Armipotent

Chapter 300 – Offer

It was truly fit with her title, and if he had to be honest, Lunea was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. In fact, beauty was not enough to describe how stunning she was.

"I don't know why you want to be my slave in exchange to save you? But your life is at stake in my oath. Your fate has been decided, that is the cruelest suffering!" Tang Shaoyang licked his lips while Lunea covered her face with the cloak.

He was not lying, Lunea was one of eight Gods, so she was part of the oath where he had to make her suffer, not helping her. He was a man with his words, despite her beauty he would keep his promise with Rumru.

"What do you mean?" Lunea asked in a concerned voice, but soon the Goddess of Love went with "Ah!"

"Were you talking about the Black Dragon, Rumru?" She had seen the transformation, and she could tell what happened between the dragon and Tang Shaoyang immediately. The oath he was talking about must be a Divine Oath between the two.

Tang Shaoyang got the bloodline and the Black Dragon asked him to avenge him. That was most likely what happened, and also the main reason why the beasts followed him.

"It seems you remember him. That's right, Rumru asked me to give the cruelest suffering to you, eight of you!" Tang Shaoyang grinned, he showed no fear despite how amazing the Goddess was to freeze time.

"Is he still alive? I have tried to find him, but I can't find even his presence," before she decided to meet with Tang Shaoyang, she had checked the first, and someone like Rumru was easy to detect by her but she could not find the Dragon's existence.

"Of course, you can't find him, he's inside!" Tang Shaoyang pointed his chest with his thumb. He did not lie as technically, Rumru was inside him, as a spirit.

"Can you let me talk with him? Let me convince him to spare my life because I have something big for him! A deal, between three of us!" Lunea had not given up yet. She seemed so desperate than he thought.

This made Tang Shaoyang curious. What causes her to be like this? The threat forced her to ask for his help instead of her seven friends. To the point that she was willing to be his slave.

At this point, everything was on Rumru, 'Do you want to talk with her? She seems to have something that could make you relent.'

—Heng, what I want is my wife and also my daughter. She can't give me what I want. A resurrection skill needs a body and the soul. My daughter was burned by those bastards, and my wife lost her soul because of [Clairvoyance]! So the resurrection is impossible.

Rumru's raging voice immediately resounded in his head. He instantly rejected the notion of negotiating with the Goddess.

'May as well hear what she wants to say first? Maybe she has a way to revive your wife and your daughter. Do you remember the system that stimulates the game in my world? Lunea has a little or maybe more than a little authority over the system. She may have a way to help you,' Tang Shaoyang just wanted the best for his benefactor who had given everything.

Sure enough, Rumru fell silent. Clearly, he was tempted after hearing Tang Shaoyang's reasoning. At the same time, Lunea did not press the matter since Tang Shaoyang seemed to communicate with Rumru.

—Alright, but don't summon me yet, just listen to what she has to say first.

Rumru agreed to hear what the Goddess had to say. It was a lie if he did not get hopeful after hearing what Tang Shaoyang said.

"So, what are you willing to give for the Black Dragon? Everything depends on your offer," he conveyed Rumru's instruction.

From his perspective, gaining someone strong as Lunea as a slaver or subordinate benefited more than killing her. Especially now, he did not have the capability of killing her, taking her in was the reasonable course of action. However, he had to listen to what she said first, saving her from what? That was what he wanted to know the most.

"His wife and his daughter back!" Lunea replied instantly since she already knew what the Dragon wanted, "I have a way to revive them, and we can put that condition in the oath!"

Sure enough, Tang Shaoyang could hear the rough breathing in his head. Rumru lost his control a little bit after that shocking offer from the Goddess of Love.

"But?" Even though Rumru was excited with the offer, he was sure there was a condition for the resurrection. He had some experiences with Delia's resurrection, so this should be harder to revive the two individuals without a body.

"But you need a big sacrifice to revive them, like a God for the sacrifice, and also a spirit at the same level too," Lunea explained, "The God sacrifices to form the physical body and the Spirit Sacrifices to form the soul! The last condition, you need me to execute the resurrection."

"God exists?" Tang Shaoyang blurted out, questioning God's existence.

"I don't know, but the System recognizes someone with authority like us as a God, hence that title originated from," Lunea shook her head while explaining what God was.

"Why does it have to be you? Can we look for someone else?" He was not going to believe her until he explained thoroughly.

"I have achieved authority over the healer class, all the knowledge about healing, resurrection, and more are in my head. On top of that, the skill is my creation as skill creation is part of the reward when you are titled as a God by the System, so you need me unless you want to look for someone who achieved the same thing as me which may take more of your time than making a deal with me," Lunea came with a preparation.

Despite her explanation, Tang Shaoyang still did not believe her. Not after what happened with their first deal. On top of that, they could not confirm what she said. It could be a lie, but everything depended on Rumru's decision. He was just the middleman at this point.

'It's your decision, Rumru. But this will cost us a lot, a God-level spirit, I don't know how many sacrifices to summon such spirit,' Tang Shaoyang left the decision for Rumru to take. It was his call.

As for the God-level figure, the other sevens could become their sacrificial lamb, 'Or we can use the seven Gods to summon the God-level spirit, are you willing to wait?'

—I don't know, this may be too much for you…

The Dragon felt bad for some reason. Asking Tang Shaoyang to avenge his family was their exchange, but now he has nothing to offer.

'Are you willing to forgive this Goddess, then? I mean, your wife and your daughter's resurrection benefited me more, so you don't have to feel bad about that. Killing the Gods can make me stronger, do you forget the leveling system?' Tang Shaoyang shook his head.

—You weird me out. Early you let anger take over you, and you have become someone I want, cruel and merciless. Now you become someone that kind, you are willing to do this troublesome thing that may risk your life. I have to admit that this may benefit you more, you may face a deadly risk.

Rumru voiced his thoughts. The change of emotion was too fast for him, he could not adapt to it. The Dragon found this was surreal.

'Nah, it's just a simple principle. If you are kind to me, then I will be kind to you. If you are my enemy, I will be the cruel monster that will destroy your life with all means,' it was a direct answer he gave to the Dragon.

—But we don't know yet what she wants from you…

'Then let's find out what she wants to say, shall we?' Tang Shaoyang looked toward Lunea, "What do you want in exchange?"

"Save me from the System! My friends are about to do something crazy that will violate the System's regulations. From my research, the System will freeze us, forever!" Lunea revealed huge information without hesitation.

"Something crazy?" He wanted to know what this crazy thing was, "You! They want to catch you by themselves if the Templar Knight and the two Legions from the Seanic Church and Eidenburgh fail to catch you!" Lunea pointed her gloved finger at Tang Shaoyang, "At this point, they don't care about the information you have about the game, but this is about their pride since you openly disgrace them!"

"If they make their move, then I will be dead for sure. Why do you come for me, even ask for my help?" No matter how much he hated these Gods, he had to admit that they were far stronger than he was, at least for now.

"You can't be killed. We who have attained authority can't touch you, the player who comes from another world. You are under the system's protection," she explained everything without hiding it from Tang Shaoyang, "I have told this, but they are just madmen, they won't listen to me."

"That's why you came to me? But why me specifically?" More questions kept coming out from Tang Shaoyang.

"First, you admit that you are an Emperor. Second, it's your relation with Rumru. The fact you have his bloodline, confirming my conjecture. Third, it's my guts feeling that keeps telling me to trust you."
