Chapter 152: An Offer that cannot be Refused

He stops at more than 50 meters away from me. After that, I can see him look around, and precisely toward the point where the little alien, or should I say, Zero, left. I turn toward that location, and I can see him still here. Damn, he probably saw me destroy the robot sent to kill me. I wave at him, to appear nice and friendly, I mean, I didn't kill him. But as always, this gesture is always taken badly. This time, Zero flees with all the speed that his two little legs can gather. Anyway, that way, we can finally discuss without anyone spying.

-Good day to you, Mister Marc Cassidy.

I didn't hear that name for a very long time. Far too long. But that means at least two things. First, he truly saw my history and from where I came. Then, he doesn't appear very threatening so my guess of him being the Hero of Hades is probably wrong. But I can feel a touch of something related to the undead, so, maybe a god related to it, just not the Greek one.

-If you wonder how much energy you can absorb from this form, I have to say, none. It is merely a projection from far away, look.

After saying this, I can see three identical men appearing around me, all covered in dark energies. So it is the advanced doppelgangers, capable of speech. After seeing this, I nod at him, to make him understand that I got it.

-Since this part is already done, I have an offer for you. Seeing you previous pensive stance, I think that you understood where you are. And, even after learning this, you didn't instantly begin to rampage the planet and destroy everything. Meaning that you are not a mindless slaughterer. And that's why I am in front of you. Like I said I have an offer, that you will probably accept, for your own sake.

-I don't really understand one thing. Hades tried to kill me, by sending Heroes of minor gods after me. With that, I am certain that the god Thoth had something to do with it. That's already 2 of your little group trying to hunt me down. Because I am a Devourer of Gods. So why the rest of you are not directly attacking me?

I can hear him lightly laugh, what, am I that funny? I suspect more than just two gods, especially since they destroyed the previous planets. That requires a lot of power, something that is at the same level as me, or even stronger.

-Because, when one sees a threat, someone else can see an opportunity. Hades is young, he was newly born during the fight against your race and so many others. He reached his position after it, but he is arrogant. Since his Hero is near immortal, he thinks that he is eternal. But in truth, you are totally capable of killing him if you find his Hero. That's why he overreacted because he was scared. As for me, I know very well how strong all of you are. Don't think that the Nine Heavens are all allies. Well, you probably figured that out. As for the offer, well, you will probably die if you accept.

-Very nice of you to say that. But I guess that if I refuse, you and the entire Nine Heavens will truly attack me?

-Let me see, yes, just what kind of wish? Doesn't really matter, if it doesn't hurt us. I, Anubis swear on that. Marc Cassidy or Sleek, will enter the Void, provoke enough Chaos to prevent any invasion for 100 000 years, and reduce the size of the breach between our two universes to just his size. The Nine Heavens will not attack him after his return and accomplish one of his wishes, wish, that will not hurt them at all. Done.

Like I trust you to respect it. I feel the same thing that I felt when I swore an oath with Oslo. But this time, I am doing this directly with the Nine Heavens, that absolutely won't breach the oath, right? Bunch of backstabbing liars, I know very well that after I return, I will be their only problem for a very long time. But with a little bit of luck, my System will be repaired. Because that's my only saving grace. Like right now.

As I keep learning things, the System is beginning to be back alive. Even the faults are reduced before I couldn't even read the world name or class, but now, I can suppose it. However, a quick look at my skills and abilities, and in that part, it is still too broken. I don't know how to repair that, however. Maybe kill something from the Void will help, well, I only have that. I try to use the creation of skill, even in front of the other Hero. Nothing is working, as before. Still get the same broken message.

Let's just hope that I arrive at the Void alive.
