"How is it? Are you satisfied?" asked Raiju after swearing a universe oath. All the Rank 2 Gods behind him seed to have no doubt of his decision and followed his decision by swearing the sa oath.
Alex nodded and raised his hand, doing the sa thing. The Elental Gods and Lin Xingzhi also did the sa, so no one would be able to say sothing regarding this eting or even answer with the silent treatnt.
"Still, to think you proposed sothing like this." Raiju closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Interesting. No matter what kind of conversation we will have, we are going to be neutral with each other. This ans that you are in a desperate position where you need allies more than anything.
"However, the Holy God doesn't have that level of threat right now, so it must be related to the past. And with how you want it to last for a hundred years, this calamity will surely happen within one hundred years. This is interesting." Raiju nodded in understanding.
Alex narrowed his eyes. At first, he thought that Raiju was similar to Leoz, but it seed his analyzing ability far surpassed his expectations.
"Either way, you will know it sooner or later. Soone who loves to fight fair and square won't betray in this situation. Hence, I have decided to pull this off." Alex shook his head. "Alright. Alliance is important, but I want you to listen to my side story first. How about it?"
"I don't have a problem."
Alex then turned to Lin Xingzhi and nodded.
Lin Xingzhi stepped forward and opened her mouth. "I am sure that most of you have never heard about it, but I believe you know that the ti where almost all God Kings died is called Period of Darkness. This happened five thousand years ago…"
Lin Xingzhi began telling them what happened to the forr God Kings, the beast, and the so-called "weapons" that killed all those God Kings.
They couldn't help but suck a cold breath when hearing the story. Although the story was hard to believe, they listened to Lin Xingzhi's story to the very end.
After an hour of explanation, Lin Xingzhi finally finished her story and stepped back, allowing Alex and Raiju to continue their conversation.
"So you're saying that the beast is going to resurrect soon? Do you have proof?"
"We have a few proofs." Lin Xingzhi decided to answer his question. "First of all, do you know about the Ti Elent? Especially Ti Eyes… Known as Eyes of Death?"
Raiju furrowed his eyebrows before shaking his head in disappointnt. "I don't have any knowledge about such a thing."
"Actually, I have…" Raiju's assistant suddenly spoke and raised his hand. "Those eyes are known to be the eyes that could see through soone's lifespan. Is that true, Nature Goddess?"
"Ho? Lifespan?" Raiju widened his eyes in amazent.
"Yes. The eyes are calculating the future on their own, transforming the future into a number that symbolizes one's lifespan. However, by no ans that these eyes can take a glimpse of the future. It's only calculation." Lin Xingzhi acknowledged. "I t such an individual in the past. Although he couldn't predict the accurate number, the range seed to be between thirty years to seventy years in the future."
"So, that's the reason why you want one hundred years…" Raiju closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
"The second proof is this." Alex took out the humanoid bat sample he acquired from the planet he visited in the past.
"!!!" The Gods in their side suddenly took a step back as even the God of Destruction instinctively stood up, looking at this mysterious creature. It looked like a bat, but its body was close to that of a human. "This…"
"This is one of the weapons, the bat. They are reproducing at a very fast rate. I've visited a planet once. From their mouth, I learned that it only takes them a week to produce a hundred million populations. I am sure that I don't need to give you the reason what will happen if such a creature cos into your place, right?"
"No wonder. This bat is so scary. If that's the case, how about solving this bat before fighting the big boss?" Raiju asked.
"This only started happening recently."
"So there is no information yet." Raiju looked down with his hand supporting his chin. "I can help with the investigation if you don't mind. Judging from the ti limit and such, I believe that this bat should have at least one God King. If there is only one, I would like to ask you to leave it to because I want to know what kind of strength that can kill those heroes of the past."
"Even so, it's still too dangerous. Lin Xingzhi will accompany you to prevent it from escaping and help you if necessary. I am sure you have no qualms, right?" Alex narrowed his eyes.
"Looking at the death tolls suffered in the past, I can understand your decision, so I won't reject it. Besides, I would like to confirm the truth about this bat. If this is truly true, I can start believing this story completely." Raiju nodded with a serious expression.
"Other than that, I believe we have found the snake clue as well. My n are investigating the area. I am sure we can get a result with this one in a few years."
"That's reassuring. This can even beco more believable if the living proof is there." Raiju agreed.
"That's all you need to know about this cooperation. What do you think?"
"I can promise you that I will be standing on your side if everything is true. Hence, I am going to see whether your story is true or not by fighting those "weapons" myself. I am sure you don't mind, right?"
"That's what I am planning to do to convince the others too." Alex nodded. "I know that this story is unbelievable, considering how ridiculous it is. However, I want once again to say that this is true."
"I can understand. But I won't believe sothing completely until I see it myself. Thus the extent of our cooperation regarding this matter. If Spirit God can agree with these terms, we can talk to the other topic."
"Sure. I don't mind. We can make the Universe Oath together with the second topic."
"Alright." Raiju thought for a mont and asked. "May I know how confident you are in dealing against them?"
"You should be aware of the Holy God's reputation, right?"
"Yes…" Raiju suddenly realized sothing and opened his mouth in surprise. "Are you planning to convince the Holy God to join you?"
Alex nodded. "Hence, I would like to request your cooperation in locating the "snake" to convince him. I will do my best to extend the eting to two years from now."
"I don't mind giving you a portion of my force to investigate, but we can't blindly search, right?"
"Don't worry. I have an idea where he is, but I don't know the exact location. If you agree, I can explain how I organize this search…" Alex smiled.
"…" Raiju seed to understand that this one was different from the previous agreent. To listen to this plan, he would need to swear an additional oath despite having the oath that prevents information leaks.
After contemplating for a mont, he declared. "By Heaven and Earth as the witness, I, Raiju, promise Alexander Sirius to participate in this investigation mission with the right to refuse when I can't see eye to eye after a few talks."
Alex nodded in agreent. The second part was just to ensure his own safety, so Alex didn't take advantage of him. "In that case, I will lay down all my cards now. To search for the snakes, I have the help from three influences: Blackwade Clan, Palm God, and Forr Fire God's God Beasts."
"!!!" Raiju's heart skipped a beat when he heard Alex had the wealthiest clan in the universe and another God King backed his back. Still, he never expected that the ten God Beasts would be helping him. Even though the record about the war was removed, they still had enough record about all those Gods, so this news truly shocked him.
"With you, I believe this investigation can finish within two years. What do you think?"
"I shall spare no effort." Raiju agreed without hesitation.
"Since you are participating, I can rest assured and trust that the investigation will be completed soon." Alex nodded. "Back to the topic, after the Holy God leaves the alliance, we can surely fight them."
"No… It's not that easy. There are ten God Kings that the Holy God invites this ti, including . Knowing his reputation, they will seriously consider his words before deciding. You should know that in the past, there are only ten God Kings, so this one is the biggest alliance I've ever heard."
"…" Alex narrowed his eyes as he had severely underestimated this Holy God. He thought that this person could probably get five people into this so-called alliance, but he was wrong. "Still, I am sure that not all of them are eager to fight . So must co for the Holy God's face."
"Agreed. I am sure that our cooperation can lead to a stalemate. But… What if you fail to convince the Holy God?" Raiju narrowed his eyes. There was a strong doubt in his eyes.
Alex could sense the anger from behind as they couldn't take soone questioning their king's plan. Alex only waved his hand and smiled. "In that case, I don't mind you leaving behind. I am sure that even if you fight together with at that ti, the Holy God will still spare you. To that end, I don't mind you leaving our alliance."
"I don't know if you are that confident or sothing, but I am sure that Eulja will start declining when that ti cos… You know." Raiju smirked.
Alex shook his head. "That depends on the situation. I can't guarantee you anything, but I can promise you that you won't regret trying this."
"…" Raiju couldn't help but laugh while thinking, 'This kid's eyes… They are the eyes of a predator. This Spirit God doesn't plan to buy ti or lose. Instead, he is planning to devour them. His eyes are looking toward the future, not this war. I see, so this is the current Spirit God. He is truly a monster.'
After contemplating for a while, Raiju stomped the ground and grinned. "Alright. I'm in."
"I think I have noted everything down." Raiju's assistant suddenly stepped forward and presented a paper to both rulers.
Each of them let the others take the look of the agreent and nodded their heads.
"With Heaven and Earth as my witness, I, Alexander Sirius, will follow this agreent."
The others also began to swear their oaths before a Lightning Disturbance appeared above the planet, striking the paper. Every word in the paper was shown once again in the form of a Spiritual Golden Word ford by the Lightning Tribulation as though the universe immortalized the agreent.
Lin Xingzhi already told Alex about this thod to simplify the agreent, so Alex quickly stood up and cupped his hand. "As much as I want to say, let's have a drink after the war is over, shall we?"
"Certainly." Raiju stood up and cupped his hands.
"Then…" Alex turned around as he and his group left the world.
…
anwhile, Raiju's assistant asked this question as the others also listened to what he had to say. "Master! I have been staying quiet this whole ti due to your order, but let share my doubt. Why did you accept?"
"You don't see his eyes?" Raiju shook his head in disappointnt. "He is not looking at this war as the battle to fight for Eulja. Instead, he is looking at this war to get a subordinate for the actual battle."
"What?!" The six Rank 2 Gods dropped their jaws.
"This just reinforces his own proof about the beast. Besides, if everything he said were true, our universe would be in danger. Hence, isn't it good for us to be the "good" guy and protect the universe? It will increase our prestige and strength without making the Spirit God an enemy?" Raiju paused for a second and looked at the sky. "Still, as expected… The Spirit God is indeed…
"… a monster."
