Chapter 34/ Interlude 14: Apostle of Greed, Septem.

After I left Farah to go check on the base I secretly built on another planet, I have come to Arvatian. This planet belongs to the goddess of greed Arvatia.

+System report: the base has been destroyed by more than 50% of the facility.

The destruction rate of the facility is pretty slow as if the intruder is waiting for me to come. I arrived at the base; I walk through the destroyed gate. A shadow wearing a mask stands there when I come inside the base.

-So this is a trap, huh? (Hana)

The shadow stares at me:

-No need to worry, I cause no harm to you. (???)

-Who are you? (Hana)

-Apostle of Greed, Devil Septem please to meet you. (Septem)

-Hoh? What does a devil want to do with me? (Hana)

-I want to make a deal. (Septem)

-Deal? (Hana)

-In exchange for hiding the existence of your base and... (Septem)

-and...?(Hana)

-Safety of your master Farah. (Septem)

I immediately deploy millions of thousand nanomachines around me. Those nanomachines float around me and ready to attack her. Septem also deployed many nanomachines around but those nanomachines are infused with black mana. I am surprised at the fact she can control nanomachines and ask:

-Why do you have my invention? (Hana)

-Hahaha? Now, are you interested in my deal now? (Septem)

I hesitated a bit then asked:

-Then what do you desire? (Hana)

-I demand you to support me to dethrone all the goddess. (Septem)

I am surprised at her suggestion:

-Why? (Hana)

-I can't tell you now. (Septem)

-Then how can I believe you. There is a chance that you will betray me. (Hana)

-Haha, I think you will believe me. (Septem)

The shadow gradually takes off her mask. I can't believe in my eye. This is the face of ***.

-My ultimate goal is the same as you. Protect "the current Farah." (Septem)

-...How come? (Hana)

-Long story. Then do you want to agree with my deal? (Septem)

-Yes... (Hana)

-Very well, follow me. (Septem)

Septem creates a gate using her nanomachine:

-We need to mislead the other devil first. I don't want them to know about "our identity" right now. (Septem)

-Then what's your plan? (Hana)

-Don't worry, we can talk about the plan slowly. We have "time" on our side after all. (Septem)

I follow Septem to go through the gate.
