DICE [68]
Gala quickly checked the report provided by the stealth drone. All the recorded findings in the depths of the chasm were extremely strange. It seemed that after the edge, there was a sturdy staircase descending, ready to be walked on. Moreover, there were wall ornaments that made Gala furrow his brow. Writings that he had never seen before."Check," Gala ordered swiftly, with Dice beside him working rapidly. Dice herself was puzzled because she had never seen this place before. The origins of all those carvings were being searched. This die must come from thousands of years ago, surely holding ancient manuscripts and knowing the meanings of the carvings. With precision, Dice began searching one by one until..."Oh my God," she whispered softly."Dice?"Dice didn't respond. She chose to quickly open the old files about the numerous violations Kyler Lamont committed in West Metro. All the records about the violations were kept in a special file that Xavier maintained separately. If they

Dice has entered the dice. She shouldn't do anything until she fully recovers. Gala is quite curious about what happened to her. He has never seen Dice like that before. Her eyes also look scared, and Gala suspects one thing. There's something significant hidden by Dice, or... something very secretive.He knows everything about Dice, and it seems that when Cathleen or Dice speaks, there are no lies there. This means that for today, something must have happened beyond Dice's reach. And Gala thinks Seth Rafael knows that clearly. It shows from his uneasy face. But there is something far more important than just Seth's story this time.The two-on-one battle, where it turns out the snake is not just any snake. He can't let Alex and Maverick, who seem to be in trouble, be left alone. The large snake turns out to be more than just a snake. It is quite heavily armed on several sides, making Maverick and Alex look very frustrated. And it seems that the dice protection for both of them was sev

The snake stops moving, Gala can feel it. Then its wide mouth, with sharp and terrifying fangs, opens. Making Gala shudder a bit in horror. The droplets of saliva dripping from the sides of those fangs create enough sound for Gala to exit immediately. It seems that the snake is indeed asking Gala to come out without words.He examines his body once again, luckily not too much slime from the snake. Very strange. Inside the snake, he felt like he was swallowed alive in the slippery, wet, foul-smelling, and strange body of the snake. But Gala also doesn't forget how the battle between Alex and Maverick unfolded. The large snake still watches him, releasing a lot of weapons to protect itself.Not yet over his surprise, Gala is stunned by what greets his sight. A large room with lots of equipment he doesn't know. Bottles of various colors that look like they're heated from beneath the surface. Also, many large tubes containing... Gala has to confirm his view, afraid he's seeing it wrong. A

Gala never wanted to move from his position. The door swung wide open, and Kyler couldn't close it or the sword Gala had been holding since earlier would cut down whatever he desired. The dice glowed dimly, making Gala appear much more menacing than when illuminated by bright lights because, precisely in the corridor of the room they both entered, the light was very dim. His eyes never shifted anywhere except to every movement Kyler made, whatever he was doing to his father's body. Even to blink, Gala still had to think because he was afraid Kyler would deny what he said.As if his mother understood all the behavior Gala showed this time, she chose not to nod. She sat, guarded by Theo and Jiro, where they held their long-barreled weapons tightly. She sat in another corner, but the blue-haired woman's eyes never let go of her son. Seth, Maverick, and Alex also sat not far from where he stood. They were all on high alert because, truly, the atmosphere here was very tense.Exacerbated by

At the large table in the quite spacious room, each Metro ruler deployed many strategies to fend off the imminent attack that Gideon would launch soon. Gala's glasses served as a scanning eye that keenly identified Gideon's troop deployment points. It seems the old man is not kidding about bringing down his troops to attack West Metro. Perhaps only armed with the weak signal he captured because Gala used his chest when fighting the giant snake, they headed towards the city center.Ridiculous."Gideon the Great's air force has yet to be defeated by anyone. Yesterday, I was lucky enough to lock onto the target first," Maverick says after pushing a few boxes as a sign that his troops are ready to intercept at sea. "If now, I think he's not playing around anymore."Gala nodded slowly, where the other rulers also agreed with what Maverick said. "Gideon must be on his aircraft carrier. He can't possibly ride a jet to confront me alone." Gala slightly moved Alex's troops, which would be depl

"Dice," Gala calls softly. In a separate room from where his parents rest, Gala wants to ask Dice some questions. He needs to talk to the holographic girl he hasn't been able to reach for some time. Gala had his own curiosity, but he understood that something might have happened to Dice in this place. However, he couldn't ask too much because Kyler ended their conversation with a group of servants entering from another direction. It happened while they were talking in his dimly lit office."Yeah, sir," Dice reappears. This time, her orange aura is as vibrant as her die and her master's eyes."Are you... okay?"Dice just displays her awkward smile. "Much better now.""Did you hear all our conversations?"The girl nods."Do you want to meet Xavier?""No, sir. I think he needs total rest."Gala nods slowly. "Tighten security for him. Especially for my mother.""Sure, sir.""And be prepared for the worst-case scenario, Dice." Gala says as he confidently approaches the holographic girl sta

The large snake becomes Gala's mount this time. Dice is never far from Gala, busy controlling many things as their battle preparation. The reins are never intended to be released from the snake, which should obey Kyler, but it seems the owner has changed. Kyler doesn't mind, but it's a bit challenging to provide an antidote to Maverick shortly after they all gather in one room. If it weren't for Gala asking, he wouldn't give it. Not because of personal revenge, but sometimes making one of the metro rulers powerless due to the poison he created has its own satisfaction. Especially when he sees the pain on the face of the Southern Metro ruler.However, whether it's the influence of the die that keeps spinning around Gala, or the eyes that are the same color as the sunset but with a clear firmness, Kyler doesn't offer much objection. He immediately gives the antidote, and its effect doesn't take long. For years, Kyler has perfected many discoveries in the field of medicine, both traditio

Everyone headed to their respective positions, where Gala would intercept and face Gideon directly, but he didn't appear immediately. He had to separate Gideon from his many troops. Their forces were troublesome enough, and the deployed troops were no ordinary troops. So Gala chose to turn the Evermoon Desert into his major battlefield.Far from the city center, and even farther from Kyler's hidden headquarters. The glasses Gala wore displayed the entire battlefield at several points. Also, the number of enemy forces, the movements of each ruler – Gala couldn't fathom why they all worked together. He didn't expect everything to feel like a game, considering the gravity of what they were facing.Maybe they had their own interests. Apart from that, Gala had to ensure that their assistance wouldn't be in vain. Especially the special protection for all of them. To some extent, Gala was very worried about how this battle would unfold. Even though all his advanced weapons were out, fortifyi
