Chapter 549 - Bets are Open (2/2)
”We will find your friends later For now, coly irritated tone, right before reaching for the girl's arrab Lilith's arht hand up to his chest, and said with a calht, I should entrust a lost person to their fae that, once the assembly is over?”
”Nonsense!” barked out the second champion of Competition ”Should we assue? Is that why you have shown up with only one of them?”
”Think what you will” Daniel said before suddenly grabbing Lilith's wrist, and walking past the two elders and towards the now fao with them?” Lilith asked with confusion
Daniel responded with an indifferent shrug of his shoulders ”You aren't being held against your will You are free to go” He said before taking a small pause, at the end of which he added, ”But I was just hoping ould not have to spend the next couple of days by ourselves” These words were airatification, and yet, they did not reflect the truth
The real reason why Daniel had chosen not to hand Lilith over to the two elders was a darker one One which he thought Lilith did not need to know
After beco a sements of power hidden within the bodies of the other chaered different sorts of reactions within him The more an aspect of existence had in common with the concept of karma, the more he would feel so which he had felt when, in the restaurant, he had stumbled upon the members of Morality's doments of the aspects of Competition hidden within the bodies of the two elders, on the other hand, was a repulsion which, while unable to affect his free will, still made it clear to him that his nature as Karma, and the nature of Competition were incompatible Similarly, to the champions of Competition Daniel felt like a natural eneuessed correctly, was that instead of having to justify the presence of a few anizers of the event, and therefore publicly declare a connection with Daniel's domain to the entireLilith and the others once in their custody With the few of them dead, no one would have a chance to connect the two domains to one another, and none of Competition's allied domains would have a reason to accuse the left and right, I see” Said the older gentlenized as one of the two old cultivators who had tried to save hinore the grievous stares that ca behind Daniel, and instead focused on his careless appearance
”It wasn'tat his surroundings He then added after a few moments, ”I am here for the sa” As Daniel once againcultivators looked at hi back to their conversations
”I am afraid your Lord's previous intervention has made it Inconvenient For us to bet with you” Said the old man aardly ”No one here would expect you to defy your Lord if he siht Why don't we leave, and have a chat? My elder sister has been waiting to talk to you for the past few-” He then added before being interrupted
Daniel already knehat the oldhe could offer As what he wanted was for his na on the ring He is” Daniel explained while nodding in Ashura's direction He then added, ”Also, I have so I can bet with” As he reached the end of his explanation, Daniel moved his consciousness into the pocket dimension he had created inside the front pocket of his pants, and from it, he took a fist sized orb
From the eyes of an inexperienced cultivator, thisobdid not appear special in the least Its opaque grey color gave it a dull and unpleasant appearance, and yet, not one a thetheir head towards it with a snappy motion
Commonly known as an essence orb, this object existed to showcase the concept of a certain type of essence to those ished to comprehend it An object that Daniel had encountered for the first time in the black castle, and from which he had comprehended several forms ofin Daniel's hand, however, was not the simple elemental essences left by the owner of the black castle, but his own comprehension of the essence of spacetime Within the orb ti back the surrounding space along with it-A concept that Daniel had learned while witnessing his system rewind time to a point before his death many times in the past
The appearance of thisobwas clearly so that the old cultivator was desperate to avoid By being one of the few people aware of Daniel's coe privately, as that would have saved hierous and inconvenient path
With so worth more than a simple universe, and the assurance that Daniel was not the one to fight, hundreds of cultivators gave up on the conversations they were having, andto bet twenty universes on your co three blows from my disciple”
”Fifteen universes in a battle of coame of real life chess, mate in 8 moves, fifty universes”
Thean astounding gain regardless of the type of competition, and yet, none of them seemed to pique Daniel's interest It was only after several minutes that Daniel put the orb back into his pocket, and said, ”A one-on-one fight The duel will end the hters will be unable to continue I a with the first one who can offer an untouched universe”
