Before they could reply, Levi and the rest of the Daywalkers found themselves grouped up in one spot... even Jojo was brought next to them. She was still out cold after Gamaster Envy healed her wounds.
"She must have sacrificed a lot of lifeforce," Nurah sighed as she caressed Jojo’s slightly ashen cheeks.
She knew that almost all wounds were treated with the system’s help once the ga concluded... lifeforce wasn’t on the list.
That’s why all Rifters thought twice before consuming their lifeforce in the gas; they understood it was gone forever, and it would be a great hassle to recover it, considering how rare and expensive its natural treasures were.
"Without her going the extra mile, we might not have made it out alive."
Tyrese paid his respects with a nod...
"I will donate any Lifeforce-based treasure for her treatnt if we find so in the treasuries."
Evangeline and the others followed suit, knowing that if Jojo hadn’t bought Jasmine ti, Rain would have introduced them to a world of horror.
"I can use my wish to restore her wasted lifeforce right now..." Shia offered casually while crouching next to Jojo. Before Arthur and her friends could fight her for it, Shia added calmly, "You gifted the wish during our first ga. It’s my turn to give back."
Levi shook his head in disapproval.
"No, save your wish for yourself," Levi said calmly. "Event wishes offer exclusive Genies based on one’s Main Aspect... you can’t waste such a precious opportunity to strengthen yourself."
Tyrese and the rest agreed... Normally, CRS Platform gas offered Genies related to the ga’s the. However, events were special in nature, and the platform had to step up the rewards.
As for Levi’s Unique Wish? It was even more special... but more on that later.
"What about Jojo?" Arthur wondered.
"Leave it to ."
Levi gave a brief reply, but it made everyone drop the matter at once. If their captain said he had it covered, then it was handled.
"Are you done?" Gamaster Envy repeated sternly. "Will you accept your wishes here or in private?"
"Later."
Levi spoke for his friends, who supported his decision with a nod. They knew Gamaster Envy was trying to sow bad blood between the three squads since Heliodor’s Raiders were the only ones with access to wishes.
Tyrese’s and Evangeline’s squads only had access to a split of the awarded treasury; yet, none of them seed to mind. Tyrese even reached out to Levi telepathically, saying they would give them privacy to ask for their wishes in peace.
Levi rejected the idea on the basis that he still hadn’t thought of a good wish and didn’t want to rush it. After settling the matter in private, Gamaster Envy clicked his tongue as he created three portals in front of them.
"Let’s et up in the World Tree Plaza."
"Alright."
"See you there."
Without hesitation, Tyrese picked the left portal and went inside with his remaining teammates.
Evangeline’s team chose the right portal, leaving the central one to Levi’s squad. Levi and the other captains had already decided on a three-way treasury split if they won.
It didn’t matter who perford better or worse, as the wishes made it fair for everyone involved. With Levi owning a Unique Wish and his teammates having exclusive wishes, they didn’t mind the split; they weren’t that greedy.
After Arthur picked up Jojo on his back, he led the way through the central portal, followed by Shia, Jasmine, and Nurah. Just as Levi gave Gamaster Envy a nod and tried to step inside, he heard him utter:
"You remind greatly of a rising star within the Nocturnal Ring... The Celestial... Ever heard of him?"
Levi froze for a split second at the curveball, but he was already prepared for this. He imdiately shook his head with a serene smile. "Oh... my apologies, but I am not very involved with the Nocturnal Ring.... I don’t even have a profile in it."
Hearing this, Gamaster Envy stared at his expression in silence. Since the ga had ended, his omnipotence over Levi had expired. This ant he couldn’t check for sure if Levi was lying without abusing his authority.
"You should look him up... his weapon is similar to yours, and he also wields Aether, Illusion, lody, and Sound Aspects," Gamaster Envy added suddenly. "Now that I think about it, he erged around the sa ti you popped up..."
"Is that so? Is he any good?" Levi raised a brow in surprise. "It certainly is an amazing coincidence. Thanks for the heads up; I’ll check him out to see if I can learn a thing or two."
Levi maintained his ignorance without skipping a beat. He always knew that the similarities between him and his alter ego were bound to raise alarms as he exposed himself in more gas.
Remaining hidden forever was never a possibility unless he had never joined the gas using his real persona; still, he had an ace in his pocket to kill off suspicion.
"Coincidence... huh."
Gamaster Envy thought about it for a mont and then shook his head after rechecking Levi’s contractual unique ID; it wasn’t even close to the Celestial’s Unique ID.
Since it was a known fact that each serial code was based on a Seed, everyone would assu Levi and the Celestial were two different entities sharing similarities, rather than accept that they were the sa person with two unique seeds.
"Is that all? My friends are waiting for ," Levi asked.
"Begone..."
Gamaster Envy waved his hand dismissively and watched Levi disappear into the portal. Even after he was gone, Envy’s eyes never left the spot.
’My Lord has approved to protect about eight powers and mutations involving this kid... I may not know what they are, but I know exactly what the Celestial isn’t hiding.’ Gamaster Envy narrowed his eyes deeply, still not letting the matter go.
Although he knew it shouldn’t be possible for Levi to own more than one seed and sign up on both platforms, when it ca to the Celestial, nothing was impossible.
"There are already a few similarities... I just need to keep an eye on these two," Gamaster Envy murmured under his breath. "One of them is bound to slip up and share an irreparable clue if they are truly the sa person."
While it was impossible to own more than one seed in the eyes of the public, the Gamasters weren’t commoners. As immortal beings with imnse knowledge and omnipotence inside the Boundless Expanse, they knew that owning more than one seed was possible as a theory.
Though the idea that Levi... a re human... could do it seed impossible in his eyes.
"Ti will tell..." Gamaster Envy’s lips curved into a faint smirk as he gazed at the two silent giants. "Oh, how I wish it were real... I’m quite eager for so fun chaos to bless the Chained Universe."
Gamaster Envy didn’t take such a na for no reason; he genuinely envied anyone with the ability to leave the Boundless Expanse.
Since he couldn’t forsake his duties, he wished nothing but chaos on everyone living outside.
It was a hateful wish, but he couldn’t care less.
He was a Gamaster, and they could afford to be dickheads since no one could touch them in their realm.
