This Holy Knight is So Despicable!

Do you want to continue gambling?

Rafdel, with bloodshot eyes, gritted his teeth, his forehead veins bulging.

He was very hesitant because in the previous two duels, he thought victory was assured. And for the third match, he had only prepared a backup plan.

But now, he had lost the first two matches, and lost them completely, miserably!

If this duel were to end here, he and the entire Life God System would become the laughingstock of all the gods, with the duel becoming a topic for everyone's idle chatter.

They would be ruthlessly nailed to the pillar of shame.

Especially with the new strategies displayed by the Holy Light Church in the two contests, which would inevitably trigger a reform across the entire Divine Realm.

And they would also be inscribed into the long river of history as negative lessons and foils.

For the short-lived, this is an unacceptable humiliation.

For these god-like beings with virtually no lifespan limits, it is a disturbing thought.

"Gamble."

A god from the Life God System said softly, "At this point, we have nothing left to lose."

"Yeah, it can't get any worse than this, can it?"

Other gods from the Life God System also agreed, they sincerely did not want the matter to end just like that!

They were not unwilling. Instead, it was a completely different mindset.

It was the desperation and helplessness of those whose lives were hanging by a thread, clutching the last straw.

"We... will gamble! I want to continue gambling with you!"

Lette smiled slightly, "Very good! But before that, you must first hand over what you lost to us."

The Judge above the sky thought for a moment and then slowly spoke.

[Duel alteration, Holy Light Divine Court's request is reasonable, settling stakes...]

Two beams of divine light burst from the Judge's eyes, enveloping the position of the Life God System's gods.

Then, four orbs of light rose into the air, flying over the Duel Arena, and landed in front of Lette and the others.

[Gakros' Divine Lawbook], [Laurel Wreath of the Elf King], and a branch from the [World Tree], along with just the staff head of the [Order God's Scepter].

"Hahahahaha, what a big haul! As the saying goes, a man is not rich without external wealth, and a horse is not fat without nightly fodder!"

Lette happily played with his spoils of war, "To get rich, one indeed has to rob from fat dogs!

Come, come, you four line up, let's distribute the spoils."

Lette gave Gakros' Divine Lawbook to Joanna, the staff head of the Order God's Scepter to Afra.

As for the Laurel Wreath of the Elf King and the World Tree Branch, they were directly given to the sisters, Noi and Nora.

Afra held the half staff, tears of excitement welling up.

"Finally! I finally have my own divine artifact! Hahahahaha!"

"Even if it's just a half-piece."

Afra took a deep breath, "Half a piece is better than none."

"In the future, you should lessen your visits to those divine material stores that open jars and treasure chests."

The winnings from the gamble all found their destinations, and everyone was all smiles. Lette turned around and looked again at the Life God System's side.

"Alright, the stakes from the last round have been handed over, what stakes can you offer next?

Let's establish one thing first, if you can't offer something that interests us, then the final match might as well be called off."

The gods of the Life God System debated intensely, and after a long argument, Rafdel eventually chose to stand up again.

Clearly, he was now the spokesperson for the entire Life God System.

"Why not, you name your price."

Lette was stunned for a moment, then showed a scornful expression. Even the gods in the entire Duel Arena booed.

After all that discussion, this was the result.

Yet many gods also recognized the decision.

Though it looked humiliating, it effectively reduced the risk of being refused by the other side to zero.

Should the Holy Light Divine Court reneges, dissatisfied with whatever price the Life God System offered, eventually refusing the third decider match.

Then the Life God System would gain nothing and be publicly shamed.

But if they threw the problem back to Lette and his team, they could ensure the third match would happen.

At worst, the opponents would name an outrageous price, and they could negotiate it down right there.

So many gods were watching, along with an absolutely fair Judge. The opponents, even if they wanted to take advantage, couldn't overreach.

Lette sneered, easily seeing through the other's petty tricks.

Such behavior of looking at others with the heart of a villain was contemptible.

Lette turned to face Noi and Nora, "Do either of you have something you want? Let's win it all at once.

Don't be tense, don't be polite, it should be something that will make them hurt and thoroughly humiliate them, while being very beneficial to us!

Quick, think of something."

Noi and Nora exchanged glances and then unanimously said.

"Then, let's have Sistri's Imperial Palace."

"Sistri's Imperial Palace?"

"Yes, Sistri was the Divine Emperor of the first-generation God System, and Sistri's Imperial Palace, once our homeland. Or rather, the Divine Emperor's palace of the Life God System's Divine King."

In their eyes was nostalgia, clearly, they were very fond of their former homeland.

"It was the place where we grew up, a breathtaking Imperial Garden, and a symbolic group of buildings in the Life God System."

Lette clapped his hands, "Understood, a spectacle!

Indeed, it should be won over."

With that, he turned to look at the Life God System's gods and revealed a friendly smile.

"After much consideration and research, we are prepared to bet on your Sistri's Imperial Palace!"

As soon as he said this, the Life God System's gods were first surprised, then roared angrily to vent their dissatisfaction.

It's said you shouldn't hit someone in the face, yet Lette's demand was essentially hitting them in the face and throwing it into the gutter.

Facing their anger, Lette gestured for a pause, then slowly posed a question that left them speechless.

"Does your Life God System, currently have any gods with Divine Emperor bloodline?"

"..."

"Since you don't have the Bloodline of the Sistri God Emperor anymore, why are you so attached to that Divine Emperor's Imperial Garden?

Here, I have a legitimate Divine Emperor bloodline, a rightful heir to the Imperial Garden.

Let me tell you.

Even if you choose not to bet today, we may visit someday and claim it back.

Now giving you an opportunity to use it as stakes, you should secretly be happy!

So, what will it be, bet or not, give an answer?"

The Life God System appeared incensed, as if ready to fight Lette to the death.

But eventually, Rafdel reached out to stop everyone. He took a deep breath, eyes filled with madness.

"We! Will bet!"
