"How much do you know about what happened in this world in the past?"
Ivia didn't ask the birdman this question because during the examination, Ivia confirmed that the birdman was of average age and didn't know much more than she perceived.
"I'm not a native of this world. I fell into this world by accident. I don't know what happened."
The clown answered honestly. After direct contact, he could clearly feel the vitality in Ivia that was more powerful than the whole world.
The gap is so huge that the Joker has no more ideas.
"There are other outsiders in the amusement park. They may know more! I'll show you the way!"
The clown was afraid that the god would say that he was of no use, so he quickly stood up and led the way.
The Ferris wheel in the amusement park was turning slowly, and it was full of people. These people had brand new clothes, but their bodies had turned into skeletons. It looked both weird and scary. Similar scenes could be seen on the carousel and the pirate ship.
The neon lights were bright, but the amusement park was silent except for the sound of the equipment running.
"There is a strange being here, who arrived not long ago."
The clown pointed at the stone house that was out of tune with the environment of the playground. The exterior of the stone house was covered with burn marks, as if it had almost melted by something.
Avia recognized this stone house; she had seen it before in a deserted sanctuary called Chiliad, on another world polluted by the sun.
The oddity here is the Dudugugu, a friendly tradable unit.
"She probably doesn't know anything either. Next one."
Ivia didn't rush into the stone house to say hello to Dudugugu, but prioritized investigating this world.
The clown obediently took Ivia and continued to move forward. In the arcade deep in the amusement park, some other ghost staff members appeared one after another.
However, when these ghosts saw Ivia, they all trembled and huddled together.
The clown's feelings were shared by the entire playground.
The clown continued to lead the way. In the innermost room of the arcade, behind an old small wooden door, a room made of skeletons came into Ivia's sight.
The area of this room is about 50 square meters. The walls are made of piled-up leg bones, and the ceiling is made of arm bones. At a glance, it is full of densely packed skeleton hands, and the ground is neatly stacked with skulls, all with the crowns facing upwards.
A gambling table was placed in the center of the room. The dealer behind the table was a skeleton wearing an exquisite suit. When he saw Ivia, he took off his hat and placed it on his chest, saluting elegantly.
The clown's teeth couldn't help but chatter. This skeleton was a powerful existence that even this world couldn't restrain. The clown originally wanted to divert the trouble away and let the two monsters meet.
Judging from the attitude of the skeleton, the thing behind him was a terrifying existence even more terrifying than he had imagined.
"Skeleton Gambler, I pay my highest respects to the great Sun King! Swarm Exterminator! God of Healing! Lord of War! Bearer of the World!"
The Skeleton Gambler chanted Ivia's title in a hymn-like tone, bowed deeply, and waited for Ivia's reaction.
"Just call me Avia."
Chapter 447 Cause and Effect
"Take Clara to the playground to play for a while."
Ivia sat down at the table. The Skeleton Gambler was very knowledgeable and should know something about this world.
Although Ivia hasn't seen many people yet, judging from the tragic end of this desolate world, the history of this world must not be a good story.
Ivia didn't really want Clara to hear it.
Clara happily and obediently left. Morey and the Moon Apostle thought that Ivia was chasing them away, so they sensibly left with Clara.
"How much do you know about the history of this world?"
Aiweiya asked directly.
The Skeleton Gambler didn't sit down. Instead, he chuckled with some unknown organ, then spoke with some anticipation:
"Before I answer you, would you like to play a bet with me?"
This is the nature of the Skeleton Gambler. His existence naturally shows the gap between him and Avia, but the more so, the stronger his desire to gamble becomes.
Ivia shook her head. She could see the power of the Skeleton Gambler, but the little toy Skeleton Gambler looked down on it. The power and authority belonging to Ivia was something the Skeleton Gambler could not bear even if he won.
This gamble makes no sense.
"My bet is this!" The skeleton gambler did not give up, but took out a small lid with a dull black light.
Ivia grinned. This thing was the lid of the Abyss Jar. No wonder Ivia always felt that the Abyss Jar was incomplete.
This thing is actually in the hands of this gambler.
Ivia smiled and took the lid directly. The lid itself was a little reluctant, but after Ivia fed it a handful of pure abyss power, the lid became extremely obedient.
Ivia thought that the skeleton gambler who had gotten rid of the lid would speak, but she didn't expect him to shake with excitement, and his skeleton trembled and made a dense sound.
"I'm putting all my soul at stake. Let's play the biggest game ever!"
[The contractor has activated the fatal gamble]
Bet: The total soul inventory of the Skeleton Gambler is: 1695234 years; all assets of the Skeleton Gambler.
Contractor's Bet: Undetermined (needs to pay an equal price before starting the bet).
Betting format: Undetermined.
……
Originally, the Skeleton Gambler was just itching to play, but after seeing Ivia's powerful performance, he couldn't control the desire to give up everything and put himself at the gambling table.
The Skeleton Gambler certainly knew that even if he won the bet, he could not afford Ivia's bet.
But this urge to defeat a powerful being has long been deeply rooted in every bone of his body.
Now with the notarization of the Void Tree, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is right before his eyes, and he cannot give it up.
This is the Skeleton Gambler.
"Alright, but there's no need for such tricks in the bet. I'm here to clean up solar pollution and heal the world. I won't be competing."
"Let's make a bet on who will ultimately own this world. You place your bet first."
Those who seek death may die.
Ivia doesn't mind giving the Skeleton Gambler a chance to play.
The Skeleton Gambler looked surprised and opened his hands. The cards in his hands turned into skeletons, reflecting the faces of every contestant and the strong man in this world.
It even includes half of the face of the world's most famous painter.
The skull card swayed and spun, finally stopping on a hunched figure wearing tattered armor with its face uncovered.
"I'm placing my bet on the Great Knight."
[The content of the bet has been determined. The content is to select the final owner of the world.]
[The Skeleton Gambler has placed a bet on the Great Knight.]
[Contractors' equal stakes are being stripped away...]
[Stripping complete. Contractor's bet: 1.7 seconds of life.]
[Warning! After placing the bet, the contractor will lose 1.7 seconds of life (this bet will be deducted at the end of the contractor's life, and the contractor's remaining life is: ???).]
【Contractors can select the betting unit. 】
Along with the notification of the Void Tree came the shaking cards in the hands of the Skeleton Gambler.
Aivia did not hesitate and chose Su Xiao, who also had a bloody face on the card.
[The contractor has selected the unit: Shadow of Destruction, White Night.]
[The gambling game has officially begun, and both parties have locked in their bets...]
[Because the scroll fragments are unique to this world and cannot be removed, they have been removed from the Skeleton Gambler's assets.]
[The contractor obtains 9 scroll fragments.]
【Locked.】
……
The Skeleton Gambler smiled with satisfaction and began to tell about what he knew about the world.
The Skeleton Gambler has not been in this world for long, but his status is extremely high. Just by staying here, he has obtained a lot of information.
There are five painting worlds centered around the main painting world, but the capital city where the Great Knight is born has been abandoned.
Originally, this world was a complete world of paintings.
The royal family that rules this world is said to have a certain relationship with the Sun God clan.
What plunged the world into crisis was the sudden outbreak of disease at the end of the dynasty.
This strange disease can drive people crazy and turn them into wild beasts. The stronger the person, the more terrifying the beast they turn into.
This disease is therefore called lycanthropy.
"If your sanity drops to zero, you'll transform into a beast, right?"
Ivia interrupted and asked.
"Yes, you may be too powerful to notice, but madness is everywhere in the world of painting."
The Skeleton Gambler replied that he was not a living being and was immune to beast transformation, but he could feel the madness.
In response to this madness, three forces responded.
The first force was naturally the orthodox dynasty. They tried every possible way to treat patients with beast disease, but failed to achieve any results.
They had to abandon these patients and isolate those with beastiality, which was the beginning of the division of the world of painting.
Another force, called the Jiwang Palace, found the previous world painter and tried to use the world ink to make the painter redraw the world without madness.
The Skeleton Gambler had no idea what exactly happened.
He only knew that the Trace Kings had attracted another kind of power called the deep sea. This power not only failed to cure the beast disease, but instead caused the beast disease to merge with the power of the deep sea, bringing endless nightmares.
Now in this so-called nightmare painting world, all these weird things are attracted by nightmares.
However, the Skeleton Gambler said that the place where nightmares are most concentrated is in the world of another painting.
The dominant force there, which is also the third force dealing with the beast disease, is the Cult of the Sun God.
The Sun God Cult was much simpler and more brutal in dealing with the beast disease. The sick patients were simply beheaded. Even if some members of the Sun God Cult fell into madness, they would still be punished.
