"If you can't do it, don't think that others can't do it either."
Downton glanced at Mueller with such contempt that he almost pissed him off.
"I want to see how you die."
Muller crossed his arms and could hardly think about the chess game.
"You have already given examples, but you still dare to look down on me. Very good, tell me your other requests!" Black Shadow is not stupid, knowing that Downton must have restrictions.
"Are you crazy?" Sissi quickly covered Downton's mouth and begged the fearful monarch, "Don't listen to him, he is talking nonsense."
Dupont looked at Downton blankly, with a look of surprise on his face, and his brows were furrowed enough to pinch a sea crab to death. He really couldn't figure out how this kid could defeat the black shadow.
Beyoncé played with the dagger, looked at Downton with great interest, stretched out her red lips and licked the corners of her mouth, her admiration was beyond words.
"Interesting, keep going!"
Looking at the stubborn Downton, applause rang out in the hall. This was the reward given by the black shadow to Downton. No one had ever dared to bargain with it like this, but it also understood that the other party's request was definitely not finished, because no one would
Make rules that are detrimental to yourself.
"I don't need to attach my soul to the sixteen chess pieces. There is no way. This pain will affect my extreme thinking speed."
Downton shrugged his shoulders.
"It actually doesn't hurt that much."
Muller bared his teeth.
"agree!"
Black Shadow had no accidents. He had tasted the pain of soul tearing, which was more cruel than Lingchi's execution. If he wanted to remain calm in this kind of pain, to be honest, he couldn't do it unless he shielded his nerves.
"And you, as the fearful monarch and the great devil of the abyss, losing a little soul is really not painful for you. This is different from the stimulation you mentioned."
Downton continues.
"What on earth does this kid want to do?"
Even the cheap god couldn't guess Downton's plan.
"Haha, you want me to give up an extra part of my soul?" The Terrible Lord sneered, "Let me remind you, I am different from you. Even if my soul is divided into many parts, I will not feel too much pain. You want to use this method to influence me?
It is impossible to succeed in chess."
"Whether it will succeed or not is not up to you." Downton pressed his hands down, "Listen to me, I have already mapped out a sixty-four-step dead end. I think you should pay some price. This is only fair.
"
"I agree, you set the conditions."
Black Shadow is very angry and doesn't bother to argue with Downton.
"It's better not to make a decision so quickly. Just listen to my rules." Downton sneered, "I'll save you regrets."
"pretty!"
Homer praised, fearing the monarch's self-esteem, it would be a huge shame if he broke his promise. The more Downton provoked him, the less likely he would go back on his word.
"No matter what, I agree."
There was anger in the voice of the black shadow. "Let's start quickly, but I want to make a statement. You are not allowed to use delaying tactics. You only have five minutes for each move. If you don't make a move, you will lose."
"No problem, then follow my rules." Downton raised his index finger. "When I make a move, you put a soul into the first square on the chessboard. When I make a second move, you are on the second.
Put two souls in each grid, and I will take the third step. You will place four souls, and so on."
"In other words, every time Downton takes a step, you have to place double the souls of the previous square on the next square."
Following Downton's instructions, Homer returned to grimoire state and spoke.
"Who are you?"
The shadow asked.
"It is my mentor, born in the magical civilization of Netheril, the ancient great grimoire, the omniscient scholar, the great encyclopedia, Lord Homer."
Downton stretched out his left arm and introduced arrogantly.
"Well, I can feel the wisdom contained in it. So this is your trump card?"
The black shadow couldn't help but look at it.
"A grimoire of wisdom?"
Beyoncé's eyes lit up, showing a greedy look. This is definitely an artifact. You must know that in this world, knowledge is the most precious wealth.
"I will not fight for my apprentice!"
Homer has always been proud, and his arrogant attitude can be seen clearly without any need to show off.
"You look down on me?"
Black Shadow snorted coldly.
"This is your battle. My apprentice can defeat you. He has lost less than a hundred games since he learned chess."
Homer spoke pure Netherese, and displayed magic flame text floating in the air.
"It's such a long time ago!"
Looking at these, Heiying couldn't help but sigh.
"Don't worry about memories. Do you agree with my rules?" Downton asked, "Even if you are the King of the Abyss, it will still hurt if your soul is torn apart."
"Hmph, it's just a small trick. If my soul is split, my strength will be weakened. Do you plan to take the opportunity to kill me? Let me tell you, that is impossible. Even if my soul is split into a million parts, it will be enough to kill you all instantly."
Heiying did a rough calculation and felt that it was divided into tens of thousands of copies. The trump card of this human being is probably the magic book. No, the magic book is a cover. The real killing move should be the soul in that book.
The fearful monarch's soul perception is not comparable to that of other fishes. It has noticed the soul fluctuations of the cheap god.
"Downton, if it wants to devour me, I'm afraid I'm going to be in a difficult battle."
The Cheap God complained that if he had not listened to Downton and deliberately created fluctuations, the Fearful Lord would not have discovered it.
"Help, I need to distract it now. If it calculates the soul it needs to pay, I will lose."
Downton was very anxious and feared that the dark shadow would plot his plans, so he displayed the grimoire, revealed the God of Cheap, and talked about the Netherese civilization, all in order to distract the dark shadow.
"I will decide the legacy of the Barbarian King, and I will also record this battle. If I am defeated by the Terrible Monarch in sixty-four moves, I will be the number one chess player in the Western Continent, and my family will also receive great glory.
"
A fanatical expression appeared on Downton's face, and he took out a Divi crystal and pointed it at the black shadow, "If you refuse, this is the best opportunity."
"Human, I will make you miserable."
The black shadow of the person photographed by the Divi Crystal was extremely angry. It believed that it had been slighted. How could it possibly regret it? Downton's actions were a huge insult.
"Then sign the death contract!" Downton snapped his fingers, "Homer!"
Whoosh!
The soul flame burned, and two contracts written in magic flame words appeared in front of Black Shadow and Downton.
Downton signed his name without any hesitation.
"How do I think you will die?"
A spot of light shot out from the black shadow and turned into a name on the parchment.
Whoosh!
The contract was established, and after burning, it turned into two demon heads and shot into the eyebrows of the two people.
"Huh? Aren't you afraid of cheating?"
Mueller was a little anxious. He was suddenly worried that Downton would win, but it seemed that winning would be beneficial to him.
"Humph, what the devil is best at is using contracts and power to seduce various races into corruption. Before I became famous, I signed millions of contracts. Do you think I can't see the flaws in them?" Black Shadow urged, "Let's start now.
, Don’t worry, I won’t let you die happily.”
"Then, I'll go first."
Downton suppressed himself from laughing out loud. Of course, the black shadow couldn't see the flaw. Because there was no real killer move in this plan. It was those splitting souls. He did so much just to prevent the fearful monarch from letting go.
to calculate.
"It's your turn!"
Sissi urged.
The black shadow took a casual step, then looked at Downton and laughed.
"Why are you laughing? Release your soul!"
Sissi frowned.
"I laugh at you for being stupid. There is no stipulation on the size of the soul to be released each time. It is only stipulated that it must be the same each time. Then can I not choose a very small part?"
After hearing what Black Shadow said, Downton's body started to tremble, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Haha, cleverness is mistaken for cleverness, right?"
The black shadow divided the soul into ten million parts and took out one part. It was about to put it on the chessboard, but for some reason, looking at Downton's expression, it always felt that it had missed something, so out of caution, it divided the soul again.
Ten billion copies were put up.
"Ten billion copies, my soul can fill the entire tomb of the Barbarian King." The black shadow laughed, "Hurry up, you will lose when five minutes are up."
"Losing? That's you!"
Downton's move, the question now is, how not to be defeated within fifty steps, well, not even sixty-four steps.
The two people were going back and forth, fighting frequently. After the eight cells in the first row were filled, a total of 128 souls were used, the black shadow teased.
"Is this your tactic?"
"Don't be impatient, keep going!"
Tang Dunxin said, it’s your turn to be embarrassed next.
Beyoncé couldn't figure it out, so she was confused, while Dupont and Muller had serious expressions on their faces, because they calculated and found that the souls consumed after each square were a large number that doubled.
By the time the second row was over, the Dreadful Monarch had no time to spare and had no words to speak. It didn't even stop talking. It was not an idiot, so it had already noticed the problem.
At the end of sixteen grids, it paid 32768 souls.
"Maybe I'm too nervous, no, nervous? I haven't felt this way for a long time, but this kind of gratitude is very exciting."
Black Shadow thought about it for a moment and continued playing chess, but soon lost his cool.
Fifteen minutes later, the black shadow shook violently, obviously suffering a huge setback, because it only took thirty steps and had to pay more than hundreds of millions of souls.
"How can this be?"
Dupont, who had always been calm and composed, was dumbfounded. He continued to do mental calculations and found that the number had exceeded his calculation scope.
"Impossible, what's wrong with you, how can you win over the Terrible Monarch?" Mueller looked at the chessboard with a ferocious expression, and roared loudly, "How can such a small chessboard, with only sixty-four squares, not fit one billion pieces?
soul?"
"What's going on?" Sissi looked at Downton dumbfounded, "You already knew the answer, right?"
"What is the final number to fill in these grids?"
The black shadow asked in a hoarse voice. It didn't have enough souls, so it had lost.
"No less than 180 billion trillion!"
Downton reported a number.
"How much is this?" Beyoncé no longer cared about playing with daggers and asked others, "Is he lying? There are units like trillions?"
"Yes, it's a very big unit."
Dupont recovered from the shock. He didn't expect that Downton would win in this way. It was simply amazing, but what should he do? Let him take away the Barbarian King's inheritance? (To be continued...)
