Chapter 201: God Is Joking, While Man Is Enduring
“Trade? You still want to trade? Your life is already mine. I can kill you at any time. What capital do you have to gamble with me?”
The Protoss looked at Vincent with disdain. He did not care about his performance at all.
However, what he said to Vincent earlier had completely exposed his mentality.
Vincent smiled slightly. He had confirmed that the Protoss was a race that had a stomachache. As long as he put forward some challenges that were interesting to them, they would not be able to refuse him!
“How about this, we can make a bet. If I can fulfill my promise within ten years, I will get my life back. If not, you can do whatever you want with me!” said Vincent to the Protoss.
The Protoss supported his chin with his hand. He then shook his head and said, “No, no, no! A deal between an ant and a God shouldn’t be so proactive. That would be too cheap! How about this? If you win, you can keep your life, but if you lose, I’ll destroy the entire Human Race!”
After hearing this, Vincent’s pupils shook crazily. He shook his head and said, “Impossible! I won’t use the fate of the Human Race as a bargaining chip!”
“What? Are you qualified to make such a choice in front of me?” said the Protoss proudly.
Vincent insisted, “I am only a member of the Human Race. I cannot make any decision on behalf of the Human Race. I am not qualified to use the Human Race to make a deal with you. So, I will not make a bet with you on this. If you are not satisfied, you can find another condition!”
“Find a new condition?”
The Protoss frowned as he thought about it. He was a little tired of Vincent’s proposals.
After so many years, if the Protoss Race could still find something interesting, they would not have to look around to observe the other races!
Vincent could tell that the Protoss was annoyed and said, “Maybe you can think of another way. If I cannot hold up my end of the bargain, then you can make my death more ugly. This is the price that I can pay!”
The Protoss seemed to be inspired by Vincent. A strange smile appeared on his face, causing Vincent’s hair to stand on end.
“What you said made me think of a place and a brand new way to play this game! Do you want to try it with me?” said the Protoss. He turned to look at Vincent.
Vincent did not know what terrible things were awaiting him, but he was certain that it would not be a good idea if it was thought of by the Protoss.
However, for the safety of the Human Race, in order to maintain the relationship with the Protoss, Vincent could only nod and say, “Okay!”
The Protoss nodded in satisfaction. He then raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
The scene in front of Vincent became blurry again. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at an extremely unfamiliar place.
He could only confirm that he was still somewhere in the Black Hole world. However, it was a scene that Vincent had never seen before.
At that moment, Vincent was standing at the edge of a cliff. In front of him was an endless abyss that was emitting green light.
Vincent could vaguely see some ugly monsters that were emitting green liquid all over their bodies. They were constantly crawling towards the outside of the abyss.
They were of high level, powerful, and highly toxic!
This was Vincent’s first impression of the monsters.
“This place is called the Highly Toxic Abyss. The exit is currently sealed. Of course, it’s also because I made a deal with another race. Based on this, it should have been more than 500 years ago!”
The Protoss boasted to Vincent.
Vincent could tell that the Protoss was not showing off his ability to seal a space, but rather how he had found some fun 500 years ago.
“In that case, it was also a race that had suffered from the invasion of the Black Holes. It seems like they have been at peace for 500 years!” Vincent sighed.
The Protoss’s expression changed slightly. He nodded and said, “That’s right, they have been at peace for 500 years! If you can complete our next deal, perhaps the Human Race can also get 500 years of peace!”
Vincent frowned and said, “Tell me! What do you want me to do?”
The Protoss pointed at the toxic abyss under his feet and said, “Below is a secondary space that was born from a crack in the Black Hole. Although the creatures inside have extremely low intelligence, their strength is not weak compared to you. They are comprised of level one to level 20 creatures, and they are everywhere. What’s even more exciting is that there is a poison that you humans cannot fight against!”
“And then?” asked Vincent indifferently. He let out a long sigh.
The Protoss smiled and said, “I will send you to the bottom of the toxic abyss. If you are able to kill your way back up and break my shackles, even if we made the previous deal, you will still be able to live and make the next deal with me!”
Vincent took a deep breath. His heart was cold.
Not to mention the powerful creatures in the toxic abyss, just the toxic environment alone was difficult for Vincent to survive in. Plus, he also had to break the Protoss’s shackles.
Such a challenge was almost impossible to complete, but Vincent had no way out. He could only face the difficulty head-on!
“Okay! We’ll do it according to your rules!” said Vincent whilst nodding.
The Protoss saw that Vincent had agreed to his challenge so firmly. He was a little lost. He could not help but ask, “This is not a simple challenge for you, do you have the confidence to do it?”
Vincent shook his head and said frankly, “No! So can you give me some hints?”
The Protoss was at a loss for words. He even regretted asking such a question, but after some consideration, he still said, “Alright, I’ll give you some hints! We Protoss have no intention to target any kind of ant race, so the prohibitions we set up in any world can actually be broken by rules. Just like how you broke through the restrictions I put on the humans, the method to break the toxic abyss barrier is actually in the abyss. It’s just that those ugly and dirty creatures inside it have yet to discover such intelligence!”
“Waiting for a race without intelligence to give birth to intelligence is one of the pleasures of the Protoss Race, right?” asked Vincent with a smile.
The Protoss nodded and said with great admiration, “Interesting! If you weren’t too weak, you would be quite suitable to be a Protoss!”
Vincent’s lips suddenly curled into a smile. He said to the Protoss, “You mean to say that the Protoss Race is not a simple race, but a race that can be promoted?”
The Protoss did not intend to hide the fact and said casually, “Your guess is right, but with your current strength, it’s too early to think about it! Wait until you climb out of the toxic abyss, then we can talk about it!”
Vincent shook his head and asked again, “There’s something I want to confirm with you. When I complete the challenge and open the hole of the toxic abyss, the nearby race world will suffer?”
“That’s right!”
The Protoss nodded.
Vincent frowned and said, “You want me to protect the Human Race by exterminating another race as the price?”
“Yes!”
The Protoss admitted it. He smiled and said, “Of course, this bet was made on the spur of the moment. You might be able to find a flaw in it, and there might be a way for you to get the best of both worlds!”
Vincent clenched his teeth and nodded, “Okay! Let the challenge begin!”
The current Vincent and the entire Human Race were too weak. He had no right to refuse the Protoss’s seemingly joking game.
As he was facing the strong, he could only choose to endure. Only by enduring humiliation and oppression, and finding a strong opportunity in a desperate situation, could he seek a chance to counterattack!
The Protoss nodded and said to Vincent, “I wish you good luck. I will always be here to watch your challenge!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Protoss snapped his fingers again, causing Vincent to disappear on the spot instantly.
Before Vincent could react, the scenery in front of him had changed. His environment turned green.
“F*ck!”
Vincent cursed angrily. He did not expect to be teleported to the bottom of the toxic abyss so quickly. It seemed that the Protoss had not used all his strength when he teleported with him.
Vincent could not think too much at that moment. He immediately held his breath and released psionic power to wrap his entire body. He wanted to prevent the poisonous gas from entering his body.
However, he was unable to maintain this state for long. Vincent knew that he had to find a way to survive for a long time!
As he looked around, Vincent discovered that the toxic abyss was a funnel-shaped space. The bottom was not spacious, and everything around him could be seen.
There were many dark green crystals at the bottom of the abyss. They were flickering with light.
Every time the light of a crystal turned from dark to bright, a poisonous monster would emerge from the crystal!
The poisonous monsters that were born from the crystal were only level one creatures. They would instinctively devour each other. The monsters that survived would become stronger and stronger.
The poisonous monsters that were stronger would climb up the abyss and try to devour the even stronger ones!
Vincent thought to himself, “As expected, they are a group of monsters without intelligence or even rationality!”
Although he had no intention of being responsible for all the worlds in the Black Holes, only by destroying these monsters could the Black Hole settle down and maintain relative peace!
At the same time, some of the newly born monsters had also turned to look at Vincent. It was as if he had aroused their appetite.
“You want to eat me? Then you’ve found the wrong opponent!”
Vincent sneered and took advantage of the fact that he was still able to hold his breath. He immediately waved his hand and summoned World Cleansing Fire. He launched an indiscriminate attack at his surroundings!
“Flame Extinguishing Gods!”
The surging flames instantly engulfed all the monsters. However, it did not stop the monsters.
This was because Vincent’s target was not the level one creatures that were surrounding him, but the green crystals that were giving birth to monsters continuously.
Pulling the plug was the choice of a highly intelligent life form!
