Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer
chapter-480

Days passed and one month later, Arkiv came once again.

Sam doesn't know why he came at this moment, but he still went to talk to him.

"So, are you done with the boxes?" Arkiv asked as they sat for the meal.

"Yeah, it's been a while. My device is ready to go."

"So, when are you planning on going?"

"Why?"

"I am just asking casually. I didn't meet many of the other players, but I did get a chance to meet some of them. They are going to leave at the end of the year. Exactly, one year before the Palace of Inheritance opens.

This is the tacit understanding between all the players. Except for you and the twelfth guy, the rest of us had contact with at least two or more players."

"I also had contact with two players. You and Arman from thunder god temple."

"That's fair I guess."

"But the twelfth person is still unknown. We don't know where he is and if he is coming to the next palace of inheritance or not. He didn't come to the second one and we don't know if he came to the first one."

"He did."

Sam said all of sudden making Arkiv stunned for a second.

"He did?"

"Yes, remember the time when I beat up all of you guys in the first palace of inheritance?"

"Yes."

"That is when I know the existence of the players, he definitely came. I deliberately tore a piece of clothing from the backs and saw the tattoos. Just to confirm how many of us are there. That day, I counted twelve people. So, he is someone who came into contact with the major powers, but he seemed to have deliberately avoided the second one."

"You could have died," Arkiv said casually and Sam looked at him as if he was an idiot. Arkiv also understood that he didn't sound right.

It would be stupid to assume that one of the players died this early, of course, there is a possibility but that is low. Because every player is a soul that was given a second chance, they wouldn't be so stupid to die an early death just after they came into this new world with new opportunities.

The players wouldn't want to die a second time, their desire to survive is too intense compared to a normal person of this world.

After all, death is not a pleasant experience. No one would want to experience the situation twice.

So, he did find Arkiv's words a little bit stupid.

After that, they still proceeded with the small talk and Arkiv asked.

"So, when will you leave?"

"Didn't you just say that there is a tacit understanding between all the players, why would I want to break it? I will also go at the same time."

"Actually, it is more of a fear than the tacit understanding. It is the fear of entering a new world. Unlike you, we don't have a chance of returning back. Even if we can return back, it wouldn't be any time soon.

That is why they are hesitant.

In fact, even I am a bit hesitant."

"Really, sometimes the best way to overcome the hesitation is to do things on a whim. Why don't you try it?"

"Easy for you to say. Anyway, apart from that my intuition is warning me."

"Intuition?" Sam asked with a smile.

"Of course, don't you dare underestimate the intuition of an archer. Whenever I opened the dimensional crosser and think of going the intuition is warning me. I don't know what happens if we go there. I wish I could get some more information."

Sam looked at Arkiv meaningfully; he could guess why he came here. Their relationship is strictly a business one and all this small talk about players is because they can only talk to this stuff between themselves.

Sam doesn't have any relationship with other players, but since he did cross paths with this guy, he could still open up a little about this player stuff.

But other than that, they don't have enough relationship to discuss anything personal. He is just playing along and waiting for him to open up and say why he was truly here.

Now he seemed to be coming to the point.

And just as he thought, Arkiv asked after a bit.

"Sam, can I see those ancient texts?"

Sam looked at him with a raised eyebrow and asked.

"Why don't you take a guess?"

"I mean we are both players, why don't we make an exchange. I do understand that getting those ancient texts might not be an easy feat for you. I wouldn't ask for free. Just name the price, we can negotiate if it is beyond my means."

"It is not about exchange Arkiv. Do you know how I defeated all of you guys in the second palace of inheritance?"

"How?"

"Information. I have more information than any of you guys in that place. I learned about all of you guys and you all couldn't even see me before I decided to show up in front of you.

Not just there, in every situation I managed to gain more information than any of my enemies, even in the destruction of the major associations and the Usaine sect, everything happened because of the information I have in my possession.

So, now tell me. What do you think the value of the information I hold would be?"

Arkiv was speechless for a second. He really just wanted to take a look at the ancient texts Sam mentioned because he is still doubtful about Sam holding the information and wanted to probe a little bit more.

But Sam's words are completely straightforward. In fact, Sam wouldn't have bothered with telling even the initial info Sam gave away earlier.

He doesn't have much of a bad opinion on Arkiv and decided to share some info. But it seems like this guy got a bit greedy.

Arkiv also realized this. Maybe he might have already known of his actions but his desire to be safe, made him forget that.

Sam chuckled and said.

"It is not that I don't want to give you some info, but I couldn't just lose my advantage over others that easily, even if you can keep this thing a secret.

But still, we can be considered business partners as we once worked together, I will give you a heads-up."

With that, Sam took out a breathing device and placed it on the table.

"This might help you a little and make sure you cover your skin as much as you can. Don't get too close to the native humans there. Particularly, the humans who are living well.

They are not trustworthy, try to stay away from the Naga race, they might take you as slaves.

That's all I have to say, in fact, I don't know anything more than that. Oh, by the way, I figured out that all of you might be going to the same planet. So, try and find a way to contact each other on that planet if you guys have any intention of working together."

Arkiv looked at the breathing device. It is one of the devices that resembled the first device Sam made, used for diving.

He kept it with him and said.

"Thank you. I wouldn't leak the info to others. I wanted to ask; do you want to go together?"

"Well, I think I will go with Arman. He is kind of like a subordinate to me. I can't let him go alone. Don't you think?"

"Is there any way to contact you then? We can work together in the Naga Loka."

"Are you sure, you want to work with me? I am not easy to get along with."

"At least, you will be prepared. So, it wouldn't hurt to try and get along with you. I think it would be worth it. So, are you bringing your friends?"

"I don't really want to, but I don't think they will agree that easily. If it was any other realm, I can take them. But this place, I wouldn't do."

Arkiv smiled and stood up, ready to leave.

"Okay then, if you want to work together in the Naga Loka, you can contact me before we leave. If not, we can still cooperate if we meet there. See you."

"Goodbye."

With that, Sam also left the place and decided that it is about time to tell these guys that he is leaving alone.

He conducted a small meeting and patiently explained. Watt did make a ruckus, but he still understood the situation. He can keep them in the divine dimension, but their growth would be halted, unlike the beasts.

So, After convincing them and assigning the tasks of managing the organization, he is finally free. In the remaining days, it is finally free time for him to concentrate on his cultivation and battle techniques.

He should also find the perfect combinations for his elemental abilities so that he can make efficient use of all his tools.
