Chapter 2605 Underworld Relic
Chapter 2605 Underworld Relic
As soon as he signed it, the contract burnt. The laws around the four Semi-Celestials changed as it happened. It was a contract made with a Semi-Celestial power that could bind a Semi-Celestial, so this much was expected. Finally, the rules were bound to their souls, and if they didn’t want to suffer the backlash, they would have to follow them.
Turen sighed in relief after the contract took effect. This was all but a bet. If the Underworld Semi-Celestials had betrayed him and called the other Semi-Celestials, even Turen wouldn’t be able to escape. However, the Universe Foundation Fragment did have enough appeal to prevent the Underworld Semi-Celestials from doing that.
‘Of course, the main reason they accepted was the state of affairs of the Realm of Gods,’ Turen analyzed in his mind. ‘They know they have lost unless something big happens, like the Vruve’s involvement. However, they know the Vruves would charge a lot for their help. From what Rean and Roan said, they were already in contact with the Vruves. However, now, such negotiations will be rejected.’
Turen was absolutely right. The Devils, due to their imminent loss of their territory of the Realm of Gods, were indeed negotiating with the Vruves. It’s just that not even the Vruves would ever have thought Turen would come out to make a deal first.
*Zush, zush, zush, zush, zush…*
Suddenly, five figures appeared in front of Turen and the Devils.
“Well done, Black Locust. We can finally get rid of Turen and take our time to recover the Fragment in his hand,” a man said as he stepped forward. His name was Toval, a Demon Beast, and he was one of the Semi-Celestials of the Vruve Organization… At least one that was known by the three Realms.
Black Locust explained. “Our little friend Turen had finally opened his eyes and understood that the Universe Foundation Fragment in his hands should be given to our Underworld. He even offered himself to help us protect it in case anyone tries their lucky with it.”
Sansara laughed. “Hahaha! That’s correct. We, Elder Devils, are obviously very open-minded, so to thank them for his service, we decided to retrieve our Devils from the Realm of Gods.”
Turen glanced at those three. What open-minded? That was all part of the contract.
Toval narrowed his eyes. “Do you think you can keep that Fragment for yourselves? We all have been watching Turen’s Dimensional Realm entrance, dreaming of the day we would get his Fragment. Don’t think we will just give up this easily.”
“Is that so?” Black Locust then took out an item that shined with a Golden Light. Immediately, all the laws of the Underworld seemed to bow to that artifact, increasing Black Locust, Sansara, and Kilindou’s power beyond what a Semi-Celestial would usually be able to. That’s the real power of the Underworld Relic. It could only show its full potential in the hands of a Semi-Celestial.
All the Elder Devils prepared to battle. “If you don’t want to leave on your own, we don’t mind kicking you back by force.”
Turen smiled as he saw that. ‘Sure enough, they would never dare to break the Underworld Relic to retrieve its Fragment. It is just too powerful to give up. At the same time, it is the guarantee that the Devils have an absolute advantage as long as they are in the Underworld. Fortunately, it can only be used in the Underworld too. Otherwise, the other Realms would be in big trouble.’
As one can imagine, all five Semi-Celestials hesitated. None of them had the confidence to fight against it.
