YM778.TV Chapter 396 Deal... And Release.
-Gruuugruuu!!!
Black lightning, successive earthquakes to unbelieving magnitudes,
And finally...
Billions of glances turned on the sky with different thoughts from one individual to another. But hope was the most widespread feeling in the crowd.
The hope of seeing comrades of war emerge from nowhere, seeing a father, a sister/brother walk out of the kingdoms of the dead and appear before them, and finally, seeing all the sorrow vanish as if it were only a bad nightmare.
All these emotions could be felt by Alvine, who performed a large-scale spell.
Gradually, his silhouette floats out of the castle through the hole he had created above the throne room.
When the others have seen his gargantuan size and demonic appearance, pure fear arises in the depths of their souls. But the more this fear intensified, the greater their hopes.
Following Alvine\'s appearance, Zakiel and the two generals knelt, followed by their subordinates. Seeing this, residents, still in their cities covered with a transparent barrier that sparkles slightly, also kneeling.
Yasmine and Feyre, reluctant at first, had no choice but to recognize Alvine\'s superiority. All arrogance was insignificant, and all pride was in vain against Alvine.
They also kneel after a deep sigh.
--
At the same time, the night sky lights up with a dazzling and peaceful light that completely contradicts the nature of the planet.
Simultaneously, a black portal, linked to the other end of the planet, appeared in front of Alvine.
-GROAAARR!!
As soon as Alvine established the foggy portal, beasts shrill roars emerged inside his portal.
Anyone could guess that, just by hearing the terrifying screams, the monsters about to go out of the portal would not be cake. But Alvine\'s smile was disdainful.
He waved his hand, and three of his clones appeared before him. They had the same appearance as his God of Slaughter\'s shape.
Then, they vanished after crossing the portal.
\'My old self would simply have taken what he wanted by force. But acting like him would contradict my current principles.\' He whispers in his mind and closes the portal, and opens another.
But the pure white aura that emanated from the portal was more threatening than that of the previous portal.
**I\'m releasing you to join your other party. But I have only one condition.** Alvine\'s telepathic words rumble inside the portal.
The portal led to the deepest place in its castle, the last basement.
The place where the other half of Reha\'s soul was sealed.
*... *
Remarking her silence, which showed her distrust, Alvine had a big and dangerous smile on his lips.
**In the end, whether the deal suits you or not, it\'s not my problem. ** He adds nonchalantly.
Following his words, a small humanoid silhouette manifests itself on the branches of the small plant. She looks like Reha but in a fairy shape. She flaps her little wings and stops a few centimeters from Alvine\'s face.
*...I see, take, take, and again take everything you want; is that what you call a change? And our previous deal!?* Her eyes were dissatisfied but didn\'t contain the same hatred as the other Reha.
**Heh!** Alvine laughs and continues.
**You must be blind for not having noticed my changes. I came to kindly ask you to give me back the billions of souls you have annihilated. In addition, I sent my minions to hunt some beasts that are on this planet. You must know that every beast on this planet is at least at the primordial rank. That means that a dozen souls of these primordial beasts are more than enough to compass the souls you will give back to me. ** He explains himself calmly while looking at the little fairy before him.
Reha remains silent, as her mistrust is at a non-return level.
*And what about our previous deal!?*
**Don\'t worry; no matter how much I progress, it is still difficult for me to create evolutionary seeds. But I--
Reha interrupts him. "You can easily create one that suits me in other ways that don\'t require...of...
She stopped halfway as her ears turned red with embarrassment.
**I have no interest in proceeding in this way with you. I\'m a married man, after all. In addition, you have waited for millennia; a few decades should not be long for you. For us transcendental beings, a century is no longer than a butterfly\'s wing beat. **
Hearing Alvine\'s words, she grimaces with frustration. *You have changed, it\'s a fact, but you remain as boring as usual. *
\'How can a madman like him even bind himself to someone? Plus, he seems to be more interested in my creation than me! It\'s ironic; she comes from me!!\' She had eyes that shouted these words to Alvine as if she made him not feel superior because she was now a mother-in-law to him!
At the same time, his clones return to him after the appearance of a portal.
**So? I don\'t have the luxury of wasting my time with you; my enemies have been trying to locate me for a while; they should arrive in a few years.**
Reha frowns in a skeptical mood. *You will not make me believe that these suicidal people will manage to pass through your guards in a few years. It is impossible to--
**Dear mum-in-law, you forget I\'m not yet at the peak of my power. Well, it\'s true, but I don\'t intend to hide in my hole, knowing that interesting creatures are waiting for me. Plus, there are some of my subordinates who know this place.**
"..." Reha\'s eyes turn to the unbeliever when she sees Alvine granted her wish. But she decides not to play with her life.
After this brief exchange, Reha sighs with bland air and looks at Alvine\'s minions with undecided eyes.
\'The deal is not unfavorable to me. If I merge with my other part and manage to absorb the souls of these beasts that are his creations, I would probably manage to reach the rank of supremacy. But if this madman gives me one of his seeds, my powers will compete with beings considered the absolute masters.\'
While hearing her thoughts, Alvine\'s smile grew on his lips, realizing that he had underestimated Reha\'s greed!
**Well, it\'s up to you to do your homework. If I have not yet killed your other party for her rudeness, it is partly because of my debts. But if you dare, if only to have the thought of harming my fellows, I would massacre you to the last.**
Even if his words seemed to be threats in the air, Reha\'s small silhouette had the impression that her world was fading away.
*Are you sure you are always in the transcendent rank?* She frowns.
**Time is running out.** Alvine retorts without answering her question.
*...Very good. I\'m going to inform my...-
**Not necessary. Now that you have accepted the deal, take these souls and let me take care of the rest.** he shakes his hand, and his clones have disappeared in front of him, leaving twenty small white spheres behind them.
*so what!? Do you think you can steal the souls that belong to me without my consent?*
**Kuku, have you forgotten who you are talking to!? I was clear, though; whether you accept my deal or not, it will not change the fact that I was going to resurrect these two.**
*...Sigh, do as you want.* Reha moves away from her after recovering the twenty virgin souls.
A small portal appeared in front of her, which Alvine created.
But just before she crosses the portal, she takes a last look at Sabrina and the rest of her creations.
**The ten souls are for the deceased, the last ten for those with me. They are weak, even not all will be able to compensate for half of the souls I have just delivered to you. So you are the winner, so don\'t have guilt; leave without regret. And, if possible, don\'t come here as an enemy; I don\'t need to tell you what will await you at the end of this path.**
"Tsk." She slams her tongue and through Alvine\'s portal.
At the same time, a dome covered Alvine, and continued his process.
--
At the same time, Reha, meditating on the island under her massive body, the giant tree, suddenly opened her eyes, noticing a portal.
But soon, her confusion turns into mistrust, then into an erratic smile.
\'Finally, it\'s not too early.\' She whispers when she notices her other part coming out of the gate.
But her smile turned into rage when she noticed her energy escaping from her body. Hee tree, which had gained three times its size the last time, narrows suddenly, and its leaves fade.
She did not need to wonder what was happening and who was the cause of this anomaly.
"I\'m going to kill this bastard!" She roars with rage, ignoring all the good news she has just had.
"It\'s a bad idea." Suddenly, she froze when she heard the fairy\'s voice, which had a smile on the corners of her lips.
Her visual fields become white, and she finds herself in a white place that does not even let her shadow appear under her feet.
She looks at the fairy with suspicion.
"I know what you think. Before I was sealed, I had left you my last will, which was to kill him, in case he threatened us. But unfortunately, you were late. Like me, you let yourself be baited by the thirst for power. So--
"Shut up!" Reha interrupts her.
"No, you know very well that I\'m only telling the truth. A truth which I think will be useful to us. That\'s why, for our good, you will have to let me manage this situation; and in my way." The fairy retorted with a macabre smile.
She was not weaker than Reha, despite her underestimating silhouette.
And unlike Reha, she was the only one who had absolute authority of her territory. Reha needed an artifact to use transcendental authority, but she was the most powerful.
Reha knew it; it was the most frustrating for her.
The disadvantage of fragmenting your soul is a personality disorder. Each fragment is the original, and you must submit the others in case of discord. A phenomenon that almost cost Alvine\'s life when he met his soul fragment.
But having different objectives, the fragment of the soul in Alvine’s ring knew that, unlike him, Alvine had achieved a goal he had desired. And instead of stealing from him this life he had built without his help, he preferred to disappear, bequeathing his memories and possessions to Alvine.
"You are only a relic of the past. Only your powers interest me; the rest, I only have to--
"Don\'t worry; I don\'t intend to make you disappear. Just like him, I intend to give way to my new generation. But if there is one advice I intend to give you, it is not to make him your enemy. I know my past decisions were not the best, but these decisions allowed us to survive. They were not better, but they were the right ones." The other interrupts her with these words that leave Reha in a state of confusion.
