Chapter 1812: Final Negotiations.
Legion-2 added fuel to the fire of greed in her heart by saying, "If your offer is good, it might even be able to convince the orc that bought your spear. I could tell that he was tempted. He just needs enough incentive to ditch 9 Crowns. If you give us that incentive, then you will make 9 Crowns alone and surrounded by enemies. It will just cost you a lot."
What he said gave her an idea. She thought to herself with a glint in her eye, "That's true. I can give up on Golden Light for now. That god might be willing to give on 9 Crowns if I promise to let him go."
The more she thought about it, the better she felt it was a good idea. "I might have to promise that I won't come after Golden Light for a time, but there's nothing that says I can't come after these other four. In time, I might even be able to get back what I paid them too."
She made up her mind and asked Legion-2 with confidence, "So what do you want to break up your alliance?"
Legion-2 smiled and replied, "I want what every god wants. I want a domain."
The eye of a collosal dragon in the void universe twitched in anger, but Crystal Hoard spoke
calmly, "You already know that every god wants a domain. Why would I still be a true god if I had one?"
Legion-2 shrugged and said, "You don't have to give me one now. You can give me the domain when you get it."
She couldn't take it anymore. "Unacceptable. I have to become the first domain god, so I can't give you the first domain I get."
He took a step back. "Fine. But you have to give me the first domain you acquire if you fail to become the first domain god."
She shook her head and said, "I can't do that because I need the strength to pressure 9 Crowns."
It was Legion-2's to become stubborn. He said, "Then you have to give me the second domain you get. I will not have it any other way."
Crystal Hoard refused, "That's ridiculous. The domain is the only thing I can take out of this world. I can't give it up for something useless in the void universe."
Legion-2 refuses to budge. He said, "That is my final offer. If you don't want to give me the domain, why would I give up something so powerful that can help me get the domain myself? Or do you think you are the only one who cares about a domain? If you think the domain is not worth my betrayal, then forget about the deal."
She argued some more, but he didn't take a step back. He already made the cost of breaking the nonexistent contract reasonable. He didn't make it too high to discourage her, and he didn't make it too low to make her suspicious. But this time, he is not going to back down from taking the high price.
She eventually relented, "Fine. I will give you any domain I acquire after my first one. Or I will give you the first domain I get if I don't use it. And i promise to do everything possible to get you your domain after I use the first domain I get."
Legion-2 pushed for more. He said, "All of these must be done in less than a year after you become a domain god. Do you agree or not?"
She gritted her teeth and nodded.
Legion-2 finally smiled. She didn't speak, but he didn't need her to speak. As long as she agrees and signs the divine contract, he won't care if she wants to pretend to be mute.
He said, "Now that that is out of the way. We should take care of my immediate needs." She frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
He explained with a smile, "The reward of a domain is something in the uncertain future. I am not going to give up my current best chance for a domain just for a promise that I don't know when it will be fulfilled."
She pointed out furiously, "You don't know when you will get a domain with your hands either. You don't even know if you will ever get one."
He continued shamelessly, "Be that as it may, I want a tangible benefit for the short term. I won't ask for too much. I just want 100,000 divinity."
She wanted to refuse, but she had already agreed to 1,000,000 divinity and a domain. 100,000 is just a little more, so she didn't mind. At this point, she couldn't let 100,000 be the thing to destroy the progress that she has made.
She nodded in agreement again, so Legion-2 said, "I will speak with the others when they resurrect, but I think they will also want a domain and some divinity. So prepare to give them at least three more domains after mine. Do you agree?"
She nodded while thinking to herself, "You should enjoy this while it lasts. No one gets anything from me without giving it back. You will have to vomit what you have eaten from me."
Legion-2 didn't mind that she was staring daggers at him. He maintained his smile as he said, "Good. Let's sign a divine contract to make it official. Our angels will bear witness."
This made her hesitate. She said, "I need time to accumulate the money."
Legion– 2 nodded in understanding. He said, "That's true. I will wait for you here."
She asked casually, "Why don't you give me your name so that I can reach out to you when I get it?"
He looked at her and stopped smiling. His face became cold as he said, "I am not a fool. I won't give you my name so that you can find my religion in the mortal realm and use it to pressure me. Now go and return quickly. You have 48 hours."
