Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Zeus looked at Hel with a frown.

He obviously didn't like what he was being told. There is no way his prideful nature will let him take this bullshit.

Hel looked at his unhappiness, but couldn't give two shits about it. He might be unhappy, but what she said is the truth. She doesn't have to actually care about what he is feeling. She already did him a lot favors and he wasn't able to do anything with his bad choice of a player.

"I don't care what we agreed up on before. I want you to do one more thing to deal with Sam and you will do it no matter the cost. You understand me?"

Zeus spoke in a cold tone.

Hel looked at him calmly and said.

"Zeus, for a prideful piece of shit, you just take your words back way too much. Do you know that?"

"You better listen to what I say and do what I want Hel, otherwise you wont be able to bear the consequences. So, work with me while I am still being nice."

"Don't try to get all superior with me Zeus. We were perfectly clear on our terms when we made the deal. You were clearly happy with them too. I delivered everything I promised. But you didn't do the same.

You failed to kill Sam. Now he is back in the game.

Good luck making him fall for the same shit again."

"I need you to manipulate the towers for him."

Hel who was about to give a piece of her mind to Zeus stopped and looked at him as if she is looking at an idiot.

"Please tell me I heard you wrong."

"No, you need to manipulate the tower difficulty. I don't care what you will do. But the difficulty should be off the charts.

You can say that he won't fall for the same shit twice. But he should fall again and we need to make sure of that."

"Have you lost your mind while fucking half of the Olympus? You want me to disrupt the dynamic of this competition and that too by manipulating the tower? Do you think it will just fly by? Gambler will really start a full fledged war.

He is going to tear open the void and will create a war where the people from celestial realms can directly attack each other.

Not in a regular realm war where we agree on terms and fight it out. A realm clash between realms. Do you even remember what the consequences were when that previously happened? Gods died. Literal GODS, that should have lived for eternity died just like that.

I don't want to be on the other end of Gambler's craziness."

"You believe every word he says? He is bluffing. Do you think other gods in the game are going to just sit back and watch?"

"I am not strong enough to deal with him, Hou Yi is a waste in front of him. Only people who have any real chance to deal with him are actually you, Karthikeya, and Sun Wukong. At least that is what I believe.

Sun Wukong doesn't give a fuck as long as things are entertaining to him. That too we are the ones who are messing with Sam constantly even after Gambler warned us. Karthikeya has way too big of a moral campus. So, there is that. Who else is going to fight that lunatic? You? Alone? Are you going to fight the Void dragon and all the beasts he is rearing as his underlings?

Good luck with that."

As she was speaking, Zeus didn't even bother to reply. Instead, he took out something and placed it in front of her.

It is a disc that seemed to be made out of dark black rock. A small hint of black smoke is coming out of it.

The surrounding grass started dying out and the area is filled with death energy.

Hel got stunned.

"Is it what I think it is?"

"Yes it is."

"How do you have it?"

"I am the leader of the Olympus. Don't ever ask those stupid questions. I can have whatever I want in Olympus and this thing is no exception."

"Yeah, yeah. I know. You don't need to show that off. Are you sure there is not going to be any problem with this disc? I don't want Hades to be on my ass after this."

"He won't. Because he doesn't know I have this and as long as you don't do something stupid, he won't know that you have this either.

So keep it on the down-low."

"If you are giving this out. Then the request must be huge as well. I am kind of scared to accept it. Let me hear the terms first."

"I want you to speed up the evolution time in Sam's towers. The creatures that are spawned because of his sins should all be rapidly evolving.

What you said is right. There is no way, he will fall for the same trap. Sam would be taking all kinds of measures to make sure that he won't be affected by the corruption next time.

But I don't want that. Even if he doesn't die, I want to make sure that the handicap he had because of his loss will not be wasted."

"Increase the evolution speed? Are you nuts? He is about to pass 2nd floor. He is already way ahead of other candidates in those terms. He is being watched by a lot of people. Both the gods and other players. There is no way we can hide that from them."

"You can figure that out yourselves. That is your problem. But I told you what I wanted to tell you. So, if you really want this disc as much as I think you want it. Solve this problem and let me know."

With that, he took the disc and disappeared from that spot.

He was dumbfounded. The offer is tempting. All she has to do is make Sam suffer, which is not exactly something she is unwilling to do. She might even enjoy it a lot. But there is a great chance that she would be unable to take what comes from the Gambler.

He is a maniac and lunatic. She doesn't know if she can bear those consequences.

But when she remembered the disc and what she could do with it... the temptation is way too alluring.

As she was thinking, all of a sudden she remembered something.

She called her subordinates.

"I have a task for you and you only have two days to finish it.

I heard that at one point Gambler released some special tokens. A token holder can ask Gambler to grant any wish. They were specifically released only in Gambler's turf. I need you guys to find who still holds those tokens.

Find someone and buy as many as can.

No, no. Not as many as you can. Buy everything that is still in circulation. You have to two days to finish this and get back to me. If the task is delayed or if you fail to finish it, you are all going to be trapped in the cursed soul lake.

Do you guys understand?"

"Yes, Madam."

Everyone left the place.

Two days went away in a flash.

Everyone came back. Some people had tokens in their hands. Some people didn't. But there are only five of those in total. Way less than what she expected.

"I am sure there must be more than five tokens in circulation. There is no way there are only five. You fucking failed at your task."

She took the tokens and waved her hand.

The whole group disappeared. They were all pushed into the cursed soul lake that Hel mentioned previously. Their souls were subjected to torture that they never even dared to imagine.

Hel didn't even care about what was happening to them. She just looked at those tokens and held them tightly.

She gritted her teeth and took out a different communication token.

"I agree with your plan. Come here. We can discuss the remaining details and proceed further."

"I will be right there."

Zeus arrived within a few minutes. He took out the disc and handed it over to Hel.

"I can't promise you too much. Definitely not as much as you expect. I will give Dayus a slight advantage.

His body will not be affected by the corruption as the others. Even though that will reduce the body tempering speed, he can clear more towers than the others in the same time frame. The tempering he misses in the quality can be covered with the quantity.

As for Sam, as you said, I will increase the evolutionary speed. But I will decide the pace of it. You have no involvement.

As soon as there is even a slight suspicion from other gods and players, I will not continue with it. I will stop it and all the blame should be carried by you.

We are good to go if you agree to all of these terms."
