109: Chapter 19: Loss!

"Hehe, do you want to see if it's worth it?"

"Of course, I can let you obtain a second Mythic Class."

"Do you think this stake is enough?"

Ailithos's words were like a massive boulder cast into a calm lake, stirring up a titanic wave in Lu Yin's heart.

A second Mythic Class!

Even with Lu Yin's steady temperament, his breathing couldn't help but quicken for a moment.

Possessing one Mythic Class had already given him a starting point and potential that transcended common sense.

If he could get a second one... the significance was simply immeasurable.

This was indeed a stake he could not refuse.

Its value, as the God of Gambling said, was enough to rival the sum of the three artifacts given by the Dream God.

However, this did not make Lu Yin lose his reason.

He knew that in a game at the gambling table, he had no chance of winning.

To win against the God of Gambling, he had to look outside the gambling table.

"Enough."

"And I have decided on our duel."

After thinking for a while, Lu Yin suddenly showed a slight smile and said,

"Oh? What do you want to use to duel me?"

Ailithos showed an excited smile because of Lu Yin's answer.

She leaned forward slightly, extremely expectant of Lu Yin's choice.

"I want to have an equal-level battle with you. Whoever empties the other's health bar first wins."

Lu Yin replied confidently.

Since becoming a Professional, the only thing he was good at was fighting.

Hearing Lu Yin's proposed duel, Ailithos's figure shrouded in mist visibly paused for a moment.

Then, a more pleasant, even slightly teasing chuckle came from the mist.

"Battle? An equal-level battle?"

"Are you trying to experience true divine power with a mortal body?"

"Interesting, truly interesting."

"You don't naively think that humans... really possess the power to slay gods, do you?"

Facing this almost mocking question, Lu Yin's expression was exceptionally calm.

In those pitch-black eyes, there wasn't the slightest hesitation.

"Hehe, fine. Since you want to duel in this way, I will satisfy you."

As Ailithos's voice fell, except for the gambling table in front of them, the surrounding magnificent scenes and noisy crowds quickly faded away.

The ground beneath them, with the two at the center, turned into a giant Golden Arena.

In the center of the arena, Ailithos extended an arm and said,

"Please."

"I have suppressed my level to Level 3, and besides my initial talent, I will not use any skills beyond Level 30."

Seeing the God of Gambling agree, Lu Yin felt a slight joy in his heart.

He had absolute confidence in his combat power.

After all, besides the Three Legion Commanders, he also had Lin Xiao, a bug-level existence.

Plus his own six freakish Life Marks, he might not be able to defeat high-level gods, but could he not even beat a Level 3 god?

"Lord God of Gambling, it seems your Mythic Class will be mine."

A smile appeared at the corner of Lu Yin's mouth as he reached out his hand.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Hundreds of pitch-black magic circles lit up simultaneously around them, and all the Death Soldier swarmed out in full force!

The moment the Death Legion appeared, Lu Yin's mind moved.

Death Pierce!

Wrath of the End!

Demon Sealing Stab!

Ice Crystal Blast!

...

Various powerful skills of the Death Soldier were launched simultaneously, targeting Ailithos sitting opposite Lu Yin.

The three Demon Generals and the Three Legion Commanders also attacked together, each using their most powerful skills.

"Annihilation Judgment!"

The Death Soul Archer Krausi drew his bone bow, and a pitch-black arrow wreathed in an aura of annihilation tore through space!

Yarberna, Kasa, and Lin Xiao also erupted with terrifying auras, charging toward Ailithos.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the next second, the violent torrent of energy, enough to annihilate mountains and shatter the earth, slammed into Ailithos.

-3256543!

-1235646!

-2355657!

-35646!

...

Countless damage numbers emerged from the exploding energy, bringing a look of victory to Lu Yin's eyes.

This activation had caused over ninety million damage.

Even for a god, at Level 3, they couldn't possibly have nearly a hundred million health points, right?

However, when the energy dissipated, Ailithos sat there completely unharmed.

Even the hazy mist on her body hadn't dissipated in the slightest.

Lu Yin's pupils shrank; around Ailithos, he saw a transparent shield.

On that shield, the pattern found on the star essence was clearly imprinted.

"A decent offensive."

"For a human to burst forth with such power in an instant is indeed commendable."

"But unfortunately... you are facing a god."

She chuckled, her voice carrying some praise but mostly a condescending playfulness.

"Impossible!"

Lu Yin was first incredulous, then full of doubt.

"Even a Level 3 god couldn't possibly have a shield on the scale of hundreds of millions."

Hearing this, Ailithos let out a bell-like laugh.

"This is my divine talent."

"The money on me can be converted into a shield when I am attacked."

She lightly shook her lily-white fingertips, and a star essence appeared out of thin air, spinning elegantly.

"To put it simply, all the damage you deal to me will be blocked by my 'wealth'."

"That nearly 100 million damage you just dealt probably consumed... well, less than one ten-millionth of my pocket money."

Hearing this, Lu Yin's heart instantly sank.

He finally understood why the God of Gambling had so readily agreed to this seemingly fair level duel.

This wasn't a competition of combat skills at all, but a blatant crush of talent!

He had not expected that a god who clearly wasn't good at fighting would have such an unreasonable talent.

This, is the power of a god.

It was completely incomparable to the projections Lu Yin had defeated before.

"Now, it's my turn to attack."

Looking at the despairing Lu Yin, Ailithos chuckled and threw the star essence from her fingertips.

In the next instant, that single star essence transformed into thousands upon thousands.

Finally, it filled the entire sky!

Clatter!

Countless star essences in the void shot out like bullets, leaving Lu Yin and his Death Legion with nowhere to hide.

Lu Yin subconsciously activated Sovereign-Subject Link, but any Soldier of Death touched by the flying star essences had their health drop at a rate visible to the naked eye.

-1! -10! -10!

That seemingly insignificant damage was like a countdown to death, dense and endless!

In just a few seconds, the Death Soldier with low health had their health bars emptied, dissipating into wisps of smoke.

Seeing the Death Legion about to be wiped out, Lu Yin shouted with his eyes nearly bursting.

"Wait, Lord God of Gambling, I concede!"

From the moment Lu Yin learned of Ailithos's talent, he knew he couldn't possibly be her opponent.

This was the first time Lu Yin tasted the bitterness of defeat.
