Chapter 430: Chapter 243 “Unacceptable Punishment” and “Not Even Once” (Please Subscribe) _2
Translator: 549690339
After nodding his head, the Deep Blue Realm Master spoke again.
After saying those words, he didn’t provide an explanation.
After all, Milton Cheney was not a fool, and naturally, he could grasp the implications of his words.
All the punishments that the Realm Masters can’t accept, anyone could guess what that would be without thinking.
“Failure of a task would mean losing the status of a Realm Master?”
Milton muttered softly.
He figured that this was most likely the case.
After all, the only probable punishment that no Realm Master could accept was this one.
This was the first time he found out about this.
After all, he hasn’t personally experienced tasks assigned by the Tide World Consciousness, hence, he doesn’t fully understand these aspects.
“Yes, losing the identity of the Realm Master.”
The Deep Blue Realm Master spoke, confirming Milton’s guess.
His tone was very calm, as though this punishment was of no importance to him.
His face held a solemn expression, yet there was no trace of worry or anxiety.
It was as if he knew that even though this task would be difficult, it wouldn’t reach the level of impossibility.
After responding to Milton’s words, the Deep Blue Realm Master seemed to remember something.
The solemnity on his face disappeared, replaced with an interested expression.
He looked at Milton and said,
“The World Consciousness has assigned at least hundreds of thousands of tasks. Can you guess how many of them have been unsuccessful?”
This question sparked Milton’s interest.
He had nothing to do at the moment, and a guess wouldn’t hurt.
Having thought this far, curiosity flickered in Milton’s eyes.
A moment later, Milton responded,
“Between a hundred and two hundred?”
Milton finally guessed a relatively conservative number.
After all, compared to the hundreds of thousands of tasks mentioned by the Deep Blue Realm Master, the number “between a hundred and two hundred” was very conservative.
Upon hearing Milton’s words, a smile appeared on the face of the Deep Blue Realm Master.
It seemed like he had foreseen that Milton would come up with such a number.
However, the Deep Blue Realm Master shook his head, indicating that Milton’s guess was wrong.
Seeing the Deep Blue Realm Master shake his head, Milton was somewhat surprised.
With several hundred thousand tasks as the base, guessing the exact number was not an easy thing.
But upon seeing the smile on the face of the Deep Blue Realm Master, Milton suddenly had a bold idea.
Although he didn’t understand the Deep Blue Realm Master very well, Milton did realize that unless something extraordinarily amusing came up, the Deep Blue Realm Master would not display such an expression.
With this in mind, a word tumbled out of Milton’s mouth.
“Could it be that not a single task has failed.”
Milton asked, somewhat unsure.
Because, after all, he couldn’t be certain that his guess was correct.
The idea was somewhat fantastic.
Hundreds of thousands of tasks, and not a single failure?
Even contemplating it seemed somewhat impossible, yet that was exactly what Milton guessed.
After all, this was just a diverting conjecture—there was no punishment for guessing wrong.
So Milton guessed as far as his thoughts would allow him.
However, as soon as Milton finished speaking, a look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the Deep Blue Realm Master.
Apparently, he had not expected Milton to guess that result.
Seeing the expression of the Deep Blue Realm Master, Milton instantly understood that he had been toyed with.
Could there really have been no failed tasks at all?
That seemed too extraordinary.
If there was not a single failure, it meant that there was no margin for error at all.
Despite everything, Milton didn’t feel any anger.
“I know you might find it hard to believe, but that’s the truth.”
“Since the World Consciousness started assigning tasks, there has not been a single failure.”
The Deep Blue Realm Master confirmed Milton’s guess.
Milton was right in his inference—so what’s the big deal, he thought.
He was just waiting for Milton Cheney to fail in his guess and then reveal the answer, looking forward to seeing Cheney’s surprised expression.
However, he hadn’t expected that Cheney would guess the correct answer on his second attempt.
After receiving confirmation from the Deep Blue Realm Master, Cheney didn’t speak further.
Now he finally understood why the Deep Blue Realm Master, knowing the extraordinary nature of the Wizard Realm, was merely serious and not worried at all.
The reason for Deep Blue’s confidence was simple.
Several hundreds of thousands of missions had been undertaken, with not a single failure. This was definitely much more than mere coincidence.
Cheney was certain that among these hundreds of thousands of missions, there were tasks even more difficult than destroying the Wizard Realm.
Nevertheless, in the end, all the missions were successfully completed.
There must be some reason or hidden rule, which the present-day Cheney is not yet aware of.
Cheney’s thoughts began to diverge, contemplating the reasons behind it.
A moment later, an idea struck Cheney.
He wasn’t a fool. The Deep Blue Realm Master had already shared so much, and if Cheney didn’t make some guesses about his past experiences, they would have been in vain.
“You want to invite other Realm Masters?”
Cheney spoke.
His words were not tinged with uncertainty, instead, there was a touch of curiosity in his tone.
After all, this guess was the most plausible one.
Because Cheney had known from the beginning that Tide Realm’s move against the Wizard Realm was not merely the work of a single Realm Master.
And since the Deep Blue Realm Master wouldn’t abandon the mission and let others take over, the only conclusion could be the invitation of other Realm Masters to join forces.
Besides, Cheney had some other guesses.
However, the likelihood of those guesses was slim, hence Cheney didn’t voice them.
Hearing Cheney’s words, the Deep Blue Realm Master wasn’t surprised.
It was only normal for Cheney to be able to guess, considering the amount of information he had revealed.
“Exactly, I alone, as a Realm Master, probably won’t be able to complete this mission,” the Deep Blue Realm Master said without hesitation.
As the mission had exceeded its original difficulty level, it was natural to call upon other Realm Masters.
“Even if other Realm Masters help, they likely won’t be much help to you, right?”
Cheney asked.
His question was quite tactful.
He knew that the Deep Blue Realm Master would invite other Realm Masters, but Cheney was still curious about how these other Masters were supposed to help the Deep Blue Realm Master.
After all, this mission to destroy the Wizard Realm was the Deep Blue Realm Master’s own.
Even if the other Masters were willing to help, they wouldn’t dare place themselves in danger, would they?
Just like Cheney himself, if the Deep Blue Realm Master invited him, Cheney would definitely refuse.
Even though he was somewhat familiar with the Deep Blue Realm Master now.
But he knew his own strength. Cheney knew that if he pretended to be more competent than he actually was, he wouldn’t meet a good end.
Hearing Cheney’s words, the Deep Blue Realm Master chuckled.
Of course, he understood the meaning behind Cheney’s words.
However, he wasn’t surprised. It was only natural that Cheney didn’t understand, as he’d become a Realm Master not long ago.
“Ordinary Realm Masters naturally won’t do, so I must invite those who have also undertaken missions this time.”
“Although their tasks are different, they too have a mission symbol with them,” the Deep Blue Realm Master explained.
For such invitations, the Masters who have accepted tasks usually do not refuse.
After all, their futures might also need the help of other Realm Masters.
It was because of this that completing a difficult task together with different Realm Masters had become a sort of unwritten rule.
This was why there had been no single failure among hundreds of thousands of missions.
After all, the number of Realm Masters in the Tide Realm was just too many.
Upon hearing the explanation of the Deep Blue Realm Master, an understanding clicked into place for Cheney, and he felt as though everything was clear.
He also understood why there had not been a single failure in all the missions.
Seeing Cheney’s expression, the Deep Blue Realm Master gave a small smile.
The next moment, the mysterious symbol once again appeared before him.
He drew upon the Power of Destiny, infusing it into the mysterious symbol.
