Chapter 851 Backstabbing Odin
/// A/N - To not hurt anyone's religious sentiments, I've decided to change the name Brahma to Bavuma for future references. But they are the same character, sorry for the inconvenience///
—--------
Bavuma opened his golden eyes and exerted his full pressure on Odin.
He was aware about the scheming ways of the old soulmancer and wanted to make it clear that although he had once again become active in the universe, he was not going to dance to Odin's tune.
" Why must you exert your pressure on me? You know I'm loyal to you, master- " Odin said as he acknowledged Bavuma as his master.
Just like Rudra, Bavuma was also someone who had the potential to reach the celestial realm and fight the perfect warrior.
For Odin, he was a similar prospect when compared to Rudra and hence he was quick to acknowledge him as his master.
" No need for formalities old friend, we both know you don't mean it " Bavuma said as he made it clear that Odin's antics fooled no-one here.
" Why did you summon me here? What are you planning? " Odin asked curiously as the re-entry of such a major player in the universe was an interesting prospect for him.
" My plan is to take down the new kid Shakuni and form a double celestial core before ascending.
While I'm sure I can take the boy down in one vs one combat, him being the inheritor of three different seeds makes the fight unpredictable.
It feels unfathomable to me that he can temper the seed of chaos and the seed of knowledge at once.
However, it just goes to show how much the universe has progressed in my slumber … " Bavuma noted as Odin pursed his lips.
If possible he did not want Bavuma to kill Rudra as both of them were equally important prospects in Odin's eyes. However, if he had to make a distinct choice between Bavuma and Rudra, he would choose Rudra anyday as Shakuni's ability to plot and scheme was unparalleled.
Odin believed that given enough time, Rudra had what it took to defeat the perfect warrior and hence there was no way in hell he was going to let Bavuma go after him.
" Okay…. So what do you need me for? " Odin asked cautiously as he did not understand why this old freak had summoned him.
" I need you to tell me the location of the other seeds that are not in Shakuni's possession.
I need the seed of time, void and space with me if I wish to have any chance of taking him down.
Naturally, I'll reward you handsomely for the same " Bavuma said as he stroked his long beard as a sinister plan immediately began developing in Odin's mind.
Odin knew the exact whereabouts of the seed of time, it was currently being controlled by Rudra's younger brother and the True Elites guild and leading Bavuma there could lead to a bloody affair.
If Odin played the situation correctly, he could let the guildmaster of the elites die in battle against Bavuma while swooping in at the last moment to save Rudra's brother.
If he timed it perfectly, then him saving Max would coincide with Rudra's arrival at the spot as he would witness Odin's loyalty and then proceed to wipe the floor against Bavuma.
Not only would this eventually lead to Bavuma being forced to retreat, it would also restore Rudra's faith in him as a loyal servant.
Becoming a vengeful beast after losing his friend, Rudra would then relentlessly search for Bavuma and in his vengeful state of mind, Odin believed that he could perhaps slip in yet another stone under his possession.
" I need more time to get you the exact locations of the seeds master, but I shall be back with a concrete answer very soon" Odin said in the most servile voice ever as nobody standing across him could ever imagine that this was the same man who had plotted Bavuma's demise in his head mere seconds ago.

( meanwhile Max )
Max understood the importance of keeping his growth rate steady at all costs.
With the time chamber up and running once more, he knew that even if he spent only a few days inside the chamber while practising in the ultimate levelling pagoda, he could gain several levels and improve by leaps and bounds.
So far, the pagoda had been a huge hit amongst both the elites and within Max's faction as his army commanders like DarkSorrow and other legion commanders took full advantage of it to improve their strength.
The time chamber did change a lot from Max's last visit inside the artefact in the sense that it was full of hustle and bustle instead of the serene calm that he was used to.
It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, however, he did feel nostalgic about the good old days when he trained here as a mortal in peace.
" So, even the great Max Rajput does take a break to enjoy the scenery every now and then…. " A familiar voice commented as Max turned to face guildmaster Neatwit.
A soft smile appeared on Max's face as he could pretty much say the same for Neatwit.
If the man wasn't busy with guild operations he would be levelling up like a freak, however, burdens like family and guild affairs had slowed his growth in the past few years.
" You know, if you have a lot of backlog for administrative work, you can just enter the chamber and take as long as you need to finish it and by the time you're outside it's only been 10 or so odd minutes, giving you the entire day for leisure.
It's almost too good to be true- " Neatwit observed as people had begun using the time chamber for more creative purposes rather than just training in recent times.
In a way, Neatwit's observation was on point, if Max ever felt overburdened he could potentially use the time chamber in such a way, however, it almost felt criminal to do something like that.
