Chapter 2679 Agreement
Feeling a macabre aura escaping from the vial in one of Minos' hands, Wenni narrowed her eyes firmly, remaining silent as she understood the surface of that substance. She would need to delve deeper into what the black liquid represented in order to understand its full potential, but she could tell right away that it wasn't simple.
Even someone who had been so powerful in life and with so much knowledge at her disposal right now, she couldn't help but feel intrigued by the strange power of the substance. Not only that, as a being who now belonged to the reality of the dead, she couldn't help but feel a certain desire for the substance. freewёbnoνel.com
"That... Sounds dangerous," she said as she turned her back to Walkas' corpse. "I can feel that it's going to corrupt my essence, at least in part."
"You really are powerful." Minos smiled, facing the stronger corpse revived only by Abby's powers.
"But we have a method of ensuring that you keep your rational side. But I admit that you'll feel uncomfortable most of the time and you'll have to work hard to maintain your personality.
However, the benefits will be immense. You might become stronger and closer to your power in life and power lasts hundreds of times longer than it can now."
Armhands had prepared well for this mission from Minos and had invested a lot in it. The Elders of the Council had already expected that he would have immense difficulties and that, at some point, it would be good for him to have some of the black liquid with him. As such, he had been sent on this mission with that vial containing enough to sustain up to three Supremes.
Wenni questioned, "Hundreds of times? That still wouldn't give me much time. I'd still disappear after a few hours."
"That's true if it weren't for my ability," as Minos spoke, a golden hourglass appeared in one of his hands, controlling the flow of time.
"Besides this special power, I have an artifact capable of keeping you in hibernation. Through the combination of these three things, I will be able to use your information only at the appropriate times and eventually raise your vitality with my companion's advances." Minos pointed in Abby's direction.
"My own strengthening will help you and, depending on how you can help me, our progress will be even better. Also, in Uzira, there is possibly a source of this black liquid. Just a few milliliters more of it could easily raise your vitality and power in the future to a level similar to that of a living being."
Listening to Minos in silence, Wenni didn't doubt that he could do what he promised, and became even more interested in the possibility of using the black liquid. 'In that case, as long as he succeeds, I can practically live a new life again.' She was interested and couldn't help smiling as she decided. "Very well, you have your deal. In return for your promises, I guarantee that not only will I help you cross the Violent Sea, but I'll also make you rich as a noble of Uzira! I'll take you to my group's island, where our treasure is hidden!"
Tiolos felt a surge of excitement in his body, almost unable to stand the moment and letting out a satisfied laugh.
Minos put away the black liquid and deactivated his power, offering her an official agreement with the promises they had made, including a promise that he would give Wenni her freedom to leave the group in the future. Obviously, this wouldn't happen before they settled in Uzira and found the source of the black liquid.

With the agreement made, both parties swearing oaths to the heavens, she consumed a good part of the black liquid before allowing Minos and Abby to manipulate the liquid in her body to achieve the best possible state.
After just four minutes, her cultivation had gone from the beginning of level 115 to the peak of level 116. Unfortunately, she still couldn't recover her cultivation from when she was alive. But this improvement was enough to strengthen her, with a much stronger vitality and, fortunately, still in control of herself.
"This liquid is really fantastic. How much more of it can I ingest in the future without losing my rationality?" she asked, now with a wilder look on her face.
Abby explained, feeling better after exhausting herself to bring Wenni back to life, "In theory, there's no limit. As long as I can raise my powers, I'll be able to better control your existence and make you endure more of the black liquid without losing yourself to the darkness."
This implied that she would be lost to the bloodlust that the black liquid invoked, or she would be controlled by someone else. Wenni didn't like either, but in this situation where she couldn't choose for herself, she accepted things as they were for the time being.
Looking at her old companion again, she asked. "When are you going to revive him?"
"Later. Abby needs to cultivate to fully recover from working with you. The procedure we'll use with him will be a little different from the one we used with you, which may raise the initial difficulty of our action a little more," Minos answered the woman. "But that will be later today. We're rushing to have you two on our side. The Violent Sea is more frightening than we had expected."
"It certainly is," she agreed. "Since you'll be waking him up later, it's best if we talk about it when we're all together. In the meantime, let me try that hibernation you mentioned. I don't want to waste my life waiting."
Minos nodded affirmatively before a black coffin, with the formations for the purpose they wanted, appeared on the spot.
Wenni didn't make it difficult for Minos and in the blink of an eye, she was asleep in her coffin, while the white urn from earlier, where she had 'slept' until today, disappeared from the room. Minos closed Walkas' coffin as well and signaled Abby to go cultivate. He and Tiolos would monitor Walkas' coffin to make sure nothing strange happened.
