"What are you looking at? Let me go." She yelled at him once again.

"You are not going anywhere. In fact, after learning of your identity, I would be stupid if I let you go. You are an obvious violation of rules and I don't know how you managed to hide it from the rest of the gods, but I am going to burst your bubble."

"Really? Is that all you got? I heard you are very good at fighting with gods when they are on the same level as you. Why don't you try and do that with me? Kill me if you can."

Sam made a large rock appear with the earth element and sat on it before saying calmly.

"Do you really think I would fall for such a cheap trick? Provocation to fight? I am way beyond that. But if you answer some of my questions, I might let you go. Why are you participating in this game like this? Is it really that important to win in this game? You went as far as cheating like this. I thought gods have some dignity when I came into this world, but it seems like you guys are all dying to prove me wrong."

"What the hell do you know?" She only replied with that but didn't answer at all.

"You know what, I will come straight to the point. I am going to kill you today. One way or the other. But I will give you a choice, if you give me some idea on what the hell this game is, you will die in a single second, otherwise, I will give you the worst of tortures."

"Hahaha… You are a kid alright. Do you really think you can kill me? The most you could do is kill Beryl and destroy a fragment of my soul. This is not my original body and this is not my complete soul. The moment you kill me, you would be making me a permanent enemy of yours.

I might not be able to take action directly, but I can make your life living hell until you reach a certain stage where I can meet you directly and I will kill you then."

"Sounds like a plan then. But I do have one question. Is it you or Beryl that killed my friend?"

"Do you think I will stoop so low as killing the rest of the players myself? She is the one who killed them, I was just here for guiding her and to save her in times like this."

"Well that would be enough, so you can leave now."

With that, Sam snapped his fingers and the runes drawn inside the thunder prison started glowing. They are all drawn with his own blood. This is a similar kind of soul extraction.

He threw a block of metal inside and the runes started moving towards it and after all of the runes gathered block flew and touched Beryl on the forehead.

By now, she is trying her best to destroy the thunder prison, she even tapped into the power that is beyond that and she even made a futile attempt of destroying the block of metal.

But there is some kind of inscription on it that blocked the flames.

Beryl looked at Sam and yelled.

"Don't you dare, let me out of that metal box. Otherwise, I will go to hell and back to get revenge."

And then it changed to Hel.

"I will be waiting for you in the higher realms, I will not kill you directly. I will throw you into hell with your body intact as you suffer from your own guilt for all eternity."

"Good luck with that."

Sam replied nonchalantly and Beryl's body stopped moving.

Sam just burned it off.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH."

Beryl's voice could be heard from the Block of metal, she screamed in agony as she saw herself burning.

"This is just the beginning, Beryl. You and I are going to have a lot of time together."

He said as he let lightning energy enter the cube and she screamed once again.

"You might become the biggest stress reliever in this world."

Sam left the place to return to the city. His troops are on verge of breakthroughs and in this month, he might be gaining more than Hundred Astral Plane cultivators and he already gained ten of them through his own training and another five Raijus along with some Astral Plane beasts he captured from the Unconquered realm.

He is going to be one of the most powerful men in this world within the medium realms.

For the next month, he supervised the breakthroughs.

The rest of the players are also preparing for the breakthrough.

They are all tense and looking forward to seeing what they are going to do in the future at the same time.

By the end of the month, everyone has broken through and they all agreed to meet in the city to have dinner together.

They don't know exactly what would happen in the future. But they felt like it is a good thing to have a normal dinner forgetting about all the tensions they have and enjoy a moment of peace here.

Mackey was called over to cook the special meal.

He is already a Consummate stage cultivator and his restaurant was already inherited by his disciple. He is currently in food research and recipe making as he roamed around the Desolate and other realms that the organization is working in.

He came here to cook a large table and he kept on cooking as he knew their appetites will be large.

"So, Sam. What are your plans? Are you going to start a new business?"

Noah asked him.

Sam was a bit surprised. Noah is the person who likes to talk the least.

"Why do you ask? It is not like you to ask these things?"

"Nothing, you invested in a business with Arkiv, I am looking for investing in one too. If it is your business, I can feel a bit assured."

"I don't know actually. All the expansion plans are stabilized and businesses in all the realms are in a stable state.

We have to see what our gods will throw at us to see where we are going and then decide what I would be doing."

The small talk continued.

Everyone is talking about how their journey felt and then came some serious topic. It is about their past lives.

It turned out all these people are from different realms. And some of the realms are something they already visited.

They all have the basic knowledge of cultivation. But their realms are of the lowest ranks and even if they were considered geniuses they will not have been able to come here.

In fact, they are considered to be stray planets with a transcendent stage cultivator ruling it and dying there.

"What about your families?"

Sam asked them in confusion and all of them became gloomy.

"We cannot remember them. We have retained all the memories we have except for the families. We don't know why that happened. But when I asked Hou Yi about it in the start, he said that families are a distraction for us and if I have to really get together with them, then I have to finish this game properly as he told me."

Arkiv answered in a calm tone.

"So, what is your story?" Noah asked him from the side. He didn't share it in the start and just brushed it off and no one wants to piss him off and ask. In fact, since the start of the dinner, they are all walking on eggshells.

A place in the middle of Sam's organization. It is not a great place to piss him off and they just heard the news about the revenge on Beryl, so they stayed silent. But Noah is the only one asking questions calmly as if she couldn't care less.

But her courage is not because of her own strength. She just trusted in Sam more than the rest as she interacted more with him.

"Well, my life is not as exciting as yours. I was from a place where there is no such thing as cultivation a person's strength has limits. So, the humans resorted to different methods to kill each other and I am one of the merchants who sold death.

A good one if I may add."

He stayed silent after that.

"Do you remember your family?"

"I didn't have any. An orphan. Grew up in the streets for a few years, sold by one asshole to another, learned killing at age eight, killed the first man of my own free will at twelve, killed a hundred by eighteen, and dead by twenty-eight.

I don't know how many people I killed before I died though. Around a hundred thousand at least.

Earned a lot of money and one person who is as close as a family for me died before me and I died all alone in front of a friend of mine."

Everyone stayed silent as the atmosphere turned a little heavy. They could all hear a bit of melancholy from his voice and he is clearly feeling a bit sad about his past.

Even though he didn't go into details, they still felt knew it should be worse than what he made out to be.

While they turned silent their wrist screens all gave an alert. The last day of the decade is over and it is time for their next phase of this game.
