485 [Bonus chapter] Sith's Advice
How in the world did it come up with such an idea? Damn! I was this close to falling for it. I didn’t even want to imagine what would happen if I ever made such a mistake.
“Hahaha! Stop it, please! Hahaha! I can’t take it anymore, hahahaha! Tell me what you will choose, hahahaha! Come on, let’s make a good deal here, hahahaha!”
I listened to its rubbish talk and couldn’t help but inwardly sigh. That dude was really… Convincing!
With its childish voice that would make anyone feel close to it, and its laughs that came in such a natural way… Everything pointed out the opposite of what Sith said.
But I trusted Sith! He stood by my side on more than one deadly occasion. I knew he was here for my sake… Wait, he was here not only to warn me, right?
“Sith… Tell me what do you want from me?” Sith always came and offered help but also would guide me towards doing something crazy.
Last time he stood by my side when I fought desperately against the alien universe creatures. But he also guided me through my cultivation technique and helped me to ride over the deadly star weapons.
So as he was here, didn’t it also mean he was trying to give me another valuable advice and help?
[You have a valuable and very rare chance here] As I expected, he came here to give me a pleasant gift, [This monster… You can have it]
“What?!!!” but what he said shocked me. “What are you talking about?!!”
[Just think about it… That monster is a dark realm evolved and mutated beast, one of a kind. But do you know how such a monster came to existence?]
“I… Don’t know such a thing!” I was honestly admitting my ignorance here about this. In fact I still saw facing such monsters as a test that I shouldn’t be facing at this current stage.
[He got infected from the dark energy of the other universe] Sith started to explain, [The other universe is trying its best to invade and infect us with its energy. Worlds without races are just like good soil for its energy to spread and infect monsters. And as such, this monster and many others were created]
“Do you mean… Are you referring to my shadow world?” I started to link the dots here. And with the Sith’s next words, I knew I guessed it right.
[Bingo! Our cultivation base is what we might call a variant, a successful use of that universe energy without getting under their control. That also gives you an advantage here. These monsters stopped growing long ago thanks to the rarity of dark energy in our universe. But inside you shadow world, he can continue growing and maturing in a fast pace]
“That’s… Interesting,” I slowly muttered while looking at the colossal behemoth in front of me, “should I try to suck it inside my world then? But…”
I paused out of hesitation and pure fear. Last time I tried to do that, it was against an immense amount of dark energy but it was no way near that monster here.
It wasn’t just the size, but I felt the quality of dark energy in that monster was way much higher and much purer than anything I ever saw.
Trying to get such a behemoth inside my world? Damn! It would look great and enticing from the surface, but thinking about it gave me goosebumps! ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
[Even if you forced him in, you won’t get it as your pet]
“Pet?!!! This thing?!!! So…”
[If you forcibly took him inside your world and he was still your enemy, it would be a disaster! He would be like a grounded dragon who gained wings! You won’t allow him to enter there before being on your side]
“But… I can only do that by contracts… And I’m sure the contract that bastard has is a very high calibre one.”
I understood what he wanted me to do here. Forcing the monster to sign a contract was a problem, but breaking the contract it had and making it sign another with me was another and much bigger problem.
[I’ll provide the contract for you to use, but you have to force him to sign it]
“What about breaking that contract?”
[Do you think there is truly something in this universe that can bind such monsters?] Sith said such shocking words, [He is just acting docile as he gets what he desperately needs from the Selvators. But in fact, all the big forces in the universe know that such kind of monsters won’t be bound by anything born or made in our universe]
“Then… Won’t it turn against me once it got what it wanted? Damn! I can’t risk doing this!”
[Wrong! If we don’t have anything to bind him, you have]
“My shadow world?”
[Wrong! It’s not your world, but your cultivation]
I felt at loss once more. Why every time Sith appeared and talked to me, I always had such hard to grasp conversations?! It… Felt quite frustrating!
[You dumbhead… If not for being too damn lucky and gaining such rare chances that I never saw anyone have in such a short amount of time, I’d better go and have fun instead of talking to a thick headed human like you!]
“Don’t get me involved in your love affairs,” I rolled my eyes, “and stay away from the girls from the love shrine.”
[You know nothing! As if they are all girls out there, humph! And before advising others, advise yourself first, womaniser!]
“I learnt from the master.”
[Then show more respect to the master and don’t waste more of my time! Just use your head for a bit, and stop making me spoon everything to you each time!]
“Sorry, but can you make yourself clearer? Or give me a hint?”
[Damn! Ok, ok… I got my blood pressure off the roof already thanks to… Ahem… Fine… Here is your tip… It’s like the last time we did it together]
“A cultivation technique?!!! You don’t mean…”
