“Bloodette, here’s the thing. Just like how you were being forced by the world’s will to do its bidding. Cortney, here, was also forced by the world’s will to do what happened yesterday.
The only difference is you were strong enough to resist the influence of the World’s will, but Cortney is so weak that she succumbed to the domination of the world’s will and ended up hurting you.” While I was in Bloodette’s good grace, I decided to strike when the iron was hot and put in so good words for Cortney.
I chose my words carefully not to describe what Bloodette went through yesterday but enough to make her realize that what she went through was not sothing a weak girl like Cortney could resist. I spoke in favor of Cortney. After all, nding Cortney and Bloodette’s relationship was the first step to
getting permission to comprehend the World rule ‘Blood’ inside this cave dungeon.
“I know the one who summoned
yesterday is not Cortney but the world’s will. Cortney is so weak. Sobody as fragile as her cannot resist the domination of the world’s will like .
That is why I allowed you guys in here, didn’t I? But I do hate being put in a situation like that. Being weak is no excuse to treat a friend like that. And not to ntion that I did not get paid for yesterday’s summon. Though It is complicated, I still got summoned, didn’t I? I am angry at Cortney because she did not give
the blood pudding she promised .” It seems Bloodette was fully aware of what happened yesterday and did not seem to bla Cortney as much as Cortney blad herself for hurting her friend.
Bloodette’s only grievance was that she was not compensated appropriately by World’s Will or Cortney for being summoned yesterday. Instead, she got her ass handed down to her by . I understood her, she had very reason to be angry. Because not only was she not paid, but she got her ass whooped. That isn’t fair. A supre being should be paid for her days’ work. Even if that supre being lost disastrously and ran away with her tail between her legs.
“I am sorry, Bloodette. I know after what happened yesterday, you feel cheated and betrayed. I feel so bad for treating you like that yesterday. I promise that sothing like that will not happen ever again.” As soon as Cortney said those words, I felt an omnipotent presence watching us. Especially Cortney.
I finally understood the side effects that Clown Mask ntioned about Cortney’s physique Tao Tongue were no joke. I also noticed that due to my high synchronization rate, I could feel the presence of the World’s will when it showed itself.
“I believe you, and now give
my blood pudding.” Bloodette quickly forgave Cortney and believed her promise. If I can detect the World’s will witnessing Cortney’s promise, then so could Bloodette. After all, she is an oddity brother from the World Rule ‘Blood’.
“Thank you” seeing Bloodette forgive her so quickly, Cortney was touched. As an orphan, Cortney knew how bad it felt to be betrayed. Therefore she felt so bad for what happened to Bloodette yesterday. If it were her on the receiving end, she would not be kind enough to forgive those that betrayed her trust. She would go one step ahead to hurt them so they, too, could feel 100 tis the pain she felt.
Cortney’s thoughts were not wrong. As a supre being, Bloodette was a very vindictive being. Humanity, which is known for its trickery, has always been on the receiving end of the Supre Being’s vindictive nature. Being an oddity born out of the World’s rule, these supre beings are embodints of power and innocence. They are just like mighty animals but with the intelligence of humans missing the wisdom that humanity has handed down to their younger generation.
The combination of power and innocence is never a good combination to have. It made the supre being the target of humanity’s trickery. And the supre beings hate being tricked more than anything, and they know how to hold a grudge. Innocence doesn’t an virtue. Virtue and innocence are two different concepts.
When a tiger is hungry, it kills a deer. This act of the tiger is innocent, but there is no virtue in it. Similarly, though supre beings are innocent in nature doesn’t an they are virtuous. They are the strongest predators humans have faced in this world.
Though current Bloodette appears harmless as a rabbit, as a being who grows stronger with stronger blood, she consus. Humanity is her pri source of strength. That is why the Old Bloodette got sealed in this dungeon in the first place.
But there is sothing different about the current Bloodette instead of choosing to feed on young Cortney when they first et. The two end up becoming best friends. Gaining the trust of the supre being is not as easy as Cortney and Bloodette make it seem. I guess Cortney’s physique Tao Tongue played a significant role in gaining Bloodette’s trust.
“Here, I brought enough blood pudding….” Cortney summoned and stacked up a small mountain of blood pudding from her storage trunk card. Before she could finish speaking about it, Bloodette turned into a blob of blood and devoured the entire mountain of blood pudding in one gulp.
“Yummy!” Bloodette turned into her humanoid form with a satisfied smile pasted on her face. But soon realizing that she had no blood pudding left, she was saddened, “oh no!”
“I knew you would do sothing like this; therefore, I saved so. Promise
you will eat them sparingly.” Saying Cortney stacked up another smaller mountain of blood pudding.
“I promise,” Bloodette exclaid, looking at the newly stacked mountain of blood pudding, and this ti she acted with human manners and took a blood pudding cup. And tearing the cover, she ate it slowly, savoring the taste of the blood pudding.
