Sam tried his best to start a metal attack as both of them struggled. But he was being rejected as the opponent's mentality is too strong. He looked at him in the eyes and whispered something in his ears.

"I heard your wife escaped before you could consummate your marriage, should I help her when I visit there?"

He said this in such a way that no one would hear it, but suddenly Arkiv became so angry that his body started tearing apart with the spiritual energy running rampant.

But Sam managed to beat that mental wall and he managed to start a mental connection.

He could feel two mentalities battling inside Arkiv's spiritual consciousness. Even though it is a fight it looked like Arkiv's soul is being trapped under the first one.

Sam just got a glimpse before his spirit was kicked out. He was also hit by another wave of spiritual energy and was kicked off. His coat is completely ruined. The feathers are fine, but the threads are destroyed.

He removed the coat and once again went to suppress this mentality, he didn't dare to provoke that guy anymore.

As he knew that Arkiv might die if this goes on.

He once again tried to create another metal intrusion but he couldn't the other side is too strong.

After all, it is the god.

That's right. Currently, it is Hou Yi possessed Arkiv and Sam found out because when he first came to this world and learned archery in the divine dimension, the divine will that he saw regarding the archery techniques was named Hou's Archery.

At that time he really didn't relate to the name.

He just went on to learn it. But the staff techniques he learned in the same way and named as Monkey's staff techniques turned out to be moves of Sun Wukong.

So, when he saw those familiar moves from Arkiv, he finally managed to relate. But Hou Yi was extremely reckless, he didn't care about Arkiv's physical condition like a madman and kept on attacking Sam with the intent to kill.

Now Arkiv's body is almost completely destroyed and just a few seconds away from irreversible damage.

If it is damaged too much, it would be impossible to restore it with direct healing.

And Sam is caring so much because this is between Hou Yi and him, other people should have been kept out and particularly when Arkiv is Hou Yi's player, he should have at least considered his well-being.,

Sam is trying to get past the metal defense once again, but it is not happening. He thought for a second and his fingers turned metallic as two needles appeared on the index and middle fingers as he stabbed the needles into Arkiv's arm and the Paralytic poison that secretes from Mia's bloodline was injected into his body.

And finally, the reckless movement was stopped and Sam took out an energy sealing device which he uses to keep the prisoners in check and seal their cultivations and placed it on Arkiv.

He didn't even dare to heal directly as Hou Yi has vast experience and might find a way to use that energy he injected into harm Arkiv even more.

He took out the heavenly wine and started spraying it on the cracks that appeared on the body. He tried to stop the bleeding and check the body condition.

When he saw the condition he couldn't help but feel angry.

He took the shadow sword for the first time in a while. From what he learned from the shadow sword, it is an extremely high-level weapon and it has its way around mental attacks.

It can sever the connection between a weaker spirit weapon and its user forcefully. He couldn't help but turn to the sword.

The shadow sword floated around and said to Sam.

"This guy is quite powerful, it is not his full soul, it is just a wisp. Whom did you piss off?"

Even though, he said that a faint sword ray shot out of the sword and entered Arkiv's head.

"This guy is quite resistant. Make his mentality a bit unstable."

Sam thought for a second and once again whispered something in the ear and the shadow sword used this chance to make a move.

Finally, Arkiv's condition showed stability as he came back to his senses slowly.

"He will be busy for a while, I couldn't kill him. Even if I did forcefully, the main body will be affected. So, try to bring the main body back to his consciousness.

By the way, what did you tell him that he became so angry?"

"He has the most beautiful wife in the world, but he hadn't done the deed before she escaped. You can imagine the rest."

"Useless fellow."

Shadow sword remarked about Hou Yi and Sam could almost picture the sword spirit being a handsome man rolling his eyes in disdain.

He shook his head to get rid of these useless thoughts as he put the shadow sword back in and looked for the solution to the current situation.

What shadow sword did is temporary.

Seeing that the situation has stabilized a bit, the rest of the players asked Sam what the exact problem is and Sam said everything without hiding.

From the last message they got about the bounty on Sam and this situation, they got a gist of the situation. But they didn't feel relieved. They felt extremely fearful as they thought about what these gods will do them.

Meanwhile, back in the higher realms far away from the undead realm, King Yao's special realm. Hou Yi has his personal estate here as he has a contract with King Yao.

He is currently sitting cross-legged with his long hair let loose. If one saw him in this setting, they would think that he is a young sage untainted by any form of negativity.

At this moment, space cracked outside the estate, and two hands tore the space like a piece of fabric and came out of this.

He has a dark aura emanating from him with his face all blurry. The space crack didn't close behind him as he walked into the castle.

Hou Yi suddenly opened his eyes in his room and disappeared from the spot. He reappeared outside his estate as he floated over and looked down at Gambler who is walking inside.

"Gambler, what are…"

Even before he could finish his sentence, Gambler disappeared from the spot and reappeared in the air right before Hou Yi.

He held him by the collar and threw him over his shoulder towards the ground.

But before he let go of his collar and throw him down, with a single thought, the gravity of the area increased by tens of thousands of times which made Hou Yi lose control, he crashed onto the ground. But the Gambler didn't stop there.

He increased the gravity even more than space around became a bit unstable as just canceled his levitation.

He directly crashed into Hou Yi who couldn't make sense of the situation and the next moment, the pounding of the millennium began as the Gambler took the mount position and started hitting him in the face.

He knocked the teeth, made the jaw break, and soon the skull is also cracking.

With every one of his hits, the tremors hit the whole realm and the castle of Hou Yi was already destroyed into mere rubble and the surrounding space is becoming unstable and the spatial cracks are spread all over.

The realm is trembling as it feared the Gambler's anger.

But the Gambler didn't seem to care about anything else as he beat the crap out of his fellow immortal.

At this moment another spatial fluctuation appeared as a middle-aged man appeared out of thin air,

He looked at the Gambler and said.

"Gambler, it is enough. If you have a problem, we can discuss it. The whole realm is trembling and it will be damaged severely if you don't stop now and I would be forced to move."

Gambler halted his actions and looked at King Yao who appeared out of thin air.

A few moments later.

King Yao, the Gambler, and Hou Yi, all three of them are sitting inside a room around a table.

The gambler looked at Hou Yi with disdain in his eyes and said.

"You broke too many rules and even possessed your own player to kill another player. This is completely unacceptable. But right now, I don't have time to deal with you. You will now stop your stupid actions and give all three rewards to Sam, along with the promised reward which he could ask.

You will triple the reward and give something equivalent to the runner-up prize to the rest of the players and the other participants in the Palace of inheritance along with the protection charms you promised to deliver.

We will be holding a meeting for two more days and see whether you will continue on with the game. If you so much as think about breaking the rules again, I don't care if the balance between various realms will break, but I will kill you directly even at the cost of destruction of a whole realm."

"You shouldn't be saying such reckless things." King Yao said from the side.

The Gambler looked at him and said.

"I will say what I want to say and I will do what I want to do. There is nothing you can do to stop the former and there is nothing you are capable of doing to stop the latter. Take care of your subordinate while you still can. After all, he might even die in a few decades.

He provoked the wrong person."

"Don't you think it is too much for you to threaten to kill me right in front of King Yao? That too twice." Hou Yi spoke.

"You seemed to be a mistake. The first one is not a threat, it is a warning, the second one is not even considering my actions, it is the actions of the person you just tried to kill. Trust me, from what I know of that guy, your gamble was already against the odds from the start, and from what you did now, you don't have any chance."

With that, he left the place by tearing open a portal.
