Chapter 186: Frustration
Mike was slightly stunned. He turned to look at Arthas.
Arthas was still the same. He wore a black robe and held a sickle. He had a sinister smile on his face.
Mike did not answer immediately. He was trying to figure out the meaning behind Arthas’s words.
Perhaps, just like last time, Arthas still wanted to find someone to help him kill the believers of the Ragnaros Cult?
This was very possible.
After thinking through this point, Mike nodded and said,
“I know. You’re looking for someone to help you with something.”
The reason why he continued to talk to Arthas was to see if he could complete a deal like last time.
If he succeeded, perhaps Mike could find a way to return.
Arthas smiled in satisfaction and looked at Mike.
“You know, I was wondering if you were lying to me.
“But since you can say this, it proves that your words have some credibility.
“I am indeed looking for someone to do something. Do you think you can do it?”
Mike finally smiled. This was the first time he felt confident after coming to the Tower of Challenges.
There was no need to test him.
“Not only do I know that I’m capable, but I can also tell you with absolute certainty.
“In the other world, I’ve completed the task you have assigned me.”
This was what he relied on.
Maybe in this world, Mike could not be resurrected.
Maybe in this world, Mike could not guarantee that he could deal with the gods.
However, it would not be a problem to deal with some people from the Ragnaros Cult.
Moreover, Mike did not plan to raise the stakes this time. He only intended to kill one archbishop of the Ragnaros Cult.
He just wanted to know how to go back as soon as possible.
However, Arthas’s words made him puzzled again.
“Alright, since you have ‘work experience’, then I’ll leave this job to you.
“Go help Ragnaros get rid of the guy who got in his way, and I’ll tell you how to return.”
Mike was completely dumbfounded. He had never expected this answer.
Help Ragnaros get rid of the guy who got in his way?
Weren’t Arthas and Ragnaros sworn enemies?!
Why would Arthas help Ragnaros now?
Could it be that the difference between parallel worlds was so great?
Mike narrowed his eyes and asked,
“Who is the guy you said that was in Ragnaros’s way?”
Hearing this, Arthas did not answer immediately but sneered again.
This time, his body emitted a cold murderous aura.
“Human, did you know that you’ve just made a fatal mistake?
“Your words have just exposed you.”
“Wait, what do you mean?” Mike frowned slightly and became nervous again.
“I noticed that you are lying, human!
“If you really did come from another parallel world and had helped me complete this task, how could you not know who the target in question is?”
Mike opened his mouth but could not say a word.
Arthas’s logic was correct.
It looked like Mike was indeed lying.
However, that was not the case. Arthas’s mission at that time was not about this matter.
Looking at Arthas who was approaching step by step, Mike could only explain.
“In that world, what you asked me to do was not this!”
“Then, what did I ask you to do?”
Arthas’s scythe was already on Mike’s neck as he asked coldly.
This time, Mike was speechless again.
If Mike told Arthas that he had asked him to kill all the believers of Ragnaros, would Arthas believe it?
Absolutely not!
This would only cause trouble for Mike.
Now that the God of Death’s scythe was at his neck, he did not have much time to think.
He could only make a bold decision.
“There may be some mistakes, but I can prove that I helped you because you gave me a special reward.”
Without waiting for Arthas to answer, Mike took out the black book from his backpack.
Law!
After reading the book, Arthas was slightly stunned.
His empty eyes seemed to be staring at Law.
“This book… What is it?”
“Ah?” Mike was stunned again.
“This is Law. Don’t you know it? You gave it to me!”
Mike was about to break down.
This Second World was completely different from the Second World he knew!
Everything was different!!!
Seeing Mike’s excited look, Arthas revealed a mocking smile.
“Humans, how interesting.”
He slowly withdrew the sickle in his hand, stretched out the skeleton hand, and grabbed Law.
The next moment, he revealed a sinister smile.
“Since you said that I gave this to you, then return it to me.”
As Arthas’s skeletal hand pulled, the book, Law left Mike’s hand.
Looking at the law, Mike’s eyes widened.
“Wait, what do you mean?!”
“What do you mean? Do you really think that humans can communicate with God on equal terms?”
Arthas looked at Mike with his empty eyes and said word by word,
“In the eyes of us gods, you are just ants that can be easily crushed to death.
“You are toys, chess pieces, objects for our entertainment.
“Your lives are short and have no value. Your dignity and beliefs are extremely laughable in our eyes.
“Do you understand, human?”
Mike gritted his teeth and listened to Arthas’s words.
His eyes were almost bloodshot.
Law meant a lot to him, and now, he had lost it.
If he was in the game’s Second World, Mike would have pulled out his weapon by now.
However, now, he could not do that.
Because he did not have a spiritual sense. He was just an ordinary adventurer.
No, here, he was not even an adventurer.
Just as Arthas had said, he was just a human, a toy, a chess piece, and an insect.
He was not qualified to challenge the gods.
He did not even have the ability to protect himself.
Arthas saw Mike’s anger, but he also saw his timidity.
He mocked Mike with a tone that seemed to be in pity.
“As before, the God of Death never lies.
“Since I received this… meaningful book from you.
“I would naturally give you some benefits.”
Arthas looked at the heavily panting Mike, and said in a pranking manner,
“I can answer your ‘how can I return’ question. My answer is…
“I don’t know.”
Hearing this, Mike’s eyes instantly widened.
He had been pranked!
The purple magic circle once again appeared below the God of Death, Arthas’s legs. Then, his body gradually sunk into the ground.
“I never said anything about knowing how you can return to your previous world, so I’m not lying.
“The God of Death never lies.
“Hahahahahahaha!”
The God of Death slowly sunk into the magic circle and gradually disappeared.
On the top floor of the Tower of Challenges lingered Arthas’s mocking laugh.
