Chapter 861 Hook, Line and Sinker
" How did he do it? How did Shakuni break out of this prison? " Bavuma asked Drax as the old A.I. did not give Bavuma the answer he was seeking so easily.
" How do you think he did it? I'm not the God of Knowledge, you are, so you tell me, FOOL, BAHAHAHA " Drax mocked as he played his part in Max's plan perfectly.
If Max and Drax were to give Bavuma the solution to the problem so easily, he would be suspicious of their intentions, however, if they let him convince himself that he had found the right answer, he would end up digging his own grave.
" If you're so sure that I'm not capable of doing things that Shakuni can do then tell me the solution!
If I can't do it even after getting the solution, then I shall bark like a dog and admit to being inferior than him " Bavuma claimed as Drax stopped dancing like a monkey and pondered upon Bavuma's offer.
At this moment, Bavuma glanced at Max who appeared to be in deep thought as well as the bubble over his head read ' Should we tell him the solution? Brother could do it because he had the seed of chaos, Bavuma surely can't have the same sort of mastery over chaos as brother has can he?
In a way it's a risk letting him know how to break the prison, but on the other hand seeing him bark like a dog seems like an interesting prospect.
What should I do? '
Max deliberately formulated his thoughts in a way that Bavuma believed that he was genuinely thinking about his offer when he had already subtly given Bavuma all the hints that he needed.
Once Bavuma got the hint that Rudra achieved the feat of breaking this barrier using [ Chaos Energy ] by probably altering reality, he wondered if he should attempt doing the same?
It wasn't that Bavuma was not aware about the dangers of altering reality.
He knew it very well that altering reality could lead to Karmic Backlash if the object he was attempting to manipulate was of too much karmic importance, however, as he genuinely believed that Shakuni achieved the feat of breaking the barrier, he was under the false impression that Shakuni was able to withstand the backlash.
The entire scenario was crafted precisely.
Whether it was Drax's behaviour as a fool to taunt and gaud Bavuma's ego.
Whether it was Max manipulating what thoughts Bavuma would read from his mind.
Or whether it was the subtle idea of using chaos energy to break the barrier that Bavuma felt he thought off himself, the entire situation was stacked perfectly against him.
All that was left now was for Bavuma to attempt altering the barrier that was created with the cooperation and hardwork of thousands and thousands of Abyss mage researchers.
Hopefully, the karmic load of attempting such a feat would be enough to produce a HUGE backlash that he would not be able to survive from.

[ NOTICE - The Won Knight monarchy, in cooperation with The Hazelgroove Empire and the True Elites Kingdom proudly announce the 7th edition of the Tri-Monarchy games.

For the second phase, there will be youth fighting contests for Under30, Under50, Under100 and Open categories.
The minimum level to take part in this contest is at least tier4, while there is no upper cap.
The preliminaries will start simultaneously in all three monarchies from next month.
For phase 3, we will have…. ]
" A fighting contest? I'm definitely participating! " Kartikeya said as he voraciously ate the sumptuous breakfast prepared by the Rajput house staff.
Back at the isolated planet, Kartikeya often picked out the vegetables and helped his mother with cooking and dishes as he thought it was the normal thing to do.
However, only after arriving on Radiance did he realise that with the sort of wealth and influence his family wielded he could choose not to move a finger for the rest of his life and still manage to tour the entire universe VIP style.
" What's all the ruckus about in the morning? Who are you going to fight? " Jake said as he joined his brother on the dining table shamelessly stealing away his glass of orange juice.
" Oh brother, look this thing called a newspaper has some interesting things in it " Kartikeya said as he passed Jake the paper who read it intently as if it were a treasured piece of information.
" How interesting! There must be many strong fighters participating!
I'll win the under 30 while you go for the under 18- " Jake suggested as Kartikeya waved him off.
" I'm going for the open category, I'm not going to bully kids " Kartikeya said confidently as Jake burst out laughing.
Initially, Jake had been worried that upon reuniting with society, Kartikeya would be bullied for his attitude and would somehow lose his innocence.
Now however, he was assured that Kartikeya's mischief and his innocence were going to become a menace for others in the universe, but there was no damn individual who was going to bully his brother.
" Fighting is so for brutes, attending auctions is for gentlemen- " Amy said as she walked into the dining room holding countless shopping bags.
" Oh sister! You're coming back from the auction only in the morning? Did it go on for the entire night? " Kartikeya inquired as he remembered his sister attending the latest seven galaxy bank auction as a VVIP++ member yesterday night.
Given the same prestige and care as a monarch, she was given the royal treatment by the bank officials.
" The auction was amazing! No matter which item I bid for nobody else dared to place a second bid even if it was cheap.
I had to end up paying the auction house extra money at the end because I felt so bad for them.
Our dad is really amazing! Nobody dares to cross him " Amy said as both Jake and Kartikeya ignored her words completely.
To the boys things like auctions did not matter at all and they weren't the least bit interested in how Amy thought it went.
Nonetheless, the family shared a wholesome breakfast as they talked about the wonders of the controlled universe.
