Chapter 1466: Chapter 637: The Absolutely ’Fair’ Balance of Order_3

"What, afraid I’ll harm you?" The Shadow Man seemed to read Mu You’s thoughts and chuckled. "Relax, I won’t kill you. I should say, killing you would be pointless."

"That goes for you as well."

"At our level, victory can no longer be determined by mere physical outcomes."

"Only by defeating each other in the game of Divine Power can one claim true victory."

The Shadow Man gestured toward the chair opposite him once again.

"Come now, I’ve waited countless years for this moment. Everything in this tower has long been nauseating to me."

"If I defeat you next, I can leave this place and return to my true form. If you defeat me, you’ll gain complete control of this server, and I’ll find release... In any case, no matter the result, I can accept it."

"..."

Mu You listened to the other’s words with a peculiar expression.

This so-called Avatar of the God of Chaos... was very different from what he had imagined.

Mu You had thought that upon encountering the God of Chaos, they would immediately be at each other’s throats—an intense confrontation with no room for civility, swords drawn and ready for battle.

But unexpectedly, the duel was to be decided in such a civilized manner...

Mu You stepped forward and looked at the chessboard on the stone platform.

Go?

He didn’t know how to play Go...

Mu You furrowed his brow but still sat down on the stone chair on the opposite side.

Fortunately, in the next moment, when Mu You activated his Order Perspective...

The chessboard before him transformed instantly, becoming a board entirely constructed of Order and Chaos Runes.

On the board, a diagonal line divided the two sides, each clearly distinct—one side was filled with Chaos Runes, while the other was occupied by Order Runes.

Order and Chaos stood apart like an unbreachable divide, confronting each other while refusing to blend, locked in opposition yet interconnected.

Especially at the boundary, where Order and Chaos Runes clashed violently, devouring one another endlessly, yet due to their evenly matched strength, maintained a dynamic equilibrium.

Mu You immediately understood the concept.

This wasn’t Go, at least not the kind of Go he was familiar with, but rather a pure battle of rules.

Every piece they placed would represent the forces of Order or Chaos, aiming to devour and convert the opponent’s pieces until the entire board was occupied by one type of piece, marking the end of the game.

It wasn’t a test of chess skills but rather their comprehension of the Laws of Order and Chaos.

"Since you’re ready, let’s begin."

The Shadow Man grabbed a black piece from the stone bowl but didn’t place it, instead raising his head and saying, "As for who makes the first move... let the judge decide."

"The judge?"

Mu You hadn’t yet processed what the Shadow Man meant when he suddenly felt the ground tremble.

"Boom——"

Amid the violent shaking, the stone slabs underfoot began to fall piece by piece, dropping into the forty-ninth floor more than a hundred meters below.

The surroundings abruptly opened up.

Mu You looked down and found that the stone table before him was actually built on top of a colossal balance scale!

The stone table occupied the central point of the scale, while their respective stone chairs were situated perfectly on either side.

The Scale of Order?!

Mu You was startled. He had thought he would need to defeat the Avatar of the God of Chaos before finding the scale, but it turned out the scale was right beneath their feet.

And it seemed the Shadow Man intended for the Scale of Order to serve as the judge for their duel...

As Mu You was thinking this, three dice projections formed in the air above the scale’s center, spinning wildly without any pattern.

After a few seconds, the three dice stopped one by one.

[Two, Three, Two.]

[Small! White starts first!]

Two lines of information appeared on the stone table.

"Emmm..."

Mu You’s expression turned odd.

The result was ’small,’ sure, but why was it decided that white would start first? It seemed neither had bet on big or small...

You’re supposed to be impartial as a judge, and yet you blatantly favor one side—what happened to living up to the name ’Scale’?
