I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Olivia is a strong observer; once she gives an answer, the future outcome will infinitely approach the answer she provides in a process of collapse.

But Roland was not a weak observer, not only because he was the future god of Alaye, but also because he represented the entire 'Hive'.

There were two people: one was the supreme being in this world, and the other was a god who descended to this world from a higher realm.

They are the highest beings in this world, the supreme observers standing at the same height!
The outcome of the dice roll can collapse based on Olivier's observation. It can also collapse based on Roland's observation.

Thus, the gamble turned into a game of rock-paper-scissors.

Whoever observes the result first is the one who throws the first punch.

Whoever can observe the result is the one who throws the second punch.

Just now, the arrogant goddess didn't pay attention to the rules of the game, so she essentially threw the first punch right in front of Roland, which is why she lost.

But now, God has realized that this is a game of rock-paper-scissors. Therefore, under the mutual supervision and restraint of the two observers, no one will throw first, and no one will throw second.

Therefore, this game has only just begun.

As Roland said at the beginning of the game—this is a game of luck.

That's true, because in this game, no means matter; the two can only gamble on luck.

That's the theoretical point of view.

Olivia drank three glasses of wine, then slowly closed her eyes.

A moment later she opened her eyes and said, "From now on, you won't win anymore."

After saying that, Ovilia won seven games in a row!

Ovilia was confident of victory, but Roland remained remarkably calm.

The current score between Roland and Ovilia is 3-7.

The priests were completely baffled by Olivia's game with Roland.

But Helena, Joan, Theresa, and others gradually began to understand the situation.

They shared a spiritual connection with Roland, and they could more easily grasp what Roland knew, which is why they all understood the rules of the 'rock-paper-scissors' game.

Helena said softly, "I understand. Senior developed himself in the lower world, created a future Roland, and anchored the timeline of this Roland's existence in the future after his baptism and ascension to the throne."

Then, he looked back and saw the results of each dice roll that day.

At this time, Olivia was unaware of this. Therefore, the first round of the match was between Roland, who actually existed in the future, and Olivia, who could foresee the future.

Therefore, since the senior student was positioned in a more distant future than Olivia, he must have seen the outcome later than Olivia. Thus, the outcome observed by Olivia collapsed into the outcome seen by the senior student. Consequently, the senior student achieved a surprising victory over Olivia.

Helena offered her answer from a different perspective, which, while not entirely accurate, was still understandable to Joan and the others.

Joan asked, "So what about now? Why did Olivia win this round again?"

Helena wrinkled her cute nose, thought for a moment, and then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Because Olivia lived longer than Senior Roland!"

Joan: “???”

Helena continued, "Idiot! I just said that the senior won because he was further back in time, right?"
Olivia is a goddess; she must have lived longer than any of us!

Therefore, she could stand further, and therefore she won!

Joan panicked. She said, "What do we do? Are we going to be used as a stake, and Roland loses to Olivia?"

“Get ready to be a man, Joan,” Helena said, shrugging. This brat knew Olivia mistook her for Heracles and wouldn't dare mess with her too much, so she wasn't worried at all about what would happen if her senior lost the bet.

But Joan was different. She angrily said, "If Roland loses, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Helena's expression stiffened slightly, and she said softly, "What does this have to do with me?"

"You two, stop arguing."

Theresa frowned and interrupted their bickering. She looked at the gambling table and said, "She's only got a smattering of knowledge and she's already spouting nonsense about Joan. Ignore this brat."

Joan breathed a sigh of relief and glared fiercely at Helena, who stuck out her tongue and dared not say anything more.

Both of them knew that while Lady Theresa was ostensibly Roland's head maid, she was actually both Roland and Olivia's attending physician and guardian. This persona wielded such authority that even Catherine, the eldest sister, treated her with great respect.

Not to mention that everyone now has to rely on this doctor.

Furthermore, she had followed Roland for so many years that she was his right-hand chief disciple. Therefore, this genuine Alaya sorceress was also a highly authoritative figure in 'Alaya mysticism'.

She was not only the sorceress of Alaye, but also the archangel of Heracles. Therefore, apart from Roland and Olivia, no one here was closer to truth and divinity than her.

At this point, Helena and Joan also noticed that after Olivia won seven games, she didn't continue her winning streak. The two then traded wins and losses, making for a very close match. However, Roland's winning percentage seemed to be slightly higher.

He is slowly catching up.

Now Joan and Helena were completely baffled. Helena asked in a low voice, "Sister Theresa, what exactly is going on?"

Theresa said, "They're gambling on luck."

"fortune?"

Helena and Joan suddenly remembered a quote from Roland—"Let's take a gamble."

They vaguely grasped something, but they didn't quite understand it.

Seeing the two of them frowning and looking completely bewildered, Teresa added, "They're not just gambling; this is a gamble between the mortal realm and the divine realm."

A thunderbolt flashed through Helena and Joan's minds, and they finally understood what Teresa was trying to say.

As Roland just said, what stands before God is not an insect, but a swarm of bees—he represents this world.

Roland was the de facto leader of the Old Church and wizards, and the King of Alaye in the eyes of the Kingdom of God and Protestants. Therefore, he was indeed a representative of humanity.

The same is true of Olivia—she is the representative of heaven, and the spokesperson of heaven sent to earth by the supreme sun god.

Now, the two have placed the future of their respective factions on the gambling table. And the faction that survives longer will become the final observer!
The result of the dice roll will collapse in the direction of what the last observer observes.

Whoever is the last observer speaks the truth.

Whoever is the last observer is God!
The old God will be replaced by the new God, and the truth of the old God will be overturned by the new God.

Or, to put it another way, whichever God lives longer will become the truth.

The two men were betting on the future, but not on their own personal fortunes; they were betting on the direction of the world. They were betting on which God would live longer, and which God would become the ultimate truth.

In a sense, Roland won when he broke Olivia's seven-game winning streak. Because regardless of whether the Alayer wizards win or lose in the future, they have already sat down at a gambling table with the true God, beginning a game of wins and losses. This means they will inevitably become another God!
Moreover, Roland is slowly catching up – it's only a matter of time before the Alayer wizards can defeat God!
After Teresa explained the situation, the priests who had been eavesdropping around could no longer laugh.

Their theological beliefs are slowly crumbling with this simple gamble. Because whether Teresa's words are true or false, their 'Olivia' is sitting at the gambling table with an insect and slowly losing the game.

Everything was telling them that God was not omniscient and omnipotent, and that man could overcome God.

Many people selectively ignore Theresa's statement about a "gamble between two worlds," and instead use a fallacy of equivocation—that "God descended to earth as a mortal and relinquished divine authority, which is why He and the King of Alaye were evenly matched"—to explain everything in the present situation.

But a seed of doubt had already been silently planted in everyone's hearts.

Watching Lord Roland slowly catch up in the battle, and seeing the priests around her gradually falling into confusion and fear, Teresa sighed in her heart: 'When gods are no longer high above and have to descend to the mortal world, when their mysterious veil is peeled away layer by layer by wizards, they are no longer so majestic.'

Sending people from heaven is a huge mistake, because it will cause faith to begin to crumble.

But God had to descend from heaven. Just as the 'master' had dragged the 'Lord' into the game, the wizards had already pulled God down from his altar.

Theresa felt that if they could ignore one particularly important thing, then regardless of whether their master won or lost the bet, they had all won—because the moment God made the bet with the insect and lost a round, His idol collapsed.

But the key point is that the important thing cannot be ignored—the real task today is to help Master Roland trick the Lord into drinking the medicine so that the Lord can return to normal.

But their stockpile of the antidote is running low!
As Roland's chief secretary, Teresa was very familiar with her boss's inventory situation.

So she knew very well that the boss's antidote stock had run out a few minutes ago!
Therefore, the most perfect ending today would be for Roland and Olivia to have their antidote reserves completely depleted, and then for the two of them to lie dead together in bed tonight.

As Roland said, his inventory must be more than Ovilia's, after all, who would use Nightmare Hourglass, a super anesthetic, as a bottle of alcohol?

Therefore, Olivia didn't have many antidotes—to be precise, she only had one bottle of antidote.

But the key point is that Ovilia's drug resistance is off the charts!
Therefore, her one bottle of antidote is equivalent to all of Roland's entire inventory!

Roland knew perfectly well that he absolutely could not fall asleep tonight while Olivia was awake—who knew what that madman was planning to do?

It's possible that while he was unconscious, Olivia gave him a bunch of strange mental 'healing' drugs, turning him into a madman or a god of madness.

Of course, it's also possible that when you wake up tomorrow morning, you'll find yourself transformed into a woman named 'Olérie'.

In any case, Roland has to take down Ovilia today.

At this point, Roland had caught up with Ovilia in terms of score, and the two were now tied.

And there's only one bottle left out of the hundred bottles.

In other words, the two players still have one more game to decide the winner.

With one more round to go, Helena and Joan's expressions betrayed their confidence, as if victory was already assured.

The priests' faces were extremely solemn, as if they had already lost.

—It turns out that Helena and Joan were on the same wavelength as Roland, so they had a strong intuition that Roland now had the upper hand.

He now firmly holds the position of 'Final Observer,' while Olivia is still figuring things out and unable to take it over in the short term.

In other words, Roland is guaranteed to win the next game!

Therefore, the two women knew that Roland was bound to win, and their excitement was palpable.

The priests didn't understand the current situation, but they also felt that they were doomed to lose, because the Lord's face was now extremely grim—Olivia had realized that she might lose.

Just now, Olivia observed the result of the dice roll—36.

She was absolutely certain that the sum of the 12 dice in their hands was 36, but she saw no trace of the other observer's observation.

In other words, she was the first observer—Roland was the final observer.

This means that the figures Roland reports will be the final result.

This also means that even if Olivia cheated and chose to announce the number after Roland, in Roland's eyes, Olivia was the first person to announce the number!
Therefore, Olivia cannot give the same number as Roland!

Therefore, a war between observers can never end in a draw!
Therefore, everything was predetermined before Olivia even observed the number 36—she was destined to lose.

Roland was destined to win.

Holding the upside-down wooden cup in his hand, Olivia's expression changed repeatedly.

Just then, Roland announced a number: "36".

Upon hearing this number, Olivia was slightly taken aback. She looked at Roland in surprise, then at the crowd of people staring at her nervously, and suddenly realized something.

That is, in everyone's eyes, they haven't even announced the numbers yet.

Suddenly, Olivia realized the problem.

Roland was indeed the ultimate observer, and no matter what tricks Olivia played, he could always deliver the numbers after Olivia.

However, Roland chose to state the numbers first, and he chose to state the result observed by the initial observer—he verified the result observed by the initial observer as the final observer.

Thus, all the results remained constant at the number observed by both observers—36.

At this point, Ovilia faced two choices.

One option is to call 36, choosing a draw.

Another option is not to say 36—the answer is already fixed at 36, and if she says a number other than 36, she loses.

Looking at the man in front of him who was just as nervous as he was, Olivia suddenly understood why he had wanted the game to end in a draw.

That despicable guy has run out of antidote.

So he wanted to draw the game and then drink another hundred bottles with himself.

As Olivia knew, she now faced two choices.

One option was to announce the number 36, allowing Roland to succeed, ending in a draw and then drinking another hundred bottles—both of them would be sleeping soundly tonight, rather than Roland falling into a coma while the other remained awake.

One was that she gave out a wrong number and Roland spanked her.

As an incomparably proud and extremely self-respecting goddess, the answer to this question should be obvious to Goddess Olivia.

However, she became deeply conflicted.

"cough."

Roland, sweating profusely, reminded her, "Your Highness, if you lose, the spanking will involve taking your clothes off."

"Shut up!" (End of Chapter)
