellan laughed.
He took the sword from behind him.
"Asura?"
Then the monster roared, bent back, opened its mouth and bit at Magellan's neck.
It was a horrific sight.
With the sound of metal clashing, Magellan's blade stopped the monster's fangs, but the invincible longsword failed to cut anything, and Magellan even saw the sparks splashing from the place of the collision.
The monster was completely irrational and kept roaring, trying to bite Magellan's neck again and again, but each time it was blocked.
There was an inexplicable agitation in the darkness around him, and Magellan could already feel that more monsters were approaching.
Then his right arm was pierced.
It's like the darkness itself has life and wants to come together.
Blood gushed out, and the monster seemed to have more power in an instant, and it roared and bit the blade, slamming its head into Magellan's chest.
Magellan was unharmed.
He fell to the ground, his blade covered in black blood, and the monster was dead.
At that moment, Magellan's blade sliced off the monster's head.
But the more terrifying forces in the darkness are approaching, and they are everywhere.
Magellan stood silently, handed the sword to his left hand, and raised his injured right arm.
As if really attracted by the blood, the scene that had just injured Magellan appeared again, and the darkness seemed to be about to converge on his right arm, but it was dodged.
Magellan slashed his sword down at that moment, and although there was silence, he knew he had struck.
Then the whole darkness roared.
It was like the sound of some unknown monster for an unknown reason, like a boulder rolling in the dirt, like a corpse stuck in a swamp, weird and eerie.
And then suddenly, everything was gone.
It was as if we had finally arrived in the realm of the gods, and the sounds of darkness and terror dissipated in an instant, and a patch of green appeared in front of me.
