Chapter 2155 The Dashavatara -Part 23
Jin could not believe it. All this while, his perception of the Celestials was that its either he die or they die. But right now, because of the fact that he had the opportunity to negotiate, he had decided to gamble the entire work that he had put in for Ress for this chance.
He never expected it to work to be honest and it was just him attempting to try his hand on Lady Luck, hoping that he would get something in return from this gamble.
If this gamble truly works, it would be revolutionary for Jin mainly because, this will break the possible cycle of hate that this particular battle could occur the moment he killed all of the Dashavatara. Surely, Ress might live another day, a week, a year or maybe until the prophesised dateline but this would turn the tables around.
Why make war when he can make business? After all, from the experiences he had accumulated so far, he had used War and battles as a way to earn money. This was not an exception as well. He was thinking initially to use the death of the Dashavatara as a reputation among the Celestials.
As bad as his rep might be, and without the knowledge of the System able to revive the dead Celestials (unless he used his secondary System to resurrect the Celestials itno his cards.), he wanted to use this battle as a bargaining chip against the subsequent gods that come to hunt for him.
Of course, he still have his trump card, using Lord Vishnu if needed to calm things down. But right now, he had no idea that Kalki had future sight but at the very least knew the precarious situation the Celestials were in. The humans will win this battle regardless of the casualties and he had his System Minions to come in and fight whenever needed to reinforce the area.
There was no way the Celestials would be winning this fight unless there was a major God who noticed what was happening exactly and break through the interdimensional barrier that the System put up using the God of Preservation. This also meant that if a god could break Lord Vishnu's powers then it would be a god of epic proportions. Probably like Zeus or Odin.
At that point, it would be game over for Jin unless he managed to squeeze out some sympathy points from the Higher Gods and they allowed him to speak.
That was also another opportunity that he had to fight for whether he like it or not...which is why he felt relieved that he was able to use this chance miraculously created by Kalki in order to get the Celestials understand that Jin was preparing all of these in case of an invasion of the Celestials as a defensive deterrent rather than attempting to overthrow them.
Even with the Anti Celestial Compound, it would be a matter of time the Celestials found a way to get rid of the weakness just as how they were weak against Demon attacks but not as weak they would be, vice versa. It was only because of the lack of exposure to Void Energy that the Celestials might not be prepared for it and thus allowing Jin to take advantage of it.
But seeing that Parashurama listened to Kalki and they willingly entered the dungeon, Jin had prepared his 'foes' according to the fight. Besides, one would wonder how a certain Fox had not been in the scenes despite all the chaos that was happening. Even more so when there were tricksters pushing their magics all around the battlefield, making an invitation for the predator to come out and play.
Jin might had been prepared for a fight and a negotiation but he was not sure how long Kraft would remain 'obedient' until the said fight/negotiation.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
So, considering how he had endured this long to be in this particular position, Jin had gave him full rein of the dungeon instance, allowing him to shape it however he want so that when warring Celestials like Kalki and Parashurama entered the battle, he would be ready for such entities.
As such, the moment the two Dashavataras entered the portal, they were teleported into a land where it reeks of …flowers, particularly lotus flowers. Kraft was standing at the middle of a huge lake where those lotus flowers resided and he took a chair out of nowhere to sit like a king right in front of them.
Kalki and Parashurama immediately take their weapons out and Kraft shook his head.
"To think that through imitation of the King, I might be able to have a short talk with you, but it seems like all the Celestials only have one common goal in mind." Kraft looked up at them and smirked slowly.
This particular setting was something he had always wanted to try. To be a swordsman like Zeru but he was too lazy to learn the skills through time and experience. Thus, he merely looked at the fighting styles that Zeru had portrayed and attempted to copy them.
And with the infinite 'rights' that he had in this dungeon instance, Kraft unleashed the chi within him to create water clones that mimicked Zeru without disobeying the laws of the System.
Apparently, Jin did not know despite being in contact with the System for so long that there was actually a list of clauses that the Bellators and even the Original Bellator must abide. Thus, to be able to create all of these fake Zeru clones with just water was basically something of a side desire come true for Kraft.
But unlike the true manipulators of water, Kraft's clones looked rather adequate despite having the shape and form true towards Zeru. With a ever so slight nod from Kraft, those water clones immediately jumped from their position to pounce on the two Celestials who they had been waiting for.
Parashurama smiled as he finally get to put his axe to the use.
