In the face of absolute power, genjutsu and control may not be effective.
(Actually, most Dragon Ball characters have very low magic resistance. Genjutsu of the Kotoamatsukami level and the rule power of Shadow Control would definitely be effective against Kakarot and others. It's hard to say about these cosmic powerhouses who can easily destroy heaven and earth, yet get injured by a pistol.)
"I wonder which version of Kakarot this is…"
"Forget it, the best strategy is to run away. There's no need to fight to the death with a character from a character card."
Naruto was about to turn and leave when a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him.
He took a deep breath, not activating his Chakra, but instead bringing up the Underground City shop pop-up. Using the exchange coupons he earned from completing missions, he redeemed the divine artifact he had wanted to exchange for ever since entering the Goblin Slayer World—the dice of the gods!
"Exchange for a red-quality item—"
Naruto's voice was calm but held an undeniable power, as if it penetrated the dimensional barrier, echoing clearly in the ears of those "god players": "dice of the gods!"
"Boom!"
A massive amount of exchange coupons instantly dwindled, transforming into a stream of light and vanishing.
The next moment, an ancient, enormous dice, its surface covered with countless profound runes and emanating an indescribable aura of destiny, appeared out of thin air in Naruto's hand, slowly rotating.
Each pip of the dice seemed to be a microcosm of a world.
"What?! The dice of the gods?!"
"Isn't that an item only we players can use? How can he, an NPC—no, a character from an inserted card—have exchange coupons to get that?!"
The man with dirty dreadlocks exclaimed in shock, his eyes nearly popping out.
The other players gathered around the table were all dumbfounded, staring blankly at the screen on the table.
The main way they played this board game was by rolling dice, comparing the results to determine wins and losses, and then deciding the direction of events to achieve ultimate victory.
Why did an anime character, who should be under their control, possess a dice that only players had?
"The dice of the gods, I finally have it."
"Since that's the case—"
Naruto held the dice, looked up, his gaze seeming to penetrate the void, directly meeting the angry and astonished "god players."
"Oh, you 'gods' high above!" Naruto's voice carried a hint of mockery, "You like to roll dice to decide the fate of all beings, you like to treat this world as a playground."
"Then, do you dare to gamble with me, this 'NPC'?"
He held up the heavy dice, which seemed to contain the weight of the entire world.
"Let's gamble on this dice of the gods, plus my eternal banishment from this world, never to return!"
"The rules are simple! You can try to interfere again, and you can even personally intervene! But if you cannot, within one hour, by any means, including but not limited to direct deletion, divine punishment, or sending characters from other worlds to expel or eliminate me—" Naruto's eyes sharpened, his voice resolute:
"Then, from now on, you 'gods' shall no longer, directly or indirectly, interfere with the operation of this world! You shall no longer impose your perverse tastes on the beings of this world! Let this world achieve true freedom!"
"And the stakes—" Naruto paused, speaking emphatically: "Are your 'administrator permissions' over this world!"
Silence.
A deathly silence spread in the real world.
Naruto's words, conveyed through text and voice on the desktop screen pop-up, were relayed to the board game players.
Several players looked at each other, their faces filled with absurdity, shock, and a hint of provoked anger.
An NPC—using an item that only players should possess—was challenging them, the real players, the "masters" and "administrators" of the game world—to a gamble?
And the stakes were their GM permissions?!
This was a complete subversion of their understanding!
"FUCK…"
"What kind of malicious bug is this? This Uzumaki Naruto character from Naruto is absolutely insane."
The man with dirty dreadlocks gritted his teeth, his dark face alternating between green and pale.
Refuse?
Wouldn't that make them seem afraid of an NPC?
Accept?
What if… what if it actually…
"Ridiculous, I, a real player, gambling with a bug in the game? What a joke."
"There must be something wrong with the game's AI."
The man with dirty dreadlocks ultimately chose not to gamble.
Unfortunately.
Once the dice of the gods is thrown, it has the effect of invariably pulling the target into a gamble.
The outcome is random, but the gamble is definitely established; there's no escaping it.
"I want to gamble with the Awakened God!"
Naruto shouted, throwing the twelve-sided dice in his hand. The slowly rotating dice of the gods emitted an alluring yet dangerous light, representing absolute "fairness" and "the supremacy of rules."
Once the gamble was established, even they, the "players," could not defy the outcome decided by the dice.
"Rumble…"
The sound of the dice rolling echoed in the ears of every player.
On the desktop screen, a rolling dice pattern appeared.
At the same time.
The player whose identity was set as the "Awakened God," who also happened to be the man with dirty dreadlocks, saw a pop-up appear on his desktop:
[Gamble Established]
[Gambling Parties: Uzumaki Naruto VS Awakened God]
[Individual Stakes: Uzumaki Naruto—loses the red-quality item dice of the gods, is eternally banished from the Goblin Slayer World; Awakened God—all authority of the Awakened God]
[Gamble Content: Compare dice roll values]
"How could this happen?"
"All authority? Doesn't that mean I won't be able to play this game anymore?!"
The man with dirty dreadlocks stumbled back a step, his pupils constricted, reflecting the screen's light, his face filled with disbelief and fury.
"I won't roll!"
The man with dirty dreadlocks cursed repeatedly, shaking his head in refusal.
Unfortunately, the gamble was established, and the man with dirty dreadlocks could not renege.
[If player 'Awakened God' does not roll the dice within 100 seconds, the game will automatically roll the dice for him.]
Then a red digital countdown appeared in the pop-up.
The dice Naruto had thrown was still spinning, as if it wouldn't stop until the Awakened God rolled his dice.
"The stakes seem a little different from what I said. Is it unreasonable?"
Naruto stood on the Green Moon, looking at the pop-up that had also appeared before him.
He had hoped that the players outside the game would not interfere with the Goblin Slayer World, but that was clearly impossible. The adjusted stakes had become the authority of the Awakened God, which meant player permissions.
"Since that's the case, then it will be the Awakened God's player permissions."
Naruto nodded, secretly taking out the smiling face coin he had picked up at the Tanzaku Street casino from his item bar, gripping it tightly in his hand.
With his strong luck blessing, plus the effect of the smiling face coin.
This round, he couldn't lose!
After his face changed between shades of gloom and brightness, the man with dirty dreadlocks still chose to roll the dice.
