"No, did you not hear ? He is the son of the South, you expect to Wager the hope of my people? Co on, old man don't make repeat myself. If not for the original body asking to show restraint, I would not be asking you, you would be begging for your life," Southern Ruler's Incarnation's words followed by a burst of his domineering soul energy signature, clearing the surrounding clouds.
Arnas's master was shocked when the incarnation revealed its full soul energy signature, he could not believe that one could refine an incarnation this powerful, that was when he rembered the origin card of Anna Heatsend, the current Southern Emperor and rumored to be the hier of the Southern region. Giving him an insight into why the incarnation's physical and soul energy signature was similar to the Southern Ruler but completely different emotionally and spiritually.
It seems that the Southern Royal family has co up with a new way of refining incarnations based on the origin card of the Southern Emperor. No wonder he could not gauge the strength of the incarnation, as in exchange for the ntal deviance the incarnation possesses the entire strength of the original and can develop independently. Considering the quality and strength of the incarnation the exchange was worth it.
Provoked, Arnas's Master did not back down he explosively released his intimidating soul energy signature clashing it with the incarnations soul energy signature. The only thing holding him back from, teaching this deviant incarnation a lesson was the fact the price paid would not be worth it.
Regardless of his win, others would only focus on his struggle to achieve a win against the incarnation of the Southern Ruler. It wasn't worth it, his pride would not allow such a thing. Southern Ruler knew this and that was exactly why he had sent this incarnation of his instead of sending his son or another representative.
Understanding that this Incarnation of the Southern Ruler was crazy and did not have a single diplomatic bone in it, Arnas's master stopped his diplomatic approach and spoke the language the barbarian in front of him could understand, Madness.
"I will stop beating around the bush, If my people manage to capture Dalton Wyatt from your people, I take everything. If your people manage to protect him from my people, then you take everything. When I say everything, I an everything from silver milk powder to the Soul energy digestion effect cards to the VR Universe," Arnas's master laid everything on the table as he did not want to miss such an opportunity to capture the creator of VR-Universe and knew that Southern Ruler's incarnation would not leave peaceful if he did not imdiately withdraw his force from the southern capital.
"Who are you kidding? Don't get wrong. You are one of the Masters but even you do not have the power to decide this," the incarnation finally cald down hearing that the VR-Universe created by Wyatt was also on the table.
Though all three of the things wagered by the Arnas's Master were not his to be wagered what this actually ant was that he would legally legitimize the exclusive ownership of these three things. It was them basically saying if the Southern Royal family won the wager they would no longer covet the Silver milk powder, Soul energy digestion effect card, and the VR universe.
Of the three things wagered, gaining exclusive ownership of either of the things would be enough to elevate the social and economic standing of the Southern Region by an astronomical margin.
This could potentially eliminate one of the huge risks the VR-Universe was about to face, being declared illegal by the central governnt. Once the Central governnt declares the VR Universe illegal and cracks down hard on its VR sli cards, despite the cards' magical soul energy digestion effect and the obvious benefits of the VR-Universe the masses would have no choice to but give up on it. So dare people would try to resist this law, but considering the central governnt's reign over the card world for millennia the resistance will easily scrubbed.
VR-universe was not just an opportunity for the Southern region but for everyone who could not afford the card world due to the monopoly of the top university over knowledge and the monopoly of the central governnt and royal families over resources. VR-universe was sothing that could potentially assure the Card world into a new age that could not be controlled even by the likes of the central governnt. Therefore, the Masters would never agree to legitimize it and give on its ownership. Therefore even though impressed by the stacks given by Arnas's master the Southern Ruler's Incarnation did not actually believe that it would be possible.
"Yes, you are correct. I do not have the authority to unilaterally decide on sothing this big but this does," Arnas's master said as summoned a captivating scroll from his grimoire.
"World's Decree," the Incarnation blurted looking at the scroll in Arnas's master's hand. Just by the reaction of the Southern Ruler's rude incarnation, one could tell that this was the real deal capable of doing what Arnas's master claid.
"..." Arnas's master was satisfied by the look of shock on the incarnation's face, he thoroughly enjoyed it.
World Decree had the reality-manipulating ability that could turn the user's order into a truth that would be imposed by the World's Will. It was basically the reason why the Masters were able to dominate and rule the card world for millennia despite the existence of powerful figures like the Heatsends, other royal families, sects, hidden cults, etc.
For example, using the world degree, the Master could basically order that "Fire doesn't burn human skin" or "Oxygen is poisonous" and the world will ensure to impose these orders as the new truth regardless of the consequence. Even if it ant the end of the world itself. If it were the world degree then Arnas's master could indeed deliver on the stakes he wagered.
