Chapter 2722 - 908: This Is a True High-Stakes Gamble, My Friend
"Setting aside that strange metaphor of yours, how do you know Vam’s Divine Kingdom is gone? Isn’t your Power of Time supposed to be unable to spy on the Divine Spirits?"
Murphy said suspiciously,
"Did you suddenly super-evolve?"
"Don’t be ridiculous, if I could instantly super-evolve into a Digimon Pipi Snake Beast, I’d have already stormed the Divine Kingdom Lanyuntian of the Eastern Holy Spirit alone. But look at me now, do I look like I’m of the kind of Divine Beast lineage that could instantly super-evolve and multiply my combat power tenfold?"
Mannis didn’t hide his sources of information, mixing in a bit of a gossipy tone as he shared,
"It’s Vam’s Angry Hound Demigod Hayes who got sent to the Star Realm by the ’dog lover’ The Fury during the fall of the Divine Kingdom. Now he’s become a pitiful stray dog.
I’m quite well-informed in the Star Realm, so I naturally caught that unique ripple of time immediately. I guess Vam’s bad temper didn’t let the Subspace Shadow have a good time either. He likely detonated his own Divine Kingdom actively.
Tsk tsk, that’s ruthless...
In any case, Vam won’t stop until he’s had his fill of killing, that guy is a God of Faith who can run back to the material world anytime to hide. His rampant slaughter this time is probably a prelude to fleeing. If you want to take your chances, you’d better hurry.
Once Vam runs, even if you want to go, I’d still stop you. The risk of going to steal something right under Chaos Shadow’s nose without a big shot in front of you is just too high."
"Hmm... I’ll go take a look first."
Murphy made up his mind, first borrowing Monica’s trans-dimensional radar to accurately deliver him to the vicinity of that Subspace Battlefield, planning to lurk and observe first. If it’s feasible, he’ll take the risk; if not, he’ll retreat immediately.
But before setting off, Murphy still asked,
"Why are you so invested in this? Looking to score some benefits? If I really manage to get Old Su Head’s lost divine essence, would you want it?"
"Cough cough, I can’t take it, after all, it’s too valuable."
Mannis declined seriously, but then changed his tone, saying,
"But if you insist on giving it, given our relationship, if I refused too harshly, it would hurt the feelings of my best buddy Murphy~ so..."
"Haha, if one day I really plan to give that thing to you, you’d better prepare something for trade in advance, Mannis. Our friendship is great, but even close brothers should keep accounts clear, don’t you think?"
Murphy drew out his words,
"Though nothing has even started yet, I suggest you start considering it from now on."
"Wow! Is there really such a good opportunity? Haha, just you wait, I’ll trick Li Ji over, knock her out, and deliver her to you!"
Mannis, seeing Murphy really planning to take a chance, got excited and shouted,
"My good brother Murphy, even if you wanted the brightest star in the galaxy, Old Mannis would risk it all to get it for you! Damn, I knew tagging along with you would surely bring some tasty benefits, and at the very least, a sip of the soup."
"I told you, nothing’s set in stone yet, don’t overthink, stay calm, and let’s go back to blocking the gate at Klim Fortress for now."
Murphy voluntarily closed communication with the Endless One. He turned to look at Monica and shared his thoughts. The Elite Sentinel instinctively wanted to refuse taking Lord Administrator into such a dangerous situation, but after hearing Murphy’s speculation that the new gods might all get involved due to this matter, she fell silent.
As an Elite Sentinel who hadn’t lost her memory, she knew very well that if the Sentinel Corps couldn’t retrieve that artificial divine essence in time, Mr. Murphy’s grim prediction about the new gods was highly likely to come true.
"Let’s go take a look first."
Murphy said,
"Just a glance. If the situation allows, we’ll act. I also need to test whether my administrator privileges can detect the artificial divine essence in its trans-dimensional folded state. If it can’t be detected or obtained, then there’s no point in taking the risk."
"I’ll set the jump and return interval for the trans-dimensional radar at 0.5 seconds."
Monica said with a serious tone,
"If you can’t obtain the artificial divine essence codenamed ’God of the North Wind,’ I’ll get you out of subspace immediately."
"Alright, let’s do it that way!"
Murphy decided to take a gamble.
He used to think he wasn’t a gambler, but reality proved that no one isn’t a gambler. The difference only lies in whether the potential gains outweigh the rational refusal, and Mannis’s earlier statement "The greater the waves, the higher the price of the Big Fish" in the otherworldly idiom was as abstract and fitting for the current scenario as it could be.
"Won’t you even try to stop me, Adel?"
Murphy looked at E Sister, who was tightly holding his wrist, and said,
"I thought your rational mind as an Intelligence Officer wouldn’t agree with my decision at this time."
"Yet, that is a divine essence, my lord."
Adel said softly,
"No Intelligence Officer can remain rational in the face of such potential gains. I clearly know that obtaining such a thing at this stage will bring monumental benefits to your cause. It will become an unbeatable trump card for you.
You can use it to win over all existences, including the Divine Spirits.
Therefore, I would say, if there is any risk of failure in this venture, I am more than willing to serve as bait to help you accomplish this... I wholeheartedly volunteer, so that in every victorious moment of your future, I may live on in your heart forever.
