Death... and me

Chapter 2604  Signature

These three Semi-Celestials were all the Underworld had. To find these three gathered at the same time and in the same place was truly hard. "Turen, you even used your power to change the laws and communicate with us, telling us you wanted to make a deal. You are now in the underworld, so why shouldn't we just get rid of you here instead?"

"Don't you want my Universe Foundation Fragment?" Turen asked as he shrugged his shoulders.

The expression on the face of those three immediately changed. "After so long, you want to trade your fragment? Are you really willing to give up your chance of entering the Celestial Realm?"

Turen sighed in response. "For me to do that, I need to come out of my Dimensional Realm in the Temporal Path and bring the Fragment with me. That's not a place where I can study the laws, which will absolutely be necessary. So, tell me, what use is there to keep this Fragment if I can't use it?"

Turen then pointed at Black Locust and the others. "And don't tell me you didn't keep an eye out there. As soon as I exited my Dimensional Realm, I felt countless presences all around. I'm sure you would have come to meet me even if I didn't warn you in advance I was coming for you."

"Then why did you change your thought only now, after so many years?" Sansara asked him, not trusting Turen at all.

"I have my reasons," Turen answered, not explaining much. "What you need to understand is that I'm willing to give my Fraqgment to your Underworld. You already have that Underworld Relic, but it can't be used as the Fragment inside is the core of the artifact. Another extra Fragment should be very convenient."

"What?!" All three Devils were once again shocked. However, it wasn't because they weren't willing. The Fragment was worth this much. Instead, they couldn't understand something else. "The Realm of Gods was the one who pursued you the most back then; they almost managed to kill you for good. Why would you want to help them now? I remember very well that you were very happy when we took that territory."

Black Locust agreed. "Indeed. And don't come at me saying that it is because it is your home or whatever. There isn't a single idiot here who would believe that bullshit."

"Hmph!" Turen didn't deny that. "Yes, I couldn't care less about the Realm of Gods and everyone living there. As far as I'm concerned, everyone there can die, and I would shed a single tear. However, I have my reason to end this war between you and the Realm of Gods. Now, the offer is on the table."

Turen then glanced behind once again and smiled. "And you probably don't have more than a minute before the other Semi-Celestials arrive. From what I can feel, we have five 'friends' incoming."

Black Locust, Kilindou, and Sansara looked at each other. There was obviously the issue of who between the three of them would keep the Fragment if they accepted it.

As for the Realm of Gods, they know the Living Soul Devil has escaped, so the Realm of Gods is marching at full power to reconquer the continents. They weren't idiots. It was only a question of how much time it would take before the Devils there were defeated. The only difference was that accepting this deal would end things earlier and potentially save the lives of many devils, including Elder Devils.

Those three exchanged Divine Sense Messages nonstop and as fast as they could. In just thirty seconds, an agreement was reached between the three. In the next three seconds, a Dark, White, and Golden contract emanating unfathomable power appeared in front of Turen. "Everything we discussed is stated there, and we have already signed. If you sign it, our Underworld will declare its surrender and have the Devil in the Realm of Gods return to the Underworld."

Turen was as much an old fox as any of those three. He went through all the contents of the contract in a flash, confirming that there were no loopholes. "Seems like it is a deal."

Then, he signed with his own blood.
