Chapter 395: Competition in Progress

~9 min read 1,700 words

"Do you have any way to manipulate this competition?"

In the luxury box, a man with a jade ring, short hair, and a gray suit asked Ye Nan.

"There is no way." Ye Nan spread his hands, indicating that he had no way to manipulate this competition. Yes, he really had no way to manipulate this competition. Whether it was Superman or The Flash, their speed was too fast, and wanting to manipulate it was simply impossible. As for other aspects.

Ye Nan turned his gaze, and on the screen, Superman and The Flash had arrived at the walking point. The originally rapid figures also suddenly stopped. On the screen, they were like people who suddenly appeared.

"From the picture, the speed of Superman and The Flash is evenly matched." Ye Nan said softly.

"Can't manipulate the competition, but what if we lose?" The man in the suit said angrily: "For this gambling, I used odds of 1.9 to attract the audience, which means my profit will be weakened to the minimum, and this is a large sum of money."

"Your gambling has nothing to do with me." Ye Nan glanced at him and walked straight out of the box, while secretly saying in his heart: "What kind of thing, really treating me as your subordinate."

"Arrogant little thing." The man in the suit saw Ye Nan ignoring him and not caring about him at all, and immediately became angry.

Although the odds of the gambling industry are carefully prepared by digital experts, theoretically, it is a sure win, but many people bet on Superman to win, coupled with his perceived adjustment of the odds, leading to the fact that if The Flash loses, he will lose a large sum of money, and may even go bankrupt.

"But if The Flash wins, then... hehe, fortunately I have prepared for it."

Coming out of the box, Ye Nan's face immediately became sunny. He walked into his own box, sat on a stool, picked up the Unicorn, and looked at the empty seat left by Ripley, who didn't know where she had slipped off to again. He said softly: "This game is getting more and more interesting."

Not only him, but Lex, and even people in the gambling industry had made corresponding arrangements. So many people were targeting Superman together. Even if he didn't die, he would have to peel off a layer of skin.

"What's the matter, so happy?" The Unicorn lay affectionately on Ye Nan's lap, looking very much like she was enjoying it.

"Of course I'm happy. Look, on the arms of Superman and The Flash." Ye Nan pointed to a large screen and said. On the screen were Superman and The Flash, but the difference was that there were two black rings on their arms.

"The host seems to have introduced that this thing is for tracking. It can determine that The Flash and Superman did not take a shortcut."

"Yes, it is for tracking. But it also has another function, which is to collect energy." Ye Nan said to himself: "Whether it is Superman or The Flash, when they move faster than light, they will involuntarily release energy, and after this energy is collected by the ring, it will be transmitted to the instrument. This instrument is enough to change the weather."

"Change the weather? Can human power do it?" The Unicorn murmured, still unwilling to believe it.

She still remembered that when she had just left, humans were still playthings of the gods. They worshipped the gods, entrusted everything to the gods, and looked like lambs. But after a thousand years, these lambs occupied a large piece of land, and it seemed that they were the masters of this world. The gods could no longer control them. But no matter what, she did not believe that the power that only gods could have would be possessed by ordinary mortals.

"Gods are just slightly more powerful super-powered people. You say, among your gods, who can have the speed of Superman and The Flash?" Ye Nan asked casually, without the slightest respect for the so-called gods in his words, and even with a hint of contempt.

Yes, contempt. Before, in his heart, gods should be supreme, they should be respected. But reality gave Ye Nan a blow to the head. He knew that the so-called gods were simply a group of trash that couldn't even compare to Superman. After that, he had no good feelings for these gods, and even hated them. So for them, Ye Nan held a hateful attitude, because he felt that these gods had tarnished the gods in his heart.

"Don't look down on the gods, be careful to bring down divine punishment." The Unicorn said worriedly, "I feel that the Olympian gods are about to wake up from the twilight."

Just beginning, she didn't know if this world was the world she was familiar with, but after she felt the breath of the gods, she confirmed that this world was the world where she was born, but the changes were too great.

In just a few hundred years, not even a thousand years, it had become a sea of mulberry fields.

"The so-called divine punishment is just punishing ordinary people. No, it can't even punish ordinary people." Ye Nan sneered, "Now is the world of superheroes. With superheroes protecting the public, the so-called gods wanting to bring down punishment is no different from a fool's dream."

In all fairness, similarly powerful existences, in terms of treating the public, the gods who are high above and enjoy the worship of all living beings are obviously not as good as superheroes. Of course, mentality is also a problem. Gods enjoy rights without shouldering responsibilities, while superheroes shoulder responsibilities without enjoying rights.

"You say, if the awakened Olympian gods are discovered by the public that their strength is no different from Superman, and even weaker than superheroes, how do you think they will be treated by the public?" Ye Nan suddenly remembered an interesting thing and immediately laughed, "Hancock only destroyed some buildings and was rejected by the public, while the ancient gods manipulated humans to kill each other. Is this because the gods' methods are too clever, or are people too cheap?"

The so-called gods are just at the same level as superheroes, but humans worship the gods, handing over their bodies and even their souls to the gods, begging bitterly under the divine punishment and natural disasters that come down at every turn. But when they face superheroes, they show a kind of fearlessness, and even reject them, treating them as obstacles to human progress. I don't know if this should be praised or hated.

"No one can resist the Olympian gods. They hold the power, and can even turn the world upside down and bring down world-destroying disasters." The Unicorn looked like she had thought of something terrifying, and her whole fair horse face was terrified. "Those who resist the gods will never have a good end. Ye Nan, you must never resist the gods."

"I won't." Ye Nan shook his head, ignoring the Unicorn's fear. "The power of the Olympian gods is not as powerful as imagined, and I won't face the gods directly. The enemies of the gods are the superheroes who dare to challenge them."

The gods are licentious on Mount Olympus, manipulating mortals to attack—this is their pleasure. But this pleasure will definitely be obstructed by superheroes who love ordinary people, and this is the source of their conflict.

In many superhero movies, gods are just there to play soy sauce. But those familiar with Greek mythology know that the so-called gods are actually magnified versions of humans. They still have negative desires similar to humans, and even their negative desires are greater than humans. Just like Zeus, he is purely a stallion, sowing seeds everywhere.

"To be honest, I don't think highly of Olympus. No matter how powerful their strength is, they are at a disadvantage when facing superheroes led by Superman." Ye Nan said.

He didn't know how powerful Superman's power was, but as far as he knew, when Superman was at his strongest, he could push the moon and block the sun. Of course, even the current Superman, those so-called Olympian gods might not be able to defeat him. Otherwise, in the movies, they wouldn't have come out to play soy sauce.

"But..." The Unicorn stopped talking.

"Don't worry." Ye Nan comforted the Unicorn in turn. "The influence the Olympian gods have given you is too deep, so much so that you infinitely exaggerate their strength in your heart. But in reality, they are not as powerful as you imagine."

"Think about it, are there people in the Olympian gods who can run faster than light? Do they have people like Superman who, no matter what, cannot create wounds on their bodies? No, because the so-called gods are simply not as good as superheroes."

"Of course." Ye Nan's tone softened. "I know you are worried about me, afraid that I will die at the feet of the Olympian gods. But I promise you, I will not confront the Olympian gods when I don't have absolute certainty, at least not on the surface."

"Thank you." The Unicorn said softly.

"Haha." Ye Nan suddenly laughed loudly. "I lied to you. I never thought about confronting the Olympian gods at all. I was just belittling them. Come, let's watch the competition."

During the conversation between Ye Nan and the Unicorn, Superman and The Flash had already walked one Earth circle. They were still walking side by side. In fact, if it weren't for the existence of the walking points, they would probably have finished running.

"Your speed is not bad." The Flash said while running. He originally thought he could surpass Superman, but only then did he realize he seemed to have thought wrong. Superman's speed was not as slow as he thought, and at the same time, he himself was not as fast as he thought.

"But no matter what, we must decide the winner."

"Be careful."
