Chapter 465: How Is This the Solution?

—

'Fucking extraterrestrial bastards.'

He didn't like any of these old beings. Always scheming, always working toward their own benefits.

But what choice did he have but to endure this? In the end, he didn't even dare sigh, he simply nodded. "I agree."

"Sorry, not so fast, there are more things you'll need to agree to." the entity said and Neji frowned. "While I like to entertain myself, I do have some responsibilities. Else Brother will be mad. If you succeed in this and do get strong enough to kill the Primordial, that means we lose a client. I can't be harming my own business, can I? So how do you plan to compensate for that?"

"I..." he frowned. "I don't know?"

"You do, boy. Take over the realms ruled by the Primordial and take over the Cube. And therefore you will be a more than worthy replacement as our client. Hey, if you do particularly well, we might even bring you into [The Empire]. No need to be curious about what that is yet, you'll have plenty of time to discuss it with my Brother if you do succeed in this."

Neji stared at her and thought. By brother, she must be talking about her male counterpart, He Beyond Omnipotence. This meant that he not only had to defeat the Primordial but also take over his empire and the cube in one fellow swoop. Neji wasn't well-versed in the art of war and colonization, but Gilgamesh was. If this was what it'd take to win, he'd manage.

So essentially, she was telling him to take over the Primordial God's 'Kingdom', and then join her 'Empire'. Perhaps Primordial himself didn't agree to join them, so she was willing to help Neji out to eliminate him. This was a political game.

On top of all that, he had to take over the Cube too. The Prime gods would have done so already if it was easy, so things were complicated.

Neji understood now. This entity was only willing to help him out because of her own cause... sadly, he couldn't even be mad about it. Neji was desperate and he'd take anything.

Neji nodded soon. If it'd allow him to beat the Primordial, he would do it. He would do anything. On top of that, taking over the Primordial's belongings should soothe his satisfaction too.

"Contract," she smiled and said, as the air before her shimmered and warped. "Read it through before agreeing."

A document materialized out of thin air, floating ethereally before him. It glowed with a soft, otherworldly light, its edges flickering like the gentle flames of a celestial fire. The parchment itself seemed ancient, yet alive, pulsating with a power that Neji could feel in his very bones. It was similar to the Divinity Neji had, but much higher in power grade.

Neji read it well. He didn't want to take any chances with a being like this. From what he could see, the contract didn't hold anything she didn't say already.

She said, "Before you agree, I should let you know one more thing. You will be granted quite a few Negative Traits. Status Defects, basically. They are unavoidable, as what I'm about to grant you wouldn't be tolerated by the Probability Storm if I don't balance things out. You'll be torn apart, otherwise. I'm telling you this now so that you don't get surprised later. Without them, reality wouldn't allow your existence to pass through the opportunity I'm about to push you through. For what it counts, you won't be weakened because of them. Just suffer a little. So don't complain, be thankful."

Entity Beyond Omnipotence said, and though he frowned, he didn't have any way to argue. He might have to go a lot, but he wasn't planning to back down now.
