Chapter 18 Settling the Millenniums Old Bet

"Want to go for another round? The bet is still around~" (Sei)
"Hah, wouldn't it still be a draw thought? We been fighting for literally millenniums for that bet. And every single one of them was a draw." (Lei)
"Hmm, how about we settle this once and for all?" (Sei)
"I'd want it to end, but how are we exactly going to do that?" (Lei)
"Heh." (Sei)
"..." (Lei)
"...Rock Paper Scissors!" (Sei)
"..." (Lei)
"Are you serious?" (Lei)
"How am I not serious? But it isn't just any normal rock paper scissors match. Were going to use our energy on the objects and fight it out. Even if we pick the same thing, it'd just be a fight between your mana and my Qi. Remember, we're going to make an artifact at what we pick. And then when fighting, we are not allowed to use energy from our body, just the energy on the artifact. But we must only give it a single blessing. No more, no less. Oh, and we can only have one turn. Either attack or defend with a single technique. If you can't defend, you lose, if you fail to attack, you lose. If we attack and it cancels out each other, it's a draw." (Sei)
“That level of detailed planning was what I was not expecting. Last time I saw that was when you had AI plugged in your brain.” (Lei)
"Well, okay... Bring it on! So do we have the materials?" (Lei)
"Uh… no." (Sei)
Sei stared at Lei for a few seconds until Lei got the signal.
"... Okay I'll make it." (Lei)
"Nice! I'll just... wait here until you finish making it. By the way it'll be 2 out of 3 wins, okay?" (Sei)
"All right! Just a second... Creation Magic, God's Hand." (Lei)
[Creation Magic: God's Hand]
A divine force synthesized from Lei's words. As if God has waved his hand to create the Earth and life, Lei created... 6 rocks, 6 piece of papers, and... 6 scissors.
...
...
"Hoooh, done. Now we can settle this millennium old bet once and for all." (Lei)
"All right, round one!" (Sei)
"Rock..." (Sei)
"Rock..." (Lei)
"Paper..." (Sei)
"Paper..." (Lei)
"Scissors..." (Sei)
"Scissors..." (Lei)
"Shoot!" (Sei)
"Shoot!" (Lei)
"Paper!! Take the form of a sword that will pierce through the challenges that face me... Gift of Sage's Heavenly Qi..." (Sei)
[Gift of Sage's Heavenly Qi]
"Scissors!! I grant you the authority of the Thunder God, become the staff that will bring thunders down from the skies! Thunder God's Blessing!"
[Thunder God's Blessing]
"Let's get into the fight shall we?" (Seiya)
"Yeah... Staff of the Heavenly Thunder!" (Lei)
"Let's go, Sword of the World Tree!" (Sei)
"Haaa! Slash of the Unknown!" (Sei)
[Slash of the Unknown]
From the paper sword, Seiya let out a slash that came from the very roots of the abyss. Slicing the very foundation of the Timeless Domain like butter.
"Thunder's Roar!"
[Thunder's Roar]
From the skies of the Timeless Domain, a cloud had descended covering it entirely. With it's thunder's roar, the Timeless Domain was shaken, but it wasn't enough to stop Sei's sword.
...
...
...
"Tch, you win..." (Lei)
"Yes! I won this round! One more and I will finally win the bet!" (Sei)
"Now, again!" (Sei)
"For round two, go!" (Lei)
"Rock..." (Sei)
"Rock..." (Lei)
"Paper..." (Sei)
"Paper..." (Lei)
"Scissors..." (Sei)
"Scissors..." (Lei)
"Shoot!" (Sei)
"Shoot!" (Lei)
"Scissors! Steel that has run through my heart, you shall be transformed into the Sage's art... Heavenly Sage's Arts... Blood's Edge." (Sei)
[Blood's Edge]
"Rock... With the mighty stones that came from above the skies, to incur my wrath you'll pay the price... Meteorite's Wrath." (Lei)
[Meteorite's Wrath]
"Blood's Edge... Abyssal Strike." (Sei)
[Abyssal Strike]
As a rain of meteorites rushed to Sei, the sword glowed crimson red. A crack in the Timeless Domain has opened, pouring out the blood of Abyss itself into the sword. He then waved the sword towards the meteorites. He then realized the meteorites aren't normal ones. It was a meteorite speeding up, and reached the speed of light.
"I should've used Gift of Qi again. Relying on an art for decoration certainly isn't going to work. I lose, I was goofing around." (Sei)
"All right!" (Lei)
"Oh, the meteorites, right. Sage's Palm." (Sei)
In the span of milliseconds, the meteorites going at the speed of light vanished to the void like nothing.
"It's a tie, again. Let's get this over with."
"Rock..." (Sei)
"Rock..." (Lei)
"Paper..." (Sei)
"Paper..." (Lei)
"Scissors..." (Sei)
"Scissors..." (Lei)
"Shoot!" (Sei)
"Shoot!" (Lei)
"Rock! This is the final round I may go all out as well... I'm going to use my Breath of Qi and compress it in the stone. Huff..." (Sei)
[Breath of Qi]
"Hey, Seiya! Don't do that, even just spreading out your Qi from your body shakes the Timeless Domain. You must not compress it in the stone, you mustn't!" (Lei)
[Soul Chains, Thorns of Athena]
"Too late- AHH! Ouch that hurt." (Sei)
"Disqualified! You must not destroy this dimension. It's the only way we can have contact to the past. We'd most certainly disappear like the future world even with our newfound powers if this breaks." (Lei)
"... I'm sorry, I've gone too far this time. I will not repeat the mistake again." (Sei)
“Well then, shall we get to the bet we made millenniums ago?" (Lei)
"... Fine." (Sei)
"Hey kids, come here for a second." (Lei)
Lei snapped her fingers and the consciousness of Alice and Seiya were summoned immediately. Lei explained about the millenniums old bet and the reward for the winner.
"Well, do you agree with the reward for me?" (Lei)
"Yeah." (Seiya)
"Why not?" (Alice)
"Oh, when we're lending you our powers, make sure to try not to destroy the dimension. Unlike someone here. You might just disappear with it." (Lei)
"..." (Seiya)
"..." (Alice)
