Chapter 759 Greatest Destiny
'You?'
Hecate sensed Vaan's soul power through their connection and frowned, unable to comprehend the source of his confidence.
'I don't want to look down on your strength, but a soon-to-be Half-step Divine Being is far stronger enough to interfere in a battle between Peak Rank 6 Divine Beings. You'll die without an intact corpse before you can do anything to shift the tides of battle in my favor.'
'As such, I fail to understand where your source of confidence comes from,' Hecate raised her doubt.
However, Vaan wasn't in a hurry to enlighten her.
'Lady Hecate, you mentioned that an all-out battle between you and Abaddon would end in mutual destruction,' Vaan mentioned before asking, 'However, this is under the assumption that you are both in peak states, correct?'
'That's right!' Hecate acknowledged.
'Then what about an Abaddon with an injured divine soul? How confident would you be in killing him and surviving then?' Vaan inquired further.
'Around fifty percent,' Hecate frowned.
'Still only fifty percent, huh? Then what if Abaddon suffers a sudden, strong spiritual attack during your battle? How confident would you be in killing him during that moment?' Vaan asked.
'Then, it would be a hundred percent,' Hecate answered confidently before saying, 'However, there's no point in asking these hypothetical situations. Abaddon's divine soul wouldn't just be magically harmed to our advantage.'
'Or, are you implying that you can hurt his divine soul to such a degree?' Hecate asked with doubt.
'Indeed, that is exactly what I was implying. However, I will also need something from you in order to make it work, Lady Hecate,' Vaan said, arousing Hecate's curiosity.
'Oh? And what would that be?' Hecate asked.
'Didn't you previously mention you obtained Abaddon's left arm and 10,000 drops of his divine blood, Lady Hecate? What do you think would happen to Abaddon if I destroyed all the traces of divine will in these 10,000 drops of divine blood with my Nihility Law?' Vaan asked with interest.
Even he wanted to know the extent of its effect.
After all, the Fifth Progenitor and Eighth Progenitor each only possessed ten drops of divine blood's worth of Abaddon's divine will.
However, 10,000 drops of divine blood was a thousandfold of that!
If Abaddon suddenly lost such a huge amount of divine will at once, wouldn't it be comparable to a powerful soul attack?
She would never expect Hecate to pick Vaan over her.
'So about my previous offer...' Vaan mentioned after confirming that Hecate didn't bear him ill despite learning some of his secrets.
Undoubtedly, his Boundless Sea and Sky Aura must have influenced her Dark Fairy Demon Bloodline to some extent.
Nevertheless, he still had some doubts regarding Hecate's origins.
Given her deep knowledge and high talent, he could not help but suspect her background was not as simple as it appeared.
'I accept, of course,' Hecate stated before continuing, 'I will help you deal with Abaddon if you promise me all that—and agree to one condition of mine: You have to visit my Dreamdust Territory at least once after everything is settled.'
'Sure,' Vaan saw no reason to refuse.
He also wished to learn more about Hecate, Gehenna, and Chaos. Given Hecate's vast knowledge, she was naturally the best person to seek.
Rumble...!
Suddenly, the black pillar sealing the crimson light domain shook several dozen times stronger than the previous times. Without a doubt, it must have been an attack from Abaddon.
Although the black pillar remained stable for the time being, Vaan doubted it would stay that way if it continued to receive such powerful impacts.
As such, his expression immediately turned somber.
'Lady Hecate, how long will it take you to reach the Evernight Territory?'
'Are you in a hurry?'
'It seems Abaddon suddenly decided to descend on this side. I'm afraid the seal obstructing his entry will not last long under his repeated assault.'
'What!? I will leave at once! Whatever you do, you must do your best to survive until I arrive!'
'Alright.'
Vaan softly sighed.
By the looks of it, Hecate would take some time to arrive—but not before Abaddon descended upon their world. Even though he had acquired Hecate's cooperation, he still had to face Abaddon.
There was no escaping his tribulation.
