Chapter 538聽聽: Everyone was involved. 2
"Everything and everyone has a price. Even beings like the 5 regulators of existence are the same. We just needed to find the correct currency."
"...."
"Vlad, he got Lilith!"
Vlad’s eyes glowed brighter, and his dark face distorted.
He attacked again, this time using even more force, but the only thing that happened was everything shook before his overwhelming force, and everything in front of Vlad had been erased from existence.
His attack, despite being sudden, was calculated. Proof of this is that only the roof of the castle broke due to the pressure of the wind. If he had attacked towards the ground, a catastrophe would have happened.
"Like I said, it’s useless." Baal was carefree.
"Demon." An annoyed growl was heard, and the pressure increased, even more, Morgana had trouble standing, and her breathing was heavy.
"Touch a hair of hers, and I will not rest while I destroy all of your souls."
"... Pfft, Hahaha" Baal completely ignored Vlad’s threat. "Unfortunately, we both know you can’t do that. Destroying thousands of souls will break the balance, and even though he’s your friend, he won’t let that happen. "
"Goodbye Vlad, we met a few years ago. If all goes well, all your territories are in political chaos right now because a lot of small members were killed. If it doesn’t work out... Well, My King sent a message."
Baal’s face became serious, and he replied:
"Do not interfere." Then, Baal threw something in Morgana’s direction.
"... A contract."
"A demon contract signed by my king, follow my king’s words, and do not interfere in the war by taking a side against demons or trying to destroy demons in doing so."
"In less than a year, you will have your daughter back. You have my word and that of my king that not even a single hair of hers will be hit."
"...." Vlad’s face visibly distorted. Even though he was angry and wanted to strangle this demon like a chicken, he easily realized the political implications that Diablo forced on him.
If the war grows more and goes on for a long time, alliances will be made.
And the world can be divided again, after all, few beings agree to ally themselves with demons, and these beings are just evil gods and their servants.
And if the evil gods who own literal hells do that, the royal gods of their respective pantheons won’t keep silent, and likely, an alliance will be formed between them as well.
’If the evil gods have really allied themselves with Diablo, the world will be split into two sides, and peace will be completely over. By asking me not to interfere, he’s basically asking to become a neutral faction.
... And a neutral faction in times of war only survives if they are very strong.
Supernatural history proves it, and Vlad knows it too.
’It’s a trap. No matter what I do or the decisions I make, he’s already set the stage. He’s just inviting the actors now.’
Of course, this ’invitation’ is not a kind invitation but a forced one.
I took a side, I have allies, I am strong. How about you? What will you do?
That’s basically what he was saying.
’How did he get the cooperation of these beings? What ’currency’ did he use?’
A black portal appeared, and Vlad narrowed his eyes.
It was the same portal that Diablo came out of at the meeting.
’He wasn’t lying. Only beings of the same level as my friend can interfere in his realm where he is basically omnipotent.’
"Goodbye, Vlad~" Baal flashed a small, gentle smile and left.
"Bastard-" The last thing he heard was Morgana’s scream.
