Chapter 1146 - Magic G.o.ddess
[I am going there immediately. No! Call Anna and Jeanne immediately.]
Lin Xingzhi panicked because she knew that this clash would be inevitable. Even she couldn"t predict if a G.o.d King would show up in this world.
"Are you trying to destroy the people in this world too?!"
"Too? What the heck? I"m here just for a treasure." Alex thought that the best way to buy time was to keep her thinking instead of fighting. He might have the power to kill a Rank 2 G.o.d, but it didn"t mean that he was strong enough to fight a G.o.d King.
Hence, his obvious course of action was just blurted his intention out so as to convince the Magic G.o.ddess.
"A treasure? What kind of treasure do you want?"
"I don"t know, that"s why I"m going to this city."
"You are just trying to scout this city before destroying it, right?!"
"The image of me in your head is your own fault. I have no intention to do such a thing. Do you think this city or this planet is my enemy?!" Alex shouted back before five magic circles, different from Arrays, appeared out of nowhere.
"I will capture you first to see your real intention!" The Magic G.o.ddess slightly waved down her wand. "Five Great Stars Magic."
Alex clicked his tongue and raised his hand, creating a small barrier with his s.p.a.ce Element. The moment something emerged from the Magic Circles, they were deflected to another direction, missing him completely.
"s.p.a.ce Element?"
Boom.
All of them hit the ground simultaneously as the dust kicked up, giving Alex time.
"Since you left the alliance, why do you still attack me? If you think I don"t dare to fight you, you are wrong!" Alex used that chance and took out Anna and Jeanne"s cards as he summoned both of them.
"!!!" The Magic G.o.ddess seemed to sense something and quickly raised her wand to create another magic circle in front of her.
Anna emerged from the smoke with her scythe. "Uncovered Darkness."
Black energy started covering her scythe as she struck the Magic Circle. The Darkness Energy began to spread on the Magic Circle before breaking it.
"G.o.d King? No!" Before she could even a.n.a.lyze Anna, she swung her staff to the right where Jeanne appeared, swinging both of her short swords.
"Queen Anna." Jeanne smiled as she had bought enough time for Anna.
Anna nodded her head with a serious expression as darkness began to cover her body. "True Spirit Body, Dark b.u.t.terfly Spirit."
The energy dispersed at once as her dress began to change along with the appearance of her wings.
She headed straight to the Magic G.o.ddess, only to find that multiple Magic Circles appeared above her.
At the same time, Jeanne took a step back as she changed as well, revealing her new lightning called Blood Lightning. "True Spirit Body, Ethereal Lightning Form."
"Two G.o.d Kings? The first one is his wife, but who is the second one?!" The Magic G.o.ddess was completely stupefied by this situation. She thought that she would be able to capture Alex but to think he actually traveled with two G.o.d Kings. It was beyond her imagination, especially with the appearance of Alaya on the last battlefield as well as Lin Xingzhi.
There was a chance that Eulja hosted more than four G.o.d Kings at once, becoming the strongest Divine World in history.
Knowing that defeat was inevitable, the Magic G.o.ddess became mellowed a bit and asked, "Ehm? Can we talk right now?"
"What did you say earlier? Didn"t you want to capture me so we can talk?" Alex narrowed his eyes, releasing his killing intent.
The Magic G.o.ddess gulped down as she made a weird smile while fending off Anna and Jeanne"s attacks. "I"m sorry. I didn"t know your intention earlier. But considering you traveled with two G.o.d Kings, you shouldn"t come to destroy this planet."
"Anna, capture her for me." Alex snorted and ignored her pleas before turning to Jeanne. "I will let you handle her a bit, Jeanne."
"Ah! That"s great news to my ears, Master. I have never tortured a G.o.d King, so I"m curious what kind of thing I will face when I torture a G.o.d King." Jeanne made a sinister laugh, showing how excited she was.
The Magic G.o.ddess"s face became pale as she hurriedly explained. "Spirit G.o.d. Please, let"s talk about it. I can give you treasures if you want. Let"s talk a bit, shall we? If I can"t do anything for you, we can fight it out again. You are just bullying a magical girl like me!"
"…" Alex was shocked by her last sentence, never expecting someone would call herself a magical girl, let alone a G.o.d King, known as Magic G.o.ddess. However, he wasn"t convinced yet since he attacked him out of nowhere.
"Come on!" The Magic G.o.ddess knew that sooner or later, Jeanne and Anna would start getting the advantage. At the same time, Alex would surely prevent her from escaping through Teleportation Array Plates. The only way she could escape from this situation was through negotiation.
Hence, she changed the terms and shouted. "If you kill me right now, your reputation will be destroyed again. I know that you are using all those people to fight your so-called enemies. Don"t you think it"s best to resolve this peacefully?"
"So you can kill me, but I can"t kill you?" Alex harrumphed as his killing intent soared.
"No, no. I can compensate you, alright? I have heard the information from the Holy G.o.d after leaving the alliance. How about I help you fight your enemies and give you some treasures? I can promise you with Universe Oath to do something like this since it won"t be that long anymore, right?"
"Ho?!" Alex narrowed his eyes and said with a cold tone. "And do you think it"s enough?"
"You are extorting me at this point. That"s right. I have another piece of information for you. Someone met me long ago, offering me power. I have seen his true appearance with my Magic Eyes like how I saw through yours. I will tell you anything I know about that guy if you agree. If you keep doing this, I better commit suicide and blame everything on you!" The Magic G.o.ddess shouted.
Alex contemplated for a moment as the term wasn"t that bad.
However, the Magic G.o.ddess misunderstood that gesture as him feeling it wasn"t enough. She suddenly added another thing. "That"s right. How about a one-night stand? I can do it with you as a bonus."
"Alright, Jeanne, Anna." Alex suddenly called both of their names as the Magic G.o.ddess thought that this negotiation was successful.
Unfortunately for her, that was the only thing Alex hated, so he said, "Kill her."
"Wait, what?! Did I say something wrong?" She panicked and uttered a question. "I am the one and only Magical Girl, you know!"
"You should know about your opponent first before the negotiation."
"Then what do you want? You can add one thing that you want." The Magic G.o.ddess became more and more frustrated since she had begun to lose her ground.
Alex also knew that the Magic G.o.ddess was about to explode and if she truly used all her power in this world, there was a chance that his location would be exposed and his hidden plan for this war was disrupted. Hence, he called the two again. "Anna, Jeanne, stop."
Anna and Jeanne followed his order and stopped right in front of her, ready to swing their blade at any moment.
The Magic G.o.ddess let out a sigh of relief as she thought she managed to convince him.
"First of all, I want to ask one question."
"Yes, yes. Just ask me anything other than the agreement." She hurriedly nodded.
"Why did you join the alliance back then?"
"Magical Girl is supposed to beat the bad guy, right? I"m there to do something like that because of the Holy G.o.d"s invitation. If not, I would have stayed at home." She answered him with an innocent face as if she truly believed that way.
"So, I am the bad guy…" Alex narrowed his eyes.
"Was… was…" She quickly corrected his statement while sweating.
"You"re narrow-minded. Now I"m wondering whether I should agree to your condition or just kill you right now." Alex shook his head helplessly.
"What do you mean narrow-minded? Although that was the main reason, I had calculated the pros and cons before coming to that decision."
"Whatever…" Alex shrugged. "As long as you can do something, you"re not useless."
"The Universe Oath will prevent you from telling any lies and become my subordinate until I kill my enemy. If you agree to it, I will give you an explanation about why I"m so desperate to fight this enemy though I"m sure you have already gotten the gist of it from the rumor. That"s my request. The time will probably be less than fifty years as of now, so I"m sure it"s not that long."
The Magic G.o.ddess contemplated the terms and set a few conditions as well. "First… I will fight alongside you as your subordinate, but I won"t do anything other than that. If something possesses too much risk for me, I have the right to escape.
"Second, after everything is fulfilled, you can"t kill the people of my territory or me. Lastly, I want to know the potential of success in this war."
Alex nodded in agreement. "Fine. It"s not like I will use you other than in the war. However, just so you know that if you escape from the war, there is a chance that this Universe will be destroyed. Even if it"s not, you will be condemned by my allies and will live as a deserter.
"As for the second term, I wouldn"t care about anything after that point. As long as you don"t offend me, I will not touch you or your people. That"s the additional condition for your second condition. The last one… I will share a bit of the plan with you, but not everything because I can"t see you as an ally like the Holy G.o.d and the others yet."
"I understand." The Magic G.o.ddess nodded with a serious expression. She knew that this was the best solution other than her dying in his hand along with the potential of destruction.
"Before that… Do you know what happened to the alliance after that?"
She thought for a moment and shook her head. "I don"t have much information. I don"t see the G.o.ddess of Destiny and G.o.d of Wrath in their territory, so I am a.s.suming something big was going on. There was a possibility of them getting into something they couldn"t escape. In other words, they were suspicious."
"Since you are smart enough to understand that, let"s finalize the agreement." Alex raised his hand and swore. "I, Alexander Sirius, swear in front of Heaven and Earth that I will abuse the Magic G.o.ddess like a slave, won"t touch her or her people unless they offend me first, and will tell a bit of my plan without lying."
Seeing that Alex initiated the Universe Oath, she raised her hand and followed suit. "I, Rubia Viest, swear in front of Heaven and Earth that I will follow Alexander Sirius like a subordinate in this war to protect this universe. At the same time, I won"t attack him or bring him any harm directly or indirectly during this war.
"I will also share all the information I have with him truthfully and give him some treasures to compensate for my previous action. This promise will only be valid in the time of war to protect the universe."
Alex nodded and said, "Alright. Since that"s the case, you better give me the information first."
"I think we should change places first." The Magic G.o.ddess smiled and looked at the area, knowing that the experts from the city would come here soon. "Ah, we can discuss this in the city. I know a place there since I am a regular here."
Alex agreed to her promise and waved his hand, telling Anna and Jeanne to return to Eulja. He just wanted to show her that there were two G.o.d Kings that would come for her life if she did anything funny.
Rubia intentionally ignored it and led him to the city.
