Reborn with Infinity Skill Points, I Enslaved All Universes-Chapter 90 --Questioning Life

"Continuing the wager... isn’t out of the question."

Daniel’s tone remained calm as ever, but a subtle shift in his demeanor followed as he added,

"However... I insist on making the next guess. After all, your knowledge of the Abyss far exceeds mine."

Upon seeing Daniel give in to temptation and agree to keep gambling, Sarko’s face lit up with excitement.

"Human, you truly are a bold one!" he exclaimed.

"If everyone in this world were as fearless and straightforward as you, wouldn’t it be so much more entertaining?"

Daniel gave a faint smile, ignoring Sarko’s flattery entirely, and casually said,

"My guess is... abyssal locust."

...

Time passed.

And this time, it seemed Lady Luck smiled upon Daniel.

A moment later, the dark energy in the air swirled and converged, forming a creature.

Its information appeared clearly before Daniel’s eyes:

[Abyssal Locust]

Sarko’s smile remained undisturbed, as though he hadn’t suffered any loss at all.

"Human, do you wish to continue?" he asked smoothly.

"25,000 Abyssal Cores. If you win, I’ll give you 30,000."

Truth be told, Sarko wasn’t bothered by Daniel’s second consecutive win.

Even from a purely statistical perspective, Daniel had only a 25% chance of success. Two lucky guesses weren’t a threat.

Even if Daniel somehow won dozens of times in a row, Sarko wouldn’t truly care.

In fact, the more Daniel won, the more exhilarated Sarko became.

Because the more Daniel gained, the more crushing the despair would be when he lost it all.

And that—that abyssal despair—was what Sarko craved most.

From the ruin of others, he derived immense satisfaction... and power.

If it came down to combat, Sarko suspected he might not be a match for this human.

So instead, he opted for schemes—for a gamble that would strip his opponent bare, bit by bit, until he lost everything.

All living creatures harbored greed within.

Sarko’s plan was simple: lure the human deeper and deeper into the game, until his inevitable fall.

Daniel, facing Sarko’s new offer, responded with only a slight smile. His expression remained unchanged.

"I have no objections. Let’s continue."

"My guess is the next creature to spawn will be... an abyssal locust."

A few seconds passed. The darkness ahead began to stir once more...

And a familiar figure took form—a Gigabone Fish.

Sarko’s grin twisted into a wicked sneer as he stepped forward to claim his winnings.

But before he could open his mouth, Daniel activated [Time Stream] again.

In a blink, time reversed.

Daniel stood once more at the moment just before he made his guess.

This time, he calmly declared,

"My guess is abyssal Gigabone Fish."

Sure enough, the same Gigabone Fish spawned in front of them.

With this, Daniel had successfully guessed correctly three times in a row.

Sarko’s expression twitched. A subtle frown formed on his face.

He hadn’t expected Daniel’s luck to hold this long.

Even so, he told himself it didn’t matter. Luck was fleeting. Eventually, Daniel would lose.

Still... unconsciously, Sarko clenched his fists.

As if responding to the rising tension, the area where the next abyssal creature was supposed to spawn twisted strangely—

the dark energy compressed into a tiny pinpoint of light... and vanished.

[Annihilation: Low-Tier Monster Instant Kill]

[Effect: Instantly obliterate any regular monster under level 100.]

...

To be honest, Sarko could cheat, if he really wanted to.

For instance, he had just used a hidden skill that let him secretly eliminate the creature that was about to appear.

Why? Merely to vent his frustration.

After releasing that pent-up irritation, he turned to Daniel with a smile.

"If you don’t mind, shall we continue?"

Daniel agreed, and they signed another contract for the next round.

This time, the stakes were even higher—55,000 Abyssal Cores against 65,000.

Daniel ran a quick mental calculation. If he won this one, and added it to what remained in the human treasury,

then the mission would be as good as complete.

"I guess the next monster... will be an abyssal locust."

His voice remained calm and steady.

Moments later, the energy in the distance began to coalesce once more.

But Daniel’s luck seemed to falter—what emerged was yet another Gigabone Fish.

Still, this didn’t faze him in the slightest.

With a practiced flick, he activated [Time Stream] once more.

Time rewound.

Daniel calmly guessed the correct answer this time: "Gigabone Fish."

And just like before, he won again.

Sarko stood silently by the side, eyes twitching ever so slightly.

His calm demeanor was beginning to crack.

He couldn’t believe this human could be this lucky.

He was growing increasingly frustrated. After all, a single Abyssal Core mine only produced around 100,000 cores in total.

But now?

He had already lost well over half that—just like that.

No. This couldn’t be luck. Could it?

Could Daniel’s Luck stat be ridiculously high? Bordering on the absurd?

If not, then how had he won every single round so far?

Sarko spiraled into self-doubt. He simply couldn’t understand how Daniel was doing this.

He had full confidence in his own strength.

Unless his opponent was a true deity, there was no way anyone could manipulate the outcome of the bet undetected.

And yet—he had sensed nothing.

Which only left one explanation: Daniel wasn’t cheating. He just had absurdly good luck.

Sarko considered, briefly, whether Daniel might actually be a true god.

But he quickly dismissed that notion.

If the person standing before him were a god, what would be the point of a wager?

Why not simply take what he wanted by force?

Would he really bother gambling over Abyssal Cores?

Of course not.

The fact that Daniel hadn’t taken any violent action meant he wasn’t confident he could defeat Sarko without cost.

That alone was proof enough.

No, this was no god—just an insanely lucky human.

Still, that luck was real... and annoying.

Sarko clenched his jaw in frustration. But soon, he began to calm himself.

Luck couldn’t last forever. It never did.

The higher Daniel climbed, the harder he would fall.

And when that moment came, the agony of loss would be immeasurable.

Sarko smiled again.

Once Daniel finally lost, Sarko would claim not only his chips—but his Luck as well.

Unlike others, Sarko had the ability to see his own Luck stat.

And his was an impressive 9.

It was because of this immense Luck stat that Sarko never felt the need to cheat in games of chance.

After all... who would cheat when they had 9 points of pure luck?
