Chapter 434: Karthikeya
The Monkey King walked towards a seat which was arranged right in front of the young man who is seated.
"What do you want Sun Wukong?"
"The next Palace of Inheritance is yours isn't it?"
"What if it is?"
"I want you to do something for me?" The Monkey King said casually.
"Are you asking for a favor? Your tone suggests otherwise."
"Think of it as you may." With that, the monkey king placed the sphere on the table and said.
"Next time, ask Sanchez to deliver this to Sam."
"Sam?"
"Gambler's Pick. Among the players, I think he is the best. At least, he was the only one among the people who were able to last until the final round and even master the Void style partially. Your player was down because of his tricks by the way. That guy has got brains."
The young man raised an eyebrow and said.
"Isn't this against the rules?"
"This is the reward I promised. So, there is no violation of the rules. After all, it is not stated in the rules that we cannot deliver the required rewards with the help of others."
"So, you are trying to make use of the loopholes of the rules."
"I don't care what you think of it, you know me, I play by the rules as long as there is no violation."
"But why should I give him this. Didn't the gambler say that he is confident in his player that his player can cross dimensions without any of his help? He is so confident and even used the dimensional crosser to exchange a lot of knowledge.
Didn't he know that a person couldn't do much with that much knowledge? After all, what use is it if he doesn't have the strength to preserve it and the ability to utilize it? We all thought that his player would be down first, but now you are helping him."
"Help? You look down on me too much don't you? I am Great Sage heaven's Equal. Not anyone can deserve my help." His demeanor changed with his tone and he continued.
��He won, fair and square and he exceeded the expectations of mine. So, I promised the reward which exceeded my current limit at that time. I am now asking you to give him some reward. He doesn't need my help. He earned it himself."
The young man didn't say anything and looked at him. The Monkey King felt that something is wrong and then a look of enlightenment came over his face.
"Don't tell me, you are jealous of him. After all your player didn't even get anything in the first two palaces. And it seems that this guy is the biggest winner in the first two palaces."
The young man's gaze turned gloomy and said in a cold tone.
"Watch your tone, Monkey King. I am the Divine general of the Hindu Gods. I don't need to be jealous of some manipulated mortal."
"Since you say that, why don't you deliver this."
"It is beneath me to do so. I am not your courier."
"Is that so? If you don't do so, I might want to make you."
"You can try."
"Okay then, see you in the arena."
With that, he disappeared from the spot and reappeared in another dimension.
"The Great Sage Heaven's Equal, Monkey King is challenging Karthikeya."
As soon as his voice rang ten bright lights shone down from all sides and ten human silhouettes appeared.
One of them is Indra and another one of them is Gambler the rest are the remaining gods who chose players just like them.
The next second, the young man who talked to Monkey King appeared out of nowhere with a spear in his hand.
"Karthikeya, the God of War, the Divine General of the Hindu Gods, and the Son of the Shiva the Destroyer accepts the challenge."
Indra's silhouette looked at them and said.
"State the terms."
"I have an errand that I want Karthikeya to run for me." The Monkey King said without explaining much.
"I need the Monkey King's Heavenly wine. Twenty Gallons of it."
After that, one of them took the staff and another one took out a spear. The whole dimension quaked and it was on verge of collapse. But after one hour, the remaining ten gods announced the Monkey King as the winner, even though it is a neck and neck fight on the premise that he had done more damage to Karthikeya.
The fight was stopped because Karthikeya was about to use his trump cards. It would lead to catastrophic damage.
They don't want to see that happen. After all, two gods might perish with this. It is not exactly a good thing.
Karthikeya is gloomy, he didn't want to agree but he has no choice. After all, it is a dispute over some exchange of words, if the Monkey King didn't take it to fight he wouldn't have done so. All that damn monkey had to do was ask a bit more politely.
That was why this whole fiasco happened.
He didn't want to just do whatever the Monkey King asked. After all, he has his pride and he thought he deserved more respect from the Monkey King and particularly when he was the one asking favor.
But it seems that damn monkey would fight to the death than change his behavior.
He has all these thoughts in his mind as he returned to his palace.
Meanwhile, back in the mortal world, Sam doesn't know that the two gods fought over them because of him. Even though it is their own pettiness that caused this, he was the starting point. He is busy dealing with the third whirlpool for the day.
The third whirlpool is actually something he didn't expect because the water turned green as soon as he entered which affected his nose. There is a pungent smell of sea creatures rotting for thousands of years assaulting his nose.
One must think this is trivial. But imagine a sense of smell which is thousands of time stronger than a normal wolf. That is the sense of smell of a cultivator, but Sam is different, he has bloodlines of beasts and it is not wrong to say that he is a partial beast.
His sense of smell is way stronger than any cultivator at his level and the Raiju���s new bloodline he got made it worse.
He almost puked his guts out as soon as he entered this. He couldn't help but take out the breathing device and wear it so that he could keep himself from distracting by this smell. But it is not completely effective, he could still smell it. Not as intense as before, but sure it is not much better.
Sam never thought that one could use the sense of smell to this extent.
The contaminated water body didn't exceed the limit the whirlpool is covering. Sam has never felt his exceeding sense are a bane to him. But now it seemed so.
The battle was hard-fought and Sam has suffered some damage due to this disturbance.
After fighting for a while, Sam suddenly couldn't bear the smell anymore and felt like puking. As he tried to control this urge, he flinched a bit and all of sudden the water wave towered from above and collapsed into the water.
He could feel that the surrounding water is trying to crush him and his blood ran cold. He couldn't take it anymore and immediately entered the divine dimension and dragged the nearby Harbinger which just fell on the sea.
The crystal entered the sea and slowly started descending downwards.
Sam entered the divine dimension and started breathing heavily, he took out the breathing instrument and went on to deal with the injuries he had. His whole body was actually completely red at this moment and it is completely swollen.
The blood clotted in many areas. He closed his eyes and started healing himself, the first thing he did is control the spiritual energy and his muscle at the same time, to clear the blood clots, even if they tore open it is still better for him. It would be easier to heal.
After healing himself, he once again prepared to go out.
Sam closed his eyes and looked out to see the situation and he noticed that the crystal was stuck inside the whirlpool's eye on the see bed.
This is the only place with the least amount of motion.
Sam doesn't know if he could climb and the depth is too much, he doesn't know if he could take the pressure.
He wants to see if he could get out of this situation without taking any more damage.
