The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 716 - 398: The Bet

After listening to the recount.

Bugreit flapped his wings and landed on Kaiser Kael's shoulder.

He spoke with a slightly mocking tone.

"I still don't know you guys. Surely, you're overly arrogant. You speak of cooperation and collaboration, but it's nothing more than issuing orders with a boastful attitude."

Kaiser Kael did not refute these words, only responded with silence.

Perhaps he didn't have such an understanding back then, but over the millennia, in his passive state, he cleared up the mistakes they had made.

But it no longer had any meaning.

"You are like this, let alone those arrogant fools."

Bugreit understood this while he was still alive; he often used his kin's arrogance to taunt them.

This was also why he was quite renowned among the dragons of his time. As the Radiant Dragon, he had earned a reputation for being cunning.

Especially after he awoke and lived with the perspective of the weak, experiencing a life he had never encountered before.

To truly understand the lives of those beings that once seemed like mere ants before him.

So when Kaiser Kael finished his simple recount, Bugreit immediately identified the most fatal reason for their failure.

He understood his kin too well. He was already the most adaptable and willing to lower his stance among them.

In truth, after spending such a long time beside Kana, he had learned many hidden histories, after his death.

Especially during the journey after the Frost Giant Dragon's death.

Kana would occasionally mention much of the history he knew.

For Kana, those times were merely him digging deep into his mind to remember history, avoiding complete forgetfulness.

"Do you know where you went wrong?"

Upon hearing such a question.

Kaiser Kael asked, "Where?"

"We should not have taken the lead, because we are not acknowledged by the world.

The responsibility of saving falls not upon us, we are nothing but selfish beings existing for ourselves.

How can selfish beings like us lead the salvation? How could ordinary beings truly be led by and recognize us?"

This was what Bugreit had come to realize during his time since awakening.

It was also a different perspective seen from Kana.

If one had Kana's abilities and understanding of the knowledge of creation, including the precision of wishes.

Even if halved, Bugreit assured that his kin would surely let wishes fall upon themselves.

To accelerate their own growth, relying on the legacy within their minds to somehow escape the world, and before leaving, thoroughly exploit the world's resources.

Escaping the world's restraint yet gaining growth.

Regardless of their legacy or the knowledge obtained from predecessors, they could know that, to truly resist the Void, unity with all life on this planet is essential.

This point is indisputable.

Because the so-called Void invasion doesn't send completely powerful entities to destroy the world.

Instead, an overwhelming tide of countless creatures washes over the world.

They keep coming, wave after wave.

To protect the world, one must fiercely resist in the areas of invasion.

The Void's forces will pass through the world.

When they pass through the world as a whole, what remains is what they have protected.

If it's only simple powerful beings, what they can protect is infinitesimal.

Therefore, to resist the Void, only two points matter.

Sufficient number of troops, higher average strength.

Simply put, it's a defensive battle with a time limit; the longer one endures, the more areas are protected, and the greater the fruits of victory.

Selfishness leads to failure.

"Enough, you say these things here thinking you can succeed or the ones behind you can succeed.

But I must say it all means nothing, time is running short, the world's barrier is about to dissolve, countless Evil Gods are lurking outside.

Just like this continent, I can clearly sense an evil existence intertwined between the world and the Evil God from beyond.

The earth's wails are endless."

Kaiser Kael obviously understood why Bugreit was here.

But to him, it had no meaning, because it's too close; only decades remain, which is too near for a dragon's sense of time!

With such long-lived beings, understanding what can be done in such a short span of time is impossible.

"How about we set a wager?"

"Not interested, let's end it here." Kaiser Kael evidently did not want to listen.

"Let's go, don't bother me anymore, reminiscing should end here."

Bugreit was unmoved.

"What if I said, if you succeeded, the shackles imposed by the world on you would automatically break, allowing you to leave?"

With these words.

The entire earth trembled.

Kaiser Kael shook off Bugreit from him, pushing his massive head up.

"Do you dare swear?"

"Hah, quite the coward after all."

"Answer my question!"

The voice spread outward like shock wave circles.

"Of course!"

"Then what are the conditions? What are the terms?"

Kaiser Kael asked impatiently.

Bugreit wasn't flustered; he shook off the sand and stones on him and slowly spoke: "It's simple. In the not too distant future, I'll notify you, then you'll assist us in battle."

"The enemy?"

"It's the evil entity you just sensed."

"Heh, you mean you'll deal with it here, where it was born, amidst all the Evil Gods watching?

Forget it."

Kaiser Kael shook his head in ridicule.

Though he had stayed here all the while, as the Earth Giant Dragon, he understood many things about this continent thoroughly.

The rodent infestation spreading across the land, the struggle of these weak lives, he saw them all.

Including the power of that foul rodent.

And the gaze cast from beyond, he could clearly perceive.

Taking out the foul rodent, laughable.

From what he saw now, nearly impossible, especially as the rodent's power continued to grow wildly.

"You don't need to worry about these things; you just need to resist the force projected by the Evil Gods from outside. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

As for that foul rodent, we'll handle it ourselves."

Kaiser Kael looked at Bugreit.

"What if you fail?"

"If we fail, the shackles will naturally break; we will swear an oath."

"Hmm... I have no reason to refuse, so let's do it."

As for whether there is deceit in this, he would have a judgment. Thousands of years of experience and knowledge, coupled with legacy, were no joke.

Bugreit opened his chest, the alchemical construct unfolded layer by layer, and a glowing crystal stone floated out.

"This is the contract already established, just waiting for you to imprint your soul mark."

"Prepared so thoroughly, it seems I've been well expected."

Kaiser Kael was not irritated and swallowed the crystal stone.

Carefully sensing the content of the contract.

Ensuring there were no loopholes or convolutions.

"Very fair, if not too fair. It seems the entity behind you is very confident in itself."
