Chapter 392 Planetary Chess

”I don’t have Origin coins. Can I bet with Dimensional coins instead?” Maximus asked with a little embarrassment.

“Huh?” Suddenly, the crowd paused in puzzlement.

“Dimensional coins? Are you kidding me?” Ysgramor exclaimed in disbelief.

“Ahem, my friend here just passed through the entrance assessment of Nexus Casino,” Otto quickly explained.

Soon, Ysgramor noticed that Maximus didn’t possess any pressure comparable to a Tier 11 powerhouse.

It could only mean he was an outlier who had the luck to acquire a Tier 12 treasure by chance.

Frowning, he said, “I don’t need Dimensional coins. What would I need them for?”

Dimensional coins are a limited currency.

Even some rare Tier 9 treasures couldn’t be bought with them.

As a Tier 11 powerhouse, Dimensional coins had long lost their value to Ysgramor.

He had no relatives who could use such low currency at all.

“This…” Maximus was also a little helpless.

Without a starting point, he couldn’t accumulate money.

“How about I let you borrow some money?” Otto said with a smile.

“You?” Maximus frowned, thinking Otto had some consOriginal in mind.

“I’m just interested in your potential, and it’s just some pocket money,” Otto said nonchalantly.

Origin coins were no different from Dimensional coins, he could spend it however he wanted.

After thinking for a while, Maximus agreed to borrow some Origin coins from Otto.

Since he was confident of winning, he had no problem borrowing money.

“Here.” Otto handed over a million Origin coins as if it were nothing.

Getting the money, Maximus turned his attention to Ysgramor.

“Shall we begin?”

“Tsk, rich kid,” Ysgramor silently muttered, accepting Maximus’s bet under the notary of the Virtual Realm.

Under the notary of the Virtual Realm, no one dared to act dishonestly.

Although there was no physical harm, one could no longer log into the virtual world if one disobeyed the contract.

Changing one’s identity wouldn’t work.

Unless one could completely change their personality, ‘origin,’ and everything about themselves, it was impossible to bypass the Virtual Realm’s security.

Unknown to most individuals in the alliance, the Virtual Realm is an alternate world comparable to their plane of existence.

It is infinitely expanding, boundless, with a complete set of rules, etc.

Most individuals could only work their way out because the virtual world allowed it.

Otherwise, even the most powerful Origin Grade physique, Ultimate Tier 12 treasure, or a full-fledged Tier 12 being wouldn’t stand a chance.

Rumor has it that when the Abyss dared to invade the Virtual Realm, the creator of the virtual world directly suppressed it.

If not for the Abyss Will having some strength, it might have been locked up in this virtual world as a game.

After setting everything in place, Maximus and Ysgramor took their positions.

In front of them was a projection of a barren world.

It’s a dumpsite where all the trash in their place of existence is gathered.

The virtual world just casually caught an abandoned planet, for them to play.

Throwing hundreds of Origin coins, the world began to rotate at an extremely fast speed, from changes in weather to the division of terrain.

Soon, after what seemed like billions of years, small organisms began to appear, followed by vegetation.

Watching the projection before him, Maximus couldn’t help but be amazed.

Seeing the unique rules begin to emerge, banning the appearance of extraordinariness, Maximus could only sigh.

He didn’t expect they would use a real world to play planetary chess.

It’s really ruthless.

Seeing it only took a few hundred Origin coins to make, Maximus could only say the weak is really insignificant.

Even if they destroyed this world that was just born, it’s hard to feel guilt.

Casually throwing a few Origin coins they could create a more magnificent masterpiece.

Soon, after a few minutes, the civilization of the planet reached the modern times.

The population then began to delve into space, only to face setbacks one after another.

Not finding hope for a bigger place, the planet fell into internal war.

Different countries and organizations fell into a brewing conflict.

“The board is set. I’ll let you pick out your chess pieces first,” Ysgramor said with a confident smile.

“Sure.”

Each player could choose 16 chess pieces: eight random civilian pawns, two generals, two businessman, two scientists, an ace, and a sovereign of a state.

To conquer the planet, the sovereign of the state is an important piece; once they are assassinated or killed, the game is over.

A sovereign is needed to conquer the planet, and without it, the opposing opponent can easily manipulate the game.

The second important piece is the ace.

In each artificial planet created for planetary chess, the player can set two protagonists.

With their blessing, the protagonist will become the most powerful and talented person on the planet.

Unlike the Sovereign, the game could still continue even if the ace died.

However, without this nuclear threat, the opposing enemy can just brute force their way through the game.

This is also how the previous player lost to Ysgramor.

The ace he chose was a person who had a strong attachment to his mother.

With a little trick from Ysgramor, the ace easily fell into a trap, causing the game to end quickly.

As for the remaining chess pieces, they were the eyes and hands of the sovereign to complete his conquest.

Looking over the planet, Maximus carefully looked for his sovereign piece.

Soon his eyes settled on a man who had just created a ragtag coalition of forces because of the war.

Tired of always running for his life and seeing the deaths of his friends and relatives one by one, this man founded a country.

Although it didn’t even have a hundred thousand people, their unity was unmatched by other countries.

This would work wonders in the late game, which is just his taste.

Next was the ace.

Not wanting to fall into the same fate as the previous player, he chose a clone who had just regained its own consciousness.

Right now, it was being chased by a bunch of crazy scientists and soldiers.

As Maximus chose the clone, the world seemed to bless it, giving it strength and luck.

Soon, through all kinds of coincidences, it escaped the crazy pursuit.

For the remaining chess pieces, Maximus didn’t have any specific requirements and just chose the most talented and smartest individuals he found during the deduction of his independent consciousness.

With his induction, as if guided by fate, the chess pieces he chose began to gather around the sovereign.

“It’s your turn,” Maximus said.

“Hmm, interesting choice,” Ysgramor muttered, looking at the pieces Maximus chose.

Although at the initial stage of the game, everything is in an equal state, this could only be seen in the grander scheme of the game. Saʀch* Th NovelFull.net website on Ggl to access chapters of nvels early and in the highest quality.

“Just this,”Ysgramor chose a sovereign piece of the richest and most powerful country in the world.

Unfortunately, to neutralize the game, the said country was full of holes.

From corrupt officials to spies, the government was like an old machine that couldn’t move.

Its people were also rebelling left and right.

Due to being too pampered, they protested the cruelty of the country despite enjoying its fruits of victory.

Such a country would collapse on its own sooner or later.

Fortunately, Ysgramor chose it as his envoy’s chess piece to conquer the world.

Ysgramor didn’t care if it was rotten to the core; its power and wealth were enough.

He didn’t take this game seriously and just wanted to end it sooner.

For the remaining chess pieces, Ysgramor used Destiny’s Compass and chose all individuals who rose to prominence in the future.

“Shall we begin?” Ysgramor invited gentlemanly.

With the agreement of both parties, the planet began to spin rapidly.

The first commands from Maximus and Ysgramor were executed as their chess pieces began to move.

Soon, the world was shrouded in fog as time advanced a year in the blink of an eye.

As it returned to its normal cycle, Maximus quickly deduced the current state of the world.

“A little less…”

Looking at the current situation of Altruz, the country he chose, Maximus frowned a little.

His first order was to unite all the oppressed countries to gain more manpower.

Unfortunately, Lynsphere, the country Ysgramor chose, used its massive wealth and power to isolate Altruz from the rest of the world.

Lysphere claimed the Country of Altruz was just an opportunistic terrorist using people’s pain to establish its sovereignty.

Fortunately, due to Lynsphere’s lack of credibility from starting wars and stealing everywhere, this strategy didn’t have much effect.

Altruz continued to spread its dogma, helping people everywhere and establishing its toughness and spirit.

Thus, even with Lynsphere’s interference, Altruz managed to multiply its population to nearly a million, with a few allied countries.

“It’s safe for a while…”

Due to Lynsphere’s corruption, it couldn’t quickly form an army to attack Altruz.

Maximus estimated that after three to four turns, Lynsphere would be unified, gathering its strongest firepower to attack him.

Maximus needed to be smart in these few rounds and quickly form a fighting power.

As his independent consciousness deduced billions of epochs, choosing the best path and strategy, a smile formed on his lips.

“I can end this game in seven moves,” Maximus thought, giving his next instructions.
