Sam looked at both of them and they are charred black. They are barely holding their breath. It is too easy to kill them.

But Sam looked weary. Even though he didn't suffer any form of serious injury, he was drained. His face was pale and his body is sore all over and every muscle is hurting.

He stabbed the staff into the ground and tried his best to stand. He wanted to take a seat and rest or even lay down.

There is no way he could easily take them down. Although he made it look easy with his mannerism and expressions, there is no way it is easy. This is the fight that is closest to the fight he had with Sanjay.

But he was amused because there is no presence of a battle spirit this time. But he didn't think much, at this moment, he desperately wanted to hear the announcement of his win. And he heaved a sigh of relief in the very next second because Kartikeya announced his win.

Sam immediately let the staff go and collapsed to the ground. He took out the heavenly wine and started drinking in huge gulps.

When Karthikeya saw him drinking the heavenly wine like that, his face twitched. Because the wine is quite famous in the highest realms, even the greatest of gods fight over it, even though the wine Sam is having is one to one million diluted version, he is still thinking it is a waste for someone to drink it like that.

And he is sure that Sam didn't know the value of that wine at all.

He snapped his fingers, Noah and Kumar disappeared and Sam was also transferred to a room.

There is a large stone table and there are two chairs on either side of the table. As he was looking around, he saw karthikeya's silhouette appearing out of thin air in one of the stone chairs.

He looked at Sam and said.

"Take a seat."

Sam walked towards the other stone chair and sat down before placing the wine gourd on the stone table.

His energy didn't recover completely. He doesn't know exactly what test it this time, but he knew that he would need the full energy.

Karthikeya glanced at him and said.

"You still need to recover, so let us put this on hold and talk for a bit until you recover."

"Thank you so much," Sam said with a smile and took a swig from the gourd.

"I must say I am really impressed. Do you know why?" Karthikeya asked.

"No."

"Not a single Idea?"

"I am good at many things and in fact too many things. You could have been impressed by any of them, it is too hard to guess."

Sam said with the same smile. Karthikeya suddenly wanted to beat him up. Who would speak to a God like that? One must say that Sam really has a way with his things; he can even piss off a god so much that he wanted to lose his temper.

"You are the most disadvantaged candidate of all the twelve players. The gambler has taken off every advantage we have decided to give the players and chose his own options, which everyone in the game laughed at.

Three Palace of Inheritances happened, but our own players whom we thought that are so advantageous all lost to you. That too by a large margin. In all the three inheritances, you are the biggest winner."

"I don't think I am in a disadvantageous position at all. I think I am a bit overpowered actually." Sam replied.

"All the other players, have the dimensional crosser and you had to find your own Dimensional Transported that was left behind by someone else ages ago.

You have seen the battle techniques they used right? Those are the techniques specifically made by the gods in the game to give their players. And they only unlocked after they became Nascent stage cultivators and they couldn't even use it in the first few stages. And even now, the technique is only partial, with their cultivations it will also evolve.

Other than that, all of their other battle technique was given by us.

Apart from that, every other player was born in a super-power of the planet, but you were sent to a rural place.

They also have other benefits waiting for the later stages of the game.

Compared to that, all you were given is a birth in a rural place and you had to cultivate his special cultivation technique which would need too many resources that would force you to earn and grow. The divine dimension is a great thing, but what can you do with it in your stage, all the players are destined to be reaching a level where they can conquer or even create their own divine dimensions.

And it can at most used as a residence for your beasts.

As for the tower, you cannot cultivate there. All you have are a bunch of cultivation techniques and a lot of low-level battle techniques, moderate-level recipes of pills and potions, and many other things. Simply put, there is loads of information covering many topics and elements.

Even the simulation and the third floor with the battle monitor and manipulator. They are not useful for your direct strength. After all, what can you do by focusing on all the different things? It will add more burden. With your talent, if you focus on cultivation you could reach greater heights.

I still think you have a disadvantage because these blood arts will evolve higher and higher and make you suffer more."

Sam thought for a bit and smiled once again.

"If you don't mind, can I tell you something?"

"Sure."

"I hope you wouldn't be angry at this and forgive me for any offense I might cause."

"Don't worry and speak your mind."

"I think the Gambler or whoever he is has played you big time."

"What do you mean?"

"He fooled all of you, not just you. All the gods in the game."

Karthikeya looked at him with a bit of anger in his eyes. He would like to slap Sam to death for calling him a fool, but he restrained himself and asked.

"Explain."

"The things you said, yes they are advantages. But for all the players. Not me. It makes it too easy for me. In fact, it will make me dumb. Gambler understood what kind of person I am. To a man like me, the most valuable thing is always the information.

As you said, all I got is the information and a lot of it. And with that information, I became an artisan, I earned money, I made everything about who I am. I earned money; so much that even after feeding all the beasts that should be cultivated along with me, I still have money to do much more.

And do you know what I do with that money? I make more of it.

I enjoy making, creating, fighting, killing, business. Gambler wanted me to do something, so he gave me a chance by exchanging all the knowledge to me so that I could what I liked along with what he wants. We had a transaction.

Now, all your players had a dimensional crosser that can only allow them to move once every three years and they cannot choose the location. But I don't have to.

Your players who were born in major powers have to follow rules and restrictions and had to fight for someone else and work for someone else. I don't have to.

They have to practice the battle techniques you designed whether they liked it or not, but I don't have to.

I don't know what the objective of this game is at the moment, but you should know it very clearly. I think that what Gambler did is most beneficial to him. After all, to be a god and be called Gambler, he must have won bets like breathing air. So, do you really believe that he would put his player in such a bad position with so many ridiculous disadvantages as you put?"

Sam took a swig as he paused and continued.

"That is why I said that he fooled all of you. Gambler seemed to have looked into me for a long time to understand my character and abilities that I am more proficient in and figured out a way to use me in the most efficient way before selecting what he should give me.

And here you are thinking he put me in the most disadvantageous position. If that is not making you a fool, I don't know what is."

When Sam finished, Karthikeya was in deep thought. He didn't think in this perspective. After all, he is too busy and too big to care about some trivial game they set up in the mortal realm.

This is a game many gods are playing for many centuries. This is some sort of fun in their boring lives. This is their form of entertainment in more than a single way.

But as he thought about it, he felt like he was really played by the Gambler. He looked at Sam and said.

"I think you recovered enough, time for the last game. This will decide the reward you will get."
