Chapter 96 ‘IT’
Chapter 96 ‘IT’
"Could it be that you saw the future and knew I'd come here with you so you left it here for me?""
Laughing sarcastically, Ye Tian used this as opportunity to probe Apollo on just what he was hiding about this dungeon
And sure enough, hearing this question, ye Tian could feel a sudden change of mood in the lyre with emotions such as hesitation, anger and frustration radiating out of it
Obviously whatever happened to him wasn't something he wanted to talk about
So after what seemed to be a century, what Ye Tian heard was a sad sigh that came into in his ears
"Sigh…about that human, it's a long story so be prepared"
Saying this Apollo began telling him a story of what happened in the past
......
In the past, just like Apollo said before Zeus would take him here as well as his other brothers in order to prepare their minds for the future
Not only that but sometimes in order to punish them or scare them a bit, he would teleport away from the prison leaving them alone for a few hours if not days to fend for themselves
Just listening to this, Ye Tuan couldn't help but sigh
*As expect of the almighty zeus's parenting skills, truly one of a kind*
*Thinking of his past actions now, doing something like abandoning a child in a prison full of ancient man immortal monsters was definitely something he could do*
However, although Ye Tian thought this, he still didn't say anything.
Rather, after taking a quick glance at the necklace he continued to focus on Apollo obviously wanting see where this story was headed
And sure enough, much like to his expectation Apollos expiration was completely out of the ordinary Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"So..yeah my father left me here a few times in order to scare me back when I was a child, unfortunately it was during this time I met 'it'"
"And I say 'it' because I can neither remember its name, face, voice, or any feature about it other than the fact that it exists"
"And for a god such as I, it was obviously impossible to have memory problems so obviously 'it' must have been the issue"
Speaking of this, as Apollo mention the word 'it' yet I an could feel the lyre vibrate obviously even know whatever it was still had a great effect on him
Its that like before, Ye Tian remained silent waiting for him to complete his explanation
And Apollo after calming down also guessed what Ye Tian thought and continued from where he left off
"So yeah, once coming in contact with whatever it was would completely mess up and change your cognition of it making it impossible for anyone to remember it accurately"
"The only thing that I remembered that it always made me play a game if dice with it, and the winner could get one thing from the looser"
"And the necklace of Delphi over there is the price I played for having lost to it"
"However it's not like you can't get it back, all you have to do is play whatever it is in a game of dice and you should be able to get it back"
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but sneer after listening to everything Apollo had to say
First off, why would he risk his life battling some unknowable being in a game of dice for some necklace that wasn't even his?
And sorry, but although Its functions might have been really useful but for the current Ye Tian it was something he could do without
However, just as he was about to tell Apollo he wasn't going to do it, a small cute voice sounded in his ear leaving him stunned
"Master it's me Ava, I just woke up and I already understand a bit of the current situation"
"Do it, trust me you can't lose"
Listening to the voice brimming with confidence, it just crossed Ye Tians mind that Ava who should have been asleep digesting the gains from earlier had woken up
And even though he couldn't see her, Ye Tian could tell that she had received quite the upgrade based on his connection with the real world.
Realising this, he couldn't wait to get back home and completely deal with matters at hand and launch the second phase of the game
After all, If his supreme God template was a hundred percent plus the backing of a whole world behind him, things like this he wouldn't need to be too cautious
If he had that strength, then he could just go and take it off the door without any hesitation
Sadly, since that isn't the case. He as no choice but to listen to Apollos idea and play dice with some unknown being
Fortunately in turn, Ava just woke up making it a whole lot easier for him although he didn't know how she would help
"Alright Apollo I'll help, however I'm not giving you the necklace to hold not see till I feel like"
"Not only that, but you have to promise me the promises that must be fulfilled whenever I ask, and don't worry it'll be something within you current capabilities"
"Swear on you true name, to do both of these things and I'll go get it for you right now" said Ye Tianas he looked at the lyre in his hand with a serious expression
Yes Although he had already agreed to play the game with Ava in his mind, but Apollo in the lye didn't know that
Rather Ye Tian wants to use this as an opportunity once again to test how much he wanted this lyre back
And if it was urgent as it was, Ye Tian promised himself that unless absolutely necessary he wouldn't hand over the necklace to him
Unfortunately perhaps due to his sudden uneasiness after encountering 'it' again
Or the fact that he was teeming with excitement at the thought of getting his artefact back
Apollo who had just heard Ye Tian say agreed didn't think you much of it and swore on his true in turn strengthening Ye Tians decision to keep this item away from him
"I the main God of the Greek pantheon #%^\ &@$?## swear on my true name to abide by those two conditions stated by the human Ye Tian just now"
*Boom!*
As soon as he finished speaking, with a loud boom both Ye Yian and Apollo sudden felt a thread connecting both of them from the void
And from this thread both of them got a message, and that was that of any side of failed to keep their side of the deal then their true spirits would be dragged into the star realm left to sink for all eternity
*haha, it's been a while since I made a real name contract with someone and the process is still the same"
"If any side fails to adhere their side of the bargain then a fate worth than death awaits them, it's due to this that along with the oath on the river Stix and an oath on the Dao or the will of the universe are one of the most viscous and unbreakable oaths out there"
Feeling the intangible line sticking out of his body into the void, Ye Tian knew that this was done by the will of the universe and the only way to get it cut was to fulfil his side of the deal
So with this in mind, as someone who hated being tied down or held down as much as possible, Ye Tian had already decided to do his part as soon as possible
In fact, had it not been for the close proximity for him to play the dice then he wouldn't have even though of doing something like this
So with that said, ignoring Apollo who was still happy and lost in thoughts fantasizing about getting his necklace soon, Apollo headed toward the door and grabbed the necklace right off
*Booom!*
Touching it, Ye Tian suddenly felt his mind seemed to explode as before he could react, he had unknowingly found himself in a pitch-black room
"Care to play a game?"
"Care to play a game?"
"Care to play a game?"
These were the same words which kept repeating themselves in his ear as he appeared in this new environment
*Booom!*
Following another explosion, the current landscape completely dissapefed revealing a completely white room with a table and a two seats on opposite ends
On both seats, two figures who looked exactly like each other sat staring with a smile on their faces
"Who are you?" Asked Ye Tian as he felt the current situation was intresting
And sure enough the figure who looked exactly like him also replied along with the same signature smirk
"What are you talking about, I'm you?"
"Now do you want to play a game or what?"
Said the figure as he suddenly brought all kinds of board games to the table completely stunning Ye Tian.
