Chapter 106: New Deal
Zhao Lian seemed happy, a kind figure appeared. Since Elena was converted to Axel''s side, she has always been bullied by Axel in thest hundred years.
After losing to Axel for a long time, Zhao Lian''s personality became a little childish even though her existence had existed for tens of thousands of years.
She stepped down from her artificial throne to sit on the floor with her three guests.
"We already know each other''s identities. So, let''s just skip the introduction and get straight to the main topic, do you agree?" Aizen looked at the goddess tier woman in front of him in a friendly manner.
"Well." Zhao Lian nodded in agreement.
"I have already checked your agreement with Axel regarding the extermination of the Sovereign of Hell, an existence that can defeat a realm king like you until you are in this state. Do you think we can do it at such a risk to us?"
"With my help and your increasing abilities, it is possible. I firmly believe that the spirit of that damned man has weakened so much that it can be annihted now and forever." Zhao Lian nodded confidently.
"You misunderstood what I mean, Miss Zhao Lian. You didn''t even go into more detail about you and your enemy, even Axel doesn''t know more about your realm other than its name. Don''t you know, Axel and Elena have decided to cancel the deal? The information you provide is still not enough and will be dangerous. " Aizen shook his head slightly.
"What !? I can''t believe it, Axel! Even after the techniques and various knowledge I gave! You and Elena decided to betray my trust !?" Zhao Lian looked at Axel in disbelief.
"We do think like that. We can''t take that big risk if you don''t provide us with information. We go with the flow because you have a soul-summoning ritual to revive Master Aizen and Sister Ana. We postpone conclusions and will decide when the timees. "
Axel didn''t flinch, even though she would seem like she was taking advantage of Zhai Lian, she didn''t care about that anymore.
"I can''t believe you''re even more cunning than me! I, I..."
Before Zhao Lian could continue rambling on her about this revtion, Aizen immediately interrupted her.
"Calm yourself down. Isn''t that why we''re here now? If you''re calm, try telling us what you haven''t told us. You can start with who you are or whatever you like. Don''t take Axel badly, she just decided that too just because of you."
Zhao Lian sighed to calm herself down. What Aizen said is true. She entrusted the big responsibility for a small fee, the knowledge she gave was still not enough to earn their trust.
Their target was Divine Sovereign ss being, an existence one level stronger than her. Even so, Zhao Lian still felt doubtful and didn''t tell Axel many things about the middle or higher realm. Even with powers above [Rank 10], she still hid the divine immortal path.
She didn''t vary too much because with her strength at the peak of the mortal realm, it was more than enough to erase the existence of that man because they had all weakened considerably, herself included.
After understanding that directly or indirectly she was also using Axel for her benefit, she could only sigh once more.
Zhao Lian''s spirit had weakened so much that her strength fell to the peak of the Sovereign Spirit Realm, she couldn''t fight against Axel who was still at the beginning of the Elementary Spirit Realm, and now that Axel was in Nirvana Spirit Realm, she couldn''t fight even she tried.
Zhao Lian then looked at Aizen with some thoughts.
"Don''t try to use him to your advantage even if Master Aizen looks kind. Unlike me who will only punish you when you try to use me in your game, your fate will be different if you do what you are currently thinking."
Axel spoke coldly. She was used to bullying Zhao Lian because Zhao Lian always thought of schemes and so on, but this time it was different.
Zhao Lian shivered slightly. Even what she was thinking, Axel could guess now?
"Miss Zhao Lian, let''s make a new deal. We are not ambitious people for unlimited power, we just want to live in peace with our small family. But your merits are big enough to be appreciated at this great risk. Take this, you can send all the information to us with this device." Aizen gave Zhao Lian a small chip.
"But keep in mind, we will be nice to you if you are nice to us. If you do not betray us, then we will not betray you. You can judge my words with time, but please don''t use your screwed mind to judge like thest hundred years."
Aizen smiled even though he still had a serious expression. He knew the worries that might be putting Zhao Lian in a dilemma. At least he needs to straighten out this simple problem because the main problem is not because of mutual use of each other but a matter of trust.
Zhao Lian looked deep into Aizen''s eyes then nodded in understanding. She knows very well what Aizen is trying to say, she still hasn''t been trusted and it''s all because of her concern.
Many existences are drowning in power and forgetting about everything else, she is worried that Axel will negate herself if Axel goes beyond the boundaries of the mortal world. Zhao Lian still needs to take revenge and also look for her big sister who might be in this artificial realm, she can''t die before that.
In an indirect way, Zhao Lian abbreviated what Aizen meant to be "Trust us and we will trust you, betray us and I will destroy you."
Therefore, she sighed once again because this group was her only chance to achieve that, she was already entangled too far to escape from here. Zhao Lian immediately sent the information she knew without fear of anything else, she risked everything here hoping for the best.
Starting from her self, her knowledge, and understanding, her realm which is controlled with her big sister, realm level, to the existence of the Sovereign of Hell who has destroyed their realm and all its inhabitants.
"That''s all I know, I even sent cultivation to the level of Divine King Realm, [Rank 15] if you think. I''m betting everything here, so please help me and don''t disappoint me." Zhao Lian smiled wryly and returned the chip to Aizen.
"Thank you, we really appreciate you. I never thought we were currently living in the lower realm. There are still middle and higher realms... You are from the middle realm, Miss Zhao Lian. Hm..." Aizen processed the data. in the database now with Ana and Axel.
"Please don''t call me that way. You seem to be deliberately distancing yourself from me. I have bet everything I have on you. Everything I know and has ever learned, now you know it. Try to betray me, and I''ll curse you. Don''t underestimate the curse of the former divine being. "
Zhao Lian looked at the three of them seriously as if her words were no joke.
"Our words are true, we swear on behalf of our spirits and souls." Aizen, Axel, and Ana put one hand to their chest with their simultaneous oaths. Zhao Lian smiled happily and felt grateful for it because the oath was also no joke.
"How do we find that man named Jin Jun? He is the Sovereign of Hell who always brings misfortune? Hmm... That''s bad, we need to get rid of that pest immediately." Ana muttered nkly after checking the data in their system, then she looked at the purple sphere that was shaped like a small sun being sealed not far from her.
"That is the soul of a weakened Divine Sovereign? Still so overbearing. Lian, can''t we do something to that soul? If you want to take revenge shouldn''t you start by exterminating that soul?"
Ana spoke as if she had be familiar with Zhao Lian. What Zhao Lian did by risking everything was worthy of her respect.
"It''s hard to do, Ana. My big sister and I can only beat him by separating the soul, spirit, and body of that bastard and sealing him at a heavy price we have to pay. But his spirit can still manage to escape, urgh!"
Zhao Lian shook her head while grumbling. She already sealed this soul with her body''s payment as a seal, Zhao Lian sacrificed her divine body to create this soul trap seal.
"But this is still the soul of the Divine Sovereign ss being, we need to do something about this soul. The soul itself is a flexible resource that is used for the spirit and body to be whole beings in one existence."
Aizen also understood what Ana wanted to do. If Zhao Lian wanted to take revenge, shouldn''t she start with the one she was sealing?
"Isn''t there a way to purify that tainted soul? We can use it as another resource, perhaps?" Ana put her finger on her chin and made an innocent suggestion.
"Eh?" Zhao Lian seemed to realize something, something very important but never crossed her mind at all.
