Versatile Mage: Summoning Black Dragon, the pinnacle of divine power

Chapter 260 The Dark King's Game
……

"Why are you running?"

A short while later, Caesar brought the skeleton back.

"I've never hit you, why are you avoiding me?" Caesar said speechlessly.

Hai La squatted on the ground with a contented expression, without saying a word.

Yes, it never fought back, but that female angel slapped it across the face, almost killing it on the spot!
"Where's your boss?" Caesar asked.

There are many emperors in the Dark Dimension, but the humans in the Magic Dimension collectively refer to them as Dark Kings. However, there is only one true Dark King, who is currently Wen Tai.

The previous Dark King disappeared long ago for unknown reasons. Wen Tai discovered this and thus decided to enter the Dark Dimension. He used the mourning of countless living people in the Magic Dimension, along with the evil faith power caused by the dark death unleashed by Salang's madness, to seize the long-vacant position of Dark King.

The current owner of the skeleton is Wen Tai.

Hai La shook his head.

How could it possibly know where the Dark King is? It's just a gatekeeper.

"You...know it?" Sariel's expression was somewhat unnatural.

“Gyro is the Greek god of death. Do you think I wouldn’t recognize him?” Caesar said.

Greece can be considered the birthplace of dark magic. The reason why the Grim Reaper is called the Greek god of death is because the Greeks were the first to come into contact with the dark dimension. As the gatekeeper of the dark dimension, the Grim Reaper was naturally called the god of death by the Greeks. After the spread of dark magic, people habitually referred to the Grim Reaper as the Greek god of death.

“I mean I know him, not that I know him,” Sariel said.

The Greeks all knew Hella, but Caesar seemed to know Hella.

“Oh, yes, I know it. I’ve known it since I was a child,” Caesar said.

"Have you forgotten about punishing Wen Tai's Dark Judgment? I was watching from outside at the time."

Regarding the Dark Judgment that Durank and his group launched against Ye Xinxia last time, he had actually contacted Hai La beforehand to discuss it with him in case anything went wrong.

"Do you know the way?" Caesar asked.

"What road?" Hai La asked, puzzled.

“The road to the underworld,” Caesar said.

“I know him, but you can’t get past him,” Hai La said.

“You just lead the way,” Caesar said.

"I dare not," Hai La refused.

"You'll get beaten to death."

Caesar was speechless. "Your boss is also the Dark King, why are you afraid of another Dark King?"

"I'm scared." Hai La replied honestly.

“Don’t make things difficult for it. This is the Dark King’s territory. Not to mention it, even Austin can’t defy the rules here,” Asha’s said.

"If it says you can't get through, then it can't lead the way either. The rules here were set by the Dark King."

"Let me out, and I'll show you the way."

“No, once you’re out, you can’t go back,” Caesar said.

The spacetime rules here are also suppressed by the Dark King. He tried to put Sariel in as well, but he couldn't open the spatial passage at all.

If we release Asha'riya as well, it will be even more awkward when the fight breaks out later.

In the magical plane, he could forcibly tear open the plane and go to other places, but this hellish place, the dark plane, was like a huge black fog. The plane walls were torn open one layer after another, and there was no direction at all.

Moreover, this is only the uppermost level of the Dark Dimension, the area near the exit. If you rashly force your way through the dimension and accidentally fall deeper, you really won't be able to get out.

“Then you should go ahead,” Asha'ruya said.

"All life that enters the Dark Dimension will fall into the Dark Lord's game board. You have not yet entered the formal stage of the game."

"A chessboard?" Caesar frowned slightly, and his divine power of the Void Realm spread outwards.

"Don't waste your energy. There's only one direction here. No matter how you search or change directions, you only have one path," Asha'ruya said.

"Alright." Caesar didn't waste any energy and leaped onto the skeleton's shoulder.

"Haila, lead the way."

"I'd like to see if that brat dares to play chess against me."

The power of magic and the divine power of the myriad realms were greatly reduced here, but his colorless divine power was not affected in the slightest.

The rules here cannot suppress his power.

……

After traversing the land of sand and bones and passing through the dark forest, a flat, even somewhat smooth, plain appeared before them. "Is this the Dark King's chessboard?" Caesar asked.

"That should be it," Asha'ruya said nervously.

"You really dare to use me as a pawn?" Caesar raised his head and looked into the depths of darkness.

"What do you think would happen if I called them over right now?"

“You…” Asha’s expression was somewhat unnatural.

"Can he come over?"

“Of course,” Caesar said.

"But I'll feel really embarrassed afterwards, and I'll be reluctant to shout."

"Forget it, let's fight first, and if we can't win, then we can call for help."

Caesar jumped to the ground and continued moving toward the chessboard, with Sariel following reluctantly behind, his face contorted in a grimace.

Of course, the one who suffered the most was Hai La.

It is now forced to participate in the Dark King's game!
"Who is this 'him' you're talking about?" Shaka couldn't help but ask.

"The Queen of the Nine Netherworlds?" Heidi guessed.

“No, it’s his elderly father,” Asha’ruya said.

"Father?" Heidi was taken aback.

"The one in Asuka City?"

"You've seen it before?" Asha'ruya asked in confusion.

“We spent some time there recently and met that guy. He looks a lot like Caesar,” Heidi said.

"I asked Liu Ru at the time, and she told me."

"But this is the Dark Dimension, can he handle it?"

"Solve it?" Asha's expression was strange.

"There is still some risk involved."

Shaka looked puzzled, "Then how could he..."

“The risk I’m referring to is that the Dark Dimension might be destroyed,” Asha’s said.

"The Dark Dimension is too close to our Magic Dimension, and there are even many overlapping areas. The destruction of this world will very likely affect our world as well."

"..."

"Huh?" Heidi looked completely bewildered.

"Destroy the Dark Dimension?"

"Are you serious?"

“I wish this was just a joke,” Asharuya sighed.

Xin Yuekui had told her some things before. From the source, Caesar has been born for 100,000 years, but strictly speaking, he is only in his twenties as they know him now, because for the past 100,000 years, his divine essence has been in an incomplete state, equivalent to the embryonic stage of a human, not even an infant.

However, when Caesar's mother, the White Dragon, sent him to the Void World, she infused his divine essence with her own Void Realm divine power, causing Caesar's divine power to awaken prematurely. Therefore, even though he was not even an infant, his divine power had already appeared.

This is also why Caesar's Void Realm Divine Power and Colorless Realm Divine Power are almost limitless. Over the course of 100,000 years, Caesar's will was incomplete, so the "quality" of his two divine powers did not change. That strength was purely a matter of talent, but the "quantity" over 100,000 years is an extremely terrifying number.

To explain it using a game analogy, Caesar's mana bar has been developing for 100,000 years, but his attack power has not changed. Although he can rely on his terrifying mana bar to perform miracles with great force, his body cannot withstand it, and his incomplete divine essence cannot support his growth. This is also why Caesar's excessive use of his power in his childhood would cause a backlash.

Caesar's divine essence has now been replenished, and his original growth potential has been restored, but this growth potential is also limited by a certain range.

An excessive burst of divine power will lead to excessive consumption of divine essence. There is a limit to how much you can unleash your full power; doing so indefinitely will come at a price.

Caesar can stimulate his explosive growth through a certain degree of danger, but this leap cannot be too large.

So this guy dares to take the forbidden light spell head-on, but he'll feel weak when facing Su Lu's fusion forbidden spell.

But Caesar's father, whose base stats are impossible to calculate, has an even more exaggerated explosive power than Caesar.

Moreover, that guy is not from their world. If he overuses his power, the dimensional repulsion will become extremely terrifying.

Even if Caesar were to act recklessly, he would never use his old father as insurance, not only because he himself would feel uncomfortable, but more so because he was worried about something unexpected happening.

"One careless mistake could destroy the world"—this is no joke!

It really could happen!
