"Let us see if it will hurt me more knowing that I missed an opportunity to study the entity in you or it will hurt you more knowing that because of you your dearest sister will all die a painful death," Wyatt continued to provoke Adriene finding her despair filled face funny and mostly because he knew that he got her weakness, her concern for her faction members, and she would not be able to do anything about it. In situations like these, it was easier to control someone like Ardiene as she had too much to lose. People like her were greedy, they wanted everything without losing anything. However, that's not how the world worked. Now Wyatt was going to give Adriene a first-hand experience with it. "You are bluffing," Adriene suddenly spoke up with a unique resolve shining in her eyes. Then, locking eyes with Wyatt she continued, "I am willing to bet that your curiosity for the entity inside me is stronger and greater than my concern for my sisters and the others." Adriene knew that now that she had gone down this rabbit hole she had no choice but to double down on her initial bet as there was no guarantee that Wyatt would give her sisters a peaceful death if she cooperated with him. After all, Wyatt had made it clear that he was going to kill every last one of them there was no doubt about it in her mind. So, now that she had offended him, she had a strong hunch that Wyatt would take that anger on her sisters regardless of her cooperation. Leaving her no choice but to double down on her initial bet that Wyatt's curiosity for her inner goddess was greater than his intent to kill her sisters. As Adriene saw it this was the only way for her to save her sisters. Also believing that unless she got Wyatt to take an oath to leave her sister in the presence of the world, she could not be sure that he would keep his promise to her. Thinking so far, Adriene could not help but wonder how a madman like Wyatt was able to gain the title 'Hope of the Southern Region.' According to her, the title 'Psycho Killer of the Southern Region' or 'Mad Scientist of the Southern Region' would be more befitting of him. "Wow, you got more balls than those two," seeing Adriene's stubborn will Wyatt acted impressed and said, "Why don't we continue this somewhere more appropriate? Let me help you—" "Don't you dare come near me or touch me. I swear that if you do I will immediately get my inner goddess to help me commit suicide. And believe me, she is waiting for my consent," seeing Wyatt trying to grab her wrist while acting all friendly, Adriene immediately interrupted him threatening to commit suicide if he dared to touch or come near her. "Woah, relax. I heard you, I won't come near you," saying that Wyatt took a step back even though it was the same as hinting to Adriene her bet might have been right. But Wyatt had to do so because just then he saw the desperation in Adriene's it appeared if he really continued to drag her to his seed world where he had ordered his clone to use the demon merchant codex to hire the Devil Merchant Code to set up an SSS-rank soul trapping array formation then she might commit suicide even before they reach there. Considering the connection between Adriene and the entity Wyatt learned that rendering Adriene unconscious and then taking her to array formation was moot. "Good, you stay back and don't you dare try something funny. If you do, then don't blame me if I prematurely commit suicide over a misunderstanding," Adriene warned Wyatt not to spook her because considering her current circumstance and mental state that might cause misunderstanding leading to her committing suicide prematurely. "Sure, let us talk this out. I am sure we both can come to some sort of compromise," Wyatt nodded knowing that the scenario that Adriene spoke of was possible seeing how desperate and unhinged she was. Wyatt was indeed interested in the entity using Adriene as a vessel for its recovery because in his opinion it, in its heyday might be stronger than Apex Ruler Class beings he had come across. Even stronger than the Celestial Blood Rule Slave and the Deviant Devil Mamas Mulias. Considering that these two were already the ceiling of the Apex Rule Class beings, Wyatt had a hunch that the entity in Adriene's body might have been transcendent. This was just Wyatt's guess considering what he was learning through the entity's soul pathways that were entangled with Adriene's. Therefore, chances were Wyatt might be overthinking it as there was no way to tell if the entity was really a transcendent being unless the entity recovered back to its heyday when it was the most powerful and complete. Regardless Wyatt could not miss this opportunity to study such a mysterious being. Just by exploring a little about what it did to Adriene's ego gem, Wyatt learned a lot. He could not imagine what he would learn next from its soul pathways. Wyatt could not wait to get the entity out of its shell and uncover the secrets of its soul pathway arrangement one by one but first, he would have to think of a probable way to capture it to continue exploring its mysteries as right now reading its soul pathway was like trying to decode a compressed file. Wyatt had no idea what method the entity used but it had managed to squeeze itself into Adriene's body along with her soul especially considering the realm difference between them. The entity was obviously powerful for Adriene's soul and body however it continued to use her as its vessel without much problem. It was like it had compressed itself like compressing a large file into a smaller one so that it would take less space.
