Chapter 1862: Great Game
There is silence in the Dark Room. The silence seems to linger. But even in this silence, there is an aura that is rising
A psionic force that is intense enveloping the entire room. All five of them is thinking of the same thing right now
The risk tolerance. How much could they risk for hope?
The most illusory thing of them all.....hope.
Like a light at the end of the tunnel.
Seems so close but it is there?
Or is it just the hallucination of a dying man stuck in darkness? Is it worth it to risk it all for this small hope?
Risk is not something foreign to them
But the Orvan is not a risk-taking creature.
It is because they failed before.
And the price of that failure is very steep.
Since that moment, the Five Seats of Orvan has always been cautious.
Always been safe.
Always thought of a backup plan.
Calculations after calculation, schemes and plots in layers.
All to minimize risk of failure.
And this kind of method serves them well all of this time.
Risk is not foreign to them but it is also not a familiar thing to them.
And any risk they take rarely ever would affect Orvan civilization and continued existence. At most, they are some things they could cut to minimize loss.
This game...that they are about to enter.....this is no normal game. If they lose, there is no comeback.
They do not yet enter with all-in attitude but even if they only bet a little, once they failed, the loss would be almost unbearable.
So, there is silence. So, there is contemplation.
Thinking, deliberating, hesitating and thinking again. And once they fall into this rut, it is hard to come out of it.
An hour of silence and the silence did not seem that it would end. Someone had to take control.
Someone had to talk
"Risk...this time it is worth it" The one from the House of Klargen mutters. He paused for a moment and nodded to himself
"It is worth it!" this time, his tone is more confident. He wanted to believe in it. And he would make his belief the reality
And that is what it took. All of them knows that there is always a great chance this could blow up on their face.
But they already know about this since the moment they decided to enter
All it took is one person to show his stance.
And once his stance is shown, the other four would support it. They wanted this kind of bravery.
The kind of bravery that they forgotten a long time ago.
Because they are too smart.
Too cautious.
Sometimes bravery requires blind hope.
Blind optimism.
The desire to see beyond the odds and fought for that one glimmer of hope
That is bravery.
And that is what they forgotten
And once they are reminded, they thought of the glory days of the Orvan. The young generation did not see them
They are born cautious. They are born to be soldiers. Obeyers. Rule abiding. But the Old Ones, the Five Seats knows of the past.
Of those glory days.
Adventurous, leaders, rule breaking...free!Nôv(el)B\\jnn
It is a pity that they had to birth generations after generations of only obeyers and soldiers. It is a product of their failures.
He did not stop Wargod.
He saw what the Qarthan king would do.
He did not stop him.
He saw the attack on Olympus before it happens
He did not stop him
He saw what Ra would do after knowing what the Qarthan king would do.
He still did not stop it
He even saw what Hades and Poseidon is doing. Saw what they are planning. Saw they open
Tartarus
Saw how Hades unshackle the chains on Chronos.
He saw all of that and he still did not do anything.
He saw Odin and see his plots and schemes.
He saw that monkey....coming there to resolve some Karma.
He saw that page boy, ready to pay for the debt of those years.
All gathering above Interium.
Even then he did not make any moves. He did not encourage them nor discourage them
He look at all of them and see the choices and decision that they would make. Because that is
the free will he gave them
Be it the right decision, or the wrong one, one make their decision based on their hearts and
their minds, based on their life, their desires and their hatred, their circumstances and the available information they have
One who sees the entire story would make different decisions than the one who only see
partial story.
He did not stop all of them from making mistake or making profit. Making bets or not making
bets
But once he senses that the Orvanian was about to do something, his eyes turns sharp.
The blue aura in his eyes turn deep blue that seem menacing.
If the Orvanians dares to come out of Orvan and participated in the matter of Wargod and that
Child, The Creator would slap them to death
The fact that the Orvanians did not do anything shows that they know the red line that they
should not cross
In the Omniverse right now, entropy began to corrode galaxies.
Destruction is about to reign
And the Creator restriction is also being loosened right now
Just like at the beginning. The One Above All gives him permission to Destroy. Now, time is
about to End
Hence, the restriction of Destruction is also loosened.
Now.....right now, he could use the Destruction power.
He and the Destroyer are the same coin with different faces.
He sighed
"All of these beings......all of them are my children's" he mutters with a sigh in his heart
"And now, they are all about to enter into a Great Game. If they won, then there is a chance. If
they lose...." The Creator did not finish his word. But it is enough to speculate from the way he
sighed
It would not be something good at all.
